The seeds of the Klondike cosmos
like those that grew so tall in the
church garden, and were admired by
passengers en- route, were once
grown here for the leading seed firms
by one of Georgia's adopted sons, a
native of Virginia. Those stopping
last fall to admire the variety may
stop now for plants, as Georgia soil
is productive and the garden most
generous.
This wouldn't be complete without
mentioning our grandmothers' cape
jasmines, this one an Alabama prod
uct struggling to become climatized
and grow into stylish gardenia, to
rival the tail gla-di-o-lii, and bright
delphiniums in name as well as
beauty. A smaller, but d finer plant,
q Georgia product, was purchased at
the curb market last Saturday, and
having been reset by careful hands is
sure to grow into perfection.
The old rose Gamma follows the
azaleas, and with the dahlias and
japanese iris make you wonder why
you should wish for any other flower
and which you shall pick first, and
which is the prettiest.
A stroll to the church garden will
give you pleasure as well as exercise,
and you'll be most welcome.

The rose of Sharon, easily grown
in Georgia, blooms in many colors in
the church garden, also ilies-of-the-
valley waiting for a cold winter to
bring out the pure sweet flowers that
seldom grow in this part Of the state.
When the garden was planned
sweet peas were left out because it
was thought the stems would be too
short for the church vases. But
visitor, who would plant English peas
and asparagus, said, "You haven't
any sweet peasy" The season came, a
place was prepared, seed obtained
from Georgia firm and duly and
properly planted. To prove the wis

Calvary Church Flower Real
Georgia Product Worth While

Is the church garden a Georgia
product? We think il is.
There are churches, that are one
Of many as 1.-The Little Church
Around the Corner" and The Old
North Church, and it may be that
the garden at Calvary church, Amer
icus, Ga, ia unique.
Bulbs, the first Showers to be
planted, grown luxuriantly by the
donor, brought with them the white
and gold so beautiful when used in
the church, and blooming just when
they are needed most. There is
nothing in the garden more beautiful
than its bulbs in bloom.
Then was planted the Olea Fra.
grams amid the Abelia hedge which
grows and grows while its friends
hesitate about extending it, and
which will be a JOY when crowned
by the Queens Wreath that is to
be planted behind it.
The rose bed, though sweet and
fair, cannot surpass the chrysanthe-
NUNS across the way. However it
feels no tinge of blight or envy, for
the pansies at its feet turn their faces
to let it know they are thinking of
1t, and bloom on and on for those
who come and go, while the Smith
favorites only flaunt their magnifi.
cence once in life time. But if
you like realism, they demand all
your time, get all your praise and
all your money, while the dear little
hearts-ease is the giver twice blessed
blooms best when giving most.
There are also in this garden lit
tie white lilies blooming around East
er day, the Easter lilies that bloom
later, the little pink fairy lilies that
grow in the garden, and the glorious
Sapelo lilies alawys so beautiful. Be
sides these there are white and red
Amaryllis given by those who love the
beautiful, and have a growing hand.
The latter descended from royal
line whose ancestors, if flowers have
such, grow in the garden Of one of
Georgia's sweetest and best women.
They have relatives in the church
garden, who are shy and timid about
blooming, but are as true as the kind
friends who gave them.
There is also a succession of iris

ATTORNEY RAPS
BIG HARRISBOND
Hollis Fort Declares Amount
Fixed On Indictment OF Old
Moonshiner Excessive

Bond of $4,000 in one case and
$1,000 in another was fixed by Soil
citor General julie FELTON, and ap-
proved by Judge Littlejohn yester-
day in Superior court on two indict-
ments returned against Tom Harris,
79-year-old moonshiner who was ar
rested at a big still near Hunting
ton last week. He was charged with
making liquor and having liquor. The
highest bond assessed in the largest
number of indictments on similar
charges was said to have been $500,
which caused Attorney Hollis Fort,
who has been retained to represent
Harris. to criticise the action of the
solicitor rather severely as unduly
discriminatory. Mr.. Harris was out
on $500 bond furnished at the time
of his arrest by Lee Johnson. Mr..
Fort declared. the bond assessed on
the indictments to be excessive and
really aimed at Mr.. johnson, who has
heretofore befriended Mr.. Harris and
Ids uGC1dIGu tlC Will uO 81 again do
a result of kindnesses done him and
his friends in times past by the old
man. 1t is understood the prosecu-
tor fixed the amount on the consid-
Grafton that Harris has been an old
offender and that small bond would
hardly be sufficient to bring him into
court again.
Attorney Fort stated that had
just bond been exacted he would have
had Mr. Harris on hand promptly to
make a new bond as is required when
an indictment is handed down, but
the old man has not thus far been
re-arrested and the attorney indicat-
ed his doubts under the circumstan-
ces that the sheriff or his aides would
be able to find.
Criminal gases were assigned this
afternoon by Judge Littlejohn and
counsel appointed for the large num-
Der of jail prisoners unable to hire
their defenders. Because of a num-
Der of arrests not yet having been
made, the list of indictments was not
given out by Sheriff Harvey.
The grand jury, after working
two days, recessed late Tuesday UNI
til next Wednesday morning.
