BULLETIN OF CATTLE FOODS
SOON TO Be ISSUED
Cotton Seed Meal Highly
Recommended

Atlanta, Ga, May 29-State Chem
list R. E. Stallings, working with Pure
Food Inspector P. A. Methvin, has just
delivered to the printer the material
for the annual bulletin on Feeds and
|Foodstuffs which will be delivered in
|ample time to submit to the members
.of the General Assembly. This work
is a compilation of the examinations
land inspections of Chemist Stallings
and Inspector NIethvin since last June
Particular attention has been paid by
these two officials to the condition OF
the cattle feeds on the market with a
view to completely driving out all
.adulterated foods and misbranded food
stuffs offered for sale. Inspector
Methvin has made a number of seiz-
ures and has succeeded in practically
Kidding the state of all impositions on
the market.
During the past few years there has
come decided impetus to the cattle
raising industry throughout the en-
tire South, especially in Georgia. AS
a result there has been a steady and
constantly increasing demand for cot
ton seed meal and hulls which is ac-
knOWledged to be the least expensive
and at the same time best cattle feed
obtainable. On account of the fact
that cotton seed meal--a Southern
grown products so rich in protein
a number of manufacturers have add
ed cotton seed meal to their formulate
with desire to bring up the require
ments for protein to the standard and
have the inspectors pass the mixed feed
as o. X. In many instances these at
tempts are unsuccessful, for while
cotton seed meal in the mixture is all
right, the other ingredients are not,
and the feedstuff is seized and ship
ped out of the state Inspector Meth
vim states he finds a growing demand
all through the state for cotton seed
meal and hUlls and this is an article
of cattle feed easily obtainable at any
oil mill. The new bulletin will be
awaited with interest

The TRIAL OF JOHNSON
ON Charge OF MURDER
Young Man Will Be Placed On
Trial Today

The trial of Amos Johnson, the
young man who is charged with muir
der in the killing of the negro Nc
Lendon here several weeks since, will
be taken up in Superior court today,
but at just what time will be govern
ed by circumstances. 1t is upon to-
days court calendar, however.
The trial, quite likely, will not be
lon gdrawn out, as there are no great
number of witnesses to be examined.
There We're no eye witnesses to the
tragedy, it is understood.
The case hinges largely upon the
statement of the defendant, Mr.. John
son, who AYERS that he shot the ne
gro after the latter had thrown rocks
at him and was about to throw others.
In support of this statement, two
rocks were found by the body later.
Mr.. Johnson will be ably represent
ed and a strong fight made.
The defendant is the young son of
Mr.. Steve R. Johnson, and was reared
here, 1t is said that he had prev
iousIy had trouble with the negro boy,
McLendon, who on a former occasion
may have had something to do to-
threw rocks at Johnson. This fact
wards melting the more recent trou-
BILE.
The case will doubtless consume but
few hours in actual time. Mr.. John
son has been in Jail since his in
dictment by the grand jury.

First Elections in Iowa.

Many interesting facts concerning
local government in early Iowa are
being brought to light by Mr.. Clar-
ence r. Aurner, Research Assistant in
the State Historical society of Iowa
who is preparing history of township
government in Iowa. While he was
delving into the dusty records in the
court house at Dubuque he found no
tice of the first election held in north
eastern Iowa. The election was held
in 1884 in the house of p. A. Lorimier
in what is now the city OF Dubuque
and at three other precincts. At this
time only a narrow strip of land along
the eastern border OF Iowa was sur
veyed and open for settlement, the re-
mainder of what is now the state OF
Iowa being still in the possession OF
the Indians. In 1884 this narrow STRIP
of land, which was known as the Black
Hawk purchase, was attached to the
territory of Michigan for purposes Of
government, and was divided into two
counties, "Du Buque" and""Demoine.'

Court Houses Hold Valuable Records.

All over the state of Iowa in the
county court houses are priceless rec
ords telling the story of settlement and
government in local communities. Mr..
Clarence r. Aurner, Research Assist
ant in the State Historical society OF
Iowa, is. engaged in writing history
of township government in Iowa, ana
in order to secure material for his
work he has visited the court houses
in Burlington, Dubuque, Fort Madison.
Upton, Iowa City, and in number OF
the older counties. Here he has found
records of county officers and boards
of supervisors going away back to the
time from 1884 to 1886 when the peo-
ple of the Iowa country were governed
by the governor and legislature OF the
Territory of Michigan. In most cases
the records were kept in substantially
bound volumes, but in some instances
they were written on loose sheets OF
paper which are now brown and faded
with age. In many counties, however,
the penmanship is of high order'
and so the records are very leglDle.
It behooves county officers to take
great care with their books and papers
in order that they may be preserved
for future generations, for in these rec
ords is to be found much of the most
valuable material for writing the MS
tory of the state.

DEATH OF HELEN CARRIER.
Great White Plague Claims One Of
Denison's Fairest Daughters on
Last Thursday.

On Thursday, November I'd, the
death angel, quietly and tenderly, end
ed the months of suffering, and the
spirit of Helen CARRIER left the frall
body and entered into its eternal re-
ward. 1t was the end of one OF the
saddest, most determined, but most
hopeless struggles against the great
white plague which has brought sor-
row and untimely death to SO many
homes. But few years ago and Helen
was strong, active, healthy girl, am
| bilious, energetic and filled with hope
and confidence in the future. She
graduated from the Denison high
school and passed from the ranks of
the pupils to the ranks of the teachers
of the public schools. 1t was not long,
however, before there were evidences
| of the dread disease. The story OF
how Denison people rallied to her
help; how she was surrounded by the
love of her parents and her friends;
| how she was sent, first to the state
hospital near Iowa City, and then to
the bright sunshine of Tuscon, Ariz;
how, when this proved unavailing, she
was brought back to dear old Deni-
son to meet the inevitable; how her
cheerful, patient spirit never faltered,
never gave up; how the strong arms
of Denisons love and loyalty en-
j compassed her about and made as
bright as possible the last days of the
beautiful young life; how the faithful
mother watched and toiled without
ceasing; how the father gave his days
to work and his nights to tender min
|istrations at her bedside; all these
form chapter of Denison life, filled
with pathos and with tragedy, but re-
plete with such love and heroism and
devotion that it makes one glad and
proud to belong to this community of
friends.
Helen, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
lit. w. CARRIER, was born in Denison on
| September 18, 1886, being but little
more than twenty-five years of age at
the time of her death. She graduated
from the Denison high school in 1905
and later taught school in the country
and at Schleswig. The last two years
of her life were spent in the struggle
with disease. Returning home after a
vain but happy stay in Arizona, she
gradually grew weaker and weaker
until the end came.
Funeral services were held at the
home, Rev. J. H. Senseney delivering
a brief but beautiful and hopeful ad-
Idress. Besides her grief-stricken par
ents, Helen leaves one sister, Mrs.
Irene Onken, to mourn her sad and un'
timely death. The sympathy of the
entire community is with them and
has been with them all through the
brave struggle they have made to
preserve the life of their loved one.
She was one of the brightest, cheer
lest, bravest and best of girls. A low
ing daughter, true and affectionate
friend, kind and capable teacher, an
earnest and conscientious christian
We know that her sweet spirit has
found rest and peace and eternal love
