TILLEY SELLS 1900
BALES OF COTTON
TERRELL COUNTY CITIZEN
RECEIVES 100000 FOR LOT.
AUGUSTA FIRM BUYERS.

Perhaps the largest sale of cotton
that was ever made by one man in
southwest Georgia was consummated
last Wednesday, when Mr.. J. w. Til
ley sold in one lot 1000 bales.
The purchasers were Barrett & Co,
large cotton factors of Augusta, Ga,
and the sale was made on a basis OF
u cents a pound, which netted Mr..
Tilley more than 100000. The Au-
gusta firm was represented in. the
deal by ]. D. Mosely.
AS previously stated in The News,
MANY Of the farmers OF Terrell coun-
ty were successful in growing cotton
the past year. With their advanced
methods of farming they seem to be
making a more or less winning fight
against the boil weevil, and the coun-
ty is getting a great deal OF worth
while advertising.
Mr.. Tilley is one of the county,
largest planters, and his lands are in
one of the most productive sections.

Why Lettuce Is
A Health Food

An extended study and research in
to the question of so-called health
foods has resulted in the decision that
it would be of the utmost benefit to
the general health if the consumption
of lettuce the year around were IN
creased about a thousand times the
present consumption. In bulletin is
sued by the North Carolina state
board Of health the following reasons
are enumerated tor eating lettuce ev-
ery day that lettuce can be had:
1) Lettuce is one OF natures tooth
brushes.
~ Lettuce is rich i'll vitimines.
60 Lettuce is unquestionably SUI
perior to any known medicine which
NAV be taken internally as source
of available iron for men, although
certain iron solutions administered by
injection into the blood or into the
muscles may be superior in certain
illnesses.
(4) Lettuce serves as physiology
cal stimulus not alone to appetite and
digestion in the stomach, but to the
more important process OF intestinal
digestion, and may be considered a
preventive of colitis. !.
50 Lettuce gives a wholesome bulk
to the residue in the intestines,, and
this tends to counteract the evils OF
ultra-refned concentrated diet.
90 Lettuce is among the lowest OF
all foods in fuel or nutritive value
from the caloric point of view, yield
ing only 90 calories per pound. About
equivalent to two crackers or halt a
glass of MILK This feature should
Commend lettuce to all overstocked
rs Lettuce freely used in the diet
opposes acidosis and tends to keep
the system normally alkaline.
i The popular notion that lettuce IS
sedative or soporihc is myth pfopa,,
gated by the romanticists who useo
to write books on "dietetics" as an
avocation. Lettuce will no more soootht
the nervous system nor put one asleep
than will peanuts or ham gravy.
A variety or kind of lettuce called
"iceberg" is so uniformly crisp and
nalatable that even persons indifferent
to ordinary lettuce find it an attractive
relish.

LlMBL ESS BABY is
TAKEN BY DEATH
INFANT WITHOUT ARMS OR
LEGS BECAME CENTER OF
WARM CONTROVERSY.

Baby Lebrasca, born several weeks
ago in Chicago without arms or legs,
has ceased to be a problem. The in
FAINT died recently following a short
illness Of penumonia, thus ending a
controversy that has ragged with more
or less intensity since the day of her
BIRTH
Public attention to the case first
was attracted by a published state
ment that the father, James Lebrasca,
had asked physicians to allow the de-
formed baby to die, The physician in
charge OF the case refused, saying that
the baby was mentally normal.
The baby even might have become
a mental celebrity, natures way of
recornpensing it for the missing arms
and legs, the doctors said,
The father denied that he had ask
ed that the baby be permitted to die
of inattention and declared that he
and his wife, Dorothy, would give it
the best of care. The mother was not
told of the baby's condition for sew
eral days. Numerous requests were
made by persons eager to adopt the
baby.

READY TO HARASS
HEADS OF FAMILIES
INCOME BLANKS BEING MAIL
ED OUT. MUST BE RETURN
ED BY MARCH 18TH.

Income taxpayers at Dawson who
made similar returns for the year
1921 are receiving from the collector
OF internal revenue form 1040-A for
fling individual returns of net income
of $4,000 or less for the year 1922
Form 1040 for filing returns of net
income in excess of $4,000 soon will
be issued and mailed to taxpayers who
filed similar returns for 1921. The FL
ing period is from Jan. | to March
Is, 1928.
Married persons, with a net income
of $4,000 or less are allowed an ex-
emption OF $500. The exemption for
married persons whose net income
was in excess of $4,000 is $4,000 The
exemption for single persons is ST.
600. Also, whether married or single,
the taxpayer is allowed a credit Of
$500 for each person dependent upon
him for chief support if such person
is under Is years of age or incapable
of self support because mentally or
physically defective.
The requirement to file return is
placed upon every married person

or more or whose gross income was
9O,UUU or more, anu upon every single
person whose net income was 81 ZOO
or more, or whose gross income was
ST, 900 or more. The fact that, by rea-
son of exemptions and credits, a per-
sons income is not taxable does not
nullify the requirement to file re-
turn if the income equals or exceeds
these specified amounts, the report
blanks assert.
The normal rate of tax of per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income and
s per cent on the remaining net in

unchanged. Surtax rates, which apply
only to incomes in excess of $4,000

LOCAL LEGION POST
PLANNING FOR 1923
WILL COMPILE A HISTORY OF
MEMBERS, AND BEGIN MEM
BERSHIP CAMPAIGN.

