the fair advertiser, not thinking Of
any reward save look at her bonny
face. He was not embarrassed with
threadbare attire this time. He was
in appearance fully what he was-a
gentleman.
She welcomed him with surprise,
but as well with honest pleasure shin
ing in her bright eyes. Then she ex-
planned. The nickel must have fallen
out of her hand bag at the time of
the accident. She had that day taken
it from her uncle's safe to have a
gold receptacle made for it, for it was
a treasured memento in the family.
1t had stopped the course of a bull
let at a time when her uncle was
victim to drink. He had reformed
and treasured the coin as a memento
of evil days now fully redeemed.
OF course Ross declined any re-
ward. AS he was about to depart,
little Lois bounded into the room to
greet him as if he were familiar
friend.
"Then you have not forgotten
me?" smiled Ross.
as"Oh, dear, no! nor sister either
I'll show you"
And taking up sketch book she
showed drawing, a very fair pre-
sentiment of himself. Nellie blushed
and tried to prevent the exhibition
of it, but Ross had seen-and hoped.
And hope brought deeper love, and
that was refined into mutual affec-
ton that kept the cherished bent
nickel in the family.

New York, N. Y.-If Wilda Bennett,
the Weber theater show girl, only
weighed 1913 pounds
But she doesn't. That's. why she's
in the chorus instead of in grand
opera. Miss Bennett has big con-
tralto voice, so big and musical
voice that she's sometimes called the
"Schumann-Heink of the chorus"
but she hasn't got the Schumann-
Heink aYoirdupois. She weighs in"
at 80 pounds and that's about 100
pounds too light for grand opera
roles. 80
Miss Bennett spends all her spare
time now in the gym" adding cubits
to her height and pounds to her
weight She'd rather sing in grand
opera than carry spear at Weber's.

Cotton Shipments Are
Not To Be COntraband

Washington, D. c., Oct. 25.-
Sir Edward Grey, British foreign
minister has assured the United
States that England will not inter
fere with American cotton ship
ments as ''contraband of war;"
Sir Edwards assurance reached
the state department today through
Ambassador Page who also re-
ported that the British ship Cam
perdoon, laden with American cot.
ton and products, had been detain-
ed at st. OrnawaY, Scotland, not
because of her manifest, but on
account of a disagreement between
her owners and the charter party.
PERMITS SAFE SHIPPING
The newly announced attitude of
the British government will per-
NIT safe movement of American
cotton to any point including Ger
many, where a market may be
found. Sir Edwards statement is
construed IN some quarters as
meaning also that there is to be
no interference with any noncon-
traband cargo from a neutral coun-
try, carried in neutral ships even
when consigned directly to bell
.gerent.
The British announcement fore
stalled action by the state depart
ment upon a request made yester-
day by southern senators that the
beligerents be asked to give as
surances that shipments of cotton
from the United States to neutral
and beligerent countries would
not be seized or detained.
Cotton has never been listed as
either absolute or conditional con-
traband but some cargoes have
been detained, and certain marine
insurance companies have refused
to issue cotton policies. A fair
market for cotton is said 10 exist
in Germany though most of the
mills in France and England are
closed.

Growing Wheat In Georgia

Prof. John R. Fain, Department of Ag-
ronomy, Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
Wheat is best adapted to the heav-
Ter or tight soils, such as the clays of
Georgia, while oats do best on loam
Phosphorus is the principal ele-
ment to emphasize in fertilizing 1t
is not advisable to use much nitro
gen at seeding time, but if the soils
do not produce enough straw, apply
nitrate of soda, broadcast in February
or March
In preparing the seed bed, pillow
early Where cowpeas are turned I'M
der the land should be rolled. Where
no early preparation has been made
good results will be obtained by disc
ing the ground from which corn has
been cut and shocked Wheat can
also be sown between rows of cotton
either in the open Through or with
one horse drill Cotton land to be
seeded with the drill should be Gull
tivated before seeding with a planet
junior cultivator of similar tool.
Bearded varieties should be used
for low grounds and either smooth
or bearded varieties for uplands.
Among the varieties tested at the col
lege Blue Stem, for six years has
averaged 1856 bushels; Georgia Red

