LYONS, Ga, July 5,-B. T. Os-
borne, living six miles south Of Ly-
ons, near south Thompson commu-
nifty, has been selling enough cream
from his cows to pay the operating
expenses of the three-horse farm he
has rented. He says he has already
sold over 5000 worth of cream since
January 1. and is still shipping, In
addition to that ne sold over 500
worth of sweet potatoes from a lit
tie more than an acre.
The first shipment Of onions went
from this county Monday when w.
o. Donovan shipped several crates OF
large Bermuda onions to Atlanta.
Several other farmers have onions to
ship from around Vidalia and il Is
expected that a total express ship
ment will go during the next few
weeks of about a carload. Mr.. Don
ovan is so we'll pleased with the yield
that he says he will plant so acres
in them for next spring. ,.... &c.. it,.
M. M. Coleman, Jr., living one

He advised counsel to forget all
about the letters.
DR.. Jones next was asked who ex-
amined Tabert and replied that the
examination had been made by HIM
self. He said he did not examine the
patients lungs on his last visit, be-
cause he considered it unnecessary

scribed the various forms of pneu-

After DR.. Jones had been on the
stand more than an hour, it was dis
covered he had not been sworn. The
state raised no objection and sug-
gested the oath be given the physi-
clan and the trial not be delayed.
Dr. Jones went into detail to ex-
plain swamp or musk poison and de-
clared it would be possible that swell
ing from which Tabert had suffered,
could be caused by such,
When asked what traumatic pneu-
monia was, the witness explained
that it was caused by injuries to the
lung tissues, adding that any VIC
lence, a blow, whipping, bullet or
knife could cause traumatic pneu-
monia.
How aobut a whipping with a
strap weighing five pounds, measur-
ing three feet long; would it produce
traumatic pneumonia if fifty lashes
were struck" asked Mr.. Caldwell.

explaining that such a whipping
might result in bruised tissue of the

The witness said he knew J. E.

Tabert, that Higginbotham beat him
to death, or words to that effect"
DIR. Greene's Testimony
DR.. Ralph N. Greene, former state
health officer, followed DR.. Jones on
the stand. He testified that in his
opinion Tabert died from lobar pneu-
monia. InansWer to another Ques-
ton by the defense he said it would
be impossible for a man to perform
hard labor after he had received 40

weighing to IL pounds, as his
injuries would be too severe.

/ rust and the wheat plant now to whether
! the crop will mature without deteriora ton.
| The market broke at the start under hedg
ing pressure and some selling for northwest
| account. The dip uncovered good
commission house buying and this caused
shorts to cover. After midday there was
some pressure on the market from locals.
| Cash wheat premiums were unchanged. Ex-
| port trade was quiet. Country offerings
! to arrive of new wheat were larger and a
moderate amount was booked over night
bids. Germany is reported to haye ar
| ranged for the purchase of $4,000, 000l worth
! OF cereals from Russia this season. Argen-
tine shipments were 100000 bushels this
week. Weather is favorable for the har-

OF excessive moisture are being received
