Returns from Alfalfa Tract.

Pierre.-A Howes, whose farm is
near old Rouccea, about fifteen miles
down the river from this city, is
'figgerin' just how much alfalfa has
been worth to him the past year,
and has found that his return from
a twenty acre tract, in hay and seed
foots up to $2,652. or $l32.6 so an acre
for the return of a mighty dry year.
Seed men of the northwest have found
that alfalfa seed raised in this part
of the state tests up to all their re-
quirements. and the seed product of
the alfalfa fields of Hughes county are
always in demand from these dealers,
and no raiser need hun a market, as
the market zones to him. While Mr.
Howes has made a good showing
probably a little better tina the aver
age, the alfalfa grower of this o,n
ty who cannot show up 500 in the
acre for each year is getting a small
showing.

In Capturing Ten
Escaped Prisoners
(speciaI Dispatch 10 The Journal)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
OCILLA. Ca, Sept. 6.-Short1y before
day Thursday morning eleven prisoners
made their escape from the Irwin coun-
ty Jail. They used an iron pipe to prize
off bolts from the cage door and passed
out through the roof and down to the
ground by fastening several blankets
together and suspending them from the
roof to the ground. They are all ne
groes. Two were in for arson, one for
assault to murder and eight for misde-
meanors.
A pointer dog in the yard aroused
Sheriff w. A. Tucker, who was at the
time sleeping on the first floor, by
barking, and when the sheriff reached
the yard all the prisoners had escaped
from the building but were in the yard
together. part of them made an eff
fort to run, but only one, in for nlisde-
meanor, made his escape, and he is
supposed to be wounded by shot from
the sheriff, as he, fell to the ground
when fired upon.
Three others who made a break to
get away received wounds, but not sup
posed to be serious. On emptying his
pistol at the first firing, the sheriffs
wife boldly came to his assistance with
a newly loaded pistol, and prevented
others from making safe their getaway.
without other aid the sheriff marched
the ten prisoners hack to their cells,
while the lone one to get away is still
at large.
The wounded are being cared for at
the jail by the county physician, and
the doctor reports that neither is NOR
tally wounded, as the shots took effect
in limbs and none in the bodies.

Especial Dispatch to The JournalO

Especial Dispatch to The Journa'O
MACON Ga, Sept. 6.-Citizens living
near the railroad lines leading in and
out of the city and those who reside
near the railroad yards are drawing up
a petition to present to council, asking
that it be violation Of the city ordi-
nance for locomotives to blow their
whistles inside the city limits at night.
They claim in the petition that during
these hot nights they nave been forced
to lie awake nearly every night because
of the screaming whistles of the loco
motives.
One denizen charges in a letter to
Mayor Moore that one night of this
week locomotive engineer began to
blow his whistle at midnight and after
running the gamut of all the signals
known by engineers. he began to play
with the whistle. He declared that he
tried to initiate the COW believing, the
jackas braying, the horse whinnying. the
lion roaring, the yelping Of hit dog and
the scream of the hyena. Such a dis
turbance was branded by him as a
nuisance and should be stopped by the
passage of an ordinance prohibiting
such.

Gas Is NeU to Albany
and Cooks Refuse to
Use the Ghost Fire

, Especial Dispatch to The JournaD
ALBANY, Ca, Sept. 7.-Since gas has
besu turned on in a number Of Albany
homes, FOLLOWING the completion of the
new municipal gas plant, it has devel-
oped that mortal terror exists among
some of the cooks. who have refused to
have anything to do with the gas
stoves. In one home. where an old ne
gro woman has been cooking for fifteen
years, the mistress of the house has
been politely but emphatically informed
that as soon as the gas is turned on in
that house she is going to leave from
there"
In the home of Secretary Eugene B.
Adams, OF the Albany chamber of COM
merce. there was great commotion when
the gas was turned on. The cook at first
refused to touch the stove, but finally
was persuaded to get close enough for
Mrs. Adams to show her how to light
the gas. AS sometimes happens there
was enough air in the pipes to cause a
loud report when the match was touched
10 the burner, and the cook, emitting a
loud yell, ran like a scared rabbit
through the house TO the front porch.
Finally she was persuaded to return
10 the kitchen, but Mrs. Adams had to
cook most of the breakfast herself. At
dinner, after the rice had been put on.
II boiled over, and the resultant kissing
and sputtering noise so frightened the
woman that she ran out the back door,
through the back yard and up the alley
Mrs. Adams sent Mr.. Adams after her,
and he succeeded in bringing the trem-
bling cook back again. She was shown
how to turn the gas down low, so that
the rice would not boil over, but she
turned 1T down just a little too low and
II went out with a loud pop" That
settled IL. There was a loud scream. A
swish of calico and-goodby, cook.

Praotics what You PreaohI
Keep INCREASINGLY at It.


Talking about practicing what you
preach and keeping everlastingly at It;
T. J. Brooks. OF Tennessee. IS the fell
low who believes in doing exactly that
thing.
Brooks has been preaching Rural
Economies and intelligent marketing
for these many years and has been try
ing TO instin into the minds of not only
the farmers generally, this very impor-
tant subject. but has endeavored to
teach the farmers boys alsO--but thar
has been a task. No college of agri-
culture had such a chair-there were
no text books to be found which dealt
even remotely with subject: so Brooks
is writing a textbook himself, and he
not only expects to teach from 1t. but
expects IL or some other to be used In
the near future by every agricultural
college in the country.
When G.. X. Hightower, ex-president
OF the Mississippi State Farmers union
was elected president Of the A. g. NJ.
College Of Mississippi he sent for
Brooks. Brooks he said" that matter
of teaching marketing and rural econ
omics in the agricultural colleges over
which we have talked. is about to be
put into actual effect.
1--WE will establish chair in the uni
versity here and you will have charge
Of il.
a department of this kind is what
is needed in every college of the coun-
try. and they will eventually have it,
replied Brooks.
So the A. & NJ. College Of Mississippi
will have a department Of marketing
and rural economics the first of the
kind ever established by any college
in the world-and I. j. Brooks viii
be in charge.
