SIXTY BUSHEL YIELD
IN THESE PEANUTS
STRIPPING FARM MEASURES OUT
PUT ON TEN ACRE PATCH.

The first measurement Of Crisp coun-
ty peanuts reported this season &C.
CURED on the farms of John and
Melvin STRIPPING, two hustling Crisp
county farmers who reside two miles
south of Raines. They have picked
594 bushels from one of their ten acre
patches. If they had gotten six more
bushels, it would have been an aver
age yield of sixty bushels to the acre
This yeald was not from brag av-
erage, but rather an average and the
indication is that they have this aver
age all over their farms Growers
who know something of peanut farm
ing under present demoralizing labor
conditions say this is not at all a bad
prospect. And these peanuts would
look doubly fine in a year in which
the weather had made is possible for
the weevil to destroy all or nearly all
of the cotton crop.
Crisp county has several peanut
crops that are much finer in yield, it
is believed, than has been reported
in this case.

SPILL FOR WOLF AND
THREE SMALL CHILDREN
CAR DRIVEN BY EUGENE YOUNG
BLOOD CRASHES INTO FORD
DRIVEN BY WoLFE-sLlGHT
INJURIES.

]. E. Wolfe, of the Louis Miller
store, and three school children, Grin,
Carolyn and Edrice Williams, chill
dren of Mr. l. G. Williams, who were
coming to school with Mr. Wolfe
Thursday morning, were spilled and
a Ford car they were in came near
turning over ON them when another
Ford driven by Eugene Youngblood
crashed squarely into their car at a
street crossing in the western portion
of Cordele, near the G. S. w. and G.
Railway crossing.
Mr.. Wolfe was bruised slightly and
little Grin Williams suffered slight
injury. The two girls were not hurt.
The car is said to have failed to turn
over completely on account of the
top, and this probably saved more
serious harm. Both cars were dam
aged but neither was out of com
mission.
Mr.. Youngblood said he struck the
car coming across his way before he
saw it.

MAJOR HOLTON
WANTS YOUNG men
HERE LOOKING AFTER RECRUITS
FOR GEORGIA FIELD HoSPiT-
AIS.

The Georgia Field Hospital Com
pany, now known as Field Hospital
No. 3, of the 106th Sanitary Train,
31st Division, U. S. A., has been mot
orized and enlarged to twice its nor
NAL strength. By this expansion
vacancy for about eighty enlisted
men in this company is created and
there now is a splendid opportunity
for a number of young men, preferab-
ly of the ages from twenty to twenty
five, TO become connected with the
sanitary arm of the service.
The Field Hospital operates about
five miles back of the firing line and
cares for all the emergency cases that
occur during the battle. By being
equipped with powerful motor trucks
the hospital is enabled to move quick
ly and follow the division wherever it
goes.
The Georgia Field Hospital is under
the command of Major G. Fullmer
Holton formerly of Cordele. and has
the distinction of being the only Ma
tional Guard hospital until that has
been in continuous United States SER
vice since June, 1916. For this rea-
son it is expected that this unit will
be one of the first to go to France
This will probably be the last oppor-
tunity for the young men of the. state
to "come in out OF the draft" end vol
unteer under two flags, the Star
Spangled Banner and the Red Cross.
Any one interested in enlisting with
this company should write or wire
Major C. F. Holton, care u. S. Re-
cruiting Office, Atlanta, Ga, within
the next ten days.

new TRIAL GIVEN
IN LOvETT CASE
JUDGE cRUM DECIDES JURY
VERDICT WRoNe-cAsE MAY
GO TO HIGHER COURT.

In the case of Sam Lovett against
the Seaboard, in which the jury re-
turned a verdict for 100000 at the
February term 1917 of the Superior
Court, Juge D. A. R. Crum has grant
ed the railroad company new trial
His reason, for granting the new
trial as stated by the courts order
are that the verdict was against the
weight of the evidence; that the
plaintiff, Lovett, could have avoided
the negligence of the railroad com
pany; that the plaintiff did not pro.
duce an X-Ray picture which had
been made; and that the verdict was
excessive.
The railroad company had made
extended exceptions to the charge of
the court to the jury, and law ques-
tons involved, but Judge Crum fail
ed to find any merit in these points,
merely declining to approve the find
ings of the jury on questions of fact.
THIS case, it will be remembered,
arose from Mr.. L0yett's being injured
at the Sixth Street Seaboard crossing
in Cordele. He alleges that his horse
took fright at an approaching Sea-
board train and ran up the track,
throwing him from his buggy across
the iron rail on his back, thereby in
juring him interally. The railroad
company claims it was not negligent,
and that Lovett was not injured to
the extent claimed. Mr.. Lovett is rep
scented by NJ. M. Fakes, and the Sea-
board by Whipple & Mckenzie.
