From these tests it is clear that the
best-looking corn is not always the
best seed corn. Other methods must
be employed to increase the yields.
An increased number of farmers
Of Georgia have determined to en-
gage in breeding corn this year and
build up the yielding power of this
crop. To do this they will conduct
plat tests, keeping accurate tab on
each ear. When the corn has tassel-
ed, they will remove the tassels from
alternating hills to make sure that
the corn is fortified by another stalk
and not by itself. From these stalks
that have been detasseled will be
taken the seed corn for the next
year.
The best ears will be chosen from
this lot for the following years tests
while the rest are used in planting
the field. terminating tests will. Of
course, be made before planting.

SAYS = NO EQUAL RIGHTS
In Decision United States Supreme
Court Draws the Line Between
White and Black.

WASHINGTON, D C.-The Unit
ed States supreme court has pro-
nounced the federal civil rights bill
unconstitutional, thereby automati-
cally debar9 ing the negro from equal
accommodations with white men
when travelling by train and boat,
in seeking quarters, in desiring to be
served in restaurants, drug stores
ard other places and in demanding
other equal privileges with white
persons.
The decision of the court of last
resort was the elimination of an
action brought by Mary F. Butts, a
negress, who had made a round trip
by sea between Boston and Norfolk
AMI who claimed $4,000 damages
because she had been refused the
same eating and sleeping accommo-
dationp as were furnished white peo-
pie.
1t has been the custom in this CITY
to charge a negro entering fash
ionable eating house an exorbitant
and prohibitive price for his order.
It is now said that, acting on the
above decision, he will be plainly ad-
vised that his trade is not desired,

CONVINCING EVIDENCES THAT
SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAYS IN GEORGIA


Farmers in cooperation with DEM
onstration agents showed that under
right selection of varieties of corn
a yield of an average of Ga bushels
per acre as against A bushels per
acre for inferior varieties. Demonstra-
tons in apple culture have shown 95
per cent. of crop is made salable,
where the unsprayed showed only 5
per cent. salable.
In cooperation with the Central OF
Georgia railroad, forty-acre farms -
several in number-each operated by
one man and two mules in 1912,
showed profits where money was lost
on many adjoining farms.
Three thousand corn demonstrators
in Georgia located in 60 counties with
acreage $4,000, produced an average
yield of So bushels or three times the
average for the state. Three thou
sand cotton demonstrators in so eoun-
ties with acreage planted 10000, pro
duced 1850 pounds seed cotton or
three times the average of the state.
Many more instances might be re-
counted, but these figures and the
thousands OF Georgia farmers who
have actually tried out the modern
methods taught by the College, make
it necessary to go no further.

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO GUST
ANIERICUS POSTMASTER.
Charges Have Been Preferred, and
Result of Investigation by Post
master General Is Awaited.

AMERICUS, Gait is reported
that an effort is being made by a
number of citizens and patrons of
the Americas postoffice to secure the
termination of Mr., F. P Mitchelrs
services as postmaster.
Copies of charges which allege one
or more violations of the rules gov
erning the postal service, as relates
to the office of postmaster, have been
FORWARDED to Washington, and an in
vestigation is said to have been pro-
mulgated by the postmaster general.
Senator Smith and Congressman
Crisp have been called upon to take
a part in the investigation, and each
has signified his intention of going
into the case carefully as well as i'm
partially. The result of the ivesti-
cation is awaited here with no small
degree of interest on the part of the
friends of Postmaster Mitchell, as
we'll as other patrons of the office.
Mr. Mitchell has nearly two years
of his second term to serve by the
appointment as made by the Taft ad-
ministration.

The graduates from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture speak for
themselves in every community
where they are known They are the
most successful and progressive. One
has reported net earnings of $4,000
out Of his operations in 1912 and has
introduced new industry in his
community.
The College farm brought an in
come Of $8,58141 in 1912 and netted
earnings of $2,246.96 A dairy herd
netted profit of $1,817.60 or a profit
of $60.5S per COW.
Under the direction of the College
Of Agriculture and the United States
Department of Agriculture the boys of
the Corn Clubs produced approximate
ly 100000 bushels of corn at net profit
of $244,000. One girl netted in the
tomato club $6915 on one-tenth of an
acre or nearly $500 per acre. The
average profit per tenth acre of all
girls In the tomato clubs during 1912
was s2488 or $248 per acre.
By use of crop rotations, legumes,
soil improvement and seed selection,
the College has shown on it's own
farm an increase in corn from IL to
100 bushels per acre and of cotton
from one-half to three bales per acre.

miles from Janina for 80 wealthy
patients, many of them millionaires
and all suffering with diseased kid

Commanders of the divisions at

that he needed. Upon receipt of a
dead body the doctor proceeded to
transfer the healthy and still living
organ desired from the corpse to the
body of one Of the patients.
Old men on the verge of the grave

of their trouble removed and the

THE ROTATION OF JUDGES
MANY LAWYERS FAVOR REPRE-
SENTATIVE PICKETTS BILL.
How the Measure viii Operate in
the Event 1t Is Made a Law
of the State of Georgia.

