TAXI LOADED WITH
WHISKY CAPTURED

Macon, Ga, October 14.-De-
tective Rachels and Newberry
held up a taxi cab at 3:45 this
morning and secured $50 pints of
whisky that had been brought in
to Macon from jacksonville. The
two white men who were in the
cab made a daring leap from the
cab and escaped up a dark alley.
The officers, however, know
who they are and as soon as they
can be found will be promptly
locked up. The city authorities
were given tip yesterday that
two we'll known men had gone to
Jacksonville for the purpose OF
bringing in lot Of whisky for H.
legal sale, and the two detectives
were detailed to watch out for
them on their arrival.
Instead of leaving the train at
Sotfiee as most of the tiger men
DO, they came right into the
Union station. Each man had
two suit cases apiece. They hail
ed a taxi and started up Plum
street with their supply of whisky.

better ventilation, and confines
such rotting as may start to rel
atlvely restricted space. In some
sections the potatoes are stored
in hampers in which they are to
be marketed, being removed lust
before shipments and resorted.
Disinfecting Storage Receptables
Where storage is to be in bins
or other receptacles these should
It they have been used before, be
thoroughly disinfected by spray
ing with solutions of formalin or
copper sulphate. The former
should be used in the proportion
of | pint to so gallons of water.
Tic copper sulphate should be
used at the rate of l pound to q.
gallons of water. With either so
luton a second spraying should
be given after "a hours.
Proper Storage Temperatures
When first placed in the stor-
age house sweet potatoes should
be cured by being kept, by the use
OF fire, In temperature of from
80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This
curing temperature should be
maintained for from 10 days to
: weeks and should then be grad
ually reduced to about S. degrees
and kept at as near this point as
possible. After this, the ventila-
tors should be left open during
the day in clear, warm weather
and kept closed during the nights
and IN damp or rainy weather.
When the temperature in the
house goes below so degrees Far

to raise the temperature to the de-
sired point, since once the pota-
toes have become thoroughly
chilled their quality is impaired
and they are more susceptible to
decay. In order to maintain the
proper temperatures, farmers
should install accurate thernome-
tiers in their storage houses.

HARVESTING AND STOR-
ING SWEET POTATOES

W doillliS lOll, II. ~, oClODCl IT.
Sweet potatoes must be har-
vested and stored with the ut
most care, say specialists of the
Y. S. Department of Agriculture,
if their production is to prove
profitable. Any bruising of the
roots, either in the field or in stor-
age will greatly increase the per
centage of loss. In storage the
temperature at VIII Oh the pota-
toes are kept is also an import
ant factor in determining their
keeping qualities.
Methods Recommended
/ Throughout most of the sweet
potato producing region the har-
vest will take place within the
next six weeks or two months
! Growers should be sure before
digging that the roots are ma
ture and they should select time
when the ground is dry and the
day bright. If frost nips the
plants, the roots should be dug
within the next few days and, if
this is impossible. the dead plants
should be cut off at the ground
with a hoe SO that in rotting they
will not carry the decay to the
roots.
Care should be taken in plow-
ing out the potatoes to avoid all
bruising by contract between the
implements used and the roots.
The soil should then be scratch
ed away from the potatoes and
they should be left exposed for
several hours to dry. Picking
should be in padded boxes, bas-
kets, or crates. The roots should
be carefully placed, not thrown
into the picking receptables. Al
though sweet potatoes do not
have the appearance of being cas-
lily injured, they require, in fact,
as careful handling as oranges or
apples.
! Handling should be minimized
to as great an extent as possible.
This makes desirable rough
sorting in the field by placing the
largest potatoes in one picking
contalner, the smallest in anoth-
er, and the bruised roots in a
third. III no case should sacks
be used either as temporary con-
talners or for marketing purposes.
| Diseased potatoes should be plac-
ed in none of the assortments
! Such roots should not be left per-
manently in the field, however. to
contaminate the soil, but should
be gathered and fed to pigs.
Proper Storage Facilities
Proper storage facilities are
valuable to the grower in that
they do away with the necessity
OF selling the crop in digging.
greatly lessen the heavy losses
sustained when the primitive
storage method of burying the
potatoes is employed, and per-
NIT holding for good prices in
winter of spring. A special stor-
age house, such as many southern
farmers have built, is advocated
by the Department specialists.
Such structure with capacity
of 1000 to 1000 bushels can be
built at a cost of from 500 to
$500, depending on the availabi-
| lily of lumber and other material.
The storage house should have
double walls to insulate against
heat and cold and false floor to
facilitate ventilation. A stove
should be installed for supply
ing artificial heat. If bins are
used, they should have Slated
sides. further to facilitate a cir
culation of air.
Sweet potatoes may be salts
factorily stored in bins, but where
economically practicable it is adj
visable to store i'll crates or ham
pers, since such practive reduc-

