While HAULING
SONS MONUMENT
ACCIDENT An UNUSUAL one
Judge E.B. Barrow Of SCbIGy
Meets Death

1t was the irony of fate that Judge
E. B. Barrow, of the court of ordinary
of schley county, should be killed yes
terday while hauling a marble monu-
ment which he was about to place over
the grave of his son in the Lacrosse
cemetery. News of the tragic death of
Judge Barrow reached Americus yes
terday afternoon, and was heard with
sincere regret, as he was a man highly
esteemed. 1t seems that Judge Bar
row had gone to Lacrosse station, 7
miles from Americus, to haul the mon
ument from the railway depot, where
it had recently been delivered, to the
cemetery. Upon leaving the place his
team took fright and ran away, upset
ting the wagon. The heavy marble
monument fell on Judge Barrow, kill
ing him instantly.

be $1,75OOOO,OOOOo more than
it is today, to say nothing of the in
terest on the annual amounts thus
spent. Besides, today financial disas-
ter threatens US because we have no
market for our cotton, while we
should have for sale meat, hay, beef
cattle, etc., all of which now command
high prices. The use of our fertile
lands has been both erroneous and
short-sighted.
Do you know that Georgia spends

The appearance of two German avia-
tors was the first intimation that the
German who had been repulsed on the
previous evening intended to renew
the attack. Flying low, the German
aviators surveyed the position and
then returned to report. Soon after
wards the German infantry, supported
by machine guns and artillery, opened
a fierce attack. The Belgians were
outnumbered but put up a desperate
resistance. The troops on both sides
fought like demons and the battle soon
became a veritable butchery. Two Bel
gian regiments which had already dis
tinguished themselves in the forts at
Liege, held the invaders n~check for
two hours. Both sides were losing
heavily when the retreat was sounded
Major Gilsonal took charge of the Bel
gian rear guard, which fought so
stubbornly that only seven out of his
force of 2SS men returned.

We stated yesterday that the local
banks in the cotton growing states are
willing to cooperate with the farm
ers and merchants in perfecting ar,
rangements to hold the present cotton
crop for reasonable prices, and men,
toned that such cooperation is de-
pendent on the reduction of the acre
age of cotton to be planted next year.
Efforts to make cooperative ar
rangements to enable farmers to hold
their cotton for at least twelve months
are being made everywhere and the
local bankers say this can be done,
provided the acreage for the crop for
1915 is reduced by at least one-half, so
as to avoid surplus one year hence.
The reduction must be made.
We think it important for farmers,
bankers and merchants and every
one to begin at once to do everything
possible to make this cooperation plan
a success, so we may bring prosperity
out of adversely.
If the cotton crop is to be reduced
by one-half it does not mean that the
acreage heretofore planted in cotton
should lie idle, but it should be planted
in grains and crops that produce feed
stuff for growing and fattening cattle
and hogs. Every farmer should plant
small acreage at least in alfalfa for
the experiments in this state show that
it can be successfully grown here and
is very profitable crop.
Hogs should be raised and sent to
the market when large enough and in

of the year. In this way one can save
feed and put his money to work again.
Every family should have a good
milch COW, as this will do much to-
ward supplying the necessities of life.
Fall and winter gardens should be
planted. Raise everything that we
eat.
Statistics show that the people of
Georgia send ont of -the-state annually
about $175, 5,OOO,00O.OO for food products
and feedstuffs that can be grown pros
itably on our farms. Look at those
figures again, and let the fact soak in.

Either Fought or, Pending

LONDON, Aug. 20.-(Special. 1.-The
almost complete absence of news from
the theater of war today is the best
evidence that big events are in prog
ress, which will test the real calibre
of the battalions engaged in new
Waterloo" or new Sedan" That the
German advance is being pushed with
vigor and determination can be safely
asserted, judging from the intelligence
permitted to the outside world. On
both sides of the Meuse the Germans
are crowding southwark toward the
entrenched French army waiting to
stem their progress toward Sedan and
Paris.
The invaders already have reached :
line between Dinant and Naufchateu,
the latter point being less than 25
miles from Sedan as the crow flies. To
the northward their advance troops
have reached the River Dyle, near
Malines, almost midway between Brus-
sells and Antwerp.
Before this northward rush the Bel
gian forces are retiring on Antwerp.
In Brussels they call this strategic
retreat Whether the movement is
stragetic or forced, the Germans have
gained much ground in the direction
of Brussels. ...-

Reuben was thinking of his mother
at just that moment. He had swung
away down the road, stout stock
over his shoulder, bearing bundle
on its end He felt and acted like
the conventional outcast. He whis-
tied cheerily as he strobe beyond the
limits of the farm. A certain dreari-
ness came over him, however, as he
traversed the miles and rested out
side of a wayside inn about dusk.
Reuben had no definite plans as
to the future. One point, however,
was foremost in his mind. He would
not get far away from nature. He
loved the woods, the hills, the farm.
The next day saw him out of the line
of regular travel, in district where
farms were few.
Early the following morning Reu-

group of farm buildings.

He came to the farm, a big one, an
hour later. 1t was to see three men,
two women and some children
grouped together about pit. There
was discussion and commotion. All
were excited except a girl who stood
interestedly watching what was go
ing on. Reuben thought she was
the fairest creature he had ever met.

calculated the old man of the group,
observing Reuben.

the wolves, haul him up and dispatch

explained the old farmer, ''for the
smell of blood will keep other wolves
away from the trap"
"And you want to get rid of
them?" queried Reuben, lightly.
Got to-some way"
Reuben glanced about him till he
located a heavy wagon spoke near
by. He threw off his coat and
grasped the formidable cudgel firmly.
Stand aside" he ordered
brusquely.
The old farmer looked shocked.
His pretty daughter, Amy, caught
her breath with a quick thrill Down
into the pit landed Reuben.

four times. His Drawn arm swung
like fail. With cracked skulls the
savage beasts lay painting out their
last breath.
Lower a rope and haul them up

farmer, clamped his shoulder as he
in turn was drawn to the surface.
