was a year when good judgment dictated

TURPENTlNE OPERATORS
HAVE COMPLETED WORK

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 12.-The
Turpentine Operators association, which
has been in session here the past two
days, adjourned last night. The executive
committee of the association held an i'm
portant meeting this morning and after
disposing of a quantity of routine work,
set October eth as the date for the next
meeting of the committee. At that meet
ing arrangements viii be made for the
next annual meeting and the date of the
annual meeting announced.
The executive committee adopted the
Industrial Record published here by Mr.
]. A. Holoman. formerly of Atlanta, as

mittee. The Record is also the official
organ of the Operators association.

Messrs. H. A. McEachern and j. A. Gran
ford were appointed on committee to
draft resolutions on the death of Col
S. L. Varnedoe, one of the leading mem
hers of the association, who died a few
months ago. The legislative committee

RUSSELL'S NAME IS
ON THE TICKET
TWICE
HE WILL BE VOTED FOR BOTH
SUPERIOR AND SUPREME
COURT JUDGE UNLESS
CHANGE is MADE.

Within the last few days Secretary of
State Cook has received letters from
number of the chairmen of the county ex-
ecutive committees Of the state in. which
they ask to be furnished with an official
form of the ballot to be voted in the reg
ular election October l. When the con-
solidated blanks upon which the returns
are to be made were printed, no provision
was made for the vote to be cast for the
Office of associate justice of the supreme
court to succeed Justice Lewis. due to the
fact that he had not at that time resigned.
Since then Justice Lewis has resigned,
and three candidates are now in the race
to succeed him, these being Judge John 5.
Gambler. Judge r. d. Russell and Hon.
w. r. Hammond. Friday Secretary of
State Cook furnished an official copy of
the ballot to be voted at the election Oc-
tober ! and Judge r. B. Russell's name
appears twice on the ballot. This is due
to the fact that Judge Russell is the nom
inee for the superior court judgeship of
his circuit, and that within the last few
days he has announced his candidacy as
a successor to Justice Lewis.
The absence Of the name Of any cam
didate that may offer for any Office be-
fore the day of the election does not pre-
vent his name from being placed upon the
form and the votes cast for him consol-
idated and recorded in the usual way.
Blank spaces are left in the form for the
insertion of the names of candidates for
the legislature or for county offices.

ANOTHER MAN WITH
BULLET IN BRAIN

To the Editor of The Journal:
noticed in your issue Of last Sunday. in
niece on Joe Goddard's fight with death,
you stated that Goddard is the only living
being whose brain harbors bullet.
wish to deny this. as I was shot in the
Catskill mountains on the 18th of July,
1892 The bullet struck me in my right
eyebrows and split, one half entering in
a direct line for five inches, the second
half taking a downward course and stop
ping under the first half. The two pieces
of bullet are FIVE il.ches from the place
of entrance and two or tn-ee inches below
my skull.
They are resting on the nerve which
controls my left foot, consequently have
little use for that article: but otherwise
I'm as sound as can be in every respect
and haven't had any i'll effects from the
bullet or been i'll 2 day since the Fourth
of July 1892, when DR.. Hemel, of New
York, performed an operation on my
brain and cured me.
I simply write this to let you know that
you are mistaken in thinking that Mr..
Goddard is the only living being with =
bullet in his brain. Respectfully Yours.

ATLANTA, Ga. Sep

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 9, 1907.
To the Editor of The Journal:
The question has been discussed:
How can the merchants of Atlanta in
crease their forign trader"
A plan has been adopted as announced
in your several issues. The special car
feature-a good plan indeed-it will adj
vertise Atlanta and Atlanta's enterprising
merchants. Other plans are also feasible.
which IL put in operation would tend TO
put Atlanta, its merchants an1 5nanufac-
turers, before the leading buzz acs houses
and citizens of several southern states.
One plan I have in mind, which there
can be no question or argument, and can
not be doubted, by any enterprising mer-
camille establishment If given considera-
ton. Advertise abroad in a judicious
manner.
The Georgia state fair will soon be held
at Valdosta. The Florida state fair viii
soon convene at Lake City. Thousands
of people from far and near will visit the
respective cities of the sister states. The
advantages of many cities and mer-
chants will be discussed and pro-
claimed in the local papers and special
fair editions OF these two cities, where the
eyes of thousands Of people will be To-
cused, at that time when at no other pc
Rod Atlanta and Atlanta merchants
should be represented as other towns are
being represented. as it is an undisputed
fact Atlanta is the distributing point for
the south. The opportunity is now here.
Printers ink is success. Success is enter
prise. and Atlanta's watchword is enter
prise.

