GEORGIA'S BEST FARMER.
A Prominent Farmer Proposes to Let Cot
ton Alone for Awhile.


ton Alone for Awhile.
G. w. Truitt of Troup county, one of
the best known cotton growers in Geor-
gia, and who is recognized as champion
of the art of making the greatest number
of bales TO the acre, was in the city yes.
terday AID spoke interestingly of the con-
ditiOn OF the cotton crop iC his county
Mr.. Truitt brought samples of May, June
and July cotton and showed the coudi-
ton of each crop. The cotton planted in
May, which is usually good crop, has
this year only few bols to the stalk
and is little better than a failure. The
June crop is almost ansabsoldte failure,
while the July crop shows few bios
SONS. On cotton planted earlier Mr..
Truitt made fairly good crop and will
get 200 bales from 500 acres. He says the
crop is off 30 percent. this year, and at
tributes it to the drought early in the
summer and the heavy rains later. The
farmers of l'roup are going to plant their
land in grain this winter and will
let colt n severely alone. Mr..
Truitt says that with the money
the farmers of Troup use to buy
guano, mules and rations for planting
cotton they intend to buy spot cotton
and hold it until the price goes up. In
this way they can make money on cotton
without going to the trouble and expense
of raising it without realizing anything
on it. The grain crop to be gathered in
froup county next year will be large
one, and it is thought that all the farmers
there will carry out their present inten~
tons of buying cotton and sowing grain.
Mr.. Truitt says that in 1894 when cotton
was low, he had to carry a hog to market
with each Load of cotton; now he says,
he has to carry the same hog and ties a
beef steer ON behind. He raises hogs and
beeves to a considerable extent. and in
tends to let cotton severely alone for a
while aC least.

MILITARISM.
The American People Have Drunk Deep OF
That Poisonous c. D.

That Poisonous Ctp,
Speaking If the nomination of Teddy
Roosevelt as republican governor of New
York the New Orleans States says:
and we think that in all likell hood
this infamy will be crowned with sue
cess. The American people have runk
deep of the poisoned cup Of mIltar ism.
They run wild over man who has won
victory on the sea or fought "a battle
on land, and q military hero in a co untry
whose institutions are builded on a
written constitution and whose best
safeguards are the civic virtues of its
people and its rulers is preferred over
the wisest, noblest and most patriotic
statesmen OF course we do not fear
that Teddy Roosevelt will ruin the re-
public. He is not big enough timber for
that. And no man named Teddy ever
did or ever will crush the liberties of
the people. Teddy is good name for a
lady's lap-dOg, but it is not name that
will ever shake republics or issue an or
der from under the shadow of a crown,
1t is not from the ted1ies who write
false history and swear to falsehoOds to
evade their share of taxation that the
danger is to come. 1t is from the peo-
pie themselves. No tyrant ever con-
quered a race Of freedom. 1t is the de.
based and demoralized people who, in
fatuated with the glitter Of Imperialism,
fall on their faces before the military
idol of the hour and permit the Man on
Horseback TO ride over their vile and
PROSTATE necks.p

"North Carolina occupies a most

gives the percentage of illiteracy by
States,' said President Charles D.
McIver, of the State Normal and In
dustrial college at Greensboro, to Il
Post reporter, who sought him at
the Raleigh.
"But | wish to say that it would
be very Unfair to gauge the State by
such statistics, seeing that the bulk
of our people are as intelligent,
aspiring and progressive as any in
the Union. We have, unfortunately,
a large element of illiterate citizens,
owing to peculiar conditions, bat
heroic forts are being made to
remedy this condition Of things, and
| believe that in the next few years
we will be able to stand before the
country in much better light.
BeOce the war we paid our school
teachers higher average salaries than
in some of the New England States,
but since that epoch lack Of means
has been the greatest difficulty in the
way of afording enlightenment to

The genius and energy of our
| best men have hitherto been given to
Industrial development. and how
| well they have succeeded is shown in

THE WAR LOAN.
The Subscriptions Now Amount 10

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The sub
scriptions to the new 3 per cent. war
loan OF 5000, 600, 900, which closed at 3
o'clock this afternoon, including the
offers made by syndicateS, will amount
OF $1,000, coo, 900 or six times the
amount Of the issue. The subscrip-
tions represented by checks or other
forms Of payment, it. is estimated.
will aggregate about $3.50, 900, 900 or 81
times the amount OF the issue. E Irly
this week Assistant Secretary Nerlip,
who has had Immediate supervision
OF the work in connection with the
loan, became convinced that the sub
scriptions OF individuals would he fan
more than sufficient to wholly absorb
the loan, and gave instructions that
checks representing all subscription
of corporations be prepared and re-
| turned to senders tonight. 1t is
thought at the Treasury Department
| that no individual subscriptions as
high as $4,000 Will receive an allot

Sensible Cycle Shoes.

It Is pleasant to note that women
seem likely to abate or perhaps to abau-
don the absurd practice of having their
cycling shoes, in effect, extend nearly to
the knees. 1t has not been considered
by either sex that a neat foot and well
turned ankle are an i'll looking object,
and the Logging which has been much
in vogue cannot have been chosen for
its beauty. AS women do not wheel in
cold weather, it should be enough to
suggest that excessive bundling of the
person cannot conduce to comfort and
may tend, to that undesired redness of
face. Pedaling must certainly be diff
cult and ankling must be painfully SO