School News
STEWART F. GELDERS, EDnoe

Fitzgerald was defeated in the
game against the Second District
Aggies by the count OF 9 to .. AS
this was the first game reason
ably large number attended the
game. The Fitzgerald boys play
ed we'll but they went into the
fray with the intention of holding
the other team to a 6 to 0 score.
Therefore they succeeded in do
ing it and lost the game as they
expected. In both of the games
this year the team has been proud
of having held the opposing team
to close score. But close scores
don't often soften the fact that
our average is exactly zero. How
about playing for something bet
ter than a close score? This is
Just a friendly hint as we believe
the boys have started the season
with the wrong idea as to what
really constitutes victory.
Mr.. ]. T. Pittman addressed the
school Friday morning. Mr.. Pitt
man is the farm demonstration of
Ben Hill county. His work is to
show the farmers in his territory
better ways to grow crops and
better crops to grow than what
they are now growing. He is a
teacher of grown-ups. Mr.. Pitt
mans general purpose for his Wis
it was to get acquainted with
the High School and give them a
chance to get acquainted with his
work. As result he made no
special point in his talk, just
speaking on general conversation
al lines. However, he did ask that
every one in High School who
had any kind OF a thing to exhibit
would put it in the County Farm
Exhibit to be held Wednesday.
This will be Our county fair for
the year and we in the town
should help those in the country
TO make it good one. Mr.. Pitt
man intends to take this exhibit
to the Valdosta Fair Georgia
Florida) this fall. Mr.. Pittman's
county exhibit took second prize
at this fair last year. He was in
Decatur county last year and he
wants to win a first prize for Ben
Hill this year. This prize is GER
tainly accompanied by more hon
or than any ball game and we
should be more proud of this kind
of prize as it shows the true
worth OF the school, city, and
county as a whole, instead of the
brains and strength of limited
number of the boys of the schools.
Now that a new building is be-
ing built at the second ward they
win of course plant trees there.
Many new trees have to be plant
cd at the Third Ward because the
fire killed many. We would like
10 suggest that umbrella trees
and oaks be planted alternately.
When the trees are young they
are always planted closer to-
gether than will be necessary
when they are full grown. If a
quick-growing shade tree is
planted in alternates with the
slower maturing but more perma-
nent oak the school will enjoy
shade after the S-st FIVE years in
stead of having to wait twenty
five. By the time the oaks get
big enough to be of any real
beauty of the umbrellas will have
died of old age. having served
their purpose. Thus nature will
do all the thinning out necessary.
The parent-teachers will help
those who help themselves. Let

us get on the band wagon. If
we work hard enough we will
have the piano, tennis court and
all other incidentials to we'll
rounded school life, and have
them with very little Individual
effort or hardship.
If the students and parent
teachers get the "luxries" for the
school it is to be hoped that the
city will furnish the necessities in
the form of a little plumbing
work on the fountains. We are
very thankful for the chance to
drink from the fount of knowl-
edge with free text books but we
would like to drink more material
things, too.
The months of December, IAN
uary, February and March are
not very favorable to outdoor
sports SO during that time the
school ought to get down to hard
work on indoor sports, such as
debating, declaiming, reciting,
writing, etc, in preparation for
those all important District and
State Meets. We have been de-
MED the first place long enough.
Americus' turn to win was last
year and she lost it. Next year
it is our turn again. We may
trust our faculty to take enough
interest to get us square deal
in the matter OF judges, but it is
up to us absolutely to be prepared
to win the events. Let's go, Fitz-
Hi.
In the High School Quarterly
published this month some chan
ges in the rules were announced.
The pole vault will be added this
year to the events and six boys
will be the limit for the track
teams, The subjects for the es-
say will be taken from Shakes
peare's Julius Caesar" or Car
lyle's Essay on Burns" Three
subjects from one of these two
books will be chosen, choice of
the three being left to the writer.
The subject for the state and dis
trict debates is concerning bill
introduced in the legislature pro-
viding for a tax of two to five
mills to be levied on all taxable
property in the state and distri-
buted among the counties in ra-
ito to the school population. This
subject, which at first glance
seems complicated is really much
simpler than the one we had to
work on last year. This year
there will be free for all race
for the debating team. No one
has sure thing and there are
four positions on the team. New
material altogether will have to
be selected. Every boy in school
who has either ability or School
Spirit, preferably both, should
try out for the debating team

event of the year.
