Inspection of Commercial Fertilizers.
One of the most important duties of
the Department of Agriculture is the
inspection of commercial fertilizers,
and upon the thorough, intelligent and
honest discharge of this duty depends,
in a large measure, the success of the
farmers of this State. 1t is, therefore,
of particular importance that the peo-
pie should know how this work has
been carried on. Under the law, this

Department is charged with the in
spection of all fertilizers, manufact

ing the fiscal years 1900 and 1901
there were sold in Georgia 891 ,602 tons
of fertilizers, all OF which was given
the most rigid and careful inspection.
To do this work it cost the Department
s4153 per thousand tons, as against
$43.27 per thousand tons paid by my
predecessor for the same work. From
this it will be seen that the decrease

A Very Queer Brother.

When Mayor Ashbridge was cor

his speech a gray bearded man,
wearing the bronze button Of the

and, extending his hand, said:
'Comrade, I am proud to know
you. What post do you belong to %

quick reply.

berly. "What is the number"

head. ''But, do you know, l never

swer.

A Pretty Old Custom.

What is the origin of the practice
Of burying suicides at crossroads?
Most people think it only one of the
barbarous customs of old time, but
a correspondent of a northern pa
per quotes from an old newspaper
of 1886 information which shows
that, although the practice was tine
tured with superstition, it was i'm
bued with the spirit of Christian
charity. The church denied it's
rites to suicides, "but our fathers
in the true spirit of Christian char
ity buried them in the crossroads
because they lay under the shadow
Of the cross, the symbol of redemp-
ton, which usually stood in that
place. And they we're laid there
beneath the shadow Of the cross in
hope that through that cross they,
too, like the faithful, might have
peace. "-London News.

The Testing of Father.

When faint the city whistles blow
And milk carts rumble TO and fro;
When the glad sunbeans newly fling
Abroad their promises Of spring,
Then father to the garden goes
And rakes and digs and plants and hoes.
When he has placed beneath the losR
About his glad suburban home
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine
And proudly says, ''Al this is NINE"
And joyous hears the breakfast bell
And feels his bosom proudly swell,
What sounds portentous on the breeze
Cause his slow curdling blood to freeze?
There cackling singly or together,
With feet steel shod and lungs Of leather,
The neighbors' soul destroying hens
Have flown their fragile makeshift pens!
The big white rooster proudly leads!
The air is full Of garden seeds!
The old hen lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, stumps. sod. gravel and the ROOFS
That pa has planted with such care
And left to grow in comfort there.
IT'S nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father in his place;
Instead of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says. with expression sage.

The withdrawal of Frank Eddy
gives Senator E. T. Young, of APP
pleton, long lead in the congress
sional contest. Of the three candi-
dates now seeking the nomi lation, he
is best known in the northern coun-
ties Of the district where Mr.. Eddy's
strength was the strongest, and there
is little doubt but that the large ma
jority of Mr.. Eddy's supporters will
from now on be found lined up with
the Young forces. In Traverse coun-
ty, for instance, which has all along
been conceded to Mr.. Eddy, senti
ment seems now to be overwhelmingly
in favor of Young, and the probable
tiles are that he will carry the county
veay near unanimusly at the prim-
aries. IF he gains in other counties
anything like he has here he certainly
has no reason to fear the verdict to
be rendered at the prim aries. There
is no man more deserving of honors
at the hands Of his party than 3. T.
Young. He has always been at the
front when the fight was the hottest,
and never was known to sulk. His
recognized ability and legislative
training qualify him in every respect
for the promotion he seeks, and the
district will be ably represented in
congress if he is nominated and

American Methods Are Far Ahead Of

a business apart and taking such a

claim that our standard is much
the higher. The scale is more lib

In an American hotel you get

from the "portier." And so on
