Cost Him Something When Up
Before Mayor Lowrey.

"Big Babe" Clements gave lady
some impotence Wednesday and it
got him into trouble, as is almost
invariably the case.
Clements was riding bicycle and
failed to dlsmount when he met lady
on the sidewalk. This was in violation
of city ordinance, and the lady asked
why he did not dismount His reply
was that it was because he did not
want to. In this case words were
golden for Mayor Lowrey imposed a
fine of 81 or - days on the streets up
on Clements.
The negro was already out on bond
for an alleged highway rooery com
mitted last spring, but the gentleman
who signed the bond withdrew his
name because of the last offense
and Clements is now in Jail. His case
for highway robbery will be called
ut the November term of Terrell
superior court.

At the convention of Cotton States
Commissioners of Agriculture, in ses-
sion at Hot Springs, Ark, last week, a
report of the committee on uniform
fertilizer, guarantees and laws was one
of the features of the session. 1t recon-
mends to the legislatures of the cot

Georgia, which practically bars the
lower grades of fertilizers from the
markets.
The estimate of the commissioners
for the cotton crop for 1901 is $500, 600
bales. This estimate is based on gov
ernment and state reports and the
observation of the commissioners.

appointed by the chair to appear be-
fore the congressional postal commit
tee and recommend that all printed
matter and seeds mailed by the agri-
cultural departments of the states of

ing the movement in the southern
states looking towards establishin g
