Perfect Health.
also retire

Caroline Alison, who lives in the
little island of Oguo, off the coast of
Sweden, holds all records for long
sleeping. One day in 1875, when she
was IA years old, she came home
complaining of toothache, and went
to bed Soon afterward she fell in
to a deep trance, which lasted from
1876 to until 1907, a period of 80
years. While in this state she did
not seem to see or hear, nor did she
show any trace of feeling, for though
her arms were pricked with pins,
needles and other sharp instruments
she was not once observed to vince.
Only once or twice did she seem to
wake from her lethargy. On one oc-
casion, in response to cry from her
mother, she moved her lips as if to
speak. When her mother died Car
oline must have been conscious of
the fact, for she burst into tears, al
though there was no other change in
her condition. Two years later, when
her brother was drowned, she also
had fit of weeping. For 80 years
and more her only nourishment con-
sisted of two cupsful of milk a day
After the death of her brother she
was left to the care of ahousekeeper,
and then gradual signs of awakening
intelligence began to dawn. Gradu-
ally she regained possession of her
faculties, until, at the age of 46, she
had completely recovered from her
trance, being in perfect health and
well and hearty in every way.

WEEVILS' WORK DISASTROUS
Cotton Receipts at This Town Have
Fallen From $500 to 500 Bales.
What Farmers Are Doing.

The News found the following let
ter in the Andalusia (Ala.) Star:
j. l.. Knox and myself went to
Bay Minette, Ala, spent the day and
went out to a 12-acre field of cotton
over waist high and locking in five
root rows that we're affected with
the weevils. Four men in the party
said they would not pick the twelve
acres for all the cotton it would
make.
"The truck growers are making
good at Bay Minette. Sweet pota-
toes, Irish potatoes, beans, cante-
loupes, cane, beets and popcorn are
raised. Four hundred bushels Of
sweet potatoes to the acre is not
large yield, and bring from IS cents
to $1.35 per bushel on cars at Bay
Minette. Hogs and truck farming
are taking we'll with all farmers
there, and our farmers in Covington
county will have to raise more hog
and hominy.
1.-The farmers in Baldwin county
have silos, and where you see those
Won will see nice cows and hogs, etc.
"Shubuta, Miss, has a population
of about 1900 people. Last year
they bought $500 bales of cotton,
but they will not get over 500 bales
this year. They have large oil mills
and gins combined and the managers
saw they will not run this season.
On one 40-acre field of cotton at Shu-
buta the farmer told us he would not
get three bales of cotton Off the en-
tire field. We went to the fields
where they picked weevils and
squares every week, but they will not
get half crop. j. L. CAN'T"

ACCOMPLISHES DARING FEAT
PegOud Turns Sideways in Air, Flies

VERSAILLES French avi-
ator, Pegoud, who recently made an
upside-down fight at Juvisy and re-

feat in his self-imposed task of prov
ing the stability of the areoplane.
After mounting to great hight
Pegoud dropped the left wing and
his machine slowly turned over on
it's side. The aviator flew for some
seconds head down. Then he gained
the upright position by gracefully
looping the loop Pegoud's hazard
GUS flight was watched with breath
less interest by a great crowd.
Before looping the loop Pegoud
went through a series of fantastic
feats, tumbling forward and side
ways, slipping backwards and twice
making the letter S. While describ-
ing the loop Pegoud was flying up
side down at hight of 1900 feet.
He descened in this position fully
1000 feet, completing the loop
swiftly and gracefully.

CHAMPION COTTON PICKER
A Fifteen-Year-Old Texas Boy Has
Taken the Laurels From Geor-
gia With 400 Pounds.

Georgia seems to have lost the
honor of having the South's cham
pion boy cotton picker. The Lone
Star state now claims him in the per-
son of a youngster named Lonpie
Harris, ten years old, son of M. L..
Harris. The Texas papers say the
boy picked 405 pounds in one day.
If there IS any boy in Georgia UNI
der Is years of age who has beaten
that record, or who thinks he can
beat it, now is the time for him to
come forward and announce it to
the world.
Lonnie Harris is quoted as saying
that he will meet any boy in the
world in a twelve-hour cotton pick
ing contest. Up until now Georgia
boys have claimed the championship
with an ability to pick something
like $50 pounds.

WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
United States Bureau of Education
DO Not Agree as to Sex Educa-
ton in Public Schools.

Wide differences of opinion exist
among school men as to the extent
to which sex instruction should be
given in the public schools, as shown
by reports to the United States bu-
reau of education. Officials of the
bureau express the conviction that
the sex hygiene question is about to
assume great importance in many
school systems.
Ideas submitted to the bureau
range all the way from detailed plans
for sex instruction beginning in the
elementary schools to a determined
opposition to any form of sex educa-
ton whatsoever.
The bureau declares that while
there are many teachers and medical
men who favor sex education in the
schools. holding that the policy of
silence and punishment as practiced
in the past has failed and that edu-
cation rather than punishment
should be the remedy for social
evils" there are many on the other
hand. both among educators and
physicians, who see danger in this
instruction, holding that safety lies
in diverting the attention from sex
details"

MUST LABEL ALL GASOLINE
Agricultural Department Issues an
Order Compelling Vendors to
Show Gravity of "Gas."

ATLANTA.-Pursuant to an an
nouncement several days ago of the
intention of the state department of
agriculture to enforce the law
against vendors of gasoline and to
see that all gasoline sold is properly
branded the department has issued
the following order:
ITO All Inspectors: A very low
grade fluids to SO beaume-is
being sold as gasoline, the vendors
claiming it to be as good as the high
er gravity product. AS l understand
it, the value of all these petroleum
products, when used for power pur-
poses, is based on their gravity, and
that this item, in very large meas
ure, governs their commercial value.
This being true, it is manifestly
a wrong, a violation of the letter and
the spirit of the law governing the
inspection and sale of gasoline in
this state.
This law, as you know, fixes no
standard of gravity, but it does re-
quire that the gravity, whatever it is,
be stenciled on the packages from
which it is sold.
1T is the duty and purpose Of this
department to see to the enforcement
of this act, and you, as local in
spector, should see to it that every
dealer in your territory displays a
placard at all points of delivery upon
which is plainly labeled the gravity
of the fluid offered for sale"

You WANT TO Be A CONSUL?
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
TOBE HELD IN WASHINGTON.
Chances of SOutherners, But Few of
of Whom Are in the Service,
Are Unusually Good.

WASHINGTON Examinations for
diplomatic and consular positions in
the United States service will be held
in November and January, and so
few people from Southern states are
now in the service that any South
erner who succeeds in landing on the
eligible list will have an excellent
opportunity of obtaining a foreign
post. Probably no service with the
government offers as much induce
ment to college-trained young men
without close family ties as diplo-
matte and consular service. Promo
ton and transfer to various parts of
the world together with the fact
that the nature of the work offers
the highest sort of culture, form a
lure irresistible to the student of his
tory and international affairs.
The examinations for both classes
of service will be held in Washing
ton, and application must be made,
not to the civil service commission,
but to the secretary of state. The
diplomatic examination will be held
on November II, 1913, and the ex-
animation for the consular service
January 10, 1914. Applicants must
secure the endorsements of their SEN
ators, not for any political reason,
but as a guarantee of character and
standing. This is provided by the
constitution. Application must be
made at least a month before the ex-
aminatiOns are to be held.
Appointed by President.
Ambassadors, ENJOYS and minis
tiers are appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate. The
positions filled by examination range
from secretaries to embassadies
through secretaries of legation, sec
ond and third secretaries to embas-
sizes and second secretaries to lega-
ton. Salaries range from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year.
Clerical appointments are made
without examinations, usually by the
heads of the post Salaries range
from $1,000 to 1900 a year
Applicants for both diplomatic
and consular positions must make a
grade of so per cent in order to be
eligible. They cannot specify to
what point they shall be sent. There
can be no forecast as to when posi-
tions will be vacant.
