as heavily as you have been using

that phosphOric acid is one and the

rock or bone or Thomas phosphate

available in acid phosphate than in
any other form, but if you have the

Fertilizer Formulas and Rational Fertilizer
". F. Massey in Raleigh On O. Progressive Farmer.

Letter after letter is now coming
to me asking for fertilizer formulas
for cotton, for corn, for peanuts,
and all sorts of crops, the idea with
most being that they must have a
formula for every crop planted. l
cannot know the needs of every
mans land from a general descrip-
ton and have no information to ad-
wise a cure-all for every sort of land
and every crop. What is needed more
than fertilizer formulas is a good
rotation of crops and the growing
and feeding of legume forage and
the making of more manure, aided
by the more liberal use of phosphor-
ic acid and potash, while in many
sections the farmer who farms right
will never need to buy anything in
the way of fertilizers except plain
phOsphoric acid. This is the con-
trolling factor in any fertilizer for
mula. But when a man asks me for
formula for corn l am apt to tell
him that the best / know is a Grim
son clover crop on which the farm
manure has been spread in winter
as fast as made That will make
cheaper corn than any fertilizer for
mula | can give. This is especially
true if the manure has about 100
pounds of acid phosphate or floats

GROSSLY MISLEADING.

From the Columbus Ledger.
In a news letter from Atlanta on
the senatorial situation appeared the
following paragraph:
Nearly all the quiet citizens of
Georgia who have no active fac
tiOnal interest in the fight are
opposed to the primary on the
ground that it will cost over
$4,000, and maybe as mucn
as $75,0 900. This would mean
at least $3.50 expense to every
county, and an expense which
is not necessary under the law.
This paragraph is entirely mis-
leading. In the first place, all ex-
penses of primary-state, county
or city-are paid by the candidates
and their friends. This fact is well
known by every citizen of the state
who makes any pretentions at keep
ing posted on public affairs
In the second place, the cost will
never reach $4,000, nor even $780,
600, for such primary, and then
no county will need as much as
$3.50. In Muscogee county, for in
stance, less than 800 would be re-
CURED to hold senatorial primary
and this is among the large counties
of the state.
The Ledger comedies the fact that
the proposed primary, like all 9TH
ers, will be expensive, but we see
no use magnifying the expense &C
count and then making it appear
(for political effect) that the state
must stand for it.

Why They Kill.

From the Americas Times-Recorder.
The Nashville Tennesseean writes
a long editorial on "Why Do Men
Kill Each Other?" Well, in Georgia
we should say that the chief reason
is that they know-if they are white
that they will not be hanged, that
the chances are they will not go
to the penitentiary, and if they do
they will not have to serve more
than a small part of their time. Muir
der is about the cheapest crime we
have in some parts of Georgia.

EXECUTION OF WOMEN.

From the Dublin COurier-Dispatch.
There are many who believe that
Governor Brown should commute
the sentence of the negro girl con-
victed recently of murder at Waynes-
bOrO and sentenced to be hanged.
They base their views on the idea
that she is a woman, and that a
woman should not be hanged. If
there is any doubt about the com
plicity of the girl in the killing her
sentence should be committed for
that reason and not for the reason
that she is a female.
A woman who commits a crime
unsexes herself, and is entitled to
no more consideration than if she
were a, man. If it is right to hang
man it is right to hang a woman
under the same circumstances.
In refusing to commute the SEN
tence of Susan Eberhardt, white
woman, Governor James M. Smith
said:
IF this defendant had sufficient
intelligence, and was of so deprav-
ed a nature as to help Spann kill
his wife, SO that by her death they
might, like David and Bathsheba,
conceal their mutual crime against
her marital rights, she has sufficient
sense, and her living is a sufficient
menace to the peace of the state for
her to suffer the death penalty, and
l shall not Interfere with the de-
ciSion of the court
We think that Governor Smith
summed up the whole matter in the
few words quoted above. They are
our sentiments.

PATRONIzING BLIND TIGERS.

Judge FELTON,, in the superior
court of Bibb county, passing SEN
tence on negro who had been con-
victed on the testimony of three
white men of selling whiskey, stated
that the man who buys whiskay is
practically as guilty as the man who
sells it,, for if there were no buyers
no blind tigers would exist. The
Albany Herald endorses what Judge
FELTON, said, but adds:
When a man buys whiskey
from another who is violating the
law by selling it to him it is
mutually understood to be Sc
cret and confidential transaction,
and if there is such a thing as
honor among thieves the thirsty
fellow who upon his, own motion
becomes a party to an act which
constitutes a fragrant violation Of
the law, and thereby gets his
thirst quenched, must be a sorry
specimen to give away" the one
with whom he made the deal
It's like kissing and telling"
Judge FELTON, and the Herald are
both right, so what is to be done
about it? Why not pass a law max
ing it crime to buy whiskey from
an illegal dealer as well as a crime
to sell it? There could be no reas-
enable objection on the part of the
Iaw-abiding people.

THE PRICE THEY PAY.

From the Griffin News and Sun.
The news of Senator Terrell's con-
dition is a source of great regret to
many GeOrgians. In the stress and
turmoil of partisan politics we are
apt to think bitterly at times of
some of our public men. The fact
remains, however, that most of the
public servants of this state are real
ly honest and sincere men, who are
doing their best in the world. 1t is
getting to be slightly appalling,
however, the price these men are
compelled to pay for their office. 1t
is not that there is 50 much public
work, but the effort to keep up polit-
icaI fences and to remain in office IS
one that demands much time and
saps the nerve force of the men in
high office
Death has lowered over the SEN
ate chamber especially, and in the
midst of profound deliberations up
on the weighty questions that con-
front this august body the futter
of the ebon wings is often heard by
some senator who knows that his
days are numbered.
Meu 40 mol FeaCu LulS nlgn once
in the prime of youth, and the Gull
mination of life's ambition has
often been followed by the arrival
of the pale horse to convey senate
rial dignity to the realm of stately
chambered death
Senator Terrell will no doubt re-
cover. God grant that he may. But
there is a lesson and a warning in
his attack that must cause him to
pause in the strenuous work he has
INDUCED in for the past few months.
The human frame cannot endure ev-
erything.

THE LATEST PROPHECY OF WAR

Charles NJ. Schwab, in an inter-
view, predicts that the United States
and Japan will become involved in
war soon, and that the latter will
emerge from it badly beaten.
Mr. Schwab is not altogether un-
biased in his war-like opinion. He
is a manufacturer of armor plate for
fighting ships, and this projectile-
proof covering costs Uncle Sam $500
to $500 ton. There is big profit
in this material, and the bigger our
navy the more there is in it for Mr..
Schwab's steel plant
With a debt today of $1,300,OOO,-
600 and her wage-earning classes
paid ten cents a day the prospect of
another big war is anything but an
alluring proposition for Japan. The
japanese are pulled up with pride
since they caught Russia unawares
and thrashed that country, but they
are far from fools, and no matter
how indignant they may be over
our treatment of their race in
California they are far from being
fools, and will so conduct themselves
as to keep the peace with every ma
ton
