Sow Beans Late in August.

AS fast as one sowing of snap
beans is fairly up, SOW more, and
keep this up till late August, so that
you will have a regular succession
of beans. Then, having lot of

them and pack them down in brine

Get ready for planting the turnip

farms to make the turnip patch rich,
for there is usually a sufficiency Of

SHE APPEALs no BBEAsE.
Augusta Woman Who Fled With
Children Will Not Be Sent Back.

Columbia, July 25-Mrs. Mary w.
Zachry, of Augusta, Ca, rushed to
Columbia in an automobile with her
two children when the court award
ed the custody of them to her hus-
band, Julian j. Zachry. Mrs. Zach
ry appealed to Governor Blease for
protection. The Governor assured
her that he would not grant any re-
QUESTION for her and would not send
her back to Georgia. She told the
Governor that she was staying at a
boarding house here, but it was re-
ported this morning that she had
left the city.
1t was reported in Augusta that
the sheriff was ready to take possess
sion of the children, but just as soon
as Judge Henry C. Hammond, OF the
Superior Court, awarded the chill
dren to the father, the mother
placed them in closed automobile
and fed to Carolina.
According TO information from
Augusta Mr.. and Mrs. Zachry were
married in 1909. Mrs. Zachry was
Miss Mary Wilcox, Mr.. Zachrys ste
nographer. Says a printed report of
the case in Augusta" Their married
life was supposed to be running
smoothly enough until the public
learned, through Mrs. Zachry's suit
for alimony, that they had become
estranged.
''ln the ordinary's court the GUS
tody of the two children, Frances,
less than three years Of age, and
Mildred, aged nine months at the
time Of the separation, was awarded
to the father, but Mrs. Zachry would
not part with them. It was about
six weeks ago when the father
brought habeas corpus proceedings
in ordinary's court to secure posses
sion of the children, but he consent

was reported from Augusta that her
husband had employed detectives to
trace the children and their mother.
The case recalls the fight be-
tween B. r. Tillman, Jr., and his
wife for the possession of their chill
dren in this State, and an agitation
to change the law giving the father
custody of the children has already
been begun in Georgia, very much as
was the case in this State following
the Tillman hearing.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Zachry are said
to be prominently connected in Au-

the matter.

There is death to poultry in foul
water. Even when drinking foun-

renewed twice a day, and kept un-

permanganate OF potash to give the
water a wine color, twice week,

After being released from quaran-
tine the horse is branded-but not
in the old unsightly way, on the
flank. Capt. Conrad has devised a
new scheme. He has a number of
fine needle points which fit into a
handle, forming any letter, and the
number he desires. After fixing
these points in the handle, he dips
them in India ink, and then, with
one quick movement, rams them
home inside the horses upper lip.
The flesh there is touch and it
doesn't hurt, and the number and
letter are tattooed there forever In
cidentally, it took Capt. Conrad only
a week. to devise the new branding
scheme, which is now followed
throughout the entire army. But it
took him six months to put the
scheme into operation. American
manufacturers wanted $1,000 to
make the. branding machine, which
is so small 1t can be hidden in the
that sooner than pay that amount
he'd stick to the old branding irons
forever. Conrad finally got the ma
chine made in Europe for $40.
After being branded the colts are
assigned to some particular pasture
and turned loose. But day and
night they are almost constantly un-
der supervision. And the first min
ute one of them shows the faintest
signs of illness, he is yanked off to
the hospital.
The hospital which Uncle Sam
maintains at his farm is probably
the most elaborate one of its kind
in existence. 1t is built of stone and
concrete, and comprises three wards
--One for the very sick, one for the
patients who must be operated on,
and third for convalescents.

And this same care is made evil

routine as Is the life of the West

First, the colt goes into quaran-
tine-a quarantine just as strict as
that at Ellis Island. There it is
watched for days for signs of dis
temper or any other disease. Some
times it is inoculated with anti-dis-
temper serum. At other times, how
ever, if the colt seems especially
strong and able to stand it, it Is de-
liberately inoculated with distemper
germs-given She disease and given
it bad. Sometimes, as result, the
colt dies, but the men, at the hospital
are expert veterinarians, so usually
it gets we'll. And once well, it can
never have distemper again.

All of the proposed referendums in
this state, including that on the
Warnes law, originated from interests
that were deprived Of blood stained
profits they had been wringing from
the MANNED and the dependents of
killed worlingmen, through the enact
ment of the Green Compensation act.
In view of the humane features of
the law, which the Cleveland Plain
Dealer has brought out by contrast
ing conditions in New York where
there is no such law and in Ohio, it
is easy to see why IL was necessary
to use money in the campaign for sig
natures. The Plain Dealers contrast
was effectively Illustrated by using the
recent factory holocaust at Binghamp-
ton, which cost so lives. The Plain
Dealer said: "The employing firm at
Binghampton is reported to have car
ried liability insurance. That proba-
bly, means a fight in court for each
suit for damages filed. That means
lawyers fees, legal delays and many
vexatious developments, and in the
end, means that none of the depend
ents of the dead, and none of the Grip,
led Is likely ever TO gain adequate
compensation. The crippled must 60
through life manned and handicapped
possibly helpless and dependent, may
even become inmates OF county aims
houses. Society suffers and individu
3ls suffer.
Had such a tragedy occurred in
Ohio the crippled would have been
cared for at the hospitals without ex
pense to themselves, the best of sur
gical attendance would have been pro
Vided, there would have been allow
ance for expenses and at the end an
adjustment commemorate with the IN
jury suffered For the dead there
would have been funeral expenses al
slowed. and to those dependent on the
Niictims there would have been an ad
lustment OF compensation in the name
of Juslce administered by the state
Such painful comparisons make
lplain the better way chosen by Ohio
II is fitting 10 call them to mind al
time when the Ohio act Is under
.attHck."

