DOES pYNANnTING REALLY AID?
From the Americas Times-Recorder

From the Americas Times-RecOrde1
Governor Brown is out in an inter-
esting statement about the results
of his use of dynamite on his Chero-
kee county farm. On ground broken
by this explosive he raised 106 bush
els of corn to the acre, where the for
mer yields had been but % bushels.
Naturally Governor Brown concludes
from this that dynamite, at an aver
age cost of SO to the acre, pays the
farmer, especially as the dynamiting
need not be repeated for three or
four years.
The theory of dynamiting the soil
seems to be a sound one. 1t breaks
up the soil for several feet below the
surface, enabling the rains to peue-
trate it and furnish reserve from
which the plants can draw moisture
in a dry season, while giving an out
let for water in rainy spells and over
coming the evil effects of too much
precipitation.
But The Dawson News, some weeks
ago. published the results achieved
by farmer in Terrell county, who
dynamited one field and planted ii
with corn and worked another field
--ithout dynamiting. On both fields
he used the same fertilizer and gave
to each the same attention The
yield for each was very heavy, but
that from the field not dynamited was
the larger.
This question of dynamiting seems
/ to be still and open one. The Terrell
county man went about the solving
of it in the right way. Perhaps it
would be a good idea for our Third
District Agricultural College to take
! two ten-acre fields the coming sea-
son, work them exactly the same,
except as to dynamiting one, and give
the farmers hereabouts the results
Under Superintendent Columns d.
rection this would really be an au-
thoritative one and possess especial
value as a guide.

GREAT GoBs OF HARMONY.

The recent endorsement by Brother
Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton and Brother Tom Loyless of the
Augusta Chronicle of Brother Dick
Gray of the Atlanta Journal for a
place in the presidents cabinet caus-
ed The News to suggest that the po-
litical millennium was near, But
now comes Brother Gray and gives
us a still greater shock by presenting
Governor Joe Brown with an edito-
rial something that even
the oldest inhabitant' had never
before known to occur. Here it is:
Governor Browns acceptance of
the appointment rendered him as
chairman of the Atlanta chamber
Of commerce committee of one hun
dred democrats to organize numer-
GUS and creditable representation
from Georgia at Washington on in
auguration day reflects the earnest
ness with which the governor eX-
presses his commentator OF the
patriotic movement. The position
of chairman of that committee is
going to be no mere honorary IL
tie. 1t viii involve work-for the
task that the committee will have in
hand is a tremendous one, almost
appalling in its mass of detail The
Journal congratulates the chamber
of commerce upon having received
the acceptance of Governor Brown;
and it congratulates Governor
Brown upon his active interest in
great hour of democracy.
Now, that's getting together some.

lead in prayer, and Brother Hoke
Smith lift the doxology,

At the convention of the United
Daughters OF the Confederacy held in
Washington a few days ago a reso-
luton was adopted extending the GUS
tom of bestowing crosses of honor
to confederate veterans. 1t had been
previously announced that after this
convention no more crosses would be
distributed by the Daughters, but it
developed that great many veter-
ans, who have never affiliated with
veterans camps, have not yet been
supplied with these emblems of hon
or, and for this reason the convention
voted to continue the custom.

The five hundred thousand dollars
appropriated at the last session of
congress for the Improvement of roads
will be distributed equitably among
the states that cooperate with the

question has been under discussion
by the cabinet and it has been agreed
that the amount shall be allotted
among all the states on the basis of
ten thousand dollars to each state
that agrees to spend on its part TWEEN
ty thousand dollars. 1t is anticipated
that a number of states will not be
able to raise the required amount.

The fat-fed Fulton officials are de-
flying the legislative act to make pub
lie the affairs of their offices. They
no doubt regard the new law as an
unwarranted interference with their
private rights, says the Macon News.
The fee system is a pernicious way
of paying public officials, and there is
reason to believe Georgia will soon
see the last of it. 1t has greatly in
creased the expenses of the courts.
There have been many prosecutions
and convictions that would never
have been heard of but for the court
fees they were expected to yield.

NATURES SIGNS OF RAIN.
n tho utica IN. W Globe,

From the Utica IN. Y.) Globe.
Many happenings in nature, are in
dicative Of wet weather. Rain may
be expected when any Of the follow
ing things take place:
When the perfume Of flowers is
unusually noticeable, because damp
weather conveys the odor of flowers
more effectively.
When swallows fly low. because
the swallows live on insects that fly
low when the upper stratas of air
are moist.
When ducks and geese dash water
on their backs, because by wetting
the outer coats of feathers before a
rain they prevent the drops from pen
etrating through the pen feathers
to their bodies,
When horses and cattle stretch
out their necks and sniff the air.
They smell the increasing fragrance
preceding a rain storm.
When spiders hide, because they
know wet weather will drive flies
away and their webs will not snare
any food
When wild flowers and many plants
close, because they are very sensi-
tive and fold their petals to protect
the stamen from the raindrops.

An unusual case came up for trial
in Fayette court last week, and the
result is a warning to tax receivers
not to stuff" their digests by listing
property not returned by the tax pay
er. The tax receiver of that county
included cotton of the value of $4,000
in the sworn schedule of property re-
turned by tax payer, but without
the tax PAYERS knowledge or consent.
The law provides a penalty of 500
for such acts, it seems, and the ag-
grieved tax payer sued the tax re-
ceiver for the full amount of the pen
atty. The jury decided that the
tax payer had a just grievance, and
promptly returned verdict against
the offending official.
