WHITFIELD LAWYERS ASK
CHICKAMAUGUA CIRCUIT
Especial Dispatch to The Journa

Especial Dispatch to The. JournaD.
DALTON, Ga, March 6.-The Chick
amauga judicial circuit is what several
local attorneys are after, and 1T is
practically certain that a bill for the
purpose of creating the new circuit Will
be introduced at the next meeting OF
the state legislature.
The object of creating a new circuit
is TO relieve the Cherokee circuit of
the large amount of business, generally
conceded to be too much for one
judge.
The new circuit will, if the plans
are carried out embrace the counties
of Whitfield. Walker, Dade and Catoosa.
Walker would be taken from the Rome
circuit. and Whitfield, Catoosa and
Dade from the Cherokee circuit. The
Cherokee circuit would then consist of
Barlow, Gordon and Murray counties,
and the Rome circuit of Floyd and
Chattooga counties.
A bill, having in view the creation
of the new circuit. was introduced once
before, but it was toward the close of
the session and was not passed.

ThOMASTON FARMERS
DON'T MIND RAINS

THOMASTON, Ca, March 6.-The
farmers of Epson county are not wor-
ried because of the continued wet
weather, for most of them shaped then
land before Christmas, and realize that
the rains are of great benefit. They
seem sanguine over the outlook, know
ing that when it does break, they win
have the jump on neighbor farmers,
and since. the soil is in such good
shape, expect a bumper, crop this fall.
From present prospects an unusuai
acreage of corn will be planted, while
there will be plenty of cotton, for Local.
farmers look for high prices this fall.
1t is significant to note that there are
over twice as many hogs raised as III
years past.

Good soap washes clothes
well-if you use enough
elbow grease; but Gold Dust
washes them more thoroughly
and with little or no rubbing.
Gold Dust saves half your time,
and spares your poor back.
Another great advantage of Gold
DuSt-use any kind of water you
like. Gold Dust softens the hard
est water, and makes it soft as
rain water.
Gold Dust is just vegetable-Oil
soap in powdered form, with
other cleansing ingredients added
to make it work more thoroughly
and quickly than soap ever can.
Just try Gold Dust next wash
day, and see how much time you
save.

Twenty bushels of cotton seed
alone would not make a satisfactory
formula for corn on any type of land.
This much seed would contain about 81
pounds Of phosphorus, 23.5 pounds of
nitrogen and 81 pounds of potash. You
will thus see that it would be very low
i'm phosphorus and potash. The addi-
ton of at least 800 pounds of nigh
grade acid phosphate and so pounds of
muriate of potash would be needed to
at all balance this formula. We believe
you will find it better to mix together
/, 200 pounds of seed, 700 pounds Of hig&
grade acid phosphate and 80 pounds of

PADS AND FASHIONS

To wear with an ornate costume, a broad hat bound with black velvet and covered with Irish lace stands In l the first rank.
 Macrame laces are more than ever popular, and now comes along a charming little macrame belt for the white summer dress. Very noticeable is the favor shown l to touches of bright green, coral and red on dark colors, such as black,
 blue and seal brown. Bright touches of Chinese embroid- cry appear upon many of the tailor made coat and skirt costumes in serge, toweling and ratine. Paeats are used in some of the tail- ored skirts, principally in the center back; but they are so fatly pressed as to be scarcely perceptible. Smart frocks for children are usu- ally made with separate guimpes made of fine linen or batiste and finished at the neck with dainty turnover col lars.
 For dinner gowns and evening wear nothing is SO popular as the lace trim med chiffon or satin gown of pure
 white with one glowing note of color We even find the accessories of taf- feta decidedly in vogue. Handbags, parasols, girdles, fchus and collarettes of silk are carrying out the taffeta lQea. Long lines of small, capricious bows are placed on skirts and bodices Vel- vet ribbon, satin or silk are employed for these, with a buckle or button in the center
 The alI-enveloping and disgusting bell shapes in hats have given place to other hats of entirely different
 form, the broad, flat, picturesque hat
 being undeniably popular Tissu eponge. or Turkish toweling; now appears in many colors, but it's chief use is in white summer suits, and it will to some extent supplant serge and flannel for these. In this seasons silks we find very noticeable the combination of plain with changeable,. lowered with stripes, bordered effects with plain and spot ted panels with one-tone silks. A new evening wrap in taffeta, voile, chiffon or net is made sleeveless, hav- ing slits at the sides, finished off with a ruching. and is worn only on dressy occasions, over lingeries or evening gowns.

JACK PFIESTER, 34 TO-DAY,
 SENT BACK TO THE MINORS

John A. Pfiester, who is informally called Jack, is today celebrating his thirty-fOurth birthday wearing the uniform of the Milwaukee club of the American Association, and it is likely that the once great twirler has pitch ed his last game in the big show Jack was given chance to come back this Spring as member of the Chi cago National Leaguers, where he was once a bright particular star, and for little while it looked as if he might get away with it. The patriarch wasn't quite good enough, however, and this month the Cub management sold him to Milwaukee. Pfester was born in Cincinnati. May "A, 1878. and, like most future greats, began his baseball career on the back lots In 1901, after some experience on minor league and semi-professional teams. he broke into major league baseball with the Baltimore Orioles. The Balti- more aggregation was then in the American League and had as it's man. ager the mighty lawn McGraw. Pies ter failed to make hit with McGraw and his stay with the Orioles was brief. In 1902 Jack played with Co., found him on the Pacific Coast, play ing at first with the San Francisco Club of the Pacific National League. When Frisco, with three other clubs of the league, dropped by the way side, Jack joined the Spokane team, which was one of the four that fin ished the season. The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted him in 1904. but farm ed him out to the Omaha Western League club. He stayed with the Nebraska metropolis until 1906, when he was secured by the Chicago Cubs. For five years the southpaw was one of the mainstays of the Chicago twjrl ing staff, and figured in the winning of four National League pennants for the Windy City. He never quite for got nor forgave McGraw for. turning him down in 1901. and he never over looked an opportunity to rub it in by shutting out McGraw's Giants, which trick he turned with frequency that was astounding. Pfiester got to be famous for his great whitewashing stunt, and whenever he went into the box for Chicago against the Giants the latter just naturally considered themselves in for a coat of the white. stuff In 1910 Pfester began to go back and he was permitted to pitch only part of one game for Chicago in the 1910 worlds series. At that. he could probably have accomplished as much as the other Cub pitchers against the invincible stick men of the Athletics.
