Survey of Filling Stations.

Comptroller Gordy of the State
Treasury, is about to have a survey
of gasoline filling stations in Mary
land made, under an act of the Legis-
lature authorizing the use of $500
from the yield of the gasoline tax, to
meet its cost. The surveys results
will reveal the stations source of
supply and will aid in fixing the State
tax on gasoline of cents a gallon on
all wholesalers doing business within
it's limits. Distributors located out
ide the State cannot be reached for
the tax, but first hand men or firms
handling the fluid, after it is brought
into the State, must pay the tax.
Checking up of filling stations will
disclose the identity of each whole
saler or outside distributor, and the
quantity purchased and sold by re-
tailers at the station to be investi-
gated. This plan will afford a dou-
BILE check when sales by wholesale
dealers are examined. The survey is
not to be made for prosecution pur-
poses but to find leaks in gasoline tax
payments.

by Jarvis Adams, of Pittsburgh; 1922,
by Sen. Wright Hugus. of Wheeling,

burgh. To gain permanent posses
sion of the cup requires three win

sion. The Maryland players will make
an earnest effort this year to win a
leg of the cup.
During the tournament many social
events have been arranged for the en-
tertainment of the players. Monday

PURE BRED DUROC
SALE is ANNOUNCED
Hawkins & Son VIII Dispose of
a Number of Bred Sows and
Gifts During September

Hawkins q Son, premier hog
breeders of this entire section, an
nounce in today's Times-Recorder
the date of their coming purebred
hog sale at Americas. This is sched-
uled for Thursday, September 4, at
their barns on Ellaville road, and
as usual, it is expected, many buy
ers will be here from different sec
tions to attend the sale.
In connection with the announce
ment, it is stated that this is to be
the only high class pure bred Du-
roc sale scheduled to be held in
this part of Georgia during the
fall months.
With a bountiful corn crop pro-
duced in Sumter county this fall and
a practical failure among grain pro-
dueers throughout the west, it is
apparent that hog prices will be
high during many months to come.
Incidentally, it should be known,
too many farmers here have per-
mitted their hog herds to dwindle
almest to the vanishing point, ac-
cording to George Marshall, coun-
ty farm demonstration agent.
Repeated experiments have DEM
onstrated that the Duroc is best
adapted among all types for breed
ing in this section. Among the
hogs to be offered at the Hawkins
sale are many young sows bred to
Faultless Scissors, End, Giant Sensa-
tion's Type and Stills Orion, the
latter two being intensely bred Wes-
tern boars of national reputation.
Giant Sensations Type is a son of
Giant Sensation, the sire of the
Grand Champion sow at the Ma
tional Swine show in 1928. Stills
Orion is a son of the famous Stills
who sired the first prize aged herd
at the National Swine Show in both
1922 and 1928.
Farmers here who have allowed
their herds to dwindle during the
recent period of low prices for hogs,
are encouraged to replenish these
herds now by excellent prices be-
ing paid for meat hogs in all mar
kets and the general anticipation
Of even better prices later in the
season. Hogs during recent years
have come to be regarded as a real
money crop here, and experinced
observers here today expressed the
belief that many who had made
good money raising hogs a few years
ago will begin at once the rehabil-
itation of their herds.

.BEDOUINS CLAIM
JEWISH DESCENT
Tribe Numbering a thousand
Want Government Help To
Return To Judaism

JERUSALEM, August 3O.-Part
of a Bedouin tribe in Palestine num-
bering about 1000 persons, claim
ing to be descendants of jews who
remained in Palestine following the
destruction Of the Temple, have
applied to the government for help
in their efforts to return to Juda-
ISM. H &
The tribe known as "Arab ell 81
malni," is scattered over Upper Cali
lee. Some of the tribesmen are at
present encamped at Tabha, on the
northern shore of Lake Tiberias,
whence they addressed their re
quest to the Rabbs Of Safed, The
claim as descendants of Jews IS
based by the elders Of the tribe on
documents said to be in their pos
session showing their ancestors to
have been part of the Jewish race.
One of the documents of the ST.
malnf is a scroll written in Arabic,
resembling somewhat in form and
content the "Torah' or scroll Of the
Mosaic Fentateuch Some of the
Simalni customs are also said to
resemble those of the ancient Jews

MACON FAIR To Be
BIGGER AND BETTER
Officials Promise Greatest Tx
position Ever Staged There
Week of October 2O-25

MACON, August 30.-Bigger and
better than last year is the prom
Use made by officials of the Geor-
gia State Exposition fair which will
be held in this city during the
week of October 20-25 inclusive,
with a greater number of attrac-
tions than has heretofore been on
display.
The aim and purpose of the
Georgia State Fair, according to
officials, is to build and maintain
an annual exposition in the heart
of Georgia that will be a credit to
the state and the southeast country.
Liberal premiums are to be award
ed in the various departments of
the fair, and already many large
exhibits have been secured, it is
stated. Besides this, educational
features will have prominent dis
play in the fair this year, and the
agricultural exhibits will be no
ticeable feature also.
The Georgia State Exposition
was organized by a group of bust
ness men of M1con last year "to
fill need in the vacancy left by
the discontinuance of the form r
state fair activities in middle Geor-
gia.' The new fair association, it
is said by officials, has no connec-
ton whatsoever with the Georgia
State Fair which was held in Ma
con for several years, under the aus
pieces of the Georgia Agricultural
Society.
1t is expected that the attendance
this year will be far in excess of
that Of last year, and it is the be-
lief that hundreds of persons will
attend the fair from many sections
of the state.
