TO THE. FOLKS AT HOME.

Samuel j. kirkWood, secretary or
the interior in the cabinets OF Presi-
dents Garfield and Arthur, while war
governor of Iowa. in the year 1851,
made a speech from the steps of the
old capitol building In which he said :
These are troublesome times
and there are traitors and spies
in our midst who would destroy
this Union. If any man in this
state Is a traitor to the cause or
insults the flag. shoot him in the
act, or in the uttering of the
word. am the governor; your
pardon awaits YOU"
What the United States needs at
the present time is as war governors
like Samuel j. Kirkwood.
AS a people we have too much ego
in our cosmos. We do a big thing In
big way but frequently neglect the
details. Just now we are on the big
gest job the world has ever known,
and it is up to us to get down to the
materialistic and unitarian.
We who are In France and those
who are to follow have no fear for
the months of toll and battle that lie
before us-but we do want to know
that the spies and traitors who are
seeking to block our avenues of sup
plies. and munitions shall not succeed.

TOBACCO in THIS
SECTION PROFITABLE
ANOTHER CROP IN SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA COMBATING THE
DESTRUCTIVE WEEVIL.

The results from tobacco grown in
southeast Alabama and southwest
Georgia this year removed all doubts
as to whether tobacco is a successful
and profitable crop for this section.
When the Central of Georgia rail
road first employed Mr.. J. A. Wins
low, tobacco expert from South
Carolina, and gave his services to the
farmers of southwest Georgia in
1914 to show them how to grow and
cure bright leaf tobacco "a sun grown
and flue cured Variety it was an ex-
pertinent; the purpose of which was
to introduce in this section (where
the boil weevil has rendered cotton
not only uncertain but more eXpen-
sive to produce) another staple crop
which might be grown on the acre
age which would necessarily have to
be released from cotton when the
boil weevil became firmly establish
ed.
It is true that tobacco this year
sold for abnormal prices, but no
more so than cotton or other farm
products; and this can be proven by
comparison Of average prices receiv-
ed for tobacco with those obtaining
for other farm products in the years
1905 to 1910. AS it has been proven
that the soil and climate of Terrell
county and the rest of southwest
Georgia is such as will produce a
good yield and quality of bright leaf
tobacco, the figures of results for
1918 may be taken as evidence of
the possibilities of the tobacco crop.
The crop from / ,019 acres of the
tobacco grown under the supervision
of the CentraPs agriculturist, Mr..
Winslow, was sold under his personal
supervision and careful record kept.
This record shows gross receipts of
1904 $50, which amounts to $200.83
per acre, at an average price of 28.7c
per pound. The total yield was 49,
/ 296 pounds, an average of 700
pounds per acre, which is lower than
in previous years, due to long dry
spell. A fair estimate of the aver
/ age cost Of production per acre is
! $50, and by adding to this .0176c per
/ pound, the actual cost of marketing,
which includes freight charges, war
tax. warehouse charges, weighing,
selling and draying, or S12.32 per
/ acre, the total cost of production per
acre is $72.32. and leaves an aver
I age net profit per acre Of $128.51.

STILL ON FARM OF PROMINENT
BAKER COUNTY MAN IS RAIDED
One of Big Capacity Found on Place
of Hon. Ben Sanders, Which Was
Known as Little jacksonville"

NEWTON, Ga.-One of the big
gest raids ever made in this section
was upon several stills found upon
the place of Ben Sanders, a prom.
inent citizen of Baker county, by
United States Deputy Marshal R. N
Westbrook, of Albany, and Deputy
Collectors E. C. PIERCE, of Dublin,
E. G. English of Reynolds, S. j.
Causey, of Columbus, and S. M.
Moye, of Sandersville.
Under big canvas tent, within a
few hundred yards of Sanders home
by the side of the road with no ap-
parent effort at concealment, the of
ticers found rs gallon copper still
and five ten gallon metal stills, all
the necessary apparatus for opera
ton and 1900 gallons of syrup and
corn mash. Locked in barn on San
ders' place was found a considerable
quantity of whisky. Sanders place
had come to be known in this section
as Little Jacksonville.
Sanders is one of the most promi-
nent citizens of Baker county, and
has repeatedly sought to be elected
to the legislature from this county,
coming within eight votes of the nom
ination last month. On one occasion
he actually received the nomination,
only to be defeated by an independ-
ent in the General election.

