ABATiNG NUISANCE
PROVES PROFITABLE
Obnoxious Fumes Into Sui
phuriC Acid.

ATLANTA, GA, November q
(SpeciaD -Attorney General Jno. C..
Hart is watching with interest the
progress made at Ducktown, Tenn,
on the giant leaden chambers which
are to transform the now deadly sui
phuric acid and which will, in turn,
be used in the manufacture of fer
tilizer to be used generally through
out the South.
The supreme court of the United
States recently granted an injunc-
ton against the further operation of
this plant as soon as Georgia,
through Hart, should ask for it's dis
continuance.
The owners are now installing a
leaden chamber there, nearly as large
as the state capitol in Atlanta, into
which these sulphur fumes, now pass
ing out through a 375 foot smoke
stack to be spread over the county,
destroying vegetation, will run and
be converted into this sulphuric acid
so essential to the manufacture of
acid phosphate
According to the state chemists
office at the state capitol, this Gull
phuric acid when secured is mixed
with phosphate rock and produces
acid phosphate.
This acid phosphate, mike h
kainit, secured from Germa nd
cotton seed meal, the VIC own
southern product, forms WI gom-
monty known as a comp -e 9rtili-
ger.
Cotton seed meal has such a high
percentage of nitrogen, so essential
to plant life, that it is more common
ly used than any other ingredient in
the south.
Judge Hart states that he will give
the plant owners ample time to try
and abate this nuisance, but if not
successfully the decree will be en-
tered and the plant shut down.

LETTER TO F. p. MITCHELL,
Americas, Georgia.

Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con-
tractors and builders, Morgan City,
La, have painted Devoe for 3 or 4
years. They say it takes less gal
Ions Devoe than of any other paint
they have used. That means that a
job costs less with Devoe; not only
for paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else. Devoe
exclusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and
others; oversight may be; perhaps
too soon for that But Devoe is the
strongest paint; that's why least
gallons; best wear, same reason
Least cost and longest time between
jobs. Yours truly,

by reason of his long service in the
House, almost as well known among
his new associates as if he had long
been in the Senate. He and Norris
Brown, the new Senator from Nebras-
ka, who succeeds Willard, have both
proclaimed in advance their earnest
support of Roosevelt in the carrying
out Of his policies, and they are there
fore looked upon as valuable recruits
for the Administration. William AL
den Smith, who takes the seat made
vacant by the death of Senator Alger
of Michigan, is well known because of
his services in the House.
Simon Guggenheimer, the smelter
from Colorado, who succeeds Patter-
son, is the only extremely rich man
among the new Senators, and Frank
0. Briggs, who succeeds Dryden of
New Jersey, has the distinction of
being the only one with whiskers
among the new crop of Senators.
In the Senate, more than in the
House, the changes will be marked
by reason of the character of the men
who have retired and of the marked
contrast in some instances between
them and the men who are to take
their places.

Changes in Senate.

In the Senate the changes will be
even more noticeable than in the
House. Death has removed from the
ranks the two oldest members of that
body, Pettus and Morgan of Alabama,
whose places will be taken by for
mer Congressman Bankhead and JOS
eph F. Johnson, Ex-Governor of Ala
bama.
Berry of Arkansas, who served
twenty years in the Senate, is re-
placed by Jeff Davis. 'FiddIing
Bob" Taylor takes the place of Sena-
tor Carmack of Tennessee. Joe"
Blackburn of Kentucky gives way to
Thomas H. Paynter, and Dubois of
Idaho, one of the best politicians in
the Senate, is succeeded by William
E. Borah
The baby member of the Senate will
be Elmer E. Burkett, of Nebraska.
But a few months older than Burkett
is Joseph NJ. Dixon, who takes the
place of w A Clark, the Montana
copper king.
First Indian Senator.
Senator-elect Curtis, of Kansas, is,

SibIey Retired

Another picturesque figure has
disappeared with the retirement of
Hon. Joseph G. Sibley of Franklin
Pa, district, who served ten. years
in the House. He was elected to the
Fifty-third Congress as a Democrat,
and again to the Fifty-sixth Congress,
after narrowly escaping nomination
as Vice President on the Bryan tick
ct.
Another old-timer who will be
missed is James w. Wadswortk of
the Thirty-fourth New York district,
debated by Peter A. Porter, Demo-
crat. Mr. Wadsworth served about
eighteen years in the House and was
chiefly CONSPICUOUS on account of his
important, work as chairman of the
Committee on Agriculture.
Other members of the House who
will be missed when the Sixtieth Con-
gress assemblies are Bowie of Ala
bama, Smith, Trimble and Gilbert of
Kentucky, Robertson of Louisiana,
McNary and Sullivan of Massachu-
sets, Hunt of Missouri, Van Duzer
Of Nevada, McDermott of New Jersey,
Hearst, Towan and Rupert of New
York, Patterson and Gudger of North
Carolina, CARRIER of Ohio, Kiln of
Pennsylvania, Butler of Tennessee,
Brooks and Field of Texas, Southall
of Virginia, Donover and Davis of
West Virginia, and Bishop of Michi-
gan. These disappear from the House
because they failed of denomination
last fall.
Included among the leaders who
were renominated but failed to Sc
cure reelection were such prominent
leaders as Babcock of Wisconsin, La
cey of Iowa, Blackburn of North Car
DINA, McCleary of Minnesota, and
Fred Lands of Indiana.

Lincoln and Washington, and, taking
alarm, they seized the reins of the
party and with a spectacular flourish
ing of banners with new notices in
scribed thereon, and loud blaring of
trumpets they stampeded the party
into a new corral. Following the tao
tics of the cowboys they cut out a
couple of lusty leaders and run them
at the head of the procession and sue
cecded in landing in office queer mix
ture of white, black, streaked and
spotted politicians, as incongruous a
mess as was ever seen.
Will this outfit obey the order that
was SO plainly given by the people,
of stop thief? Is not such too much
to hope for under the circumstances
Yet, upon strict obedience to the
command Of the people rests the fu-
ture of the republican party in the
state. Through Indifference born Of
ignorance, alone, do the people con-
done offenses in public servants or
political parties. They are incapable
of condoning an offense after becom-
ing aroused and active in the work
Of overthrowing recognized evils in
government.
Let us hope that there are enough
honest republicans in the legislature
for the fusionists to unite with to
save the state from the further hui
initiation of government in the in
terest of the plunderers of Wall
Street.

A Modern Solomon

Joseph Choate, the famous lawyer,
related at a dinner party at Lenox
some interesting "reminiscences of the
bar and bench. "A striking case"
said Mr.. Choate, "transpired in the
COS. It was case Of workman
who claimed to have lost the sight Of
his left eye in an explosion.
There was no doubt about the ex-
plosion, and there was no doubt that
the workmans eye had been injured; |;
but the physicians claimed that he
could see out of Il, while he stoutly
declared that the sight was utterly
destroyed.
''The Judge heard all the evidence
pro and con. Then, sending the work
man from the courtroom, he said.
Get blackboard and write a
sentence on 1t with green chalk. Also
get pair Of spectacles with ordinary
clear glass for the left eye and with
red glass for the right
This in the course of an hour or
so, was done. Then the workman was
brought back and he was ordered to
put the queer glasses on.
'He put them on and the Judge said
