AMT 1T A SHAME ?

From the Washington ID. c. Herald
And now that man Brown, the
present governor of Georgia, has
done another curious thing. In fact,
he threatens to become more of less
famous throughout the union for do
ing odd, not to say eccentric, things.
He has declined to pardon an EN-
bezzler-and over the recommends
ton of the pardon board, moreover
in spite of the fact that the man
wants to be turned loose, is will
ing to promise to be good in the flu
ture, has a host of influential" po-
litical and social hackers, and is not
thought to be in very good health,
anyway.
What is the governor thinking
about? Did he mean it when he said
that there should not be in Georgia
one law for the rich and another for
the poor, one for the classes and an
other for the masses, when he de-
clined to commute the sentence of
that Mitchell party few days ago?
Mitchell is white man of ''immacu-
late" past and high connections. But
he was convicted of kidnapping and
attempting criminal assault upon the
person of a well-known young wo-
man of the state, nevertheless and
Notwithstanding.
Says this peculiar governor in con-
Isidering the embezzlers plea for
'clemency:
"The applicant in this case has
served a less time than that which
the law fixes as the maximum upon
which parole can be granted. A

the country show better conditions
than in the south. That is because
the citizens elsewhere are more frank
in giving out information. We do
not mean that the people of the
south tell falsehoods, but refrain
from telling anything that they are
not obliged to, and leave much to
the enumerators to supply.
1t is absolutely necessary for the
good of Georgia and the south that
our people be just as exact as posi-
BILE in answering the questions asked.
If our people are frank with the
enumerators it will be shown in the
reports that we make in Georgia
much more corn per acre than we
have in the past been credited with;
that the yield of cane, potatoes, oats,
and cotton per acre is very satisfac-
tory
In the latter part of next spring
the census will be taken. 1t should
be correctly done. In order that
there be no mistake every person ap-
preached should be just as obliging
and as exact as possible.
1t is important that every man,
woman and child be recorded, and
it is equally as important that every
question asked regarding farm pro-
duction be as truthful as is neces-
sary to get correct report.
If our people will furnish correct
information Georgia will not suffer
the misfortune of being behind the
states of the north, east and west
in the amount of farm products
raised per acre.

THE FARMER AND CENSUS REPORT
SOME REASONS WHY PREPARED TO GIVE COM
PLETE AND RELIABLE INFORMATION
rom the Dublin Courier-Dispatch.

From the Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
Owing to the fact that the people
OF the south are very reluctant in
giving information to the census
enumerators this section is done a
monstrous injustice.
Some of the people have an idea
that the information given out may
be used against them in some way.
especially as regards taxes, and,
therefore, refuse to let much be
known.
1t is the desire of the government
to obtain all the information posi-
Bile regarding farm work, the num-
Der of bales of cotton raised on each
farm, number of bushels of corn, DO
tatoes, peas, vetch, cane and all the
other crop products.
This information is confidential.
The ehumerators dare not give it
out. No one can possibly know any
thlng about it except the man fur
nishing the information and those
through whose hands the reports
pass.
No person connected with any
state or municipal government can
obtain access to the reports. They
are consolidated and the average in
formation given out only, such as
the amount of corn or cotton, etc.,
raised on given acre in a certain
county or state.

FERTILIZERS FOR COTTON SOILS
Results of Comprehensive Study by
Agricultural Department.

Agricultural Department.
The results of a comprehensive
study by Prof. Milton Whitney, chief
of the bureau of soils of the agri-
culture department at Washington.
on fertilizers for cotton soils" has
just been made public.
Prof. Whitney says: "The chances
for increase in crop production are
greater with two or three fertilizers
mixed than with a single substance,
and a larger increase gives in general
larger financial gain. 1t appears
that the smaller applications of sim
gle fertilizers-manure, compost and
commercial fertilizers-have given in
general no less an increase than the
larger amounts. The increase OBJ
tanned from the more productive soils
based upon the yields of unfertilized
plants appears to be no less than
from the less productive soils, indi-
eating unequal increase in crop from
the same quantity of fertilizers used
for the good soils as for the less
productive soils.

CITY OF F1NGERLEss WORKERS

Mil Employees Lose Their Digits by
the Dozens.
Probably more fingers are missing
from the hands of mill workers in
Jonesboro than in any other city in
Arkansas, due doubtless to the larger
number of men employed in wood
working plants there.
The latest victim is Jesse Pyle, an
employe of bundle factory, who had
four fingers and his thumb cut off
his right hand This is the third ac-
cident in which fingers were cut of
in a month.

the money, he authorized Alexander

direct the bank to forward to him
the money by registered mail. Hat

ly for the registered letter, but when
1t arrived, on April "a, 1907, he had
left the office only a short time be-
fore to assist an intoxicated friend
who could not sit astride his mule
alone. Hatfield directed Postmaster
Trent to take special care of the let
ter lest it be destroyed by fire in the
postof1ce.
Early on the following morning the
postoffice was destroyed by fire, the
contents of the safe alone being saw
ed. Hatfeld's letter was not in the
safe. Postmaster Trent declared he
had placed the letter with the ordi-
nary mail, all of which was burned.
Postmaster's Confession.
An investigation of the fire and of
the disappearance of the letter was
made by postofice inspectors. 1t was
discovered that Postmaster Trent had
obtained typewriter from a Chicago
concern by fraudulent representa-
lions, to which he confessed. Later
Postmaster Trent and his father were
indicted for having stolen the regis.

ly confessed to the theft and made
preparations looking to the refund
