BROWN SAYS HE
SAVED ON SEED
DEPARTMENT CLAIMS TO HAVE
HELPED HOLD COTTON SEED
TO RIGHT PRICE.

! tlanta, October 30-In a single
ms ance Of its activity, affecting one
county alone, the Georgia State Blu
reau Of Markets has succeeded in say
ing thepeople almost as much rs
the cost Of the operation OF the bu-
Ieau for an entire year.
When $50 was given as the best
price ihac could be paid in Rome and
vic nifty. 6 few days age, the presi-
dent Of the chamber Of commerce of
that city, &c ling that his section was
being Disseminated against, took tic
matter up with Director l.. B. Jackson
of the state bureau of markets, who
succoeIol in placing the Rom2 seed
sellers in touch with buyers who
took al there was tc be lad from that
terri DRY at a price of $72. so ger ton
t. @. b. shipping point, as against only
$50 offe-2d there.
If tho conservative estimate of only
1000 tons be made, this involves a
saving u The producers CT $12,5OO, as
The direct result Of tn2 market bu-
reaus efforts This is a saving to
che c immunity of only $1,000 less
than the entire appropriations for the
msintainance OF thu market bureau
for twelve months, and it is a good
illustration of its possibilities in
serving the producers OF Georgia.
Another interesting instance of the
effort of the work done by the de-
partment and it's market bureau in
unfolding the price of cotton seed,
is the fact that an Atlanta concern
has just made a purchase of cotton
seed at the price of $50 per ton in
carload lots, equal to the highest
price fixing was contemplated Com
quotation under which government
Commissioner Brown maintains III L.
at the present price of cotton seed
as we'll as of hog lard, there is no
reason why seed should not sell on
any market for $50 per ton or more
Plant wheat, and the more wheat,
is the urgent 4 advice of the State
Department Of Agriculture. This is
probably the last time this appeal
will be made to the farmers of Geor-
-gia, for the wheat planting season is
at hand. It is high time now to be-
gin. to get the ground your best
ground ready to put 4 it in. Every
farmer should make his start 0 now
and see to it that he gets i the, best,
seed. If there is any trouble in get
ting seed, write to the State Bureau
Of Markets. .,jvAlir sc QaAo
Daily developments are now con
firming more and more strongly the
position 1.-The department of agricul-
ture has taken ON this question of
planting wheat, fall oats and rye.
Georgia needs every bushel of them
that can be grown. And these grains
may be followed up by corn, peas,
Spanish peanuts, sweet potatoes or
other profitable crops, thus making
Two valuable crops from the same
land in a year. AS last appeal the
department expresses the hope that
every Georgia farmer will go to work
now and raise just as much wheat
as he can.

CHANGING TERMS
FOR LIQUOR SELLERS
PROBATED IN SOME CASES. BIG
FINES AND JAIL SENTENCES
ARE ALSO IMPOSED.

Changing sentences, without the al
tentative of q fire, were imposed by
Judge RouKe in the City Court yester-
day, as the court ended a busy week S
labors. 1t will reconvene tomorro' :.
Henri Suffer and L. A. Massart were
sentenced to the changing for SIX
and three months respectively. u~
The>two men were convicted of VIC
lating the prohibition laws by City
Court juries during the week. EYi-
dence produced by the state at the
trails indicated that the defendants
were persistent violators and the court
had made it plain that he has
little 3ympathy with defendants OF this
type.
F. NJ Schumann, convicted during
the week en- charges of liquor viola
tons, was fined 5000 and sentenced to
six months in jail and six months on
the changing. The court probated
the gang sentence, pending good be-
havior

fined $1,000 and sentenced to Jail for
81 Xmonths and to the changing for
twelve months, but the gang sentence

MOTION FOR NEW
TRIAL POSTPONED
UNUSUAL GROUNDS FOR NEW
TRIAL FOR DR.. CHAPLAIN
TO BE ALLEGED.

The motion for a new trial in the
case of DR.. c. K. Chapman vas not
heard yesterday. Judge Littlejohn
granted postponement 10 the de-
fendent's attorneys. Tie record is SO
voluminous that they Lave not been
able to complete it and could not get
ready for a hearing yesterday.
One of the grounds FOR a new trial
is that the judge erred il refusing to
permit questions be asked of a
prospective juror while he was on
trial, questions other than those al
lowed by the code for vroi dire exam
nation.
1t is also understood that a showing
will be made to the effect that a juror
expressed the opinion, prior to the
trial, that DR.. Chapman was guilty.

