Georgia Recorder suspends Sentence,
and One Dollar Each Is Penalty.

Augusta, Ca, Feb. 15.-"Ill go
Judge Lands one better, and make
the fine $30,00O,0OO," said Recorder
Picquet, imposing sentence upon seven
negroes convicted Of violating the
health ordinance in allowing garbage
to accumulate on their premises. The
fine Of s30.0OO,00O was imposed upon
each of the defendants, a total of
$210,000,000.
Approaching their inability to pay
any such fine-figures within them
selves absolutely beyond their COM
prehension-the negroes sank to the
bench with groans and staring eyes.
They feared that failure to meet the
courts demands in the coin of the
realm meant life servitude in the
penitentiary.
When the uproarious laughter which
the announcement of the courts deci-
sion had subsidized, Recorder Picquet
suspended the sentence upon condi-
ton that each of the defendants de-
post one dollar with the clerk.
The ordinance under which the sen
tence was imposed provides that the
court may impose any fine he sees

ME methods of farming followed
today are made possible only

To-Day are made possible only
by the use of modern labor
saving machinery. The farm
hand Of today needs brains more than
muscles. The ability to handle COM
plicated machine successfully is more
valuable than the power to dc hard
days manual labor.
With the coming Of improved ma
chinery the problem of what to buy
and what to get along without has be-
come serious one. The farmer has
more money tied up in machinery than
in any one thing besides his land.
Having too much machinery Is nearly
as bad as having too little. What is
needed is wise selection.
1t is always we'll to do little figur-
ing before buying new machine. Di-
viding the cost of the implement by
the number Of years it may be reason
ably expected to last will give the
amount that must be charged to de-
probation each year. Add to this an
allowance for repairs. storage and
each years share of the interest, and
you will have the yearly cost Of the
machine. A little further figuring will
show whether the benefit received
from it in year will warrant this
cost
Machinery may be roughly divided
into five classes-tillage, planting. hay
ing, harvesting and miscellaneous. OF
the many tillage implements there are
some that are absolutely necessary on
any farm. Among these are the plows.
For the farmer on quarter section a
sixteen inch riding plow will be all
that is needed for the field work. In
addition it may be well to have q
cheap walking pillow for blowing the
garden, turning out potatoes and for
use in case of an emergency. A gang
pillow requires too many horses to be
practicable on the average 100 acre
farm. On larger farms. where plenty
Of horses are available. gang pillow
| will save the time of an extra man. It
is a good plan to have the pillow sup
piled with two or three moldboards
of different slants. A steep mold
board pulverizes the soil more and for
this reason is good thing to use on
stubble land. On clover sod, however
a longer moldboard should be used in
order to lessen the draft.
One of the most important tillage
implements is the disk No other ma.
chine will pulverize the soil so quick.
ly or thoroughly. The use Of tongue
truck-a small two wheeled arrange.
ment-under the rear end Of the
tongue is Of considerable advantage
in taking the weight off the horses
necks. Solid wheel disks pulverize
the ground more thoroughly than
spaders or getaways.
A good harrow is necessity on any
farm. The flexible type is best for al
conditions, as it gets down into the
hollows and rides over trash better
than will solid frame harrow
Spring tooth harrows, rollers and
weeders all have their special uses
but can hardly be said to be neces
sary on the average quarter section.
Next in order come the cultivators
and there are so many styles Of these
that choosing is difficult matter. The
most important part Of the cultivatol
is the shovels. A happy medium 1.

