In the Raw State
CIR ARTHUR Conan Doyle has added a

SIR ARTHUR Conan Doyle has added a chapter
~ TO the general controversy over spiritualism
by declaring that he has not only touched but
smelled "Ektoplasm."
Ektoplasm explains the great authority upon
this subject is a "putty-like substance which en-
erges from the mouths of mediums when they are
under control and is capable of lifting tables and
forming itself into the likeness of the dead"
OF coure an eminent authority like Sir Arthur
filled with skepticism instead of ektoplasm. vet
1t does seem strange to the uninitiated that provi-
dence should %entrust to ektoplasm the desperate
tasks OF moving furniture and representing the
persons of the dead.
There will be many who before embracing the
t1eory will demand not only to see and feel ekto-
plasm but to smell it also and to do these things
with the original product not the Photographic

LEE COUNTY OFFICER LOSES
HIS PISTOL AND PRISONER

w. w. Mcdonald, deputy
sheriff of Lee county, is minus his
pistol and negro prisoner as the
result of an unusual experience he
underwent Monday afternoon.
Deputy Mcdonald, in company with
two other Lee county officers, P. G..
Coxwell and B. E. Powell, was
searching in the woods for stolen
goods taken from the store Of w. M.
Laramore, located eight miles from
Leesburg, which was burglarized
several days ago. In their search,
the officers became separated, and
Deputy Mcdonald suddenly came
upon a moonshine still, operating in
full blast. A negro who was the
only person at the still was quietly
reading the Progressive Farmer
when the officer stepped up and
placed him under arrest. While he
was destroying the still, the officer
was suddenly seized from behind by
the negro, and in the scuffle that
ensued the officers pistol dropped
to the ground. Both officer and
negro made quick dives for the fall
len pistol, but the negro beat the
officer to it and made his escape.

PLANS FOR JUNIOR
REPUBLIC OF THE SOUTH

The Juvenile Protective Associa-
ton, with members throughout the
South, is rapidly completing plans
for building and equipping the
Junior Republic of the South, a
self-govcrning village for hayward
boys and girls, it is announced by
Rev. Crawford Jackson, general sec
rotary of the association, with head
quarters in the Atlanta National
Bank building in Atlanta.
During the remaining of the sum-
ner, an intensive effort will be made
to collect funds with which to COM
plete the purchase of tract OF land
of 1913 acres in Campbell county,
sixteen miles from Atlanta, on WHICH
it is planned to erect school build
ings and shops and general farm
equipment. Approximately $780,
coo is needed, Mr.. Jackson said.
Endorsement of the movement
has been given by leading citizens
in many southern states, association
officials state. Mr.. Jackson, in q
tour of the South, said he found
sentiment highly in favor of such an
institution which will be the first of
its kind in Dixie.
Leading editors of the State have
strongly endorsed the movement for
the Republic. Miss Emily Wood
ward, editor of the Vienna iGa)
News, and one of the vice presidents
of the Georgia Press Association,
says:
"TEe movement, fostered by the
Juvenile Protective Association, to
build and equip Junior Republic
of the South" is one to be endorsed
by every right-thinking citizen.
t'The plan provides for a self
governing village for hayward boys
and girls and includes a plant
Governing 1913 acres furnished with
the modern conveniences and fix
lures of a model town.
s'Should this project be a success
and the juvenile inmates, now held
at the detention homes, where they
know only fear, brutality, subjex-
tior, land attempts toward escape,
and revenge, be segregated in order
to train that something in them,
which makes them want to break
the bonds of routine, convention,
and law, in a place where shame
shall be punishment, and where res
pect is the reward for duty, health,
and politeness, then there will be a
lessening of crime and tendency
toward support of peace and JUS
tice. And the root of the trouble of
jobless youth shall have been ex-
tracted.
"Would the young fellow not take
paaaein saying that he was trained
at the Junior Republic of the
TSouth', as he unfolded his record
before prospective employers"

HIGH AVERAGE PRICE
FOR WATERMELONS SECURED
BY GROWERS ASSOCIATION

MOULTRIE, Ga, August a.
Final figures just issued show that
the Southwest Georgia Melon Crow
ers Association sold the melons of
it's membership during the past sea-
son for an average of $205.05 a car,
which is said to be the highest aver
age price that number of cars, in
Guiding all grades, ever brought. Six
hundred and fifteen cars were
shipped. Of this number 129 cars
were of 2O-pounds melons. This size
sold for $135.93 a car. Seven cars
of 32-pound melons brought $443.-
II. Fifty-one cars of 3O-pound
melons sold for $339.33.
Members of the association here
state that they are well pleased with
the returns, which they claim were
far better than those the independ-
ent growers got. The crop, how
ever, was short, and very few melon
men made any money.
