CONNIE MACK BUYS
FORMER GEORGIA STATE
STARS FOR ATHLETICS

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 17.-Ira
Thomas scouting for the Athletics,
drifted into town last week pursuing a
sure tip, and after locking the Sea
Gulls over in action, annexed the SER
vices of Outfelder Bankston and Pitch
er Fillingen to help Connie Mack
win the 1916 pennant.
Bankston is husky youngster that
Charleston purchased from the Cordele
Georgia State League club. Last
season he batted .359 in 401 times
at the bat, incidentally, acquiring
fourteen two-base hits, fourteen three
base hits and thirty-one home runs. OF
course the official averages for this
year are not ready yet, but it is known
that re is batting over the coveted 300
mark.
Fillingem is the pitcher known to
fame for winning the first ten games
rat he pitchedd this season. In the
last game that he pitched to this writ
ing he allowed Macon two hits, dispos-
ing of thirteen batters by the strike
out route.
Thomas is confident of Bankstpn
and Fillingem making good in the big
| show. The price for whichh they We're
sold has not been given out.

*Number of new submarines I'M
known.
The area of the countries ranged
against Germany, exclusive of Italy,
he finds to be 100000 square kilo-
meters, with an aggregate population
of S0O,00O,O0O. Germany and her al
lies on the other hand, have a terri
tory of 100000 square kilometers,
and a population of 150,0OO,OOO per
sons.
The daily cost of the war to the ten
nations now taking part he places to
be 169,00O,OO0 marks ($42,250,OOO) and
he estimates that up to the first of
April the total cost of the war was
40,000,0OO,0O0 marks, or approximately
$lO,OO0,000,000. Italy again excepted,
he placed the annual cost of such
war at $15,000,0O0,0O
1t would take 60,OOO,O0O of the huge
100O-mark bank notes to pay this cost,
and these notes, stacked up one on
top of the other, would make a pile
10000 feet, almost four miles, in
height. In gold this same sum would
weigh 24,0OO,O0O Kilograms (59,912,SO0
pounds) whereas the entire gold pro-
duction of the whole world during the
past 500 years has amounted to but
100000 Kilograms.
The daily war costs for the German
empire he places at 100000 marks
($8,250,000) and four days of this con-
f1ict cost as much as the whole Franco
Prussian war of 1901. The cost to
England, exclusive of the colonies, is
about the same, and three months OF
this war cost Great Britain as much a
the Boer war lasting two years and
seven months. France spends little
more daily.

CAIRO July 1.-THE excessive
heat at Kartoum, where daily max

ed for some weeks, caused directly
the death of some members of the City
of London regiment stationed there.
Now, periodic dust storms rage in the
Soudan to add to the miseries. When
the storm is in full blast, neither man
nor beast can stand up against it. 1t

unless paid in advance. Holt left in
a rage.
Several days later the Aetna Com
pany received a money order for
$3.50 sent by Holt from Central Park,
L. and asking for the immediate
shipment of the explosive caps They
were shipped by express in box on
cune "a, and arrived at the Central
Park station on June 20. That same
evening, at o'clock, two more boxes
each containing 100 sticks of dyna-
mite, arrived at the station. Three of
these sticks were used by Holt in the
capitol explosion, three were found in
his possession at Glen Cove, where he
shot j. P Morgan and 134 were found
by the New York police in the livery
stable in West Thirty eighth street.
Holt told officials of the Mineola Jail
tt at he had used up four sticks in
various experiments. This left fifty
SIX sticks of dynamite which Holt ac-
counted for by the statement that he
had shipped it aboard a liner.

Frank Holt, the man who blew up
a room in the capitol at Washington
and shot ]. P. Morgan, had sufficient
dynamite to make bombs for the
damage of many big public buildings,
throughout the country. The police
of New York found a trunk at
stable and storage warehouse four
days after he had made the attempt
on the life of the banker. 1t was
shipped by Holt under the name Of
F. H Henderson from Central Park,
small village, six miles from Glen
Cove, where Mr.. Morgan lived, to the
stable.
But it held only seventy pounds Of
the 100 pounds of explosive known to
have been purchased by Holt Fifty
pounds of dynamite are still missing.
The trunkful Of materials was one
of the largest hauls of the kind ever
made by the police. More than 125
pounds of explosive were seized,
seventy pounds of which were in
dynamite alone.
The old dark brown trunk contain
ed the following:
One hundred and thirty-four sticks
of dynamite, so per cent. strength,
three large tin cans for packing the
bombs, two boxes of electric fuses,
one of blasting caps, package of
chemical, the nature of which is I'M
known; package of sulphur, a coil
of fuse, package of sal ammonia,
dry battery, boxes of illuminate of
mercury and victas, a bottle of muri-
attic acid, soldering outfit and tia
cutter, and other small articles used
in the manufacture of bombs and in
handling high explosives
The discovery of the trunk followed
the information that Holt for several
weeks before the capitol explosion
and the Morgan shooting had oc-
cupied a bungalow On the outskirts
of Central Park, little village near
Syosset, and about six miles from
Glen Cove, L. l., where he practised
target shooting and experimental II
bomb making. He lived here under
the pseudonym of Totem
In the bungalow were found thou
sands of burnt matches, several acid
eaten pencils, a tablecloth in which
several holes had been eaten by acid
many fuses and empty chemical bot
ties. Neighbors told how Holt, posing
as an invalid, had large bonfres IA
his back yard every night, and on
several occasions they noticed him
practising with revolvers.
Holt left the bungalow on the
morning of Friday, July 2, expressing
trunk which weighed 14O pounds,
to the Pennsylvania Station in New
York City. Apparently the explosives
! found Tuesday were in that trunk.
The night after Holt left the Long
Island village the capitol was dyna-
mited.
Detectives learned that Holt. on
June 81, purchased 100 Illuminating
caps, 100 feet of fuse, and 100 electri-
cal explosive caps from the Aetna Ex-
plosive Company, 2 Rector street
Holt tried to have the order CHARGE
to him, hut the salespeople, not know.

