A COTTON SUBSTITUTE.
Fine White Yarn Spun From the
Common NettIe.

There are many articles used now
adays for which there is a substitute
or for which experiments are being
tried in order to find one. Take cot
ton, for instance. For a long time
a search has been going on in Eu-
rope to find substitute for this val
liable cloth producer.
Many experiments have been
made with the common nett1e, which
has been a promising plant on &C
count of the strength of it's fiber and
it's ready growth wild under the most
discouraging conditions with large
yield per acre.
The great difficulty has been in
separating the fiber from the woody
stem. In a method of treatment that
has been worked out in the last two
or three years the dried nettle stems
are boiled about an hour in dilute
soda lye and the loosened fibers are
then separated in a machine with re-
vOlving brushes.
The product is mass of yellowish
fibers free from gum that can be
bleached, combed and spun into lus-
trous white yarn. This is claimed
to have the smoothness and softness
of flax, with a strength even greater
than that of hemp.
The yarn has been made into brill
liant damask and can be used-alone
or with other threads-for uphol-
stories, ribbons and a variety of ABB

MICHELIN QUICK DETACHABLE.
Something About the Miche1in Tire
Advertised in The News.


Advertised in The News.
Tire fitting is not always the easy
task motorists could wish, but the
Michelin Tire Company has minim-
lied the difficulty with the introduce
ton of it's 1912 quick detachable
clincher. An important advantage
of this tire is that it is very easy to
put on any quick detachable rim. 1t
eliminates the necessity for labori-
GUS fitting. It simply drops on the
rim without forcing and without the
use of tools.
Another feature is the elimination
of the inside enveIop flap or tube
protector, which is usually con-
sidered a necessary evil. The abb
sence of protectors simplifies the fit
ting of inner tubes, reducing the dan
ger of pinching, as we'll as the labor
formerly involved where protectors
were necessary.
The Michelin quick detachable
clincher is shaped full and round.
The tread is broad and fiat. The
side walls are properly proportional
to assure maximum durability with
out sacrificing resiliency.
1t is believed by the Michelin Com
pany that tire owners will appreci-
ate tire of advanced design that at
once removes several of the old vex-
atoms of motoring.

INTEREST," GAME LAW CASE
Court of Appeals Decision Makes 1t
Clear Game Killed in Another
State Can't Be Sold in Georgia.

SAVANNAH, GA copy of the
decision of the court of appeals in
the case of Ward Allen, charged with
violating the game law, reached Sa-
vannah yesterday and was read with
interest. The case was carried from
the Chatham county city court on a
writ of error, and the judgment of
the lower court is affirmed. Mr.. AL
len was fined $40. Under the decis-
ion it is unlawful to sell or offer for
game that is prohibited under the
statute, regardless of whether it is
killed in Georgia or elsewhere.
The construction of the court on
the law follows: ''It is unlawful to
purchase or sell or offer for sale in
this state at any time any game pro-
tected by the prohibitory sections of
the act, or to have in possession such
game during the closed season, speci-
fed in the act without regard to
where it was killed or taken, wheth-
er within or without the state.
The Legislature intends by the ex-
plicit and broad statute to insure the
preservation and protection Of the
game herein specified within the
state by making an act of selling it
or Offering it for sale, or having it
in possession during the closed sea-
son, specific offenses, whether the
game was killed or captured within
the limits of the state or elsewhere.
The decision was rendered April
9th, all the judges concurring.
Mr.. Allen sold to the Oglethorpe
Club wood duck which he claimed
was killed in South Carolina. He
was arrested. and test case was
made, the defense being made that
the statute does not prohibit the
bringing into the state game that
was killed elsewhere.

CONGRESS is BROKE"
Iceman and Coal Dealers Unpaid and
Clerks WhistIing For Salaries.

The national houes of representa-
tives is broke" it seems. The ice
man is unpaid, the coal bill is unpaid
and a number of clerks have been
whistling for salaries that have not
been forthcoming. The reason, it
seems that the wolf of poverty is
bowling at the house door, is because
of the extraordinary expenses tnat
have been incurred by the various
investigating committees. The Stan
ley committee spent $4,000 from
the miscellaneous fund; the shipping
trust committee needed $25, 900, and
the judiciary committee $4,000,
and the agricultural committee and
others dipped into the miscellaneous
fund until nothing was left of 1t.
The members, it will be observed,
got their money and let the trades
men and the clerks wait.

