mer Encouragement for the govern
orship and N. H. Ballard for state SUI
perlntendent of schools Saturday all
prospects for quiet political season

Fitzgerald's New Team
Is Now Organized
New Team Organized and Down To
Hard Practice Now

The management of the Fitzgerald
team has gone to lot of expense and
trouble to get the new team together
1t is bunch that any city should feel
proud to have with them and they
are all good players. With just a game
or two more together and there is no
team in South Georgia that will be in
their class. They have played two
games so far. Winning one of them
from Douglas and losing one to Ocilla
so they have made good start. Come
out to the games and root for the boys
and they will show you how to win.
But without your support at the gate
it will be impossible to keep a team in
Fitzgerald.
Following is the lineup for the team
Wright, catcher of Eastman.
Smith Pitcher and right fielder OF
Douglas.
Rainey, pitcher and right fielder OF
Triton.
Hamilton, Pitcher and right fielder
of Cordele.
Pittman, first baseman of Rebecca
Bennett, short stop of Cordele.
Hobbs, Third baseman, local boy
Harrell, Left Fielder, local boy.
Mccall, Center fielder of Rebecca.
We play Nashville here Thursday
afternoon, Sylvester here Friday after
noon. Games for next week will bt
announced at later date. There will
be at least two, maybe more play
ed at home next week with some fas
South Georgia teams, so everybody
come out and watch your home team
win some snappy games.

Georgia Fills Quota
For The Marines

ATLANTA,-For the third consec-
utive month Georgia was the first
Southern state to fill its quota of en-
listments, which was made possible
when Capt. George Bower, U. S. M.
G., recruiting officer, accepted 40
Southerners in the Marines for scFv-
ice.
Starting out with the second highest
quota in the United States for May,
the Marines on duty at the local office
at room $40 Postoffice building have
interviewed more than $50 applicants
of which number 200 were examined
and only 40 could pass the required
physical examination. According to
Captain Bower, applicants who desire
to enlist will be accepted and trans
ferred until further notice, as several
States Rave failed to fill their quotas
and these will be helped by the Allan
ia office.
Many ex-service men are returning
to the ranks, as more than half of those
accepted this month have had from
one to sixteen years service in either
the army, navy or marines.
The following Gcorgians were
among the successful applicants. Her
bert G. Landlord, Bowersville; Cord
on S. Griner, Savannah. Harry Shaw

cross; John F. Showers, Atlanta. VIM.

finest hogs and the finest poultry in
the state now is being brought forth
by club boys and girls, and that chill
dren are teaching grown people how to
to raise finer hogs and poultry and
corn as well.
There is a revolution going on the
farm and old ways of doing things are
gradually being replaced with new
proven ideas and there is wisdom in
all farmers studying at the various
community schools of thought as set
up at various places in the state by
experts and instructors from agricul-
tural colleges.
The day was when farmers would
not listen to this new thought, but
now they are beginning to listen and
many OF the best farmers are sending
their sons to these agricultural colleges
and schools to educate them in new
methods just as the doctor goes to
a post graduate college to get the latest
word in his profession. Make farm
ing profession and use the brain
power he has and Georgia farmers are
no longer poor.
Bankers must show themselves the
farmers friend and ready at all times
to assist him with money and with
scientific literature, marketing facili-
ties, etc. They are doing this now and
propose to continue as freely as his
brother on the farm will permit.
Bankers economists from other states
North and West say Georgia is natur-
ally destined to be one of the greatest
and richest states in the Union.
Business, trade, commerce and farm
ing are all looking brighter.

Fairfield Went
To Trial In Crisp
Bridge Burning
Case Expected to Be Given to Jurv
This Evening

CORDELE-O. c. Fairfield. for
mer employee of the A. B. & A. rail-
road and one OF the Strikers charged
with burning a bridge on the same
road year ago at Mckenzie's Siding
Went to trial Tuesday afternoon at
$50. AT four O'Clock Wednesday the
Following twelve citizens of this coun-
ty had been chosen to serve on the
jury in the case; WIG. Hatcher, Clyde
l'osey, J. T. Pitts. w. H. Scott, M.
Stewart, G. L. Taylor, r. L. Green, J.
r Moreland, S. j. Benefited, and FIJI.
Bland, Sr.
Attorney Mcdonald of Fitzgerald
was formerly his counsel but owing
to his association with Unions at Fitz-
gerald and the fact that the Unions
nave been at cross purpose with Fair
held the case was dropped by McDon-
aid and c. l.. Harris of Cordele was
appointed by Judge O. T. Cover to-
defend Fairfield.
1t is generally understood that the
prosecution in this case has to depend
largely upon his confession. AS a de-
tense, 1t IS also understood that Fair
field will claim that he was cooerved
,, and bribed into making a confession
III winch there was no semblance of
truth when he claimed that he in
company with J. r. Thomas, Jim Rus
sell, L, NJ. Bishop and A. K. Hall, 9TH
er former employees OF the A. B. & A.
Went to Mckenzie's Siding and burned
bridge on the line.

In a long statement before the iurv
I Wednesday afternoon O. C. Fairfield
now on trial i'll Crisp County Superior
Court for bridge burning on the ALB.
& A. denied ever saying that he knew
anything about the crime and claimed
that those who sought his written con-
fession was false
Falrfields side of the case came
