HOWELL HAS FOUGHT
20 YEARS TO HOLD HIS
PLACE ON COMMITTEE

pestiferous minority to make nuisance

The astonishing result was that un
der Smiths own rules and over Browns
original protest the convention, assem-
bled, was a solid Brown convention
and it was presidential year.
Howell Wins Again.
When the Brown delegates to the
state convention got through electing
delegates to the national convention of
1908, Clark Howell was again elected
his own successor on the national com
mittee, notwithstanding the Hardwick
resolution in favor of Gray adopted two
years before
This carried Howell's term of service
on the national committee over to this
year, 1912. He had had several close
calls but the Smithites hadn't cap
tured him yet
In 1910 Hoke Smith was again elect
ed governor, this time beating Little
Joe" by 5000 votes That wasn't many,
but it put little Joe" out of business,
and again the guns were loaded for
Howell
Not long after Smith was inaugu-
rated governor, Senator Clay died, and
the question of his successor was
thrown into the legislature 1t was a
Smith legislature. and Governor Smith
soon became Senator Smith This
brought on an unexpired term guber-
Material election, and Little joe
bobbed up again.
He not only bobbed up, but he bobbed
into the governors Office once more.
notwithstanding the fact that Senator
Smith backed Pope Brown against him.

One Chance at Howell Left
The only way to get Howell's scalp
now was to capture the next conven-
ton. charged with the duty of electing
presidential delegates to Baltimore.
These delegates must elect the national
committeeman
So again the county unit plan was
abolished by the Hoke Smith commit
tee. and it was ruled that all delegates
to that convention must be favorable to
the candidate winning in the presiden-
tial primary. Howell, Brown and others
protested that this was undemocratie
and unfair, but without avail The rule
was adopted. and Smith plunged into
the fight TO win Georgia to Wilson and
get that national committeemanship
for Gray
Again the Brown Howell forces won
at the precise psychological moment for

This carries Howell over to 191G-a,

I1literacy in South

Says M. L. Britain

NJ. L. Britain. state superintendent
of schools, is authority for the state
ment that statistics show illiteraey in
Georgia to be less now than il was be
fore the Civil war arguments to the
contrary notwithstanding.
The statistics of 1860 show white
in Georgia to have been
twelve per cent. The census figures of
1910, recently made public, show that
the percentage for 1910 is but seven.
of course, in 1870, during the lean
years, the illiteracy erept UP to IS per
cent, but it has been reduced steadily.
In 1900 1t was eleven per cent.
nliteracy among the negroes has de-
creased from 80 per cent in 1860 to s.
per cent In 1910. The illiteracy among

WILLIAM YouMAN SLOWLY RE-
COVERING FROM EFFECTS
OF MINE BLAST

Advices received today from the
Miners hospital state that Richard
Youman. OF Tripod Dick" as he is
better known, is recovering from the
effects OF a blast he received last
week at lone. Youman was severely
blasted about the face and chest
when he picked into a piece OF pow
der in hole that failed to ex-
plode.
One eye has been lost completely,
but the sight of the remaining optic
will be saved, although it appeared
for a time that the veteran miner
and prospector would lose his eye
sight completely. II may be possible
that Youman will be taken to San
Francisco to undergo treatment at
the hands of an eye specialist, but
should his condition continue to inn
prove as it has in the last few days,
the journey will not be taken.
Matron Coons at the hospital,
stated today that she did not look
for any further i'll results in Mr..
Youmans case.

A HONE. MADE SEED TESTER.
iowa Farmers, Test Ycur Seed Corn
This Year of All Years.

After thorough investigation OF
conditions, the farm cGop experts at
Iowas agricultural college say that
much of the corn harvested Last fall
will make poor seed. At the time of
the junior corn show and contests
during the. short course the college
tested hundreds of samples from all
sections Of the state and large pro-
portion of it was Of low vitality and
weak in termination. Some good
looking samples showed only 10 per
cent of terminating strength.
To test seed corn no elaborate OF
expensive apparatus is necessary.
The cloth roll method, devised by a
successful southern Iowa farmer, has
proved successful in many tests at
the college and in actual use Of,
farms. This is how this method is
used:
Buy several yards of strong, close
ly woven muslin or sheeting and tear
into strips eight inches wide and
about four feet long. Each will take
care of about thirty-two ears of corn
in the testing. Soak these cloths
thoroughly in hot water, take them
out one at time and then spread
them out smoothly on a board or
table near the corn that is to be
tested.
The corn should be laid out in rows
and the ears numbered so that each
ear may be readily identified. Take
six kernels from each ear, one on
each side from but, middle and tip,
and lay it near the ear to which it
belongs.
Then you are ready to put the ker-
nels in the cloth roll tester. Spread
one of the strips Of cloth out smooth
ly. Take the six kernels from ear
No. and place them together about
two inches from the edges at the up
per left hand corner Of the cloth, the
cloth being spread out the long way
before the operator. Take the kerr
nels from ear No. 2 and place them
two inches from the edges at the
lower left hand corner. The kernels
from ear No. 8 are placed three
inches to the right of No. | kernels,
those from ear No. A three inches to
the right Of No. 2 kernels, and so on
to within two inches of the extreme
right edge of the cloth strip. The
odd numbered kernels will all be at
the upper side, the even at the lower
side. When the cloth has been filed
thus, mark the number of the last

KNOX RECEIVED IN HONDURAS
OFFICIALS TRAVEL FIVE DAYS TO
GREET VISITOR.
Secretary Of State Says Republic 10
Key to Central American
Peace.

Acajutla Sal, March 11.--American
Secretary of State Philander C. Knox
and party arrived in the republic OF
Salvador from Honduras. The secre-
tary later proceeded to San Salvador.
The visit to Honduras was marred
somewhat by the fact that it was
found impossible to proceed to Tegu-
cigalpa the capital. A party of Is
prominent citizens, including members
of the cabinet, the chief justices and
members of parliament. came to ANA
pala from Tegucigalpa, a round trip
of five days by mule, in order to have
luncheon with the American secretary.
This function was held in the customs
house. which formerly was the strong
hold of the revolutionary general, Jose
Valladares.
The president of the republic, Gen.
eral Bonilla. who is seriously i'll, was
unable to be present. but sent a cor
dial message The minister of foreign
affairs. Mariana VasqueZ. eulogized

The secretary. in reply, said:

motion of peace in Honduras. The de-
sire of my government is to promote a

Now the cloth and kernels are

crosswise all the time and rolling
firmly and gently. With very little
practice the rolling can be completed
without misplacing any Of the ker

If the kernels from thirty two
ears went into the first roll, then the
next roll will be started with No. SO
and it will be filled just as the first
cloth was filled, the odd numbered
kernels on the upper side, the even
on the lower and the numbers run
ming from left to right
When a dozen or fifteen rolls have
been prepared, put them in wooden
bucket or tub and cover them with
warm water. Lot them soak from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours. de-
pending upon the temperature of the
water. Then drain the rolls by re
moving them from the water and
putting them in another bucket or
tub. After this, merely keep the
rolls moist and warm by covering
them with cloths that are kept moist.
When the sprouts begin to appear at
the ends of the rolls, the test is ready
to be completed. Open one roll at a
time. placing the numbered end ct
the right hand side of the table or
bench or board and unrolling toward
the left. Do it carefully and the
kernels will keep the positions in
which they were first placed. The
number Of the kernels at the lower
right hand corner having been noted
then the numbers of the others can
be determined very readily. AS the
kernels show good terminating quail
tiles or poor, select or reject the ears
from which they came.
This test is cheap and it is efficient
and it is convenient.
