Hole to The Earth'S Center.

Many of the dreams of modern sci
ence have come true, and the world
has become accustomed to marvels
in the way of scientific accomplish
ment. But the most daring dream
of all-sinking a shaft to the cen
ter of the earth-contemp a
thing so stupendous as to make all
past achievements seem Insignificant
This has been proposed in a vague
way several times in the last half
century; but Camille Flammarion,
the French scientist and author, has
recently outlined a specific plan for
setting the standing armies of Eu-
rope at work digging such a shaft,
the purpose being to "tap the mex
haustible sources of heat and pow
er" stored beneath the surface of the
earth. In the June number of Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine J. E. Muir
ply discusses some of the problems
involved in such an undertaking
Mr., Murphy says;
'In the present state of engineer
ing science an attempt to harness
these Herculean forces would result
in immediate destruction of the ap-
paratus used. But no man can say
what advances will be made in that
science in a single generation, or
what agencies may be discovered for
neutralizing the effect of the high
temperatures which are believed to
exist in the core of the earth. In
fact. it is more than possible that
within two hundred years, or even
half of that time, a trip to the cen
ter of the earth may be simply a
matter of time cards and train rules,
with no more danger than now exists
in surface transportation
"Only one means of transporta'
ton would seem to be practicable
a spiral railway running downward
on a sharp grade around the edge o
the shaft, supported on cantilever'
firmly anchored in the solid rock ,
the canyon-like walls For safe AM
rapid operation two tracks would b.
required, one for down-bound an
the other for up-bound traffic, Will
the curve of the track could no
safely have a radius of less than so
feet. This would make necessary
shaft 1000 feet in diameter"

MUST PAY FOR GOOD ROADS.

From the Cuthbert Leader.
A delegation of Texas road
builders have come all the way to
Georgia to see Sumter county's
system of model highways and
take lessons in how to build good
roads. 1t is a high compliment
to our neighbor and her achieve
ment in highway building, and
one that, after having recently
spent a day riding over her roads,
we are prepared TO say is fully de-
served. -Dawson News.
We are told that it required ten
months at cost of $1,000 per mile
to build one ten mile stretch in Sum
ter. People in this county who are
grumbling at the amount spent or
our roads should make a note Of
this.

COMPETITION IN COTTON.
m the Columbus ledger.

From the Columbus ledger.
European governments with trop-
zeal possessions are making consid-
cradle sacrifices to promote the
growing of cotton. The British gov
eminent has guaranteed a loan of
$4,000, 600 by the Soudan govern
ment to cotton growers. Russia is
rapidly extending cotton culture in
Central Asia. Experiments are max
ing in Germany, British and French
Africa. 1t is not to be assumed that
American cotton growers need not
be alarmed at present over their pre-
eminence, but they should gradually
diversity their crops in order to be
ready for the change of market con-
ditiuns when it comes, and also tC
benefit their pockets Immediately
The buying of corn, hay and meats
from the North is an economic alb
surdity. They should also consider
the possibilities of delivering cotton
to European spinners in better con-
dition.
American staple is sold under it's
normal price because the bales reach
the spinners in such ragged and
filthy condition. The use of cotton
instead of jute bagging and better
housing would raise the value of
American export cotton.

Something Unusual.

Once in a while we are confronted
by the spectacle of man fighting to
hold seat in congress to which he
was fraudulently elected. The
case of Representative Young, of
Michigan, therefore, is refreshing.
Young, having served five terms, was
legally elected again last fall and
was given his certificate But the
legality rested on a technicality, ass
votes, apparently intended for his
opponent, being thrown out because
the opponents name was spelled
wrong on the ballots. AS soon as
Mr. Young became convinced that a
majority of his constituents really
meant to vote for his opponent he
resigned.

