All Those Convicted As Blind
Tigers Are Given Jail
Sentences.

Dawson, Ga-After busy session
of nearly two weeks, taken up with
the disposition of criminal business
the adjoining term of Terrell superior
court came to close Friday even
ing, and Judge Worriil returned to
his home Saturday morning.
A large number of criminal cases
were tried at this adjourned term,
and verdict of guilty we're rendered
in most of them. Several convict
ions were had of persons charged
with selling whisky, one of them be-
ing a white man, and in every in
stance Judge Worrill imposed a
straight sentence of twelve months
in the changing, without the priv
ilege of paying any fine whatever.
During the present term of this
court there were found by the grand
jury an unusually large number of
indictments; and, while many cases
have been finally determined, yet
there is a gOod-siZed criminal docket
awaiting disposition by the court at
the next regular term in November.

Col. Pendleton Tells Why
He Did Not Have The Vote

Hon. Hopper Alexander spoke to
me on the floor of the convention
hall before the convention was called
to order about the official vote" |
said to him, that about one-half OF
the county chairman had forwarded
to me the official vote" of their
respective counties, which was en-
tirely unnecessary, on their part,
under the county unit system. He
asked if Blackburn had them, and
turned his back and went away be-
fore l finished explaining that it had
ALWAYS been the rule in democratic
conventions, until it was changed in
Georgia comparatively recently (and
it was changed back to the old plan
more recently, for the committee
on credentials to make up official
roll of the convention from certified
credentials sent up by the county
chairmen.
By direction of the state conven-
ton of 1908 the state committee put
it back into the hands of the county
committees to consolidate the vote
in their respective counties, to de-
clare the result in those counties and
to appoint the delegates and certify
them direct to the committee on
credentials of the state convention.
For these very good reasons lhad
no official vote" to deliver to Mr..
Alexander or Mr.. Arnold. If had
held any such important document |
would have delivered it with the
gravel to an authorized officer Of the
convention.

$3.50 A Year Is Minimum Needed.

New York, Sept. 5,-A prelim;-
nary report of a subcommittee of
Mayor Gaynor's congestion commit
tee declares that the low wages paid
workingmen in New York is the chief
cause of the tenement house colees-
ZION. The committee says that $3.50
a year is the minimam upon which a
man. his wife and three children can
live decently in Manhattan But the
everage wage paid in Greater New
York, the committee finds, is about
1923 year.
Even government employees donot
in many cases receive what the COM
mittee considers sufficient to keep
body and soul together
An investigation of the Manhat-
tan postoffice,' the report says,
shows 721 men who receive $500
a year; 1856 men get $500 year and
413 men who are paid $500 year.
James B. Wilson, secretary Of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, stated to the committee that the
average wages paid in normal times
to the four thousand members of b
union are only $500 a year. Non
union machinists receive from $50
to $3.50 day"

Cotton Seed Selection
Treated In Pamphlet
Interesting Document Published
BY United States Department
Of Agriculture.

There has been received by Com
missioner Hudson, of the department
of agriculture, a pamphlet on Gotten
seed selection issued by the United
States department of agriculture at
Washington, which is one of the
most instructive publications gotten
out in months, and which is in tho
rough keeping with the argument
which has been made to Georgia
cotton planters for some time. Spe-
cial stress is lai1 on this pamphlet
on the great benefit to be secured
by the planter who NR, take good
care to see that the seed which are
planted are sound, So taat he may
fare better than his neighbor in the
sale Of these seed each fax. This
pamphlet is especially timely now
that cotton-picking-time is at hand
and when the cotton oil mills of the
south are beginning their fall crush,
the product of which are soon to be
placed on the market. At each meet
ing of the Cotton Seed Crusher Asso-
citation of Georgia for the past five
years interesting papers have been
read along the same line in order
to enthuse the mill men and through
them urge the the farmer to improve
his cotton seed, which forms such
an important item in each years
pamphlet referred to as follows:
The best method of establish Ing
a standard of selection to applied to
auy%barticular field, seed plat or
progeny row Of cotton is to fix
upon groupes of the most uniform
and otherwise desirable plants as
representing the variety in that par
ticular place. The cotton plant is
extremely susceptible to influences
! of soil and climate. Each variety
shows wide range of difference
under different condition and the
proportion of degenerate plants
those that make definite changes
away from the characters of the
variety, is also influenced by the con-
ditions under which the plants grow.
In addition to larger and better
crops, farmers who learn the art Of
electing cotton can usually gain an
ADVANTAGE from the sale of seed in
their own localities. Seed grown in
uniform field in the same locality
is likely to be preferred to seed from
a distance. Even a uniform stock
is likely to show numerous varieties
when grown for the first under con-
ditions. Only one variety should be
admitted into the same field or plat.
It is not desirable to increase the
number of varieties in any locality
unless new types showing definite
superiority can ee obtained.

"Work-Day" For Orphans
Saturday, Sept. 24th
One Days Work In Every Year
For Gods Fatherless Ones.

On the last Saturday in September
of each year, many good people give
the proceeds of their days Wok to
some Orphans Home This philan-
thropic movement is known as
Work Day" for Orphans. On the
Sunday following this Work Day,
collections are taken in the churches,
and through this channel the Work
Day" fund, amounting to thousands
of dollars, goes to the respective de-
nominational orphanages one OF
them realizing last year fourteen
thousand dollars on Work Day.
Thus God is answering prayer, draw
ing the hearts Of the people out
more and more toward the orphan
and we believe that the coming
Work Day" will be mere universally
observed than any previous.
The undenominational orphan
ages, that they may have part in
this Work Day" fund, have fallen
upon the plan of appealing to their
friends through the press, to send
us offerings, or to take collections
for us in the stores, railroad shops,
hotels, and private homes.
Let US here call your attention
especially to the Hephzieah Orphan
age, of Macon, Ca, an undenomina-
tional, chartered institution, with no
financial backing.
The children are well fed, clothed,
taught, and trained, as if the man.
ayers, workers, teachers, etc, receiv-
ed salaries for their services. We
are all living on a plane with the
children, and we come asking you tC
encourage us in our labor Of love
by sending an offering, Or writing
us for printed subscription list, anC
taking collection for us on or be-
fore Work Day"
While God is making the Hephzi
bah Orphanage a blessing to many
needy little ones, our hearts are made
sad on account of the great number
that we have to turn away, "dia
monds in the rough, that must re.
main down in the dark mines of pow.
erty, degradation and sin, because
there is no room for them.
If all who read this will givS what
they can, even though it be with
some only a few cents, we would be
relieved of all indebtedness and have
means to supply our needs for inn
provements and room.
Rally to our help at once, thereby
enabling. us to make more than a
hundred little ones comfortable and
happy through the coming winter
Yours for the friendless children,
