In the land behind the freight
There is many a golden dream
When the blaze is leaping upward
And the bright Goals are agleam,
And once more the day thats van

In the land behind the freight
There's farmhouse on the hill;
There's happy family gathered
Tho cup of cheer to FIJI;
And in fancy I'm youngster
With my young heart all a-thrill
in the land behind the freight
All, the blaze is burning low
Just simmer and glimmer
Marks the ashes as they glow,
But from the embers peeps the face

What Boys Have Done With Corn
The Men of Georgia Can Do
President Andrew M. Soule.

Fifty-nine boys of Chattooga county
averaged AZ bushels of corn to the
acre and $50 profit per acre. In Polk
county 27 boys averaged 62 bushels
per acre and $46.13 per acre profit.
In Tattnall county 81 boys averaged
$29 per acre. Floyd county boys av-
eraged $3.50 profit per acre. Whit
field boys $4102 per acre. Paulding
S4194 per acre. Cherokee $4499,
HARRISON $45.S3, Pickens $3672, Gil
mer SO, Decatur 1851, Muscogee
$3.50, Carroll 1894, Walker $6639,
Meriwether $42.80, Barlow $34S9.
Thus the figures might be given for
a long list of counties. They are au-
thentic figures, compiled with great
care.
If the boys can do so well. why
not the men? If greater profits are
to be made by extra care and fertiliz-
er, why, then, not extra care and fer
tilizer? The secret of the boys sue
cess is that they have adopted mod
ern methods of seed selection, fertili-
cation and cultivation. But it is no

These boys have been taught how

fer the term. Those who may have

he faces such results. Naturally the
College of Agriculture will point with
pride to the corn club results as one
of the demonstrations of its useful
ness as an institution.
1t is the purpose to enlarge corn
clubs and girls canning club work,
and thus light beacon fires of advanc-
ed agriculture in every nook and cor
ner of Georgia. The United States
government stands ready to supple

would seem the part of wisdom to
make sure of all the funds to be OBJ
tanned from the government for such
an immensely practical work.

WHAT COTTON TO PLANT
IN WEEVlL TERRITORY
r. j. H. DeLoach, Professor Cotton
Industry.

Query-What variety or varieties
are most resistant to the boil wee
ell?
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 quickness in
maturing from flower to fruit The
advantage of the short period from
flower to fruit is that the forage pc
riod 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 hriefest
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.

NEW USEFULNESS FOR REPUBLI-

(St, Louis Globe-Democrat. RepD
A new career of usefulness may be
opening for the Republican party
When Cleveland won his overwhelm-
ing victory in 1898, and Government
controlled in all its branches by the
Democrats for the first time since
Buchanan's election in 1856 went into
power, many Republicans imagined
that their organization was cast into
eclipse for a generation Right at the
outset in his extra session, however,
Cleveland was compelled to appeal to
the Republicans to aid him in carrying
out the policy which the session was
called to enact. And the Republicans
responded promptly and heartily. Thus
a Congress which wanted more silver
legal-tender currency was coerced in
to prohibiting all further growth in
that element of the circulation. For
this important work the Republican
minority in Congress deserved credit,

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION SOON

Each resident and citizen of Ameri-
Gus should be alive to the opportunity
that will be afforded him at the close
of the month to do.his full duty by the
local educational system in the casting
of ballot for school bonds.
Under the call for the new bond ell
ection, that election will be held
March 81. That is the day when the
voters of Americas may come out u
the polls and vote for one of the great
est improvements that any city NAV
secure for itself, an enlarged and i'm.

The call for the bond election states
briefly and clearly the conditions UNI
der which it is to be held This cali
is being pcblished in the Weekly
Times-Recorder each week. 1t is the
duty of every voter to study closely
the conditions under which the election
is to be held and the purpose for which
the money desired is sought to be ex-
pended.
! No one can vote intelligently in A
bond election unless the purposes fol-
which such an election is to be held
are thoroughly understood If every
citizen of Americas who is entitled t.
vote in the election will take the trou-
BILE to understand the conditions of the
election it would seem that not an on.
posing vote would be registered
against bonds The need of them is
imperative, because the schools of the
city are suffering for lack of funds.
Let every citizen of Americas take
an active interest in the matter of the
bond election. 1t is one of the mos;