OLD CRAZY SNAKE IS DEAD
FAMOUS INDIAN CHIEF PASSES
AFTER NOTABLE CAREER.
Accused Whites of Taking the Tribes
Lands and Made War ON Them
Was q Union Soldier.

was Union Soldier.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-Crazy
Snake, the Indian responsible for the
last uprising in Oklahoma, is dead.
The end came near Old Hickory, the
stamping ground of the Creeks in
1908.
Crazy Snake had always commended
that his tribe was robbed of it's land
by the whites. On several occasions
he went to Washington to appear be-
fore the senate. Failing to get what
he believed to be justice he started
an uprising in Mcintosh, Okufskee
and adjoining counties At one time
the lives of many settlers were
threatened. Crazy Snakes tribal
name was Chitto Harjo and his Eng
lish name Wilson Jones, who was the
leader of the Snake band of Creek
Indians. 1t was the boast of the
Snakes that they never had turned
their face from the old days and the
old customs, and they probably were
more primitive than any of the 9TH
err western tribes.
Crazy Snake was a full blood
Creek and was leader of the resent
full Creeks from 1901. While he
had a powerful following and al
though bitterly opposed to the gov
eminent allctting their lands and
compelling them to pay taxes only
twice did he permit an outbreak. The
first was in the winter of 1900-1901,
in what was known as the Creek
war, an uprising in which no on one
was killed by the Indians.
The second by the Snakes, in
March, 1909, was of longer duration
and resulted in a number of fatali-
ties on the part of the Indians and
some of their negro allies. 1t, too,
was the result of the allotment of
lands, which the Indians knew meant
the final dissolution of the tribal
form of government and the loss of
their nationality, traditions and GUS
toms. They had been guaranteed by
the government that such a thing
never should happen without the In
dians' consent. So the old chief de-
cided to make final stand for his
ideas of liberty.
Crazy Snake was born in the
Creek territory, which was then an

lived the peaceful life of the Creek
until the subject of the land allof-
ment came up. During the civil was
he was soldier in the union army.
His service as a soldier to the gov
eminent was matter that he called
attention to when he made an elo-
quent appeal to committee of Unit
ed States senator's at Tulsa, Okla,
when they went there to investigate
the affairs of the Indians. He told
them about the loyalty and allegi-
ance of himself and his followers to
the government during the war. say

cerned in negro slavery and that
none of their treaties was involved.

government he took up arms.

STATEWIDE prohibition will do more
to purify the politics of Arkansas
than all the corrupt practices acts
that could be imagined. For years
the "iquor vote" has swung ire
mendous influence in our elections. 1t
has generally been conceded that a
candidate with that vote at his COM
mand had an advantage of something
like $4,000 votes. Whether OR not
this number is overestimated, the L.
quor vote has always been counted
solidly in favor of the candidates
whom the liquor leaders favored.

there will be no liquor vote.

THE RECALL.

While the general principle of the
recall is good, the amendment pro-
viding for it in this state, to be voted
upon September 9, is faulty in the
small number of petitioners requil ed
to secure a recall election. Under
this proposed amendment II per cent
of the voters who elected him may by
petition require any officeholder to
seek reelection at any time before
the expiration of his term. Twelve
per cent is entirely too small a pro-
portion of the lectorate to WELD such
a power. Almost any successful can
didate for an office will, in a hard
fight, incur the ill-wil and enmity of
Il considerable portion of his constit-
uency, and, however efficient an off
Ger he might prove to be, sufficient
number of disgruntled voters, with
the small percentage required, could
be found to require him Immediately
to seek another election.
A good many other defects have
been pointed out in the proposed
amendment providing for the recall,
but this one fault is sufficient to con-
denim it, and it ought to be defeated.
Properly drawn, however, and
heldged with reasonable restrictions,
recall amendment should be placed
in the constitution of Arkansas. Some
means ought to be provided whereby
the voters could rid themselves of q
public servant who proves unfaithful.
A small contingent of voters, howev-
er, should not be permitted to harass
an officer by demanding his removal
on some tiimsy pretext. The demand
for his removal should be so universal
that his recall would be virtually as
