coarse grains today. The gov
ernment seizure of wheat caused
a panic among the spectators
who had untitled orders.
Under the government orders
all boats partially or fully loaded
for the United States will be al
lowed to continue to their desti-

1t is officially stated here that
the Canadian Government seized

Saturday for Italy The italian
government purchased the grain

That farmers of this vicinity
will eventually engage more ex-
tensively in the dairy business is
quite certain Such has been the
history of the older sections of the
state. 1t has been impossible in
the past to make farming pay by
growing wheat, due to our rich
soil and fair prices. But no matter
how rich the soil, and how appar-
emily inexhaustible it may seem,
the time will come that it will not
prove profitable to continue to
grow small grain without a system
iof crop rotation and certain
amount of crop fertilizer. Stock
on the farm provides the fertilizer
and this is why that the older sec
tions of the state devote so much
attention to the diary business
and are making their farms pay
| big dividends. 1t has been sug
gested that a co operative cream
cry in Browns Valley would prov,
the most satisfactory. Perhaps i
would, but no creamery can sue

farmers prepare to patronize it,

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

The Circuit Court convened
last Tuesday. Judge Sherwood,
of Clark, and Court Reporter
Hopkins, of Watertown, came up
and will be here this week while
Judge Bouck is holding Court
at Aberdeen.
The court calendar this term
is the largest in the history of
the county. 1T contains twelve
applications for naturalization,
forty eight criminal cases, and
seventy seven civil cases, besides
IA lot of motions and other appli-
cations for the Court to dispose
Of
The first business of the Court
was the call of the criminal cal
endar, and upon the first call
two cases were dismissed on
motion of Mr.. Jorgenson, the
States Attorney, six cases pas
sed, twenty eight marked for
trial. and twelve continued over
the term. ..
The next business of the Court
was to hear the various reasons
that the jurors had to present
why they should be excused from
serving on the jury. Six men
succeeded in presenting reasons
which the Court considered Su-
tficent to excuse them from serv-
ing on the jury. We might re-
mark THAI after hearing the vari-
Gus reasons presented and the
Courts opinion thereon we came
to the conclusion that farmer
with a wife and four small child
rem and no one else to take care
of his stock and do the work on
his farm was more entitled to be
excused than man who had
collections to make.
| The next business taken up
was the most important business
that any Court can transact,
namely, the making of United
States citizens. Out of the twelve
applications for naturalization
two were denied admission, three
were continued, six admitted to
citizenship and one withdrawn.
The next business of the
Court was the arraignment Of
prisoners confined in the County
Jail and some of those who were
out on bail. In other words, it
was the reading of the charge
against them by the States Atty
Most of these were for the
illegal sa e f Intoxicating
liquors. while others were of
such nature that we do not be-
lieve our readers would like to
have their children advised there
Of, hence we made no note OF
these charges.
The next business to come be-
fore the Conrt was various mo-
tions and applications made by
the attorneys in different cases,
whice always takes up "a lot of
time, but is not of any interest
to the general public only in SO
far as they as tax payers have to
bear the expense thereof.

to have secured a conviction in
such a case as automobiles were
not generally looked upon with
favor, but now almost everybody
except newspaper men own auto
mobiles and they are really con-
sidered property.
Following the above case jury
was drawn to try the case of
State VS.. Bernard Prior, who
stands charged with the crime of
grand larceny. This case is
still on as we go to press, hence
we cannot inform you what the
verdict will be, and we do not
like to guess on the result of a
lawsuit much less bet any money
thereon. However we know this
ahat it costs all who participate
therein time and money and the
tax payer who stays at home and
attends to his own business also
pays his share thereof.

your papers only short wLile-that

have always been q great admirer of
you, and your papers.
There are two things that stand
out prominently in my life, one of
which, | am very proud, the other is
to my lasting shame. The fact that
| am proud Of is that the first vote
/ cast after reaching my majority
was for ThOs. e. Watson. The one
that l remember with shame is the
last National vote cast by me in the
State of Georgia was for Oscar w.

