Especial Dispatch to The Journal0
CORDELE, Ga, Feb. ALL of the lead
ing farmers of Crisp county are having
telephone lines put into their homes and
the houses Of their overseers. There are
now but few of the principal farmers
Of the county who cannot be reached at
their homes by means of the telephone.
These phones are being maintained by
the farmers themselves and so success
full and convenient have they proven that
nearly all farmers residing in the rural
districts and those residing in the city
with farming interests in the country
are now taking advantage of this means
for keeping in close touch with their
farms and the city. Each community
maintains a main line of wire which
branches off to the various residences
scattered throughout the settlement.
Not only are the farmers of this county
installing phones in their homes, but this
fact is true with nearly all of the south
Georgia farming communities and many
linemen and other telephone employees are
busy putting in new lines extending from
the small towns to farm residences in the
rural districts.

The Leather Industry
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

No other industry has shown greater
strides OF growth during the past %
years than that OF leather making. The
demands OF the individual for leather
products not only have multiplied many
fold. but the list of leather users is beinS
extended with each passing year Leather
follows civilization. and hundreds OF thou
sands Of barbarians are being converted
10 its use each year. The result is
scarcity OF leather-prOducing animals.
They nave not multiplied as rapidly as
the demand for their hides. and the tan
ner is forced to ranssck the world fo-
animals that hitherto were exempt Not
even the fishes of the sea nor the ser
penis OF the forest have escaped the tan
'ner's search. The pOrpoise and the small
whale are in favor. and the boa constric-
tor. the rattIesnake. the cobra and the
viper have not been dangerous enough
TO scare the skin hunter away.
The automobile industry affords one IL
lustratiOn OF the increasing demand for
leather and it's products Ten years age
there were shout 2.0C0 automobiles in use
IN the United States: now there are near
" $4,000. Each Of these machines has
required leather in its construction. and
requires even more in the accessories. The

alias Adam, of the Garden of Eden, is
wearing a suit of clothes today"
For the first time in a solid month
Hammond is clothed in conventional garb
and it took three strong men to get the
suit on him." continued the jailer.
Hammond, il will be remembered, is the
youth who became violently enraged
about a month ago because he couldn't
mail a large turnip in a letter box. After
the futile mailing attempt the young man
decided that he must impress upon the
brow of every lady he CHANGED to meet
the kiss of the redemption" After

a jailer and told the judge that he was
Jesus Christ, but the people wouldn't
realize it,"
When he was bound over to the supe-
rior court, Hammond was taken to the
tower, where he tore his clothing of.
Another suit was forced upon him, but
he wouldn't wear it, so for the past
month he has been sitting in his cell
clothed like Adam of Eden fame.
On Tuesday morning he was called to
the superior court in order that lunacy
papers might be taken out.
A suit of clothes was forced on him,
and held there by the use of straight
jacket.

Deafness is caused by an inafimed condi-

you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when il is entirely closet,
DEAFNESS IS the result, and unless the In

gloves. are not tanned. but tawed. and
millions of eggs are used in this pro-
cess. The finest glove leather comes
from France. The advent of the coal
tar dyes in the coloring of feathers has
proved to be harmful to the leather. 1t
is not as noticeable in glove feathers
however as in book feathers. Bindings
are supposed to last through years and
years. But the aniline dye has proved
so deleterious to the lasting qualities
of leather that the English Library as
ISOLATION has made a careful examina-
ton of the subject. 1t declares that
after all there Is no tanning for book
feathers like that in which sumac is
used in connection with vegetable dyes
A writer for the Smithsonian institu-
ton beautifully expressed the intimate
relationship of leather to the race by
tracing the activities of the savage
woman after her huIter-husband laid

off a sharp flint flake for a knife, and
becomes the first cutler, the real
founder of Sheffield. With this knife
she removes the skin, little dreaming
that she is TO become the patron saint
of all the butchers that shall come after
her. She rolls up the hide, then dresses
it with the brains of the animal, smokes
It, curries it, breaks it with instruments
of stone and bone, and establishes her
reputation as the first tanner and cur
rier. With fingers weary and worn,
with needle of bone and thread of sinew.
and scissors of flint she fashions the
clothes Of her family; and though there
is no sign over the door she becomes
the first tailor and dressmaker. She
fashions the moccasins of her lord and
is the worlds first shoemaker"
