QUITMAN FOR CLEVELAND.
Canvass Shows He Has n Majority.
Railroad Extension.

Quitman, Ga, May 24.-The Free
Press has taken up the matter of the
possible candidacy of Cleveland and
has made a canvass of forty-six of the
voters of Quitman with the result that
thirty-seven declare themselves for
Cleveland. This has always been a
Cleveland stronghold, but the result of
the canvass is nevertheless surprising
in the strength he develops here.
The West Coast Railway, which is
closely related to the South Georgia, is
pushing construction from GreenviIle to
Perry, Fla, a distance of twenty six
miles Some two or three miles of track
have been laid and the first ten miles,
which is already graded, will go down
in few weeks, after which a large
force will be put on and the work hur-
ried through so that trains may be put
on before the end of the year.

After the ducks and geese are

Cat Tail MiIIet-Pearl Millet-Pen-
CiIInrin.
These are the three most recent
names for the same plant well known
in the South for nearly hundred
years proba bly, What its next name
will be when some future enterprising
seedman sees fit to offer it 10 farmers
as the latest and most wonderful for
age plant in the world" might be
proper thing for some enterprising
agricultural journal to offer premium
for For forty years we have known
the old Pennisctum Spicatum as cat
tail millet, though it seems to have
had a dozen other names previously.
Several years ago a Western seed
house re-introduced the plant to notice
under the flaming advertisement as
"Pencillaria," selling the seeds at 81
and more per pound, and claiming it
would yield anywhere from twenty-five
to seventy-five tons of good forage per
acre Up to that time its newest and
most popular name was Pearl Millet,"
thus renamed by the reputable house
of Peter Henderson, no doubt under
a misrepresentation That was some
twenty-five years ago. Up to that
time it was known to Southern farm
ers only as cat tail millet," though
it had borne other names when first
introduced into this country.
1t is a good plant to practice a pc
riodical imposition with.
1t cannot be regarded as plant of
real value when we compare 1t with
a number of other forage plants that
we can make use of either for pasture
or meadow or soiling. 1t is coarse
plant. of very little succulence when it
gets anywhere near maturity. When
quite young, and early in the season
stock will eat ii, but we believe al
ways under protest if they could give
expression to their opinion of its quail
ity.
In respect to quality teosinte, fodder
corn and sorghum either one no doubt
would be cake to any decent cattle
compared to cat tail millet, which they
might very properly regard as corn
bread with the bran in it. Farmers
are about as gullible as preachers or
lawyers or doctors, every whit as
much no doubt, and then there are so
many of them, you know. No wonder
some sharp scotsman out of the West
laws traps for them. And so we would
caution our young farmers to keep
their eyes open and not be beguiled
along in 1913 by some flaming adVer-
tisement Offering them perhaps The

age from an acre of sandy land. SEEDS

FOR SWINDLING.

D. Harris and ]. S. Norris, two
young men of pleasant address, who
had been in Columbus for the past
six weeks, were arrested Friday on
warrants sworn out by the Central
Federation of Labor. charging them
with cheating and swindling. They
had been working an advertising
scheme among the merchants of Co.
lumbus which was indorsed by the
federation. They were to publish an
official labor manual, and for this
they obtained many advertisements
They collected the money for the ads
from some of the merchants, but it
is alleged failed to turn over the books
in return, as per their contract, in
some cases. They are now in Jail
awaiting an investigation.

JAIL FOR GAMBLERS.

ITO the changing with the gam
blers" was the slogan of message sub
mitted to the Tampa Council by Mayor
Mckay Friday. The Mayor stated
that he had received frequent COM
plants as to the existence of gambling
in the city, particularly in the forms
known as policy and bolita. He had
expended considerable money and time
in bringing such offenders to justice,
but the penalty fixed by the city char
ter was so trivial that the gamblers
paid their fines and continued their
operations. He urged the Council to
adopt an ordinance making the mini
mum penalty for gambling a fine of
5000 and sixty days Imprisonment.

year grow blossoms and perfect their
seed without attracting attention. Then
during the third year they become OBJ
noXiously aggressive, and the burden
ed farmer finds himself confronted with
another foe that taxes his strength and
ingenuity to subdue. 1t is seldom, If
ever, that an introduced plant is abso-
lutely exterminated from any locality
in which it has gained a foothold.
AS time goes on, however, those most
affected learn to cope with it. 1t is ac-
knowledged as one of the inevitable
evils, and ceases to attract attention.
The seeds of the weeds of one sec
ton of the country are not only diff
fused in packages of field and garden
seeds from the East to the West, and
vice versa. but are conveyed on the
soil adhering to the roots of trees and
shrubs They are also brought by birds
and in the hairs of cattle and goats
and the wool of sheep. To the latter
especially great numbers of burlike
seeds and fruits adhere, without at
tracing the notice of either buyer or
seller. 1t is said that there is no bet
ter place to look for all sorts of alien
plants than in the grounds around
wool factory, and from such spots they
are gradually disseminated over a wide
area.
The tracks of through-line railroads
receive many seeds from far distant
sections, and these are blown or SHOW
eled to one side, where they take root
and multiply. Seeds are also often
brought in the gravel with which the
tracks are ballasted, in the clay for
making brick and with crude minerals
that are transported from one locality
to another. To some extent this is
true even of the comparatively short
trolley lines. After the roads have
been built a couple of years the botan-
ist finds the sides of the track a most
interesting field for discovery, not only
in the way of herbaceous plants, but
in the number of small trees and
shrubs that spring up where none were
ever grown before.
A sharp watch should here be kept
for plants that are especially perni-
cious. NJ. E. M.
