LETTER TO EDITOR
GARY's $4,000 GIFT

Gary, the chairman of the board of |
directors of the American Steel Cor
poration, of which he was the origin
al promoter, to the local Catholic do
cese, for use in extending church |
work in the town of Gary, named |
after the giyer, who, in turn, will re-
ceive gold medal by order of Pope |
Plus in recognition for his "gener-
osity," presents some interesting
phases. The writer has on several |
occasions been the guest of Judge |
Gary in New York, and knows him to |
be hberaEa free thinker, in fact
with no belief in the efficacy of the
ology as moral system, and yet he |
makes large gift to the Roman
Catholic Church Of the town named |
in his honor.
Why is this? It becomes perfectly
clear when viewed in the light of the
following story: y
Two brothers, both atheists, in
1902 invested 100000 in a 10000
acre ranch in the State of Morelos,
Mexico. According to representations
this ranch, scientifically run, accord
ing to the Spanish system, would
yield 100000 net per annum in re-
turns to the owners. A well-recom-
mended gerente (Mexican tnanager)
was secured, and plans for improving
the buildings, ETC., set in motion to
make the investment as profitable as
possible. The suggestions presented
L. 4, 49, I'd ~
proved priests house and chapel, and
a salaried priest then connected with
another very successful ranch. The
brothers, being atheists, demurred.
NO." they said, "cut out all that re-
igious stuff"
The gerente jumped to his feet.
CAS- you please, gentlemen. With the
priest you will clear 100000 the first
year-without the priest to keep the
labor satisfied to work from sunrise

Get Busy

Cotton is bringing = cents a
pound in Albany, and a good deal
of the staple has been sold above
this figure. We have passed through
periods-nOt war periods, either
when the staple product had to be
sold for less than it commands now
We are, therefore, not down and
out" down here in Gods country
and it is time for our people to quit
whining and holding out the begging
hand to the national government
The South is in better conditions
today, materially and financially
than it has been since the Civil
War, and all that we need now to
turn the European war into an asset
rather than a calamity, so far as we
are concerned as a section, is to get
busy with our own heads and hands

Cardinal O'COnnell Sets
Day for Peace Prayer

Boston, Sept. 29.-Cardinal
O'Connell, in a letter to the clergy
of the diocese, today appointed
next Sunday, October 4, as a day
of special prayer for the restora-
ton of peace in Europe.
Commenting on the wish of
President Wilson for such an OBJ
servance, the cardinal wrote:
1t is a splendid and consoling
thought that the chief executive
of our nation seeks to turn the
minds and hearts Of his people
from strife and requests them TO
unite in petitioning the Prince of
Peace to bring to an end the ter
rible and deplorable conflict now
raging throughout Europe"

Pigeon Brings News
OF a Naval Battle

st. Augustine, Fla, Sept. So.
Bearing on it's leg a tin cylin-
der with the words, Germany
1912" stamped thereon, a car
rier pigeon futtered in from the
Atlantic this morning and was
picked up by George W. Corbett,
a brother of Mayor Corbett. In
the cylinder was message, type
written in English, reading:
September "a, 1914, off Flori-
da Coast.-Just sunk two British
ships. Ger. B. S. L. 1872"
The marking on the tin cylin-
der is identical with that on a
carrier pigeon which dropped
dead here yesterday from ex-
haustion. The first bird had ap-
parently lost it's message.

Tax On Automobiles
Instead OF On Banks

Washington, Sept. 29.-Reduc-
ton of the proposed tax of 81 a
thousand n bank capital and
surplus is contemplated by dem
ocrats of the senate finance COM
mittee, who are now celebrating
on the war revenue bill which
passedEthe house last week. The
suggestion has been made that
disturbed financial conditions due
to the European war and revision
of the currency laws make it un-
wise to levy so heavily on bank
capital, and it has beer proposed
to cut the assessment in half.
Those who favor this action, in
view of protests that are pouring
in from bankers all over the
country, would provide for the
loss in revenue thus occasionod
by an automobile tax, to be SUBJ
stituted also for the tax of 2
cents gallon on gasoline now
provided in the bill. An auto
mobile tax based on Horsepower,
it is said, would yield enough to
replace the estimated 500, 900, 900
which would be derived from the
gasoline tax and the amount to
be lost if the bank capital levy
should be reduced one-half.
The senate also is considering
readjusting the proposed tax on
insurance policies with the prob
able elimination of a tax on &C.
cident insurance.
Today the committee decided
not to grant hearings, on the bill,
but it will heed to all written
communications. Chairman Sim.
mons said he hoped to have the
measure ready for a report tc
the senate before the end Of the
week.

