jury The Former Makes $1,000
Bond and Is Released.

The Cotton Exchange Bank which
opened for business in Brooksville last
October, was closed Wednesday. which
was precipitated by the failure OF the
bank to honor draft for $1,000. 1t is
said the draft was sent to the New
York correspondent of the bank for col
lection and it was protested and when
that fact became known, those who
could withdrew their funds.
Assistant Cashier Adams made a
sworn statement to the state auditor. it
is charged, on December 28th, that the
bank held deposits in the sum of $27,-
900, and the affidavit on which he was
arrested charges perjury. in that the
statement was false. Cashier Timms
was arrested in Brooksville Thursday
and made bond in sum of $1,000. The
assistant cashier, Adams. was brought
to Macon this morning by Sheriff Dants-
lor and up to the time of going to press
the bond of $1,000 had not been made.
From reports now circulated only
$500 of the 500, 900 had been paid in.

Big Peanut Crop in Texas.

Apprehension is felt by farmers
that a market cannot be had fol
peanuts an almost dead.sure crop,
that on average land will make
forty bushels to the acre. The
following despatch from Dennison,
Tex, shows that an enormous crop
is raised in that state, and a ready
market is secured:
"Texas will produce and market
more than q million bushels OF
Spanish peanuts this year," said
George Morgan, manager of a To-
cal mercantile company. "The
1912 crop was in excess of 450, 900
bushels and the increased acreage
this year will more than double
the production. The Oklahoma
production this season will be
three times as large as that of last
year. / firmly believe that within
a few years Texas will be leading
the entire United States in the
growing of Spanish peanuts. The
acreage has increased phenomenal
ly during the last FIVE years and
will codtinue to increase from year
to year. Peanuts, according to my
notion, will be the coming crop in
Texas, especially in certain parts.
The Denison peanut factory, the
largest in the Southwest, has in
creased it's daily capacity from
2500 to 1000 bushels day during
the last four months and every
thing is ready to handle this years.
crop. The plant will make it's mi
tial run of this season about Octo.
ber 1, although it is probable that
it may be started a few days pre-
vious to that in order to handle
the earlier marketing.
"Last year the Denison plant
handled 300 cars Of peanuts, or
practically the entire crop of Tex
as and some nuts from Louisiana
and Oklahoma" said Mr.. Morgan.
"This year we will handle many
more cars. With increased capa-
city Of the Denison mill and the
leasing of the plant at De Leon,
with a daily capacity of 1900
bushels, we will be able to take
care of many more cars. In event

last year.

DAIRY NOTES.
Demand for Dairy Cattle in West.

Oemunu J0T OdtTy Cuttte IN West.
The demand for dairy cattle in the
west is continually growing. Several
carloads have been shipped from the
east into the Central Western States,
while many more have gone from the
Central States into states of the far
west, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, New Mex
leo, Arizona and California taking the
largest number. We published state
ment from the federal Department of
the Interior which holds forth glowing
prospects fer the breeders as follows:
'The breeders of good dairy stock in
the middle west are awakening to the
fact that the national irrigation projects
are opening upE first class markets for
their surplus feilk cows and yagistfrfa
bulls, During the last two years the
settlers on the reclaimed lands haye OIL
ganized numerous cooperative cream
cries and are constantly increasing the
number of cows on their farms. This
is only further evidence that no part of
the country can be develoded without
some corresponding benefit to the whole
nation. Jersey Bulletin.
In Kansas they are loaning farmers
money according to the amount of sill
age they have. One more argument for
putting up silo. Prairie Farmer.

the herd was fed meager ration and
produced an average weekly yield of

SCINSKI REFUSED
 TO TAKE EASY CASH
Had Chance to Get Back Some Of His Lost Roll, But Had Consider
 ation for Home Fans.

