devotees of Bacchus.

flowed into the sewer and on out into

all eclat in the presence of Mayor
Hopkins. accompanied by several of
the police officers who worked theh
hammers on the motley collection OF
bottles containing a beverage which
would make carbolic acid take a back
seat and blush for shame
A big bath tub was the receptacle
into which the COntraband liquor was
poured and when the officers finish
ed their work, the tub was almost
full of packages of booze from which
the odoriferous liquid trickled in lux
urious abandon.

er a distillery was being operated and
on being informed as to the nature
of the operation, pinned streamers
of crepe on the sleeves of their coats

licyes the evacuation will not threat

Many Applications Received by
Treasurer Downing of Land
Owners Association.
TO START A BIG CAMPAIGN
Complete Eradication of the
Cattle Tick is Main Objective
OF This Influential Organiza=
lion.

AS indicated by the flood of appli
cations for membership now pouring
into the office of Major C. Downing
OF this city, treasurer of the Georgia
Land Owners association, the big
meeting of the organization at TiftOn
on September Is promises to prove
an epoch-making event in the deyel-
opment Of Georgia's agricultural in
terests.
Thus far applications have been re-
ceived from several hundred land
owners representing more than mil
lion and a half acres of land in South
Georgia and there is every indica-
ton that by the time the meeting is
held there will be at least two mil.
lion acres represented by the mem
bership of the organization
Mr.. Downing, as treasurer of the
association, is in direct touch with
the development of the project, which
has as its object the betterment Of
conditions as regards stock raising
and general farming, colonization and
kindred phases Of the work which
the organization has taken up.
Each member of the association
pays into the treasury one cent for ev-
cry acre OF land he owns, thus pro
viding fund from which the eX-
penses of the general educational
campaign are met. With 2,000,0GC
acres of land represented in the or
ganization, fund of $4,000 will be
secured annually for three year, as
membership contracts obligate the
member to continue his affiliation
with the association for that period
of time.
The passage of the Torrens land
title law by the last legislature was
+, the accomplishment of one OF the
prime objects of the association, and
now. the attention of the organization
| is being devoted to campaign to
bring about complete cattle tick Grad
ication in Georgia.
| To this end, all the energies of the
! association are being centered on an
educational campaign conducted By
| the land owners, tenants and STOCK
men throughout south Georgia, for it
| is in this section that the stock rails
ing industry is due for its greatest
! deyeloDment. The advantage OF rals
| ing cattle free from ticks has beer
demonstrated too many times to nee
| essitate any further discussion II
these columns.
The association at its meeting II
Triton will lay plans for a gigantic
propaganda campaign aiming at tlcf
eradication in south Georgia and as
the result of the gathering on sep
,tember Is. the activities of the organ
iztaion will be given much more co
hesiye form, so that the object o
the present drive may be attainei
within the space Of three years a
the outside.
Mr. Downing is much enthuset
over the interest thus far displaye;
in the association by the influentla
business enterprises and land owner
of this section, and feels confiden
that the organization will prove on
of the most powerful agencies in tn
constructive development OF soutl
Georgia. yG,