How the Small Farmer May
Succeed Despite Low-Priced Cotton
Pres Andrew NJ -ouIe Georgia State College of Agriculture

Suppose a farmer has % acres of
land fairly fertile On which he has
been growing cotton. Since cotton
is Improbable what can he do?
First of all, he should minimize cot
ton production and not attempt to
devote more than five acres to this
crop in 1915. At least eight acres of
the land now in cotton should be seed
ed to cereals; three acres should be
used where the soil is suited to this
crop, for wheat and five acres for
oats. He should prepare an acre of
land as carefully as possible with the
Idea OF planting Irish potatoes as
early in the spring as it is practical
bic. When the Irish potato crop is
harvested the land should be devoted
TO sweet potatoes. He should set
aside five acres to be planted to graz
ing crops to be harvested by hogs.
He should certainly devote half
acre to a garden for his family and
to the production of such truck as
will sell most readily in the local
markets. One-half acre of land should
be devoted to the growth of variety
OF crops suited to poultry. Eight
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1915-01-15

acres should be devoted to corn, with
velvet beans, peanuts or cowpeas in
the middles. AS soon as the oats and
wheat are ripe, the land should be
prepared thoroughly and sown to
peas or peas and millet for hay.
The cotton land should produce five
bales; the corn should yield at the
rate of IS bushels, making a total of
$50 bushels for the eight acres, The
three acres Of wheat should yield so
bushels Of threshed grain; the five
acres of oats, 40 bushels per acre, or
200 bushels, all told. The Irish pota.
toes should yield 100 bushels and the
sweet potatoes 100 bushels. The gar
den should provide an abundance of
food for the family and leave a con-
siderable surplus for sale.
Allowing liberal rental and for
taxes and fertilizers, the farmer
should have $500 at the end of the
year to pay for his labor and that
Of his family. In addition, he has
lived off the land and lived well. He
also has for the enrichment and main
tenance of the productive power of his
soil an accumulation Of 10 to rs tons
of yard manure.

FROM YOUR GARDEN
Big Saving to Farmer and City Man
Is Possible Through Home
Grown Vegetables

Grown Vegetables
Atlanta, Ga.-CSpecial.)- 1.-The farm.
er who makes and keeps going this
year real home garden, will save
fully one-half the money he has peen
in the habit of paying the supply mer-
chant for his food supplies. The man
with back yard city lot, turned into
garden, can save on his living ex-
penses in the same proportion.
The man in the city has been hit
by the war just as hard as the man
in the country, and here in Atlanta the
Agricultural Committee Of the Atlanta
Chamber OF Commerce, Of which H. G.
Hastings is chairman, is actively en-
couraging the back yard city garden
as one Of the most, effective steps in
solving the problem Of living One At.
lantan made $3.50 worth of vegetables
last year on less than one-sixteenth Of
an acre. Others have been encourag-
ed to try it, and this spring will see
Atlanta full of home gardens.
"The farmers of the South, in my
opinion" Mr.. Hastings said, "have
well learned the lesson of the cotton
crisis, and l believe they are going to
keep it learned They realize now as
hCFCh bCLOl IlldI Lu6y InUSL BldkG
cotton their servant instead Of their
master, and making food crops is the
only way to do it.
'"The first big step toward the solu-
ton Of this problem is the home gar
den-an all-the-year-round garden
one that is kept busy growing food for
the table every month in the year. A
garden like this means a saving Of
half the living expense Of any family;
it is worth more as a money saver
than any five acres Of cotton ever
grown.
Getty families pay fancy prices for
vegetables and other food products
which the farmer can have on his ia
BILE without the expenditure of dol
lar, and this would mean to the farm
ers Of the South an aggregate saving
of millions of dollars they are now
paying out annually for food supplies,
that might be turned into bank ac-
counts"
