MYSTERY OF THE PLAGUE.
How and Why Did It Disappear From
England In 1867?

Why did the plague disappear from
England? Mr.. Bernard Shaw Incl
dentaly asks this deeply interesting
question in Il letter to the Nation. and
we cannot say that we are satisfied
with his answer. He says he knows"
that plague has been "extirpated" by
common sanitation
Until the recent sporadic imported
cases. the last recorded cases of plague
in England occurred ut Nottingham in
1867. In that year plague vanished ut
terly from England for two and Il half
centuries. No one who has examined
the records of the seventeenth century
can believe that it was "eXtirpated" by
sanitation. Very gradually in the sue
ceeding century and Il half plague
withdrew from Europe also.
The date of its disappearance from
Constantinople has been fixed at about
the year 1871. 1t remained endemic
only in a few lonely places in the
world such as the highlands of west
ern Arabia. Yunnan in China and Mes
opotamia. Sanitation. though an ex.
celent palliative. certainly never drove
the plague from Stamboul and Cairo
and the southern Mediterranean, any
more than it did from England.
The shrinkage of plague Is as great
a mystery as the recent outburst which
infected the whole world. Perhaps the
| explanation is that in few years bac
| terra may go through the myriad trans
| forming processes of evolution which
in the case of humanity take cons tc

Representatives of State College of

The institute conducted in Dawson
Friday and Saturday by lecturers
from the state college o. agriculture
was attended by forty o. fifty repre-
sentative farmers of the county.
Mr.. burlington spoke on soil and
fertilization, crop rotation and coop
erative buying and marketing, Mr.
Firor on sprays and spraying, pecan
culture and vegetable gardening, and
Mr.. Oliver lectured ON concrete ex-
amples of farm demonstration work.
Perhaps more interest was mani
tested in the discussion of hog chOl-
era by DR.. w. NJ Burson, professor
of veterinary science. DR.. Burson
was formerly an inspector of cattle
and hogs in the yards of one of the
big packing houses at Chicago, and
manufactures the serum that is be-
ing sent out and recommended by
the state college of agriculture as a
preventive of cholera. He said there
is no cure for the disease, but by
proper treatment and care ,of the
hogs it can be prevented, and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars saved
the farmers of Georgia annually.
The addresses of all of the visitors
were instructive and helpful, and
were heard with much interest by
those present.

THE LITTLE GIRL CYCLISTS

They Are Causing complaint Dy bn-
whiting Violation of the Law.
Some of the little girl bicycle rid
ers are unwittingly causing COM
plants to arise because they ride
their wheels on the sidewalks instead
of just over the edge, as the law re-
quires No girl wishes to violate the
law any more than does the father
or brother. The fact that so many
of them are guilty in this instance
is because they are no doubt ignor-
ant of the law.
1t would be quite a favor to the
policemen if the parents of these chill
dren would call their attention to the
matter and request them not to use
the sidewalks for their wheels, for
negro boys take advantage of the
example set by them and do likewise.
The natural chivalry of our guard
ians of the peace makes them shrink
from making a case against a girl,
and they feel sure it never will be
necessary, for just a word from the
parents to the child will set matters
right.

SHOCKING CRIME RECALLED
LUM WARREN SAID TO BE DEAD
IN ALABAMA POOR HOUSE.

Numerous Negroes Thought to Be the
Fugitive Have Been Reported Kill
ed by Mobs and Sheriff Posses.
The current issue of the Cuthbert
Acknowledgements contains this in
teresting item:
Sheriff Taylor received a tele-
phone message yesterday from the
sheriff of Houston county, Alabama,
announcing the death of Lum War
rem. the negro who assaulted white
lady of this county some 1S years
ago. Lum had been living at the
poor farm for some time under ali
assumed name Henry Johnson), but
on his deathbed admitted his identity
and confessed his crime. Sheriff
TAYLOR requested the Alabama officer
to send him full particulars concern
ing Warren"
Readers of the newspapers will re-
member Lum Warren as the perpe-
traitor of one of the most shocking
crimes ever known in this section.
He knocked down. assaulted and left
for dead the wife of a well-known
farmer of Randolph county who had
gone out to milk the cow. She was
found where she had been left by the
fiend, and under the nursing of rela-
tives and friends and the treatment
of physicians recovered, with the loss
of one eye that was knocked out.
Since then there have been numer-
Gus reports of the death of Lum War
rem at the hands of mobs and sher-
ifs posses, and several negroes who
were supected of being the fiend have
been arrested and released.
One negro who had lost foot and
been otherwise badly bunged up in
railroad wreck was brought to
Cuthbert from Florida and tried for
the crime. There was a great conflict
of evidence, fifteen or twenty repre-
utable citizens positively identifying
the prisoner as Lum Warren, while
an equal number of just as reputable
witnesses swore that he was not
Warren. The negro, who was de-
Tended by Attorney NJ. c. Edwards
by appointment of the court, was ac-
quilted by the jury.

Mrs. R. B. McLain added greatly
to the pleasure of the guests by her

Business of the chapter was then
taken up. Preparations were made

To so mix fertilizers that the

quires an intimate knowledge of
the elements that each crop takes
out of your soil.
1T DEMANDS THAT BRAINS
BE MIXED WITH MATERIALS.
So, we gathered in our manufac-
turing department the ablest tall
emit we could find. Many of the
men are authors of books that are
considered authorities.
Some of these men today are in
the front ranks as practical agri-
cultural experts. They have de-
voted their lives to studying the
problems of fertilizers.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1913-02-18


Throughout the past few years
of progress fertilizers have not
been left behind.
While farm machinery makers
have been devising better ways of
reaping the crops we have been
finding better ways to produce
them.
We have made "a. A. c." Fer
tilizers in formulas to supply the
demand of every soil and crop.
The need had long been urgent
for exactness in mixing fertilizers.
For if a single one of the several
elements that crops require is lack
ing in your soil the size of your
crop is reduced.
Fortunately for farmers, only
three of the elements are subject
to material loss.
Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and
Potash are all of the elements that
farmers usually need to buy.
When enough of these three ele-
ments are applied every need of
the plant is supplied.
The law, therefore, demands that
the analysis be printed on the
bags. But this measure, helpful as
it is, can never fully indicate the
value of your Fertilizer.

Improvement In Fer

1t was natural that under the d.

Every improvement that would
better the fertilizers was adopted.
A bale of cotton would be ana
lyzed to find out the exact number
of pounds of each plant food that
it took out of the soil.

that ordinary Nitrogen is very I'M

Another source of Nitrogen that
could not be washed out of the
soil was one of our adoptions.
We emplyed forms of Phosphor-
ic Acid that would feed the plant
throughout the growth.
There were certain crops that
required an abundance of Potash.
Supplied in one form it would
largely increase the yield. In an
other form it's effects were highly
injurious.
So in each element that fertilizer
makers use we sought to make an
improvement We sought to cor
rect every fault.
Practical men have brought to
the mixing of A. A. G. Fertilizers
a wealth of experience.
They have studied the needs of
every Southern crop-the peculiar
tiles of every type of soil. Wher-
ever A. A. c. Fertilizers are used
bigger yields of cotton, corn and
tobacco have been the telling effect
of their work.
Men of lesser experience could
never know all of the things these
men have discovered.
