SELLS $500 WORTH
SWEET POTATOES
Terrell County Negro Farmer Pro-
duceS Enormous Yield ON Two
and a Half Acres.

Will Josey, an industrious negro
tenant on the farm of Mr.. Isaac Hay,
is not worrying as much about the
price of cotton as some CT the white
farmers in the county.
While Josey planted some cotton
and lost some money on this crop
like others, he paid some attention
to food crops, and besides raising
corn, fodder, hay, oats and other
grains he found time to plant two
and a half acres in sweet potatoes.
On this patch of tubers he raised $50
bushels, of which he reserved 90
bushels for his family and sold the
remaining 500 bushels in Dawson at
one dollar a bushel, receiving a gross
income of $500, sum equal to ten
bales of cotton at 10 cents a pound,
and the cost of production, gathering
and marketing potatoes is not near
as great as cotton.
What Josey has done is an evidence
of the possibilities of diversification,
and while everyone need not rase
sweet potatoes, there a~e other food
crops equally as profitable, and just
as easy to raise.

-r,rrr Of POLICE PEDDY GETS
.rrrR NEGROES SUSPECTED
OF SELLING WHISKEY.
THIRTEEN CAUGHT IN THE NET

MAJOR Bell Holds Matinee Two Days
In Superior Court Room, and Adj
imrns Until Thursday. Only Five
Gases Tried by Him.
Chief of Police Harris Peddy pull
Cd off a. big surprise Friday morning,
when he docketed cases against II
men and one woman on the charge
Of selling whiskey illegally.
Sometime ago the chief got IN
communication with a negro detect
i've named Carey Mobley, of Atlanta,
and made arrangements with him to
get I'D evidence against parties who
were selling whiskey in the city lin
its.
Chief of Police Peddy states that
when he first corresponded with Mob
lev he was under the impression that
he was a white detective, and that he
intended to use him on the white I'll
gers, but when he came to Dawson
and he saw he was a negro he decid-
ed to round up the tigers of the col
ored persuasion and fixed his plans
to this end.
1t was the plan for the detective
to buy whiskey from as many as pos
sible, and then a policeman disguised
as a negro would accompany him on
a certain night, when the detective
was to make purchases in the pres
ence of the policeman.
On Thursday night the detective,
accompanied by the cork-face police
man, drove to Maple street, between
Lee street and Fourth avenue, and
stopped at the home of Mamie
Bridges, who was to be the first vic
tim, and from whom the detective
claimed to have purchased whiskey a
few nights before. Mamie was call
ed to the door and she was asked to
sell them some whiskey, but the Wo-
man had got on to the negro detect
ives identity, through a visit to Eu-
faula, where she learned he was com
ing to Dawson, and refused to sell
him any more, telling him she was
on to him and he had better vamoose
the city if he valued his life very
highly. The detective replied, Ma
ME, you know l have bought whis-
key from you whereupon she re-
piled: Yes, you have, but you won't
get any more from dis niger"
The policeman knew that the
Bridges woman had spread the news
and that further visits were futile,
and changed his plans. The next
morning Chief Peddy began to round
up those the detective claimed to
have bought whiskey from, and ar
rested Wilson Jones, the colored I'M
dertaker, ]. S. Thomas, the leading
colored blacksmith, Claude Holland,
Henry Holland, John Gerry, Owen
Griffin, General Laing, Wilbur Will
lis, Ed Sans, Joe Simmons, James
Patterson, Willie Walker and Mamie
Bridges.
Mayor Bell convened his court Fri
day afternoon to try these cases, but
on account of the large number OF
prisoners and witnesses adjourned
until Saturday morning to meet in
the superior court room When the
mayors gavel sounded Saturday
morning his matinee looked like a
session of big court, and more than
a hundred spectators gathered to wit
ness the trials. The testimony OF the
witnesses and their cross-examina-
tons by attorneys furnished much
amusement for the spectators. The

BEST THEATRE.

One of the strop gest feature photo plays of recent times is the Famous Players Film company's four-part film version of the noted military play "The Commanding Officer" the drama that stirred the emotions of two con- tinents. This subject, with the popu- lar ingenue, Alice Dovey, as the cen tral character, is the chief attraction at the Best theatre or the Paramount program today.
 Produced in California, under the direction of Allan Dwan, the photo play is further enriched by broad sweeping backgrounds that are both charming and utterly appropriate to the action of the play.
 A counter-plot of overwhelming power adds to the interest of the sub ject, which should be as popular an offering at the Best theatre az the original play was at the foremost legitimate theatres of this country and Europe.

The instruction as to marine gardens, coral reefs, the action of the water on wrecked ships, the swimming methods of different kind of fish, the fighting tactics of sharks, etc., is conveyed, not in the scholastic dry-as-dust methods used in most schools, but in swift-actioned pictures that run the gamut of the emotions from amusement to the thrill of ter TOT. No pictures like these have ever before been taken. They have arous- ed a veritable sensation in educational and scientific circles. Show runs con- tinuous from 9 a. m. to Il p. m.
