lands appeal to many farmers resid-
inp in other sections. He believes that
the FIVE essential requirements to at
tract settlers are farms capable OF
profitable crop production, reasonably
priced of a workable size, for sale up
IN favorable terms and with modern
The Central of Georgia is willing
n advertise such farms in publica-
tons which are read by the class OF
home-seekers desired, and to prepare
and mail pamphlets which will set
forth the advantages of this section
for hone-seekers, provided that the
land owners. real estate agents, COM

further suggested that suitable inn
provements of some definite arrange
ments TO finance the construction OF
buildings should be offered and that
at least one-third to one-half OF the
land should be cleared and ready Tor
cultivation.
In announcing the readiness OF the
railroad to take the lead in advertising
such offerings Mr.. Downs says; The
Central OF Georgia believes. in the
light Of past experiences, that these
requirements are not unreasonable.
We know that this section possesses
productive land which can be bought
Tor prices which are relatively low
when compared with those in other
sections which are successful in at
tracing home seekers. We believe
that the problem which must be SOW
ed is to offer these lands in such a
way as will give desirable settlers
real opportunity to buy"
Those interested in taking advant-
age of the Central's offer should write
to !. F. Jackson, General Agricultural
Agent Of the railroad. at Savannah,
Georgia. 1t is believed that many
communities can easily qualify with
the conditions set forth, and that den
mite progress will follow the railroad
initiative.

GEORGIA GAVE BIG
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY
LAFOLLETTE'S VOTE IN THE
STATE SURPRISINGLY SMALL.
AMENDMENTS RATIFIED.

In the election Tuesday Georgia
gave John w. Davis, democratic can
ddate for president, $4,000 votes,
Coolidge 10000 and LaFollette 10000.
Cox received 107, 162 votes in 1920
and Harding 1920.
The only counties to fall into the
republican column were Pickens, Har-
Alison and Gi1mer, north Georgia coun-
ties that return normal republican ma
jorities in national elections. No coun-
ty cast a plurality OF votes for LaFol-
lette.
For governor Clifford Walker re-
ceived 10000 votes to 1850 for his
opponent, H. Bedinger Baylor.
There was no opposition to any OF
the other democratic nominees for
state house Offices United States Sen
ator Harris and all of the democratic
nominees for congress were nominal
ed without opposition.
Final returns show victory for the
eight proposed amendments to the
state constitution The ratio OF victory
ranged from less than 3 to in the
case of the Peach county amendment,
the most stifly opposed, to 5 to in
the case of the Brunswick and Savan-
nah port bonds amendment. The
amendment for biennial sessions of
the legislature was carried overwhelm-
ingly.
Two republican candidates for the
legislature were elected over demo-
cratic opponents-J. E. Barnard, in
Towns county, and Henry M. Stanley,
in Fannin county.
A commission government reteren-
dunn in Savannah was defeated.

DIFFICULT TO FIND
GOOD INVESTMENTS
SIC, 900, 100000 IDLE CREDIT IN
NATIONAL BANKS. INTER
EST RATE TOO LOW.

Not within generation has it been
so hard for the American investor to
put an honest dollar to work in Sc
curity at fair interest rates, writes
Harden Colfax, the well-known news
paper correspondent, from Washing
ton. Reports of the federal reserve
board disclose an idle bank credit in
national banks alone amounting to
more than $20,000,000,000, and other
agencies advise that Notwithstanding
the recent plethora of bond offers OPP
portunity for good investment of idle
dollars has not been so unfavorable
for upwards of 80 years.
The twelve federal reserve banks
according to the boards statement to-
day, have gold reserves totaling 3d.
043000,000. In contrast with that
mountain of gold the banks combined
statement shows that only $222,265,-
600 of the sum is at work in the form
of loans. This is shrinkage of near
.lv IS per cent, or more than $660, 000,-
600 within a year. Only 7 per cent OF
the gold reserve is wanted, at the
present time, as loans. Three years age
more than 40 per cent was outstand-
ing in that form.
States and Cities Borrowing.
Low interest rates have spurred the
states and cities to borrow money or
scale seldom equaled in the past
and these offerings have been snapped
up like crumbs by hungry investors
The record discloses that municipal
financing during the first nine months
of 1924 exceeded, in the amount OF
long-term borrowings, the entire sun
borrowed by municipalities in 1928
Between January and September, in,
elusive, states and cities had hoateo
long term bonds aggregating lisa,
$4,000 as compared with total O
Sill, 100000 during the year 1875
Within five years municipal long-tern
borrowings have jumped more thai
100 per cent.
The current wear will easily estab
fish a new record in this respect, ex
ceeding by many millions the preylou:
big borrowing mark Of 81 ,303, 5/O,OO'
established in 1921. .
Short term borrowings OF mun1ci
oalities have responded to the same
snur. the total for the first nine months
Of 1924 being $552,050,000, as compar
ed with $497 100000 during the yea
1928. The record of this class OF Dor
rowings also was established in l9E-
at S762, 100000. 1t may be equaled II

much money has been the boosting
of stock prices. Investors have beer

GEORGIA HAS $4,000
BEARING FIG TREES
TO BRING FRUIT TO PERFEC-
TON POLLINATION NECES-
SARY THROUGH WASP.

