JACKSON COUNTY MAN
INVENTS COTTON PICKER

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
EATONTON, Ca, Aug. 24-What ap-
pears to be a successful and practical
invention in the way of a long sought
farming implement, has just been placed
on exhibition at a local hardware store;
and many successful farmers have de-
clared their dreams of a practical cotton
picker at last realized.
The invention is of the brain work of
]. F. Hughes, formerly of jackson coun-
ty, who moved to Putnam during the
past two years. Mr. Hughes, is a hard
working farmer, living seven miles south
of Eatonton, and claims for his machine
that it has been in successful operation
for two seasons. An application for pat
ent for his invention will be made and
his friends are hoping for him a fortune.

TRUSTEES OF UNIVERSITY
LOSE TO DENMARK HEIRS
Judge Charlton 0verruleS De-
murrer-CaSe Goes to
Trial
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug 24.-Judge
Walter G. Charlton in the superior court
this morning overruled the demurrer of
the trustees of the University Of Geor-
gia in the Brantley A. Denmark will
case and decided that the clause of the
will giving the fee simple title to the
property to the university at Mrs. Den
marks death was void. and ordered the
case to trial on its merits.
The demurrer that Mrs. Denmark was
estopped from attempting to break the
will because she had waited for eleven
years was overruled and the action or
dered to proceed.
Judge Charlton in his opinion stated
that while he had to follow the law as
laid down by the supreme court, If he
followed his own convictions he would
have rendered an adverse opinion.
Judge Denmark left his wife a life
estate in his S150,000 estate and then to-
the University of Georgia.
Mrs. Denmark a year ago began pro-
ceedings to break this clause of the will
claiming that it worked to the exclusion
of the wife and children and against the
law which declares that not more than
one-third Of an estate can be left to a.
charitable institution, to the exclusion
of the wife and children.
Judge George F. Gober, of Atlanta, IS
one of the attorneys in the case.

FOREIGN COUNTRIES
FORM TOBACCO TRUST


WASHINGTON. Aug. 2A-To ascertain
whether a tobacco buying trust has been
formed by the governments of Italy.
Austria, France. Spain and Japan to de-
press prices on the American market, the
house today passed a bill providing for
an investigation by a special congress
sional committee. The senate already
had passed the bill
The five governments concerned are de-
clared to exercise a monopoly i'm the
manufacture Of tobacco and, although
they buy heavily in the American mar
ket, competition between them is said to
have been a dead letter for years and the
prices paid have been steadily depressed
until the American grower now is said to
be forced to dispose of his crop at price
lower than the growing cost. The pro-
posed commission is to consist of three
senator's and three representatives.

question there is much rationalism
prevalent in the land. Some pulpits
even have been submerged by the
waves of scepticism which have
swept over the world. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that we see the
attendant credulity which always
goes along with such currents.
In and about Harvard University
there has been much scepticism of
one sort and another. 1t will be re-
membered that the Emeritus-Presi-
dent, DR.. Eliot made a deliverance
few years ago concerning the religion
of the future, in which he showed
that he had virtually renowned most
of the distinctive teachings of chris
tianity, and had taken up with the
vague sort of system which was less
christian than Unitarianism even. He
is a fair exponent of the state of
things about Cambridge. and we see
what that condition brings forth in
the end,-messages purporting to be
from the spirit world and containing
nothing better than a request that
pink pajamas and black necktie be
the christmas present of Prof. Hys-
lop!
If those conditions were as wide as
our whole country, what sort of re-
ligious life would prevail all over the
land? Could such a state supply the
moral force required to preserve the
spiritual life of the nation? Can such
a state impel or qualify sohe man to
go as a foreign missionary to the
heath? Nither superstitious rational
ism nor rationalistic superstition has
power enough to strengthen men for
the serious tasks of modern life. We
must look to something more solid
and sensible.
A certain class of people have been
taken off their feet by the specious
plausibilities of some rationalists,
and they should be warned in time
before they are delivered hopelessly
into the pits and quagmires of suepr-
stition. Indeed, 1t is to be feared
that some have already become as
superstitious as Professors James
and Hyslop. What is the meaning of
the horde of palmists, gypsies, and
fortune-tellers, whose advertisements
fill the newspapers and whose tents
infest the cities? They are reaping a
revenue from men and women, who,
having lost faith in Christ, are ready
to accept any fable, whether cum
ningly or clumsi1y devised. Their de-
luded patrons cannot do otherwise;
for an invincible necessity forces
them to seek some light outside and
about themselves. They cannot rid
themselves of the disposition to lean
on the spiritual world; and having
thrown away the scriptures, they run
to Shese degraded teachers who claim
knowledge of things invisible. Let
no man suppose that the patrons of
these impostors are the ignorant and
uneduoated classes only; far great
