VICTIM OF INTOLERANCE
J. CULPEPPER SAYS THAT MoCoRD IN SUFFERING FOR OPINION, IS PRE- EMITTING AN ANCIENT RIGHT
 OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH

No Baptist can afford to be quiet at religious intolerance.
 Every Baptist preacher is e success sion of Paul and you know, Paul got a many fiogging for doing like McCord and every Baptist preacher Is going to speak out in defense of the man who initiates our biggest and most quoted preacher. You just wait till Sunday-and the battle will begin.
 Why, If this intolerance is not "nipp- ed in the bud" our Extra" may make it unlawful for the boys to "cast sheep eyes" at the girls on Sunday or man to kiss his wife on the holy day.
 Ahl we need Baptists at the helm linen who know their right, and knowing. dare maintain"
 If McCord persists in suffering for opinions sake he ought to join the Baptist church.

COLBERT VOTERS WANT REST. Tired of Legislative Sessions and Bus-

Tuscumba, July s1-(Special.)- )-The general opinion prevails in this coun- ty that the majority of the voters of Colbert will oppose the embodiment os prohibition in the Constitution, should the present Legislature declare for Constitutional prohibition. and submit the measure to a vote of the people.
 Statutory prohibition, is working we'll in Colbert. and the voters see no reason for change until the present laws are thoroughly tested, the consensus of opinion being that the present laws will prove as effective and successful as constitutional prohibition.
 The extraordinary session of, the Legislature was considered as unnec essary by a majority of Colbert County voters. and if given an opportunity they would have shown strong opposition to it. The people of this section are tired of so much Legislation, and want e rest-a good, long rest--from agita- tion and business disturbances

Benefits of Humns.

The substance left in the ground
after the fertilizer has decayed is
known as "humus." In order to So
cure the greatest results from the fer
tilizer and to get the largest possible
quantity Of humus, IL Ia necessary that
the soil be moist when the fertilizer
is plowed under. Only small amount
of humus is obtained from the turned
under fertilizer should the ground be
dry.
When the fertilizer is allowed to lie
upon the surface for a period, exposed
to the sun, much good Is lost from
the fact that 1t forms but a small
amount Of humus when plowed under.
Therefore it Is important that the soil
should always be moist when fertilizer
of any kind is plowed under.
LII many ways humus benefits the
soil. In the first place, it makes the
soil lighter as well as looser. This
condition allows good ventilation and
gives a chance for poisonous gases to
escape. The soil does not become over
heated, and, In clay territory, the
ground is lightened, making 1t more
easy to work 1t is equally beneficial
in sandy soil, inasmuch as 1t as

Digging Pnfntoex

The time is near when farmers will
be digging their potatoes, and then is
the time to select the seed for another
year; when hill of nice, smooth po-
tatoes is found, free from scab or rot,
and a goodly number are just the
shape and size wanted for table use,
put them one side. At night gather
them up and put them away for seed
next spring. You will be surprised to
see how you can change the type and
improve them in few years, says a
Vermont contributor to the American
Cultivator, We do this every year,
and, while our townspeople are com
planning Of their potatoes running out
and buying OF us to renew their seed
we are planting potatoes (Green
Mountains) that started from the seed
that was bought for So bushel when
they first came around. If farmers
would take as much psins in selecting
their seed potatoes as they do their
seed corn, we would not hear so much
complaint about potatoes running out.

A. W. GLEASON,
WHY THEY SEE DOUBLE.
Muscles of the Eyeballs of Drunkards
Are Temporarily ParaIyzed

A scientific writer has given his
opinion why drunken men see dou-
BILE. In the first place, it Is essential
that the elevated" party must have
two good eyes. No amount of liquor
would make a one-eyed man see two
halt dollars where only one exists.
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
When we wish to see distinctly we
adjust the eyes by converging them
more OR less so that the image falls
upon the sensitive point of the retina
III the object is too far off to enable
us to get a distinct image in either
eye the eyes are so constructed that
they can bring the object nearer, or
we can, by contracting the eye mus
Giles, bring the retina nearer the lens.
thus getting clear sight of the OBJ
ject.
Both eyes may he moved either up
ward or downward or to the right or
to the left, but it is impossible to d.
rect one of them upward and the 9TH
er downward. If we converge the
eyes so that the two images fall on
the sensitive point of the correspond
ing retinas we get in the brain a
sharp image. If, however from any
cause we are not able TO move the
eyeballs so as to have this image fall
squarely on the retina we see double.
This seeing double can be caused
by temporary or permanent paralysis
Of the muscles of the eyeballs. For
permanent paralysis there may be
any one of several causes Excessive
use of alcohol or tobacco will pro-
duce temporary paralysis. Under the
influence of strong drink the control
ling muscles of the eye, like others
of the body, are not under command,
hence some drunken men stammer In
their speech, others stagger in their
walk and others see double.
