Modern Potato House for County.

G.. w. Gignilliat, Of Seneca, has
recently completed the erection Of a
standard sweet potato house on his
farm two miles below Seneca, on the
Shiloh road. This house has capa-
city Of 1000 bushels, thus making
It the largest house in the county.
The building is built entirely on gov
crnmcnt plans, with one slight ex-
ccpiion--the style Of oeiling-but
tho ceiling Is double-wallcd and
should serve the purpose equally as
we'll in controlling the temperature
OF the room.
The potatoes will be stored in
standard sweet potato 'bushel crates,
and one thousand Of these crates
have already been purchased by Mr..
Gignilliat. An exhibition OF one Of

What Farmers Arc Doing.

Jas. II. Moore, Of Long Creek, has
a fine field Of Mammoth Yellow soy
beans which were four feet high and
tapping the rows two weeks ago. Mr..
Moore states that he has been grow
ing them for six years. His two-acre
field shows that he knows something
about growing them. The dreaded
Mexican bean beetle was beginning
to work on them, but had already
damaged the peas nearby to a great
er extent, showing his preference for
peas ahead Of soy beans. The finest
sort Of cabbagcs and Lookout Noun
tain Irish potatoes thrived on this
place. Mr.. Moore and others Of this
section Of the county could make q
splendid showing at tho County Fair.

dence near Newry.
Mr.. Foster/states that three years
before he sowed this field. in alfalfa
! it was nothing but a piece Of raw
and rugged land-a typical red hill
side Of Oconee. But with two or
! three years Of Sowing down" with
peas in summer and rye and rye and
vetch in winter, the good old soil
came back. Manure was also used
literally in building up this run
down soil.
81 sowed one and three-quarters
acres, seeding it about Sept. Goth, :"
says Mr. Foster. 81 began preparing
The land in January by taking out
stumps and scattering manure the
preceding year. Then sowed peas
and then rye> for the land. Turned
the land in March with tractor and
disc plow, and then narrowed it. In
| May l sowed three bushels of peas.
In August these vines were cut un-
der with disc harrow.
''Five tons Of ground limestone
per acre was applied just preceding
the sowing Of the peas, and 1000
pounds Of acid phosphate per aore
also.
'"Then the peas were cut with disc
harrow and turned under with trac-
tor and disc. The field was harrow
ed several times before seeding, thus
allowing the soil to become settled
and make the seed bed fine on top.
The alfalfa was seeded Sept. 20.

POLICE WAR ON
AUTO v|0LAT0RS
Thirty Crowd Magistrates Court in
Answer to Summons; One
Second Offender Fined.

C. P. Collins, 40 Sala flats, paid
a fine of SIS and costs in police
court last night as a second Of
fender against the city ordinance
regulating the parking of automo-
biles. He parked his car without
lights.
The police station at $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon was crowded
with 80 offenders held for viola
ton of the parking ordinance.
They were the grist of 24-hour
drive by the city police against
wrong parking or ranking of cars.
Practically all of them went in an
swer to the pink summons slips
which had been pasted on their
windshields by officers who found
their cars wrongly parked.
Parking at night without lights
and parking in areas restricted by
mo parking signs were the two
most common offenses, though 9TH
er offenders had left their cars
standing too long in restricted
parking districts or had left them
headed the wrong way on the sides
of streets.
First offenders were released
with reprimands and were warned
that their second appearance in
court on a similar charge would re-
suit in fines. The police, they were
told, have been instructed to en-
force obedience to the parking
rules and other traffic regulations
to the letter, as safety measure.

her most ravishing possessions a

and cuffs of ermine.
The writer's first glimpse OF her
as she came down the aisle from
the diner was that of a fair haired,
sylph-like woman, with an ardent
face outlooking like a star. She
was dressed in a tight fitting gown
of blue cloth, made with long
sleeves and yestee of blue chiffon,
embroidered in wool On her curly
head was a jaunty tricone of black
straw, with a white breast at one

voice was husky but the magic
word "Virginia"-from which state
the writer also hails-set her
sparkling. Pushing aside her per-
sonal attendant, who was by her
side insisting on her nap, she piloted
me straightway into the drawing
room, firing rapid fire questions
about relatives in Lynchburg and
Richmond, and old Albermarle.
During the interview, which is an
other story, Lady Aston asked as
many questions as she answered.
She is keenly interested in every
thing going on here and this inter-
est is shared by Lord Aston, who
chaperoned and supplemented the
talk. He was constantly digging
under the seat for large MANILA en-
velopes bullying with facts and fig
ures.

would caution, and out from the en-
velope would come the exact data
concerning the question under dis
cussion. He kept close watch on
the time, finally calling out that we
had but two minutes left before the
station at which we were to alight
would be reached.
AS she tied the narrow strong belt
about her slender waist and adj
justed her corsage of sweetpeas,
Lord Aston ran a proudly apprais-
ing eye over his liege lady. And as
they stepped off the car into mob
of reporters and clicking cameras
the last thing l saw as the train
pulled out was Waldorf standing
by and smiling it through with
