WILLIAMSON TELLS
HOW TO RAISE CORN
EXPLAINS HIS NEW METHOD OF
PLANTING AND CULTIVATION
TO THE FARMERS OF BUTLER
couNTY-sTuNTS THE STALK.

Greenville, March ESPECIAL THE
news that E. McIver Williamson of
South Carolina, the originator of the Will
hanson method of cultivating corn,
would be in Greenville was sufficient to
attract a large crowd of the farmers of
the county to town. W. H. Seymour and
Mr.. Williamson had an appointment for
10 o'clock yesterday morning, but owing
to the fact that they missed connection in
Montgomery did not get here until the
noon train, and as an appointment had
also been made for Evergreen in the aft
ernoon Mr. Seymour had to go there and
Mr.. Williamson spoke here beginning at l
O'Clock.
After an introduction by Mayor Hami-
ton the speaker for about two hours en-
tertained the house full of farmers ana
few business and professional men, The
speaker is simply a plain farmer-of
course educated-but he talked as farm
er to farmers, and his words made deep
impression on his hearers He told them
that the man who failed to make his
corn was failure as farmer, and would
get poorer every year until he went into
bankruptcy.
He gave his own experience before he
adopted the plan now known all over the
south as his method that is, of stunning
the corn until too late to make a stalk
and then pushing it to make the ear. He
had samples of stalks to which were at
tached very fine ears, when the stalks
were but little larger than the finger
With the small stalk there would be room
for more in the drill, and hence from
three to five times as much corn.
He urged the farmers to build a wall

ARMISTEAD JOINS
BIG AVER COMPANY
J. c. MMICHAEL TO CONTINUE
ADVERTISING AGENCY UNDER
OWN NAME.

From the Atlanta Journal.
W. M. Armistead, one of the leading
advertising men of the south, announces
that he will leave the city in few days
for Philadelphia, where he will join the
soliciting forces of N. w. Aver & Son,
one of the worlds greatest and most eff
cient advertising agencies.
The popular Albanian. whose splendid
work in the advertising line has won for
him national reputation and a promotion
to the great forces Of N. w. Aver & Son.
will remain here few days to wind up
his business affairs, and will then leave
for Philadelphia, where he will spend
several weeks before beginning active
work in the south in his new capacity.
The announcement that Mr.. Armistead
would make this change was given out
by S. Wilbur German, representing N.
w. Aver & Son. who is stopping at the
Piedmont for few days, and who seems
highly elated over his success in secur-
ing the services of Mr.. Armistead for
his firm.
The claim is made that N W. Aver &
Son forwards more New England bust
ness than any Boston agency; that it
places more New York business than any
New York agency; that, excluding liquor
and patent medicine, which classes of
business the Arm does not handle, it does
more southern business than any south
ern agency.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the en-
gaging of Mr. Armistead's services is a
compliment to him and a recognition Of
his unusual merit in the advertising pro-
fession.
The business of Armistead & McMichael,
which has been unusually successful, will
be continued by ]. C. McMichael un-
der his name as successor. There Is not
a more popular or moro highly-respect-
ed advertising man in the south than Mr..
MoAlichaal

DON'T MIND
THE INCONVENIENCE
Street Improvements Tickle
Selma Citizens
GREAT CORN CAMPAIGN
Farm Evangelist Williamson and w.
H. Seymour Will Address Planters
at Selma Next Saturday.
Dangerous Fire.

