Georgias cotton acreage has been
reduced 13 per cent as compared with
last year, while there has been a re-
duction of little more than IA per
cent in the amount of fertilizers used
under cotton, according to a report of
the state department of agriculture
just made public.
This estimate is based on reports
received from between 500 and 1000
correspondents in all parts of the
state, as many as six or eight reports
each having been received from the
more important agricultural counties.
Commissioner O. B. Stevens has
had all of these reports carefully anal
wed and tabulated, and his report is
an accurate summary of them. While
the showing as to cotton IS, perhaps,
not as good as many had hoped Tor
it is evident that the farmers have, as
rule, been in earnest in their deter
mination to cut down the acreage.
The figures in this report show,
among other interesting facts, that the
CODQlLlOn anu pIOSpcSG VI VliC CoOUSAA
crop this year is even better than at
this time last year, being 1O2 per cent.
The worst reports are from south
Georgia where there is much grass in
the fields and a scarcity of labor.
While there was decrease OF IA
per cent in the amount of fertilizers
used under cotton there has been an
increase of Is per cent in the fertiliZ-
ers used for other crops, which accOrds
with the reports that the sales of fer
tilizers in Georgia this year have been
about the same as in 1904.
The acreage in corn shows an in
crease of 6 per cent, and there has
been some Slight increase in other
crops.
The report indicates that the fruit
crop will be far below that of last
year, the percentage of full crop in
dictated this year being about 53 per
cent.

of Agriculture B. Stevens and President Jordan
Of Cotton Association Make Reports Acreage

The Southern Cotton Association
has issued it's cotton acreage report
The report, which was given out from
New Orleans, is as follows:
THE estimated acreage for 1904, as
indicated by the report of the United
States government, amounted to 81,
100000 acres.
1.-THE decrease in the acreage for
1905, which was ascertained from in
dividual reports from II, 754 farmers,
merchants, bankers and others
throughout the cotton belt, fixes the
acreage this year at 25,980,651 acres,
a decrease of 18.43 per cent, and 1905
per cent in fertilizers.
''The report on the decrease in cot
ton acreage and the use of commercial
fertilizers under cotton for 1909 was
compiled from reliable statistics gath
cred from the various state and terri
tOrial presidents of the association
and tabulated at New Orleans May 81,
1905, by the president and secretary
of the Southern Cotton Association
and Col. H. G.. Hester of New Orleans,
with the assistance and cooperation
of the presidents of the state and terri
tOrial divisions.
'The condition of the crop as re-
ported for Louisiana, Texas, Arkan-
sas, the territories and portions OF
Mississippi are unprecedentedly bad,
much of the acreage reported in those
states being yet implanted and large
tracts either under water or badly
washed by heavy rains.
I'm the eastern portion of the cotton
belt the fields generally are grassy,
the cotton still uhchopped and labor
very scarce throughout the entire
belt.

PIGEON STOPPED TOWN CLOCK
Went to ROost on Minute Hand and
Caused Many People to Be Late.


A pigeon roosting on the minute
hand of the town clock in the county
court house tower stopped the clock at
precisely 6:20 o'clock and caused
many peopl in Logansport, Ind, to be
an hour late.
Not until Judge John S. Larry APP
peared was the cause of the trouble
discovered.
''There' a pigeon on the minute
hand" exclaimed the judge, whose
eagle-like eye had discerned the out
lines of the bird, whichwas comfortably
perched upon the end of the hand near
est the pivot, and instantly score of
voices cOrroborated his observation.
Henry O. Brown, the court house
ianitor, was prevailed upon to climb
the stairway inside the tower and
brighten the bird away. Before ascend
ing he turned on the switch connecting
the electric light in the tower, and al
though the dial was suddenly illumi-
mated the pigeon was not the least
disturbed and refused to move. Brown
finally was obliged TO climb the dizzy
height and 'shOo' the bird away. 1t
was 7:15 o'clock when the mechanism
of the clock was again in motion.

A GEORGIA DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
Husband and Wife QuarreIed Six
Thousand Times in Fourteen Years.

