fine RAINS FELL
ALL over CRISP
FARMERS BUSY WITH POTATO
CROP AND OTHER WORK OF
TRANSPLANTlNG.

Setting out potato plants is the or
der of the day among the farmers of
Crisp county, and many of the city
folks who know how to appreciate a
good garden and juicy yams. There's
plenty of moisture in old mother earth
in these parts just now and it is the
opportune time to put out potato
plants.
One of the most general rains that
has fallen in this section for the past
several weeks pretty well covered
Crisp county Tuesday. In the early
morning a heavy rain fell in the cas-
tern and southeastern parts of the
county, and about noon hour a rain
fell which took in most of the county
in its scope. Most of the farmers
needed and welcomed the rains with
rejoicing.

RIGHT TO DESTROY
LIQUOR is UPHELD
JUDGE HAMMOND, OF AUGUSTA,
SAYS SHERIFF CAN POUR $685.
600 WORTH INTO RIVER.

Augusta, May 30.-Attorneys Thorn
a broad and sweeping victory for the
anti-saloon forces of Georgia when
on Monday, before Judge Hammond,
they appeared as counsel for the
sheriff of Richmond county, respond
ing to five injunctions, all attacking
the constitutionality of the new prohi-
bition law and stressing the alleged
violation of property rights in the
contemplated destruction of $4,000
worth of liquor involved in the pro
ceedings.
Fifteen attorneys appeared repre-
senting the liquor interests and con-
signees interested in the disposition
of the whisky. They asked that the
cases be delayed until they could eX-
anime the demurrers and answers
filed by Colonel Fielder and his asso-
GATES Judge Hammond promptly
ruled that they were expected to be
prepared on the law and the facts.
After Colonel Fielder read his final de-
murrer the court questioned each side
as to the time they wished to argue
their cases, announcing he had reach
ed a conclusion ON the legal points in
volved.
Judge Hammond said in part:
This prohibition act is constitutions
al from first to last. The legislature
acted within it's right in taking liquor
out of the property lass and giving
to the sheriff the right to seize it with
or without search warrant and with or
without court orders"
Following Judge Hammond's decis-
ion the liquor attorneys offered to give
bond in any amount to get possession
of the liquor, but the court declined to
allow them in custody. Unless their
bill of exception is filed by 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, the court allowing
twenty-four hours for preparation,
Judge Hammond's decision demands
the pouring of $4,000 worth of liquor
into the Savannah river. The decis
ion is a comprehensive and conclusive
victory for the anti-saloon forces.

Watkins, the preacher Engineer for
a number of years locomotive engineer
for the Southern railway, running be-

Watkinsis one Of the oldest engineers

recent interview, Mr.. Watkins said:
81 have been treated by skilled spe-
cialists in Birmingham, Atlanta and
Richmond, and guess l have taken
about as much medicine as any man.
but never have l found anything that
has helped me as much as Tanlac, and
| have spent twelve hundred dollars
a small fortune-trying to regain my
health.
l suffered for twenty-seven long
years with stomach trouble, which the
doctors told me was caused by catarrh
al asthma. Instead of getting better,
was getting worse all the time. l got
so whenever l ate or drank anything
it was almost like taking that much
fire into my stomach. l was so run
down that when the time came for me
to go out on my run, just simply had
to force myself to duty, and when
got in my cab l knew | was in no
shape to sit at the throttle. The pains
in my stomach and head were so Sc
we're l could hardly stand it. About
two months ago / had such a severe
attack I had to take to the bed, and

anything to equal it. 1t went straight
to my troubles, and was in a hurry
about doing it, too. My friends began
to ask me what l was doing to myself.
"The change has been so great that

fellow on his feet, like Tanlac has
done me, it is nothing but right to
come out and tell the people about it

said he would be down to settle as

But For That Short Trout Angler

County Game and Fish Warden
Chaffee of Middlebury tells with some
glee the story of how he caught Fred
Murphy of Ripton, who was before
Municipal Judge Donoway last week
on a charge of taking and having in
his possession short trout, which little
failure TO observe the law cost Mr.
Murphy s196.40.
The game warden had gone up into
Ripton on the day in question to
admire the beautiful scenery which
abounds in that region, never more
beautiful than at this season of the
year and incidentally to watch out
for violators of the law Catching
sight of Murphy, who evidently had
been fishing, the game warden, who
had good reason to be suspicious,
called to him to let him see his fish,.
Instead Of complying, Murphy start
ed on a run through the woods for
his home, a short distance from the
center OF Ripton village Mr.. Chaffee
followed and shortly came upon a
small cloth bag which on examina.
ton proved to contain a bunch of
short trout. His interest in the chase
of Murphy ceased then and there and
going back to Judge Days store in
Ripton, he showed what he had found.
The game warden returned to Mid.

Murphy in the course of an hour or
two strolled into the Day store and
remarked to a bystander "Chaffee
