Wherein Coffee is Peculiar.

Probably every one who has noticed
the green and roasted coffee sitting to-
yether in sacks in the dealers storehouse
has observed the difference in size of the
beans. 1t is pecuiiarity of coffee that
IN roasting, while it loses considerable in
weight, it gains in bulk At the reddish
brown stage the loss Of weight has been
about fifteen per cent. and the gain in
bulk about thirty at the chestnut brown,
twenty and fifty per cent. respectively,
and if carried to a dark brown, twenty
five and sixty. 1t is in the roasting that,
the volantile oil, to which the delight
full aroma is due, is developed, as it is
not present in the green berry. If the
roasting is carried too far-bey ond a
light brown-this oil is injured or de
stroyed, and the disappointed house
keeper property complains that the
coffee has been roasted to death.
It NAV not be known that coffee from
IS absorbent qualities, forms quite re
liable barometer. When the atmosphere
is humid and there is probability of II
rainstorm, the beans are very tenaciol,

SOW WHEAT.

We would urge upor the farmers
of Cobb county to put in goo /
crop Of wheat this serson. Now is
the time. Land plentifully fertilized
with good homemade manure and
some bone dust will more than re-
turn a good yield. If our people
are to ever throw off this nightmare
OF all cotton, now is good time to
begin. They can never be self-sus-
tanning until they do. The scarcity
OF breadstuffs in Europe, drawing
upon this country for food, will nee
essarlly last longer than the next
season, and the price cannot posi-
bly, tall. Home-consumption de-
mands that our farmers should put
IN large acreage of wheat. If not
a large acreage, each farmer could
put in several acres, whiclA would
make the aggregate something that
would help swell the Golfers of our
farmers. The farmer cannot fail to
make a good crop Of wheat il he will
SOW now and put plenty of good
homemade manure on the land.
Prosperity will be long ways off
from that farmer who continues to
neglect the production of wheat,
rye, oats, corn and peas. Let this
matter not be neglected any longer,
but decide at once to make deter
mined, Industrious effort to make a
good wheat crop. If you try it, you
will not regret it. 1t will put mon

MORE MONEY.

The whole country is crying for
more money, and more money, they
Will have. The Democratic party
is going to make its next battle the
strongest cfall it's former battles for
more money and easier times, and is
going into the campaign with more
powerful forces than ever before.
Just what plan will be decided upon
to tree the country from hard times
and put more money in the pockets
of the poverty stricken farmers has
not We. been agreed upon, but these
matters will all be satisfactorily set
tied at the next National Conven-
ton of Observation-Disclosures Banner.
Yes, the cry for more money,
ever has been and ever will be. The
man who hasn't any, wants some !;
the man who has some wants more.
But how the Democratic party, the
Republican party or any mythical
Third Party, can put more money
into the pockets of any body by a
National Convention" passes our
comprehension. Congress may and
ought 20 pass a dill for the free
coinage of silver, but a warehouse
might be packed with silver dollars
and yet if man didn't have some
thing to give in exchange for silver
dollars he wouldn't geta nickle. The
Government, nor any political party,
can put money in the peoples peck
ct. 1t takes industry to get money
and it takes economy to keep it.
The man who thinks money can be
leglslated into his rocket is badly
deceived. If the sub-treasury bill
should become law, it would not put
money in mans pocket unless he
has cotton, corn, wheat or land tc
give as collateral security. The
principle of borrowing is bad under
any circumstance. 1t is the cost
lest way to put money in mans
pocket that he ever tried. No mat
ter how cheap he borrows money
its dear money, and what he want,
to strive to do is to be selt-sustain
ing.

Cassidy, convicted in September

murder of Fletcher Garwood, anC
sentenced TO life Imprisonment. In
granting the pardon the governor
states in his order" that the circum.
stances of the killing show that it
was not intentional, and that it re-
suited from criminal negligence, and
the man killed was his friend,
against whom he had no malice or
cause for ill. feeling" The Judge
and the solicitor both recommended
the pardon, and reports from the

Browns statement of the case is