of the State or Georgia,
The proposed bill of Representa-
tive D. C. Pickett of Terrell county
to rotate superior court judges is at
tracing much attention.
The measure provides for nothing
less than the rotation of judges in
the circuits throughout the state so
that most Of the judges time will be
taken up in trying cases in counties
outside Of the circuits in which they
are elected. Mr.. Pickett would have
the supreme court, at stated inter-
walls, to make assignments of judges,
the judges to hold the regular terms
of court in the counties to which
they are assigned. Provision is made
for the payment by the state of the
actual travelling and living expenses
of the judges when away from home.
Under Mr.. Pickett's bill, if it be-
vomes a law, a judge from Camden
county might be called upon to hold
a term Of court in Dade, and vice
versa. In this way it is believed that
judges will be removed from all po-
litical and personal influences that
might bias their rulings.
While the measure is expected to
meet with strong opposition from
the judges themselves it is said that
a large number of practicing lawyers
favor it. While Mr. Pickett is not
lawyer himself several members Of
the house who are lawyers have sig
nified to him that they will favor the
bill. and one will probably ask that
his name be put upon it.
The law in New York state pro-
vides for a rotation of judges, some
what similar to the system that Mr.
Pickett hopes to have introduced in
Georgia.
Discussing his reasons Tor intro
ducing the bill Mr.. Pickett said re-
Gently:
81 know of men on the bench who
would make splendid judges If they
were taken out of the counties in
which they are known. They are
able lawyers and well equipped in
every way to preside over court and
interpret the law, but they cannot
free themselves from the political in
to which, in many cases.
they owe their elevation to and con-
tinuance on the bench.
cit should not be so. Our judges
should be removed as far as possible
from political influences. No sus-
picion of partisan bias should tal"t
the administration of justice. be-
leve it will be a long step in the
right direction when we can have our
Judges holding courts in all the
of the state in turn, and en-
tirely out of the circle of home in
fluences which might color the decls-
ions of even the fairest and most un-
partisan Judge"

COTTON AN ANCIENT CROP
WAS CULTIVATED CENTURIES
AGO BY AMERICAN INDIANS.
Today 1t Is Highly Esteemed by the
HOpi Indians, and Enters Into
Many of Their Ceremonies.


The origin, growth and develop
ment of the cotton industry in the
United States has received considera-
BILE attention from historians, ethnol-
ogists and statisticians.
The fact that cotton was used and
of necessity cultivated by the Indians
is recorded by several early Spanish
explorers, as it has been more re-
Gently by many ethnologists. In the
villages of the cliff dwellers of Mesa
Verde National Park numerous frag-
ments of cotton cloth have been I'M
earthed, and in Utah the seeds of
the plant itself have been found.
Today among the Hopi Indians of
Arizona the cotton plant is highly
esteemed, and it's fiber enters into
many of their ceremonies as we'll as
into many practical household activi-
ties. 1t is considered essential by
them that all strings employed in
religious services be of native cotton.
These strings of cotton are used to
bind together prayer sticks and offer
ings of all kinds, and are placed in
the trails entering the pueblos, where
ceremonial services are in progress;
the badges of the chiefs are wrapped
with native rough spun cotton
strings, and cotton is also used to
weave ceremonial kits, belts and
wedding blankets.
Unfortunately, the native Hopis,
once deft in the art of weaving blan-
kets, mantels, rugs and other articles
from cotton, now find it far easier to
purchase either the yarn already
spun, the cloth already woven, or the
complete garment, and thus the art
is gradually being lost. Cotton is
still cultivated by them, however, to
a small extent in the Western Ma
vajo reservation and in another of
the Moqui
Hopi cotton is remarkable for the
rapidity with which it grows and the
early date at which it blooms, it be-
ing the earliest to blossom of several
hundred species put to test.

FULTOHS MURDER RECORD MAY GET MITCHELES GOAT
FTFTY-NINE HONnCIDES AND on
LY ONE CONVICTION.
Atlanta Has Laid the Record of Grip
pie Creek in the Shade. Much
Criticism for Officers of Law.

NATURALIZATION county is
gaining a reputation almost as bad
as that of Cripple Creek in the old
western days, so far as taking of life
is concerned 1t is declared that
there have been fifty-nine homicides
in Fulton count, nearly all in the
city of Atlanta, during the past four
teen months, and that there has been
only one conviction.
In many of the homicides there has
never been any arrest or trial. In
this class are the alleged Jack-the-
Ripper murders. which caused the
death of more than a dozen negro
women in and around Atlanta in less
than the period of one year. In one
or two instances negroes were ar
rested charged with these crimes,
but for the great majority of them
IL ere has not been any arrest.
Chief of Detectives LanfOrd has
ISSUED a statement admitting that a
wave of crime is sweeping Atlanta,
and admitting further that the de-
tective department is not able to
cope with it, but declaring that the
fault is not with the members of the
force. He says the trouble is that
Atlanta has outgrown the size of her
detective department and that more
men are needed.
Members of council who oppose
the addition of more men to the de-
tectiye department say that the
trouble is that the men now on duty
fritter away their time and energy
chasing petty offenders and let the
resl criminals escape.

WONT SEE HORNED SNAKE
Legislators May Find Some, Though,
in Atlanta Locker Clubs and
Nigh Beer Saloons.

ATLANTA.-The horn-tail or hoop
snake, recently captured on Marietta
road by a Cobb county farmer and
brought to the state capitol alive,
has died, and consequently legisla-
tors will not have the opportunity OF
seeing the promised wonder, but the
remains have already been picked
in alcohol and will occupy a perma-
nent place on the shelf in the state
capitol museum. This is the only
snake of the kind ever captured in
Georgia. 1t has horn like that of
a COW on the end of its tail, and pop
ular tradition is that in pursuing its
enemy it takes this horn in its mouth
and rolls along like a hoop.
