America that the expected crops can

off from foreign supplies they have made
great efforts to grow foodstuirs adequate
for their needs, but despite increased
diligence, handicapped as they are BY
the necessities Of war, they have mad
but moderate success. A report from
German sources admits a heavy falling
off in the home consumption OF potash
for fertilizer during the past year. This
telltale fact indicates what difficulties
have been encountered in the attempt
to swell the yield at time when men
and transportation were otherwise en-
ployed. Facing scanty or barely suiii-

Dear Sir: AS [ allowed your rep
resentative in my town some time
ago to dupe me into giving him 81 OF

Ruralist for three years, after he
assured me that you had repented the
act of defending the Brutal act of
Leo Frank, l submitted and sub
scribed for the paper, but have since
learned by reading your article to
Mrs. Williams Of Texas, that your re-
pentence is only skin deep and you
at heart are still fighting the battles
of as cOld-bIoOded rapest and
murderer as ever trod American soil.
| will now ask you to discontinue the
paper as | had rather present you
with $1.00 than patroniZe paper
that will join the Jew-bOught press
in trying to boycott our own precious
state for defending the virtue Of our
womanhood against the beastly lust
Of a savage beast. SO please don't
send me another copy of the Ruralist,
as we people Of South Georgia are
defenders Of the virtues Of the grave
of Mary Phagan and of all papers
that are fighting for her cause and
are ready to join in boycotting any
paper that loves the Jews money
better than they love the virtues Of
the womanhood Of their own state.

l too, (his SOM would like very
much to know for he is still in

thank you very much for any infor
nation in regard to pardon for my
father if one has been granted.
Peyton goes further and says that
Holton killed his son in cold blood.
That being the case, there is another
man who has no regard for virtue at
all. This man Peyton did willfully
and without cause insult my mother
and threaten my father life.
Now if that is cold blooded muir
der, there is not man in the State
of Georgia, that is a man, but what
would commit a cold blooded crime.
If you want any evidence in regard
to this case, call on the law firm of

you can get same.
Thanking you for any information
you can give.

the fight against abortion in a meet
ing of the City club social evil COM
mittee. Facts on conditions growing
steadily worse were discussed and a
remedy in the form of publicity which
would bring better understanding
of the evil was advocated.
Married women outnumber single
four to one, according to a statement
of DR.. Ella " Davis, member of the
committee. 1t is their money which,
in many cases, causes a poor physi-
clan to perform an abortion.
The health committee of the city
council met and appointed subcom-
mittee to investigate the evil. Pub
lie hearings coupled with a secret
quiz aimed at physicians who per-
form abortions will be the action of
the body. Publicity again was advo-
waited as remedy.

GLOOM IN PHILADELPHIA.
Fans Believed Alexander Would
Win All His Games.

PHILADELPHIA. October IA big.
black cloud of gloom settled down
upon the thousands of fans gathered
around scoreboards in all sections of
the city yesterday when Hooper raced
home with the run that gave the Bos-
ton Americans the third game of the
world series For a moment the
throngs stood as il transfxed. and then
began to wend their way homeward in
silence. apparently taking the defeat
of their idol. the mighty" Alexander
more to heart than the loss of the
game. Supporters of the Phillies had
held that the big Nebraskan would be
almost invincible against the Red Sox,
and figured that he would win all his
games.
Local fans, despite the fact that the
favor of the Bostonians. are still opti-
mistic of the final result. They point
with pride to the showing made by the
National League champions In all de-
partments of the game except hitting.
and place their confidence in either
Chalmers or Rixey to hold the hard
hitting Red Sox in check today At
VIII md their batting eye and even up
the series.
Several wagers were made here last
night at even money on the outcome
OF today's game, but there was little
Philadelphia money in sight on the nm
al result Notwithstanding the heavy
odds offered.
