.SAYS NORRIS should
BE DISBARRED BY LAW
]. L. Bostwick Declares Lawyer
Has Figured in Other
6 Libel Suits

]. L. Bostwick, one of those
named in a sensational suit for
$4,000 damages filed in Sumter
Superior court by H. N. Norris, was
a visitor in Americas today and
did not seem worried because of
the action. Mr.. Bostwick, who lives
a few miles out of Americas, is
we'll acquainted with Norris, and he
said today that he was not surpris-
ed at the lawyers action. In fact,
Mr. Bostwick indicated that it is
nothing new for Norris to bring suit
for the tidy sum of $4,000 when
ever he thinks there is chance to
get the cash or to secure a little
free advertising.
morris ought to be disbarred and
prevented from bringing these
suits" said Mr.. Bostwick in the
office of the Times Recorder this
morning.
"This is the third one that I
know about. After a while it might
get to be a nuisance, and something
ought to be done. Why, Norris sued
Mrs. Shirruh there in LaGrange for
$4,000 because she ordered him
to leave her premises. Mrs. Shir-
run was trying to help Mrs. Fowler,
one of the defendants in this case
care for her little property there,
and this was why she ordered Nor
ris to leave the yard.
when his case came up against
Mrs. Shirruh, in the court at La
Grange, the judge told Norris to
stand up. He then explained to
the lawyer the Righteousness of his
case and told him then and there
never again to bring such suit
in his court. This ended the liti-
cation.
Morris also sued Col. Frank P.
Langley after they had a fight and
he wanted $4,000 in this case,
too. Both men were candidates for
some office and going about MAX
ing speeches, and one said some
thing about the other that wasn't
liked. This caused fight in which
I believe Col. Langley beat Norris
and Norris sued Langley for dam
ages"
Asked what he intended to do
about the pending suit here Mr.
Bostwick smiled and said he thought
he wuold see what Col Lane
thought about it before he took any
action. "1'd have to get the $780,
900 to pay Norris with before he
could collect it anyway" said Mr..
Bostwick, land lust now I haven't
got anything like that sum"

NEW PEACH VARIETIES
DEVELOPED IN GEORGIA
Mature Later Than Present Ell
berta, With Excellent Com
mercial Possibilities

Prof J G. Woodruff, assistant
horticulturalist at the Georgia Elk
! pertinent station, announces the de-
velopment of a new variety of FL
berta peach, possessing excellent
commercial qualities. In aunounc-
ing this development, Prof. Wood
ruff says that the bringing forth
Of new variety of fruit Is a COM
paratively simple matter, and is to
be encouraged. The introduction Of
new varieties is the basis of i'm
provement Of our domestic plants.
' An old variety may be propogat-
/ ed for several decades, and there is
practically no danger of degen-
! eracy; while on the other hand it
! is practically impossible to improve
its many characters. A variety
has its fixed characters and allows
practically no alteration. If a bet
ter fruit is to be had a new va
riety must be introduced So We
should not be surprised nor dis
Outraged at the constantly replac-
| ING of a variety Of fruit for .

The Georgia Experiment station
has recently brought to light four
new varieties of peaches. Tn 1911
anoroximateIv 500 seeds from the
EIberta variety were planted. all Of
these seedlings wer brought into
bearing: and out of this number.
four were selected as baino wor-

agree to. Any outside party would
have been satisfactory to Manager
Bell, he said today, and his OBJ
lection to Evans was so firmly
grounded as to make it impossible
for him to agree to continue with
the team while Evans officiated as
umpire.
The incident at Albany, where it
was reported that a pistol had drop
ped from the pocket of Evans was
discussed between the Americas
manager and the umpire, and it was
shown that the weapon dropped
from the pocket of a Dougherty
county deputy sheriff, who went
upon the field to make an arrest or
intervene and prevent trouble there.
A report that Evans had been
drinking with Albany sports" was
also brought up by Manager Bell,
who said to Evans that while he
did not know personally that he
had ever taken a drink in his life
that such reports had become cur
rent here, and that they were suf-
ticient to have an effect upon at
tendance here should Evans um-
plre. Evans, it is said, denied that
he had been drinking at Albany
or elsewhere, but never once did he
indicate that he would be willing
to disqualify himself.
These circumstances being. known
to the Albany managers and rep
resentatives, the two teams came
upon the field here with no agrees
ment as to an umpire. Evans and
Mayer came to the grounds in field
toys ard ready to begin work. At
this point, Manager Bell asserted
he would not disappoint the crowd
but would resign connection with
the team unless other umpires were
selected. A committee was named
Manager Bell designating J. w.
Hightower to act for the Americas
team and Manager Reed dsgignat-
ing H. F. Haley, of Albany to act
for that team.
According to the understanding
here, this team will serve during
the series, having authority to re-
move the umpire from the game
at any time, and to reverse de-

pire, it is said, was that Evans
had worked with the circuit since
it was first formed and that he
should have opportunity to make
the extra money the post-season Sc
ries would bring in. This was not
considered as adequate, according
to Manager Bell, who stated today
that above everything else he de-
sired to keep baseball a clean sport
in Americas.
When Manager Bell and Umpire
Evans discussed the latter's Off

Manager Bell, it is said on good
authority, told Evans he had receiv-

fans residing here and in nearby
towns and that for the good of
the game he should refuse to of

featured the butter market during
the past week. Prices on the four
major markets were virtually un-
changed throughout the entire week
and even sentiment did not indicat
definite trend. Receipts for the
first half of the week were nearly
the same as the week before and the
corresponding week year ago, and
the storage movement, compared
with last year, showed a half million
pounds decrease.
Heavy production of butter was
forecast in reports of cheap and
plentiful feed and good pasturage.
the make Of individual plants in the
past week has been irregular with
decreases, which have not been sharp,
however, and interest is conferred on
conditions affecting the make of the
next few weeks.
The strike of English dock en-
ployes was considered as having a
possible effect of checking imports
to England, weakening exports of
this nation and increasing shipmen is
to the United States. Arrivals in
