Cotton Samples To
Cost SIS Per Set.

This week the department of
agriculture has announced that
it is prepared to supply the nine
official grades of white American
cotton recently promulgated by the
secretary of agriculture. The grades
will be furnished for $35 a set, the
cost of their preparation as required
by law. The sale is begun in accor-
dance with the recommendation of
the committee of cotton experts
upon whose advice the grades were
established, that they be issued for
general use during the crop season
of 1901.
The official grades are deliberately
prepared and the integrity of each
type is attested by a full-sized pho
secured in the box cover
es4nd bearing the signature of the
secretary and the seal of the depart
ment of agriculture. The permen-
ancy of the standard is to be secured
by the preservation of twenty-five
in vacuum to be opened as occasion
may demand for purposes of COM
parison.
Numerous letters approving the
official grades have been received
from prominent American cotton
interests. Prominent members of
foreign exchanges who have seen
the types have also expressed them
selves in terms Of high commenda-
ton.
The local buyers will probably
arrange for the official samples. We
have export firms here doing large
enough business to own a set but
what would be of more advantage
to the Fitzgerald market, which by
the way, is one ofbest, would be the
purchase of a set for the benefit of
any body and every body interested
in grading of cotton.

of money is required with which to
begin the business, and returns begin
to come in a few months after it is
started. The SOW is a rapid produc-
er. Money is turned over rapidly.
With S125 invested in one boar and
five to eight sows it is easily posi-
BILE to have for sale from 5000 to
5000 pounds of pork, live weight,
in a wear. In other words, the yearly
sales should be from two to four
times the amount of the investment.

The One Session Plan.

After our last short article, we
thought the question of one session
and two sessions had been argued
finally, but, as some of the two SEES
sioners" insist on saying unkind
things of our Georgia School System
while enjoying the benefits of the
same-we feel compelled, as those
deeply interested, to say that the
Georgia schools are managed by
most capable men and women, who,
knowing conditions in Georgia, act
accordingly and for the best interests
of the pupils, Notwithstanding Mrs.
Boyd and compulsory education.
Just now, we are not discussing COM
pulsory education. We have never
heard of our Georgia boys being in
the police court, the refOrmatOry, or
the prison cell on account of the one
session. We do not like to think of
them in such connection. We wish
to say further that the graduates
of our Georgia public schools need
have no fears about their education.
AS to voting all over again, we see
no reason for that. All had equal
chances, and those votes of the pa
irons of these schools are just as
fair and legal as those cast for Gov
ern0r Brown and Governor Elect
Hoke Smith. We have published
numerous reasons for the one ses-
sion, and here are more in this issue.
Il will say in reply, that all the
school systems with which | have
been associated have had only one
session, that is, the schools are dis
missed at 200 o'coock, and the
children not allowed to 90 home for
dinner. This system here is just
beginning it's tenth year and the one
session has been in vogue since the
beginning Of the school, | don't be-
leive the parents, teachers or Board
could be induced to try the two ses-
sion plan"
"JNo. T. ALLEN"
Townsville, Ga.
Il endorse unequivocally the one
session school hours for this reason:
1T makes the days work solid
unit. The mind oRce concentrated
on books remains there
w. C. UNDERWOOD.
Quitman, Ga.
About five hours including a re-
cess of about twenty minutes is
about right for the total time chill
dren above the second grade to be
in school daily. For first and Sec
ond grade children, this time should
be shortened thirty or forty minutes.
Personally, favor the single session.
The tendency is towards the single
session, especially in the South
where the afternoons are rather
trying on the health Of children"
"OTIS ASHMoRE,
Savannah, Ga.
In reply to your inquiry, some of
the reasons why | favor one session
day for school are:
/. Teachers and pupils have
better opportunity to prepare all
their work. Every pupil should be
able to make better preparation OF
lessons at home in quiet comfort
able place than in crowded noisy
school room. Teachers must have
opportunity to look over the work
of pupils for proper criticism, etc.
2. Conditions for good health
are greatly enhanced by one session;
and good health is absolutely essen
tial to every child's future welfare.
5. Just the same amount OF work
is accomplished in the schoo[room.
A. One session lessons the cause
for hardness and absence, and hence
is an aid to punctuality.
5. Those who fail in their work
can be helped better after school
when there is only one session"

 Phoenix Republican: Rev. T. R. Stewart of Phoenix, who with his daughter, Mrs. NJ. H. Williams, is spending the summer with relatives in Lps Angeles, has just undergone an operation as result of which Rev. Mir. Stewards only remaining eye was removed. The patient, who is over 90 years of age, has been blind for a number of years. Recently severe pain and inAam- nation in the eyeball made the operation necessary, and the re- moval of the eye imperative. The ordeal was borne by the aged man very well and the phy sicians anti Cipate his return to a normal state of health.

