FIGHTING To RETAIN
|. H. & F. s. RAILROAD

CAMILLA, Ga. June 16.-The
fight to prevent the dismantling of
the H. & F. S. railroad from Haw-
kinsville to Camilla has taken defin-
ite form and all along the line pa
irons are organizing to fight to re-
tain the road. A local man for
each county through which the road
traverses has been named to look
after and head the fight against
abandonment. The head men for the
seVral counties met IN Ashburn Mon
day and B. Gillian. secretary Of the
Macon Chamber of Commerce. was
selected to direct the cause for all
the co-ordinating bodies and units
opposing the plan to dismantle, and
he was given full authority to as
semble the local and county head
men whenever he thought it neces-
sary.
All the leaders of the forces for
the counties involved were present
as follows: J. w. Butler, Camilla,
for Mitchell; F. B. Waterman, Haw-
kinsvi4le, for Pulaski; N: G. Houston
and C. w. Hillhouse, of Sylvester, for
Worth; j. l.. Evans, of AShburn, Tor
Turner, and L. J. Morgan, OF Pine
view. It was decided to take an APP
praisement Of all the property ada.
cent to and on the II. & F. S. as OF
the time the road was built now and
a working basis. 1t was contended
by some present that there was no
effort in good faith being made 20
get business by the road officials,
and an example at Camilla was spe-
cially cited where eight or ten saw
mill operators had expressed desire
to load at the Camilla terminal, but
could not on account of begging Of
trucks, and that the road officials
failed and refused to mend the load
ing places, although it would not
take over $500 to do so.
A request has been made of the
Interstate Commerce commission to
have the hearing on the petition Of
Receiver Pegram to dismantle heard
in Georgia.
At a meeting largely attended by
the chamber of commerce Of Sylves-
ter Monday night the actions Of their
local leaders at Ashburn was APPROX
ed and additional steps were maui
gurated to get together the desired
informatS6p agreed upon as being
necessarSA Letters were read both
at AshburMARnd Sylvester indicating
that the Ge6NAia- Railway commission
was helping t6@hold the road for the
section.

Rain Saved Crops
From Damage After
"a DAYS of Drought

With a drought record Of 20 years
standing equaled, heavy rains fell
on Fulton county Wednesday after
noon, and saved gardens and crops
which were on the verge of destruc-
ton by the hot sun. Atlanta had ex-
perienced "a days Of dry weather.
C. r. Won Hermann, the local
weather man, forecast partly cloudy
skies for Thursday and Friday,
with little change in temperature,
apd little CHI &nce for more rain.
1--WE had ITO inches of rain Wed
tuesday," said he. This was a good,
soaking shower, which corrected in
full measure the long period of
drought. 1t poured internationally
from 3 o'clock until midnight. set
tied all the dust, watered all the cot
ton and farm truck, and gave the
trees and shrubbery a new lease on
life. 1 believe another week of dry
weather would have done great
deal of damage.
Reports received at the weather
office indicate that the dry spell did
small damage, as it was. In most
cases the farmers prepared for it
| by good cultivation. Many city gar
dens were saved by the hose. 1 am
/ hoping that evening showers will
come at the edn of the week and save
use from more dust. The forecast for
Georgia promises local showers at
intervals throughout the warm sea-
Son--as usual.
"The maximum temperature We'd

we registered 72, few degrees lower
than Wednesday and Tuesday. Well

Upper Carolina
Mill Executives
Expect No Strikes

GREENVILLE, s. c., June 16:--
Cotton mill executives of GreenVllle
and upper Carolina have no appre-
hension of a possible strike Of op-
aratiyes in this section, according to
several of the leading textile men OF
Greenville, who declared that the re-
lationship existing between mill
managements and operatives are OF
the most cordial kind.
B. E. Geer, president or Judson
Mills, and thta in his opinion there
is no likelihood Of a strike in local
mills and that he felt that the OPP
eratives were perfectly willing to
cooperate with teh mill manage
ments in keeping operating CO SITS as
low as possible Mr.. Geer stated that
there was no union organization
among local mill operatives to the
best Of his knowledge.
Wages Of operatives in local mill $
have been reduced an average Of
about % per cent within the last
nine months, according to calcula-
lions made recently by local mill
man. Operatives seem perfectly con-
tented arr '"Dpy under the present
scale and conditions, said Mr.. Geer.
The fact that most of the mills are
going forward with welfare work
and are constantly adding features
for comfort and convenience of the
workers is believed to have no little
Influence in keeping the population
of the mill communities in a cheerful
frame of mind with regard to neces-
Sary establishments of wages.

Realize Good Returns
Goats milk did it.

crate for the culls, to $500 per crate
for the choice cukes. The growers
are very we'll satisfied with the re-
turns, even though the express and
freight charges are so heavy. Ex-
press shipments to Georgia and Flor
ida points, also points north, have
brought good returns.
Among the growers loading in the
car shipments were: Dyer & DENLY,
Coleman Plant company, Fincher &
Vernon and Paul Fulwood. A few
and peppers have been loaded in the
cuke cars, and all have brought good
prices. The shippers have been very
careful about proper packing and
sorting, they were also particularly
careful to plant the kind of seed
that produce the desired varieties of
cucumbers.
Tiff 'county's second carload of
melons was loaded at miss Tuesday
afternoon by III. H. Tiff, Jr. This
car is to be sold through the South
west Georgia Watermelon Growers

Men on Fourth Floor;
Prisoner Tells Of Record

Detectives David Lambert and August

The encounter was witnessed by hun

Six detectives of the East Twenty