PREPARING FOR SCARCITY IN
TIME OF PLENTY

Every farmer in Sumter county
should be thoroughly alive to the
menace that is involved in the coming
of the boil weevil Now is the time for
each farmer to learn of this pest that
so vitality affects the principal crop
grown here. 1t is well to prepare for
this trouble before it comes, for the
farmers of this county and throughout
the entire state are constantly being
warned, as in this editorial from the
Atlanta Journal:
Though the boil weevil travels on'y
some fifty or hundred miles a year, ii
travels surely and woe to the land
when it arrives! A year ago this de-
structive cotton pest was reported tu
be just across the Georgia line in Ala
bama. BY every token, then. it may be
expected early this spring in the
southwestern counties of the state.
The peril is increased by the fact
that the past winter has been excep-
tionally mild So that the weevil IS
likely to move and to multiply more
rapidly. All these circumstances call
for prompt and thoroughgoing meas
ures of protection
Fortunately, Georgia has been pre-
pairing against the boil weeyil for sew
eral years past. It's depredations in
Texas and in other neighboring states
furnished fair warning. A campaign
of education has been steadily in pro
gress; means for curbing or counter
acting the parasite have been demon
strated. 1t only remains, therefore,
for the individual farmer to apply the
precautions which are available.
State Entomologist Worsham, with
his usual foresight and energy has
planned series of meetings to be held
this week in the threatened districts.
Cotton clubs have been formed and
every effort is being made to organize
the farmers in behalf of their inter
ests which are so vitality at stake.
The inroads of the boil weevil can
not be checked, it seems. but its harm
full effects can be minimized, if not en-
tireiy averted, BY prompt and cooper
ative action
A menace to Georgias agricultural
interests concerns the states emit e
commercial life; wherefore it behooves
men in every pursuit to lend such aid
as they can to the timely fight against
this dangerous pest.

TAFT A GREAT PRESIDENT

(Charles Dewey Hilles in Leslie's)
Courage, simplicity directness and
fidelity to high ideals were the chief
characteristics of William Howard
Tafts administration of the Presidency
of the United States. He was every
inch a President The quality of his
patriotism is pure. If he were some
thing less the political leader it was
only that he might be President of all
the people in the truest sense of the
word. Whenever in our national life
there has been need of a particular
type of man for the chief magistracy
that man has been forthcoming. The
nation had need of a President of Mr.
Taft's judicial temperament. He full
filled his mission, and if he suffered a
trying political defeat it was due to
faithful performance of his duty to the
oft-proven inability of the people to
appreciate really great man until
time has enabled them to get a per-
spective on his personality and achieG-
ement That President Taft has been
great in defeat few will refuse to con-
cede. Those who have enjoyed the ad-
vantage of close association with him,
the opportunity of knowing his mot
ives and ideals and of judging of his
achievements know he has been great
throughout his administration

AMERICAN MEN POOR LOVERS
That is Why Women of This Country
Wed Foreigners

paris Dispatch to New York Times'f
Miss Marie Van Worst, in volume
lust published entitled The Pursuit o.
Happiness in the United States asks
the question, why do American girls
prefer European husbands" and
answers that the fault lies with the
American man.
"As lover" she says, the Ameri-
can appears to the least advantage. He
lacks audacity. AS a child he is under
the domination of his mother and sis
tiers. A school mistress demonstrates
to him female superiority, and later in
life, no matter to what class of society
he belongs, his education is directed by
women. He has learned how to shape
and control his destiny, but has not yet
learned how to dominate the heart of a
woman"
A wealthy girl from the United
States, Miss Van Worst says, is quick
to discover that the men she meets in
European society are more cultured
and refined than the business men at
home. and their titles fascinate her.
She knows her father will not be en-
thusiastic over her marriage to a
European and anticipates his objection
thus: Darling papa, you brought me
up like a princess, but in America
there are no princes, so what was l
to do?"
At a dinner in Washington in honor
of a member of one of the oldest hou5-
es in Europe, who was about to wed 4
wealthy daughter of Virginia, the
hostess, says Miss Van Worst, met a
distinguished guest with an express
ion of regret at the absence of the
male members of the family. Il am
extremely sorry" she said, that my
husband is too busy to be with us to-
night My son cannot come, either.
He writes me from his mine: My Dear
Mother: | am the boss of gang Of
300 Italians all the week. Surely,
then, you cannot expect me to travel
on Saturday evening to Washington o
dine with one more Italian
At another dinner, in Chicago, given
by the ambitious wife of multimil-
lionaire tanner, she remarked that her
husband did not open his mouth to
his guests. why don't you try?" she
said. What's the good?" he grunted.
There's not one of them knows a
thing about leather"
In the United States" says the
authoress man possesses only. what he
has gained and women what she has
bought 1t is consequently only nat
ural that he works to excess and that
she spends to fury"
Miss Van Worst says men on the
European side of the Atlantic inspire
no confidence in. the american wIm@n
She does not believe them to be SIN
cere, but they know how to earn
her by their conversation. She does
not suppose for a moment that a
European admirer really loves her,
bit he tells her he does so delightful
ly, and if she disconcerts the amcrous
Frenchmen by replying to him in the
same tone it is because she does not
feel herself to be in danger.