 Douglas International: What will be the longest fence in the world and the longest artificial boundary wall separating nations since the great wall of China, has been ordered built by the United States government to separate this coun. try from Mexico along that portion of the border no: now divided by a river. At first it was understood that the fence would extend along the southern border of the state of California, but when completed will extend to El Paso, a distance Of close to thousand miles from the Pacific ocean and with a five strand, steer.tight barbed wire renee will require nearly five thou sand miles of wire.

the streets. Several accidents have happened and others have been narrowly averted recently by disregard of this we'll known rule, and he chief is going to make the streets safer if it is possible to do so. Since the employment of motorcycle policeman to chase speed violators, that evil, at least upon the principal down town thoroughfares, has been greatly lessened, and now vigorous en- forcement of the "rule of the road" will go still further. The force is not large enough to do all that should be done in this regard, but the officials are vigilant and the goblins'l get you if you don't watch out. So keep to the right and pass to the left, and keep out of police court.
 Benson Press: E. T. Lofgreen comes into Benson with loads of vegetables and melons raised on three quarters of an acre sandy loam land that he rents south of St. David postothce about six miles south of Benson. When seen by The Benson Press today he stated that with two cows and three dozen hens, he and wife and five children have a better living from that garden than he used to make teaching school in winter and working out in summer. He raises common truck, including cabbage, green corn, melons, tomatoes, etc. The tomatoes are of the beefsteak variety. and four of the largest weighed three pounds. There are only six rows 100 feet long, but from these they pick 150 pounds of beautiful tomatoes every other morning. Mir. Lofgreen keeps two pigs to eat the waste, and intends to get an o. 1. c. pig from c. C.. Curran and raise that kind, as he used to know them in Ohio, where he saw one weigh HOO pounds.

MOVING PEACH CROP
Yield About Willard Is Better Than
Last Year and Good Price
Prevails.
Especial to The Observation-Disclosures

Especial 20 The Herald Republican,
Willard, Aug. 1S.-The first shipment
OF alberta peaches this year was made
yesterday. From now until the large
crop Is harvested fruit growers will be
exceptionally busy in gathering and
packing the fruit.
The yield this year is good, as all
the trees have about the right number
or peaches on them and this gives the
Irult chance TO fully mature and an
extra large peach is the result.
The Orchardists have had plenty of
water for irrigation and the quality of
the fruit could not be improved. The
spots noticeable other years, which
were caused by rains, are not present
at all this year. But the Elberta peach
VIII be the most perfect peach this
year that Willard has ever produced.
The Willard Fruit Growers associa-
ton will handle most of the crop from
here and large part Of it will be
shipped TO eastern states. The growers
viii probably receive about fifty cents
per case for the entire crop, but Pres
ident Joseph Hubbard OF the associa-
ton says the price may go consider
ably higher.
The Crawford peach is also being
shipped now. 1t is the yellow freestone,
but il is not as uniform in size nor as
popular as the liberia. The entire
fruit crop in Willard is exceptionally
good this year and the market has also
been good.

TOOK THE LAST CHANCE.
HighWaymRn Secured Good Roll FrOni
Saloon in bingham suburb.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Bingham, Aug. lS.-The Last Chance
saloSn, near COppertOn, was held up
and robbed of about 1925 by a lone
highwayman shortly after 10 o'clock
last night. At the time there were
only three men in the saloon, the bar
tender, a man employed for general
work and one other man who happened
20 be in the resort for the evening.
The hOldup, who is described as a
small man Of slight built. slipped across
the threshold and, with a drawn re-
volver, ordered them 10 line up and
hold up their hands. They submitted,
while he went through the cash regis
ter and relieved the gambling tables,
taking what is estimated 10 be S125 in
all. He then made good his escape.
The Officers were notified at once,
but as yet have been unable to find
any trace of him.
