DR.. CHAPMAN ISOLATED
Trouble in Sumpter County Jail is
Cause of Action.

AMERICUS, Mar. 25.-Dr. c. X.
Chapman, first of the Wade murder
case defendants to be convicted before
petit jury, has Teen removed from
his cell with other prisoners in Sum-
ter county jail here, and is isolated
as result of a heated conversation
with Deputy Sheriff Tom Summers
and Deputy Superior Court Sheriff
Sam r. Eieys.
During the conversation, which cen
tered about Chapman having filed a
pauper's oath in connection with his
appeal to the superior court, the pris-
oner is alleged to have used certain
profane language rejecting upon every
official in TIE courthouse. This was
heard by Deputy Summers, and the
disciplinary measure referred 10 above
invoked. Other privileges heretofore
allowed DIR. Chapman may also be re.
voked as a result of his "run-in" with
the officers.

Hail in Wilcox County.

ABBEVILLE, Mar. 25.-Parties com
ing in today from the south and south
western part of Wilcox county report
a heavy hail storm yesterday after
noon starting about 2:30 O'Clock. In
some places the hail was as large as
hen eggs. 1t piled up against houses
and fences and looked like snow The
hail did some damage to new cotton
just coming up, and it is said such cot
ton must be replanted as result.
Abbevilie and immediate vicinity
was visited by heavy rain, relieving
the dry spell that has retarded farm
work to some extent and kept gardens
from making the customary progress
With warm weather now the crops will

| LIBERTY LOAN WILL NOT
INTERFERE WITH STAMPS

ATLANTA, Mar. 26.-Special atten-
ton is called to the fact that the APP
preaching Liberty Loan drive will
not interfere with the sale of thrift
stamps and savings stamps, and the
systematic campaign to promote the
latter securities will go on just the
same while Liberty Loans are being
sold
Hugh Richardson, State director of
thrift and war savings stamps in Geor-
gia, has issued a statement laying
stress on this fact and explaining that
it is not the desire or the purpose of
the Treasury Department for thrift
stamp work to be suspended while
the Liberty Loan campaign is under
way
AS Mr.. Richardson points out, Lib
erty Loan Bonds are above the reach
of many people, while thrift stamps
at 25 cents each can be purchased
by almost every person in the country,
from the children up. Bearing IL
per cent interest, compound, they are
probably the most attractive war Sc
curities on the market, and the entire
issue would be speedily taken by big
inestors if they could, but the govern
ment has placed a maximum limit of
81. 600 on each individual purchaser
of war savings stamps, for the pur-
pose of keeping them in the reach
of the whole people

Major Mallet explains that the fore

they would not therefore, be indicted

men had been exhausted, which will

CONN. CANNING CORPS
 Is NOW BEING FORMED
Canning Quota for the Town of Norh Canaan Is 12, 300
 Quarts

The U. S. government has already requisitioned 65 per cent of the fac tory canned goods for our troops both here and in France, and the re- maining 35 per cent should and must be left for the families of the women working in factories and of those who are unable to have the necessary canning equipment in their homes.
 The Department of Agriculture has asked the women and children of Conn. to can 5,000,000 quarts for their winter use. It is estimated the Junior Food Army will can 100000 quarts which leaves 100000 quarts for the housewife. The quota for the town of North Canaan is 12,300 quarts. In order to urge and encour- age the housewives of Connecticut to make this necessary effort, the State Committee has decided to form a Conn. Canning Corps and to enroll as many women as possible asking them to pledge themselves to can definite number of quarts for the use of their families. 1t was rumored last fall adn doubtless will be again this season that the govern ment would confscate home canned and dried products. This is only German propaganda and is absolute ly groundless and not based in fact. The only aim of this movement is to conserve perishable products for home consumption this winter. The canned products sold at the stores will of necessity be higher in price than at the present time so it he- hooves the housewife not only to can for patriotic reasons but also for the sale of reducing expenses.
 Miss Jessie Donaids has kindly consented to give any demonstra- tions that seem necessary. If any one caring for such demonstration would notify Miss Donalds CT the Chairman of Home Economies, Mrs. N. L. Jackson their requests will be complied with. Bulletins on the cold pack method which has been tested and proved to be very successful have been sent for and can be se- cured from the Town Chairman. A thorough canvas of the town will be made and-every housewife will be asked to sign the following pledge;
 As a patriotic citizen, desiring to help win the war, pledge myself to can at least -. quarts of Fruits and Vegetables, thereby saving perish able foods and relieving transporta- tion.
 If Connecticut reaches its quota of 5,000,000 quarts. North Canaan must do it's share and'if North Ca naan reaches it's quota of 12,300 quarts each and everyone of us must do our share. Please give this matter your most earnest attention and be ready for the pledges when they are presented to you.

Suffrage Notes

A protest meeting against the at titude taken by the Connecticut Senators on the Federal Suffrage Amendment has been arranged by the Connecticut Branch of the National Woman's Party for tomor- row (Thursday). The meeting is to take place in Simsbury at the home of Mrs. Charles Boughton Wood. Sinnsbpry has been chosen as the rlace of the meeting because it is the home of Senator Mclean, the Senator whom the Suffragists had thought would be likely to back up President Wilson in his war policies and measures and therefore to vote for the suffrage amendment.
 AS preliminary to the meeting at Simsbury there is to be an automo- bile parade in Hartford, with street speaking. The cars will assemble at the South Green and suffrage colors and banners will be much in evidence The Mayor of Hartford, Mayor Kin sella, is strongly i'll favor net only of woman suffrage but also of the inn mediate passage of the Federal Amendment. and it is expected that he will be present to give a greeting to the suffragists.

WOMEN FARMERS
Farmerettes Success to Date in
 Litch6eld County


 The Washington Camp of women farm workers has been doubled in size, now having 20 women, in order to meet the demand from the far mers of that locality for the labor of these women. Reports from the other units of women workers, about Litchfeld County are that as farmers have chance to see the work that the women are doing they are ask ing for them in increasing numbers.
 The women have rather special ized in hoeing, wedding and similar forms of hand cultivation, up to the present. An ordinary farm boy would be amazed at the gusto with which they attack field of corn full of witch grass. A few of them have been using horse drawn tools, walk ing cultivators, riding cultivators, hay rakes, tedders, etc. very success fully They have been used to some extent at various other tpyes of farm work. Undoubtedly the variety of their occupations will increase rapid ly as the season progresses. Many of them have had little previous experi- ence but they learn very quickly.
