lives with her uncle, John Garner, in
this city, was kidnapped and drugged,
carbolic acid was poured down her

man, four miles from here.
Monday afternoon while on her way
home from school, Miss McAnally was
accosted by u stranger, who talked
familiarity of her family. They walked
in the direction or the girls home.
The stranger produced a box Of candy
and invited her TO partake of 1t.
Knew Nothing More.
Sne ate several pieces and declares
she remembers none Of the incidents
following until she regained semi-con-
seriousness on a street a nea Bell
wood. When her companion realized
that she had revived he had the car
stopped below Pine Croft and they dis
embarked. He informed the girl she
had suddenly became Ill and that he
would take her to a friends house.
He led her into the woods, drew a
paper from his pocket and told her she
must sign it. She refused. He said 1t
was an order pom her guardian for
1000 n that If h signed 1t she would
be taken back home.
I Refuse, and you'll get this" he
said, as he drew a revolver.
Undaunted by his threats she 'ad-
hered to her determination not to sign
the paper. The mans patience ex-
hausted he grabbed her by the throat
ana poured into her mouth liquid from
a vial. s.'a

not revive until yesterday morning.

Ten Cents a Yard---Highest
Ever Known.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE cotton
goods trust has. advanced prices to a
point where even q calico dress will
be a luxury for many New York wom-

sister will now have to pay not less
than 10 cents a yard for prints" which
q year ago cost at retail not more than
4 or 8 cents.
This, too, despite a decline in the
price of raw cotton. which only goes
to show how thoroughly the Fall River
combine, headed by Matthew c. d.
Borden, OF this city, controls the mar
ket for all print goods. Owing to the
high cost OF the better qualities Of
cotton and other dress fabrics, there
has arisen an enormous demand for
prints" The manufacturers are TAX

DISPOSITION OF
COTTON SLED CROP
low Price Forces Careful
Consideration.
(Pres. A. H. Soule, Ga. State College
of Agricultural

(Pres. A. NJ Soule, Ga. State College
of Agriculture
The low price now being paid for
cotton seed makes the disposition of
this part of the crop wen worthy of
the farmers most careful considera-
ton A ton of cotton seed contains
about IS pounds of ammonia, 26
pounds of phosphoric acid and "a
pounds of potash. The ammonia at
Is cents a pound would be worth
Sl1.25, the prosphoric acid at cents
a pound would be worth $130, and
the potash at IL cents a pound
would be forth $l.32 The fertilizing
value of one ton of cotton seed is
thus seen TO be $13.S7 at prevailing
market prices for available plant
food; in other words, az the price
the farmer would be called on to pay
for commercial plant food. With
cotton seed at from $1,000 to $1,000
ton, it is clear that it would pay
the farmer to use his seed for ferti-
lizer. OF course, it would be much
better to feed the seed to the cattle
and save the manure and apply to
the land Especial care should be
taken to save the liquid part which
is rich i'm nitrogen This can be
effected by using leaves, straw and
litter of various kinds as absorbents.
The raw seed can only be fed
with satisfaction in limited quanti-
ties to COWS because of the excessive
amount of oil they contain. When
steamed, however, they can be fed
i'm much larger amounts to good adj
vantage. The steaming is easily ac-
compHshed All that is needed Is
tight wooden box of any desired
length and not over feet deep and
3 feet wide Near the bottom of this
box an iron pipe should be run from
the boiler or feed cooker and small
openings made. throughout it's length
so as to permit the steam to escape
readily Fill the box full Of seed,
pack down securely and cover with
old sacks. Turn in live steam and
allow to stand over night. The la
Dor involved in steaming the seed
amounts to something, but it will pay
the farmer to handle them as suggest
ed owing to the better results OBJ
