There are great bundles of both Jeffs

A PRODUCER OF MUCH WEALTH

graTl ALDEMAR LINDGREN, in his
IRkI "Notes on the Dahlonega
IETs Mines" published as a por-
ton of Bulletin 293, states
that the total production Of gold and
silver in Georgia, from the discovery
of gold near Dahlonega in 1928 to
1900, was between sixteen and
seventeen million dollars, and of this
amount the largest portion was pro-
duced by the mines of Lumpkin
County, in which Dahlonega is sit
uated. The total production of gold
in the Appalachian States from 1900
to 1900 is considered to be $4,000
600. For the last few years the
total annual production has been
about 100000, while the produc-
ton of Georgia has varied from
100000 to $130,O0O, the former fig
ure being recorded in 1903. The
value Of gold and silver mined in
Georgia in 1910 was about $4,000.
1t is an interesting historical fact
that the earlier stamp mills of the
Rockies and the Sierra Nevada were
modelled after the successful mills
first set up and perfected in the
Southern States. The best gold min

HEREDITARY AND ENVIRON
MENT.
MEME.


MENT.
C. T. Young, Matthews, Ga. Dear
Sir: [ see you want to debate
through The JeffePsoniSn. I take it
on what Mr. Watson calls a deep
question, as stated in your letter in
May 4th issue. Now, | am no public
debater, nor the son of one; there
fore you might have the advantage
Of me, although I think you have left
your opponent the better side for
argument, as my observation has con-
WINGED me that environment takes
the precedence of heredity in mold
ing characters in the majority of
cases. L will give you as an example
some Of the best known cases to me,
as [ have walked down the path for
sixty-five years. l am reminded of a
family, now deceased, of three girls
and two boys. The first child was a
girl; the next boy, and so with each
Of the other children. The last chill
dren were twins, a girl and boy, but
the boy and mother died, and the old
er girls cared for the youngest for a
time. In due time the father married
again, and the stepmOther proved to
be good mOtherly woman. At this
time the characters Of the three old
est Of the five children were already,
formed, and they grew to be exemp-
larry persons. The second boy had
attained the age when boys are
always the smartest, and he
thought he did not have to mind sis
tiers and step mothers, SO grew up to
be a regular harem-scarem. The
baby sister improved on him to quite
an extent under the same environ
ments. The father and mother were
both eXemr airy characters. The old
est daughter had two husbands. She
had three children by the first, who
was an average character, and the
children grew to be the same as to
Character. BY the second husband
she had two girls and three boys.
Their father was plunger after mon
ey and paid very little attention to
them, only furnished them a good
home, and they grew to be a family Of
miscellaneous characters. The father
died first, and the mother died poor.
She was the first born of the first
family. The next was boy. He
was the exemplary son Of the first
father, who had the untamable bro
Their. Their father was exemplary.
He married and had four children,
a girl and boy, then another girl
and boy. [ will state that his faith
er's family were comfortably reared
in the country district. His two
daughters were exemplary characters.
His wife could hardly be called that,
although she made a faithful moth
er. His first son was exemplary.
for his lucation was got at a
country school. His younger broth
er was sent to the city Normal
and given much better edu-
cation, but he developed dissolute
character. Now, to 60 back to the
first family. The second son was the
devils own delight. He had two
bright girls, and his wife was a good
wife and mother. The Oldest girl
married, but life was burden while
her father lived. The younger one,
and much the brightest, died
young of broken heart, from insani-
ty caxsed by her environment, and
even before either Of her parents.
Therefore in all of this history you
will see that environment has far sur
passed heredity in molding all of
these characters, and l might go on

SHOULD MARK TREES
Scales Will Develop Masses of Cot.
tony Balls Which Will Show
Conspicuously On
the Trees.

There is nothing Plymouth can do
at the present time to stop the work
Of the Cottony Maple Scale, now eat
ing at a number Of the beautiful
naples in the city, says State Ento-
molcgist Benz. W. Douglass in E
letter received at this Office.
The thing to do now, he says, is
to mark the trees which are infect.
ed with the scale so that later they
may be sprayed. The scale is more
easily killed than is the San Jose
scale. His letter follows:
In reply to your letter of the 18th
1 wish to say that the scale which
you sent is the Cottony Maple scale.
This insect is very destructive on
Soft Naples, Lindens and Elms 1t
has probably destroyed more trs es
in the city of Indianapolis than any
other insect, not even excepting the
San Jose scale. : -
A little later in the season these
scales will develop masses of cottony
padding which will show up conspic-
uously on the trees. There is little
you can do at this season but the
trees showing the scale in the sum-
mer should be marked and sprayed
next winter with the lime and sui
rhur solution as recommended fol
the San Jose scale. 1t is more cas-
ily controlled than the San Jose
scale owing to the fact that the scale
occupies only the lower side Of the
branches. This enables more thor.
ough spraying work to be done.

