The cast numbered many brilliant girls of this fortunate class, every one of whom met=the expectations of friends and admirers. The work in every scene of the play was excellent, with an intelligent interpretation of every character Although the three lovely princesses in their quaint medieval costumes were naturally the center of attraction, every player was good in her especial part. The class re- alized a handsome sum as a reward of their efforts.

SPENCE WARNS GAINST
HARVESTING PEANTS
Green Peanuts Likely to Bring
Grading Penalties, He Tells
Growers

ALBANY, August 20.-Alarmed
because of the presence of a few
sprouting peanuts on some of their
vines, some growers in South Geor-
gia are about to make the mistake
of gathering crops too soon, ac-
cordln gto statement by Colonel
Robert E. L. Spence, president and
general manager of the Georgia
Peanut Growers Cooperative as
ISOLATION. Green peanuts will be
penalized in the grades, President
ASpence stated, and the grower who
insists on gathering his crop too
soon will accordingly lose money.
Many young peanuts are still on
the vines of even the most forward
crops, he added that will make good
peanuts if left in the ground long
enough to mature.
Colonel Spence also warned men,
bers of the Peanut association not
to sun cure their peanuts or to
thresh them, urging shock curing
and picking by a regular picking
machine instead. Sun-curad pea
nuts will shrivel and split, causing
them to grade low, he said, while
those sent through a threshing ma
chine suffer badly in the grading
process. The head of the peanut
coop declared that the associated
is doing all in its power to enforce
high standards of quality for its
products, and pleaded with the
members to cooperate in the pro-
gram. ~ ##

now in the hands of committee

nection with last nights floggings.
They are booked as S. r. Hudson,
aged 35 years; c. F. Hudson, aged
27 years, and j. C. Hudson, "a
years, brothers, of East Macon.
They are said to be proprietors of
paint shop on Plum street.
From the sheriff's office, how
ever, comes the statement that not
all of the floggers have been
caught. More arrests maye be ex-
pected at any time.
The cleanup of last night was
done so Quickly that, according to
the shetiff's deputies participating
in the event, at least one of the
members of the gang didn't have
time to remove his mask.
The only other event of the day
that brought out the anti-flogging
squad was an attempt to hold up
and rob a u. S. mail truck be-
tween the Terminal station and the
rostoffice This occurred about
the time that the adjutant general
was leaving Atlanta. Charley
Mike, negro driver of the truck,
stepped on the gas and got safely
away.
Adj. Gen. Charles H. Cox, aft
err a conference with local police
authorities, the sheriff and Gen. H.
D. Russell, commander Of the Geor-
cia National Guard, lett for at At.
lanta at o'cl,ek Sunday after
noon, indicating that there will be
no martial law for Macon at this
time.
The adiutant general obtained a
promise from local officials, it is
understood, that there will be a
tightening of the lines, in an eff
fort to put stop to kidnapings,
whipping and all forms of mob VIC
lence.
Shortly after General Cox had
left Macon, Sheriff J. r. Hicks is
sued special warning to Macon
motorists who have been driving
cars without tags, as this method
has been adopted by lawless per-
son engaged in the kidnapings to
prevent identification of their ma
chimes. In this warning, Sheriff
Hicks announces:
"All persons driving automobiles
without tags will be taken into
custody by the city or county Of
ficers.
There are a good many cars be-
ing driven around Macon with moth
ing but pasteboaard tags, some
bearing a hand printed sign, Ii
cense applied for
''People better leave their cars
in the garages unless they hold a
postoffice money order showing
that a tag has been ordered, or a
duplicate ordered.
"The officers have absolute or
ders to arrest all persons who fail
to comply with this law"
The capture of the trio last night
is partly due to the daring work
of Emory Roberts, negro, who re-
sides on the Clinton road, and to
the promptness of the sheriff's
deputies in responding to a tele-
phone call that they received from
persons who had observed trouble
on the Clinton road.
Roberts was trying to drive to
hacon, after seeing another negro
whipped by the same crowd, he said.
AS he tried to pess a seven-pass-
enger tagless Cole 8 automobile,
three men hailed him. The negro
slowed down to find what was
wanted and one Of the mel climb
