Sumter County Farmer
Abandons Cotton; Puts
Acres Into Hogs, Grair,

AMERICUS, Ga, Nov. 20.-Devot-
ing his entire farm of 200 acres to
the production of grain, cattle, poul-
try and hogs, J. H. Myers, living a
few miles west Of Americas, on the
Dawson road, is an ardent advocatU
of diversified farming in Georgia
Four years ago Mr.. Myers aban-
doned the production of cotton, and
last year devoted his entire farm to
raising corn, velvet beans, forage,
cattle and hogs. He has erected at
his home a modern farm refrigerat-
ing plant, having a 10000 pounds
ice capacity, and during the four
years he has used this, has not lost
single pound of meat in curing
The curing season with Myers is
when his hogs are fat, winter or
summer, his refrigerating plant en-
abling him to cure meat perfectly
at all seasons. Forty-eight hogs,
weighing from IT'S to 200 pounds
each, were recently killed and are
now in process of curing. Later
what is not needed on the farm will
be sold by him through the usual
channels.
In addition to raising large num-
bers Of swine, Mr.. Myers owns a
flock of 125 to $50 White Orping-
ton hens, which Mrs. Myers cares
for, and they have eggs for sale

AUTOS TABU ON .
BEST HIGHWAY
IN THE SAMOAS

APIA, Samoan Islands.-There is
where automobiles are "tabu," for
hidden. Strangely enough, it is the
largest of the group, the island of
Savaii. which occupies the singular
position in legend of being the era
die of the Polynesian race.
The deputy administrator of the
island, Dick" Williams, a genial
Irishman, is uncrowned king-the
sort. of man that has made South
Seas romance since the days of
daring voyagers who revealed these
island Edens to the world. He is
loved by every native and his word
is law. Practically the only other
white men on this island are trad
ers, or store keepers. @
williams succeeded In doing the
next to impossible in persuading his
native charges to build a road that
weary nearly encircles the island.
1t is a wonderful highway wide and
heavily turfed. Just the sort of a
road that saddle animals and light
wagons would find ideal. but with
Fords and other light cars running
over them constantly in wet weather
to them. Hence the edict that there
were to be no motor cars brought
to Savaii.
The native Samoan is not fond of
work. At least not the sustained
drudgery of the white man. There
fore the task of Dick Williams in
securing his road gangs was envied
by no one.
In one village the natives refused
to do their assessed portion unless
they were paid four shillings a day.
They were encouraged by certain
got money elsewhere for. doing work
Of this nature. In vain Williams
expla nd that this road development
was tor them alone, that no one
else would use the roads but them
selves. They were lbborn.
But the honorable deputy admin
istrator was full of resourcefulness,
He told off 80 prisoners from the
jail and marched them down to the
village and ordered them to set to
work on the road. The villagers sat
around and watched. But when they
learned that they were expected to
feed this huge body of men, it was
ed. The big boss had so. ordered,
dig into their taro plantations and
banana nato' =.
Finally, in desperation, the head
men Of this village went to Will
liams and begged him to take this
horde Of ravenous workers from the
village. They were willing and even
anxious now ~ build that road.
But the deputy administrator was
not interested. The work had to be
done and he had appointed men to
do it. In a country like Samoa,
where each village is responsible
for the good conduct of each man in
it, there was no escaping this pun
ishment. Stay there the prisoners
did, until the last shovel full of
dirt had been pounded into place.
The village was stripped clean of
foodstuffs before they were taken
away. No other village held out for
payment for the assessed ro"1 work.

