Famous Hand Wine Is
Destroyed By Sheriff;
10000 Gallons Involved

CAMILLA, Ca, Aug. 21.-The wine
belonging to the late Mr.. j. L. Hand
has been destroyed by Sheriff c. D.
Crow and his deputies.
1t is said that there was about 10000
gallons of the wine which has been
stored in a cellar at Pelham for the
past twelve or fifteen years.
The sheriff had been under a temper
airy restraining order granted by Judge
Harrell, of the superior court, AT the
request of the Hand executors, who
were endeavoring to have the wine sold
and the proceeds given to the University
of Georgia, which is said to have been
the wish of the late Mr.. Hand. How
ever, the injunction was dismissed re-
Gently by Judge Harrell, and the legis-
lature having failed to make disposal
of the affair." there was nothing else for
the sheriff to do under the prohibition
laws but to destroy the wine.
A sewer had been tapped which ran
into the cellar of the building where
the wine was stored, and the contents
of the several hundred barrels were
poured into the sewer. The wine was
manufactured at Pelham from grapes
grown on the farms of Mr.. Hand about
fifteen years ago. Up to the time of
Mr.. Hands death there was no law
aainst the keeping of the wine in the
state, but soon after his death the bone
dry law was enacted and went into eff
feet. The work of destroying the wine
was begun Thursday afternoon by Sher-
if Crow. and the job completed today.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-Italy's great of
fensive entered its third week tonight,
with official statements placing the pris-
oners for the past thirteen days at a.
301 men, of whom 720 were officers. The
Carso and Isonzo fronts tonight were
the most desperately fought over points
in all Europe.
On the west front, French troops
successfully fought off repeated attacks
by the German crown princes picked
troops, seeking recapture of ground
taken in a sudden and violent assault
on the Chemin des Danes. A brief ar
tillery bombardment yesterday was sue
ceeded by a combined French infantry
and aerial offensive over a mile front
during the night. French planes
massed in force, swept low over the
German trenches raking them with fire
and small shells. The official word was
that the French carried all objectiv es
of the attack.
On the British front continuous So
ries of bad weather had perceptible
effect in slowing up the fighting. Gun
fire was incessant all along the line, but
infantry fighting was confined to local
lied attacks and raids.
Another bag of Teutonic prisoners
was announced by Field Marshal Haig
in his report to the war office tonight.
Since the morning of July 81. when
the British assault opened, 1O,6S7 Ger
mans have been captured by the Brit
ish. Haig stated.
The Italian successes may have a
very great effect on elaborate plans
which the Germans have been making
recently for an offensive against the
Russian line around Riga. Swiss dis
patches report insistent demands from

wholesale Withdrawals of Austria :
troops from the northern front to re-
place exhausted and battered forces on

The best bet yet from the standpoint
Of Georsians profiting from the sale OF

who found that snap beans may be de-
livered in Tampa, Fla, and sold at a
Profit of IS cents a bushel above the
market price in Atlanta, or. shipped to

Of AZ cents a bushel may be realized.
Even a greater profit can be realized,
Mr.. Jackson believes, by residents of

The price of snap beans in Atlanta is
40 cents bushel against $3.50 bushel
in Jacksonville and So a bushel in
Tampa. The beans may be shipped to
Tampa at the rate of 80 cents a bushel

The explanation of the difference in

is that the Florida bean crop was har-

Mr.. and'Mrs. Romanoff
At Home to Their Friends
In Apartment in Siberia

PETROGRAD. Sept. Nicholas Ro-
manOff, the former emperor of Russia,
and his family are now living in A
fourteen-room apartment on the second
floor of a large old-fashioned house at
Tcholsk, Siberia, according to reports
Just reaching Petrograd. The house IS
without a garden and the only way of
getting fresh air is from a small bal
cony.
The day of the Romanoffs' arrival was
a holiday and few persons saw the new
corners except for a small crowd which
had assembled to watch a priest con-
duct the usual ceremony of blessing the
house for its new tenants. The guards
of the former royal family are mainly
cavaliers of the Order of st. George,
and fusiliers. and the family is virtually
under the same mode of life as at
Tsarskoe-Selo.
