CAV in the inquiry into the death Of
Mrs. Theresa w. Mors, here August

Mccoy, fx-pugiIist, is held on a
murder charge.
Attorneys for Mccoy today were
organizing their forces for an attack
on the iron ring of evidence which
District Attorney Reyes believes he
has welded around the 51-year-old
fighter.
: While they would not divulge their
plans, they took occasion yesterday
to deny categorically that these
plans provided for plea OF guilty
by Mccoy when he appears before
Judge Charles S. Grail next Monday.
The former motion picture actor and
boxer was arraigned yesterday on
the murder charge, as well a s on
three charges of assault with intent
to kill and four charges of robbery
growing out of a shooting affray
staged in and near Mrs. Mors' an
tique shop several hours after her
death.
Before his attorneys could ask for
a postponement of the plea until
Monday Mccoy shouted out in an
Swer to the murder charge: Il did
not!' To the other charges he was
Indifferent.
Meanwhile, arrangements were
made for his examination by addi-
tional defense alienists, although
there had been no repetition of the
antics which Tuesday caused detec-
tives to express the belief that the
kids mind had cracked under the
strain of the sh- otings and his SUB
sequent arrest.

defense was revealed yesterday when
$1,000 worth of jewels, which AL
bert A. Mors declared were taken
from his wife, were recovered by
police from Mrs. Jennie Thomas,

Public Sale This Year
Last year each farmer sold the
produce from the Lords Acre along
with his other crops, but this year
the members plan to make a great
day of the sale. All the produce
from these dedicated acres will be
brought to one central place as it is
made ready for market, and when
all has been assembled, a public sale
will take place, disposing of the en-
tire lot at one time.
Beginning early this year organ
lied effort was put back of the
Lords Acre" movement, particu
larly by Georgia Baptists. A tract
was prepared by DR.. Arch Cree, of
Baptist headquarters, in Atlanta,
telling of the advantages of this
method, and was used by field
workers in urging every rural
church in Georgia to give it trial.
Enlistment Field Secretary j, L..
ClaXton, of Albany, makes the esti-
mate that over 100 churches in
southwest Georgia now have mem
bers cultivating a Lords Acre. He
states that an average of i've acres
has been set aside by each of the
100 churches. Estimating the yield
at only $40 an acre, the total output
would reach 100000.
The agreement signed by the orig
inal seven reads:
1--WE, the undersigned farmer
members of the Bluffton Baptist
church, hereby agree to plant, cult
Vate and harvest one acre from our
farm Said acre to be known as the
Lords Acre We agree to turn the
proceeds of said acre into a commit
tee appointed by the church. They
are to dispose of same and distribute
the funds derived from it in such
manner as we may instruct.

NASHVILLE TOBACCO
MARKET VISITED BY
BEN HILL BOOSTERS

NASHVILLE, Ga, Aug. 21.-
Taking the advice of Bill Anderson,
of the state highway department,
one hundred Fitzgerald and Ben Hill
county business men and farmers
came to Nashville Wednesday to get
the inspiration vouchsafed by Bill.
From all outward indications they
got it with three warehouses filled
with the golden leaf and hundreds
of wagons and trucks awaiting floor
space on this the eleventh sales day.
They found the picture barely
doing justice to the reality. Tobacco
is everywhere. There is no anxiety
about boil weevils in the future for
this section. Farmers are planning
for general diversification with to-
bacco as a neucleus around which
the. COW, hog and hen program will
play its part.
William r. Bowen. president of
the Fitzgerald Chamber of Com
merce; j. j. Dorminey, president Of
the First National bank. and j. E.
Turner, vice president of the EX-
change National of Fitzgerald. are
heading the delegation. A delegation
of Hahira citizens, headed by w. w.

reau, came over to extend invitatio
to visit their city, the original home
