Saved Their Seed,

The general public was under the
impression that that monumental
farce. the distribution of seeds by
congressman, had been given its
death blow But it seems not to have
been true, after all, for here comes
the Triton Gazette with the state
ment that the statesmen up Wash
ington way are to have the privilege
of distributing free seed once more.
This item, which was knocked out OF
the agricultural appropriation bill in
the senate, was restored by the con-
ferees lust before adjournment. 1t is
not generally known that the major
itv of these seed are bought by the
government, a great many Of them
from dealers at Rochester, n. Y
Recently the government has order
ed from that place 100000 pounds
OF vegetable and $4,000 pounds o
flower seed. A Rochester paper il
authority for the statement that las
wear there were distributed NOR
than 1926, 000 pounds OF corn, ia
600 pounds of peas, 10000 pound
OF radish, $4,000 pounds of lettuce
and from two to ten tons each o
sixteen other kinds of vegetaDl
seeds. OF flower seeds there wer
1900 pounds of sweet peas, HOO
pounds Of nasturtium seeds and larg
amounts of other varieties. Thes
seed made so tons In weight an
filed twenty-eight freight cars.
We agree with our contemporar
that it is quite a big item TO be prat
tieally thrown away.

HOGS IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
ON the Triton Gazette.

From the Triton Gazette.
The raising of hogs in South Geor-
gia was given thorough trial in
Colquitt county last year, which it
may be remembered was the worst
year for hog raising that We have had
in long time. A merchant near
Moultrie set aside a ten-acre tract
for pasturage for hogs. The total
cost of raising the animals was 5000.
The meat that was saved sold for
$3.50 cash recently, a net profit Of
$3.50, and the merchant has as many
pigs left as he started with year
ago

The Atlanta Journal says that a
convict paroEed from the federal pen

nothing but the hidden brand OF a
prison sentence, has made good"
in New York. He has leased two
hotels. one for $4,000 and the other
$35, 900 year, and is succeeding in
a big way despite big obstacles. The
Journal says this prison is good
reformatory, and that many inmates
leave, it better men than they were
when they began life behind its iron
doors.

argument has been used every year
since with about the same results.

There is always a way to whip the
devil around the stump, as witness
the fact that Texas hardware dealers
are said to be lodging the law in
that state which forbids the sale OF
revolvers by renting them to Gus
toners for nfnety-nine years and
making the rental" equal the price
of the weapon The state court Of
appeals is said to have held that the
rental was legal, and now the Sayan-
nah News says it is suggested that
the same scheme might be applied to
the retail whiskey business, the
renter" agreeing to return the goods
ninety-years hence in as good condi-
ton as at the beginning of the lease.

BOY OBEYED ORDERS GIVEN

happening around the place. He hired
new bell boy recently. and gave
him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned. III any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about It."
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters of the Con-
federacy one of the best rooms in the
place, when the new bell boy rushed
in with his hair on end.
Something's happened" he yelled.
The three Daughters of the Con
federacy turned coldly, and the man
ager, anxious to get rid of the boy,
demanded to know the trouble.
THAT old cat down stairs said
the boy, has just had kittens. What
shall we do?"
