new GAME LAW OF
GEORGIA RULED ON
Allen Killed Ducks in South
Carolina

Savannah, Ga, December 22-Judge
Davis Freeman, of the City court OF
Savannah, is probably the first judge
of the state to decide the contested
point in the new state game law rel
ative to the having in this state of
game that is under the ban, although
that game was killed in another
state.
This court holds in the case of the
state against r. Ward Allen that the
law has been violated, although Mr..
Allen killed the summer ducks in
South Carolina, the act of having
theb in Georgia constitutes a viola
ton of the general purview of the
legislators when the statute was
framed. Mr.. ALLEN was fined $40.
eMsssrs. Twiggs and Gazan, coun-
sci for Mr.. Allen will carry the case
to the state court of appeals to have
the final testing there. When the
case goes from Chatham it will be
the first under the new statute to be
appealed

.MATURED COTTON in
WITHIN NINETY DAYS
At Stewart County Experiment
Farm

Atlanta, Ga, December 23.-Ninety
days from the day of planting to
picking cotton is the remarkable re-
cord which has been achieved upon
an experimental farm in Stewart
county, operated under the direction
of DR.. E. L. Worsham, state ento-
mologist. DR.. Worsham states that
in addition to having his cotton ma
ture in this record-breaking time it
is also a resistent to the ravages OF
the black root disease, so common
and so costly throughout Georgia. He
states that this record was made after
three years of experimenting, and
now he feels confident that the de-
Lartment has secured a cotton seed
which will mature in this short space
Of time and which will be resistent
also.
Between four and five hundred
pounds of commercial Fertilizer to
the acre were used in producing this
splendid result. DR.. Worsham states
that through the use of large guam
titles of commercial fertilizer and
attentive cultivation, similar results
can be secured throughout Georgia.
In this way both the boil weevil and
the black root would be avoided. 1t

has been found that it is the late va
rieties of cotton that suffer greatest
from the boil weevil. Georgia during
the past season has increased the use
of commercial fertilizer over II per
cent. above any previous year and
the indications are that more COM
mercial fertilizer will be used in this
state during 1912 than in its history.
The record breaking crops of cotton,
corn, grain and vegetables produced
in Georgia during 1911 bear splen-
did evidence of the fact that fertilizer
means more than anything else to-
ward securing successful crops.

just need of it. Such cases are re-
fused when investigation has shown
them unworthy.
The principle upon which the work
is conducted by the Benevolent So
ciety is the same as that in use by
the Associated Charities organiza-
tions of the larger cities, where the
guiding principle is to assist the
needy to help themselves and not To
render them aid in such a way as to
make them permanently dependent
upon charity. For instance, when a
needy person is sick they are not Civ
en- money but medical attention, food
and such other things as are neces-
sary and will really relieve their suf-
ferings.
There is still sufficient time left
for all who wish to contribute to DO
so, as today will be an especially
appropriate day to give to such
worthy cause. Contributions may be
given to either Mrs. Robert L. May
na1d or Mrs, Fred B. Arthur, with
perfect assurance that they will be
used to bring Christmas cheer to
many chld's heart and relieve the
wants of the reedy people of the
city. Nothing is needed by poor
families more this weather than
wood or coal for fuel, both of whica
are very eXnrns've Every contribu-
tion that can be obtained can be ui-
ed effectively in II is work by no

treasury yesterday afternoon for the

This quarter of a million dollars is
ten per cent. of the total appropria-
ton. With this money the teachers
who depend entirely on state funds
for their salaries, will receive about
80 per cent. of what the state owes
them for this years work. They hope

not IN the history of this section has
E"th IHcr0ulced drouth been ex-
perlenced as was known here last
spring, when many farmers were
con PEELED to haul water for the use
Of themselves and their live stock.
The adding of the Windsor hotel 70
the number of large consumers of
water here completed the conditions
which made necessary a larger sup
Fly OF water here during the year
than Ets ever been known before.
It is interesting to note that the
aVe'age daily consumption of water
this year has been 637,226 gallons, as
compared with 541 500 gallons for
last yelr. The monthly average con-
sumption is l9,3S2,289 as compared
with l6,o46,4lO gallons for last year,
while the daily consumption of wa
ter per capita this year is Is, COM
Jared with 64 gallons for the prev
ious year.
From this it may readily be seen
that the people of Americus believe
in using water, no matter how large
lie orders for booze from Jackson
Vile and other wet" spots may be.
in this connection it has been point
ID out that the improvements just
3egun for the water works are, in

BEAR TREED HUBBY,
Wife shot IT
A Thrilling Jar to q Maine
Mans Nerves

Bangor, Maine, Dec. 23.-F. c. Har-
vey, a lawyer, living at Tenatiy, N. j.,
who with his wife has been at Ber-
rvs camps at Yoke Pond, started over
Boradsman Mountain, on his way to
the railroad station. Mrs Harvey
made a later start, carrying her hus-
bands rife.
Near the top of the mountain Har-
vey encountered a she bear in the
trail. The animal charged furiously
and Harvey who was unarmed, took
to spruce tree.
In his haste he dropped his NIT
tens. The bear showed no signs OF
lyeaving, and at the end of two hours
Harvey's hands were badly frostbit-
ten. Fearing that he could hold on
but little longer, he strapped himself
to limb with his belt.
The bear scented Mrs. Harvey as
she came along the trail near noon
and her husband shouted warning
as the animal started for her Mrs
Harvey, who is an expert shot, stop
ped the bear with the second bullet
when it was within 10 feet of her.
Although his hands panied hin
greatly, Harvey with his wife's aiC
succeeded in removing the pelt, al
unusually fine one. 1t will be made
into a rug. This is the third beal
Mrs. Harvey has shot in Maine.
