stayed out with profit Most of the
others lost everything they had.
This prospect didn't look hopeful, so
/ turned my attention in another direc-
ton. A new mining district had Just
been opened to the public, which
meant that the money to be made out
of the mines had all been gathered by
the first Corners. Companies were be-
ing organized with balloon capital, but
they absorbed good deal OF money on
the part of simple minded persons
which found its way into the pockets
of promoters, stockholders and the
like, whence it was transferred to gam
blers. a large part of it going to road
agents.

PLAN CORN PRIZES
FOR POOR FIELDS
Boys Forced to Plant Grain in Un-
fertile Land to Get Recogni-
ton in Show.

A new series Of prizes. planned for
the benefit of boys who are compelled
to plant grain in unfertile land, will
be offered at the annual corn show
under the auspices Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce. The show
again will be held in the corridors OF
the State Capitol.
While the new awards will not af-
feet the regular prizes, they are de-
signed to lift the poor land handi-
cap" under which many have been
laboring.
The new prizes are offered for the
greatest proportionate increase ar
acre, and are expected to serve the
purposes OF increasing the interest In
the show, and in inducing the boys to
cultivate their land and make it bet
ter. Many boys last year planted in
bad land ana showed splendid in
creases In the volume of grain. They
were not given prizes because theil
best efforts were not equal to the
normal yield OF the richer lands.
The show committee of the Cham
Der Of Commerce has begun it's work
and will hold meetings at intervals
through the summer. 1t is planned to
make the next show the best in the
history of the State.
