theory Of late planting as a means

Where the plant was benefited by
late planting it was attributable
more to seasonal conditions than to

every farmer to accept and make
use Of it, else but a few more years

remedy is found in seed selection,

BUBONIC PLAGUEIN SPOKANE?
Sixteen Gases and Panic Among the People There Is
Reported by New York Paper

aims and found Judgment in a city
that is a long way from the coast.
If it was brought from the Far East
it naturally would make it's appear
ance first in a coast city.
The bubonic plague created great
alarm in San Francisco in 1907-0S,
and war was carried on against the
rats and squirrels. 1t was believed
that they carried the disease, and
there doesn't seem to be any doubt
that they did. AS a result of that
belief San Francisco and vicinity
were pretty we'll freed of rats and
SQUIRRELS. Doubtless war on these
animals viii be begun in Spokane.
What makes the situation in Spo-
kane particularly alarming is the
apprehension that the disease will
move to be the pneumonia plague
that is carrying death to so many
people in the Manchurian cities. 1t
is to be hoped that there is. after
all, but little ground for the alarm
that is felt on the Pacific coast in
consequence Of the report of the bu-
bonnie plague at Spokane.

One of the reports is that the dis

is creating CONSERVATION in Man

be any ground for it. In fact. the
report of the presence there of the
buoonic plague may be a false
alarm. 1t is difficult to get at the
truth Immediately in cases of this
sort There seems TO be no doubt
that a mysterious disease OF some

THE BLACK ROOT PERIL
BY Eugene Peterson in The Cotton Seed.

The disease of the cotton plant
known as 'black root has been
present in Georgia scarcely a de-
cade. More than twenty years ago,
however, it was kI own to exist in
the long-staple belt Of South Caro-
lima
For some years it was confined to
that district and it was not until
the infected area began to widen
and it's damage to the cotton plant
became so extensive that the farmers
began to take particular notice Of
its presence. From this time many
began to observe the effects of it's
ravages upon the plant, and soon the
work of studying the nature and
cause Of the disease followed Many
were the theories advanced to ae-
count for its origin and the cause
for its occurrence, and numerous
were the remedies introduced and
experimental with to check its
spread and overcome its I8vagss.
Scarcely any OF these, however. had
the effect of materially lessening it's
damage or Of checking its spread.
From the sea islands Of South Car
DINA 1t has gradually spread to
other sections, until many thous-
ands Of acres have become infected,
and the resultant damage is so great
that it may be regarded as great
peril to the upland cotton crop Of
Georgia and Alabama as the boil
weevil has proven in several of the
gulf cotton producing states.
1t has been estimated that the
damage alone to the cotton crop of
Georgia the past two years approx
mates quite 100000. SO men
acing indeed has its presence been
made to appear to. the department
OF agriculture Of Georgia and our
law makers that two successive leg
Islatures have made liberal appro-
priations for the purpose Of pro
Vdlng means and supplying rene
dies to combat its rdvages and les
sen the measure of its damage. The
department Of agriculture of the
united States, through the medium
OF the experts connected wita the
bureau OF plant industry, took the
initiative in making scientific in
curry into the nature of the disease.
and it was Or. Smith, of this bu-
reau, who first gave an accurate
description Of it, and he it was who
worked out the etOlogy and the life
history OF the fungus which causes
it.

HIGH BOILER OAZES ATLANTA
After Leaving a Trail OF Gold He
Disappears With Pretty Man
Tourist and Her Ma.


ATLANTA, Ga-This city has
seen pretty high rollers, both local
products and imports, but recent
visitor from New York, who regis
tered at the Piedmont as A. w. Car
michael, still has the old town gasp
ing.
When Mr.. Carmichael rolled into
the city a short time ago he went to
the hotel and was assigned a room.
He said that wouldn't do and to give
him a floor A compromise was Il
nally reached on a suite Of four Of
the most exclusive apartments in the
house. There was no trouble about
money.
Mr.. Carmichael had it in quanti-
ties to make banker gasp. He had
a suit case or two literally jammed
with bills Of large and small denom-
inatiOn, gold and smaller currency.
There was about $4,000 worth of
perfectly good bonds in the lot, it
is said. And besides this MIR. Car
michael carried a large wallet in his
inside pocket containing, as one rep
utable witness testified, just 1874 ST.
600 gold rtificates-which is going
some in the way of pin" money.
Then Mr.. Carmichael began to sep
arate himself from coin. He left a
golden trail everywhere, and 500
bills were as chaff in his hand.
Strolling into a manicure parlor he
became enamored of the handsome
young woman who made his nails
spotless.
Say, kiddo," remarked the enter
tanning Mr.. Carmichael, what about
little Of the eats with me this eve
ning?"
She demurely stalled on the
ground that she had nothing good
enough to wear out.
'Oh, say, that isn't any bother"
and stripping a 500 bill from a
hefty wad tossed it into her lap Go
buy yourself some things and be
ready for me this evening""
She bought the glad rags, but
when Mr.. Carmichael came around
he was dissatisfied with her show of
Jewelry. So he took her down to
one Of the big concerns and purehas-
ed>a $500 tiara to adorn her brow.
There were other trinkets for her,
too.
There are many other Incidents of
Mr. CaTmichaels visit just whisper
ed about. Then suddenly he van
lshed, and weeping and wailing fol-
lowed in many quarters for the ces-
sation Of the golden stream in his
trail. One thing he did was to or
der $1,000 worth Of clothes at cliD
from local tailors
1t is said the pretty manicurist is
missing, too. RumOr says the couple
have sailed fer Paris
The pretty manicurist who figured
IN the case is Miss Whittimore. II
developed tonight that Miss Whitti-
moTe's mother also went with the
couple, and that they went to Tam
pa from here. Tonight Charles Be-
Isle, who acted as chauffeur for Car
michael while he was in the city, re-
ceived a telegram from him asking
HIM TO meet the party in New York
and accompany them or tour
through Europe. Transportation and
$IOO also came for him. OF course
he will accept the offer.
Carmichael is described bv the
hotel attaches as good looking. of
the blonde type, and about 20 years
old. He was quiet and unassuming,
and apparently interested in nothing
but having a good time.
