Waited on Hand and Foot by Hel
Devoted Clan.

There has arrived at the New York
city ZOO a colony of parasol ants, a
queen and her kingdom complete. The
queen is really queen, for the does
nothing but lay eggs, and the more
she lays the more popular she is. In

Food is brought to her and regular at
PENDANTS look after her comfort at all
hours of hte day and night.

hold them above their heads like a
parasol They have enormous strength.

are either killed by their companions
or turned out in the world to starve

G. M. c. COACH ELATED AT
LOCAL FOOTBALL TIMBER
Great Things Expected by Trainer OF
Jack Jones at Quarter.

An article in the sporting section OF
the Macon Telegraph, written by the
coach OF athletics at G. NJ. c. at Mil
ledgeville, states that much faith in
the backfe1d is put in Jack Jones, OF
Dawson, who will attend that school
next year Jones was in a list of four
new students whom the coach was
glad to secure for the school.
Jones was for two years valuable
man on the Dawson high school elev-
en-one year at tackle and one year
at quarterback. Not only do the Daw-
son people agree with the G. M. c.
coach that he is receiving good timber
in Jones, but they are equally as con-
fident that the Dawson boy will sue
coed.

COUNTY BOARD IN
FAVOR OF TOBACCO
BANKS ALSO RECOMMEND 1T
AS GOOD SIDE CROP. URGE
PLANTING OF 1000 ACRES.

A meeting of the County Agricul-
tural Board was held Thursday after
noon for the purpose of mapping out
farm program for the ensuing year.
Besides members OF the board repre-
sentatives from the three banks of the
city were present.
The most important discussion CEN
tered around the probability of to-
bacco warehouse in Dawson next year.
County Agent Gibson made an inter
esting talk in which he told of his
trip through the tobacco belt of the
Carolinas. He said he had been
positively assured that if 1000 acres OF
tobacco were planted in this vicinity
minimum of seven buyers would
be in Dawson next season, thus assur-
ing the highest prices and a steady
market
Members of the board and the rep
resentatives of the banks expressed
themselves as strongly in favor of a
tobacco market in Dawson, and stated
that they would assist in securing the
necessary acreage. 1t was decided that
week should be spent in ascertain
ing if the required acreage can be Sc
cured, when another meeting will be
held to receive the report. Mr.. Gibson
stated that large number of families
in the Carolinas desired to move to
south Georgia and grow tobacco.
Will Buy Feeder Pigs.
1t was agreed that feeder pigs are
a good investment and Mr.. Gibson
was authorized to make a search for
several carloads of pigs. They are
very scarce this year, and are expected
to bring a fancy price in the spring.
The board adopted farm program
that includes as side crops tobacco,
asparagus, hairy vetch Gas a winter
legume), and Bermuda onions. Onions
were decided on as a good side crop
after Mr.. R. B. Heath had shown a
net profit of $185 per acre on small
plot that he planted last winter. Hog
raising and poultry culture were also
1t is possible for Carolina families
to be secured for Terrell lands in
which event many thousands of dol
lars could be realized from tobacco
before the cotton season opens.
The season just closing has been
one of the hardest ever known on to-
, bacco plants and in addition Terrell
growers had the expense of the build
ing OF barns, yet nearly every one
broke even or made a small amount
of money.
Opportunity is once more knocking
at the county's door, and only little
cooperation on the part of Terrell
farmers is necessary for a bounteous
year.

W0MAN'S SAD STORY
IMPRESSES COURT
Colored Mother Declares She Has
Been Starving for Months
Deprived of Children.

A pitiful story was related in Po-
lice Court today in the case of Esther
lchor, colored, charged with vagrancy.
Esther, in doleful voice, told
Judge Mcmahon of her unhappy ex-
lstence during the past six months.
Her story was coherent and convinc-
ing. SO much so was 1T that the
judge had her case continued so a
thorough investigation could be made
TOT the purpose of seeing if some
thing could be done for her.
According to her testimony. Esther
came from South Carolina, where her
father is now living. Two children
were with her, boy and a girl. The
boy was sent to charitable institu-
tion at Blue Plains, Va, and the girl
Is being held at the House of Deten-
tion here.
Esther wants them back with her
The boy is 10, and the girl g. She
has been unable to find work and has
been literally starving for many
months She lived for a while in n
dilapidated shack in the Southwest
but soon was dispossessed. She then
entered vacant dwelling in despera-
ton to keep the cold Winter as far
away as possible.
A little straw was her only bed
Now and then some people would give
her a little food, but oftener they
did not. A few scraps, she stated,
she got out of garbage cans, but not
continuously for sometimes the dogs
got there first
She told the judge that she used to
get a check now and then from her
father in the South, but that for a
long time she hadn't heard from him.
81 won't be a bother much longer"
she said, FOR I can't live much long
er-not this way, anyway"
Many people poster me. If they
want to beat me they just beat me-
If they want to give me a piece of
bread, they do. But that don't hap
pen much. They just do to me as they
like. 1 do want my children again;
please see If you can get them"
Efforts are being made by the
Pro baton Office to get in touch with
Esther's father and see IL he can't
send for her and the children.

MRS. PECK APPEALS
AGAINST MATTINGLY
Asks Higher Court to Demand
Municipal Judge to Order
Tenant Dispossessed.

Mrs Frances F. Peck, owner of
premises 211A Morgan street north
west, today asked the District Court
of Appeals for a writ of mandamus
requiring Robert f. Mattingly, judge
of the Municipal Court, to grant her
judgment for possession of the
property against her tenant, Jacob
H. Fink. The petitioner tells the
court that Judge Mattingly disre-
garded the mandate of the appellate
court, which had reversed a former
decision of Judge Mattingly and di-
rected the entry of a Judgment. for
posse ession in her favor.
Through Attorney Louis Gutenberg
Mrs. Peck says her rights have been
infringed by the action of Judge Mat
tingly in declining to grant her a
judgment and that she is without
adequate remedy unless the appel
late tribunal will compel the signing
of the Judgment in accordance with
it's decision that the housing emer-
gency has passed and there is no con-
stitutional basis for the extension OF
the Ball rent act
The refusal of Judge Mattingly is
called "unqualifled' and the claim is
made that further proceedings in the
case through the usual channels
would be futile and vain" in view
of the expressed intention of Judge
Mattingly not to follow the decision
of the appellate court. She would
have no assurance, the petitioner
states, that should the court grant a
new writ of error and reaffirm it's
former decision that obedience there
to would follow from the Municipal
Court and more particularly" by
Judge Mattingly.

CHANGE In RATE LAW

Opponents of the Gooding long and

tack against the measure before the
House commerce committee today.
Representatives of shippers leading
off with a statement of their views
Four days have been allotted to foes
of the proposal to present arguments
and reply to proponents who were
heard last week.
J. 2. Haynes of Chicago, represent
ing the National Industrial Traffic
League, declared the fourth section
of the interstate commerce act, known
as the long and short haul clause,
is adequate to protect the interests of
every party connected with trans
portation. The Gooding bill deals
with this section and would do away
with the power of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to suspend the
stipulations that railroads are not to
charge less for a long than for a
short haul over the same route.
League" said Mr.. Haynes, "is opposed
to the rigid application of the long
and short haul principle This prir
ciple applied in rate-making without
the possibility of fourth section re-
lief would put the commerce of the
country in straightjacket would
restrict industry, prevent mass pro-
duction and eliminate the free play
