The usual seasonal reports Of high

1t Is stated that cotton buyers at Sum

Camden have paid higher prices for
the better grades of cotton than the
best price paid on the Sumter market
on the same days. These reports
may be true and they may not, but
as they are being generally and In.

Is lie THE RIGHT MAN?
Negro Trailcd by BlOOdhOunds and
Captured on Walker Avenue May
or May Not he the Thief.

Marion Adams. was arrested Thurs
DAY afternoon, after being trailed by
plOOdhOunds, but whether he is the
man who has been guilty of numerous
petty rObberies about town recently
Is question which is now vexing the
police. Some of them seem to think
that Ire is while others are extreme
~ doubtful, and even skeptical of his
being the man wanted.
Ihe bloodhounds were brought here
on the $50 train from Columbia
Thursday afternoon in charge of j. c..
Robbins, who had them when they
were brought here before. The dogs
were taken to the residence of III. X.
Norris, on Wright Street, where the
theft of pair of trousers containing
watch and twenty dollars had occur
red the night before, and were put
on the trail. the dogs gained the scent
from foot print which had been COW
cred up during the day by tub.
The dogs took the scent readily, but
owing to the dry, sandy condition Of
the street and the shifting Of the
sand by the wind the day and much
travel over the trail, they had some
difficulty in following it, picking it up
at intervals and baying. They follow
ed the trail to the place where Marion
Adams lived, going up into the back
piazza and baying. Adams, it seems
had just come in from the country
from Shady Side, where he says he
works for Mr.. DuBose. The dogs
were taken past the house and start
ed out but immediately came back
to 1t. In the meantime the negro
started up street on horse back, pre-
sumably to see a doctor, but was
overtaken and placed under arrest.
AS there were many doubts of his be-
ing the right man, he. was given a
second chance. He was put in an au-
tOmObile and taken out to the woods
on this side Of First Mill, where he
was turned loose. He went through
one wood and then through a field
and into another wood, where he
climbed tree. The dogs were
brought up and turned loose. AL
though large crowd of white and
cOlOred folks had gathered by this
time and had gone over the road and
woods all around where the dogs were
turned loose, they nosed around until,
without any commands or aid from
Mr.. Robbins. they picked up the scent
Of the negro, Marion Adams, and fol-
lowed it until they came to the tree
where he was rOosting.
Mr.. Robbins stated that his dogs
had never failed him in the fifteen
years he had been keeping and
training them and that this must GER
tainly be the man who stole the stuff
from Mr.. Norris, or that he9 must be
one Of them. Others who saw the
chase were also convinced that Adams
was the thief, while others did not
agree.
Adams denied having stolen any
thing or having been in any way con-
nected with the rObberies. He thought
that the dogs would trail any Of the
other negroes in the same way. None
Of the stolen goods was found any
is being held pending further investi-
cations by the police.

Dec. Is, 1912.
DEAR BOYS: Going across the Poto-
mac river, then through a long tunnel
you arrive in the city of Washington,
D. C. You then go up some steps into
the large waiting room, with the seats
running lengthways the room, lunch
room at one end. All the seats have
megaphones on the ends, thing that
looks like a graphophone horn, that
call out the trains.
Then yon go out the doors and see
the Columbus monument which stands
in front of the depot, If you go up
Delaware avenue you will pass the Sem
ate Office building where all the Sena-
tors have their offices. Next, the Cap
itol with long columns and steps, in the
front a park, in the back of the park
the Congressional library. In the libra
ry they have the posts carved in fruits
and flowers. You go up to the visitors
gallery and look down in the middle.
They have a man at desk to hand out
books. You go up and write the name
of the book you want and if it's not in
that room he sticks the name in chute
and it goes all over the place to another
clerk and if he has the book he puts it
in the chute and sends it back to the
other clerk. The walls have pictures
tinted on them and are very pretty.
Leaving the library you go over to the
Washington monument, get in the ele-
vator and start up. 1t takes you Is
minutes to get to the top. Then you
look out 555 fit. above the City. 1t is a
very pretty sight. You see the river and
the steamboats,. If you look at an auto
it looks like toy and people look like
mere dots. The cars don't have the
trolleys up over the cars but under
ground in the center of the track.
You pay as you enter the cars, six
tickets can be purchased for 25c. |

