IMPORTANT INDUSTRY MAY
BE DEVELOPED IN RANDOLPH
Central Railroad Is Having Clay and
Mineral Products Tested.

In his talk before the Randolph
County Advertising Club the other
night Mr.. ]. D. Mccartney, assistant
to the president Of the Central railway,
impaired some information of interest.
it will be remembered, by some Of
our readers at least, that some months
ago the Central authorities sent to a
place in Ohio considered headquarters
for the testing of clays. etc, a number
of samples -of mineral products OF
Randolph and adjacent counties.
A considerable sum was set aside tor
making thorough tests of the minerals
in question, sufficient for the purpose,
it was thought. Developments have
proved that more time is needed, prob
ably several months, and the railroad
has appropriated more money for these
experiments.
MIR. Mccartney stated, however,
that very encouraging reports have
been received.-Cuthbert Leader.

What Farmer Gets Out
Of a Loaf of Bread
Striking Example of Costs and Profits
Before 1t Reaches Family Table.

A loaf of bread, the joint congress
sional commission on agricultural m
ouiry says in a report just published,
offers a striking example OF what hap
pens to the farmers product in the
wav OF costs and profits before 1t
reaches the family table.
About so cents out of each dollar
the consumer pays for bread the re-
port saws. is absorbed in cost OF dis
tribution. The farmer gets only Z9.o
cents in the local market for the wheat
needed to produce it. A survey showed
that the average cost Of getting the
wheat ready for the baking stage was
.8.4 cents, while the average cost OF
manufacturing it into bread was 1910
cents.
cost of distribution, which averages
.1516 cents of the consumers dollar,
is the service element" said the re-
port.
the manufacturing baker has exacted
an undue profit in taking the So cents
from the consumers dollar for manu-
featuring bread and distributing it to
the retailer.

.BLALOCK RAKES IN
PROFIT FROM FIGS
FORMER REVENUE COLLEC-
TOR WILL MAKE OVER $500
FROM HALF ACRE LAND.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A. O. Blalock,
formerly collector of internal revenue
for Georgia, on yesterday brought to
Atlanta from his home at Fayetteville
the first tree-ripened figs of the sea
son, and obtained for them price that
beats cotton fourteen ways.
Twelve baskets of figs were sold to
a prominent store for dollar basket,
this being above the normal m1d-sea-
son price, because the figs were the
first to arrive. During the remainder
of this week Mr. Blalock expects to
gather from his fig orchard OF one-hali
acre. enough figs to beat the largest
possible production OF cotton on the
same space of ground, even without
the boil weevil to combat.
"On the two full crops this year,
said Mr.. B1alock yesterday to friends
in the state capitol, Il will gather
from $500 to $500 worth OF figs, and
that is from one-ha1f an acre of ground
mind YOU. | am satisfied that twenty
acres would support me. am gong
TO plant twenty acres in figs on a
piece of land | recently bought IN Full

Figs, berries and similar crops are
the best things our people can plant

TWO AMERICAS MEN
DIE IN FLINT RIVER
SWIFT TIDE BROWNS SWIM
MER, AND FRIEND ATTEMPT
ING RESCUE LOSES LIFE.

AMERICUS, Ga.-With a barrier
of wire fencing stretched across the
stream at Murray's ferry bridge, on
the Anericus- Vienna-C ordele highway
searching parties dragged Flint river
all Thursday night, all Friday and Fri
day night for the bodies OF Arthur
Mize and Foy Owens, Americas men,
who were drowned late Thursday af-
ternoon Hundreds assisted in the
search. The bodies were not recovered
until Saturday morning, when they
rose to the top of the water after be-
ing submerged 80 hours.
Mize and Owen, with Allen Chap
pell and Wallis Mott, went to the riv-
er for a swim.
Encountering an unexpectedly swift
current Mott swan to the Dooly side
of the river and Chappell to the Sum
ter side, where a boat was anchored.
Mize and Owen, apparently enjoying
the sport, remained in the stream
swimming against the current, but
without making Roadway.
Suddenly Mize called Come get
me-" Owen swan to his assistance and
Chappell began cranking the motor
boat to go after him. Owen then sank
beneath the water and Mize disap-
peared in few minutes. Chappell, I'M
able to assist saw both men drowned.
Mott, standing across the stream, was
unable to see because of a small island
near the center of the river
Mize was a grocer here, and the
son of Hugh Mfze, vice president of
the Empire Bank of Americas. He

Few Persons Fill the
Golfers of Uncle Sam
Report Shows That Many Failed tc
Make Income Tax Returns.

