.FULTON'S SCHOOL ELECTION,

Heavy Rains Kept Voters Away and
Defeated Law-SaIOoR Men Much
Puzzled as to Whether or Not to
Close.
Atlanta, Feb 27.-There was an cleo
ton held in Fulton county to-day in
all districts except Atlanta, East Point
and Hapeville, to determine whether
the public school term should be in
creased from five to nine months in
those districts. AS it rained inces-
sanity few votes were cast, and the
proposition was lost. 1t required two
thirds of the registered vote to carry
the proposition, and hardly one-third
of the vote was cast.
The barTooms in the city were in
doubt whether 10 close up or not. Sew
eral of them dosed and others re-
manned open. Proprietors of bars
found it difficult to get any expression
of opinion and finally in the afternoon
they all shook off their timidity and
kept open doors. 1t is suggested there
may be an investigation by the grand
jury

At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William j.
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DR.. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
HE would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in A
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DIR. w. II. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access. and the psychic influences Of
change Of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe. need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it."

Ridgeland, S. c., Feb. 27.-Sheriff s
A. Brewton of Tattnall county, Geor-

There is reward of $T5 offered for
Robert Corbett who is wanted for

license and assault with intent to kill.
Robert Gambell had served two or
three years in the penitentiary for
shooting a white man named Jesse
Giles.
About the middle of October last,
Robert Gambell attempted an assault
upon the person of one or more young
ladies in a respectable family near
Reidsville, Ga, and failed. The negro
ran off and left his shoes. He was rec
ognized as Gambell who was engaged
working about the premises for a few
weeks during court at Reidsville. The
Jail at Reidsville is said to be a fine
Jail, and it is stated that there is every
evidence that some one outside gave
assistance to the prisoners. They used
a three-cornered file to effect the es-
cape, and as one of the negroes i'm
prisoned, Gosh Corbett), had stated
that white people were going to get
into the trouble with him II they did
not help him, as they had furnished
him the wisky to sell. Gambell gave
the whereabouts or two of the escaped
Jail birds as near Ridgeiand, but
they must have learned of GambelIs
capture and fled the country. Parties
went for them last night but could not
locate them.

A Pioneer Departs.

The Sioux Falls Press Of last Sunday
contains the following special from
Harrisburg:
Mr.. G. B. Brown one of the earliest
settlers Of South Dakota recently sold
his home near this place and purchased
q tract Of /, 900 acres at Kindly, MINI.
Mr.. Brown came to Dakota in 1869 and
since that time has resided in Lincoln
county, making many friends by his
fearless and upright character.
Before he and his family left for their
new home, go of their friends and
neiehbors rendered them q farewell
party and most enjoyable time was
reported. After an evening spent in
recounting the pioneer times and
"reminiscences. the party bade farewell
10 Mr.. and Mrs Brown, and presented
them with gold watch and silver tea
Get as q token of respect In which they
are held in the community.
The LEADER is sorry to see Mr..
Brown leave good old Lincoln, because
Lincoln county atno better men than
Cash Brown. May good fortune and
good health abide with him and his in
his new home.

New use for Refined Paranins Wax.

A new and important use for Re-
fined Parafflne Wax seems to have been
discovered by prominent resident OF
Ohio, living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm. one
being q maple and the other an apple.
In each case large limb was broken
down from the trunk, but still attached
to it. The limbs were propped up and
fastened securely with straps. very
much rs . broken leg might be fastened
with splints, and then melted refined
wax poured into and over all the
cracks. The surgical operation" was
entirely successful. The Parafine pre-
vented the escape of the sap, kept out
the rain and moisture which would
have rotted the trees. prevented the de-
predations Of insects. and the limbs
seem thus far to be perfectly re-attach'
ed to the trees.

Damaged Grain as stock Food.

One Of the msxims We have heard
from our childhood IL: There is no great

quaatity and tho quality Of all small
grains this year over . very large terri.
tory Of which Des Moines. Iowa, IL pro.

in quantity because Of wsshouts and
because the land In many fields both Of
wheat and oats was % vet ct the time
Of harvest that It would not bear reap
or or even mower. There has been .
further great los both in quantity and
quality In the shock and even in the
stack. There is great deal Of sprouted
end . great deal moro bleachsd grain.
much Of the latter, IN fact, that even
the bright grain, mixed q It 10 with the
damaged, d no grade or rejected. This
y Z very serious loss, on many farms
equal to one half the value Of The small
grain, whether winter OF spring.
What profit 10 III We hear some one
ray. That depends upon the man him
self There is On educational profit that
should teach farmers to drain their wet
places 20 that lhecrop can be harvested
In any year, This can bs done. There
10 another educational profit in teaching
shem how 70 build . stack that will
she'd water, and stack . large portion Of
their grain instead Of leaving 1t In the
shock q they did this year. The main
profit, however. will be in giving them
an opportunity to learn the value Of the
small grains % food for live stock.

Farm burrows.

The Homestead. The man who has
. small flock Of sheep wonders why
the other fellow does not keep few
sheep and the man who has none al
was pities the fellow who has them
whom he passes BY his farm. This il
strange. No ono on earth can give .
good reason why : farm should no.
have few sheep on it. It 10 strange
that some people will act 90 strangely.
g. As the years 60 by the greater il
the demand for Intelligent labor on the
farm. The man who knows just
enough to hitch and unhitch team
and to labor ten to fifteen hours daily,
and no more, il not the man for this
day and age on the, farm. Some men
never get above the first round Of the
ladder. They stick close to the ground
They are not ground hogs, neither do
they display as much intelligence
sometimes. What ID needed 10 think.
ing % we'll - working. Work 10 the
ksy note. but knowing how and when
to work IL the mainspring Of modern
agriculture. Some men plant . late
variety Of corn and because it 10 . late
variety they feel that it should b
planted late and they arc disappointed.
The late farmer should plant early
corn, for it will be late enough before
he will get ready to plant. Some farm
ers are too late ct everything to be
success. Tho old saying 1T Is better
late than never will not always work.
Try being late At the depot once when
1t is desirable to take . train and see
how it 10 to b9 . few minutes late.
Being on time 10 one thing that ought
to be one of the first thoughts Of
modern farmers. - trip Of twenty
or more miles across the country shows
many fields of small grain with shocks
in them. All kinds of shocks
may be observed in fields. In some
fields the shocks are standing up nicely
and are damaged but very little, if any,
BY the wet weather. In other fields
the shocks look like heaps of manure
and are but little more.
