Destruction of Plantation
Building South of Americas
Causes Damage of $4,000

AMERICUS, Ga, Oct. 23.-News
reached here early Tuesday of the
destruction Monday night by fire of
the large barn located on tint Jenk-
ms place, adjoining the Huehuenin
plantation, 20 miles south Of Ameri-
Gus, and owned by r. T. Humber, of
Americas. Besides the barn, %
mules, 1000 bushels of corn, 1,40O

w. M. Humber, when informed of
the burning, left Americas imme-
diately for the scene Of the fire.
According to information given
Mr.. Humber, the fire was discovered
Monday night about 10 o'clock by
an overseer on the place, who was
reused from sleeplby the roar of the
flames. There is no indication as
to how the barn was fired, but
thorough Investigation will be made.
1t is probable the State Fire Marshal

ARE CIGAR AND
CIGARETTE DEAL
Frs EXEMPT?

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 24.-In
some unexplained way, a remarkable
joker slipped into the cigar and
cigarette stamp tax law. After stat
ing that the dealers must put a
stamp on every cigar and on every
package of cigarettes, the act says
"Nor shall any other tax be re-
CURED of cigar Dealers" Now, some
dealers are claiming that if they buy
SsNmps and put them on cigars and
cigarette packages, they will not
have to pay any tax on their homes,
their stores, farms, automobiles or
anything else, either to the state
counties, cities or towns.
Unless the law is changed in some
way at the coming extra session, tax
receivers and collectors are going to
have trouble in getting any tax from
cigar dealers. And of the law stands
as written, lot of people are going
into the cigar business to keep from
paying taxes.
How that joker ever got in the bill
is a mystery. But it is there: ap-
parently added as an after thought
the very last. line of the act say
ing: ''Nor shall any other tax be
required of cigar dealers.

ENGINE CARRIES
AUTO AND DRIVER
HALF MILE

DALTON, Ca, Oct. 23.-Carried
in the wreckage of his automobile
for quarter of mile on the pilot
of the engine and escaping without
serious injury was the experience of
Homer Painter, young son of Doc
Painter, whose automobile was hit
at the Long Street crossing by a
Southern train.
The train was going at a rapid
speed when it hit the car, driven
by the boy. The car was completely
demolished. The train was stopped
about quarter of a mile from
where it hit the automobile. The
boy was hurried to a physician, and
an examination showed no bones
broken. Aside from sever bruises he
appears none the worse for his ex-
perience.

that he made on the county farm
this year. Four of these potatoes
weighed 27 pounds and would have

GRADUALLY DISAPPEARING

Recent State reports show an en-
couraging growth in the number Of
consolidated schools in the United
States and the amounts of money
spent for transportation of pupils.
The little one-room schools are grad
ually disappearing. The movement
to centralize rural schools went for
ward rapidly in the latter part Of the
decade 10000 and it seems now to
be continuing with undated
strength. Not all Of the State de-
partments of education have COM
piled the figures on Capitalization
but the data available point to the
general trend.
Thirty-seven States abandoned
1859 one-room schools in the bien-
mum 1902, which means a de-
crease of approximately 5 per cent
in the number of such schools in
those States. Thirty-two States re-
ports 1,180 more consolidated schools
in 1922 than in 1920. Campaigns
for consolidation, county surveys,
and better methods of handling pu-
pill transportation are all helping to
increase the number of larger, strong
er, country schools. At least 20 col

