forty residents Of the vicinity Of

its outlet near the corner Of Claren-
don and Fort avenues, met at the

the drain and the proposal to extepd
it about 1000 feet into an uninhabited
section Of the town.
At the suggestion of DR.. Cox. who
gave comprehensive outline OF the
entire question, it was decided to or
the matter in businesslike way, so
that the best possible method Of
effecting a solution and pleasing all
concerned could be reached.
THE meeting then elected c. w.
Fitch as chairman and Carl J. Schuch
mittee. consisting of J. Thomas Man
ming. DR.. w. r. Boyer and E. e. Will
son. was appointed to serve with the
chairman in making a thorough In
vestigation and to report back to the

It was estimated that the cost OF ex-
tending the line would approximate
about $1,000, and one Of the first un-
dertakings Of the committee will be
to determine where to place the bur-
den Of the expenditure. Should the
users OF the drain be called upon to
pay the bill, 1t was pointed out, the
cost to the individual household would
be about $50. as 1t was said that there
| are about fifty homes having connec-
tions. An arrangement could be made
| 1t was announced, whereby the pro-
moters Of the extension would be par
| TALLY reimbursed when future connec-
| tions with the drain are made.
One speaker contended that 1T was
county proposition and financial as
sistance should be given by the board
Of supervisors. The committee was
| instructed to take up the matter with
the board and also to invite Super.
visor De Lashmutt, who is chairman
| Of the county board of health, to at.
tend the next meeting of the new
organization.

NEW YEAR'SGAY
At WASHINGTON
White House Reception,
However, Not Held
AS Is Custom

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The gov.
eminent machinery in Washington
paused today to greet the incoming
year. Despite the elimination of the
customary White House reception,
due to the presidents illness, other
features of the New Years observ-
ance. restored much Of the colorful-
Eess of the occasion in pre-war years.
Both houses of congress observed the
holiday, as well as all government de-
partments.
Instead Of the customary reception
at the White House, members of the
diplomatic corps were invited to a
reception at the home of Acting Sec.
rotary Davis, of the State Depart
ment, who was delegated by the pres.
ident to act in his stead. Informal
receptions were held by other cabi-
net officers and Secretaries Baker
and Daniels held "open house" to
receive New Years calls from the
public at large, as well as officers OF
the service.

Half Ton Of Meal Worth Ton
Of Seed As Fertilizer

MIR. FARMER, have you given
ave real thought to whether you are
doing the right thing in holding your
cotton seed for fertilizer, instead of
taking them to the oil mill and swap
ping them for meal to use for the
same purpose? Probably YOU have
given some good, hard serious
thought to the subject. But you
probably are of the opinion that ton
of meal is worth more, and prob
ably a little less, for fertilizer, than
a ton Of seed, and believe a swap
on the mill basis would be decidedly
to your disadvantage.
However, this seems not to be
fact. According to expert analysis,
a half ton of meal contains nearly
the same fertilizer ingredient that a
ton of seed contains. The mills
here are giving 1900 pounds of meal
for a ton of seed, which represents
a gain Of nearly so per cent, if this
analysis is correct, in favor of the
farmer. At the same time, it sup
plies the oil mill with raw material
on which to operate and employ
labor and manufacture a product
that will bring money into the South
instead Of going to waste in the
ground.

Dooly County Oak, Century
Old, 81 Feet Around At Base

R. A. Smith, a prominent mer-
chant of Leslie, has returned home
after srending several days with rel
atives in the old family home in the
southeastern part of Dooly county.
During his trip Mr.. Smith visited
many points of interest in that To-
cality, among which is tree on the
old John Cobb place in the Sixth
district of the county, which is known
certainly to be 100 years old. A
quaint bit of history connected with
this tree is that It was planted many,
many years ago, when Georgia was
one large plantation belonging to
only a favored few, by dashing
young chevalier OF the Cobb family,
who came up the avenue leading to
his stately home, and aIighting from
his horse, took the red oak switch
which he held in his hand and plant
ed it in tie ground where he stood.
From this slender sprig has devel-
oped one of the handsomest trees in
Georgia.
The tree measures ii feet and 8
inches in circumference 4 feet from
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-01-02

the ground, while it has a measure
ment Of 81 feet at the base. It does
not spread its branches high in the
air, but rather sends these out TO a
considerable circumference. Its
very first limbs are larger than the
body Of the average tree in its vi
cinity.
This handsome tree has outlived
ell the members of the original Cobb
family, not one being left in that To-
cality. The Cobb family residence
has Tong rince passed into the pos
session Of others, the present owner
being John C. Wood, whose children
play every day under the shade of
these sheltering branches.
The tron is on the Blackshear
road from CordeIe to Hawkinsville
and is one of the landmarks for the
guidance of travellers who come
through that part Of the state.
Mr.. Smith told of MANY other
interesting incidents of his visit to his
old home, the first in many years,
none of greater interest than the
story Of the tree.
