PEAS IN PLACE OF COTTON
Many Large Fields Being PIOughed
Up in DougheritY County.
Situation Is Serious.
From the Albany Herald .

From the ALBANY Herald
The Herald man talked with a prom
intnt business man who made trip
through the western part of the cOun-
ty-the Oaky Woods district-yester-
day, and from him learned that con-
ditions in this section are even worse
than are reported from the rest of the
county. This business man said:
Flowing Up Cotton.
i was dumfOunded by what | saw
On one place l visited an entire 200
acre field of cotton is being plOwed up
and will be planted in peas for hay.
The field was so completely in the grass
that the owner realized the hopeless
ness OF trying to save it, with labor
so scarce. | saw other places where
fields of cotton cannot possibly make
a crop, so completely are they over
run by grass. The county cOnvicts
have in few instances been secured
by farmers, but they could not be
spared for any considerable length of
time from the roads, and the help they
have been able to extend has been in
special cases only"
Our informant added that the only
crops he saw in West Dougherty that
were clean were on the places of two
negro farmers, Deal Jackson and Jas.
Wallace.
The Herald has been informed from
another source that a prominent
farmer in the southeastern part of the
county has abandoned field of oats
to his cattle in order that all hands
might work in the grass-ridden cotton
fields
From this it would appear that the
previously given that the
farmers are getting out of the grass
was premature.

NO PIN MONEY.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish Tells How the
Society Woman Lives.

Is it not passing strange that a
husband should not be called upon to
pay bis wife's bills and give her pin
money?
That is the question uppermOst in
the mind of Stuyvesant Fish, presi-
dent of the Illinois Central railroad,
who is being sued in New york for a
81, 500 bill incurred by Mrs. Fish for a
set of sable furs. New York's four
hundred are all agOg over the revela-
tiOns made during the hearing.
Mrs. Fish, the great society leader,
tells from her own lips just how the
twentieth century society woman lives.
In her life of ease and luxury she
never arises before ten O'Clock in the
morning; never has to trouble her
husband with requests for money or
the payment of bills, and attends to all
her personal matters without his aid
or assistance.
President Fish of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad also shows that the mod
ern man of business can get along
without being troubled by the hundred
and one little matters which are sup
posed to be imposed on a man by his
wife. He says that he never gives his
WHO any luO1Cys IIldU Sic mas IiCL wv Ii
estate and income and pays her own
bills. He also says that he supple
ments this income with presents"
given at Christmas and on her birth
day.
Many of the fallacies of those of
lesser riches than the Fishes were shat
tered during the hearing. Mrs. Fish
showed that it was possible for peo-
pie of great wealth to live together
without worrying much over the dis
position of their money. She said
that she did not run up great bills at
the New York stores and then have
the bills sent to her husband. No, in
deed; she made her own purchases
and paid her own accounts out of her
own money. Only where things were
bought for the home was Mr.. Fish
called on to go down in his purse.
Mr.. Fish, in telling about his af
fairs, said he was connected with a
dozen or more corporations and that
his net income was about Sl50,000 a
year. He Said that Mrs. Fish had
large property interests and good
income, and he never bothered to ask
her what she did with her money.
That was her business. Likewise,
when she purchased sables he did not
care how much she paid for them. but
it was up to her to foot the bills.

BRADFIELD'S
Female Regulator

for young girls on the threshold of woman
hood, has been invaluable. When they be-
come pale and languid, the eyes dull,
aching head, feet and hands cold, appetite
gone or abnormal, INSTRUCTED periods and
painful menses, and their systems general
" run down, they need building up, and
their blood needs cleansing.
Bradfeld's Female Regulator for women
is particularly valuable and useful owing
to its tonic properties to build up the sys-
tenn. and as regulator of the menstrual
flows. Painful, INSTRUCTED and suppressed
menstruation permanently relieved and all
diseases peculiar to her genital organs are
cured by it.
Regulator clears the complexion, bright
ems the eve, sharpens the appetite, removes
muddy ana blotChed conditions of the skin
and cures sick headache to a certainty by
removing the cause.

An artist in New York has Moor
for servant. The artist found him
dancing in a side show at the fair, and
1t was One-sided chat for the Moor
knows little English, though he knew
enough English or human nature to
say that he had been a servant Of the
Sultans. Before the Moor danced
again the artist had asked him to be
his servant.
The Moor could not say modestly,
"What, in this attire?" for his scarlet
robes and turban were gorgeous; but
he did 'murmur something about being
dressed differently from American
servants The artist wanted him as he
was, and said so.
So as he is, in scarlet grandeur, ne
waits on the artists studio apart
ments. The guests hold their breath
a little when the enormous man IN
red enters the room to do the tea
chores. The artist, however, breathes
evenly.
The Moor has a trick of hospitality
toward his employers guests of which,
perhaps, it would be we'll for the
artist to break him. as it proves nerve
SCATTERING to the initiated. He solemn
ly takes it upon himself to greet each
guest, as he or she arrives, with prof
fered hand and the plaintive murmur,
''My friend"
Perhaps the artist thinks it is better
not to correct the Moor. He is very
big man, and the artist treats him po-
Itely.

OLD TOM, THE GOLFER.
One Of the Best Known Of Devotees Of
---E- the Ancient Game. -.

OHc OF the Best known OF Oevotees OF
-<<] the Ancient Game.
One of the best golfers that ever laid
out course or drove ball was old
Tom Morris. They called him "old"
to distinguish him from his son, who
was the most brilliant player of his
time, and to- whose memory a fine
monument was erected over his grave
in st. Andrews. Once, when old Tom
was greenkeeper at Prestwick, in Ayr
shire, he took part in foursome, his
partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray.
Next day the postman handed Tom a
letter simply addressed to ''The Mis-
ser of Short Puts, Prestwick.'' This
shows how we'll known Tom was, and
also what, had been wrong with
his play in the match. When
the question of Sunday play was
being discussed, Tom was asked
for his opinion. "Well," he
said, "if man doesna need a rest, I
ken the green does" He retired from
the post of greenkeeper to the Royal
and Ancient Club of St. Andrews at
the age of 50 years, but in spite of his
great age,> played a fine game to the
very last.

According to DR.. Fischer of Berlin,
The most effective position of sleep for
obtaining intellectual rest is to keep
the head low and the feet slightly ele-
waited. Failing this, the body should,
at any rate, be horizontal, so as to irri'
gate the brain well. The habit OF sleep
ing with head low and feet high is,
according to the doctor, remedy for

phore, in fact, consisting of an up
right post, a transverse bar on the
top and two arms working on pivots
at the ends OF this bar. BY means
of a code and the placing of "a series
of these posts so that each could be
seen from the NEXT, messages were
carried over fifty leagues in quar-:

assembly adopted the system; but in
situations that Chappe had stolen it
from others preyed upon his mind and
drove him to suicide.