Baseball fans of New Britain should appreciate the action of Bill Scin- ski, the owner of the New Britain ball team, in staging game in this city Saturday morning when 1t would have been to his benefit financially to transfer it to Springfield, as re- quested by the Ponies management.
 Scinski is the gamest magnate in the league, despite the fact that he has been losing money steadily. He Is doing his best to strengthen the team and expects to make more changes until satisfactory aggrega tion has been assembled. Guesses on how much he has dropped range from $5,000 to $S,000. including the sum he paid for the franchise. He was shown where he could get some of that back by transferring Saturday mornings game, but refused to do so, as he realized that local fans wanted to see some professional baseball on the holiday.
 It was a disappointme to some to have the game called at 10:45 as New Britain was showing a splen- did fighting spirit. But that had been agreed on hours before and the program could not be changed. It might be well for the schedule maker to pit nearby teams against each other on holidays as one city at least must be given an abbreviated exhibi- tion.
 Pitcher Burroughs has been to New York to be examined by a physician regarding his arm. It is believed that some fragments in his shoulder have become crossed as he is unable to throw a ball across the diamond.

When the Defiance sails again she will have a very different rig from the spectacular one with which she started last week. She came down from Bath with a topmast towering as high in the air as that of the Re- liance. 153 feet from the water line to the truck, and above this it was hoped that she would set n club top Sa il which would have carried the sail fifteen feet higher. She had one fair ly good trial last Wednesday. and when c. M. Pynchon. E. Walter Clark.

The accident to the hobstay in the afternoon settled all differences of opinion. and the yacht was taken to City Island to he dis mantled at Jacobs yard.
 The wooden mast Is the same length as the steel mast, 112 feet. but it is much lighter. The topmast for this spar is forty-two feet long. and 1t sets two feet in cap on the lower mast

N. B. LOOKS BETTER SAYS CHALLENGER
During Past Week Team Makes
 Decided Cans.

Bridgeport, June 1.-There were signs. of improved play in New Brit aims work last week. The team gave Hartford tough tussle and it may yet work into greatly improved form. Smith shows something of the skill which he displayed in Meriden. If he can get his cunning into, last sea sons form the other fellows will find it hard to. win 8 ball. Paddy Greene, too, looks better than he has been In several seasons. Couple this with the striking gains in batting and fielding and New Britain may yet be happy. During the past week the team won two out of seven games. 1e is not so much, but it was a gain, And that means something.
 The big event of the week was the spurt of New London with six wins out of seven games and the tumble of waterbury with only two wins out of seven. New Britain did just as we'll. Springfield was the other spurter with five wins out of seven games. All this carried the Ponies up to nose and nose running with Water bury. Hartford did not have much of a job with only three wins out of seven affairs, and New Haven and Pitts field travelled at the same speed. Bridgeport won four out of seven. There Is a team which would give them all run if 1t had couple of strong hurlers It Is the best SCOT ing machine in the league.
 Locals in 300 Class.
 New Britain has quite a few per formers in the 300 class. Catcher Egan looks good. He starts off by leading the league. Jones, Luby and Foran make up a quartet. and that Is as much as any team has. New Britain made a fine gain of seven teen points in team batting and there was an improvement of four points In fielding. Tetreault looks as though he might make a bid for fast class honors. He has made at least one safe hit in each of his last nine games and is close to the 300 mark, includ- Ing his game in Pittsfield. Here are the records of those players now with New Britain:
 Egan .429, Luby .S42, Foran .333, Jones .332, Tetrault .275, Moves .26s, Hancock 263, zeimer .2Ss, Greene .23S, Connolly .20S, Wilson 200. Daw- son .10S, O'Hara ;096, Burroughs .067.
 Individual Batting.
 All pitchers, except New London's, look alike to the batters these days and the army Is well recruited when some horse hide smasher falls under the assault of the curvers. The real leader today Is Nixon of Waterbury. He was the first man to pass the twenty-five mark in safe hits and he is now headed for the fifty. With Fohl and smith of the same team he has formed hitting trust which will need President Wilson's attention if 1t is continued. The amalgamated so- ciety of beavers is about to lodge a protest. There are twenty-five in the honor list today. Some new arrivals were Ems of Bridgeport.
