NEGRO BROKER ON CURB.
The New York Stock Exchange Has
Something New.


What is believed to be the death
knell Of craps" was sounded yester-
day when, for the first time IN the
history of the Broad street curb mar
ket, a negro broker transacted bust
ness there, says the New York Trib-
une. The man was Robert w. Tay-
Tor. He has an Office at No. 81
Broad street, and is said to have
learned his trading methods while in
the employ of a New York Stock Ex-
change house. He was not mOlested
in any way, and did not have to I'M
dergo the usual initiation as full
tledged member of the curb.
Taylor confined his operations to
Cobalt Central. His clients were sew
eral prosperous appearing negroes,
who looked like Pullman porters off
duty. There was a rumOr on the
curb, however, that a large client
age from the San Juan dill district
had been promised him, and as soon
as the fact is generally known that
one Of their own race is a broker
on the curb it is believed that the
negro gamblers, instead of playing
craps, will take to specializing in
mining stocks.

JUDGE jim HINES FLOPS AGAIN

Party i'll Good Faith"


in public statement just issued
Judge j. K. Hines, attorney to the
railroad commission, goes back in
to the populist fold, after a tentative
absence in the democratic ranks for
ia few years.
Judge Hines says further that he
will vote for his lifelong friend,
Thomas e. Watson. He is impelled
to make this statement by many in
qufries from friends all over the
state. In his statement Judge Hines
said that he felt that personal friend
ship rose above mere party affilia-
tons, and that he was under both
personal and political obligations to
Mr. Watson, and he felt it his duty
and pleasure to vote for him.
Judge Hines said further that he
is by no means in accord with the
political principles of Mr.. Bryan. He
declares that Bryan does not stand
the remOtest chance for election, and
that his vote will matter little one
way or the other here in Georgia
Judge Hines has been one of Gov
ernor Smiths strongest supporters
from the first, and it has been the

more a democrat to work permanent

BETTERING IT'S EQUIPMENT.
Central Is Buying More SIeepcrs and
Other Cars.

At an approximate cost of $780,
600 the Central Of Georgia Railway
has placed orders for eighteen sleep
ing cars and six combination mail
and baggage cars to be delivered by
February next.
The Central is one of the few roads
in the country which does not pay
toll to the Pullman company for the
use Of its cars, but owns and operates
its own sleepers, which are built for
this road under special contract by
the Pullman Car Company at Chi
cage.
The mail and baggage cars were
ordered from one Of the leading car
manufacturers, These cars will be
of the latest construction and be
modern in every detail.
Carrying out the well-knOwn pol
icy Of the road this new equipment
was ordered to keep up to a high
standard the roads rolling-stock, and
not for the reason which might he
supposed of increased traffic.
1t is hoped that the Southwestern
division will be favored with some
of these new cars in lieu of the old
ones now used.

Inferior to Standard.
THE so-called Williamson or
stunning method of producing corn
has been tested by the state expert
ment station of South Carolina and
by many farmers in our demonstra-
ton work, and it has been proven
inferior to other standard methods.
Some say they follow the William
som method and omit the stunting
process. If the stunning is omitted
it is not the Williamson methol. ~
has been also tested at Auburn witt
negative results.
The sure method of raising 2
good corn crop is the following:
thoroughly drained and full Of hu-
mus; seed of a variety that makes a
short stalk with plenty Of ears
(planting a variety with tendency
to fruit heavily is better than an at
tempt that never produced much but
stake Moderate Fertilization and
intensive cultivation are recommend
ed. The plants should be properly
spaced.
1T is not the policy Of the United
States department 10 oppose the test
ing Of any method, but it is only
common prudence to caution every
one to 90 slow in testing a method
d'sapDroved bv science and practical
experience. If a test is to be made
the fair way would be to thoroughly
prepare q field. giving to all parts the
same attention, plant the same corn

is the chief champion Of the William
son corn method in Alabama. The
hand that the United States depart
ment of agriculture has taken in the
agitation of corn cultivation may
elicit further talk from Mr.. Seymour.
1t may be that yet the farmers
will awaken to the necessity Of grow
ing more corn and less cotton, and if
; economic incentives are insufficient
the hot dispute over the proper cult
walton method may drive them to
corn raising as a matter Of curiosity.

WOMAN CREATED SENSATION.
Just After Wedding She Gave the
Bridegroom His Child.

Like the climax in a drama was
the revenge of a discarded woman at
the wedding Of her sutton and her
rival here, says a Fall River, Mass,
dispatch. The marriage of Charles
J. Reagan, banker, and Miss Mary
b. Chadwick was the social event of
the season. The church was filled
with friends. After the ceremony
the bride and members of the we'd
ding party started down the aisle as
the wedding march was played. A
closely yelled woman clad in black
rose up, picked up four-year-Old
boy and held him out to Mr.. Reagan
Stop, Charles Reagan" she cried
Miss, Miss Sullivan" gasped
Reagan.
Yes, it's l, answered the woman,
Here he is; here is your child: I've
taken care Of him for four years
Now you must take him-you or
your wife"
The woman turned and walked out
The bride tainted and friends were
horror-stricken. Reagan stood alone
in the church aisle holding in his
arms the baby, who was CRYING for
his mother.
When the bride revived she re-
turned to her home alone. Mr. Rao-
gan lett town, refusing to make
known his destination. He took tho
child with him.

SUGGESTIONS IN COTTON BREEDING

would naturally go to that part to
collect seed for planting. But
among the first ten plants, as shown
in colmun one, the range is from is
to 43 hollis We then proceeded to
figure just what it would mean to
have 4 field of cotton plants all pro-
ducing 43 bOlls instead of IS. 1t
was clearly seen that the yield would
be increased $50 per cent, and would
not cost a cent more for labor or fer
tilizer. This is simple illustration
proved: First, that there is a great
variation in the yield of plants in
any field of cotton; second, that If
interest is shown in the yield of in
dividual plants the average farmer
can double his yield by getting his
cotton crop to the standard of his
best plants. No field of cotton is
altogether free from good plants. In
fact, the best plant IN a sorry field
of cotton is better than the average
plant in a good field. The fault lies
in the lack Of interest shown by the
grower. He should know the aver
age yield of his plants and gradually
eradicate the poor fruiting plants
that do not pay for the fertilizer it
takes to grow them.
Ii farmers have any questions to
ask in reference to these simple sug-
gestions the State College of Agri-
culture will be glad to answer them.
We ask that each one who makes an
effort to improve his cotton by the
method suggested keep a record of
his efforts and see if it pays.