Husband and Wife Quarreled Six
Thousand Times in Fourteen Years.
In the vicinity of Augusta lives a
farmer, by name John Madgett, who
has appealed to the courts of Georgia
to release him from the calling bonds
of matrimony on the ground of in
compatibility of temper. During the
fourteen years of their coniugal rela-
ton Mr.. Madgett makes affidavit that
he and his wife have quarreled 6,1l0
times. Mr.. Madgett is thus statis-
tically precise because, from the very
day the preacher tied the knot, he
kept domestic diary, with possible
view to future divorce contingencies.
Having thus acted as the historian of
the little domestic infelicities that are
wont to sometimes ripple even the
placid surface of true love Mr.. Mad
gett is enabled to furnish his lawyer
with a tabulated classification of the
source and nature of these divers and
sundrv conjugal spats. 1t seems from
Mr.. Madgett's record, that the period
of his double blessedness was fruitful
of 436 quarrels a year, to strike a
yearly average of the imposing aggre-
gate, which gives an average OF
quarrel day and some to spare.

FAT FEES FOR TRUST HUNTERS
But Little to Show for Half Million
Dollar Appropriation.


At the beginning of the fifty-eighth
congress a fund of $500, 600 was placed
at the disposal of the department of
Justice for the purpose of prosecuting
the unlawful trusts. There had been
some criticisms of the government 5
attitude toward the trusts while Phil
ander G.. Knox was attorney general.
1t was pointed out that he had eXpend-
ed ONLY S25, 900 in an effort to curb the
trusts, whereupOn there was demand
that the department of Justice be given
an ample fund with which to work
and instructed to push the matter to
the bitter end. Hence the $500, 900 ap-
priation was passed, and Attorney
General Moody was given to under
stand that the warmer ne made it for
the trusts the better congress would
| like it.
II is believed that congress will have
no cause for complaint with respect to
a small amount of money spent on the
trust cases when it next assemblies.
Indeed. the half million dollars will
nrobablv have disappeared like a
snow bank under a hot sun. Between
forty and fifty special attorneys, at
LARGE fees, are at work on the trust
cases. Some show of prosecution has
been made against the beef trust, the
paper trust, the tobacco trust and the
oil trust, as well as against the rail
road rebate evil. The beef trust has
continued on in the even tenor OF its
wav without paying the slightest atten-
ton to the proceedings. Nor has
either the oil trust or the paper trust
evinced any of the symptoms of fear
or anxiety. About the only result
that anybody looks for is the dissipa-
ton of the $500, 900 fund and call for
more money when congress meets.

PARALYSIS OF RAILROADERS
A DISEASE THAT is BECOMING
ALARNIINGLY FREQUENT.
Mostly Affects Face and Legs, and is
Found More Frequently Among
Conductors and Brakemen.


That paralysis of the face and legs
is becoming alarmingly frequent
among railroad men, and that num-
Der of such employees travelling out of
Louisville are now affected with forms
of the disease more or less serious,
was brought out in the convention of
the Kentucky Homeopathic Associa-
ton which met at the Gait House,
says Louisville dispatch. The ma
jority of the cases reported are among
conductors and brakemen, and engi
neers and tiremen seem to be the least
affected, although few cases from
this branch of railway employees have
been reported.
The question of paralysis among
railroad men was brought up by DR..
Hugh NJ Clendenin, who has been llv-
ing in south Louisville for some time.
Among DR.. Clendenin's patients are
number of railroad men, and he stated
that cases of paralysis are being re-
ported to him every few months. The
men affected are generally young and
age has not told on their systems, and
Ut. CI6uQ6uIA dSh6Q lOE du 6A pldud-
ton of the cases.
Paralysis in the majority of the
cases which have come under DR..
Clendenin's attention affected the face,
and for months he has been treating
the eyes, jaws, muscles and nerves of
the faces of a number of men employed
by the Louisville and Nashville None
of these cases are serious, and very
few have proved permanent, but each
has been sufficient to keep the affected
men out of work for several months.
Owing to the fact that majority of
the affected men were brakemen the
majority of the physicians gathered at
the convention decided that the paral-
ysis was due to numerous causes,
among them the long hours of work,
the constant nervous strain, poor food
furnished while on run, and the sud
den shocks to which they are liable.
The facial paralysis in most cases was
attributed to the force of the wind
blowing at different temperatures
against the head The remaining
cases were thought to be due to the
nervous strain and the irregular hours
of the men.
