COAL SUPPLY SHORT;
FAMINE THREAT ENED

ST. PAUL, Aug. 10.-St. Paul and the
northwest are facing one of the worst
coal famines since 1902 the year Of the
big strike when the fuel went up to $40
a ton. Alarming conditions in the pres
emit and prospective supply of coal are
admitted by St. Paul coal dealers.
At the head of the lakes the supply Of
hard coal is less than 20 per cent Of
the amount usually on hand at this time
of the year. The shortage is attributed
to the severe weather of last winter,
which continued through the month Of
March. The coal stored by the mines
as reserve was exhausted. Two months
of idleness-April and May-coupled with
the heavy consumption Of coal in the
east affected the situation.
George H. Gushing, editor of the Black
Diamond, Goa! trade publication, says
that the country produced 9,500,0C0 less
tons of coal from January l to July l.,
1912, than during the same period Of
1911, and during this time the country
used 100000 tons more than during
the corresponding months of the previous
year, making a visible shortage of 49,
500 900 tons.

SENTENCED TO HANG,
JONES ASKS NEW TRIAL

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 10.-With-
out flinching. Walter Jones, the white
man whol~was convicted last week for
numbering Sloan Rowan, a Benton, Ala,
merchant, today heard Judge Brown SEN
tence him to be hanged Friday, Septem-
Der 13. Execution of the penalty was
suspended pending an appeal to the SUI
preme court.
Jones unsuccessfully sought a new trial
upon many grounds, chief of which be-
ing that during his trial, one of the
jurors, separated so feet from the re-
mainder of the jury, held a converse ton
with Sheriff Horace Hood. 1t was al
legged that the court erred in refusing
change of venue and that cheers in
the court upon one occasion indicated he
could not get a fair trial.

mercy, with an even hand. He has
held over 1000 sessions of his court
and has tried over 100000 cases, and
his record has been such that repeated
efforts to defeat him, both in council
and at the ballot box, have been un-
availing. When the law was changed
making his office elective by the peo-
pie, the lawless element rejoiced, but
the people endorsed him at the ballot
box when there we're five candidates
in the field.
His enforcement of the liquor law,
his fight on blind tigers and pistol
toters is familiar history throughout
the state. To the rock pile he has
sent men of wealth and influence al
though many of the cases were ap-
pealed, even to the Supreme Court
of the United States. His judgments
were seldom reversed.
Judge Broyles graduated at the
University of Georgia in the Class OF
1888 and he practiced law for eight
years with his father, the late Col.
E. N. Broyles, one of the ablest law
yers Of his time. The firm practiced
in all the courts of the state and often
appeared before the Supreme Court
of the United States. At an early
age Judge Broyles was an expert
enced and able legal practitioner.
AS recorder of Atlanta he has not
only been called upon to try all classes
of criminal cases, but he has had to
analyze and decide every phase of the
most intricate civil cases, involving
the rights Of person and property.
AS a Judge of ripe experience, as
a iurist well-versed in every phase of
civil and criminal law and as man
fearless in the discharge of duty,
he comes well-qualified in every way
to fill the office to which he now
aspires GORDON NOEL HURTEL.

MACON, Ga. Aug. 1O.-Announce-
ment was made tonight by George

States Cotton Corporation, following
an all day conference of direction from
Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama

He said that a special representa-

factors and bankers had investigated

that as a result of his report he had
been requested to come to Germany at
once.
He would not announce the name of