The Davis Daniel post of the Amer
lean Legion held their first meeting
for the new year in their club rooms
Friday night. The meeting was well
attended.
w. K. Norton, the new post COM
mander. presided and nineteen ex-ser-
vice men were enrolled for 1928, which
is about one-third of the enrolment
the past year. 1t is generally thought
nv the officers of the post that Others
whose names appeared on the roster
Of the post in 1922 will be entered on
the 1923 roster Early in the year
the officers and members of the post
expect to stage drive in the. hope OF
securing the membership OF every
eligible ex-service man IN Terrell
county. 1t is the desire of those in
charge to make the membership l0O
per cent strong, and if every .buddie
will cooperate and put forth his best
efforts there is no reason why any
white ex-service man in the county
should be out of the post by the mid
die of the year
The finance committee Tor the new
wear is composed of c. d. Grimes, L.
I. Newman and w. R. Ground, and
the entertainment. committee, appoint
ed at the meeting Friday night, IS
composed OF B. w. Hanson, ]. w.
Cannon and ]. B. Petty. A member
ship committee, which will include eX-
service men in all sections OF the
county, will be named by the COM
mander within the next few days and
plans completed for the membership
drive.
AT the meeting a suggestion was
offered that an effort be made to have
the discharge of every ex-serv1ce man
in the county recorded in the office
of the clerk of the superior court,
Clerk OF Court w. S. Dozier having
kindly consented to record the papers
free of charge.
An effort will be made by the post
historian to compile during the year
a post history, and it is desired to
get in touch with every white ex-
service man in the county, whether a
member of the Legion or not, at the
earliest convenience. Every ex-ser-
vice man will be asked to furnish the
post historian with record sheet,
covering dates and moves OF IN
terest made by that particular SOL
der during the period of service,
whether in the army, navy or marines,
With this data, which the men them
selves only can furnish, the post his
torian hopes to be able to compile the
various records for future reference.
If every white ex-service man IN the
county will bring or mail his discharge
to w. K. Norton, commander; J. r.
Cooke, jr.. post adjutant, or B. Pet
ty, historian, the data will be placed
in the hands of the proper authorities
for record. The discharges, when re-
corded in the Office of the clerk, will,
of course, be returned to the righttul
owner in good order If every bud
will cooperate much can be accom-
plished, and without the cooperation
of every ex-service man the matter
cannot be handled successfully.
Prospects are bright for a good
year, and plans for 1923 will be COM
pleted at an early date. Every ex-
service man is expected to cooperate
with the boys to the utmost OF his
ability and help make 1928 the great
est yet.

CAPTAIN BLOOD"
by Rafael lSabatini

Those many thousands of readers who found much in Sabatini's "Scara- mouche" to recommend it's great pop ularity will doubtless be unable to find that the authors Captain Blood" quite measures up to their expecta- tions. Yet the same qualities which made "Scaramouche" readable naI- rative also contribute to Captain Blood" But for all his ability to tell a narrative we'll Sabatini is net able 10 make any of the people of his books have semblance of flesh and blood. They are creatures of fic- ton whose virtues live and act only for the purposes of the plot. This Peter Blood of wild Caribbean sd- venture. oddly enough. is little too perfect and too able to enlist any sympathy for the reader. An Irish man who speaks Castilisn with such perfection as to deceive a Spanish grandee is a little too much for the imagination of almost any reader. Yet Captain Blood" IS probably what it's publishers would call a good summer book" As "A work of art il certainly could not survive the rigors of winter.

TIMELY WARNING
Railroad Manager Appeals For Great.

4 timely warning to motorists to be careful at grade crossings, and at the same time to have more consideration for the gatemen. Is contained in let ter from General Manager C. L. Bar do of the New Haven railroad system to J. K. McMahon. captain of the railroad police. The letter is as fol- lows
 ''The careless attitude and indiffer- enee to the efforts and signals of our crossing tenders by many of the au- tomobile travellers make apparent the necessity for some effective control of highway traffic at our grade cross ings.
 ITO impress the travelling public with realization of their obligation to take al least ordinary precautions for their own protection and to com pei a reasonable regard for the cross ing tenders signals and instructions, 1t has been deemed advisable to detail a uniformed police officer from your department. to be assigned temporar- fly to various crossings where his ser vices are most needed. which division superintendents will determine. per haps two or three days at time.
 "Will you kindly instruct your captains Co assign details according ly; one man to each division for as much time as they can be spared be- tween now and Oct. l.
 officers assigned to this duty should maintain respectful and courteous attitude toward the public but at the same time be firm enough in their admouitions and warnings 10 impress the highway traveller with the fact that the railroad company is not solely responsible for his safety. and that it Is his duty Co exercise all due diligence for his own protection at such points !"
 General Manager Bardo's letter to Chief McMahon reflects the latest ef- forts of the company to impress the public with the sense of their Fespon- sibility to take reasonable steps for their protection.
