DEPARTMENT.

Commissioners Hudson congratulates
Farmers on the Fine Cotton
r. In Year Of 1909.

Atlanta. -The state department Of
agriculture has just issued its yearly
bulletin on commercial fertilizers and
which corps Of clerks
are now kept busy mailing out to the
farmers over the state, and Commits
oner Hudson states that he would be
glad to supply anyone with copy
who will write him.
The book is issued as serial No. So,
and is possibly one of them ost COM
prehensive that has ever been gotten
out by the department before. 1t
contains AZ more pages than any 9TH
er previous issue and the analytical
tables are more carefully gotten up
and more thoroughly worked out than
before.
eve have sold 100000 tans
against about 100000 last year. Next
year, we expect to get the bulletin
out sooner owing to the fact that the
last Legislature provided an appro-
priation for additional chemists to as
sist in the large volume Of work which
we have to do and which is increasing
on u.s."
The book contains copy of the fer
tilizer law, rulings by the commits
sioner interpreting the new law, re-
port of the state chemist and several
pages of remarks by the commission
er which are exceedingly interesting
reading to the agriculturalist.
In the lead of these remarks the
commissioner says:
ut is pleasure to congratulate
the farmers of Georgia on the cotton
year of 1909, tne best that Georgia
has ever known, so far as The money
value of the cotton crop is concerned,
which according to the government re-
port, published on June Is, 1910,
erached the splendid total of $148,040,-
900, of which amount S125,770,O00
came from the lint and $22,27O,O00
from the cotton seed.
The value of the entire cotton crop
of the IL cotton producing states was
1912, 900 900 of which $6SS,350 900 was
from the lint, while the cotton seed
brought s123,740,OOO. Georgia's worth
was nearly one-ffth of that of the
entire crop of the cotton states. Ac-
cording to Testers. report, issued
August 81, 1911, the value of the lint
cotton, UP to that time was $77S,.
S94,095 and of the cotton seed $123,-
100000 total of $9O2,634,095. Es-
timating Georgia's proportion of the
additional amount at the same figure,
enarly one-flfth, the value of her en-
tire crop, including the cotton seed,
for the year ending August 81, 1910,
closely approximates $177,OOO,OOO.

GROWERS OF TOBACCO
OUT WITH SYNDICATE

Characterization between local
tobacco growers and the tobacco syn
dicate are growing strained and there
is considerable feeling over the stu
alton mere. One day this week at
meeting Of farmers, newspaper men,
lawyers and bankers at Attapulgus an
association was formed for the pur-
pose of amicably adjusting the diff
ferences between the growers and the
syndicate, if possible.
1t is not generally understood, but
it is fact nevertheless that condi-
lions similar to those in the tobacco
growing sections of Kentucky and
Tennessee exist now in parts Of Geor.
gia and Florida.
Rumors come of barns being burn.
ed and tobacco destroyed. So far this
has been the only sort of violence
reported and it is hoped that the or
ganization formed at Attapulgus will
prevent anything of this or of more
serious nature in the future.
A committee Of representative busi-
ness men of Macon will go again at
ter the railway officials of the lines
touching Macon with view OF secur-
ing their attention upon some plans
for depot Improvements. A fair effort
will be made to convince the railway
officials both of the Central and the
Southern that there is great need OF
a union passenger station here. There
are other lines that will have to be
consulted, but it is believed that their
agreements will be easily reached.
The committee has been named.
Now that Atlanta has secured the
next National convention on Good
Roads it will be necessary to raise
$4,000 as expenses. 1t was announc-
ed that no attempt would be made to
secure the money necessary until af-
ter the adjournment of the Conserva-
ton congress.
Atlanta politics are at fever heat.
Supporters of both VIM and Wood
ward, candidates for mayor, are leaV.
ing on stone unturned to elect their
elader. While the chances are in IA
vor of Winn, Woodward is making a
strong AEht. - ''

y DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put of the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona
man says: 81
'For years l could not safely eat any
breakfast. / tried various kinds Of
breakfast food. but they were all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. l drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
we're no better, for / found the toast
very constituting.
"a friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. / shall never regret taking
his advice. began using them three
months ago.
THE change they have worked In
me is wonderful. now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and l never have

