MIR. John Harris, Well Known
Here, Killed in Auto Accident

Word was received in Atlanta Tues.
day of the death in an automobile
accident of Mr.. John Harris, 26 years
old, former Albanian and brother
of Frank Harris, Tech football star.
The accident occurred Monday night
between Fort Myers and Gainesville,
Florida.
Mr.. Harris was we'll known in At
lanta, having graduated from Marist
College, and been in business here
before he moved to Fort Myers a
short time ago to enter the real es-
tate business. The body will be
brought to Atlanta Wednesday. He
is survived by his mother, Mrs. J. H.
Harris, of IS Woodcrest Avenue;
four brothers, Howard, Frank Ed
war and George Harris, all of At
lanta, and a sister, Mrs. Y. F. Free
man, also of Atlanta.-Atlanta Jour-
nal December 9th.
The above sad news will be read
with sincere regrets by the many
friends of the family in this city,
where the young man spent his early
years of boyhood and attended the
schools of Fitzgerald. A report of
the accident from Fl. Myers states
that Mr.. Harris had conveyed his
wife and friend of hers to Miami,
and was on his way to visit his moth
er in Atlanta, when the accident oc-
cured. The remains, according to
this information, will be returned to
Fl. Myers for interment.

County Service
Benefit Success

Surprising the highest hopes OF
it's projectors, the benefit picture
show of last Thursday Melted the Ii
brary for it's county service fund
the splendid returns of $272.50. Mr.
G. E. Kicker had some time ago made
the liberal proposition to give this
benefit which has been highly appre-
ciated by all concerned. However it
is due to Miss Smiths very efficient
advertising campaign and the splen-
did spirit of cooperation from both
city and county schools that the ad-
vance ticket sale and without any ad-
vance in price the proceeds were so
large. A prize of picture or ref
erence work was offered that school
district in the country and that ward
in the city which should make the
largest sale based on the percentage
plan. The First Ward in the city
was the winner and the Vaughn
Taylor School in the country, which
with a small enrolment, sold far
over 100 per cent in tickets. The
First Ward have $3.50 to their
credit. All the schools did fine. The
district boards co-operated too in al
lowing schools to dismiss in the aft
ernoon and the school BUSES to be
used in bringing the children to the
show. An early schedule of $3.50 p.
m. was arranged for the country chill
dren and it is worthy of comment
that the orderly quiet of these chill
dren was conspicuous by comparison
with the confusion in evidence at the
later programs. The picture was pro-
nounced especially good by all who
attended.

BRIGHT TOBACCO
CROP SITUATION
PRESENT TIME TO MAKE PREP.
ARATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR;
BRIGHT TOBACCO CROP IN Eek.
CESS OF LAST YEARS.

To County Agents:
1t is time to make plans for another
year. Some agents already have
plans underway with reference to the
tobacco crop. A number have writ
ten for suggestions. There are still
others who have made no definite
plans.
We believe it is time for con-
certed action and take this means of
soliciting your interest and coopera-
ton.
This years tobacco crop is little
smaller than last years crop. 1t is
also little under the average for the
last five years. There has been big
decrease in the hurley crop, but the
bright tobacco crop this year was co..
100000 pounds in excess of last
lear's crop. Experts have also Jagged
behind. However, the situation need
not be alarming. The trade should
be able to absorb the present supply
without further reductions in price
We have nothing to justify an in.
crease in the size of the tobacco
crop next year. 1t would be good
plan to just maintain our present pro.
duction. Our slogan should be "good
tobacco on smaller acreage"
We believe if campaigns were put
on to encourage the farmers to SOW
their tobacco beds early, from De-
cember Is to January 1st, a great
deal of good could be accomplished
We want the farmers to have next
years crop set in the field by the
first of April. Early tobacco makes
the best tobacco.
Encourage liberal fertilization of
the plant bed, not less than three
pounds of high grade fertilizer to
the square yard. 1t pays.
AS you know plenty of good early
plants is the key to success in the to-
bacco business. Insist on $50 to 200
square yards of bed to each five acres
to be planted.
Our experiments, experience and
observation indicate that for general
recommendation 1000 to 1,400
pounds per acre of an 8-3-5 fertilizer
is what is needed.
Encourage the use of light appli-
cation OF well-rotted stable manure
under the tobacco crop. 1t will in
crease the yield and improve the
quality fl
We feel certain that your business
men, tobacco warehousemen and
county paper will cooperate with you
in very effective way. The College
has plenty of tobacco bulletins that
may be obtained for the asking. Every
tobacco grower in your county should
have copy. Encourage your farm
ers to read them.
1t will not be possible for me to
visit your county before January.
will be glad to assist you in any way
that can.

ROBERT BONEY
AND 7. 5. SMITH
AUTO VICTIMS
DIED FROM INJURIES RECEIVED
IN ACCIDENT ON THE DIXIE
HIGHWAY LAST SUNDAY NEAR
ABBEVILLE

The death of Robert Boney Mon
day morning, and of T. j. Smith,
Tuesday afternoon, both injured in
an automobile accident Sunday night,
six miles north of Abbeville, caused
sincere regret to a large circle of
friends of the young man and the
families of the deceased.
The party consisted of Robert and
DR.. W. L. Boney, 7. j. Smith and
Cyrus Broadhurst, with a negro
chauffeur were on their return home
to this city from Hawkinsville, when
through some unexplained cause, six
niles north of Abbeville, on a fine
stretch of the Dixie Highway, the car
left the road and in the attempt by
the negro driver to bring it back into
the road, struck the rear end against
a tree, causing the occupants of the
rear seat, Robert Boney, T. ]. Smith
and Cyrus Broadhurst, to be thrown
from the car and were not missed by
DIR. Boney, who was riding in the
front seat with the driver, until they
brought the car back into the road
and stopped. DR.. Boney, in looking
for the missing, found Broad
hurst, who was not injured to any eX-
tent and needed no immediate assist
ance, and further looking for the
two others, reached his brother Rob-
ert, who expired in his arms soon
after reaching him. T. ]. Smith was
found unconscious and with evidence
of serious injuries, for whom assist
ance was secured from Abbeville,
where he was given medical aid. Lo-
cal physicians were sent to Abbeville
to render such aid as they found ex-
pedient.
Cyrus Broadhurst, who suffers
mostly from bruises, was brought to
the city and is rapidly improving at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Broadhurst.
The remains of Robert Boney were
brought to the city and were prepar-
ed for burial by Mr.. Paulk, of the
Home Furniture Co.

SHIP CARLOAD PECANS
TO PENNSYLVANIA

Atlanta, Ga.-A solid carload of
oceans, valued at $25, 900, has been
shipped from Albany, Ga, to Penn
sylvania, according to a report
made here in railroad circles. There
were $4,000 pounds of choice nuts
in the shipment.
That pecan growing in Georgia
has reached high state of perfec-
ton, bringing large sums to the
state, was pointed out by railway
officials. The revenue per acre
is said to be four or five times as
large as that produced by many
other paying crops in Georgia.,
Pecan groves have recently at
tracted the attention of visitors
from the east. One visitor, it was
stated, was so completely capti-
waited with the possibilities of
Georgia's pecans that he decided
to remain in the state and make a
purchase of groves.