does not like to hear me preach be-
cause I say things against the Ro-

for the noble efforts you are making
for the depressed, doWntrodden hui
mainly. When l hear such sle1ge-
hammer blows Us you give Priest
Hardeman and ether such dOminants
and such coincidonts as the Black
murder, I feel like that our blessed
Lord stands up and looks on the
scene with great pity and mercy, as
he did when Stephen was stoned to
death. I am so thankful for a man
that's not only willing to live for
his cause, out willing to die for it.
Well, it seems from reading the
Atlanta Constitution that Governor
Slaton and Governor-elect Harris are
Franks symp2thizers. I wonder
what they would think if all the peo-
pie that believe in lew and justice
being melted out to ell men alike
should write them letters. But this
class of people is not writing and
pleading with our officers i'll the hope
that they might confuse their minds
and arouse their symp2 thy, but are
living on that strong hope and belief
that that small still voice which
speaks to men and leads hen into
all truth will bring to bear opon our
officials to the consumption of all
other powers. Let God be true, and

NEGRO MURDERER RECON-
MENDED TO MERCY.

MENDED III MERC4.
Dear Sir: a short time ago John
Pennington, prominent white farm
CT, Of this county, was murdered in
his house, sometime during the
might An examination of the prem
Uses showed clearly that the motive
OF the murderer was robbery. Two
negroes were arrested on suspicion,
one Of them, Adolph Hicks, admit
ted his guilt, while in the Bibb coun-
t. jail, where he had been confined
for safe keeping. There was some
feeling against the culprits through
out the country, and especially in
the community where the crime was
committed. But there seemed to be
at the same time, spirit Of will
lingness to allow the law to take it's
course; every man expressing mis- be-
lief that in view of the fact that
Wilkinson County has in past years,
had some very dirty crimes of like
character, and has had the courts al
low the scales of justice tempered
with, that surely justice would be
INDICATED, and mercy would not
again be abused, while the hard
working farmer went home to
await news OF the next foul assassin
alton. But that was the very thing
that was handed to those parties who
compose the commonwealth of this
county. Nobody expected the hang
ing of the negroes to bring Lack
MI. Pennington. No upright and in
telligent man wanted to hang Hicks,
because of an Unsuitable thirst for
blood; but every man who can read,
knows that we have a law that is
supposed to command the observe
ton of the right, and prohibit the
commission of the wrong, and by
Furnishing the guilty to prevent
crime.
Every man in Bloodworth district
stands shocked at the finding of that
court, and no one can blame him
if he holds a contempt for a court,
who although, empowered and up
held by tn estrong arm Of the law,
yet offers no protection, unwilling
to set an example at the proper time
and place, for some reason. God
only knows what. There are num-
Der of men in this vicinity, who
would like to know why Hicks got
a life sentence: Some of them seem
to believe that the district attorney
was derilict of duty. Some of them
sem to think that the court was not
explicit, concerning the jury's pow
er. Whatever the fault may be, one
thing is certain, when red handed
criminals are shown mercy, where
none is due, crime will increase,
when the State seeks to blot out mob
law, and Northern papers seek to
knock.
Those who want to set examples
should do so, in a righteous
way. I think when the evil is re-
moved, remedial steps are dead
easy. There are q number of read
ers who would be glad if you would
publish the courts charge, and also
the evidence in this case. 1t was
tried at Irwinton, 7th inst.
Thanking you in advance for your
kindness, Respectfully,
Ga. JOHN w. RAMAGE.

CARPENTERS MAY VOTE On
PEACE PLAN

day that the district council of car
penters will agree to submit the peace
offering of the contractors to the men
for vote The district council meets
tomorrow night. Quick action on a
vote is expected.
= Most carpenters seem of the opi11-
ion that the men will reject the offer,
which is identical to that refused by
the district council before the strike
was called The contractors simply
decided to renew its previous offer of
an increase of 215 cents an hour for
the last half of a 3-year contract,
providing the men would work the
first Is months at no increase in the
present rate of IS cents an hour.
The carpenters have asked an i'm
mediate increase to 70 cents, to be
followed by an increase in two years |
to rs cents.
Regardless of whether the offer of |
the Carpenter Contractors assn is |
accepted or rejected, it is of value in |
showing that the association has con-
descended to come down off it's high |
horse. A week ago it would have be-
come indignant if the suggestion of |
such a cofpromise had been made to |
it. Mayor Thompson is getting
credit for inducing the contractors to |
renew their offer.
