POISON NEARLY
CAUSES ANOTHER DEATH

Absent-mindedness on the part of
Mrs. George Blakeley of Brownsville
nearly resulted In her death Tuesday
noon from strychnine poisoning,
when she thoughtlessly poured out
spoonful of the strychnine solution
that her aunt, Mrs. Mamie B. Saw
yer, had killed herself with a few
minutes before. Thought of what
she had done and the consequences,
came to Mrs. Blakeley Immediately
after she had taken the poisonous
Bquid into her mouth so that she
did not swallow any of It. The. effect
OF the strychnine, however, was
enough to cause her to become par
TALLY blind for few hours.
Mrs. Blakeley came to her aunt's
house when informed of the tragedy
She walked Into the bedroom where
the deceased lay and as she stepped
up to the bedside her feet came in
contact with the bottle of poison
which Mrs. Sawyer had placed under
the bed after swallowing a portion of
the contents. Unthinkingly Mrs.
Blankeley picked the bottle up and
poured out spoonful which she took
into her mouth In order to ascertain
its contents She says that she knew
az once that the liquid contained a
strong solution OF strychnine and SO
spat II out OF her month,

DANGER IN BRINGING
SHEEP FROM MOUNTAINS

| As this Is the date for bringing
sheen out of the mountains and gov
eminent reserves there are a great
many problems which the sheep men
will have to face in the drives Ac.
cording to DR.. W. Fl. Lytle, state
sheep Inspector, the date has recently
passed for the removal of flocks from
the reserves and, that, together with
/ the approach of cold weather is caus-
| ing a general movement of sheep
from the mountains to the foothills
to private ranches.
In trailing. sheep are subjected
to n great many dangers. The 1ocks
that go over the road first will eat
off all the grass and those that come
after will be subject to danger from
pol7dn roots. The recent rains will
minimize this danger somewhat.
The most general danger, how
ever, accordingto DR.. Lytle, to which
sheen are subjected in trailing, Is
the danger from eating too much al
kali. Sheen men in this section may
best be warned and advised by read
ing tho experiences OF sheep men of
the Arlington district.
In Arlington, DR.. Lytle say, that
there has been heavy losses Of sheen
this season in trailing. The most
general cause of the los7es has been
alkali poisoning. In many instances
sheen were trailed for $50 miles
through dry country where it was
oftimes necessary for them to 90 two
days or more without water. In adj
dition to this the drivers neglected
to give the sheep enough salt. As a
result they licked up alkali when
ever they found II along the road.
These two things, lack Of sufficient
water, and of plenty of salt are most
often the cause of alkali poisoning.
The symptoms are bloat, followed
by scours: usually frotb and deposit
of alkali like salt round mouth and
nostrils.
A great many sheep in the Airing
ton district have been saved by treat
ment after getting poison. The best
general treatments are, preventing
animals from drinking excess OF al
kali water: n bloated puncture with
a knife. Give raw of.

CRAFT CHARGED At PANAMA
SCANDAL BREWING OVER THE
DIGGING OF THE BIG DITCH.
Brothers Says 1t Cost Him $4,000
to Learn His Device Was just
What the Government Wanted.


to Learn His Device Was just
What the Government Wanted.
We have heard some rumors re-
Gently that dirt had indeed begun to
fly on the canal at Panama, but still
more definite rumors have begun to
fly of gigantic graft in Panama ca
nal contracts. William F.. Brothers,
president of the Balanced Cable
Crane Company of New York, has
filed charges of graft with the war
department affecting Col. George w.
Cocktails, chairman and chief engi-
neer of the Panama Canal Commits
sion. Brothers is the manufacturer of
Ia hosting crane for which he had
a satisfactory business, and he says
he was induced by a young man in
Col. Cocktails office to bid for the
government contracts against his in
clinatiOn. He was told by this man
that his crane was the best thing for
the governments work; that the gov
eminent must have it, and that he
would not have to put in the lowest
bids to get the contracts. Continu-
ing his story to a reporter of the
New York World Mr.. Brothers said {:
II then offered to seek the bust
ness, and he told me that if / would
engage a certain firm of engineers
as COnsultants and pay them 20 per
cent. of my bid | would surely get
the contract
He advised me to add 40 per
cent. to the price l would give to a
private concern. I saw the engi-
neers. The result was that plans al
ready drawn for hosting machinery
were changed so that my patented
device alone would comply with the
specifications.
When it was time to put in the
bid the firm of consulting engi-
neers demanded an additional 21%
per cent. and enormous sums for eX-
penses. My company refused to pay
more than 20 per cent, and we were
told that we could not have the con-
tract.
Brothers says lit has cost me $1O,-
600 to learn that my device was Just
what the government wanted, pro-
yided | should pay graft to a firm of
engineers. | have neglected my bus
mess for several months, and ! think
I'm a sucker whangdoOdled,' as
William J. Oliver said when he was
the lowest bidder for the construc-
ton of the entire canal"