Selma, March Especial -Such a
sight as Broad street. the principal
thoroughfare of this city, presents at
this time has never before been seen,
even by the proverbial oldest inhab-
liant" The paving contractors have
something like 100 hands at work and
the Selma Water company has about
half that number laying new and
larger main on that thoroughfare. This
nigh impossible, but there is never
heard a kick, the citizens seemingly
being delighted that the paving has
actually commenced and a beautiful
thoroughfare will result when the
work is done. There is movement on
foot to have torn down all the un-
slightly old sheds along Broad street,
and the chances for success seem ex-
ceedingly bright. With the streets
paved and the old sheds torn down,
the occasional visitor to Selma will
hardly know the old town.
The Corn Campaign.
Quite number of farmers have ex-
pressed themeslevs as coming to Selma
Saturday to attend the meeting to be
held by Mr.. Wilkinson of the famous
Williamson Corn Method and w. II.
Seymour. The meeting will begin at
1870 and the Commercial and Indus
trial association of Selma is doing all
in it's power to arouse interest and
secure a large attendance. Many small
negro farmers have been told of the
meeting and will be on hand to learn
how to make two stalks of corn grow
where once one hourished.
Local and Personal. -
Editor w. L. Morris of the Canebrake
Herald, published at Uniontown, was in
Selma today. Mr.. Morris was editor
of paper in Arkansas for some 80
years. He will be given a cordial well
come among the newspaper brethren
as soon as the opportunity presents it
self.
Dangerous Fire.
About noon today fire broke out in
the Keith cottage, on North Church
street, occupied by c. ]. Blanton. The
entire roof was burned off and dam
age amounting to about $4,000 was sus-
tanned. There was q high wind blow
ing and two houses on the opposite
side of the street caught fire from
sparks, but the flames were extin-
guished before damage was done.

BLocToN WANTS SCHOOL.
Hiqh School Commission viii Make
Inspection March II.

Blocton, March Especial. 1.-THE High
school commission, consisting Of Governor
Conner, Auditor Brandon and Superin-
tendent Gunnels. will visit Blocton on
March II to Judge Of the suitability of the
town as a site for the Bibb County E1gh
school.
The citizens are very enthusiastic about
it, and mean to show them that this is the
only logical situation for the school.
All the school children in the Blocton
district will be invited to be present on
that day in order to show the commission
the great number whom the school would
benefit IL located here.
A barbecue dinner will be provided for
the children and afterward baseball
game for their amusement.
1t Is thought that one of the best county
high schools in the state could be start
ed here, owing to the excellent public
schools that have been supported here
for many years. Approximately 600 pupils
are now enrolled in the three schools in
Blocton, beside other schools in the dis
trict which could doubtless furnish as
many more.

Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die

I'm 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. I am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that | ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from it's use"
MRS. T. S. EDWARDS,
Miner, Ga.
This proves what DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to directions.
1t does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty
bottle to your druggist and get
your money back.

MISS ROBERTSON
GIVES RECITAL
BY CHARLES q. CARTER.

Marion, March Especial. monday
evening Miss Bessie Robertson of Laurel,
Miss, was heard in the second of a
series of brilliant piano recttals given at
Judson college this year. She gave in
terpretations of some of the most delight
full compositions in piano literature.
There was much to admire and please
"a good technique, a decided musical
taste and much temperament
The eminently classical selection on the
programme was Mendelssohn's "Andan-
te,'' with variations. Miss Robertson s
conception of this was thoughtful, mu-
steal, and 1mbued with that spirit of re-
finement so characteristic of the com
poser's works.
Roff's Spinning Maiden was given
with nghtness and delicacy. and the
Cradle Song by Hitler was an example
of tonal sweetness.
The three Grieg selections, namely, ITO
Spring" Love Poem" and Norwegian
Dance" were especially to be recon-
mended for the. many artistic qualities
displayed in them.
Poldini's "Babbling Brook and Fro
ticon' (Sojren), together with the mu-
sically interesting waltz by Wieniawski
were given a fine Interpretation.
A charming feature OF the evening was
the singing of Miss Lucille Hightower OF
Hattiesburg, Miss, who has a beauti-
fully clear soprano voice of pleasing
quality and fiexibility. In the several
contrasting songs were revealed much
temperament Especially attractive was
"A June Morning by Willeby, which was
rendered with musical taste.
Miss Robertson was assisted by Miss
Butterheld at the second piano, and gave
a brilliant performance of Hummers "A
Minor Concerto
Miss Butterfield, whose playing is of
exquisite quality and clearness, sustained
the orchestra part in a very artistic
style. The concerto closed recital which
was eminently musical and pleasing.
