LINCOLN WAS SOFT HEARTED
Throughout the War It Cut Him to
the Quick to Have to Sign a
Death Warrant.

In the American Magazine Ida n.
Tarbell has told really great Line ri
story 1t is presented in the formydf
recollections of Lincoln, told by Billy
Brown, a Springfield, ILL.,, druggist,
who knew Lincoln intimately. Follow
ing is an extract from a talk Lincoln
once gave his old friend Brown. It Is
presented just as Brown told it.:
Then there's that pardoning busi-
ness. Every now and then l have to-
Tx 1t up with Stanton or some officer
for pardoning SO many boys. sup
pose it's pretty hard for them not to
have all their rules lived up to. They've
worked out a lot of laws to govern
this army, and s'pose it's natural
enough for 'em to think the most I'M
portant thing in the world is havin'
EN- obeyed. They've got 1t fixed so
the boys do everything accordin' to-
regulations. They don't even let 'em
die OF something that amt on the
ilst-got to die accordin' to the regula-
lions! But by lingo, Billy, amt goin'
to have boys shot accordin' to no
dumb regulations! amt goin' to
have a butchers day every Friday IN
the army If can help it. It's so what
they say, that I'm alwa's lookin'
for an excuse to pardon some body. l
do it every time l can find a reason.
When they're young or when they're
green or when they've been worked on
by Copperheads, or when they've got
disguised lynn still and come to think
we amt dom our job-when I see
that l amt goin' to have 'em shot.
And then there's my leg cases
I've got drawerful. They make Holt
maddest-says he amt any use fol
towards. Well, generally speakin',

STRAIN Of cotton
One That Will Meet Boil
WeeviI Conditions
And Resist Black Root-An-
nounced by Georgia Depart
ment Of Entomology

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 2S.-The Georgia
State department of entomology an
nounces the discovery and develop
ment Of a strain Of cotton hat will
meet boil weevil conditions by COM
paratively early maturity: that will
resist black root or wilt disease, and
which at. present prevailing prices, will
bring around 20 cents a pound on the
market
This strain of cotton, developed as
the result Of experiments made by State
EntomologiSt E. Lee Worsham, to
meet peculiar Georgia conditions,
promises to be the most valuable va
riety in the world.
While Georgia might have met the
advance Of the boil weevil with early
maturing varieties, practically every
one Of these known, was subject to
attack by the wilt disease. It was nee
essary, therefore, to get a strain which
would meet both conditions. This Mr..
Worsham has lone by crossing Egyp-
tan long staple with Die, an early
maturing American variety, and the
result is an intermediate long staple
which natures comparatively early.
resists the black root and has a
strong. fine long staple, making it OF
TAR more value thar even the highest
grades Of short staple cotton.
The beauty about the new variety is
that it will grow almost anywhere in
the cotton belt, while h regular long
staple, known as Sea Island. is con-
fined to a narrow anad limited area
near the S~eacOaSt. This new strain
also meets boil weevil conditions as to
Sea Island cotton which would other
wise ave escaped boil weevil destruc-
ton.
The department has only one acre
of the variety this year; nseuue
the quantity Of seed will be limited. It
VIII be distributed free Of cost to
planters in the twenty-five counties in
the southwestern section Of GEORGIA.