Sold Butter That
Was Unfit To Eat

New York, Oct. % Testimony
that an inferior grade of butter,
described as unfit to eat but bear
ing the guarantee of the New York
Mercantile Exchange that it was
the best quality, was sold to the
United States government last
June, was adduced today at the
states attorneys inquiry, to de-
termine if butter, egg and cheese
monopoly exists here.
The bad butter was detected Just
as it was about TO be shipped on
navy transport to Vera Cruz for
the use of the United States troops
there, according to the testimony
which was given by f. q. Henry,
superintendent of the Merchantile
Exchange.
The substitution was described
by Deputy Attorney General Ken
nedy as the ''most damnable piece
of work ever perpetrated on the
government"
"The poor soldiers in Mexico
were supposed to eat this trash"
he said, land | wanted the entire
transaction put on record"
According to Henry the butter
was sold to the government by the
firm of Henneberger and Herald
and received the official guarantee
of the Mercantile Exc h an g e
through the connivance of it's but
ter Inspector, James II. Barrett.
after an investigation by the board
Of directors, was discharged and
the firm was suspended for one
year, Mr.. Henry added.
Henry, who said he testified I'M
der protest, explained that the sub
stitution had been discovered
through a complaint made by a
competitive bidder for the butter
contract.
Henry, on further examination,
admitted that Barrett, now but
ter broker, was last month admitt-
ed to membership in the exchange.

Great Mass OF Proof
Reports of $4,000 Gases of
Kidney Trouble, Some Of
Them Fitzgerald Cases

Each of some 5000 newspapers
of the United States is publishing
from week to week, names of peo-
pile in its particular neighborhood,
who have used and recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney
backache, weak kidneys, bladder
troubles and urinary disorders.
This mass of proof includes over
10000 recommendations. Fitzger-
aid is no exception. Here is one
of the Fitzgerald cases.

High Salaries Burst

Special to The Leader-Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 24.-The an
nouncement at the Associated
Charities of Atlanta would cease
to exist within a few days has
stirred up considerable discussion.
The charities, which has main
tanned offices and a big staff of
workers for a number of years,
is supported entirely by private
subscriptions, and these have
fallen off until the expenses can
not be met.
Strange to say, there has been
slight interest shown by the
working class of people, who say
the Associated charities spends
four out of every five dollars
given in salaries, card index sys-
TENS and Investigations. On the
other hand, number of infuen-
tial and wealthy people, who
have done all their charitable
work by paying a subscription to
this organization, are crying for
its continuance.
A meeting Of the trustees will
be held within a few days and
the matter taken up for final dis
posal. 1t is possible that some
set of philanthropists will rut up
the money necessary to carry on
the work.

County Named in Honor
OF Allen D. Gambler
Special to The Leader Enterprise.


Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 24.-Not-
withstanding the fact that there
has never benin the history of
Georgia a case where new
county plan passed by the legis-
lature has been turned down by
the voters Of the state, the peo-
pie of Meter and the surround
ing country embraced in the pro-
posed new county of Gambler,
named in honor of the late gov
ernor Allen D. Gambler, are just
as hard at work upon the new
county plan, to bring out the lar
gest possible vote for it on Nov.
3, as if they were fighting for it
before the Legislature.
The people Of Meter and the
surrounding country decided to
make use of this opportunity to
honor the late Allen D. Gambler,
ex-governor. Since his death
there has been no sort of memo
rial to him, and the new county
will be the first, and so far the
only, memorial to one Of Geor-
gia's distinguished citizens.
The new county of Gambler
was created by the legislature
last summer with practically no
opposition. 1t will be taken from
the counties of Bulloch. Emanuel
and Tatnall. There is no opposi-
ton to the plan in any of the
three counties from which the
territory will be taken and in the
legislature the five representa-
tives and the three senators from
t h e territory affected made
speeches in favor of the plan.
To legalize the new county,
since it is a constitutional amend
ment, it is necessary to submit
it to the people for adoption. In
the history of the state there has
never been new county, approx
ed by the legislature and submit
ted to the people which has been
defeated; and in twenty years
not a constitutional amendment
of any sort has been defeated at
the polls after it had passed the
legislature.
The people of Meter, however,
and those of the surrounding
country, embraced by the new
county, are taking no chances.
Through literature sent over the
state and travelling representa-
tives, as we'll as through personal
solicitation among their friends,
in other sections, they are leav-
ing no stone unturned to insure
the overwhelming success of the
amendment.
