At 90 TRAVELS FAR
TO old SWEETHEART
First Time They've Met in
Eighty Years

Winsted, Conn, Feb. 3.-Just to see
once more a schoolmate of eighty years
ago, Owen Wilcox arrived here from
Milwaukee today to visit Mrs. Julia
Dayton. 1t was the first time they had
seen each other in four score years.
RS. Dayton is ninety-four years old
and a Observation-Disclosures. The
man from Milwaukee is ninety and a
wealthy manufacturer.
As boy and girl they attended school
in Unionville, this state. They were
devoted to each other and their hearts
were torn when the Wilcox family
moved to Milwaukee, just before the
boys tenth birthday. When the two
parted Wilcox said fercvently that he
would see Julia again "some day"
But soon the youngsters lost track
OF each other.
Mrs. Dayton came here to live more
than sixty years ago and brought UP
her family. Her daughter, Mrs, Co.
rclile Andrews; a granddaughter, Mrs.
George S. Beach; a great-grand-
daughter, Mrs. Lester Hurlburt, and
two Observation-Disclosures live
near one another.
Last May, when Mrs. Dayton cele-
brated her ninety-fourth anniversary
the local papers printed her picture
Ten days agterward came a letter from
Wilcox in Milwaukee, saying he had
seen the story, and inquiring if N;8.
Dayton was the friend of his childhood
He was informed that she was. Re
wrote that in the fall he would sit
her and talk over old times. He kept
his word today.
All the Daytons, old and young, were
there. The fact that his round trip
would total $500 miles was called IL
Mr.. WilcCxs attention.
IF it had been necessary I'd have
gone thousands of miles further" he
said. He will return to his home in
Milwaukee tomorrow.

HEAVY SALES
FERTILIZERS
This YEAR
PROBABLY LARGEST EVER
The Tag Sales Are Unusually
Heavy

Atlanta Ca Feb 3-More CONNER
cial fertilizer is to be used in Georgia
during 1913 than at any time d.
the history OF this state, if the inces-
SAINT demand upon the fertilizer de-
partment of the Georgia State de-
partment Of agriculture for fertilizer
tags, is to be taken as a guide.
Thousands and thousands of tags
are being distributed among the man
ufacturers of high grade commercial
fertilizers, not only in Georgia, but
throughout the South, daily. Under the
Georgia law, every bag of commercial
fertilizer sold in this state has to bef
tag from the state department Of
agriculture In this way a very ac-
curate account of the amount of fer
tilzer sold, for use in Georgia, will
be had.
The continued warm weather and
incessant rain have put the farmer to
realizing that he must depend, more
than ever, this year, on the use of
high grade commercial fertilizer if he
eXpectes to make a good crop. The
poor crop made by Georgia last year,
has served as a warning that the Geor-
gia lands, which have been productive
for so long, are wearing out, and un
less the plant food, best found in COM
mercial fertilizer, is restored, in large
quantities, better results cannot pe
expected this year.
Great interest is being taken
throughout Georgia in the soil surveys
which are now being conducted in a
number of counties and which, in due
time, it is expected will be made in
every county in the state. In this way
the soil types will be ascertained and
chemical analysis of that soil will
enable the planters to know in just
what proportion his land is deficient in
plant food and this will give him an
idea as to the analysis of commercial
fertilizer, most necessary for produce
ing the best crop results.
The State College of Agriculture at
Athens, is at present conducting a
series of chemical analyses of the SOL
in those counties in which the physi-
cal soil survey has been completed.
However, these results have not been
announced, but it is expected that the Y
will be shortly. This will prove a
wonderful advantage to planters who
can then know just what is necessary
for them to put into their soil in order
that the growing crops may have the
plant food required and in what pro-
portion.
Georgia has all along been noted for
her famous crop results and much OF
this success is attributable to the fact
that Georgia is one of the largest con-
sumers of fertilizer in the South.
Upon the basis of the fertilizer sales
it is expected that the crop results 81
1913 will be ahead of the previous
year.

SAVANNAH HAD
DISASTROUS fire
SUNDAY MORNING
RIVER FRONT IS FIRE SWEPT
Loss Estimated at Million
and Half Dollars

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 3.-The most
disastrous fire occurring in Savannah
in many years started early Sunday
morning at the wharves of the merch-
ants and Miners Steamship Co., and
sweeping eastward towards the bust
ness center of the city carried prop
erty loss of more than $15OOOO.
Thirty-five of Savannahs firemen.
who had their eyes injured by smoke
or acid, are under treatment, but it is
not believed that any of them will lose
their sight.
The fire, which started from an I'M
known cause under what is known as
the city shed on the western end OF
the Merchants and Miners wharves
lmade a clean sweep of the river front
from the Ogeechee canal east to
within $50 feet of West Broad street
The greatest loss was sustained by
the Central Of Georgia Railway COM
pany which owns the Merchants and
Miners terminals, and was respons-
ible for the Merchants and Miners
freight that was stored on the
wharves. Following is a list of the
losses:
Central of Georgia, owners of de-
stroyed docks, valued at $4,000; COW
cred by insurance.
The freight on the terminals, which
was a total loss, is valued at $780,
900. The company and the consignees
are both protected by insurance.
Agent L. NJ. Erskine estimates that
there was between $50 and 200 cars
of freight. Sixteen cars loaded and
six empty cars were burned. They
were on the terminal track. The con-
tents of the cars was covered by in
surance, but the cars were uninsured.
They were the property of the Cen
trail of Georgia
The next largest loser was the Am
erican Steel and Wire company.
which had large warehouses on either
side of the main entrance to the
Merchants and Miners docks c. z.
Kaminsky, general manager of the
Savannah branch, estimates the COM
pany's loss at between $4,000 and
$4,000. The loss is protected.
The Planters rice mill property
was completely destroyed. 1t was
valued at $4,000. This includes the
building and the machinery. Only
the building was insured.
Savannah Supply company lost d
stock of bathtubs, wire and pipe fit
tings valued at $4,000 The loss was
about half covered by insurance. D.
j. Mahoney, the manager, estimate l
the loss.
I Conklin Tin Plate and Metal COM
pany, stock worth $4,000. w. l..
Roberts, manager, is unable to say
/ how much insurance is carried.
Quaker City Flour mills, about 400
barrels of flour, valued at about 81, =
400; insured.

no estimate.
William C. Robinson and Son, 300
barrels of oil.
Tyson and Son, stables.
The Savannah Electric company suf-
fered $4,000 in wire losses.
Much of the freight burned had
been discharged only a few hours be-
fore the fire. The steamship Suwanee
on its way to Jacksonville, put in
here and unloaded big cargo. All
of this was lost and the waybills
burned,
Agent Erskine, of the Merchants and
Miners company, said his investiga-
ton failed to show how the fire start

The democratic situation in Ham

were a man popular with the masses
would be the favorite in the betting
today despite the fact that Hammond
is democratic stronghold The demo-
cratic party IS split--how badly re-

ever. everything is quiet. But the large
number of democrats which turned out
for the organization meeting last
night indicates that somebody must
have been extremely busy explaining to
the voters just how important their
presence would be.

made by primaries or by a convention

PRAISE SHARPER.

In speaking of the Indiana Society's
visit to Hammond the Rensselaer, Re-
publican says:
AT Hammond the hospitality fairly
ran wild. DR.. Harry Sharrer, formerly
of Delphi, who wanted to get as near
Chicago as he could without being
part of it, and who has been one of
the Hammond live wires for several
years, had helped to arrange a pro-
gram that did not permit a moments
rest and If a fellow stopped to take
a drink he had to hire a taxicab to
catch up"