New Vegetables

There are more than twenty Of
these new vegetables that show a
likelihood of coming into general use
on the American dinner table within
the next ten years The choice of
the housewife is going to be consid-
erably more than doubled. She VIII
have forty different vegetables from
which to plan her meals instead OF
twenty. There is nothing of the fad
proposition about any of these new
vegetables. All have been and are
being grown and already have some
on the market. All have been pop
Mar wherever they have been tried,
and all can now be grown at profit.
In addition, over and above the for
tv there are five or six other yege'
tables not so new, but still uncom~
mon as foods because they have new
er been put widely upon the mar
ket. These latter have passed the
public verdict of approval, but in
most cities and towns it is difficult
to obtain them But all the new
vegetables. the experts say, are go
ing to be possible for the slimmest
pocketbooks.
The aquatic potato, which jokers,
when they get wind of it, are going
to designate as a Submarine" be-
cause it really grows, so to speak,

Science Has Evolved
Them for Modern Use.

under water, is one of the most spec
tacular of the new vegetables. The
scientists and the progressive farm
ers who have looked into it say that
the aquatic potato has very fair
chance of becoming one Of the great
American food products all by itself.
1t is good to the taste and it grows
where no potato worthy of the name
could ever be induced to grow be-
fore-on moist and marshy ground.
Along with the aquatic potato is
the roselle. The roselle is almost
the star among the new vegetables,
for even now it has a brilliant rec
ord and has become a distinct COM
mercial success. 1t is substitute
for cranberry, or really not substl-
tute at all but something new and
capable of making a jelly that can
meet cranberry on its own ground
and, some say, of surprising that
delicacy. 1t will grow in southern
climates impossible for cranberries,
and, best of all, a market for it is
now established. Texas, California,
Florida and South Carolina have all
become roselle states. One advant-
age it has over the cranberry is that
it is very easy of culture and can
be grown in any garden.-Cromwell
Chide in Harper's Weekly.

Hope Delayed.

Seldom has the announcement
of any medical discovery raised
such high hopes among so many
suffering thousands as did that of
DR.. Friedmanns cure for tubercu-
losis. And in proportion to these
hopes is the added misery resultant
from their cruel dissipation.
Not that Friedmann's remedy has
been proved an absolute failure, but
that it has not yet been demonstrat-
ed to be a success. Experiment and
time may prove it efticacious under
certain circumstances, or they may
prove it to be an absolute failure, If
not a deterrent to recovery.
The discoverer still has faith in it,
but warns the anxious public that
beneficial results can follow only
upon the preparation of the serum
and its administration by physicians
with skill enough to intelligently
differentiate in patients and appli-
cation.
The trumpet was blown too soon,
the assertions were too positive, the
claims too general. AS a result hope,
cruel because ill-founded, has been
raised in thousands of hearts only to
be succeeded by a black despair
which kills faith in the only methods
which long years of study and expe-
rience have demonstrated to be eff
cacious. To this extent the prema-
ture exploitation of Friedmann's
cure" has done infinitely more harm
than the discovery" could have
done good had 1t beer as meritorius
as it was claimed 20 be.
Medical science moves slowly, and
there must be long period of ex-
perimentation and demonstration
before any cure" may be taken at
It's face value. Meantime those af-
aicted with the greatest curse of hui
nanity, consumption, can'do no bet
ter than ignore improved discoveries
and follow the advice to depend on
fresh air, rest and nourishing food
and such ministrations as may be
given by an accredited physician

Department of Agriculture
Established.

Pursuant to a call made in last
weeks issue of The Journal by
Chancellor Robins, good num-
-ber of the progressive citizens
of the county met with the Board
of Supervisors Tuesday for the
purpose of discussing the prac-
ticability of establishing a de-
partment of agriculture in Lee
county.
Field Agent Wilson, of the De-
partment of Agriculture of the
United States government, was
present and made a practical
talk in advocacy of the establish
ment of the department in the
county. A number of our promi-
nent farmers also spoke in ad-
vocacy of the measure.
The Board of Supervisors, after
hearing from our citizens, voted
to establish the department and
will subscribe 81, 900 toward pay
ing the salary of a commissioner.
The remaining $500 which is re-
quired to secure a competent
man will be paid by the United
States government. The CON-
missioner will be selected in time
to begin work for another year.
This step is a wise one and the
best results are sure to follow
the labors of an experienced man
among our people. We are now
confronting a grave proposition
in dealing with the boil weeyil
and we must change our meth
ods if we win out in this fight.
