CEORC|ANS ARE BEATING
THE BOIL WFEvIL

Mr.. A. l.. Luce, of the Clarendon
Motor Company, has turned over to
us two letters which he has received
from two banks in Georgia. These
sections are in the boil weevil districts
of Georgia and shows how these peo-
pie are alive to the situation and are
striving to their utmost to pull them
selves "'out of the hole," in which the
weevil has gotten them. 1t would be
well for our people to read these let
ters carefully and each individual find
just what crop to plant that he can
successfully market.
We do not agitate the non-planting
of cotton, (as this is cotton country
but we do believe that our farmers
should cut the acreage and get the
seed in at the earliest possible time.

care Clarendon Motor Company,
Manning, S. G.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your inquiry of the 9th,
we regret exceedingly that your sec
tion is suffering from heavy infesta-
tion of the boil weevil. We, ourselves,
are hit by them again this year, but
we are not depending on cotton as we
have in the past.
Our. farmers have learned to diver
sify, and are taking advantage of the
local enterprises Which we are for
tunate enough to have that will take
care of their farm produce We have
one OF the very best Packing Plants
South of Omaha, Nebraska, operated
by Swift & Company Of Chicago. Our
farmers have learned to raise hogs
and cattle, and they find ready mar
ket the year around.
we. nave canning plant which
takes care of the surplus stock of
Sweet Potatoes, and at this season of
the year they can quite a bit of Bell
Pepper, which our farmers have learn
cd to raise successfully and at good
profit.
We also have one of the very best
Creamcries in this part of the state,
furnishing ready market for their
sweet and sour cream. They are lust
completing q tremendous COndenSinp
Plant, and will in a very short time
be prepared to take care of any milk
they might be furnished. A GOOD
many of our farmers have taken ad-
vantage of this opportunity, and are
putting in small Dairy Herds which
they are finding profitable.
Our Grain Elevators furnish mar
ket for their surplus corn, peanuts
and velvet beans, Of which we raise
good crop each year.
We also have several sweet potato
curing houses, and they are prepared
to handle all the surplus stock of
sweet potatoes which we grow, and
winch are sold by the producers at a
good profit.
We have many other advantages
which help our farmers out, and with
IN few more years we can farm sue
ceSStullY down here without planting
4 hill Of cotton.
We enclose herewith little book
let gotten out by the Moultrie Cham
Der OF Commerce, which will give YOU
brlcf idea of our town and county.
We should be very glad to have YOU
and your party visit Moultrie, and I
VIII assure you in advance that you
will be accorded every courtesy during
your visit, and we believe it will be
very beneficial, and that you will re-
turn to your section with information
that will certainly help your commun-

Prisoner Breaks Jail

Ray Tibbetts of West Gardiner
was taken into custody Thursday
night by Night Watch Cusick, on a
warrant issued some months ago
when Tibbetts is said to have made
use of. an auto. which he had no
right to. Officer Cusick is a large
man, with heart correspondingiy
as large. The prisoner was a well
appearing chap and the officer
locked him in the woman's cell, as
the quarters were much more COM
Portable and far better furnished
than the cells in the rear of the sta
ton. He then began to work the
wires so that the prisone would have
nothing to complain Of When he
left the prisoner Immediately got
busy and with a chair round taken
from one Of the chairs. pried the
iron bars apart enough so that he
could enter the court room. The
rest was easy.
Later is was discovered that the
bird had flown. Never again."

prisoners look alike to me and out in
the dark cells in the rear they GO"
