Georgia Friend of Cox
Predicted Nomination

AUGUSTA, July 8-Governor Cox
of Ohio, Democratic presidential nom
inee, made reservations at the Bon
Air hotel here for the winter of 1920
21, as he was leaving in March, af-
ter his winter vacation.
While he was here his lifelong
friend, Judge Timothy L. Ansberry,
made an interesting prophecy bear
ing on national politics. 1t is related
in The Chronicle of June 13:
"Sure," said Judge Ansberry, one
day at the Bon-Air, discussing the
presidential campaign, "sure Cox is
going to be nominated for president:
and elected too"
where you get that sort of
stuff" fellow tourist flouted.
There is no other way out of it~
insisted the jhdge. "The Republicans
are going to nominate Senator Hard
ing; that's positive. The only man
who can beat Harding in Ohio is Cox.
Cox can beat any Republican who
shows his head in Ohio. He win beat
Harding for president; mark that"
The prophecy is on the way to COM
plete fulfillment.

SWIFT MANAGER
PRAISES SUMTER
MARKETING PLAN
Handles Hog Problem
Best of S. Georgia
Counties, He Says

Sumter county isn't the biggest
hog county in Georgia, but you peo-
pie here appear to be handling the
hog marketing problem better than
any county in our whole South Geor-
gia territory" H. Mcdowell, manager
of the Swift & Company's Moultrie
plant, who was here yesterday told
newspaper man. Mr.. Mcdowell, who
is an experienced hog buyer, was en-
thusiastic over the progress made by
Sumter county hog growers since the
inauguration of the industry here
S'Sumter county possesses many ao'
vantapes over other South Georgia
counties" he continued, I'm the fence
law, and all-year-round marketing
According to Mr., Mcdowell, no
county can raise hogs or cattle sue
cessfully without a fence law: wnlle
the all-year-round marketing teatur'
is the greatest single advantage Nos-
sessed by Sumter county farmers
SsYour county agent, George U. Mar
shall, has done great work IN TINS
direction" he said, "and should De
given credit for much of th2 pros,
perity enjoyed by farmers VINO sell
hogs in this market" .-
According to Mr.. Mcdowell, 10
ner cent of all the hogs raised, IN
Georgia are marketed when tney
weigh less than 100 pounds, Welgnt
which is improbable to the buyer
Statistics of the Department OF Agrl-
culture show the loss sustained IN
selling these hogs of less than IOOI
pounds weights represents l5,OOU,oVO
pounds of pork, whereas should theSe
same hogs be marketed at 2O0 POUNDS
weight. the weight at which they may
be most profitably sold, there woulo
he a gain cf the same amount, or l5'..
600 900 pounds of pork, the value OF
which can only be computed by com
narison with ruling market prlces.
Farmers in all parts OF Georgia
and the South heretofore have mar
kated their hogs in the winter when
nrices are at their lowest, according
r. Mr. Mcdowell, but in Sumter coun7
tv thew have already learned the &d-
vantage of all-year-round marketing,
and This has enabled farmers here to-
market their hogs at proper welghts'
Good nrices received by hog ralsers
here. he added, have been due IN
large part to the fact they nave peSH
able to sell in car-lots, through the
cooperative sale, and this feature
represents potential profit to ootn
blyer and seller.
1--WE are interested in knowing
how George Marshall managed toI
persuade Sumter county farmers To-
market their hogs in car-lots ana at
different seasons of the year., sad
Mr. Mcdowell, "and we want. hog
raisers in all parts of Georgia 10
know lust how he did the trick. For
This reason we have asked hlm TO
write his story of the feat, and we
are going to circulate this all over
the state. If Georgia hog raisers WI
ali learn to market their hogs at dlf-
ferent seasons instead of pushing
them into the market in the winter
When the demand is slack 1t viii
mean that the packers Will nave

while the farmers will get pettef
prices for their products, as Wen as
have an income distributed tnrough'

sues FOR AUTO
DOUBLY SEIZED
Car Awarded to Owner
Here Held BY u. S.
Officers

A hearing has been ordered for
July 10 before Federal Judge Evans
at Savannah, on the petition of Joe
S. Burgin, of Chattahoochee county
against G. W. Save and James A.
Fort federal prohibition enforcement
officers, in which it is alleged that
these officers conspired with Lucius
Harvey, sheriff of Sumter county to
confiscate a certain automobile, al
legged to be the property of Burgin.
The car in question was seized in Am
ericus some time ago by Sheriff Har-
vey, when in custody of r. D. Biv-
ins, an employe of Burgin, and a
small quantity of liquor found there
in. In a hearing of the confiscation
proceedings before Judge W. NJ. Har-
per in the City Court of Americus,
the car was restored to Burgin.
Following this proceeding the key
of the car was offered Judge Robert
L. Maynard, who represented Burgin
in the case, which he refused to ac-
cept, he says, until Harvey assured
him that he was through with the
case, and would take no further pro-
ceedings against the car. Soon after
wards, the petition recites, G. w.
Saye, a representative of Prohibi-
ton Enforcement Officer Fort,
seized the car and has since held
it. The specific allegation upon
which Saye bases his seizure is that
the car was used in the transporta-
ton of untaxed spirits, which brings
the question as to whether the pro-
ceedings before Judge Harper con-
stituted former jeopardy of the prop
erty.
The proceedings by the federal au-
thorities to confiscate the car, the
petition filed by Maynard & Will
Iiams alleges, were taken maliciously
by the federal officers, acting in con-
cert with Sheriff Harvey, and consti-
5ute an illegal proceeding. Sheriff |
