BOOTH GIVES BOND.
Some Think the Amount Too Small.
Dublin News.


Dublin. Ga, Sept 27--Yesterday Mar
vim Booth, the young man who was
arrested Thursday charged with forg-
cry, was taken before Justice 7. d.
Smith. Booth, through his attorneys,
Griner & Adams, waived examination
and demanded an indictment. Justice
Smith fixed his bond at $3.50 which he
Immediately gave, his father, Rev. r.
M. Booth, signing the bond.
The officers of the First National
Bank are not satisfied with the size
of the bond. There has been consid-
cradle comment among the people
about the smallness of it.
r.. w. Ketchum supreme scribe of
the Laboring Friends Society negro
organization, has skipped with all Of
the funds in his hands, which amount
to about $lO2. This society has head
quarters in Dublin, with subordinate
lodges in other sections of the state.
II was Ketchum's duty to collect the
death assessments and pay over to the
family of a deceased member the
amount due it. A few weeks ago an
other man was elected supreme scribe
and demanded the money and books
from Ketchum. The books were forth
coming, but Ketchum has decamped
carrying with him the money, if he
had not spent it previously.
The negroes are very much worked
up over the matter and are making
an effort to find Ketchum. Ketchum
was formerly a Baptist preacher, but
recently he left the Baptist Church
and joined the Colored Methodist Epis
copal Church. 1t is supposed that be
lost the money in the bakery bust
ness which he conducted in Dublin.
Yesterday afternoon the right arm of
Mr.. Tindel Hall was amputated just
above the wrist by Drs. Wellington
and Brigham. Halls hand was badly
cut in the gin of Shewmake Brothers
a t Shewmake, five miles from Dublin,
and he was brought to Dublin for surg
iCal attention.
Mr.. David S. Blackshear, one of the
most prominent farmers in Laurens
county, but who for many years was
connected with the Wrightsville and
Tennille Railroad, has been named as
cashier of the Citizens Bank, which
will open for business just as soon as
a building can be erected for its use.
There are 440 white children on the
rolls of the Dublin public schools, the
largest enrolment during the fall term
in the history of the city. At the ne
gro school there are fifty-siX pupils on
the rolls.
Next Wednesday there will be
stock law election in three districts
in Laurens county The farmers are
badly divided over the question and the
outcome is in doubt. In one or two
districts considerable feeling has de-
veloped among some of the farmers.

The Pecan Nut.

Prof. Van Deman in Rural World
says: Although the pecan naturally
grows as far north as Central Iowa
and has been successfully planted in
New England, it is does not bear well
there nor are the seasons long enough
to allow the nuts to fill properly. The
. large, thin-shelled kinds are only suit
able to the cotton growing section of
the country. They may do as far north
as the line of Southern Missouri and
Virginia, but the Gulf states afford
far better climatic conditions for them.
They require a long growing season
to mature them, and the trees are
not hardy everywhere.
The land for pecans must be the
richest to be found. and their roots
should be able to go to living water
if the trees are to do their best. Up
lands are far less suitable than creek
and river bottoms They should be
planted not nearer than twenty-five or
thirty feet. and l think fifty to sixty is
better, and then they will need to be
cut out to twice that distance after
about twenty years.
Pecan trees some times begin to bear
at six years old from seed. but many
not until they are twenty. Budded or
grated trees of the best kinds usually
begin at five or six years from plant
ing, which is generally done when they
are not over three years old from seed.
At first they bear but few nuts, but
they gradually increase until at ten
years, if in good soil, they yield prof
table crops. From that time on they
will continue to increase for at least
fifty years. There is no reason to
think them past usefulness at a century
old, for there are those of that age yet
in their vigor. One who will plant the
right kind of pecan trees in good land
and in a suitable climate and then
cultivate them as if they were apple
trees, for about ten years, or until they
are large, thrifty trees and able to
shade the ground well, they will beat
an insurance policy ten times over
When they are once we'll established
in rich soil there is no telling how long
they will live and flourish. The crops
of cotton, corn and other things will
pay while the trees are growing. There
need be no lost time in a pecan or
chard If properly managed
The market for the nuts is practi-
cally unlimited. Our own country will
always want a great quantity. and the
european markets are open to us. for
the pecan is not grown there nor any
where else in the world than in North
America. The quality of the nut is so
good that it will always be in demand
Let those who have rich land, even If
II is subject to overflow, plant pecan
trees. If once well started they will
last more than lifetime.

Wireless Telegraphy
Is the Result of Prolonged study
and Deep Research.

Marconi-the wireless wizard-did not
stumble accidently upon the principles
of his marvellous invention.
1t was only by deep and prolonged
study of the cause of certain known
phenomena in nature that he was able
to produce the startling effect.
Many people, in speaking of Hair Re
storers, have a way of punching them
altogether without discrimination.
Herpicide is as different from other
so-called hair restorers" and "reme-

CATERPILLARS' RAVAGES
Means no Top Crop of Cotton in the
Albany Section.

AlDany SectlOn.
Albany. Ga, Sept. 27.-About 1000
bales of cotton We're received by wagon
in this market yesterday and about
half as many by rail. The past week
has brought ideal conditions to the
cotton fields, and the staple has opened
rapidly. Few farmers are holding for
a rise.
The Morning News correspondent
has just made a round through the
cotton fields near the city. In many
places the caterpillars have stripped
every vestige of foliage from the cot
ton plants, and the bolls in various
stages of maturity are fully exposed
to the sun. The smaller hollis will
never amount to anything, as the cater
pillars have destroyed the husk at the
stem end of the bolls, and with this
gone maturity is impossible. The re-
ports of greatly reduced yield in this
section have certainly not been exag-
gerated. There will be absolutely moth
ing in the way of school crop.