Coxey Has 1t and Wants a Duty on

Washington, June 1s.-Gen. Jacob
S. Coxey, who with his commonwealth
army was put off the grass of the
capitol grounds some years ago. is
here again. Coxey is no longer a
pIutocrat He owns silver mines he
always has worshipped and gold
mines he used to abhor. More than
that he mines arsenicsa
There is only one real arsenic mine
in this country, according to Coxey. 1t
it near Roanoke, Va. Now, arsenic,
occasionally used for self-destruction,
is o nthe free list. Hence. the pres
ence of Coxey in Washington. He Is
here to storm the battlements of AID
rich for the cause of arsenic. Certain
persons produce arsenic chemically,
not from mines. They can place on
the market an arsenic almost as dead
ly as Coxey brings from the depths of
the earth.
1t is these enterprising persons who
have dragged Coxey from his place in
the ranks of the friends of. the peo-
pie. No longer is he a free trader.
The public calls for > arsenic and
Coxey is willing to please. A duty
of one and one-half cents a pound on
arsenic and the Roanoke mine will
do the rest -
Coxey will submit his claims for
recognition for arsenic to the senate
finance committee He will support
his demand for a duty upon the con-
tention that those who use his arsenic
will use no other brand. He has a
suite of rooms at the New Willard.

At the thirteenth annual convention

ly elected president. This is an honor

Their the association has never held a
meeting west. of st. Louis but through
efforts of Mr.. Gernain, Los Angeles was
selected for the next meeting in 1910.
Mr.. German was born on a farm near
E1lxhern, Wis, in the year 1866, passed
through the grammar and high school
and took course of law under private
tuition. He started his railway career
in 1890 with the special service depart
ment of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad and gradually won promo
ton after promotion until the year 1900,
at which time he was offered, and ac-
copied, a position with his present en-
ployers, the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company. His new duties
required him to devote his entire
time to claims for the legal
department, in which he was
in Chicago. In the year 1902 he was
promoted to the position of chief spec
ial agent for the Santa Fe with head
quarters at Topeka and while fulfilling

1.-THE Sob SQUAD"

Tine son SQUAD.
A governor sat in his office one day,
listening to piteous plea for Glenn
ency from distracted mother and
broken-hearted wife. 1t had been
day full of trying experienceS-the most
nerve-taxing, heart testing. pathetic
experience that comes to an executive
whose heart is attuned to sympathy,
but whose judgment is also alive to the
grave responsibility of his office. Sor-
rowing souls had been Juggling at his
heart strings all day.
And the load had been inexpreSsibly
heavy by reason of the fact that while
the various cases appealed strongly to
his sympathy they had not appealed to
his judgment and he had been COM
PEELED to refuse every appeal that day.
There sat the aged mother, poorly clad,
begging for her boy. Who has ever
measured the heights and depths. the
lengths and breadths of a mothers
love? 1t is the one golden. chain that
links this old world to heaven. And
there sat the wife even more poorly
clad than the aged woman, the tears
glistening in her eyes, On the floor, OBJ
rosy-cheeked little children who knew
not the disgrace with which their faith
er had stained their name. Thanks be
for thatl May they never know.
The governor held in his hand let
ter from the mayor of the town whence
purse had been made up by the citi-
zens there to send them on this mis-
sion of mercy; that they were good.
honest people and that this frail wife
had supported the children and her en-
feebled mother-in-law at the washtub
since the son and husband had been in
prison. Turning from the sad scene to
divert his mind and relieve his feelings
for moment, the governor picked up
a prominent Kansas paper opened it at
the editorial page, and his gaze was
greeted the first thing by smart-Alec
squib concerning his weakness" in
yielding to the appeals of what this
editor called 1.-The sob squad" Turning
again in his revolving chair the official
saw in front of him the squad" all
right and he heard the .tsobs." The
sob squad" was right there, furnish
ing an object lesson for the editorial.
And the poor wife sobbed as she said.
II have suffered more than my hus-
band; won't you please let him come
home to me and the children and to his
good old mother here?" oh, the pathos
of crimei If only the criminals them
selves suffered it wouldn't be so sad,
but how true 1t is that the innocent
ones at home do most of the suffering.
No one, outside official pardon cir
cles. knows all this better than the
bright Kansas editor who referred to
broken-hearted mothers and wives and
the other loved ones as 1.-THE Sob
Squad.' He coined the cruel phrase to
dab the governor. E. w. II.
