AMERICUS WINS HEART
OF DIR. w. S. KEISTER

DR.. and Mrs. w. S. Keister, and
little son Billy, who have been spend
ing the holidays with Mr.. Keister's
parents, DR.. and Mrs. B. c. Keister,
left for their home in Charlottes-
vile, Va, Tuesday night.
DR.. Keister is in the Public Health
Service of Virginia, and is on the
program for an address before the
Virginia Public Eealth association,
which is in session at this time.
During his short visit here DR..
Keister enjoyed the splendid roads
in and around Americus, and most
of all the delightful climate. With
flowers blooming in the well kept
gardens in the city, and the trees
green and in full leaf, he said that it
was indeed mental picture to take
back with him to his native state.
He jocularly remarked that the eli
mate of Americus not be surpassed,
even in "Ole Virginny." He also
appreciated the cleverness and hos
pttal.ty e TIE Georgia people, which
reminded him of the folks at home,
and he felt the influence of the tie
which. binds the two states:

.SUMTERCOTTON
in FULL BLOOM
And Boil WeeviI Flourishing In
Every Boil, Alton Mills
Reports

Cotton is blooming in profusion in
the fields of Alton Mills, in the 18th
district, southwest of Americus, he
reports, with the boil weevil flour
ishing in the heart of every bloom.
This word came from Mr.. Mills
following the return here a few days
ago from Worth county of Thad
Glover with q stalk full of cotton
blooms, which were shown about the
streets by Col. w. T. Lane. Mr..
Mills informed Mr.. Lane that Worth
county had nothing on Sumter, as
he had oodles of cotton blooming on
his place.
The absence of weather cold
enough to kill the cotton stalks at
any time, and the recent prevalence
of warm weather conducive to grow
ing is the explanation for the un-
usual development.

CHINESE FARM A
TIFTON NOVELTY
The Gongs Grow Vegetables For
Marketing Among Country

Triton, Dec. ga novelty in
the trucking business in this section
is a 2O-acre farm three miles north
west of Tifton, where Chinese vege-
tables are grown by Cinnamon for
market in those cities where there
is a large Chinese population. The
owners are the Gongs, Joe Sing and
Joe Fat, successors to the original
Joe Gong, who started a laundry bus
mess in Tifton nearly 20 years ago
and who was very successful. Failing
in health, he returned to China two
years ago, but the younger men seem
to be making money as he did. They
bought a farm Of 150 acres and
built modern residence thereon
with a Delco lighting system and
other improvements. Thirteen Tiff
ton business men were their guests
for dinner the day after Christmas
and they say the roast turkey, cook
ed Chinese style with the genuine ar
tlcle of chop suey could not be

The Gongs planted 20 acres in veg

.FORDHUNTS QUAIL;
LAWYER STEPS ON
RABBIT; LISTEN!

Two Of the most remarkable tales
of achievement, both of which ex-
periences are said to have taken
place last Monday while the Christ
mas holiday was being generally OBJ
served and celebrated, have just
come to light. One of them comes
from the lips of Sheriff Harvey, a
man noted for his sobriety and gen.
eral probity; the other from R. L..
Maynard, whose reputation in that
direction is less substantial, he hav-
ing once before come home from
Florida and related seeing cow
with moss growing from her horns
and subsequently, being tried in the
famed masolory court for romancing.
According to Sheriff Harvey he
was returning last Monday from Mill
ledgeville where he lrd taken pris-
oner. Between Oglethorpe and
Montezuma, some time after dark,
and just as they passed another car,
he called to his driver to stop their
Ford and back up few yards. The
sheriff alighted and picked up two
quail, one of them still quivering.
He brought them home and Mrs.
Harvey cooked them for the sheriff's
supper. And do you know?" the
sheriff afterwards remarked, she
told me there wasn't a shot in either
birds" The sheriff said he supposed
possibly the birds had fallen from the
car, although the absence of any shot
rather dispels this theory.
Col. Maynard, hearing the sheriff's
story, reported being out hunting
Monday afternoon and bringing in
two rabbits without firing a shot.
One of them, he said, his companion
hit ON the head with the butt of his
gun, catching it sitting in it's bed"
The other, Col. Maynard seriously as.
serted, he stepped upon. just how,
he did not explain sufficiently at the
time, although he denied he was be-
ing pursued and trampled the bunny
when it got in his way.
"But that's nothing" said Mr..
Maynard. II have nephew who
used to be able to pick 'em right up
out of the "bed;" he just had a knack
of reaching down and grabbing 'em
by the leg" ..-.....s. ...-......,..-..
And everybody laughed.

POINTS WAY TO
PEACE BETWEEN
TOWN AND FARMS.
Compromise By Both Merchants
And Producers Essential, Says
Gillette

PITTSBURG, Dec. 29-Townspeo-
ole and farmers must put themselves
in an attitude of making concessions
or as an alternative, cooperative
stores established by combinations of
farmers will ultimately drive local
mel chants out of the business, John
M. Gillette, of the University of
North Dakota told the members of
the American Sociological Society at
it's annual meeting here today.
That organizations Of farmers
has intensified the strife between
city and country is generally recog-
1iized by students of the subject, !"
continued Dr. Gillette. 'Too often
the blame is attached exclusively to
the farmers as if they have no rights
of protection. 1t is not always
perceived. that the business elements
Of cities have been organized as a
prcfit-getting class for long time
and that the tendency is for ali these
elements to present united front
when ameliorative agricultural legis-
lation is proposed or when farmers
attempt cooperative enterprises.
IF the farmers are right in their
contentious that they received an
unduly small proportion of the pro-
-ceeds from their produce, then they
have a right to organize both eco
nonically and politically to protect
their interests. But be it remember
ed that their cooperative efforts
evoke about as much hostility as do
their political attempts.
There are many directions for
farmers and townsmen to take in
their teamwork together. Good roads
are mutually desirable. Both sides
have common interest in promot-
ing local industries. They make
nearby markets for certain kinds of
farm produce and serve as the basis
of diversified farming.
'Since it is chiefly over matters
of trade that country and town are
arrayed against each other, the ques-.
ton arises as to how they. can COM
pose their differences. The local
merchant insists that farmers and
other consumers should patronize
home industries and grow quite bit
ter over buying from mail order
houses. The farmer, in turn, insists
that local prices, of the things he buys
are too high and for things he sells,
too low.
eff both sides will be- sensible and
fair, there is a basis of compromise;
but townsmen and farmers must put
themselves in the attitude of making
concessions. The farmers should not
be expected to sacrifice, all of their
gains from buying mail. order hous-
es, for example: nor should they ex-
pect small merchants to meet the
prices of such huge and efficient
establishments. The merchant should
be willing to cut prices and farmers
to pay margin for local conven-'
ienee.
''The alternative would appear to
be the development of cooperative
stores by farmers that will ultimately
drive local merchants out of business.
The latter would become managers
of and statesmen in such undertake
ings.
