African
ziH77kEeSS
Cotton Seed


Anyone who sends one dollar
for a years subscription to the
Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal
can get postpaid one pound of the
celebrated African Limbless Cot
ton Seed without charge.
A pound of these seed will
plant one-fifth of an acre, and
with proper attention should
yield enough to plant a crop.
The seed were tested in a list
of thirty varieties by the Georgia
Experiment Station and a bull
letin recently issued by Director
Redding shows that the African
Limb1ess Cotton produced 20
pounds more per acre than any
other variety, and 161 pounds
more per acre than the average
of thirty leading varieties.
The African Limbless Cotton
produced $50 pounds of lint per
acre, which is nearly four times
the average on the farms of the
South. This shows what high
fertilization and thorough cult
ure will do with these excellent
Seed. The value of the product,
counting cotton at cents and
seed at 10 cents a bushe1, was
over $45 per acre. The cost of
fertilizers used was SAT- per acre.
The Journal does not guarantee
results, but the result of the test
at the Experiment Station makes
it worth a farmers while to test
these seed when he can get them
for nothing.
The Journal brings you the
News OF THE WORLD TWICE A
WEEK, with hundreds of articles
of special interest about the farm,
the household, juvenile topics,
ETC., and every Southern farmer
should have the paper.
You don't have to wait a week
for the news, but get it twice as
often as you do in the week1ies,
which charge the same price.

that he found the pistol in the country sew

We only had them the first two weeks we

piled with bread. For Thanksgiving the
captain and lieutenants of our company
gave US roast pig, canned peas, pears, jam

by the men. We get more to eat now than
we did in the states, and the boys look
much better, and some Of them are getting
fat.
Our hospital is well equipped, and the
men in there get the best of attention We
also have a large bath tub in there to give
the fever patients an ice bath, which is a
blessing to the sick. The hospital is kept

TAX on BICYCLES.
Views of Collector Davis and Conn
missioner Beach. Respectively.


missioner Beach. Respectively.
The District Commissioners have received
from the collector of taxes a report on the
proposition to impose tax on plcycies.
The collector SAYS that If there is popular
demand on the part of bicycle owners lor
the proposed legislation, with view OF Sc
curing protection for their machines, MS
office can see no objection to it. owing 10
the fact" he said, that the bicycle Is SO
universally used both for business ana
pleasure. it would seem that regulations
should be adopted whereby police super
vision could be exercised over this con-
stantfy increasing method of travel, anu
at the same time serve to protect the owner
from loss.
Il know of no better way than that sug-
gested by Mai Sylvester, but L thlnk the
fee shouid be 81 instead of 30 cents, which
amount would probably be necessary 10
cover all the costs of collecting ana Tag
ging the machines.
Capt. Beach. the Engineer commissioner
feels that 1t Is hardly just and equitable TO
tax BICYCLES when all other vehicles are not
taxed as will appear from the lndofse-
ment made in the case by him:
1T hardly seems just and equitable to
place a tax upon bicycles, when other We
hicles using the highways are not taxed at
all The imposition of Il tax upon bicycles
only would appear to be improper dlscrim-
nation The question of tagging bicycles
with numbers sufficiently large to be visible
at a distance of the width Of the street be-
comes serious when it is considered that
the numbers which would have to be USED
would run to five places"
1t is understood that Commissioner Ross
has not yet expressed his opinion in the
matter. if he has yet reached one, and the
question will probably not be finally decid-
ed by the Commissioners until after they
have had a joint conference upon 1t.