MINERALS in
LEE COUNTY

Lee county is underlain exclusive
lily by rocks of Post-Eocene age re-
presented by the Vicksburg forma-
ton which consists of white lime
stones, sand and gravel.
Undoubtedly, limestones extend
throughout the county, but there
are comparatively few outcrops
which are confined to the escapments
of the principal streams. The most
notable exposures are along the
Flint river and Kinchafoonee and
Fowltown creeks. The deposits con-
sist Of interbedded, hard, partly
crystalline stone with soft, white,
granular, fossiliferous lime stone.
Some of the beds are associated with
ebert. The deposits along Flint river
are six miles or more distant from
railroad transportation, but as the
river is not navigable above Albany,
the limestone is of interest only for
local farm use.
The limestone exposed along Kin
chafoonee Creek consists of inter
bedded, hard and soft limestone,
which varies in thickness from one to
twenty-eight feet. The usual ex-
posures, however, show thickness
of less than ten feet overlain by resi-
dual soils and some sand. Core drill
ling is necessary to determine the
thickness.
There is an exposure on the j. r.
Smith property at the head of a
small branch one-quarter mile east
of the Leesburg- Dawson road, about
five miles from Leesburg and one
quarter mile southwest of Kincha-
foonee Creek. The upper part Of
the exposure shows thickness of
fourteen feet of partly crystalline
limestone, while underlying this there
are six feet of hard, white stone.
An analysis of this exposure shows
the limestone to be of exceptional
light and commercial conditions are
attractive.
There is an exposure along west
bank of Kinchafoonee Creek one
and half miles below the Leesburg-
Dawson road, which consists of
twenty-five feet of limestone over
lain by three feet of sand.
There is another exposure in the
escapment on the west side and one
hundred yards distant from Kincha-
foonee Creek at the bridge west of
Century.
On the east bank of Kinchafoonee
Creek one mile above the mouth of
Fowltown Creek there is an exposure
of limestone which has thickness of
twenty-seven feet in a bluff and
which is overlain by about four feet
of sand. This exposure is of promise.
The Rawson property is located at
point five miles northwest of AL
bany and the exposures are on the
southwest side of Fowltown Creek.
The deposit is high grade, but is
overlain by considerable thickness of
sand and clay and is of more par
ticular promise for fine grinding for
the chemical industries.
There are no commercial deposits
of sand in Lee county. Gravel is
found at some points associated with
thin beds Of sand on the hill tops.

SUITS FILED
BY ASSOCIATION

ALBANY, Ca, Oct. 22.-While
only six suits had actually been fled
through Saturday by the Georgia
Peanut Growers Cooperative Asso-
citation against members alleged to
have broken their contracts plans
were being made to sue others unless
they came in and paid the penalty
required under the contract, Colonel
Robert E. L. Spence, President and
General Manager of the Peanut AS
ISOLATION, declared.
Those who have actually had suits
filed against them in the Superior
Courts Of their respective counties
are: L. E. Brown, of Lee County;
D. r. Hunt, of Decatur County; T..
w. Curles, of Mitchell County; w.
L. Bateman, of Colquitt County; c..
A. Smith, of Worth County and D.
C. Wynn, of Colquitt County.
"While it is the policy of this as
ISOLATION, as required by the contract
and expected by the membership, to
to see that all defaulters shall pay for
their lack of faith" said Colonel
Spence, 1--WE are not rushing pell
nell into court on every rumor. We
are investigating each case, and
where a member shows a disposition
to be concilliatory, we allow him to
settle the amount of his damages
out of court"
Under the contract each member
signed, he is required to pay two
cents pound, or $40 a ton, into
the association for all the peanuts
sold on the outside. Some of the
defaulters, who probably yielded to
the temptation of high prices that
the association had such a big part
in bringing about, have actually gone
to the association Office in Albany
and paid their damages without
suits, thus saving the cost of court
trials.
Colonel Spence declared that he
has the utmost sympathy for man
who has yielded to the press of pow
erty, but declared that he had no
other option under the contract and
in keeping with the trust the loyal
members have imposed on him to re-
quire payment, either voluntary or
by court action, from those who sell
on the outside. can overwhelming
majority Of the members have been
completely loyal" the President de-
clared, "and it is only simple justice
to them to see that others who are
not shall pay for their failure to
keep faith"
Those who voluntarily pay dam
ages for defaulting in undeliveries
will be allowed to sign reaffirmation
contracts and be restored to good
sanding in the association without
suit.
Each member of the association,
Colonel Spence explained, "is bear
ing a small fraction of the overhead
expense of the association that has
done so much to make the present
high prices possible. Those who
break faith will also pay a part, but
it will be much heavier than the
part of the loyal members. For this
reason, if no other, it will pay all
of US to remain layal," he added.
