THAT STATE GAME LAW.

From the Cuthbert Leader.
We agree with The Dawson News
that the present game law is de-
fective in several respects. Our con-
temporary says: Whether intended
or not it has been in the interest of
the man with leisure and pump
gun and a pedigreed dog. 1t has
been made practically impossible for
the masses of the people, vast ma
jority of whom do not hunt, and some
are too busy to do so, to have and
enjoy game of any kind"

GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

Two carloads of bauxite were
shipped from Sumter county to a
large manufacturing firm in st. Louis
last week. Rich deposits of bauxite,
which is largely used in the manu-
facture of aluminium and the lining
of furnaces exposed to intense heat,
have been found in Sumter. Labora-
tory tests of the Sumter product have
proven good and $50, 900 was paid
by a st. Louis firm for 1000 acres

Benien Should Do Better.

From the Abel News.
The Dawson News and MOultrie
Observer appear to believe that the
talk of the school teachers of the
state not getting their pay promptly
is political clap-trap, stating that the
teachers of Colquitt and Terrell have
always received their pay promptly
from the county boards. In some
counties it is true that they have
been paid promptly, but in many 9TH
ers they have not Jared so we'll. In
Berrien, for instance, they have some
times gone for almost a year without
getting any part of their money.

Senate Document No 800, sixty-se-s
cond Congress, "a session, entitled
g Sugar at a Glance, !" graph icaIly sets
forth most remarkable and monu-
mental folly on the part of the Ameri-
can farmers. The document, prepar-
ed by Truman G. Palmer, embraces 81
large pages and besides a number Of
photogravure illustrations it makes
use of ~ charts to drive home in an.
impressive manner a number of start
ling truths.
For instance, Chart No. 40 pictures
to the eye the prodigality of American
farmers in dissipating their soil fertil-
ity, and contrasts this foolishpess
with the wise frugality and thrift OF
the German farmers in constantly
building up the fertility and produc-
tivity of their lands
This chart shows that in 1909 Amer
lean farmers exported wheat, cotton
seed meal and linseed meal to the val
ue of $93 ,203 ,226 and imported foreign
raw sugar to the amount of s93,379,-

this $93, 3,2O3,226 worth of wheat, cot

cipal elements of soil fertility, which
they had taken from the soil upon
which they grew; while the $93,379,-

removed to this city to reside, and en-
gagged in the livery business. In 1909
he was elected alderman-at-large in
this city but in the early part of 1911
resigned the Office. During his resi-
dence here he was engaged in the liv-
cry business but in the spring of the
present year sold out to Olaf Ramstad

ANTHRACITE A LUXURY -

Anthracite coal was at one time an
important factor in blast-furnace prac-
tice, but it's use in that line of indus
try has now almost entirely ceased,
according to E. W. Parker, of the
United States Geological Survey, as it
has been supplanted by coke made
from bituminous COAL The principal
demand for anthracite will be in the
future, as it has been in the more re.
cent past, restricted largely to domes-
tic trade, for which such sizes as fur
mace, egg, stove, and chestnut are re-
CURED The breaking down of the
lump coal, which was formerly a mar
ketable product, for the preparation
of the domestic sizes results in a
much larger proportion of the small
or undesirable sizes, all of which are
sold at less than the cost Of produc-
tion. All the profits on the mining
operations must be obtained from the
prepared domestic sizes, for the reve-
nue. obtained from the smaller sizes,
which are sold largely in competition
with bituminous coal for steaming
purposes, serves only to reduce the
cost of the domestic sizes. The condi-
tions under which the anthracite
mines are operated, the greater depth
to which the workings are carried,
the consequent increased expense Of
mining, and the increasing cost of la
Dor all contribute to make anthracite
fuel more and more a luxury.
/ During recent years the anthracite
operators have adopted the policy Of
making an allowance Of so cents per
ton from circular prices for domestic
coal purchased in April Of each year,
with an advance Of 10 cents per ton
for each succeeding. month until the
schedule prices are restored in Sep.
. tember. This has had more salutary
effect in steadying the anthracite
trade than any other action taken by
i those controlling the anthracite indus
| try. It's purpose is to encourage the
I purchase Of coal in the spring and
early summer, making the cellars d
the consumers the storage places FOL
the following winter, and at the same
]. time to-cause the mines to be operat
led more regularly, thus giving steadi
er employment to employees through
out the year