When Willie goes to school next

The new teacher will like Willie
when she begins to know him, but the
process may take several terms.
Willie's teacher began to like him
just before the close Of the school
year, and she testified to her affection
by Offering him pocketknife.
"There, Willie" she said, you have
tried so hard to be good boy that

horsemen will see it that way-is a

deeply rooted conviction that races
over long routes are the contests be-

seven furlongs.
Mr.. Ryan believes that under pres

short that an advantage gained at the

and he never got over 1t. Because he
would not risk $500 he lost a player
whom he could easily have sold for
$4,000. Finn never told the story on

With the scout system In vogue by

hard for a good player to escape the
clutches Of the major baseball organi-
zation magnates. But here are .
couple Of fan yarns" that show how
two Of the present day stars were
overlooked for short time.
Larry Lajoie was in the New Eng
land territory right under the eyes
Of tho deceased great manager. Frank
eelee. and although everybody touted
La3oie of to selee. the latter failed
10 got his man. Selee could have had
him easily enough. He had IN option
on bis man. He knew perfectly we'll
that the Philadelphia club was after
Lajoie, and he knew exactly what price
was out on Lajoie. It was $500. with
Phil 0eier thrown In to boot. When
It was put up to selee to boost this
price he refused to do 10 and said:
Let them have him." ana 20 the
greatest second baseman Of his day
and one Of the greatest ball players Of
all time went to Philadelphia to load
tho Golfers Of Messrs. Reach and Rog'
ers. Like other National league mag.
mates these magnates failed to meet
the offers that Lajoie received when
the American league started opera
lions, and thereby lost their man,
whereas had Lajoie been kept by the
Philadelphia club the Athletics could
not have secured the prestige that b.
came theirs.
Boston picked up iris Speaker from
the Cleburne club Of the Texas league.
but he did not look good to Jim Ma
guire. who offered him to Mike Finn.
the Little Rock manager. Boston
wanted $500 for Speaker. but Finn
could not SEQ this At all, and said he
would borrow the man for a year. So
Speaker was sent down to Little Rock.
Finn put him to work and forgot all
about having him sign . contract,
thinking 1t the time that Boston had
him tied up. The Boston club thought
all the time that Little Rock had
signed him up Immediately. and the
consequence was that Speaker played
for nearly a month with Little Rock
and under contract to no one.
Finn finally woke up to this fact
and showed a contract at Speaker
which the youngster signed without
any trouble. He was absolutely free
agent at the time and could have
signed where he pleased, but he did
not know 1t. Had he known this and
been as we'll known then as he is now
he probably would have had every ma

Freeholders Claim Asylum Con-
tract Has Not Been Fulfilled.

Until certain repairs have been made
at the Hospital for the Insane at Over
brook, Richard E. Hennighan, the gen
eral contractor of the group of build
ings that have been so much in the
public eye recently, will have to wait
for the $4,000 that, it is claimed by
him, is due.
The contractor appeared before the
committee on public buildings of the
Board of Freeholders in Overlook yes
terday afternoon and put in his claim.
He expressed surprise at the attitude
of Mr.. Hurd, of Hurd & Sutton, the
architects. when he announced that d
final certificate would not be granted
until the repairs, a list of which was
submitted to the committee, had been
made.
The contractor is under a general
bond for 500, 900, and he explained that
when he furnished the county with this
bond he was led to believ that the
security waas sufficiently big to avoid
any further delay in final settlement.

Physician Roth will examine him.
The would-be bandit was captured

of the boy told the patrolmen the boy

shooting, the protectors of the law,
after a little scouting" managed to
corner the "westerner' and relieve him
of his armament, which consisted of a
large 3S-calibre revolver. He was k
to the police station and put through

Where were you going with that
gum" asked Brex.
II was going out West, and needed
the gun to plug any guy that was
looking for trouble" said the "des-
perado."
THE place for a boy like you is in
the reformatory,' he was told.
Gee, they couldn't keep me in one
of those places. l was in one Of those
places once, but l escaped, and a do
it again"
Gle then explained that he had es-
capped from the Jamesburg reformatory
about two years ago. His present in
tention was to go West On the

Jaw, go on I'd pulled it on those

chance"
You're pretty fresh. for a boy.%

"Id plug you; too. If I had the gun"
