GOVERNOR EXPERIMENTS.
Cotton Stalks Stripped by Hail Gives
Him an Idea.

From an idea suggested by a hall
storm in Macon county last summer
Governor Brown may revolutioniZe
cotton production in the South. He
is now conducting experiments on his
farm at Cherokee to see if scarcity
of leaves results in abundance of cot
ton, and, if the results are as expect
ed, he will materially increase his
annual yield of cotton.
Last year a hail storm beat the
cotton of Macon county so severely
that most of the leaves were stripped
from the stalks. AS result all but
two farmers plowed the cotton up
and substituted corn. These two,
brothers, let the cotton stand and
were amazed to find in the fall that
the yield they obtained was the lar
gest they had ever had.
So, the governor is going to have
part of his cotton stripped to see If
the same results are obtained.

The supreme court of the United
States has set aside the decree of the
supreme court of Gorgia, which en-
joined negro men from Incorporating
a lodge in this state under the name
of Knights of Pythias. Chief Justice
White announced the opinion. JUS
tice Holmes announced a dissenting
opinion.
Chief Justice White, after reason
ing that the supreme court as fed
eraI tribunal had jurisdiction to re-
view the case, said that there was
not scintilla of evidence in the
record to show that the public had
been deceived or property rights of
the white order interfered with by
the existence of the colored order for
twenty vars in Georgia.
Justice Lurton concurred in JUS

MAY SEEK SEAT IN UNITED STATES SENATE

portunity at one time to get rid of
Gov. Brown had they wanted to do it.
When he made his second race
against Hoke Smith for governor he
announced in positive terms that, if
elected, he would ask nothing furth-
er politically from the people of the
state.
They didn't take him up, but at
that time elected Mr.. Smith thereby
relieving the governor from his
pledge.
Now, it is but natural that having
served twice as governor Joe Brown
should seek to follow further in the
footsteps of his distinguished father,
who after having served several
terms as governor of the state went
to the United States senate from
Georgia.
Gov. Brown himself never men,
tons the subject and only smiles
when it is brought to his attention.
That he would like to go to the Unit
ed States. senate there can be no
question; that he would appreciate
going as Senator Smiths successor is
still more certain.
Of course, now, the 1914 PROPOSE
ton is eclipsed By the presidential
and state races, which are right at
1 hand, but in year or so there is
little question that it will loom big
enough on the horizon.
1t does not appear that Senator A.
o. Bacon is going to have any ma
terial trouble in the coming primary.
Thos. E. Watson, who would, per-
haps. have given him more worry
than anyone else who has been men
toned in connection with the con-
test this year, has gotten out of it,
whether because of his little tilt with
the federal court or for other rea-
sons is not definitely known.
This leaves only Hon. H. H. Perry
of Gainesville in the fight against
Senator Bacon, and so far as can be
discerned Mr.. Perry has not even
ruf1ed the waters. He has publish
ed a few lengthy advertisements pre-
senting his reasons for opposing Sen
ator Bacon, but the length Of them
has precluded anything like gener-
al perusaI. 1t may be accepted as
quite probable that more than 70 per
cent of the voters of Georgia do not
even know that Perry is in the race.

PROVIDES FOR HIS ENEMIES
DYING MAN DOES SOMETHING
THAT'S OUT OF THE USUAL.
Fatally Wounded He Sees That the
Family of His AssaiIant Are
Supplied With Food.

GOREE, Texas.-With an express
ed wish that the family of the man
who assaulted and stabbed him be
provided for Dr. j. r. Smith, rich
land owner, of Munday attacked
Saturday by S. M. Lilies, tenant on
one of his farms, lies in critical
condition in Fort Worth hospital.
When DR.. Smith regained con-
sciouness Monday he ordered provis-
ions sent to the family of Lilies, who
is in jail, and the physician requested
that in case of his death or a long
illness arrangements should be made
to care for the family of his assail-
ant.
Friends of DIR. Smith point to his
action in this regard as Characteristic
of his life since he chose Texas as
his home years ago.
He has travelled over the county
roads day and night caring for the
sick, investing his savings in lands.
Because of his kindness and atten-
ton to his practice he became known
as The Friend of the Poor Man"
Today he owns more than eight
thousand acres of land in this sec
ton, but he has never given up the
practice of medicine Five years ago
he removed to Munday, and has de-
voted much of his time to develop
ing that town and the surrounding
country.
The assault on DR.. Smith followed
a dispute over rental contract. The
physician received nine knife wounds
on the back, neck and face. Lilies is
in jail at Benjamin.

MT. Cafi'rey said Saturday that he ! had noticed in his walks about the city | that there are many browntail's $ nests on trees, but the nests do not appear to
 be anywhere as numerous as last year, showing the effectiveness or the work done at that time.
 The trees along Elm street, however, continue to be the worst affected ol any in this section. These will receive serupulous attention that they may be saved, the trees being among the most beautiful to be found in town.
 Over in Woodstock trees in apple or chards are also carrying nests, il Is learned, and this town will receive spe- eial scrutiny from the moth brigade.
 The work covering five Windham county towns will be directed from Putnam.