RATS START FIRE.
John Staley Has Peculiar Experience
And Narrowly Escapes Loss
By Flames.

John j. Staley of south Michigan
street had a remarkable experience
this morning of the danger of carry
ing matchs loose in the pocket, and
very narrowly escaped having his
barn and all the contents burned.
When he went out to the barn he
found his coat and vest a6re on
the wagon seat and the cushion and
the cushion and seat also burning.
He soon put out the flames, but had
he not found it when he did the
whole barn would have been ablsze
On last Thursday he put some
matches in his vest pocket and went
to the farm to burn some brush.
On Friday night the wagon was left
in the barn with the vest on the
seat. Mr.. Staley has no doubt that
a rat climbed into the wagon and
bit match which started the fire.
Hereafter Mr.. Staley will carry
his matches in a match-safe.

FIRE ON SOUTH SIDE.
Miss Haines' House Occupied BY
G. E. Harris, Badly Damaged
By Flames Tuesday.

Miss Ida NJ. Haines' house at the
corner of Alexander and Miner
streets occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
C. E. Harris, was badly damaged
by fire Wednesday evening. Glen
Cummins first noticed the building
was on fire, about quarter before
seven O'Clock. He notified Mr.
Harris and the fire department.
The fire was under too strong q
headway for Mr.. Harris to stop it
but with help he got everything out
of the house. The fireman, after
some trouble in finding the place,
stopped the fire after it had burned
off the entire roof. The water soak
ed the whole house, however, and
damage from fire and water will be
perhaps $500. Both the building
and goods were fully insured.
Mr.. Harris will store his goods
until the repairs are made, when he
will move back into the property. A
new roof, ceiling and plastering al
over the house will be necessary.

Western College Tree Day.

The Trysting Tree, a poetic play
by Mann Clark Barr was presented
at the Western College Tree Day.
Miss Barr is member of the Senior
class, which presented the play. The
campus offered an excellent setting,
the scenes being laid in England in
the time of Robin Hood. The care
fully drawn characters and the cas-
lily moving action of the plot gave
ample opportunity for the exercise
of the Seniors historic ability.
Miss Minnie Swindell, Of Plym-
outh, was especially successful in
her part.

ATTEND CLASS PICNIC
Bodies of Maurice Gray and Bernard
Minear Recovered Tuesday
Evening in Very
Deep Water.

Maurice Gray, aged Is, SON Of
Mrs. w. T. Gary of Warsaw, and .
member of the Senior Class Of the
Warsaw High School, and Bernard
Minear, aged IL, son Of Geo. Minear
Of Warsaw and member Of the
Junior class, were drowned in Dog
Tail bay at Tippecanoe lake while
bathing May 16.
It is not known at just what time
they met their death, but at ten
o'clock in the morning they left
Cripplegate Heights on the south
side Of the lake and rowed to
French's Point to bathe. They were
attending a picnic given by the
Warsaw High School seniors, and
invited some of the other students
to join them, but they all declined.
No particular alarm was felt over
their disappearance until late in the
afternoon when their clothes were
found hanging on the fence at Dog
Tail Bay. The boat, discovered by
the Guy brothers, was taken to the
opposite shore Of the lake.
Soon after the alarm was sound
ed many Warsaw people rushed "a
the scene in automobiles and carri.
ages and hastily formed a searching
party. Gary's mother and Minear's
father were there when the bodies
were recovered.
The drowning Of the two boys
caused the widest excitement among
those who attended the Senior
picnic. Minear went to the picnic a
a conveyance driver for his uncle
who is a Warsaw liveryman. It d
probable that a picnic memorial
meeting may take the place Of the
regular commencement exercises.

tives of the Mexican government
and the revolutionists at 10 o'clock
Sunday night signed a peace agree
ment at the Customs House In
Jaarez intended to end the HOSTILE
ties that have been waged in Mexico
for the last six months.
Though covering only the prin-
cipal points negotiated thus far,
the agreement practically records
the concessions by the government
of those demands which started, on
Nov 20 last, armed revolution in
Mexico. kilograms announcing the
signing of the agreement were dis
patched throughout Mexico to revo-
lutionary aud Federal leaders alike.
Constitutional restrictions pre-
vented the inclusion in the agree
ment of the fact that the rebels
will be permitted to suggest to vari-
Gus state legislatures the names of
provisional Governors, and likewise
the fact that six of the eight MEM
bers of the new Cabinet have been
chosen by the revloutionists, but

the vice presidency of the republic
within the same period, and
"3. By the administration of law,
Francisco De La Barra, at present
minister of foreign relations Of the
government of Senior Gen. Diaz, will
assume for the interim the power Of
the executive of the nation and will
call the general elections according
to the terms of the constitution, and
"a. That the national government
will study the conditions of public
opinion in the actuality, to satisfy
these conditions with the provisions

an agreement conducive to indemni-
flying the losses directly caused by

ties represented in this conference,