BIG MONEY IN CANT ELOUPES
Former Desert Land in the West
Now Worth $4,000 an Acre.
A Great Fruit Section.

A Denver, Col, dispatch says: In
some sections of this state and in
the southwest, where only a few
years ago the land was a worthless
desert, the canteloupe is king. The
luscious fruit is at its best where
other fruits and vegetables are not
grown. 1t is a hermit. Squashes,
watermelons and pumpkins grown in
its vicinity cause it to deteriorate,
but potatoes grown in its neighbor-
hood seem to add to it's virtue.
From four districts IN the west the
export value of canteloupes this year
will be $10,000,000. In the vicinity
of Glenwood, this state, new land,
redeemed by irrigation and devoted
to canteloupes is selling for $4,000
an acre. This statement seems pre-
posterous until one is confronted by
the recorded deeds. A fruit farm of
20 acres which was bought at 81 900
an acre three years ago produced in
canteloupes per acre in the three
years $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000,
thus returning the purchase price
each year with so per cent profit
the following years.
The region about Glenwood which
it is possible to irrigate does not ex-
coed 10000 acres, and most of it
has already been snapped up. The
soil is incredibly rich, but has no
rainfall.
Another canteloupe district is the
SaltOn Sea, in southern California,
formerly desert strewn with
bleaching human bones Part of it
is now irrigated, and from one Sec
ton there was shipped IAis year ST.
100000 worth of melons, while as
much more rotted on the ground.
This former sun-baked desert is now
bringing apricot trees into bearing
in two years and giving crops of bar
ley, kafir corn, onions and cante-
loupes in succession on the same land
in one year. The sun shines 365
days in a year.

THE LATE r. d. COMMANDER.
A Tribute to the Memory of a Recent
ly Deceased Citizen.

ly Deceased Citizen.
Mr.. Robert D. Commander was
born of Primitive Baptist parents in
Marion county, Georgia, in April,
1856, and departed this life in Ter
rell county, Georgia, September IS,
1908. He was married to Miss Pen
ME Kaufman January 1, 1882. His
father moved from Marion county to
Terrell county in 1861 or 1862. Mr..
Commander was a good citizen, a
good neighbOr, and an all around
good man. He never Joined any
church, but was of the Primitive Bap-
fist faith, and doubtless would have
Joined a church of that faith and
order had he have survived his last
Illness, as he told the writer of this
letter on the fourth Sunday in July
last that ne had procrastinated for
some time a duty which seemed to
be incumbent upon him.
Soon after this conversion with
him he vas taken sick with typhoid
fever and suffered long and patiently
until death relieved him of his suf-
ferings. All that medical skill, gen.
tie hands and faithful nurses could
do was most certainly done for him,
but his work on earth had ended,
and the Master had called, come
home" The last enemy to be con-
quered is death. Oh! death where is

MILLIONS LOST IN SHORT CROP
Shrinkage i'm Number OF 1}a;es and
Prices Hits Georgia Hard.

Prices Hits Georgia Hard.
Estimates prepared by the state
department of agriculture show that
the present crop in Georgia is worth
many millions of dollars less than
the one of 1907.
In 1907 cotton to the extent of
,901,576 bales was produced in
Georgia 1t was worth, at 11.9 per
pound, the price that prevailed at
that time. $101,681, 1862.
1t is estimated that no more than
I 100000 bales will be produced this
year, which, at cents a pound, the
present price, will be worth $63, 0O0,-
600.
These figures show loss of 3S per
cent, or $38,684,342.
In 1907 corn to the amount of
57,538,000 bushels was produced,
while it is estimated that only 40
.276,600 bushels will be harvested
this year. This shows a falling off
of 80 per cent. Corn sold at 76
cents a bushel at this time last year.
while it costs $1.06 now.
