A Brooklyn policeman arrested n
man for biting his hand. The man
swore he was only kissing 1t. AS no
mark was on the hand. the magis.
trate decided that the policeman must
prove the difference between a kiss
and bite, to the end OF determining
whether gracious acknowledgment OF
homage paid or Pasteur treatment was
in order. This problem certainly beats
the record.

The latest Paris fashions are no
doubt interesting to the women be-
cause they can discern in every de-
tail a gentle purpose. To them every
picture Of a fashion has some inter
esting detail But to men they ali
look alike. There is no details about
them, no belts, no fringe, no lace, no
braids, no loops, no ribbons, and none
of the particulars that women notice
with deep interest. To man there is
no difference in the fashion from day
to day or week to week, but in the
course of months or years lie may no.
tice the difference in the general from.
For instance, he Will notice that the
full skirt has departed and buttoning
up the back has arrived. but the lat
ter, of course, is not to be attributed
TO his keenness OF observation. These
daily glimpses OF the latest from Paris
suggest the wide difference between
the mans and the womans world. A
man would see more interest in a fish
ing tackle than in the handsomest
gown from Paris; but to a woman the
latter would be a world of delight
full curiosity, while she would turn
with disgust from the tackle and all
the fish 1t caught.

WHAT COTTON TO PLANT
IN WEEVlL TERRITORY
e. j. II. DeLoach, Professor Cotton
Industry.

Query-What variety or varieties
are most resistant to the boil wee
Fil?
No accepted conclusion has ever
been reached that there is variety
resistant to the weevil.
The big boil, early fruiting varieties
are best, not because of early flower,
ing, but because OF the qnickness in
maturing from flower to fruit. The
advantage of the short period from
flower to fruit is that the forage Pc
Rod of the weevil is thus reduced. 1t
eats only the cotton boil and lives
only six or seven months. By reduc-
ing the forage period to the briefest
possible time, the greater the proba-
bilities of starving the weevil.
The hot suns rays kill the weevil
and the okra leaf variety has been
especially recommended because the
sun light penetrates the plant thor
oughly. Rows planted north and
south, allowing the suns rays to fall
directly between, are an advantage for
this reason.

Atlanta WOman's Club

Atlanta, Feb. 14.-If you were
a young man, looking around
among Atlanta buds for a possible
bride, would you pick a girl who
could paint landscapes, play
piano and speak French, or would
you choose young girls who could
make biscuits and beds, and WELD
a dust-brush?
Which kind of a girl really
trings a man happiness9 That is
the thing the Atlanta Woman's
club is trying to figure out v tn
the idea, if the domestic girl Is
really the one young men are
yearning for, of furnishing prac-
tical training for girls in the re-
sponsibilities Of home keepers.
From The viewpoint of mere
man there seems no essential
reason why the same girl should
not be able to play CHOPIN divine
ly and also broil lamb-chops divine
ly, but mellow the same girl
never does.

Fleeing From Justice
Negro Meets Death
Archie Fuller Jumps From
Moving Train and is
Killed.

Archie Fuller, the negro who
broke into Rogers Pawn Shop IN
December and subsequently broke
out of the County Jail, met his
death Wednesday night when he
Jumped from moving train in an
effort to evade arrest.
Officer Charley Dixon went over
to Triton Wednesday afternoon to
bring prisoner to Fitzgerald and
on his return that night, Fuller
boarded the train at Mystic. Fuller
rode on the platform until the
train was about half-mile out of
Mystic, when he entered took a
seat near the door. Mr.. Dixon
recognized him and started toward
him with the hand cuffs but the
negro also recognized the officer
and made dash for liberty. He
jumped from the train which was
going thirty miles an hour and it
was not known what had become
of him until the Thomasvllle train
going down yesterday morning
found him in an unconscious state,
hung up in the stock-gap, where
he landed when he jumped from
the train the night before. OH Ger
Dixon was notified and went to
Mystic yesterday afternoon, but
Fuller died few minutes before
he arrived on the scene. He never
regained consciousness.

House and Senate Concur;
Anti-Liquor Bill Law
Homemade Booze the Only
Refuge of Blind Tiger.

The Webb bill, prohibiting the
shipment Of whiskey into dry
territory passed the House and
Senate and will be signed by the
President. Its provisions go into
effect July 1, and will greedy aid
the state authorities in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law.
The purpose of the Webb bill
was set forth in the following ex-
tract from the recent report OF
the Committee on the Judiciary,
which recommended its enact
ment:
"This bill, if enacted into law,
would permit the state officers,
under such circumstances, to
seize liquor under a proper war
rant and try it upon the question
of whether it was intended to be
used in violation of the laws Of
the state, and if the jury should
find that it was so intended. the
delivery to the consignee would
be prevented and the liquor con-
fiscated. Surely there can be no
objection to such a law. This
bill might well be styled a local
option act to give the various
states the power to control the
liquor traffic as to them may seem
best. It would remove the
shackles of interstate commerce
law from the action of the states
and discontinue the handicap un-
der which they now labor, in en-
forcing their police regulations,
and leave them freer to break up
the blind tigers" and boot
leggers' that infest dry states. :"
Savannah's nearly 300 dealers in
NEAR BEER" etc., are keeping an
eye on the progress Of the anti
liquor legislation, in Congress,
and incidentally they are hoping
the last few days Of this session
will be so busy measures of this
sort will be crowded into the dis
card.
A peculiarly Of the bill which
has excited considerable comment
is the omission of a penalty
clause" Provision is made for
the confscation of liquor shipped
in violation of the proposed act,
but no punishment is provided.

UNSOUND FEED.
w. M. Burson, Professor Veterinary
Science.

Numerous reports have been receiy-
ed from various parts of the state
of the death of horses and mules OF
a disease known in some section
as meningitis" in others blind
staggers' and in others as stomach
staegers." Symptoms usually re-
ported are loss of appetite, dull
ness, sleepiness, blindness; IN
many instances a staggering gait and
great bodily weakness, and in some
instances fits during which they rear,
plunge and struggle violently. Death
often occurs in from "a to As hours.
These troubles are caused mostly
by poisonous molds such as may oc-
cur on low pasture lands or hay fod-
der and grain. The molds cause de-
struction of nerve tissues and few
cases recover without early expert
medical attention.
Avoid trouble by closely watching
the feed supply, both grain and rough
age and provide fresh, clean water.
At the first sign of the disease call
a veterinarian. If none is to be had,
give salts or linseed oil and large and
frequent doses of salt-peter. Cold, wet
packs applied to the head are some
times beneficial. Moldy feeds are
injurious to all kinds of live stock.
