GASOLINE ONE CENT A GALLON.
Monticello, N. ", Is just Now the
Paradise of Automobiles.

Monticello, N. Y, is the paradise
of automobilists these days. Deal
ers in gasoline there are in the midst
of a spirited war of cut rates. The
wholesale price of gasoline at Mon
ticello is 13 cents a gallon but the
dealers have hammered the price
down to one cent, and the predic-
ton is that, unless compromise IS
reached quickly, consumers will be
given bonus to take the stuff This
reminds us of the time, some years
back, when street car fares in Sa-
vannah were hammered down to one
cent, and when a person could ride
half a day for a nickel But that
sort Of thing didn't last very long
The time soon came when the old
order was established. SO it will be
at Monticello, and then the "ulti-
mate consumer" will have to make up
the loss

THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
High Cost of Living No Hindrance
to These Two Immigrants.


to These Two Immigrants.
A great deal of late has been said
in regard to the cost of living. Com
plants without number have arisen
from the multitude of American
workers and discomfort has been reg
istered to a high degree. The cost
of living seems to be one of the most
perpleXing questions of the hour, and
it is not only amusing but even as
tOnishing to note how in the midst
of all the expensive living hubbub
two unassuming immigrants in their
own simple way have unconsciously
offered a solution of this veXing prob
lem.
BY name these two immigrants ara
John Nimka and William Bochenko.
They are Polish and on their arrival
had barely enough money to gain adj
mission into the country and no def
mite plans for the future other thar
that they intended to work
They landed in New York, but
their destination was New England,
where the trail of those who had
gone before already led to every cot
ton and wooden mill in the six states;
and in one of these factories each
found employment at 5 a week. For
nine years their highest wage was
$3.50, though in the tenth year of
their stay they were able to make
SO in another department. And in
that year they gave notice to their
Overseer one day that they were go
ing to quit work and go back to their
own country; and their joint savings.
when they drew them from the banks
where they had been earning inter
est, amounted to $500.
In the manufacturing town where
these men had gained what was to
them a fortune there lived yankee
! in the house where his father and
grandfather had been born. The ma
| tive born had an income of SIS a
| week when Nimka and Bochenko ar
rived in town in search of employ
ment, and at the end of the ten years
it had increased to SIG. Yet aside
] from a small insurance policy thai
/ he kept paid up the yankee had not
a cent to show for his labors when
the Polanders drew their money
! from the savings banks; and he hal
worked industriously all the time,
and had practiced frUg2lity with his
small family.

THE DOVE OF PEACE HAS LIT
THERE'S NO SPLIT IN RANKS OF
THE FARMERS UNION.
No Action Was Taken on Watson's
Charges. A. Cabaniss Is New
State President

UNION CITY, Ga.-Peace and
harmony once more reign in the
ranks of the Georgia Farmers Union,
which has just held its annual con-
vention here. This was brought
about as the result of the retirement
from the race of President John Lee,
although his friends claimed he had
1870 of 1872 votes in the convention.
This action was decided on in eau
Gus, and the nomination of A. Caba-
Miss of MaXeys, Oglethorpe county,
for president by w. c. Coleman of
Cedartown almost swept the conven-
ton off it's feet. Delegates sprang
up all over the hall to second the
nomination, and among those second
ing was John Lee, retiring president.
This action followed the conclusion
of the investigation of the charges
against President Lee of mismahage-
ment, including the revoking of char
tiers of several local Unions, as a re-
suit of which Lee was completely eX-
onerated. When the unanimous cleo
ton of Mr.. Cabaniss was announced
the convention broke into song, rem
dering the doXology and other hymns.
During the meeting, it is reported,
there came near being scrap be-
tween Charlie McGregor of Warren

pour of Rain.

GRIFFIN, Ga.-There are no
bounds to Cupid's jurisdiction. He
is everywhere, even under broken
down autos. He's right on the job
at any moment, and has no regard
for the weather. Rain cuts no ice
with the little love god. All these
things and few others were proven
true Sunday afternoon when the
work of the proyerbial messenger of
love got the best of Miss Mollie Anna
Duke and Mr.. Arthur Reid. They
were married right in the middle of
the road and "hit er raining. .
The nuptial ceremony was performed
by Rev. Carmichael while the happy
pair stood up in a broken auto.
Mr.. Reid was returning from Or
chard Hill late yesterday afternoon
bringing his wife-tO-be to Griffin in
an automobile. When the speeding
car reached the Spalding mills one
of the tires received a puncture
Not knowing how long it would take
to mend the tire, and not being will
ing to take chances, they decided to
tie up right there. The breakdown
occurred in a very convenient spot
only few hundred yards from the
home of Rev. Carmichael. 1t took
a messenger only a few minutes to
summon the divine, and while a me-
chanic was busy on the tire the
preacher got busy with the deter
mined couple.