CARTERSvILLE CHICKENS
WIN BLUE RIBBON.
(From The Barlow Tribune. \

(From The Barlow Tribune.)
In the face of about the hottest
competition to which poultryman was
ever up against in big Southern show
II. A. Black, of Gainesville, took first
pen with his white Orpington at the
Atlanta show this week, thus demon
strating what intelligent and personal
attention will do for the poultry fancier.
In competition with Mr.. Black were
such big Orpington specialists as Asa
Gambler with his expensive equipment
and high-salaried employees to help him
raise chickens to compete for the blue
ribbons of Southern poultry shows.
Another competitor in the white
Orpington class was the famous Cook
farm of New Jersey, whose expensive
birds had been groomed for months Just
for this contest.
But, meanwhile, Mr.. Black had been
dong some grooming too-and he had
the advantage of being able to give his
personal attention to them.
The big fellow took the first prizes
for the individual birds, but when he
took the ribbon for the first pen Mr..
Black won the highest award for the
best all-around family" of Orping-
tons-which is really the important
thing IN raising chickens, so far as real
usefulness in raising the quality of the
breed in general is concerned.
Mr.. Black is to be congratulated on
showing what can be done with poultry
right here in Gainesville which ex-
perts say is the center of just about
the best section in the south for raising
chickens.

GEORGIA DEVELOPS
VALUABLE COTTON
State EntomoIOsiss Ready for Boil
Weevii and Black Root-other
important Work.

Atlanta, a.-(Special.D-By cross

q domestic variety called Dixie, the
Georgia State Department of Ento-
mology has produced an entirely new
variety, as yet unnamed. which win

Ing early, and will at the same time
resist the black root or wilt disease
This new variety of cotton. which
has been developed under the direc.
ton OF State Entomoiogist e. Lee
Worsham, is an intermediate long sta
pie cotton. that will bring a price far
In advance of the ordinary upland or
short staple cotton. 1t is of a kind
that will bring about twenty cents a
pound on the regular market. under
normal conditions.
After long and careful series of
experiments, under the direction of
Mr. Worsham, this cotton has been
produced with combination of quail
tiles never before possessed by any
one variety. 1t has three elements
which are of hundred-fold value for
the very reason that they are COM
bined; it meets boil weevil conditions,
1t resists the wilt disease, and will
grow practically anywhere in the cot
ton belt, whereas Sea Island cotton,
the only other long staple variety in
this country, is confined to a narrow
belt near the sea coast.
This new strain of cotton was
evolved to meet the peculiar situation
which will develop in Georgia when
the boil weevil crosses over from Ala
bama next year. All specialists had
agreed that the best way to combat
boil weevil was to use early matur-
ing varieties, but in Georgia it was
found that the varieties which ma
tured early were peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to black root and would only es-
cape one pest to be ruined by another.
In the light of this situation, the very
great Importance of the State Boards
contribution to the situation becomes
at once apparent.
More Seed Later.
For the time being the supply of
seed for this new strain will be small,
as the State Department has only
about an acre of it, but this is to be
distributed in small quantities to
farmers who will take careful inter-
est in the development of the new
variety and will cultivate it in &C
cordance with rules furnished by the
department. The seed will naturally
be distributed first in that section
of the state where the boil weevil
will first strike, that is to say, in
which includes some twenty-five coun-
ties next to the Alabama line, Mr..
Worsham has already organized cot

partment in bringing about the fur.
Their development of the new cotton.
The department, under Mr. Wor-
sham's guidance, is engaged in a
continual and aggressive warfare
against crop and fruit pests and dis
eases of all kinds. These diseases, it !
is estimated, would cost Georgia's
crops $25,OOO,0OO or $3O,OOO,OOO a year
if no efforts were made to control
them.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington City,
December so, 191;

Congress will reconvene Thursday
and one of the first things to happen
will be the valedictory of Senator Joe
Bailey, of Texas.
1t will be notable occasion.
Bailey is to retire and it is said
that Immediately after his speech he
will forward his resignation to the
Governor of Texas. His term will not
expire until March 3rd, but he pre-
fers to anticipate the end of his polit-
ical career
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1913-01-03

suppose Bailey will be employed
by some big corporation and easily
get seven or eight times the salary
paid United States Senator. 1t is a
fact that business pays better than
politics; that is, it pays better than
honest politics. The people cannot pay
what the trusts pay. because the
trusts pay too much, and so when the
people find an honest and reasona~
bly, capable man they ought to stick
10 him.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1913-01-03

What wonderful man Bailey
would have been if he had been made
like Ben Hill
How proud the South would have
been to have had him as part of her
galaxy in the Senate.
Nothing more polished or eloquent
has been said by any man in twenty
years than the speeches of Bailey.
He lis an orator whose natural pow
erB could have moved the stones of
Rome to rise and mutiny'. But he
lacked conservation to noble pur-
pose and his eloquence is but the red
and blue fire of a bursting rocket.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1913-01-03

Bailey is probably the most hril-
liant man in the Senate, and yet the
Democrats will not lose anything
when he retires. Why? Because
Bailey, somehow, lacks qualifications
that are necessary to make a man use
full as Senator. He got mixed up
with the Standard Oil people and has
figured in political scandals, whether
justly or unjustly l will not under
take to say. but it cast shadow
over him and he has never since pos
sessed the full confidence of his fell
low Democrats.
