gia. have both sides of the question.
Mr.. Editor, it is plain to the people of
this state that Mr.. Hill and his candidate
cannot meet the issue of this campaign,
and hence Mr.. Terrell at long distance
has to explain and apologize why he can
not meet Mr.. Guerry. and Mr.. Hill when
he undertakes to come to his rescue by
the Joint debate through the mails can
only give one side of it to the public. We
are willing to let both sides of the issues
involved in this campaign be discussed in
common fairness before the people and
leave the results to their honesty. fnteg-
rity, patriotism and conscience. II Mr..
Hill. his candidate. Mr.. Terrell. and their
political machine. cannot do likewise. let
them. stop talking and writing about
SIDNEY c. TAPP.
Chairman.
p. S-Since writing the foregoing 1
have read an article by fellow by the
name of Massengale from Norwood, (who
1 am Informed is a whisky drummer). in
which he seeks to measure the standard
of my conscience for publishing the Dunn
letter. I state for the benefit of the gem
tleman that / do not need his guardian
ship to direct me as to what is right and
what is wrong, and what my duty was
as to the Dunn letter. Had the Dunn let
ter conveyed a legitimate message no man
would have held it more sacred than /,
and would have made it his purpose to
have seen to it that IL reached the Hon.
Warner Hill in confidence. But I consid-
cred an attempt at political corruption
should be exposed to the people OF
Georgia, and every fair-minded and hon
est man will agree with me in this con-
clusion.
It is the 'judicious" work to change
the status of AFFAIRS" and will come TO
the Terrell headquarters cat once" that Is
bothering these fellows, since it has been
exposed to the public and not what was
my conscientious duty. 5. z. 1.

WILL PRATHER KILLED
NEAR ATHENS MONDAY

ATHENS, Ca, May ia white man
named Prather, a painter, was struck and
instantly killed about Z o'clock, two miles
west of here, this morning by Seaboard
train. Prather had a Job some distance
up the road, and was walking along the
track accompanied by his two sons. The
party started across a trestle near Hun
nicutt's farm, when the train came upon
them. BY running the two boys managed
to reach a place of safety, but the father
was struck by the engine before he could
get off the trestle.
Prather was about IS years of age, and
was reckoned a good workman and a
steady man. Authorities in Athens were
Immediately notified of the accident.
Prather was fearfuIly mangled. only his
head and part of one arm being left in
tact. He viii be buried at the Prospect
church, in Jackson county, in the morn
ing. He was survived by a wife and FIVE
children.

have been brought to a stand" as the
carelessness Of the ordinary field hand
often results I'm damage TO the shank OF
the plant. and II the field can be kept
clean OF grass with the pillow the hoe
should be kept out. Hoeing is expensive
anyway as compared with the pillow, and
every item OF field expense should be re-
duced to its minimum in order TO insure
as large an item OF net profit on the crop
as possible at the end OF the year. Once
every two weeks during the cultivating
season the plows ought TO be run through
the crop and get back to starting point.
In dry weather Il Is as essential TO push
the plows as during seasons OF wet wealth
er. After heavy rains II is oftentimes nee
essary to put one wide furrow on one side
OF a row and skip to the next, rushing
over the crop rapidly and then turning
back 10 complete the work. This partial
work in half breaking the cemented top
crust between rows is quite beneficial and
IS OF more decided advantage TO the crop
as a whole than the more slow process
OF blowing "Out and OUT from the start.
Each farmer must be guided in this work
largely by circumstances and the climatic
conditions surrounding him during the
different stages Of his crops growth. The
best resolution for every man TO adopt
during the next sixty days is TO rush the
plows as rapidly as possible without ces-
sation except when the land is too wet
TO pillow. and TO use shallow plows for cul-.
tivation. either short scooters and scrapes
or in sandy lands. wide sweeps. The pros
pect at this time is quite promising for
both cotton and corn. good stands have
been obtained and plants are making
good progress as to growth. The outlook
Is quite favorable and with rapid cultiva-
ton from now on. backed by good sea-
sons, we may look forward with a con-
siderable degree of confidence to a pros
porous. successful year in southern agri-
culture.

TEACHERS WILL GET ONLY
HALF PAY THIS MONTH

Warrants are being drawn up this week
for $4,000 which will be paid TO the
Georgia teachers. This amount will only
cover only half Of the amount due them.
but under the determination reached by
Governor Gambler, the teachers viii have
to wait until June 18th before they can
get more money, as none will be borrowed
by the state until that time
The teachers have been anxious for an
other payment for some time, and they
will no doubt be glad when they receive
their hard-earned money.

out three or four acres in strawberries.
Want them to ship and for home market
AS we are not posted on this plant, would
like to get the names OF the earliest and
best and also a large variety. VIII you
please give us the names of these2
Answer-The Lady Thompson Is one Of
the best early varieties for shipping, and
the Haverland is a good late shipper. The
Hoffman also comes early. and the Blu
bach No. natures late. The Lady
Thompson is one of the best all-round va
rieties for both local and foreign markets.
The Hoffman is probably the best first
early that you could plant. II is a large.
fine looking berry and is a good shipper.
I would advise OF three varieties, early,
medium and late. as follows: Hoffman,
Lady Thompson and Barbach No. B.
II. w. Met, Climax. Ga.-When Is the
best time to plant Unknown cow peas to
make hay? How many to put in hill? How
far apart, and best fertilizer to apply?
Cotton on ordinary pine land, rows three
and a half feet apart, would you leave
two or one stalk. About 200 pounds high
grade guano to the acre.
Answer-Plant the Unknown cow pea
early in June in rows three feet wide and
two feet apart in the drill, six to eight
seed TO the hill are sufficient to insure a
good stand. II land is ordinarily fertile,
mix together 100 pounds phosphOric acid
and 80 pounds kainit per acre, or buy
good grade potash acid. If the land is not
fertile use complete fertilizer. Cotton will
do best thinned down to one stalk on the
character Of land described and the
amount of fertilizer as stated used ~
acre. In drilling COW peas you will make
a considerable amount of peas, but for
forage or hay he best plan is to broad
cast the Unknown variety at the rate of
one bushel to the acre.
