BIG PRBFITS ARE MADE
ON THIS TOBACCO FARM

CUTHBERT, Ga, Oct, THAT to-
bacco can be grown uccessfully in
this county our townsman, Mr.. CRANKY
Fl. owen, is thoroughly convinced He
has demonstrated satisfactorily that it
can be done.
This year, Mr.. Owen set out seven
acres in tobacco on the place of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. l.. E. Gay. 1t was
cultivated under the direction of Mr..
Winslow, agricultural agent of the
Central railroad. An accurate account
of expenses was kept. The crop has
all been harvested, and the figure make
the following interesting report;
There were several grades of the to-
bacco. A few pounds sold as low as
II cents; the best grade brought %
cents. The entire crop brought ST.
1887. The expense was $3.50 per
acre, or total of S377.3O. This in
cludes the cost of barn for curing the
tobacco. Deducting the expense shows
net profit of $71717. This is net
profit of little more than $11O per
acre
| 1t may be predicted that Mr.. Owen
will grow tobacco next year
Only certain grades of land are suit
able for growing tobacco, but these are
! to be found in several sections of the
county.

For Reelection.

Chief of Police David F. Powers,
again asks the people of the City of
Richmond to consider his claims for
the Office of Chief of Police. Like the
rest of mankind, he has not been in
fallible, but his record is clean-cut and
he stands ready to rise or fall with
1T. Dave" as he is known to all, is
a whole-souled fellow and is popular
with all who know him. He would
rather do a favor than to be the re-
cipient of one. And yet, with a smile
and friendly word for everybody,
when IT becomes necessary to invoke
the law against transgressors, he is
brave and fearless, and performs his
official duties irrespective of friend
or foe. Since his incumbency in of
ice his duties have been rather ar
duous, owing to the violations of the
local option laws, which are in full
force and effect in this city. He is
JeTiersonian Democrat and has loyal-
ly stood by its flag and principles.
IL nominated and reelected to the of
nee of Chief of Police, he pledges
himself to enforce the law against all
transgressors and to serve the people
to the best of his ability.

Wounds Sef-inhcted.

"Gov." Ed Brown, a bachelor who
resides on Laurel street, and candi
date for Mayor, was taken to the P.
A. C. Infrmary last Wednesday
morning, suffering from wounds self
inflicted, so reported. Brown had a
slight cash across the throat and two
gashes across one of his wrists. 1t
is said that Brown stated that he had
too much blood and attempted to
bleed himself. After having his
wounds dressed by a physician and
spending nearly a week in ward at
the lnfirmary, he was discharged.
Brown is about sixty-fve years of
age and somewhat of recluse. 1t
is the consensus of opinion he was in
state of mental alteration when he
attempted to bleed himself, so to
speak, and when he saw the blood
flowing, he came to his senses, be-
came frightened and summoned aid.

given by DIR. William Darnall Nc
Clintock, a former pastor of this
church, and now head of the English
Department of the University of Chi
cago.
Hns subject "Things Comic" or
"The Newer Ideas Concerning the
Sense of Humor, with Special Illus
trations from the Comedy of Shakes

full and entertaining manner. He
more than sustained the reputation he
has made as a finished and able lee
turer.
DIR. McClintock was brought to
Richmond by the Woman's Club and
the city is deeply indebted to these
enterrpising women for a very de-
lightful evening.

Killed by Son

Green Warford, colored, who resid-
es on a farm near Rogersville, about
five miles south of Richmond, was
shot by his eleven year old
son, Dan Warford, and Instantly kill
ed about six o'clock Tuesday morning.
The elder Warfori was in the city
court day and went home late in the
afternoon. Upon his arrival home he
began to curse and abuse his wife,
who had been an invalid for several
months. He dragged her from the
bed and out into the yard and beat
her numerically, according to state
ments made by members of the fam
lily. He threatened to kill her. Mon
day night he loaded up his shot gun
and told his wife he was going to kill
her if she did not leave by ten o'clock
the next day. Tuesday morning War
ford was still in an ugly mood and
cursing and abusing his wife. He
anu SiiC "Chl " lOOh dllCi
some turkeys. The boy returned to
the house ahead of his father, and
knowing where the gun had been
placed the night before, secured pos
session of it. Green Warford went
in the room where his wife was lying
in bed and sat down before the fire.
With his hands resting upon his tenn
Piles and apparently in an ugly mood,
the young son pushed the door eau
tiously open, raised the gun and fired.
Two of Warford's fingers were torn
off and the force of the load entered
the right temple, killing him instant
ly. The boy who killed his father
said he shot him because he was a.
fraid he would kill his mother. On
learning of the killing, Sheriff Ben
ton proceeded to the scene of the kill
ing, but upon learning the nature of
the killing did not make any arrests.
Mr.. Tom Chenault told Sheriff Ben
ton any time the officers wanted the
boy to notify him and he would bring
him to the city. Public sentiment
seems to be wholly with the boy.

