THOMAS COUNTY
PECAN GROVES
gets PRIZE
SOUTH GEORGIA LEADS ALL
Shows What May Be Done
Through This Section

Thomasville, Ga, Nov. 1S.-For the
best record made by pecan grove of
ten acres or more, the committee of
the National Nut Growers association
has awarded the first prize to John 1.
Parker, of this city.
A sample of the nuts from Mr.. Park
er's grove with the record made since
the trees came into bearing, was sent
to the recent convention of the Nut
Growers association at Gulfport,
Miss, and although there were a
number of other entries from all Of
the pecan growing states, none of the
records reached that made by Mr..
Parker's grove and he has received
official notification of the award over
them all.
This ten-acre grove belonging to
Mr.. Parker has become somewhat
noted all over the country and es-
pecially among pecan growers, not
only for the fine quality of the nuts
gathered from it, but for the fact that
other crops have been successfully
grown upon it every year along with
the pecans.
Last year a record crop was made
| from the cotton planted between the
pecan trees. This year the very wet
season operated against the cotton, as
1t did against the crop all over this
section and the yield was not so good.
Part of the ten acres was planted In
oats this year and a good yield was
realized from this crop, after which
the lead was planted in pea vine hay.
1t was the general idea for long
I time that nothing should be planted
on the land that was devoted to pecan
culture and on that account many
were deferred from planting pecans In
any quantity, not having sufficient
acreage to devote entirely to that pur-
pose. Mr.. Parker's experience, how
ever, has shown that the land need
not be a waste while waiting for the
trees to bear but can be planted
right along as 1t was before the grave
was set out. Though the trees on
this ten-acre grove are still quite
young, they are already bearing well
and the yield will increase from year
to year, as pecan trees, like wine.
grow better with age.
The grove is just outside the corpo-
rate limits of town and the nuts as
they are gathered are brought to the
owners town residence and kept until
marketed. They are of the Frotscher
variety of pecans, which is very
large paper-shell nut and the long
rows of them banked up in the drying
house where they will all be put
through the drying process, is sight
worth seeing and one that appeals
very much to the taste of the onlook-
er. From fifty to sixty cents pound
| by wholesale Is what these nuts COM
mand on the local market and ready
sale is found for them all, in fact the
demand is greater every year than the
supply.

FOR ANOTHER JUDGE
FOR SOUTH GEORGIA
Movement to Divide District
to Start Again

Savannah, Ga. Nov 18-With the
return of the democIats to power nexs
March the plan to re-apportion the
United States court districts in Geor-
gia is likely to be revived. The idea
has been brought up several times, but
there has always been enough oppo-
sition in the district to prevent the
passage of an act creating new dis
triet.
Savannah lawyers have long been OF
the opinion that Savannah should be
the headquarters of federal court
district. During the last few years
new divisions of the southern district
have geen established, which change
instead of allowing the judge more
time here has multiplied his duties by
giving him new places at which to
hold court.
While the plan is being discussed it
is not likely 1t can be placed before
congress within a year. The idea.
however, will be to have the PROPOSE
tion pressed through during President
Wilson's administration. Mr. Taft
will be president until next March. so
that manifestly the bill will not be in
troduced during the approaching ses-
slon of congress. Congress will have
its hands full of the tariff at the extra
session, which will be convened in
April. so that the earliest practicable
dtte when the bill could be offered
would be year from next month and
it couldn't pass before the following
spring.

MOTHER GOOSE REAL PERSON.

Mother Goose was a genuine per-
sonage originally known as Eliza
beth Foster. She was born in old
Charleston, S. c., and resided there
until her marriage with Isaac Goose,
when she became stepmother to ten
children and went to live in Boston.
To entertain her charges Mrs. Goose
used to invent stories in prose and
verse, and these were, in course of
time, collected by a Boston printer
who married one of her stepdaugh-
tiers. They were published IN 1719
with the title, "Songs for the MUIR
sery, or Mother Goose's Melodies for
Children" The book proved a huge
success. Mrs. Goose died in 1857.

the Church sanctions the marriage
of one who has been divorced, it
can be taken for granted that she
does so only after convincing her
self by a searching examination
that there is nothing to prohibit
the second ceremony. Catholics
who understand the teaching of
the Church will be slow to take
scandal in such cases and will
withhold judgment until they
learn the facts; and intelligent
non-C Catholics who are familiar
with the attitude of the Church in
regard to divorce may rest as
sured that her traditional teach
ing has been safeguarded even in
cases where there is apparently a
departure from it.
It is necessary for Catholics,
therefore, to understand the laws
of the Church regarding marriage
in order that they may not be
tempted to enter into an alliance
which can never receive her sane
ton and blessing. Since the
present marriage legislation went
into effect on Easter Sunday, 1908,
no Catholic can validity marry I'M
less the ceremony takes place in
the presence of a priest and two
witnesses. This is intended to
prevent clandestine marriages and
to deter Catholics from taking
such an important step without
due deliberation and full knowl-
edge of the consequences of their
act.

AMERICAN CATHOLIC HIS
TORICAL RESEARCHES.

With the current issue, the
American Catholic Historical Re
searches, of which the late Martin
[. j. Griffin Of Philadelphia was
owner and editor for twenty-five
years, ceased to exist as a separate
publication. Arrangements have
been made whereby it will be COM
bined with the Records of the
American Catholic Historical So
ciety, quarterly magazine, also
published in Philadelphia.
Since the death Of Mr.. Griffin
two numbers of the Researches
have been published by his sons
one of whom is the Rev. Martin I.
J. Griffin Of the College Of st.
Thomas, in this city. Mr.. Griffin
left among his manuscripts q suf-
ficient number Of historical ar
ticles to ELL many volumes of the
Researches, but I'm view of the
fact that the Records Of the
American Catholic Historical So
ciety are devoted to the same pur-
pose as the Researches it was
deemed advisable to merge the
publications.
