The fence-post problem Is easily
solved on the farm by means of SIM
pie method Of treating wood with coal
tar creosOte. Sap pine, red oak,
maple, beech, sycamore, black gum,
sweet gum and other abundant or in
ferior woods by this means are made
durable in the ground for 10 to 20
years of service.
1t is essential that the timber be
peeled and thoroughly seasoned before
attempting to treat 1t. Small flakes
of inner bark left on the wood check
or prevent proper absorption at those
places Peeling Is done most easily
during the spring months, but Is car
ried on at other seasons of the year.
A spade is about the best common i'm
plement for use when the bark slips
easily, otherwise an ak or draw-knife
should be used.
Because they have uniform alb
sOrbing surface of sapwOod, round
sticks are more satisfactory than split
timber. With treated timber 1t is not
necessary to use the large-sized line
posts commonly cut and used in the
past BY using a post from three to
four inches in top diameter and long
enough to allow: only few inches
above the top wire, the cost is re-
duced for creosote and for labor in
handling, the post lasts practically as
long as larger sizes, and it affords
ample strength for the fence line.
These facts have been fully estub-
lished by means of experiments and
demonstrations carried on for more
than ten years by. the forest service,

turc, in cooperation with number of

In treating the posts it is important
to get deep penetration of the pre-

Dutch Fcrr of Golf,

Where and when golf started mo-
body knows of certainty; whether
or not it comes from Holland or Scot
land matters little, perhaps, except to
the seeker after the truth and nothing
but the truth. To him we would say
that some sort of a game resembling
golf was played in Holland oftentimes
on the ice with stakes instead of
holes. No rules for such play have
ever been discovered, but from pic
lures we learn that the finish of this
Hollandsh form was somewhat after
the fashion of croquet, with the ball
being hit between two sticks.

Granulated Sugar
DueBack onMarket

Granulated sugar, which has been
an unknown article in Americus and
Georgia for several weeks, will make
its appearance this week. Several car
loads are expected within a day or
two by local wholesale grocers for
distribution among local dealers and
merchants throughout this section
Since before Christmas there has
been a shortage of refined sugar, ow>
ingto the demands of the government
for sugar for shipments to the army
overseas. The supply on hand in tht
Southeastern states soon ran out, and
since that time the merchonts have
been able to get only clarified sugar,
product that has not reached the
last refining stage, and is coarse and
inclined to form into hard Jumps when
left standing. Users also declare it
does not have the sweetening quality
of refined sugar. Plenty of the latter
is expected from this time on.

The three released were Barney Childs

The hearing failed to solve the
mystery of the killing. 1t developed
that Samson, who was a returned SOL

had been around the neighborhood on

from Childs' house. Miller and Mil

dead mans clothing was exhibited. His

that the fatal shot was fired at close
range. There was no evidence show

Stalks before he died, said Miller
shot him.
DR.. H. L. Boggs, of Cobb, was the
first witness, and his testimony was
largely confined to the nature of the
wound. He testified that Stalks had

AIRMEN BRING
$4,000 CASH
HERE BY PLANE
TOPAY TROOPS
Souther Field Quartermaster Flies to
Albany and Returns, Setting a
Precedent.

The airplane was put to a brand new
use Saturday when the quartermaster
at Souther Field flew fifty miles, to Al
bany, and returned with $4,000 with
which to pay off the enlisted men at
the camp yesterday afternoon
The Quartermaster is Lieut. P. NJ
Whitney, of Washington. His pilot
was Lieut.. Floyd A Wilson, of Denver,
who is assistant personnel adjutant
at the post.
The quartermaster called on Albany
bankers for the $4,000 cash because
he had drawn considerable sums from
the Americus banks in the week and
did not wish to embarrass them with
a request for further heavy draft of
cash. He arranged by telephone with
the Citizens Bank of Albany, to han
die the draft, then the pair hoped into
new Curtiss plane and had landed
at Albany in 25 minutes. Quartermas-
ter Whitney secured an automobile and
hurried to the bank, got his money,
which had been made ready in the de-
sired denominations, and returned to
the ship. By that time large percent
Mage of the population of Albany had
gathered ON the landing field, and the
pair were watched with eager eyes as
they seated themselves, started the
motor and were off again to Americus.
1--WE made the trip to Albany in 25
minutes; and the return in IS min
utes," said Lieut.. Wilson, the pilot, in
speaking of the trip afterwards. "Ev-
erything was lovely, and our arrival
attracted about half the people of AL
bany out to the landing field"
Airmen said Saturday evening that
this was the first time, so far as they
knew, that plane had ever been used
to transport cash, the more common
commercial use of the plane being for
mail or express transportation