The department of agriculture is using
all the means at it's disposal to meet
the emergency at its disposal to meet
destruction Of crops in the south by the
fan army worm. This insect is present
i'm unprecedented numbers from Louis
lana and Arkansas eastward to the At
lantic, and is destroying corn, cotton,
sugar cane, rice and other crops to such
an extent as to cause geat anxiety on
the part of planters and others. By means
of emergency appropriation by congress
il is possible for the department to render
quick assistance.
Plans for this work in cooperation with
the states concerned, are being rapidly
perfected. This insect will undoubtedly
continue its ravages for some time un-
less checked. In all probability another
brood will appear after the pres
ent one transforms in the ground. For
these reasons immediate action toward
destroying the worms is strongly ad-
vised.
The department recommends the use
of arsenicals. Among these are arsenate
of lead, Paris green, and London pur-
pie. In most cases 1t will be best TO
apply these poisons in dry forms in
stead of with water. Dry applications
can be made by sitting the poisons upon
the plants through light cloth sacks or
by means of blowers or busting ma
chimes. Liquid applications must be made
with spraying apparatus to be effective.
For this reason the dry applications meet
the present emergency better than liquid
ones.
Arsenate Of lead in powdered form is
recommended aboye all other arsenicals
because 1t will not injure the foliage of
any OF the field crops grown in the
south. It may be applied without the
addition of any carriers. Paris green is
next in effectiveness, but should be mixed
with fits weight of air slaked lime or
flour to prevent burning of the foliage.
which is likely to occur If il should be
applied undiluted. London purple may
be used. but should be applied with air
slaked lime or flour, as recommended in
the case Of Paris green. Wherever it
is feasible to use liquid sprays. arsenate
Of lead I'm powdered form should be
used at the rate Of three pounds per bar

naturally a conservative and a law
abiding people. Why is the law held
in such contempt by so many OF our

either in the lower or higher courts,
through some absurd legal technical
ity. The escape of these guilty criml-
nails, without any punishment, has
two very evil results-frstly, it en-
courages crime, and secondly, 1t pro-
vokes mob law and all the terrible
consequences that follow in its wake.
If the people of Georgia should honor
me with a seat on the court Of APP
peals, l should decline to grant new
trial in any case, on a technical point
where the record showed that sub
stantial justice had been given IN the
lower court, unless the law in express
terms commanded me to do 1t.
I have had % years of experience as
a lawyer and upon the bench, and have
practiced in all the courts of Georgia,
both state and federal, and have a
laudable ambition to serve the people
of Georgia upon the next to the high
est court in the state.
l am closely confined by my present
duties to the courtroom, and will be
unable to make a canvass of the state,
and will have to rely for aid in my
candidacy upon my friends, and upon
those citizens throughout Georgia,
who, knowing me by reputation only,
vet have faith and confidence in my
character and ability.

Much damage has been done to the to-
mato crop this year by the corn bud
worm The very wet season is respon-
sible in some measure for the amount
of damage which is being reported from
this insect in various parts of the state.
The backward nature of the corn crop is
also responsible in some measure for
the large amount of DANA ge reported by
growers of tomatoes. The chances are
that the worms referred to will leave
your tomatoes and go to the corn at an
early date. One of the rasons why gar
deners have so much trouble with in
sects is due to the fact that they do
not rotate their crops as they should.
You should also gather up all the trash
and litter in the garden and compost and
fork II over several times during the
winter so as to destroy the hiding places
of the insects. Infested vines should
be taken up and burned. Go over your
tomatoes every morning and pick off all
affected fruit and be sure to destroy the
worms. This is practicable on a small
patch, but on a large scale could not be
carried out very successfully. The best
thing you can do is to spray your toma-
toes with arsenate of lead prepared as
follows: Two pounds of arsenate of lead
should be dissolved in a small amount
of water; add two pounds of unslaked
lime, and then add sufficient water to
make so gallons. Keep the mixture
thoroughly agitated while applying. In
preparing small quantities use an ounce
of lead and an ounce of lime to about
two gallons Of water. Stir the mixture
thoroughly and distribute with a water
ing pot. OF course If you have a KNAPP
sack sprayer or other apparatus for
treating tomatoes on a large scale, you
VIII find it cheaper and more desirable
to apply the solution by power rather
than by hand. .-

1t is impossible to determine from

would be no objection TO mixing these

can in no way injure it, and they might
benefit IL somewhat, as II is likely that
