The editor of the Bellows Falls Times
has been doing some preaching of late on
the good advertising that town gets by
doing things that attract favorable atten-
ton, citing the street fair held in that
village last year as an example of achieve
ments that are worth while. The Times
editor is right; it certainly does pay to es-
tablish reputation for accomplishment.
By raising $4,000 toward the location
of textile plant within its limits Brattle-

throughout the state. She is now looked
upon as a community with future-a
town with the greatest amount OF ener-
getic pressure per square inch IN YER
mont. Not long ago two residents OF
Vermont town as large as Brattleboro
were discussing the chances of industrial
expansion that would follow the develop
ment of an enormous water-power nearby.
"Stop and think" said the optimist of the
pair, "what the development of this power
will mean to us. Look what Brattleboro
has done since the Vernon dam was
built" To which the pessimist replied:

and then try to think of any other town
in the state that has sufficient amount
of enterprise to do half as much"

l0WNDES FARMERS
DISCUSS FENCE LAW

vALDosTA. Ca. July H.-soms Of the
leading farmers Of this section are agi-
tating the matter OF calling an election
on the no fence question, and If the cleo
ton is called It is safe to say that II
will carry by a good majority.
South Georgia has never tried the no
fence law, because most of the farmers
have been cattle growers who allowed
their cattle to run in the open woods.
But now splendid farms have been plant
ed where were forests few years ago.
The farmers are learning that they must
take care of their cattle and improve
them IL they raise cattle at ALL so more
attention will be paid to pastures in fu-
ture
The matter has been agitated here for
several months, but none OF the farmers
have taken the trouble to petition the
ordinary to call the election. 1t is said,
however, that this will be done in the
near future and that the election will be
held as soon as 1t can be under the law.

DOES NITRATE OF SODA CAUSE
PELLAGRA?
w. E. Nice, Hogansville Ga, writes
Is nitrate of soda poisonous? Some peo-
pie think that corn and wheat that had
nitrate of soda used in raising them
cause pellagra. Farmers are using a lot
of it In this section and pellagra seems
to be on the increase. What is your
opinion of 1t.
Nitrate of soda is not poisonous to
farm crops. and win in no way affect
corn or wheat unfavorably 1t has nc
relation whatever to pellagra, and any
one who is of that opinion simply has
q mistaken notion of the whole propo-
sition. Pellagra seems to be due to a
specific bacterial development. accord
ing to Investigations made in Italy, and
in so far as I know, these experiments
have stood the test Of time successfully
and are accepted by all good medical
practitioners as the final word on this
subject. Not being q physician / do not
pretend to pass judgment on matters
OF this kind, but l am positive that the
use Of nitrate of soda as top dressing
or in fertilizer will not affect corn
or other farm crops injuriously and has
no relation to pellagra
THE TERM POINT" ON COTTON
QUOTATIONS..
H. @. G., Baxley, Ca, writes: VIII you
please inform me what the term point
means in cotton quotations?
In buying cotton the term point is RAJ
ted at 1-10O of a cent. In other words, If
cotton were on or off ten points, 1t
would mean a change in price of bio
of a cent. II cotton were to gain 25
points it would advance IA of cent,
or If there was a decline of IS points it
would mean loss of Ia Of cent.

Free Exhibition TO Be Given
at Gun Club Grounds
by Topperweins.

: Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Toperwien,
of,san Antonio, Tex, Will treat the
people OF Glarksburg to an exhibl-
ton of fancy shooting with shot
gun, rife, pistol and revolver, next
Tuesday.
Through the efforts of John TIaw-
kins, MT. and Mrs. Topperwein have
been engaged for this date and viii
appear on the grounds Of the
Clarksburg Gun CLUB, on the farm
of uames b. Supler at p. M.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of this remarkable couple, who are
said to be the finest shots with rife
and revolver, not only In the United
states but in the world. One can
not form any idea of the wonderful
things that can be done with ire
arms from mere description Of their
tricks. but must actually see them
perform, in order to be fully con-
WINGED that what has been told OF
their achievements is absolutely
true, and even to a greater extent
than imagined.
Ladies are especially urged to
witness the astonishing Skin Win
which Mrs. Topperwein uses the
rife and revilver. as some of her
feats are of such a nature that ex-
merit ..men shots hesitate to at
tempt.
This is one OF the opportunities OF
life time for this couple, in all
probability, will not perform here
again and it Is urged that all who
are at all interested should not miss
this chance to witness a perform
ance that their money will not per-
NIT them to see very soon again.
Mr.. and Mrs. Topperwein viii
come here as guests of the clarks-
burg Gun Club, and the exhibition
they are to give will be absolutely
free. It is hoped that people of
the city will show their appreciation
by turning out in force, as the
couple will not likely be here again
