good behavior of the ball player would
be recorded Ainsmith was visibly elated
over the fortunate teurn the case took
and thanked the court for the leniency
extended TO him.
The complaint In the case was based
on an alleged assault made by Ainsmith
and Engel on April IA on Douglas Ed
wards. motorman employed by the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. The testimony was to the effect
that the two ball players were passing
the car barn in Georgetown in Ain
smith s automobile, and narrowly es-
capped hitting Edwards. The testimony
was conflicting as to what the motor
man said to the occupants of the auto
mobile. but the latter claimed that he
applied a vile epithet to them. although
he denied 1t.
Knocked Down Twice.
There was not variance in the testi-
mony as to the encounter between Ain
smith and Edwards after the two ball
players left their automobile and en-
tered the car barn. Ainsmth admitted
knocking down twice, but contended
that the motorman attempted to strike
him with an iron switch bar. Edwards
appeared in court with swollen and
discolored eye as evidence of the af-
fray.
A motion for a new trial was filed
by ATTORNEY Minor. but 1t was not
Laskey's recommendation that Ain
smith be placed on probation.
In his affidavit in behalf Of proba
tion for Ainsmith, Manager Griffitl,
says that during the past three years
he has found Ainsmith of an easy.
going disposition. quiet and rather re-
served. and that he is easily managed
and controlled and has caused affiani
no difficulty or trouble whatsoever"
Ainsmith states in his affidavit that
he has never been arrested before, "ex.
cept during the past winter, when he
was held pending an examination with
respect to an accident which occurred
several months ago by being fun into

CAN THE SURPLUS OF
THE SWEET POTATO CROP
Attention Is Directed TO This Problem
BY Prof. SOule.

The canning of sweet potatoes Is
matter of great importance, ana on
tbis account considerable attention
has been directed to this problem by
the Georgia State College of Agrlcul-
ture. Two years ago an Instructor was
annointed in the Department OF Hor-
ticuIture in the person of Prof. Il. =.
blackburn. In addition to his teaching
work he undertook Investigations
with the canning of sweet potatoes IN
the hone of discovering a cheap ana
desirable method of preserving them.
IT is important to remember that the
potato should not be allowed to cool
from start to finish of the processing
The experiments indicate that sweet
notatoes may be canned successfully
in quite a number of different ways.
Among those which have given the
greatest degree of satisfaction are,
first the direct, open process when
requires about five hours; second, the
intermittent open process which takes
one hour a day for three days IN sue
cession; third, the use OF steam at
pressure of five pounds and requiring
two hours to complete the work.
fourth, steam under ten pounds pres
sure and requiring about seventy-hVe
minutes; and fifth, steam under fill
teen pounds pressure and requiring
about fifty minutes to complete the
work
The first two methods would, OF
course, be better adapted for use in
the farm home than the latter three
1t was found after many trials that
sugar syrup is of little value in the
canning of sweet potatoes. In other
words. it is best to pack them dry
It is advised in conclusion that
steam be used in the canning of sweet
| Dotatoes even in the home. A small
Gamer will cost about SIS. The pota-
toes may be successfully peeled by
| hand if cooked for fOrty-fye minutes.
They should be packed while hot and
the cans sealed. Tin is preferable to
glass for sweet potatoes. The pro
cessing should be done under ten
pounds pressure continued for seven
/ tv-fve minutes. The cans should be
/ cooled by filling the retort with cold
/ water before the cans have chance
/ to air-cool, or just as soon as the pro-
cessing period is over. and the steam
can then be allowed to escape from
/ the retOrt

MEMORIAL STONE TO BE
PLACED OVER LANIER GRAVE
Great Poets Last Resting Place Has
Never Been Marked.


The grave of Sidney Lanier, the
great American poet, who made his
home in Baltimore for so many years
and who was so intimately connected
with the beginning of the Johns Hop
kins University, is to be marked by
a memorial stone-the first mark to
be placed on it. The death OF the
poet was in 1891. Lanier is buried in
the lot of Mrs. Lawrence TurnbuI,
in Greenmont cemetery, and his
grave is barren of any stone to tell
who lies there, says the Baltimore
American.
The memorial, which is the per-
sonal mark of the poets widow for
his grave, is to be a great boulder
in it's natural outlines, with a small
tablet set in, showing in relief an
efigy of the rising sun and line be-
meath it from the poem Sunrise.
The boulder is nearly three feet IN
height and is of rose-tinted granite
with gray appearing here and there.
The work on this memorial is nearly
completed, and it is the expectation
of the Lanier family to place the
stone in Greenmount cemetery early
in October.
Plans for a public monument to
Lanier have been talked of Tor sew
eral years, and it is possible that
movement to erect one will be started
in the near future.

To Redeem Georgia by blotting out the

Cree has begun his work and pitched
his program for victory.
During May, June and July he held
conferences with the leading men in
thirty different associations and pro-
iected campaigns to enlist all the
churches in a campaign for State Mis-
sions. In August, September and Oc-
tober, he has planned to visit thirty
other associations in their annual SEES
sions to rally the Baptists to the task.
Sunday School Rally Day October 3rd
In addition to this a State Mission
Rally Day has been arranged for every
Baptist Sunday School in the State.
On this day, October the third, the
children will be enlisted in the work
of State Missions, and will receive an
educational and inspirational uplift
with a practical application to paying
off the Mission debt. This will be
red-letter Sunday in the 1915 calendar
of Georgia Baptists. The Sunday
Schools aim to break their record for
Sunday School attendance and to raise
at least 100000 on that day
Many Churches Are Doubling Up
In this hour of stress and strain the
churches are being asked to double up
in their offerings for State Missions.
