TERRELL's BIG CORN YIELDS.

From the Macon Telegraph.
In another column of The Tele-
graph today will be found some re-
markable corn yields in Terrell coun-
ty. There the first prize was award
ed the grower of 10 bushels on a
single acre. The corn yield per acre
in Georgia has been raised during
the last eight years. In 1900 the
average was ten bushels per acre
it reached its highest point in 1907,
when it was thirteen, but in 1908 it
stood at 1927 bushels. The farmers
of Georgia are being stimulated to
greater efforts in corn culture by the
prizes being offered in many of the
counties where the grain can be
raised abundantly and profitably. In
IA few years, by a little persistency
we expect to see the farmers of this
state raise crops of corn that will
average up to any other state in the
union.

BILL is ON A TEAR AGAIN.

By this time several citizens had

Bill was on one of his tears he said
he was afeared if he met Bill face

forget that he had the majesty of

after Seth told him it didn't make
any difference if he did; so Seth put
his pistol and handouts into his
pocket and started for the postoffice.
Just as he got there Bill was try
ing to pull up the hitching post out
near the sidewalk. Seth held back
and asked Deacon Leavengood to go
up to Bill and tell him he was under
arrest. The deacon showed Seth
where Bill had pulled out his whis-
kers, and asked Seth why he didn't
tell Bill hisself. While they were ar
guing about it Bill got his eye on
the constable, and made dash for
him. Seth started for home on the

MARRYING FROM NECESSITY
THE PRESIDENT GAVE PARENTS
SOMETHING TO THINK OF.

Has No Property to Leave His Chill
dren, But Will Give Them Edu-
cation and Character.
President Taft gave parents some
thing to think about in his address
the other day before the Mississippi
Girls Industrial School. Said he in
part: II wish that every woman in
the world were so situated that she
should not think it necessary for her
to marry if she doesn't want to. =
/ am glad that l shall not have any
property to leave my boys, of whom
have two, but only a good name
and character and pride in them
selves and a good education; but for
my daughter | am going to scrape
together as much as l can give her,
and as good an education as | can,
so that she shall marry only when
she chooses, and not because of cir
cumstances."
Under the custom which we in
herited from England it is the rule
to give preference to the sons, and
practically the lions share to the
eldest son. The girls are required
to give way to the boys, to make
sacrifices for them, to work for them
and to accept of the family property
anything that may be left over that
the eldest son and his brothers do
not want There are individual ex-
ceptfons, of course, but that is the
rule. 1t is relic of feudalism and
a survival of the royal scheme of
entailment.
President Taft's plan is based on
affection and hard common sense.
He is going to leave his estate in
the hands where it is most needed
those of his daughter. He will equip
his sons to take care of themselves,
and will expect them to do it after
the manner of manly men. That
will be doing them full justice. His
daughter he means to place in an
Independent position, so that she
may follow the dictates of her mind
and seek happiness where she will
be most likely to find it.
To many young women marriage
is an absolute necessity, as a means
to a living. They are brought up
with that idea in mind. They must
marry whether they want to or not.
The result is that there are a great
many unhappy marriages, because
the wives have seized upon an ap-
parently good opportunity, when
there was no love or admiration in
the case. If there were no COM
pulsion about marriage, if the girls
were free to follow their own incli-
nations, there probably would be
fewer marriages, but a greater pro-
portion of them would turn out more
happily.

DR.. Thor Moeller was found guilty

The charge against DR.. Moeller was

With the intention. of making his

in Fargo several days and has been
making trips into the country looking
over various pieces of land. His in

family and as he expressed it he want
ed the land as "toy farm"-a place
where his children can be out of doors
and imbibe health and vigor from
the clear air of North Dakota.
Il want to have some place." said
Mr.. VAIL, where l can take my
family and spend couple of months
each summer in the country. A place
where the children can work out in
the open air and from what can see
this is the locality am looking for.
Il first intended to go south and get
a farm, but I do not like the warm
weather so came up here and look
ed over the country and am convinced
that will make no mistake in COM
ing here.
Here is where you get money out
of the soil and the place is certainly
n source of wealth and when get
back to Duluth am going to try to
get the jobbers of that city to look
into the matter Of covering this ter
ritory. One thing I have been sur
prised at is that few people in this
country know much about Duluth-all
is st. Paul and Minneapolis, and I
want to see Fargo and Duluth get on
closer relations, as I believe it would
be of mutual benefit.
II certainly expect to buy farm in
this part of the country and will
probably be in Fargo once in a while

the city,"

INVESTIGATE REYNOLDS GAS.
Missouri Gas Co. Sends Man to Mako
investigation.


The Missouri Gas Co. of St. Joe,
Mo-, is interested in the Reynolds gas
project at Reynolds, N. D., and has q
representative in Grand Forks, Thorn
as Meagher, who, by the way, is a
former Grand Forks resident, looking
up the proposition with a view to
bringing that company to this county
to prepare the natural gas for i'm.
mediate use.
Mr.. Meagher has just installed
plant at Mitchell, S. D., and also at
Deadwood, S. D., with the United Gas
Improvement E. Construction Co., and
states that they have received word
in that section that great possibilities
are in store for the prospector in
Grand Forks county and the gas COM
Ianies are interested in the PROPOSE
tion.
Mr.. Meagher is in the city today to
find out the flow of gas and also learn
what he can relative to the tests that
have been made and tomorrow will
go to Reynolds where he will look
the field over.
The Missouri Gas Co. has the ma
chinery already to place in operation
and will set the drillers at work at the
opening of spring if everything proves
satisfactory and Mr.. Meagher. upon
his investigation made thus far, states
that it will.
The gas discovery means much to
Grand Forks county, and while many
thought that it was only a dream,
still the finding of gas is a revelation
that is bound to advance to materiali-
alton and the flow itself, according to
Meagher, is enough to guarantee great
possibilities.

Wiiliston, N. D.
Williston was to have been the
home of the, Ignite briquette. and
from the proposed briquetting COM
panies the city received much adver-
tising-fame that now detracts be-
cause the briquetting proposition has
fizzled miserably.
Robert L. Stewart came here two
years ago and proposed to erect an
immense plant. He interested the
Commercial club and secured an OPP
ton on land from William Snyder.
But he never took advantage of the
option, and probably three-fourths of
the briquetting stock was sold before
there was a foot of land in the COM
pany's name. The Williston State, a
weekly newspaper. finally asked Stew
art about the lands and buildings and
then the briquetting company pur-
chased the Standard mine, near there.
A few thousand dollars was paid
down and bunch of stock and q
mortgage secured title to the mine,
which had then been practically ex-
hausted. Upon the news of this deal
there was another advance by the
stock distributors. Grand Forks, Far
go and other towns in the eastern
portion Of the state were especially
vulnerable. Some of the shrewdest
business men in these towns bought
stock. Professional men and bankers
went after the stock with enthusiasm.
The people of Williston lost heart
early in the briquetting game. Sew
eral merchants had cashed cheeks for
those who stood high in the company
councils, and the checks had come
back. So the local investors stayed
away.
It was finally announced that the
great day was near at hand, that the
''bricknites" as the briquettes were
to be called, would be manufactured
within fortnight. When the day
came the machine was started, and 1t
is estimated that half bushel of the
briquettes were furnished when a
casting broke. The wheels have never
turned since. That was last year