Entered at the Mt. Vernon, o., postof-
&c as second class mail matter.

There was deficit of 1880. 900 dur
ing the last two years that Republican
general assemblies made appropria-
tions to conduct the state govern
ment. Under a complete Democratic
state administration there was a bal
.ance of $4,000 in 1912.
1t was quite task TO wipe out that
immense deficit under which the state
government was being conducted al
the time the Democratic party came
into complete control, but the official
figures for 1912 show that the aim
has been accomplished.
Political changes of unusual magni
tude, striking departures in the con,
duct of the financial affairs, consoli.
dalton of Independent and expensive
all have contributed 10 bring about
this transformation OF a 81 100000 def.
icit to a yearly balance of nearly one
million dollars.
While all these changes were be.
ing made, corps of calamity howlers
emitted structure and oensure for each
reform The could see nothing good
in anything which was done. And yet
nearly million dollars balance was
left when the books of the common
wealth were closed last year.

HOT WEATHER CHARTS
OF POLAR REGIONS

New Orleans, La, Aug. During
the torrid weather of the last several
weeks the naval photographers con-
nected with the New Orleans station
have been rushing work on the latest
charts of the polar regions. The COM
pleted charts were forwarded to the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing at
Washington today. All of the notes
taken by Peary and Amundsen have
been embodied in this work
Placing of great ice fields, plotting
the great snow covered plateaus,
while half dozen electric fans buzzed
proftlessly in the hot office, called
forth witticisms from every caller.
New Orleans-made icefields and gla-
cier walls were declared by the in
spector, who looked over the charts,
to be equal to any that he had ever
seen.
Lieut.. John C. Soley, head of the
United States photographic office here
said that he felt highly complimented
when this work was assigned to the
New Orleans office aand that he felt
that his staff had acquitted them
selves with great credit on what he
considered one of the most difficult
tasks OF charting ever handled by the
department.

TO REORGANIzE
WEATHER BUREAU
Shakeup Under Way TO Affect
Every Station.

Wasbington.--A complete reorgani-
cation of the weather bureau is In
process, and it was said 1t would affect
every station In the country, to say
nothing of the effect of the change on
commission merchants, farmers and
others who are in receipt Of daily
weather maps which issued from fore
casting stations.
For some time inspectors have been
visiting the various stations collecting
data by which 1t is hoped not only to
improve the service and cause the
daily forecasts to be more accurate,
but at the same time introduce econo-
mics.
Charles +. Marvin of Columbus, o.,
has been appointed chief Of the bureau.
One of the important changes con-
templated in the service is to issue a
night map instead of day one. This
change from day to night, 1t is calcu-
lated, will save money because 1t will
eliminate from many stations the duty
of publishing a daily weather chart.
Men longest in the service, however,
declare that the night map is unlikely
TO be regarded as an improvement be-
cause it will reach the persons inter-
ested about twelve hours late.

The appointment of Justice James
w. Gerard of New York to the impor-
tant post of ambassador to Germany Is
generally regarded as recognition Of
special fitness for the position. The
new ambassador, those who know him
best say, is a man Of strength, charac-
ter, ability and culture-a worthy rep
resentative of Uncle Sam.
The new envoy to Berlin is native
of the Empire State and is forty-six
years of age. He was graduated from
the New York Law school In 1892 and
began the practice of his profession In
New York city. He went to the front
in the Spanish war, serving as an aid
de-camp on the STAFF of General Nc
Coskry Butt. After the war he resum-
ed the practice Of law and in 1907 was
elected to the supreme court bench on

fourteen years. Justice Gerard Is pres
ident Of the Mexican Society Of New
York and was one of the three civil
ian commissioners appointed in 1910
by President Taft to represent the

HISTORIC DOCUMENT FOUND?
May Be the Draft Of Leeompton Con-
stitution of Kansas.

Milltown, N. i'm looking over a
bundle of papers which belonged to an
uncle who died in Kansas, Justice Of
the Peace Joseph A. Headley Of this
place found what appears TO him to
be the original draft Of the famous
Lecompton constitution of Kansas, a
document for which the authorities Of
that state have been looking for the
past half century. Mr.. Headley has
written to the secretary of state OF
Kansas telling him of the find.
The Lecompton constitution was the
first organic law of Kansas and provid-
ed for slavery. 1t was recognized by
President Buchanan, but afterward
supplanted with new instrument that
forbade slavery within the state.
