ADvERTISING-G0OD AND cad
Every Merchant Should Give Careful
Attention to This Important Branch
of His Business.

1t is pretty generally conceded that
no business that is growing can be
well run without organization and sys-
tenn. No man gets the full results out
of his business organization, or is
able TO make his business system
work perfectly, unless he deputies
special duties to his employees special
ly qualified to fulfill them, and gives
himself freedom to oversee the whole
and direct the main policies. But no
amount OF organization or system is
Sufficient. The most perfectly equip
ped piece of commercial machinery
Will lie idle unless it has business.
The way to get business is to ad-
vertise.
There is good advertising and bad
adVertising-and advertising that is
best. There is no good cause in which
man or a company can waste more
money than in bad advertising, while
good advertising never fails to get
business for any firm, which has some
thing that people would really want if
they knew about it.
The practical advertising expert to-
day must not only have an artistic
sense of illustration and type display,
put he must have the newspaper mans
specially developed faculty for seiz-
ing features of news value and his gift
OF tense, striking description. That
Is, the best advertising ideas come to-
day from the newspaper office.
NO man is a great power alone No
matter what his strength may be, that
strength is doubled when he allies
himself with another man for u com.
mon purpose. When a hundred men
combine, the strength is increased a
hundredfold. Ideas do not spring spon,
taneously out of nothing They are
porn of suggestion. Ideas are like flint
and steel: they strike sparks from
each other. Men combined for a com
mon purpose not only increase their
strength, but sharpen each others wits
and generate ideas in each other.
Many places of business as a whole.
says the Williamsport (Pa.) Sun. are
not advertising as they should be, as
the stores deserve, in order to get the
pest results. The merchant who does
aot give as much time and attention to
the subject of advertising and sales
manship in disposing of his goods as
he does to other departments of his
store, is truly lost in his efforts to
serve the buying public, as well as in
successfully disposing of his merchan-
disc.

Illustration of the reports in the words

the cause of decay in only two in
stances. The most of the trouble was
brought on from the effects of the
"sharp-shooter" and several bolls

COTTON HAS BEEN BRED
TO RESIST ANTHRACNOSE
Professor R. j. H. DGLOaCh Furnishes Interesting Bulletin
On the Experiments

The state College of Agriculture
undertook a few years ago to perfect
a variety of big boil cotton TO resist
the much dreaded fungus disease, an
thracnose. For this purpose, a typi-
cal plant of the Cook cotton was Sc
elected and one of the kilgore variety.
The initial plants were bred pure and
free from disease for year, and new
selections made on crosses effected
between choice plants, bringing the
pollen from the Kilgore to the Cook.
After the cross. the Cook type was
made the basis of selection, and few
plants of this type had the larger
,bolls. which had been one OF the pur-
poses of the cross The great object
for which the work was undertaken
was elimination of anthracnose, to
which the Cook variety seemed espe-
cially susceptible. OF this cross, one
plant from the progeny OF the large
boil selection was free from disease,
when others in the same row had as
high as % per cent of the disease.
The reduction of this in single year
was quite noticeable, and in 1908 on
ly per cent. of the plants diseased
in the plats planted with the select
seed. In 1909, no disease was found,
but the selection was kept up and es-
pecial care given to the shape of the
plant and size of bolls.
The success with the selection in
the experimental plats was so marked
that it was decided to arrange for a
distribution of a limited number OF
packages of them over the state in
1911 Farmers who desired to try
them were required to pay $1.00 for u
half bushel package and sign an agree
ment to make a certified report on
furnished blanks of the success with
which the cotton was grown. TWEEN.
ty-eight packages were accordingly
sent out n as many farmers, and
reaching twenty-five counties. These
counties extended from Pickens to Col
quit and from Carroll to Bulloch, and
represent almost every soil area in
the state The reports received from
these farmers are most encouraging
OF the entire number nineteen report
ed no trace of disease, and from the
other nine reports of a few bolls OF
anthracnose, "a few one-sided bolls

Fertilizers YESTERDAY

Americas fertilizer dealers had thei!
inning yesterday in an unexpected de-
mand for this commercial article upon
the part of farmers. The downpouy
of rain early in the morning put an
end to blowing on the farm, and the
time was utilized in hauling out fer
tilizer instead.
Many wagons went out loaded with
pungent fertilizers for distribution in
the cotton fields next week, if weather
conditions are favorable. The season
for selling fertilizer has not nearly
ended yet, and dealers hope for con-
siderable business in their line before

MAY YET Perform AN
OPERATION ON GRACE
Physicians Have Almost De.
Cided On 1t

Atlanta, March 29.-The performing
ing of an operation on Eugene H.
Grace is now an admitted possibility,
Two days ago all the physicians
agreed that his case was absolutely
hopeless and that death was only a
matter of time.
Today, however, the man has shown
such marked change that some of the
physicians are beginning to think an
operation is a chance we'll worth
taking.
That the bullet reached the verte-
brae is unquestionable. but, so it IS
declared, when it came to the Ques-
ton of whether or not the spinal
cord were actually severed, the most
skilled operators might be misled by
an X-ray picture.
1t is true that Grace has been para
| lyzed from the waist down ever since
the shooting, but physicians declare
| that if the bullet were resting imme-
diately against the spinal cord, OF
had displaced piece of bone so thai
it were resting there, the paralysis
might be exactly the same as if the
cord were severed.
1t is a strange commentary upo
the part chance plays in such affairs
that if the bullet had deviated a frac.
ton of an inch either way, Grace
would probably now be watkins
around the street, a practically wei
man. The wound in his chest an
lungs has already completely healed
and all traces of pneumonia and sucl
complications in the chest have dis
appeared.

heart, and Ham Robinson, her eight
year-old brother, and himself last
night at the home of the girls mother,
Mrs. Ham Robinson. The boy will
probably die as the bullet pierced his
abdomen. The girl was shot in the
side and will recover. Gowan shot
himself twice, but both were flesh
wounds. The tragedy is said to have
been the result of jealous rage.