DAWSONIAN WRITES
OF LIFE IN TRENCHES
HOW THE BOYS GO OVER THE
TOP, CHASE HUNS AND IDLE
AWAY THE HOURS.

The following is an extract from
a letter written from France by Ed
Stewart. son of Mr.. and Mrs. R. S.
Stewart. of Dawson, to his brother
in Valdosta, W. L. Stewart:
Just back from the front two
days. We were up two weeks this
time
eve had some experience going
over the top, etc. No doubt you will
have seen the victory of the Ameri-
cans by the time you get this. l
think our company did some mighty
good work, killing the Germans, cap
turing prisoners, guns and some
towns. Our casualties were very,
very light, of which l am so proud.
Oh, the great barrage our boys put
over and the great American SOL
diers following it up, and when we
struck the enemy's line they got just
exactly what they needed. l had a
number of shells to fall pretty close
by, but miss is as good as a mile.
Had some gas used on US while up
there, but made it through all right

see they are whipped, and this is
their last resort. They see and real
ize that the allies are not consider
ing any of their peace proposals, but
instead scorning at such.
"This is a great war, Rubber, but
as you say, l know you keep up with
it close. Lots of fun, l think, to
watch and learn the different signals
and signs each side uses. The lights,
parachute flares, various colored
rockets and numerous other signals.
The aeroplanes are continually on
the go, and especially during the
drive. Saw as high as twenty-four in
one bunch of allied planes. Saw a
German plane now and then, but not
near as many as allied. Saw several
battles between them, and now it is
is real fun to watch that-the differ

WOMAN FAILED TO
RECOVER DAMAGES
MRS. JONES SOUGHT BIG SUM
FROM AN OFFICE BUILDING
COMPANY IN COURT.

At last the poor busy business
man, intent on his own business, and
deathly afraid of book agents, life
insurance agents and others of a sim
liar occupation, is to have protection.
What is the most encouraging legal
symptom in the history of the legal
Jurisprudence has just been handed
down by the state court of appeals,
when it holds that the occupants or
owner of building is not supposed
to nor is he in any way bound to
look after the interest, safety and
well being of such people as stated
above.
1t is true that the decision does
not mention bill collectors, which
some will undoubtedly consider a
most regrettable oversight, but the
language of the decision is such that
it does not leave the collectors on
anything like safe ground.
The decision was handed down in
the case Of Mrs. Sallie Jones against
Asa Gambler, Inc. She claims that
she had visited the Gambler building,
owned by the defendant, for the pur-
pose of going to the Office of one of
the occupants and securing from
him donation to be used in the pur-
chase of photograph for the stu
dents of Oglethorpe University.
Wanted Coca-Cola Balm.
AS she was coming out of this
office she fell over some scantlings
left on the floor by the owner of the
building or by some of his employees.
So she sued. She damitted, however,
that she came into the office on her
own business and not as a patient of
the physician on whom she called.
When the case was tried the judge

nounced here today by DIR. Henry A.
Cotton, medical director of the New
Jersey state hospital, in a report to
the state department of charities and
corrections.
The report gives the results of
eleven years of experimentation on
a number of deranged patients and
states that recoveries are not only
speedy under the new treatment, but
that sanity has been restored to
some who had been in the hospital
for as long as nine years.

in the lower court directed a non
suit, and the case was then carried
to the court of appeals on appeal.
The higher court held that where
the owner or tenant of the building
induced others to come on his prem
ises by expression or implied invita-
ton for any lawful purpose he is
liable in damages in such cases.
But ruled the court, 'If a book
canvasser, life insurance agent,
lightning rod man, should come upon
any premises in pursuit of their bus
mess and not at the request of the
owners or lessees of said premises
and should receive any injury as a
consequence of any defect in the
premises they cannot recover dam
ages" The lower court upheld.