Charges Against
Bartlett Dismissed

Atlanta, September %. The
charges against Judge A. L. Bart
lett of the Tallapoosa Circuit,
which were brought against him
by his opponent in the Demo"
cratic primeary, J. M. Mcbride,
were dismissed today after an
all day session of the Democratic
state executive committee.
it was alleged that Judge Bart
lett, acting through agents, used
money and whiskey to bring
about his nomination. Mr.. Nc
Bride who was only eleven votes.
behind Judge Bartlett, had eleven
witnesses to prove that Mat Bull
lard supplied booze" money and
that this was given him to use
by the judge.
Only three of the witnesses
went on the stand and a large
part of their testimony was ruled
out, the committee deciding that
only direct evidence would be
allowed, thus barring all hearsay
when it was ruled that only
specific acts were permissible in
testimony, attorneys for Mr.. Nc
Bride practically gave up the
case.

MUST PLANT WHEAT LATE
TO AVOID SERIOUS DAMAGE
IF Planted Earlier Than October TO- The Crop Will Be In
iured Bv The Hessian Fly.

they have frequently been seen flying
in wheat fields several days after frost
The late planting and not the frost is
the real preventative.
There are two broods Of the Hessian
fly in Georgia. The spring brood
energies between Feb Il and March
%, and the fall brood between Sept.
% and Oct. 80. Experiments in Geor-
gia have shown that where wheat was
planted even as late as Oct q, some
Of it was infested. The only paintings
in these experiments which showed
practically no infestation at all, were
made after October 20.
The first effect of the larvae of the
Hessian fly, noticed in the fall, about
Dec. / or shortly afterward, is that
the infested plants are darker green.
The leaves are thicker and stand up
straighter than on the healthy plant.
Later in the spring the plant turns yell
low and dies. The larvae of the spring
brood are generally found under the
culmS at the first or second joint. The
effect is to weaken the straWs, caus-
ing many of them to break and fall
over so they cannot be caught by the
binder. 1t has been found that the
yield from infested straws is usually
about one-third less than from healthy
ones.
All this crop damage can be avoided,
in large measure by late planting Of
! rIn nv fol
| ing carefully the suggestions given by
the chronological department for elm
mating this pest from the fields.

Atlanta. Ga.-Plant your wheat late,
not earlier than Oct 20, if you would
avoid serious damage to the crop
from the Hessian fly, is the advice Civ
en- Georgia farmers by the State De
partment of Entomology.
Wheat planting in Georgia will be
more extensive and general than ever
before, according to advices coming to
ahe department. Winter wheat should
be planted late, says State Entomolo-
gist E. Lee Worsham. 1t should be
planted from October 20 to 30; ear
lier paintings will subject the crop to
serious injury from this pest,
In addition to late planting the
hoard urges also in order to avoid the
Hessian fly, which is found all over
the state, that the stubble of infested
wheat fields should be burned; that all
volunteer wheat should be plowed
under not later than November l;
that rotation of crops be practiced
and that good seed should be planted
on land well prepared and properly
fertilized The same rules apply, OF
course, to rye and barley as well as
wheat, as they are similar plants.
The foregoing are the general rules

bike insect supposed to have been

Domestic Sources
OF Combined Nitrogen

Washington, Sept. %. Calling
attention to the dependence of
the United States on Germany
for it's potash supply, emphasized
by the European war situation,
and to the fact that this country
gets all it's radium nitrate from
Chile, the geological survey to-
day suggests several domestic
sources Of combined nitrogen.
One of these, it is said, is the
gasworks and by-product coke
ovens which, in 1912, reported a
recovery of ammoniacal liquor,
ammonia and ammonium sui
phate valued at $3.50, 1868. An
other domestic supply of nitrogen
compounds lies in the fixation of
atmospheric nitrogen by cleo
tricity. Cheap hydro electric de-
velopment is necessary, it is said,
to establish this industry, which
would make our large agricul-
tural and industrial interests free
from the uncertainties of the
foreign supply.

CUT IS PLANNED
IN COTTON CROP

W ashington, Sep. 2S.-Curtail7
ment of cotton production next
year because Of tie huge amount
of the 181 crop remaining on
hand through the suspension Of
the European market was discuss
ed today by governors and congress
sional delegations of the south. At
preliminary conference, commit
tees consisting of a senator and
two representatives from each state
we're selected to meet with the
governors later in the day and de-
wise formal plan for accomplish
iLg crop curtailment.
The morning meeting showed
there is some difference of opinion
as to whether legislation should be
state or federal. Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, and several
other congressman held that each
state should act for itself, passing
laws that would limit next years
crop to so per cent Of the 1914
yield.
Many of the governors, however,
believed a federal law should be
enacted taxing excess production
either by the pound or acre.
The preliminary conference was
expected to complete its work in
time to present a plan to the open
meeting tonight, which will be
attended by all congressman from
the cotton states, officials of the
dep artment of agriculture anc
other government representatives.
A plan for federal taxation al
ready has been formulated by some
southern congressman, which
would fix tax of 10 cents pounc
on all cotton produced in excess o.
half the 1914 crop. Another pro
posal was a tax of 500 on each acre
planted to cotton in excess of 81
per cent of the 1914 acreage. Boil
proposals have had many supper
tiers, but it was not indicated a

would be favored in the final plan