The United States Department oil
Agriculture has recently issued a bull
letin on fig growing in the south
which should be of a great deal OF in
terest to horticulturists and others liv-
ing in this section. The government
tells us that aside from California the
only states in which fig growing is
of any real Importance are the South
Atlantic group, from Virginia south
ward, and those which border the
Gull of Mexico. In 1910 California had
100000 fig trees of bearing age, but
this number has increased greatly in
the past decade. Virginia in 1910 had
1916 bearing trees, North Carolina
.21.O54, South Carolina l4,807, Georgia
4o, 424, Florida 1874 Alabama 52,73l
Mississippi 65,397, Louisiana Al ,4o4
and Texas 230,111. No other state had
as many as 5000.
Figs are very easy to grow. The
trees require very little attention once
they get started and in this immediate
vicinity to stick fig twig into the
earth usually starts fig tree grow
ing. There is no question about the
marketing OF the product. If the fruit
cannot be sold fresh it makes a most
palatable preserve, and California dries
several million pounds annually.
In the South Atlantic states to bring
the fig to perfection pollination is nee
essary through the Blastophaga,
certain species of wasp. These have
been introduced in fig culture in Sa-
vannah and have made number OF
barren trees productive.
There is no question that at some
time in the future fig production IL
! the South Atlantic states will be an
important and remunerativc enter
prise.

NEW YORK, N. WAL street
registered its approval Wednesday Of
the results OF Tuesdays election by
pouring an avalanche OF buying orders
into the stock market, which carried
nearly two score issues to new peak
prices for the year on net gains that
ran from / to 81 points. Total sales,
which approximated nearly l,7500O0
shares, were the largest Of any single
session in about two years.
While the market was without defi-
mite information as to the complete
makeup of the next congress indica-
tons that President Coolidge would
have a working majority in both the
senate and house stimulated the buy
ing of all classes OF stocks Rails were
particularly strong on the speculative
theory that the failure of the radicals
to obtain a dominating position as
sured the safety of the transportation
act of 1920, facilitating the consumma-
ton of several large railroad mergers
now pending, and improved the posi-
bility OF increased dividend payments
on some of the high grade issues,
notably New York Central and Atchi-
son, current earnings on which are
well above present dividend equip
ments.
London Pleased.
London's financial community also
reacted favorably to the Coolidge vic
tory, buying orders for sterling ex-
change from that center being OF sui
ficient proportions to carry the rate

GEORGIA FARMER ABDUCTED
BY AUTOISTS, TAKEN TO
FLORIDA AND FLOGGED.
WEIRD AFFAIR AT ORLANDO
Dorminy's Wife Died Wednesday, and
He Was Wanted on Charge of De-
sorting Her and Child. His Abduc-
tors Sought for Prosecution.

ORLANDO, Florida.-One of the
weirdest tales of arrest and its pre-
liminaries was disclosed Friday fol-
lowing the arrest of f. F. Dorminy,
of Dublin. Ga, who was kidnapped ear
ly Thursday morning in front of his
fathers home near Dublin, and car
ried to Orlando by three men, who
forced him to accompany them to the
cemetery, where, in the presence OF
nearly twenty-five men, he was COM
PEELED to dig up the coffin of his wife,
who was buried here on Wednesday.
While excitement was running high
in Dublin, Ga, over the apparent kid
naping, police excitement was created
here upon the discovery that the kid
mapped man was one for whom war
rant was sworn out more than year
ago on a charge OF nonsupport OF his
wife.
On Monday morning Mrs. Dorminy,
aged 10, died i'll this city, leaving a
FIVE weeks old baby in the care OF her
father, and a second warrant was
sworn out charging Dorminy with nom
support OF his child.
The Kidnapping.
Early Thursday morning Dominy,
who is the son of well-to-do Georgia
farmer, was asked to step down the
road and help three men fix their car,
which was disabled When he reached
the car, the young man stepped in to
try the starter. A tussle ensued and
Dominy was overpowered.
Nearby persons saw the car start
off. Dorminy was forced into the back
seat. hit on the head with a revolver
and then tied.
When the three men, whom Dormi-
ny did not recognize, reached Orlan-
do they took him to the cemetery.
Mrs. Livingston Dorminy was buried
Wednesday in Greenwood cemetery.
AT the grave Dorminy was surrounded,
according to those who went bond Tor
him later, by between Is and IS men.
He was forced to dig to the coffin, and
then when it was raised made to open
it and look upon the face OF his dead
wife, and then was attacked by the
group OF men and severely beaten.
When he was released by the men
he was noticed on the street by one OF
the plainclothes force, in a bloody
condition, and taken to the police sta
ton on suspicion. There it was learn
ed that a warrant had been taken out
for his arrest and he was held until
morning, when he was released on
$500 bond
SO far as is known no clue has been
revealed as to the identity of the men
who went to Georgia and brought
Dorminy to Florida.