CRAWLEY APPEAL
FOR NEW TRIAL IS
SATURDAY

GAINESVILLE, Ga, Nov. 20.-In a
long hearing here today, counsel for
George, Decatur and Rosa Crawley
and Blaine Stuart, convicted of kill
ing Deputy Marshal Ben H. Dixon,
in Union county. in January, 1919,
began their plea for new trial, on
the ground that two Of the Jurors
Of the original jury were Gisquali-
fed.
Attorneys Hughes Spalding and
John A. Sibley, of Atlanta, repre-
scented the defense, while Solicitor
General J. G. Collins, Of Blairsville,
and Howard Thompson, of Gaines
Vile, represented the state. Judge
]. B. Jones, of the Northeastern cir
cult, who presided at the first trial,
heard the plea. No decision was rem
and the judge will make his decision
within the next ten days.
Attorneys for the defense based
their plea on the ground that Frank
H. Spivey, one of the jurors, is a
cousin of the widow of Deputy Unit
ed States Marshall Ben H. Dixon,
who was killed in Union county in
d 1J4Jy anu lOI "lIIS1l IIlS
CrawIeys were convicted, and that
Luther Chasteen, a member of the
Jury, who has since died, is report
ed to have said after The trial that
it was his intention to convict and
hang the Crawleys If he was select
ed on the jury, and that the verdict
the jury brought in was the verdict
that he had intended to get before
he qualified as juror. AffidaWits
were read from a number of persons
in support of these contentious.
Judge Jones stopped the proceed
ings at one time, and declared that
had he known of any kinship exist
ing in the original trial he would
have stopped it, and declared mis-
trial.
Attorneys for the state sought to
have the new trial denied on eleven
grounds, claiming that they had not
been given twenty days notice, and
that the judge had no jurisdiction
over the contentious of the defense.
Just when Judge Jones will make
known his decision is not known,
but it is expected that it will be
within the next ten days or two
weeks. If he grants the motion, the
attorneys for the state will have no
appeal, but if he disallows 1t, the de-
tense can then appeal to the supreme
court, the last legal move they can
make in behalf of their clients.

That is what alternating amounts

Farmers Are Warned
To Protect Cotton
From Bad Weather

A very urgent warning to farmers
throughout Georgia to protect their
cotton from weather damage has
been issued by the cotton merchants
and brokers of Atlanta. The tone
of their statement indicates that
they may refuse to handle weather
damaged cotton this year..
They assert that Georgia farmers 19sf 5
lost $1OO,00O,O00 in 1918 from this
cause alone. Cotton left in the OPEN
exposed to rain. dirt and other d. dam n
aging exposures, loses from 10 to 50
per cent of it's value. With the cot
ton market sagging very low at the
point out, it is hard for a farmer to
get a satisfactory price for perfect
" clean cotton, much less for wealth

They urge the farmers to put their si
cotton in warehouses and take re
ceipts for it, or at least to put 1t
under shelter on their farms II kept

claims to have counted 1000 bales OF
exposed cotton between Macon ana

VANDERBILT BUYS
TOWN TOCHANGE
ITS PERSONALITY

OSSINING, N. Y.-How can the
personality of a town be changed?
Frank Vanderlip, international finan-
cier, didn't like the personality Of
Sparta, a town of thirty families, a
little way from here, and so he
bought it.
Now he plans to make it over until
it's moral tone suits him.
Sparta has always been drink
ing town.
It was a crossroads inn town dur
ing the Revolution, and, if common
report is correct, one still may find
the fluid that burns and cheers.
George Washington often stayed at
it's inn and the man, Who invented
the Monitor lived at Sparta. These
facts attracted Vanderllp thirty
years ago.
Foreign Population
The original colonial stock of the
town has vanished and in it's place
has come polyglot population drawn
from Italy, Sweden, Russia and Hun
gary.
81 never could understand Sparta's
low standard of living Vanderlip
at Scarsboro-on-Hudson, few miles
away, tried to raise the standard by
giving things to the Spartans. That
kind Of charity failed. Every other
plan to make Sparta a better town
failed also.
I'm going to try a new plan. I'm
going to build some model tenements,
remodel the present buildings and
give them modern conveniences, in
Guiding sleeping porches."
The only other time man tried to
reform a town by buying it, the at
tempt failed. A millionaire bought
a western mining town that had a
bad reputation. He replaced the orig
ina1 inhabitants with those of his
| choosing, but in few years the
new folks were worse Shan the old
His experiment failed, it is said, be-
cause there wasn't enough fresh
blood in the town. The people all
knew each other and feuds and fights
developed.
Nearly all Of the thirty families Of
Sparta are intermarried. Everybody
is a relative of everybody. They are
a suspicious folk and I found them
unwilling to talk of their town or of
| Vanderlip's plan. Vanderlip will pro-
tect his experiment from the same
failure that occurred in the west by
taking measures to keep transients
coming to the town and townspeople
