SUGAR PRODUCTION
100000 TONS LESS
CROP FOR 1928 ESTIMATED AT
100000 TONS. CONSUMPTION
EXCEEDS EXPECTATION.

Sugar production for the year 1928
will be nearly 100000 tons less than
for 1922, it is estimated by the COM
merce department in survey of the
world situation.
World production for 1923 is put
at 100000 tons as compared with
II, 100000 tons in 1922 when the con-
sumption was estimated at l8,360,000
tons and the carry-over into 1923 was
put at $4,000 tons as compared with
the carry-over of 100000 tons from
1921 into 1922.
The abnormal surplus OF Cuban
sugar existing last January the de-
partment declared, has apparently
been absorbed and in addition the
normal amount of the new Cuban crop
has been taken. Revised estimates Of
world production for 1922, the depart
ment added, are 100000 tons over
the earlier estimates, owing largely to
the unexpected size OF the Cuban
crop.
But this years consumption" the
department stated, also has exceeded
all predictions, both in the United
States and in Europe"

Negro $500 Damages
For Alleged Beating

Triton, Ga.-An unusual verdict
was returned at a special term of r.
win superior court, when a judgment
for $500 damage was rendered against
Lee Bussel, young white farmer, in
favor of a negro, Colonel Bishop. The
negro was suing for damages for as
sault and battery, which he alleged
was committed by Bussel and several
of his friends who the negro claimed
went to his house, called him out and
shot him twice
Bussel did not deny the assault, but
claimed that the negro insuted his
wife This the negro denied and as
serted that he had loaned Bussel a
gold watch which he refused to re-
turn, and that he took the matter up
with some white friends and they went
to Bussel about it. The assault fol-
lowed. Several white men testified to
the negro's good character.

NEBRASKA FAR WERS
WILL BURN COR N
SELVES AGAINST
COAL FAMINE. HARVEST
ING BUMPER CROP.

Farmers in Nebraska are not wor
rving about the strike of coal miners.
They are planning to load their old
barrel" stoves with corn, keep warm
and save money Burning corn has
been successfully tried before, but it
appears that this winter will see the
first wholesale use Of the new kind OF
fuel
Nebraska does not produce coal, oil,
gas or wood, and therefore has to de-
pend on outside sources for fuel. Some
suffering would result if the mines
were open at the present time, but
corn is. expected to bridge the gap.
Corn Is Cheaper Fuel.
Corn as fuel is cheaper than coal,
the farmers say. Coal sells IN the VI
cinity of SIS a ton, while corn brings
about 50 cents a buShel. 1t is cheaper
for the farmer to burn his corn than
to haul it to the railroad, sell it and
then haul coal back to his farm. Be
sides. the coal supply will be uncer-
tain this winter.
Seven million, five hundred thousand
acres in Nebraska are at work pro-
ducing the states fuel Tor the winter
The weather conditions of the last
few weeks are ideal for corn growing,
and bumper crop is expected.
Many Fortunes in Corn.
When the harvest season is ended
Nebraska farmers will have about
$150.000,000 worth of corn stored
away. it is estimated The crop is ex-
pected to near 25O,OOO,000 bushels, The
value of this crop would purchase
about 100000 tons OF coal, it is
said.
Ii Nebraska and its neighbor states
burn corn during the winter striking
coal miners will suffer There will be
shortage of corn and meat, corn beng
used to fatten cattle in that part OF he
country City jewellers also will not be
able to benefit by burning corn. Their
stoves are not fitted for such use, but
the old-fashioned barrel variety
burns corn as easily as coal.

FEDERAL INSPECTORS
PLACED UNDER BOND
SWORN OUT BY ECHOLS FAR
MER. ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
DIPPING DIFFICULTIES.

VALDOSTA, Ga.-Echols county,
the present battle ground between
dippers and anti-dippers in tick eradi-
caon work of federal authorities, eX-
perienced some new moves today.
Three federal inspectors, wearing
badges Of the bureau of animal indus
try were arrested on state warrants
charging them with trespass and they
are being held under $500 bond each,
and Judge w. E. Thomas, Of the SUI
perior court here, has granted an order
requiring the federal and state author
tiles to show cause before him why
they should not afford additional ia
cilities for cattle dipping in Echols
county.
Last Saturday, it is charged, three
of the inspectors wen upon the prem
Uses of ]. H. Howell, of Howell Sta
ton, and made search for cattle not
bearing the dip mark. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Howell objected to the search
and that temporarily he was placed
under arrest by the inspectors, who
liberated him when their search was
completed.
Following this Mr. Howell had war
rants issued for the men, charging
them with trespass.
DR.. Peter Bahnsen, state veterina-
rian, and DIR. S. ]. Horne, federal in
spector in Georgia, hurried here and
arranged bond for the three men in
the sum of $500 each.
Petition for injunction was filed be-
fore Judge Thomas, setting up that
cattle owners on the east side of Alap-
aha river had been summoned to drive
their COWS to the McKinnon vat, in
some instances requiring a drive OF
as much as twenty-four miles. Judge
Thomas issued an order that the de-
PENDANTS show cause on September 10
why closer watts should not be pro-
vided.
The petition sets up that the de
PENDANTS. DIR. Bahnsen, DR.. Horne and
J. c. letter have band OF twenty
men, armed with rifles, side arms and
machine guns, who are being en-
ployed in the plan to compel the
plaintiffs to drive their cattle an I'M
reasonable number OF miles for dip
ping. They aver in their petition that
they are willing and anxious to dip
their cattle if the proper facilities are
provided for them without driving
such great distances.

RECORD
OF JULY "DRUNKS"
DURING MONTH 629 WERE AR
RESTED ON STREET. ARGUS
ES BAPTIST EDITOR.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The report OF the
police department that 629 persons
were arrested for drunkenness on the
streets of Atlanta in July has aroused
comments from the ministry
Mark you," warns Editor L. D.
Newton in the current issue of the
Christian Index, Georgia Baptist or
gan, "the streets of Atlanta do not
include the drunken people in dance
halls who were hauled home in auto
mobiles or left behind closed doors to
sober. This does not include the
drunken gambler who tumbles from
his seat and lies in pool room I'M
til the sun rises and awakens him.
This does not include the drunken
men and women who violate the law
under the cover of private homes
where all night parties are held.
These are the poor fools who walk
out on the streets.
There is no time, however, to
flicker The light is on. The whisky
people are organized. They are get
ting some little encouragement here
and there, but they are fighting at
their last stand They know it and it
is going to be a desperate fight
I'VE do not know the records in
Savannah and Macon and Augusta and
Columbus for July. We would like to
have it to print alongside the Atlanta
record"