WILLIAM ]. WANTS TO
HELP THE NAVAL STORES

Washington, Oct 29-(SpeciaD R,
w. Adamson and W. T. Roberts, of the
Federal Trade Commission have just
returned from Savannah and South
Georgia, where they made an exhaus-
tive investigation of the naval stores
industry They reported that they
found the industry in very unsatifac-
tory condition. Very few, if, indeed,
any of theproducers aremaking any
money at this time, The naval stores
industry. they said, seems to be one Of
the few that has not profited on &C
count of the war.
Chairman William ]. Harris has
deeply interested the other four mem
bers of commission in the rather de
ploraBle situation regarding the naval
stores industry, and hopes he will be
able to do Something to relieve the

WAR TAX FOR ALL
PASSENGERS NOW
RAILROADS ARE REQUIRED TO
COLLECT WAR TAX FROM
ALL PASSENGERS.

The U. S. War Revenue Tax Act re-
CURES railroads to assess and collect
war taxes as Indicated below from
each person transported by common
carriers and impose q penalty of ST.
eco and imprisonment for failure of
pov@cas using a common carrier to pay
the tax imposed bz the said act of Con
gross, viz:
per cent OF the valuc of passenger
transportation service where the per
capita rate is 3Gc or more.
10 per cent of the value of Pullman
space occupied.
1c for each zoo or fraction thereof
paid for transportation of excess bag
gala.
per cent of amount paid for milk
tickets. ~
The effective date OF tax law is Nov
c1a5er 1st, 1917. Tickets purchased
prior to that date.and rot partly used
before that date are subject to the tax
Round trip tickets purchased prior to
November LIST, and partly used prior
to November 1st art not subject to the
tax
Unused coupons of mileage books
purchased prior to November LIST are
subject to the tax On and after No
venber 1st the railroads are required
to collect in cash, 8 per cent. of the
value of all mileage coupons surren-
dered for transportation service, on
which the tax has not already been
paid, if thevalue of such coupons
amounts to 36c or more.
Where the tax covering the value of
mileage coupons is collected by con-
ductor, regular cash fare receipt will
be issued for the tax collected.
The collection by Ticket Agents and
Conductors of the tax as indicated
above involves a great deal Of extra
work and separate calculations are
necessary to. ascertain the exact
amount of the tax which must be col
lected for each ticket sold and for
each cash farecollected by conductors
In almost every case odd cents will
be required, and it will greatly facili-
tate each transaction if passengers will
supply themselves in.adyance with the
exact change. aSifA)
This is. generally desirable where
persons i get on trains at non-agency
stations, or at stations where agents
are not on duty, as it is difficult for
conductors to always make the change
where there are a large number of
persons paying cash fares. 1t49 ~
Encouragement of the A. B. & A.
Ry. appeals to the patrons to exercise
reasonable patince with ticket agents
and conductors, and whenever it is
possible to go to the station and pur-
chase tickets a reasonable time in ad-
vance of the expected. departure of
trains, and so relieve ticket agents as
much as possible of the confusion
which will doubtless exist at many
points if there are large number of
passengers calling for tickets a few
minutes before train time

The remarkable success of the
county fairs in Georgia this year as
well as the larger fairs, is a subject
for much congratulation. The depart
ment cannot too strongly commend
the splendid showing everywhere
made.
at is impossible for me to respond
to all the invitations to attend fairs, y
said Commissioner ]. j. Brown, but
| did see a number of them, and ev-
erywhere they we're away above the
average. In them it was clearly dem
onstrated that Georgia has raised
more food and feed products than in
any year of her history.
1--WE want to urge farmers all over
Georgia to continue the planting of
food products and earnestly suggest
that no farmer allow himself to be
influenced by 30 cent cotton, to cause
him to plant heavily of that product
at the expense. of food and feed prod
ucts. If our Georgia farmers will
continue to make sufficient food for
man and beast, to maintain the farm
err and supply the state, then indeed
will Georgia cotton become an entir-
Iy surplus crop in 1918. I can i'm
agine no condition that would be
more profitable to the. farmers Of
this state"

BAcA COUNTY YARMER
HOLDS DIo SALE
Eight thousand Dollar Receipts
Ana Hst Z Mote 1aksn


When they begin to tell you
about how hard up the people are
through this section you can just
give EN- the horse laugh or cite
them to the case OF q sale just held
in Baca county by one OF the farm
ers which netted total amount Of
eight thousand dollars and not
one note was given. This is down
in the south country where it is
sometimes said that the dry land
farmers are starving to death
but the chances are that our people
are as well fixed as they are in any
new country and far ahead Of lot
of the older states.
The following notice from the
Two Buttes Sentinel goes to show
how really '.hard-up" they are down
that way; THE Sentinel advertised
the biggest sale held this year so
far-that Of w. H. Curtis. on Tues
day last, near Two Buttes. A large
crowd was in attendance and bid
ding was lively and the prices paid
were quite satisfactory all around.
Proceeds were about 5000 and Mr..
Sayler, the clerk, says he didn't take
in Z note
