HAWKINS FARM
TO GO LIMIT in
STOCK RAISING

Announcement was made today
that an arrangement had been COM
pleted between G. C. Hawkins, we'll
known planter and live stock raiser,
and F. W. Kedenburg, swine expert
of the Aries plantation for the past
year, whereby Mr.. Kedenburg will
take charge Of the swine depart
ment on the 875-acre farm of Mr..
Hawkins four miles out on the Ella
vile road. At the same time it was
announced that Mr.. Hawkins son,
Emmett C. Hawkins, would take
charge of the cattle raising on the
farm. Activity will be devoted ex-
clusively to Shorthorn cattle and Du-
roc hogs, beef and pork types.
It was announced that, while the
farm is already stocked with a con-
siderable number of pure blood ami
mails, both hogs and cattle, embrac-
ing some of the finest shorthorns in
the South, it is Mr.. Hawkins inten-
tion to ego the limit in developing
the stock industry on his place un-
der the direction of Mr. Kedenburg
and his son, and a large addition to
the breeding stock is to be made at
an early date. 1t is understood to
be Mr.. Hawkins intention to make
his place one of the very finest and
greatest live stock farms in the en-
tire South, and it was with this in
tention that he secured the services
of Mr.. Kedenburg.
Mr.. Kedenburg is the man who
gathered together, prepared and ar
ranged the wonderful agricultural ex-
hibit from the Aries plantation shown
at the Sumter county fair in October
He was apologetic for the exhibit at
the time, explaining that it had been
collected hurriedly and did not real
ly represent the plantation at its
best. In addition, he was limited in
display space to about one-fourth
what was needed, he said.
"But watch the Hawkins farm at
the county fair next fall" said Mr.
Kedenburg today; call I ask is
keep your eyes open, for we're going
to begin in time for the 1920 show.

WARE
INDICTED FOR
MISDEMEANOR

1t developed today that the state
would prosecute Sidney Ware, the ne
gro accused of assisting in throwing
the body of Mrs. Pearl Duckworth in
to the well at her home where her
body was found two weeks ago to-
morrow, only for misdemeanor, an
indictment for that grade of offense
having been returned by the grand
Jury late yesterday. The indictment
sets forth that Ware, who had know
ledge of the killing of Mrs. Duckworth
by her husband, Sam Duckworth,
concealed the same from the magls-
trate by hiding the body of the DE-
ceased in a we'll"
Duckworth, who is alleged by the
state to have confessed that he killed
his wife, will probably be among those
indicted today. The defense, repre-
sented by Dan Chappell, was still lay
ing plans today for a vigorous fight
for the life of Duckworth, on the
contention that Ware, and not Duck
worth, killed the woman,
apparently the only evidence the
state possesses that Duckworth killed
his wife," said Mr. Chappell this af-
ternoon, lis his alleged confession.
Duckworth insists that he has never
confessed to the killing, but that he
told the officers he didn't know
whether he killed her or not, as he
was drinking and had no recollection.
He admits he told them, however,
when they informed him they had the
evidence on him, that if they said he
killed her he reckoned he did"

Not Atlanta's First Hoax.

The efforts being made in Atlanta
to apprehend the author of the
cruel hoax of which Vice-President
Marshall was the victim Sunday
recalls to the Georgian that it was
not the first work of mental de-
generacy that has deeply moved
that city.
During the war the public was
the victim of the wild ru-
NOR after another which brought
grief and suffering to hundreds
even thousands of persons.
There was the hoax that the
Seventeenth Engineers had been
lost at sea, a wild rumor current
for days at the actual time, it later
developed, that that organization
was on the seas.
. Then came the report, which
Spread like wildfre, that the Eigh-
ty-second Division had been an
Inflated.
Both hoaxes hurt deeply, for At
lanta loved its sons who were IN
both organizations.
During the influenza epidemic
last winter the city was demoral-
lied by lozen different wild exag-
erations.
Tumulty was put to death by
hoax; the water supply was pol
soned; half a dozen race riots have
been imagined; the President has
been slain several times.

ROME WATERS
 REFUSE TIPS

Rome, June 7.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press )---Rome wait CTS refuse to accept tips from patrons. Tips are vigorously suppressed and nothing can induce the walters to vio- late the practice. Their insistence on keeping to the regulations. however, is not motivated by any altruistic ten dencies for one of the Rome walters fourteen points, Is that 20 per cent. must be added to the total of the bill for service.
 An American, one of the latest ar rivals in Rome, who is attachef to the American embassy here, was pay ing his bill recently when, on leaving a tip of 90 cents for the waiter, he was astonshied to find the waiter handing the money back to him. The American immediately concluded that the tip was not considered sufficient and that it was therefore scorned. He was reaching into his pocket to re- inforce his gra tuity when someone speaking English told him of the Rome rule. Herewith he pocketed the tip and walked out.
 Large posters have been placed in the restaurants and tea-rooms here announcing the action of the walters. On the whole, the practice seems to have satisfied the patrons, who feel that they have, at least, been spared the annoyance of the inevitably dis gruntled waiter.
