NOW CHEAPER TO PAY
RENT THAN TO MOVE

Atlanta, Ga. March 13-If there
was ever any truth in the old saying
that its cheaper to move than to pay
rent" that time is past and gone in
Atlanta; for the moving vans have
caught the general epidemic of high
prices prevailing Throughout the coun-
try and have increased their charges
very materially. They justify the in
cease by very peculiar logical pro-
cess. 1t costs more to operate motor
trucks, on account of the high price
of gasoline; motor trucks have taken
the place of horse-drawn trucks,
therefore the man who moves must
pay the difference. OF course the man
who moves contends that if motor
trucks cost more than horse drawn
vans, why shouldn't the transfer COM
panies go back to horse-drawn vans?
But the transfer companies don't see
it that way.

MOONSHINE LIQUOR WILL
SOON BE LEADING DRINK

Atlanta, Ga, March l3.-Moonshine
liquor will be the only kind you can
get IN Georgia when the legislature
at the forthcoming extra session
enacts law prohibiting the shipment
OF any quantity of whisky into the
state; and even moonshine will be
mighty hard to get if the legislature
enacts law making the manufacture
OF whisky felony as proposed by
Representative N. F. Culpepper. of
Meriwether county.
1t is fact which has often been
noted by the newspapers that the use
of corn whisky has steadily increased
since the present prohibition laws be-
came effective on May l, 1916. Men
are drinking corn liquor who never
drank it before, the simple reason be-
ing that they get this kind when no
other kind is available.
Corn liquor is the principal product
OF the moonshine Still" and the
moonshine "still" will be the principal
enemy of genuine prohibition. after
the enactment of the bone dry law
prohibiting all shipments into the
state.

Five Avenues of Profit
First: Progressive oil mills through

oil is in great demand
Second: The nut and vines are a
splendid feed for cattle, producing a

fed and fattened is a certainty.
Third: The best quality of peanuts

Fourth: Peanut cake (from the oil
mills), fed to hogs, makes a vigor-

corn, gives a firm meat with the fat
containing proper proportion of
stearine for making good firm lard.
Feeding the whole nut to the hog

PEONAGE IS CHARGE

William D. Graham, of Bleckley
county, and Sam Graslam, of Dodge
county, brothers who reside near
Cochran, were arraigned before
United States Commissioner L. M.
Erwin yesterday on a peonage com
plant filed by Henry White, Jr., a
negro. White alleges that he was
held in a condition of peonage for
some time by the Grahams.
The Grahams own farms of about
200 acres each and are well-known
farmers. They have retained Charles
w. Griffin, c. A. Wellington and c.
]. Block to represent them. and will
also secure the services of Warren
Grice. On account of the absence
from the city of Mr.. Grice the attor-
neys for the Grahams asked for con-
tinuance of the hearing, and it will
come up before Commissioner Erwin
at 1890 Friday morning.
The Grahams gave bond for appear
ance before the commissioner next
Friday and returned to their homes.
They will bring number of witness
es with them on their return to Ma
con. Peonage charges are becoming
rare in the United States court of this
district, and the Graham cases will
probably attract considerable atten-
ton.

Because it is legume, many peo-

The plant requires sufficient
amount of nitrogen from a quick acting
source to carry it to the nodule form

Gent quantities of phosphoric acid and
potash is essential during the growth
and maturity of the plant.
An application of a fertilizer con-

thorough test OF the popular eye remedy,

simple in its application that il can be uset