Joint Resolution introduced
In Both Houses to Declare
This Country in a State
of War With Gern1a,1u.
Home Preparedness.

That war in the United States is
inevitable is a foregone conclusion,
and that an army of 100000 men is
to be raised at once is the informa-
ton coming from official sources.
This condition will affect every home
in the country from the stand
point of the matter of food supply.
Food prices are high now, but the in
dications are that they will be higher
next fall and winter than they now
are and that the supply will be less,
unless strenuous efforts are made to
combat this condition.
This was exemplifed forcibly inso-
far as it affects Madison county when
DIR. Fred Mutchler, Chief of the Ex-
tension Department of the Govern
ment of Kentucky, was in conference
with Godfrey Morgan, State Farm
Agent, T. H. Collins, District Agent,
and c. C. Thomas, Secretary Chamber
of Comerce here last Friday. The
Secretary of Agriculture at Washing
ton, foreseeing the shortage of the
food supply for next winter has in
structed all of the agents of the gov
ernment, and especially the lady
Home Demonstration Agents in the
several counties of the State, to visit
every home in the county and urge
the people to plant every available
garden space in potatoes, onions and
other food products this summer and
lay therl away for the winter supply.
In other words it is desired that every
household become absolutely self-sus-
tanning next winter in the matter of
food supplies.
This work Is being tai taken up IN Mad
ison county along these lines and it
is a matter of serious import to every
1t is hoped that the peo-
pie of the county generally will real
ize the condition which confronts
them and will seek to follow the sug-
gestions from the Department of Ag-
so that when winter comes
each home may be in a state of pre-
paredness as against the high prices
that are sure to come.

100000 Men Will Submarines
Success OfRegiSter,s For.
mer Editor

The local friends of Mr.. Thomas II.
Pickles, former editor of the Kentuc-
ky Register, will be glad to hear of
his success in the East.
When Mr.. Pickles left Richmond he
became identified with the Western
Newspaper Union, the largest pub
fishing house in the world. He was
first connected with the Cincinnati of
flee of the company, but so splendid
record did he make there during
the closing months of last year, that
when Mr.. c. S. Clark, the Cincinnati
manager of the Western Newspaper
Union, was transferred to the Cleve-
land office January list, Mr.. Pickles
went with him.
During the past three months Mr.
Pickles has made a phenomenal sue
cess in the East, handling many large
contracts in the largest Ohio and New
York cities. He succeeded in attract
ing the attention of the general Office
of the company and as a mark of re-
cognition of his work, he has just
been assigned to conduct a special
campaign from the Atlanta office of
the firm.
He passed through Richmond Sun
day leaving his family here for visit
to Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Pickels
during his absence in the South. They
will all return to their home in Cleve-
land in May.
Mr.. Pickels' prospects are of the
highest hue, and it is freely predicted
by those in touch with the Western
Newspaper Union, that ere long he
will become the manager of one of the
80 big offices of the company, which
stretch from New York to San Fran
cisco.

Hemp Burns.

While breaking hemp and cleaning
up the farm Of Mr.. Kit ChenauIt. who
resides on the Irvine pike, about two
miles east of the city, wagon load
of hemp was partially destroyed by
fire last Thursday. In driving near

on the wagon caught fire. The driver
unhitched the team Of mules and they
scampered away. A heroic effort was
made to put out the flames, and the
wagon was saved with only slight
damage. Hemp is worth now s14 a
hundred the highest price in years.
However, Mr.. Chenault is very thank
ful he got off so lightly.
