The best way of raising corn for
seed, as followed In the West, says G.
w. Morrill, In TrI-State Farmer, Is to
prepare a seed bed or testing ground
OF from one to two acres far removed
from other fields. To begin with, no
from which to select grains for the
seed crop, selecting such type Of corr
that you wish to grow, the work OF
selection should be followed year after
year, selecting the best ears that show
an improvement over previous years.
ANY plant that Is deficient In any re-
Quirement should not be allowed to de-
velop a tassel. and especially barren
Stalk.
AS to corn feeding, the seed plots
should not suffer for want of plant
food. From field experiments with fer
tilizers on corn In the West last year.
on soils of average fertility, a higher
per cent Of potash than ordinary fer
tilizer contains gave remarkable re-
suits and would undoubtedly give sim
liar results on the average lands Of
Georgia. In Georgia last year were
used more fertilizers with corn than
was ever used In years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more attention
to the selection Of seed, and intensive
culture, there Is no doubt or reason
why the average yield Of well-bred corn
should not be increased In the South,
and especially Georgia.

PROPOSED TAX H0LD.UP.

The Claude armstrong Coun-
ty) News, discussing Captain
McDonald's instructions to as
SCISSORS, says
For the past half century, pos
sibly, it has been the custom in
rendering taxes to place proper
ty at about one-third its actual
value, and on this basis the tax
rate has been fixed. This has
been the custom so long that it
has carried with it almost
the sanctity of law. The ad va
loren rate now in force is Is %
cents on the 500 and the school
tax Is cents on the 500, making
IA total of "a 2-3 cents of the 500.
AT this rate and under present
valuations the State has been
able to meet her obligations, or
nearly so. Now comes the man
date from the revenue agent re
quiring the assessor to have each
individual render under oath all
his property at actual value.
With this ruling strictly enforc-
ed and the rate at the present
figures, there would be enough
money collected from the people
the coming year to run the State
Government, properly admins
tered, for fully three years. Now
what the tax payers would like
to know is, what is the necessity
for this radical change in our Sys-
TEN? And what the good sense
in piling up this money in the
treasury? If the Legislature will,
before the session comes to a
close, reduce the rate onehalf,
then there could be no objection
in a raise of values. We question
the practicability of enforcing
orders as issued by the revenue
agent and no doubt endorsed by
Governor Campbell. The people
have rights, and while the former
ranger had the power to enforce
his orders at the end of his six

No Damage Where Predestined.

Up in Rhode Island they mix
theology and law as follows:
Rev. Moffett brought suit against
a railroad company for $40, 900,
the damage alleged to have been
sustained by reason of the death
on the defendant company's rail
road of the plaintiffs father, who
was also a Presbyterian minister.
The jury returned verdict
awarding the plaintiff 81. The
reason assigned was that both
Rev. Mof'ett and his father were
believers in predestination, and
had preached this doctrine. 1t
was held, therefore, that since
the elder MOtfett's death had
been decreed from before the
foundation of the world, and that
since the decree was unalterable
and Interchangeable, the railroad
company was in no way liable,
since the manner and time of
death had been fixed by the Gre
ator. Dallas News.