BIG DAY AT THE PLAINS.
Cornerstone of Methodist Church
Laid With Masonic Ceremonies.

IIaiu with Masonic ceremonies
The cornerstone of the new Meth
odist church building at Plains was
laid on the 18th inst. by the Most
Worshipful Henry Banks, Grand
Master of Masons for the state of
| Georgia, ably assisted by other noted
Masons, with the usual Masonic cere-
monies. which were beautiful as well
as impressive. There was a large
appreciative audience in attendance.
After the wOrshipful grand master
had made proclamation that the cor
nerstone had been laid in ample and
ancient form, followed by the closing
prayer by the grand chaplain, the
orator of the day, Rev. o. B. Chester,
of Americas, was then introduced by
Grand Master Banks in a few we'll
timed remarks.
Rev Chester entertained his hear
ers for an hour reciting a great many
noted facts in connection with Ma
sOnry from its foundation down to
the present time. He also gave a
very comprehensive account of the
rise and progress of Methodism from
the time John Wesley preached the
HeulOIdDle S6IuuOu SIduulIS upon MS
fathers tombstone down to the pres
ent era laying particular stress that
it is through the medium and influ-
ence of the church that the country
is to be redeemed and saved from
destruction, and that the churches
now dotting our land over are stand
ing as monuments to the heroes of
the cross.
At the conclusion of the address
Mr.. J. A. Mcdonald announced that
dinner was ready, and all present
were cordially invited to remain and
partake of this sumptuous feast,
which was enjoyed. The entire town
of Plains and adjacent country turn
ed out en- masse to honor the occa-

ELECTRICITY TO HURRY CROP
WILL STRING WIRES FROM DYN-
AMO OVER HIS FIELDS.
Farmer Near New York Will Employ
the German Invention to Get
EarIy Yield.

NEW YORK-"Judg Williams
new electric farm will not be ready
for operation before August LIST,
said MIR. LONE, the judges secretary,
in his Park Row office, referring to
the newest agricultural experiment
to be made in America.
Thomas H. Williams was judge
for ten years of the fourth municipal
court in Brooklyn. Recently he re-
tired, and as farming has always
been a hobby of his he bought two
acres of land at BeIcres,, near North
port. L. l., on which he could raise
vegetables and fruits.
About two years ago the judge
commenced corresponding with some
German scientific farmers" said Mr..
Lone, who were experimenting with
electricity in connection with the
growth Of vegetables and fruits.
Their efforts were most successful,
and they interested the Judge to such
an extent that he decided to make
experiments Of his own, and the pres
ent farm is a result.
New to American Farm.
1T will be the first time that cleo
trio farming has ever been tried in
America by any individual. The ag-
ricultural department at Washington
experimental with it, I am told, two
years ago, with great success, but no
farmers have since then attempted
the new method.
He is at work installing the APP
paratus now, and the farm should be
ready to SOW early in August He
will have to make his first expert /
ments with quickly-growing vegeta- /.
bles, like lettuce, onions or radishes, |
as it will be late in the season.
Judge Williams is using the /
methods introduced by the German .
scientists. Poles are planted u feet /
apart and wires are run from pole to |
pole, not only straight, but cross
cross, about twelve feet from the |
ground. The current is generated /
by dynamo, operated by a wind /
mill. The current sent through is
large in amperage, but small in volt |
age. A certain percentage of the |
electricity, partly by induction and |
partly on account of it's low voltage, /
falls into or is absorbed into the |.
ground beneath and has its effect on
the plants.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-07-27
Electricity Is Stored.

There is storage battery in con
nectiOn with the dynamo, and a GER
tain amount of the electricity gener-
ated is stored up in this. The dyna-
mo works constantly, and its effect
upon the development of seeds and
the growth of plants is said to be
very great.
The initial cost of the apparatus,
the poles, the wires, the dynamo and
the windmill is considerable. But
after that the expense is scarcely
mentiOnable, with the exception of
what wear there may be on the ap-
paratus.
The German scientists, whom
Judge Williams has been consulting,
experimental near Dresden, but two
market gardeners near Berlin have
used the results of their work sue
cessfully. They say that fruits and
vegetables mature three or four
weeks earlier as a result of the sys-
TEN. These two farms furnish fruits
and vegetables for two of the best
shops in Berlin, and are able to get
produce there much ahead of the
regular season"