Report Shows That Many Failed to
Make Income Tax Returns.
That the taxes which go into the
government treasury are beng pad
in very large part by the comparative
ly few is plainly set forth in 1gures
compiled by the New York Globe,
which claims that fifteen to twenty
million persons failed properly to re-
port their incomes in 1921. 1t esti-
mates the amount which should have
been reported, and was not, at the the
staggering figure of $4,000 100000
during the past FIVE years. OF nearly
six and one-half million farmers-own-
ers and renters-less than SIX per cent
reported an income of over $1,000 in
the wear 1919 which was by no means
a bad year agriculturally. Among the
wage earners the percentage was only
one-eighth Of one per cent. The nVes-
tigation showed very little disposition
on the part Of the rich to evade proper
returns. Doubtless thousands OF the
smaller taxpayers failed to report
through sheer inability to make out
the income tax report, which battles
even the best lawyers.

Be Kind to the Toad;
One of Your Best F riends
Bought by the Hundred by Gardeners
Throughout England.

In his homely, mud-brown coat, the
poor toad has long been an object OF
aversion. Many boy and girl speaks
of some hideous thing as being as
ugly as a toad" Yet if you but realiz-
ed it he is one of the most useful SER
wants we have, so what difference if
he isn't really beautiful?
There is no truth whatever in the
belief that handling the toad causes
warts. There is no magic in his cold
little body to produce such an effect.
He has but one means of defense,
milky, acrid fluid that he elects
through his smooth skin when fright
ened or disturbed. This fluid irritates
the mucous membrane and for that
reason a dog that attempts to bite
toad will often show distress. But his
worst enemies, owls and hawks, ami
mails that habitually eat the toad, are
not annoyed by this.
The toad is great eater. He con-
sumes in "a hours an amount of food
equal to four times the capacity Of his
stomach. OF this at least three-hfths
consists of insects harmful to vegeta
ton, and include cutworms, army
warns, house flies and rose bugs.
Gardeners are gradually learning
that it is worth while to keep colonies
of toads in their gardens. English
gardeners buy them by the hundred.
The toad, however, has so strong a
homing instinct that unless he is
brought from a great distance, he will
promptly hop back home when re-
leased The carrier pigeon or freside
cat are not more welded to their
homes than he By raising toads, this
difficulty is overcome, for the place
where they leave the water as toads is
always home to them. There are rec
ords of toads having lived in one gar
den for 20 or 80 years, and in one
English garden the same toad resided
for SO years.
So, if you find toad in your garden,
do not destroy or modest him. He is
not only harmless but helpful and if
your plants could speak they might
tell you of his service to them. Look
into his jewel-like eyes, at his wide,
almost smiling mouth, and you will
forget the rest of the ugly dirt-colored
body, whose color is the toad's best
protection.

What the Burglar Does
When He's Not Busy

Over Dishonesty of Victims.


Over Dishonesty of Victims.
NEWARK, N. J.-What does a
burglar do when he's not busy bur
glarizing?
Joseph Thompson, confessing to be-
ing a prominent member of the pro-
fession, now under arrest, answered
the question here today. A burglar
passes a large part of his time off the
job reading crime stories in the news
papers and shaking his head over the
dishonesty of the victims of the bur-
glars operations, said he.
After each successful burglary,
Thompson said he would at the first
opportunity provide himself with all
the newspapers likely to report the
case and look for the victims estimate
of his or her loss
"Wowl How they exaggerated"
said the prisoner. 1T sure did hand me
a laugh to read how they lied about
the amount of stuff they lost. Why,
sometimes it was so unfair it was no
laughing matter. 1t used to make me
sad when | read about the false claims
and thought of how much dishonesty
there was in the world.
