{. OF GA. PROPOSES
NOVEL PLAN BRING
new SETTLERS HERE
Proposes Plan Whereby Farm
From Others Sections VIII Be
Induced to Settle in Sumter

An advertising plan under the
provisions of which the Central of
Georgia Railway will cooperate in
securing settlers for farm lands in
Georgia and Alabama is announced
by President L. A. Downs in an in
teresting statement published to-
day.
Mr.. Downs points out that the
South's undeniable advantages of
long-growing seasons, ample rain
fall, mild winters, crop variety and
low-priced lands appeal to many
farmers residing in other sections.
He believes that the five essential
requirements to attract settlers are
farms capable of profitable crop
production, reasonably priced, of a
workable size, for sale upon fav-
orable terms with modern improve
ments.
The Central of Georgia is willing
to advertise such farms in publica
tions which are read by the class of
home-seekers desired, and to pre-
pare and mail pamphlets which will
set forth the advantages of this
section for home-seekers, provided
that the land ownersf real estate
agent, commercial organizations,
and others interested, will offer for
sale total of not less than 200
farms located along the lines of
the Central of Georgia Railway and
within miles of Central station.
1t is suggested that the farms
should range in size from 40 to 200
acres; should be under definite OPP
ton, running until April 80, 1925;
that there should be not less than
10 such places in eac hcomn, unity,
and that the terms of sale should
require not more than one-hfth
cash as initial payment with bal
ance in Is or more annual Install
ments, at a fair rate of interest. 1t
is further suggested that suitable
improvements or some definite a.
IdHSSIlleIIJS W lllldllIC IIC NCllDSA q
tons of buildings should be offer
ed and that at least one-third to
one-half of the land should be
cleared and ready for cultivation,
In announcing the readiness Of
the railroad to take the lead in adj
vertising such offerings, Mr.. Downs
says: "The Central Of Georg be-
lieves, in the light of past cxeperl-
ence, that these requirements are
not unreasonable. We know that
this section possesses productive
land which can be bought for prices
which are relatively low when COM
pared with those in othcr sections
which are successful in attracting
home-seekers. We believe that the
problem which must be solved is to
offer these lands in such way as
will give desirable settlers a real
opportunity to buy"
Those interested in taking ad-
vantage of the Ccntral's offer
should write to J. F. Jackson, Gea-
eral Agricultural Agent of the rail
road, at Savannah, Georgia. Il is
believed that MANY con: munitieS can

the molting hens. 1t has been found
that this mash is the best main feed
for Noting fowls. If it is used in
conjunction with green food, grit,
charcoal and clean drinking water,
the melting birds should change
their plumage without difficulty.
1t will be found that the mott af-
fects birds differently. Some mott

the process. 1t is to the latter that
the poultryman must devote special

mean a shortage of eggs at time

Governor Explains
the State ArmOry
Law, for Benefit of
Lewiston Citizens

Gov. Baxter, Wednesday, wrote a
letter to Mayor Louis J. Brann of
Lewiston saying that the citizens of
Lewiston are to decide the pending
armory question III that city. that
the State takes no part and that it
has no advice to offer.
The citizens of Lewiston are to
decide whether or not they will
transfer their new armory and au-
ditorium to the State" continues
Gov. Baxter in the letter.
ARTICLES have appeared in the
daily papers of your city that pur-
port TO give my Interpretation of
the present armory law. These ar
ticles have not been authorized by
me and | think it may be helpful
for the citizens of Lewiston to have
my opinion of the law.
"Considering the laws of 1919 and
1921 together. l believe that if the
Lewiston armory is decided to the
state that the State Armory Com
mission will have ABSOLUTE control
over the property. and that before
the municipal authorities can use
il. or authorize it's use by others.
the said authorities first must Sc
cure the approval of the Armory
Commission.
"Our State law authorizes the use
of the armory for other than mill
tary purposes. but if the building is
transferred to the State. the Arm
DRY Commission has final jurisdic-
ton to decide whether or not such
use is an interference with its use
for military purposes.
"The citizens of Lewiston are to
decide the pending question and the
State takes no part in it and has no
advice to offer. We stand ready to
fulfil our obligations. / do, however,
desire to congratulate your city upon
it's splendid public spirit that made
possible such beautiful and useful

 Man Faces Murder Charge
 Bert Webster, who roomed in the Willis apartment, and who drove the automobile which carried the body of Baldwin to San Bernandino, where it was thrown over an embankment, Is being held by the police. A murder charge may be placed against him. the police say.
 Mrs. Willis admits that she loves Webster. Police say that, because of the fact, they are inclined to doubt parts of the story of the killing as told by Mrs. Willis. The detectives said that the trunk, in which Mrs. Willis cram med pr. Baldwin's body after the mur- der, was delivered to her apartment on the morning of the staying. The trunk had been in storage for six months. She said that she had sent for the trunk because she needed it to transport books and papers from her apartment to her real estate brokerage office in Vermont avenue.
 The police are unable to understand why Mrs. Willis, if her story that she shot Dr. Baldwin when he attempted to attack her is true, should have put his body in the trunk less than half hour after the killing. kept it in her room for more than twenty-four hours and then disposed of it.
