Sycamore Hill hasn't anything on

this silence thing is concerned. But
being a newspaper man, these stories
fly by night, and, despite our known
reluctance to hear anything of other

You see, about 80 members, bold be-

uuered by their love of the duties de-
volving upon every Patron, fought
their ways Friday evening, two miles
from Rockland to this Pleasant Val

CATTLE POISONING.
The Conditions Under Which Sor-
ghum Is Instantly Fatal.

The Conditions Under Which SOr-
ghum Is Instantly Fatal.
Again reports are coming in re-
garding the poisoning of cattle on
sorghum. Every year this plant takes
it's fearful toll. Always it is the same
story-a bunch of cattle were turned
into field of second growth or
stunted sorghum and most of them
died before they could be taken out.
So deadly is the poison that few
mouthfuls are sufficient to produce
death. Yet this same sorghum is
perfectly harmless if cut and allow
ed to dry
Under conditions where the growth
is retarded the plant seems to elabor-
ate a glucoside which when taken
into the stomach of cattle produces
hydrocyanic or prussic acid, the most
deadly poison known. Hence the
rapidity with which death ensues.
No treatment is known that is of
any avail, and even though an anti
dote were known there is little or
no time in which to use it.
1t was formerly supposed that only
the saccharine sorghums were harm
full, but now we know that under SIM
liar conditions of growth kaffir corn
at least is fatal.
If these sorghums must be pastur-
ed it is always safer to turn in only
one animal at first to determine the
effect before risking the whole herd.

LAWYERS SUFFER OF THIRST
Drank Up the Evidence in Atlanta
Blind Tiger Case, and Then Tes-
titled Against Defendant.

ATLANTA.-Four pints of excel
lent rye whiskey were produced in
Judge Andrew CaIhouns court yes
terday afternoon as evidence in a
blind tiger case. They were placed
on the table in full view of every
body. But before Judge Calhoun
was able to reach and call the case
the four bottles mysteriously disap-
peared.
The whole detective force, the
county police, the court bailiffs and
the judge himself during a short ad-
journment began to search for the
four pints. They finally traced the
theft to four well known Atlanta
lawyers, who pleaded guilty before
anybody had chance to indict them.
Return the liquor and it will be
all right" the judge assured them.
But we can't return it, your hon
or" they confessed, and it was OBJ
yiously true.
We'll, l reckon you can swear it
was whiskey, couldn't you?" inquir-
ed the judge, and when they said
they could he summoned them as
witnesses and let the trial proceed.

movement for a better world here

At a meeting of the Social Center

Wilson of New Jersey said: mot a
few of our social and political diff
culties arise out of a lack of under
standing, out of genuine ignorance
on the part of one set or class of
interests of the point of view and OBJ
jects of another class or set of inter
ests. Nothing but mutual compre-
hension can cure this, and mutual
comprehension cannot be brought
about except by intimate intercourse,

GEORGIA COMING TO FRONT
Now Ranks as One of Greatest Corn
Growing States of Nation, and Is
Fourth in Farm Products.


AS a corn growing state Georgia is
rapidly forging to the front and if
the present rapid stride is kept up
some of her sister states must begin
to look to their laurels.
In 1911 Georgia produced 10000
900 bushels of corn, an increase of
about 100000 over the year of
1910, when 65,O0O,O0O bushels were
produced. With corn selling at 81
per bushel the state is richer by
$8,000,000 from the corn crop alone.
Illinois, which is the largest corn
growing state in the union, fell off
nearly 1OO,OOO,0OO bushels in 1911,
producing approximately 100000
600 last year as against 400, O00,0
the year preceding.
Missouri leads the southern states
in the corn industry with 3,000,-
600 bushels. Kentucky is next with
$4,000, 1000; Texas third with 96,-
100000; Tennessee fourth with 95,-
100000.
Georgia is fourth among all the
states in the amount of all farm
products. Illinois ranks first, Texas
second and Iowa third.
According to present indications,
if the movement to decrease the cot
ton acreage in the state is success
full this year Georgia should press
Missouri hard for first place in the
corn industry in the southern states

National Good Citizenship Movement
A conference to consider ways and
means of securing concerted action
on the part of the young people of
our country against the liquor
traffic and attendant evils was held
in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, Chicago, November and 3,
1911. Representative of many
church, temperance and educational
organizations were in attendance.
| Addresses were made by Rev. Wilbur

ternational Reform Bureau; Rev. A..
! S. Gregg, superintendent of the
American Civic Reform Union; Mr..
James S. McGraw, field secretary of
the National Reform Association;
Rev. Clarence T. Wilson, correspond
ing secretary of the Methodist Epis-
copal church; Mr.. Harry S. Warner,
general secretary of the Intercolle-

others. Messages were read from

others expressing sympathy with the
purpose of the conference. A plan
OF work was outlined and provision
was made for a conference to be
held in Chicago in February. The
aim of the National Good Citizen

existing organizations rather than to
form a distinct organization; by
conference, lecture courses, study
classes, dealing with the liquor prob
lem from the scientific, economic,
civic and moral viewpoints, that a
generation may be trained up with
a knowledge of the nature of the
injurious effects of alcohol; by gath

ATLANTA.-With Hon. Robt. F.
Maddox of Atlanta, the new an
pointee, sitting in the place Of Dr..
Willis F. Westmoreland, resigned,
the state board of health is in seg-
sion today at the hospital.
The chief business before the
board is the sensational affair that
has grown up around the charges
filed by DR.. Westmoreland against
DR.. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
board DR.. Westmoreland charged
that DR.. Harris was guilty of bust
ness irregularity, neglect Of duty
graft, and wtlful careIessenss in
sending out improperly labeled dip
liberia antitoxin, thus putting the
lives of many children in danger
and causing the death of some.
1t is known that the board stands
with Dr. Harris, and it is consequent
ly taken for granted that he will be
eXonerated, no matter how the new
member, Hon. R. F. Maddox, may
vote in the matter. However, there
is disposition on the part of per-
sons interested not to let the matter
drop in the board, but to take steps
toward following the affair up with
a legislative investigation.
In appointing a business man in
stead of a doctor on the board Gov
ernor Slaton has taken a new DEPART
ure, so far as recent precedent is
concerned, but he believes it will
make the board stronger. 1t is en-
tirely within the law, as the law
says a majority of the members
of the board shall be physicians 1t
does not say that they must all be.
