Rome, Ga, Oct. 4.-Tne Floyd
County Farmers union met Wedneo-
day in the court house here vita 80
local unions represented.
The question OF holding cotton was
discussed, and 1t was universally de-
cided that every reasonable effort
would be made to keep as much OF thu
cotton of the market for the next %
days as possible,
The meeting mad a particular sig
nifcance, as the farmers OF Floyd
county are greatly interested in the
work of the union just at this time
and are taking an active part be-
cause OF alleged misleading statements
as to the crop in Georgia, which nave
operated to lower the price OF cotton
to the injury OF the farmer.
II is understood that these high
estimates are distasteful to a large
number OF the members OF the union
OF Floyd county. and that all con
denim them. Resolutions on the SUB
iect were passed.

Interesting Experiments in Uti-
Iizing Ashes Are Success
full at HagerStoWn.
ASHES AND COAL MIXTURE
THIRD ASHES MAKES A FUEL
THAT BURNS VERY READILY IN
STOVES AND FURNACES.

Hagerstown, Ind, April 12.-Some
interesting experiments in utilizing
eoaI ashes for fuel, have been carried
on here during the past few weeks
witnessed the experiments. Not less
than % per cent of the coal can be
saved and practically all of the ashes
consumed This is accomplished in
the ordinary furnace and stove used
in heating residences and both hard
and soft coal were used in the expert
ments Were this method not 50
simple and absolutely without expense
it might be called new discovery
possessing tremendous possibilities.
1t is incredible that it has not been
matter of general knowledge since
the discovery of coal for fuel, for it is
as sensible as kindling a fire and as
easily practiced as wasting the ashes.
Tried at Hindman House.
The discovery was first tried here at
the Hindman house, where anthracite
coal is used in the furnace. 1t was
scuttles full of ashes every morning
when the furnace was shaken down.
The pile of ashes which accumulated
up to the first of February, when the
new method of burning fuel was
adopted. was as large as a hay stack.
A travelling man from Indianapolis OBJ
served the pile of ashes and Informed
the landlord of the hotel that such
waste was wicked. He told how him
self and his neighbors had settled the
question of disposing of the ashes
from their furnaces and incidentally
saving large per cent of fuel. The
large box and throw two or three
bushels of ashes into it. The ashes
were thoroughly wet down and shak-
en- together so that no dry ashes re
manned in the same. Then coal to
about twice the amount of ashes was
thrown upon the heap and the entire
mass mixed together. This is the
proportion of one-third ashes to two
thirds coal. The fuel is then ready
for use. 1t can be used only on a
fire already started to burning, as
the mixture resembles somewhat Q
stiff mortar and is very wet. Usually
it should be thrown only upon a hot
fire The combustion that follows is
complete and practically all of the
ashes and cinders, together with all
clinkers are consumed. The result
ing heat is greater than that made by
coal alone and it lasts longer.
Many Have Tried 1t.
At the Hindman house anthracite
coal only is used in the furnace. No
one here has yet tried the experiment
in base burners using anthracite. but
it is claimed it will work perfectly
and result fully as satisfactory as in
the furnaces. Many persons have
tried the experiment with soft coal,
both in furnaces and ordinary heating
and cooking stoves. Another great
advantage is that very little smoke is
sues from the chimney. Instead. a
soft whitish vapor arises from the
chimney which causes no unpleasant
ness in the neighborhood.

the uneXpectedness of the assault and
by the time that he had recovered his
composure, the assaiIant had taken TO

Il had suffered for good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
l was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
Undesirable feeling that seemed TO
start in my stomach. Whenever l was
little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
Il was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infiamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time L nave been SUBJECT 10 the
fainting spells and at other times 10 flut-
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though I was smothering. My general
health was very bad and was weak and
trembling.
Il had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When l began taking
the pills was so run down in strength
that I could hardly do any homework.
Now I could walk ten miles if necessary.
