Among other means which may be
employed to protect the trunks of
young fruit trees from the attacks of
mice and rabbits whitewash gives ex-
cellent results. A recipe for making
1t recommended by the Ohio expert
ment station is as follows: Slack one
peck of fresh lime with old soapsuds,
thin to the consistency Of whitewash
and stir In one gallon of crude car
bollc acid, four pounds Of sulphur and
one gallon Of soft soap. This wash
should be applied with a brush and
will not only prevent rodents from
gnawing the trees, but will kill insects
and promote the health of the bark.

Where 1t is possible to do so it is q
good idea to place the semi-tropical
plants such as the palm, sword fern.
sprengeri and cactu& as high on the

Of the fact that there is a difference
Of several degrees in a stove heated
room between the air three feet and
seven feet from the floor. One of the
most beautiful and long fronded sword
ferns we ever saw was given a high
niche, and we do not doubt that the
warmer upper air had something to do
with its thriftiness.

OLD KENTUCKY PIKE WILL
BE CHRISTENED BY TAFT
AS INTERSTATE HIGHWAY

Nashville Board of Trade that that state
will take up the work at the Tennessee
line, has aided largely in the work.
Tt is expected ultimately the road will
connect Minneapolis with the gulf by
continuous highway, destined to become
a factor on large commercial artery
and for motorists ideal. From here to
Nashville the old louisville and Nashville
pike will be reconstructed. While no def
mite plans have been made for rebuild
ing the highway beyond Nashville It
often has been proposed that the old milf
tary road between Nashville and ColuTn-
bia, Miss, be utilized
This pike was made famous because
General jackson and his troops traversed

fact the entire line from Louisville south

lished between urban and rural schools
Following the example of the larger
towns and cities, many districts with
railroad crossings or corporations OF
some value have availed themselves of
the privileges of the McAIichael bill,
fenced of the richest portion of the
county, and voted additional school
funds by taxation. This leads me to
say that I am uncertaip as to whether
or not that part of the McMichael bill
referring to district taxation is good or
evil in its effects. Any measure which
hopelessly condemns the larger and
more helpless part of our citizenship
to the cupidity and selfishness of the
relatively powerful among our people
should have no place among the laws
of a state which bears the motto of
justice on its shield. No division of
city and county should ever have occur
red Instead, we should have made
the county the unit in every Instance
just as is the case now with Bibb.
Chatham, Glynn and Richmond.
Let us have legislation that will lead
to the education of all our people by
the county unit plan instead of encour-
aging the chaos that will result from
thousand little dependent districts and
another thousand condemned to hope
less education poverty and inefficiency."

ROAD TO LINK DALTON
WITH TOWNS OF MURRAY
Capitalists Will Reopen Old
Line of Dalton and AlaCulSey
Railroad

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
DALTON. Ga, June 19-The general
topic for discussion on the streets here
today Is the approaching visit Of several
capitalists who are, interested in the con-
struction of a standard gauge steam rail-
road from Dalton TO Murray county
points over the old grade of the D. & A.
railroad, which project was abandoned
before completion.
These capitalists viii arrive here either
Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. and.
accompanied by an engineer. will go over
the already graded roadbed which will be
turned over to them free provided they
decide 10 construct the new railroad. On
the trip they will ascertain what business
they could safely count on and after thor
oughly considering the matter will decide
whether or not they will undertake 1t.
Several years ago the Dalton and Ala
culsey railroad was launched by a party
OF northern capitalists interested in the
timber on the Cohutta mountains. The
road was TO run from the lumber camp
through Murray county and have its ter
minus at Dalton. Work was started and
after the proposed road had been graded
and hundreds OF ties laid work was
stopped. This grade is now in fairly good
condition and at small expense could be
put in first class shape. The grade which
viii be given the promoters Of the new
road represents fully $4,000 worth Of
work.
The people OF Murray county are en-
thusiastic over the building OF the road
which would traverse a rich farming ter
ritory untouchedsby a railway; and the
road would. it is believed. be a paying
proposition.

has the opportunity now to become q
health resort. Every resident can have a
mineral spring in his own home by turn-
Ing on the water spigot and his bath tub

condition OF affairs has just been
brought to light by report made by
the water commissioners, in reply to corn
plants from Whitestone about the quail
ty of the water.
I'VE made an investigation to learn
what was the cause of the trouble" says
the report, 80 I'd found that our new
wells have tapped vein of mineral
springs, the waters of which are highly
charged with iron and other chemical
properties. The waters are highly medic
inal and valuable both for drinking and
bathing. These same springs were tapped
by a private concern some 30 years ago
and pavilion was erected there to which
people came from all over the country
