We have no stronger reason for
Directing to Mr.. Taylor than we
would have had for any other man
to succeed Mr.. Folk right at time
when the latter's service is so niue h
needed by the state, and what we
have said and now say against the
1eal which awarded the Office to an
experienced and untried man is in
depreciation of the methods en-
ployed and in question Of the policy
of putting the states affairs in the
hands of a new man."
This from the Tennessean is
about the cleverest bit OF humor we
have seen since the election, if it is
meant to be taken seriously. If the
paper really means what it says, just
what it thinks about the election of
Luke Lea, its publisher, as senator,
an untried and inexperienced man,
and of doubtful ability, over states
men of known qualification, would
not be fit to print.

E. Mickle, of New Orleans, adju.
tant-general of staff, and Gen.
Clement A. Evans, of Atlanta,

vorable to Macon as the place for
the 1912 reunion.
81 have enjoyed the hospitality
of Macon at a state reunion, and
l know how its people entertain;
and | shall be delighted to have
a general reunion held there" is
an extract from General Mickle's
letter to the local invitation COM
mittee.
Gen. Clement Evans wrote in
part as follows:
What | know is that Macon
is so centrally located, so enthu-
siastically faithful to all the glo-
rious memories of the Confederate
soldiers, so able to do all things
that are required for SUCH an oc-
caSion as a general reunion, that
the immense numbers from all
our country present in 1912 will
have heartfelt qualification in be-
ing present there and witnessing
the great event"
One hundred and fifty leading
citizens of Macon and Central
Georgia will GO to the reunion at
Little Rock in May carrying the
official invitation for the 1912 re-
union and they will be prepared
to make whirl- wind campaign
to secure the event.
Arrangements have been made
for charteriug a train of ten or
twelve sleepers which will be
known as the "Macon 1912 Spe-
cia1." Funds for this train and
an extensive advertising cam
paign have been secured. Within
the past few weeks more than
5000 personally written letters of
invitation have been issued to the
different camp commanders, for
mer officers and veterans. Hun
dreds of favorable replies have

ADVANCE IN JAIL BOARD
BILL STRONGLY OPPOSED

Chattanooga, Feb. 4.-Sheriffs
of the state are waiting anxiously
to see what Gov. Hooper does
with the bill that has been passed
by the legislature, fixing the
compensation for board of priso-
ners to be paid sheriffs at fifty
cents per day instead of forty
cents as at present. The bill was
passed Thursday afternoon, after
one of the strongest Hobbies of
county officials ever known had
been at Nashville. and which,
perhaps, was one of the best or
ganized. The bill orinally asked
for sixty cents per day instead of
forty cents, but a compromise
was effected whereby the compen
sation was fixed at fifty cents.
There is much concern as to
what the governor will do with the
bill. AS the new law means that
the state has to pay ten cents extra
on every prisoner confined in bas-
tile in the state, it is of great i'm
portance to the finances of the
state.
The same law was passed by the
legislature in 1907, and was prompt
ly vetoed by the governor. In his
veto the governor set out that only
two meals were fed prisoners daily,
that students in colleges lived on at
least forty cents per day so far as
meals were concerned in large mess
halls, and that the sheriff was paid
So turnkey on each prisoner, 81 as
the prisoner goes in and 81 as the
prisoner goes out.
Anotner 1act tnat mas Oeen urged
against the passage of the bill is
that, for example, a prisoner goes in
to Jail at 9 o'clock in the morning
and remains only one hour and does
not eat a meal, the sheriff gets forty
cents for his board 3" that day and
81 turnkey.
1t is stated that strong pressure is
being brought to bear with Govern
or Hooper to get him to veto the bill,
though the sheriffs argue that the
cost of living has increased and that
they are entitled to more pay.

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by conStitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling found or imperfect hear
Ing and when it Is entirely closed. deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition., hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Soldiers Home, says the Chronicle OF

Fort Wayne for arraignment before

Frank Berr, bartender, employed
in Hartford City, who is charged with
receiving and selling the stolen goods,
is also in Jail, bond being refused until
the federal authorities have him ar
raigned. An invoice of the supplies in
the quartermaster's department at the
Soldiers Home is being taken to de-
termine the amount of goods stolen.
1t is said Addison had four government

shoes in suit case, when arrested at
Hartford City, when he stepped from

watching him. 1t is said that Addi-
son went to Hartford City frequently
during the last two months, taking
with him suit case containing gov
eminent clothing, exchanging the cloth
ing with Berr, the bartender, for whis-
key. The whiskey would be placed in
the suit case and taken to the Marion
Soldiers Home, where it was sold to
the members of the Home. The off,
GERS of Hartford City are of the opin-
ion that $75 to 800 worth of govern
ment clothing has been exchanged for
whiskey. 1t is impossible for the quar-
termaster to give any estimate of the
amount stolen until the invoice is COM
pleted. Addison is said TO have ad-
mitted to the officers in Hartford City
that he has been stealing the goods
and selling them to Berr in exchange
for whiskey.

The making of an early cotton
crop Is not so important an Item at
present IN South Carolina as it will
become when the boil weevil has
spread over the State.
1t has been found that there is
almost no cotton produced in South
Texas after July 90 when boil wee
wills are abundant in the fields. In
South Carolina August or a few
days later may be safely assumed as
the limit under the same conditions,
consequently the cotton crop will
have to be made before that date.
Can a South Carolina farmer make
a bale Of cotton per acre by August
1st? l feel sure that it can very
easily be done. In 1908 the writer
planted one acre in cotton April 2S,
and by July %, 90 days later, had
fixed beyond the bloom enough hollis
to produce five hundred and twenty
pounds of lint cotton. The cotton
was picked September 8, six weeks
after the 2Sth Of July. 1t requires
from six to seven weeks from the
bloom to the open boil. The making
OF this early crop was accomplished
as follows:
The land was In cow peas in 1907.
In January. 1908, 1t was plowed with
a reversible disc plow to a depth of
eight inches. Fifteen tons Of ma
nure was spread broadcast over the
land and the disc harrow run over
1t. April LIST 1t was laid off In four
foot rows and listed with a one
horse pillow. Later the middles we're
run out, and just before planting a
section harrow u over the land,
The soil was in fine condition when
the planting was done AMI q stand
was secured In a few days. The side
narrow was used at once and subse-
quent shallow civilizations followed
rapidly. No commercial fertilizers
were used.
Nothing unusual or difficult is
needed In making such a CROP. It
consists wholly in the art Of getting
a supply Of decaying matter In the
soil; in preparing a perfect seed
ped, finely pulyerized, firm, and we'll
supplied with available plant food;
planting good seed of q well-bred,
early or medium early variety; plant
Ing the latter part Of April; not
more than one-half bushel Of seed to
the acre and cultivating rapidly to
get an early and quick growth. One
thousand pounds Or more Of a good
fertilizer can be substituted for the
manure In South Carolina. 1t is
easy, and a bale to the acre can be
made before August 1st almost any
year. w, r. Perkins