SAYS REPORTERS PLANT
TOO MANY PEACH TREES
CORNELIA. Ca. Sept. II, L

CORNELIA. Ga, Sept. II, 1902.
TO the Editor of The Journal:
, Cannot something be done to stop the
enthusiastic reporter from planting so
many peaches? He plants them in his
brain, and soon they run riot until the
public gets the idea that towns and cities
will be crowded of the map to make room
for the peaeh-grower.
Northern Papers copy these reports and
note that soon peaches viii be down to
a reasonable price" These reports come
out monthly, or as often as some need
space. Last year came the report that
three to six millions of trees were plant
ed. This year-it was last spring-four
millions were planted, and now the latest
report is that eight millions are planted.
Now, all these fairy tales are injuring
Georgia. 1t would be better if peach was
never mentioned by the papers. In the
first place, during the last two years my
business demanded that 1 carefully look
over the peach business Of the state. L
from that experience believe there are not
three million trees. all told, in good bear
ing condition-commercia orchards, ]
mean. Nor viii there be over one million
planted this fall and winter. Possibly,
nearly two million young trees growing,
or a total of five millions now planted,
and a possibility of another million in
1929 A million trees is a good many.
Secondly we must remember that one
fourth to one-half of all trees planted.
through various causes, never reach the
successful fruit-bearing stage. The ankle
ty get trees in engenders a certain amount
of carelessness. Thus, and 1t will probably
ever be so. Please help check this cry.

J. NJ. H, Ollim, Ga:
Please give me.a few dots as how best
TO manage syrup for sale. / am thinking
OF bOttling it, How do you think IL will
pay? Give me your idea of how best to
prepare it for market. I have been study
ing how best to secure the highest price
for IL. Ny intention is to advertise my
syrup later. Where is the best syrup mar
ket. I have ten acres of fine cane this
year. Answer through The Journal.
Answer-This inquiry bearing date Of
August 18th was delayed in reaching me
by it's being addressed to Atlanta. My
proper address will always be found at the
head OF my department in this paper.
As you have a fine field of cane you can
well afford to exercise extra care in the
preparation of your syrup for market. Use
a good evaporator and take extra precau-
tons to so regulate the heat in cooking
as to give the syrup light and inviting
appearance. If the heat is not properly
regulated the syrup viii be scorched and
the liquid have a dark color. Boil your
syrup TO a density of 3 degrees which can
be easily indicated by a hydrometer, an
instrument which you can purchase for
% cents. Place the instrument in the syrup
during cooking process and when proper
density is recorded, draw the syrup OFF
at once You might use either large quart
glass bottles or one gallon jugs. Rinse the
bottles out with hot water, then I'LL them
to their capacity with the hot syrup and
seal up tightly after corking with good
sealing wax. One-half gallon bottles Will
do better than quarts. If you will go to
see the first class family grocery stores
I'm our large cities and take samples Of
your syrup you can sell IL TO best advan-
tage. There is always a good demand for
first class Georgia cane syrup.

CHAPLAIN DISAPPEARS;
NO TRACE OF HIM FOUND

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 12.-The disap-
pearance of the chaplain of the Seventh
cavalry. Rev. Moose, has caused a great
deal Of excitement in the camp. He left
some days ago without telling any one his
destination. and has not been seen since.
He was not present last Sunday when the
president was at the camp and an intiner-
ant preacher who has been holding ser
vices at the camp conducted the religious
services. A letter addressed to the chap
lain has been opened and it was found
to be from his wife. who is distracted over
his failure to write to her. 1t seems that
he has been accustomed to writing every
day and when several days passed with
no word, she became alarmed. Squads OF
cavalry have been searching the country
for him, but so far no trace has been
found. There is fear expressed that he
NAV have been foully dealt with.
