ALL TRUNKS SEARCHED
At ATLANTA STATIONS

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 19.--It is COM
mon knowledge among Atlaltians who
go to New York and try to bring back
liquor in their trunks that they cant
get by the baggage man. In other
words, their trunks are opened, and
the liquor taken out and hey have to
grin and bear it, or cuss and bear it,
as their dispositions dictate. They
cannot kick, because in 80 doing they
would incriminate themselves. But no.
1t appears that the baggage men, emf
boldened by their success in stealing
liquor unmolested, have extended their
operations to include other contents
which happen to strike their fancy
DR.. Joseph H Johnstone, dean OF
the New York University school of
commerce, who is touring the South en-
pleasure trip, and delivering lectures
in the principal cities t. business bod
les, came to Atlanta With complete
golf uniform in his funk, and when
he raised the lid in tie hotel room he
discovered that the Baggage thieves,
falling to find any Fquor, had taken
out his hob-nailed shoes and his knicE-
erbocker breeches end various other
accoutrements of the links.
Consequently the distinguished econ
omist was taken With a severe cold
when he tried to Negotiate the course
in borrowed toys, because the ground
was wet and his feet got cold, and he
had no liquor on which to steam up
when he finished the round. Of course,
he would have had no liquor, even ii
the baggage thieves had left his trunk
alone, but they couldn't have cut him
deeper than by stealing his golf trap

AUGUSTA GRAND JURY
PROBES CITY AFFAIRS

AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. 19.-For the
first time in the history of the city a
grand jury from the superior court
took upon itself, with the charge from
Judge Henry c. Hammond, to inquire
into the operation of the city affairs
OF Augusta.
Their .presentments which will cover
two pages of newspaper space VIII en-
printed, criticise some of the city Of
fc:als severely, mainly those connected
with the recorders court.
In August of this year after inF-
vestigatlon of the affairs of the re-
corder's court, the clerk, E. S. Beld-
ing was removed from Office for ac-
cepting ''straw bonds" to the extent
of several thousand dollars, 50 per
cent of these bonds being the cases
of one attorney. who when his clients
were fined certioraried the cases to
the superior court, but none was ever
argued.
when there was approximately $S,00O
of the fines unpaid, the city employed
It. F. Harrison, brother-in-law of the
mayor, to collect the fines, and he col
lected something like $4,000 of the
money. All of this and the testimo ny
of the various city officials and c1tf-
zens are incorporated in the present

4 COMPLETE CAANGE
IN GROWING TOBACCO

WINST0N-SALEM, n. c., Nov. 49,.
A complete revolution in the method of
handling leaf tobacco from the time
it is gathered from the field until it
recently in Piedmont, North Carolina,
one of the largest tobacco growing
sections, to meet the increasing de-
mand for bright tobacco used in the
manufacture of cigarettes. The new
method saves labor, time and fuel
For many years, the growers in this
district have bent their energies to-
ward raising heavy tobacco regardless
of the quality, since practically all
OF the tobacco grawn was used in
the manufacture of chewing tobacco.
They would allow the tobacco to ma
ture in the field and when it began
to turn yellow would commence gath
ering it, cutting the whole stick and
stripping the leaves after curing by
heat.
Under the new method, the leaves
are stripped from the stalk in the
field according to the degree of ripe
ness. The tobacco is topped in the
field so each stalk will have an aver
age of about twelve leaves, so the
process of stripping requires about
for trims over the field, at intervals
OF three Or four days, allowing the
leaves to mature regularly and evenly
The new process has several points
Of advantage, the first and main one
being that the leaf is allowed to cure
evenly and bright The stripping
process, which permits the speedier
handing has resulted in a much short
Ell marketing time.
The average amount sold each year
on the Winston-Salem market In re-
cent years has been about twenty
five million pounds, though the I'M
usually short crop of 1916 amounted
to only yabout II million pounds.
Last year the crop sold for an aver
age of about Is cents a pound, the
largest in the history of the market
This year with more han half of the
crop sold, the average price paid for
it to November / was more than 80
cents a pound.
