mixed FARM PROGRAM
Is FORMALLY ADOPTED
'CoIqu;tt Interests Agree on Di-
versification Plant at Moul-
trie Meeting

MOULTRIE, Sept. Having
been pledged the wholehearted and
unqualified support of the bankers
and business men, Colquitt county
farmers, at a mass meeting held
at the court house here Thursday
adopted a pre- gram Of mixed farm
ing that will within a brief period
of time usher in an era of renew
ed prosperity and development just
as surely as the tides of the sea
ebb and flow.
W. II. Barber, president of the
Citizens Bank, vas introduced as
,ae first speaker and he presented
the program of mixed farming
which has been worked out by a
committee of bankers, business men
and farmers and urged its adoption.
A one horse farm, of 80 acres,
was used as basis and the figures
were made up from it.
This schedule of various crops
follows:
Corn, velvet beans and runner
peanuts, 10 acres.
Oats, followed by peavine hay,
5 acres.
Sweet potatoes, sugar and sor-
gum cane, millet and garden, 5
acres.
Melons, Spanish peanuts or to-
bacco, acres.
Truck, 2 acres.
Permanent pasture on waste wet
lands, 8 to acres.
Cotton, acres.
Three to five milk cows, two bred
sows and so pure bred hens.
1t was large and representa-
tive group of farmers. The audi
forum of the court house was tax
ed to it's full capacity, every seat
being taken, extra chairs were
placed in the aisles, and even then
scores could not be taken care of.
1t was a thoughtful body of men,
who had been through the fire and
had not come out unscathed. 1t
was a sturdy group of men, who
are game and courageous and who
have a vision of better things and
have set about energetically to
bring them about.

The mere thought of sitting about
the house in street clothes, of bring
ing the tailor made dress that has
swept the dusty streets in contact
with the delicac;es of her boudoir and
drawing room is as rcpugnant to the
average Frcnchwoman as putting
muddy rubbers on a taFc;1 bcIspread
would be to her American sister. She
changes Immediately to fImy neg
ligcc 2s soon as she reaches her room.
1t is a custom worth initiating
For although tea gowns and ncgligees
are much spoken Of in American liter
ature they have, in the past, been worn
little in American homes. However,
according to tie dispatches from Paris,
they are to assume an important
place in the wardrobe of a well
dressed woman from now on.
The mere description of these most
delightful garments is enough to
make ones mouth water. This one
is Of sea-foam green Crepe Chcnette
from the South Manchester looms,
trimmed with bands and a medallion
of orchid colorcd lace. The founda-
ton is straight with TIE Egyptian
fullncss Of plcats at the front. The
overdIa2c-y is joined to the under
slip only by the v Of lace at the neck.
1t is caught up uader lace on each
arm, falling to the waist in front,
but sweeping almost to the hem in
back.
A rather c. e7ly arranSem mt of
the orchid laee ms cs the boudoir can.

HARDING STAMPS ARE
NOW AT BROWNSVILLE

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 21. =
Mrs. Roddenberry, postmaster, an
nounces that the office has receiv-
ed a consignment of fifty thousand
Harding stamps which would be
used in the local office. This is
the first consignment allotted the
Ihomasville office. The stamp has
been seen here on numbers OF
communications but was put on
sale for the first time Wednesday
The stamp is distinctive, it's color
being somewhat sombre and quite
different from anything else of its
kind. The likeness to President
Harding is splendid and presents
him at his best, prior to the trials
incident to the last year of his
administration

WALKER DECLARES TAX
SYSTEM BROKEN DOWN

ATHENS, Sept. 21.-The state
tax commission with Governor
Walker Thursday heard expressions
from leading Clarke county citie
zens, including David c. Barrow,
chancellor of the University of
Georgia, pertaining to the tax sys-
tenn of Georgia.
The chief executive declared that
the ad valorem system in the state
had broken down as it has in every
other state and that about one-third
of the people and one-third of the
property of the state were carrying
the tax burden. He urged the peo-
pie to assume a give-and-take at
titude, and if exactly what was
wanted was not evolved not to OPP
rose what was proposed.
"The law can be amended from
time to time if need be-" he said,
until it approaches the near-per-
feet"

SPENCER HADUNUSUAL
CHARACTER, ROBBED
MANY BANKS IN OKLA.
Super-Bandit Believed to Have
Been Victim of Diseased Mind
And Adventurous Spirit
KNEW HILLS OF OsAGE
Started Career of Desperate in
Youth and Was in Prison.
More Than Once

BARTLESVILLE, Okla, Sept.
21.-It's AL Spencer's life people
talk about now. Not his death.
This super-bandit, victim of a
diseased mind and a misguided love
of adventure, was the inspiration
for year for writer's of dime novels.
Now he is gone-shot down on a
highway near here as mercilessly
as one would kill poisonous snake.
Yes, AL Spencer's gone, as they
say out here. And townspeople
are breathing easier. For the ter
ror of the Usage is no more.
They called him will O. the
Wisp" Spencer. He who robbed
banks, looted stores, scaled prison
walls, and fled to the hills.
Young, romantic, fearless - he
couldn't help appeal to that por-
ton of the population of the
country that fed on false idolatry
Someone may get me-" he al
ways said. But I'll manage to
get someone while they're doing
it."
But he didn't.
The end came suddenly. Trap
ped on the Westinghouse road
by Marshal Alva Macdonald, and
a group of others whose duty it
is to rid society of human men
aces, he broke to flee. Sharp com
mands to halt met only with the
bark Of rifle in the hands of the
bandit A half dozen guns spoke
and Al fell.
Banks especially are glad it's
over now. They had many rewards
posted for his capture, dead or
alive" For Spencer was the most
notorious raider since the days of
the James and Dalton brothers.
The government recently added
$4,000 to the general reward.
He operated in the southwest.
Oklahoma was his favorite state.
For then he could raid and dash
to the Usage Hills, where he knew
every craig, cliff and cave. He
has been reported in Kansas, Tex
as, Arkansas and Missouri.
Recently he walked into one of
the biggest hotels in Oklahoma
City. He talked with several per-
sons, smoked a cigar, and drove
away.
At times he would adopt the
modern bandits auto. But once
his work was dohe, once khe
Sob was pulled" he would mount
his horse-just like they do in the
movies.
At his death he was Sc. he had
the typical cold steel gray eyes of
the bandit-the kind that shine
hatred of law and its consequent
,ces.
Spencer started his desperate
career in youth. His escapades
were famous when he was arrest
ed as a cattle rustler at Nowata,
Okla. Given 10-year term he
finally was made a trusty. That
trust was misplaced-for Spencer
disappeared.
Then commenced a long list of
raids, and one escape from prison.
Dozens of banks fell his victims, it.
is said. At Gentry he was shot
down, but dragging himself to his
horse, escaped.
He had his own gang, man-pick-
ed Tor individual cruelty, desperate
characters willing to take chances
and born to the thieves Gods of
once captured, never talk"
1t is said Spencer had a romance
IN his life. The girl thought to
have won his. heart now is under
arrest, captured during train rob-
bers at Okesa.
When killed, Spencer had $40
600 in bonds.
