way slowly toward the house of
his people.
The house was as-still as death
when he drew up at the door
step. With a queer foreboding
at his heart, he pushed the creak-
ing door inward, and stepped
upon the threshold. There he
stopped and began to stare, and
he went paler at that which he
saw.
The old man appeared to be
barely alive. His two sons, Jack
and Alb, were leaning over him
and watching him gloomily. And
in another bed lay Thurst, throb-
bing and burning and delirious
with mountain fever. Luke
walked to the middle of the floor.
4Pap!" he said piteously, his
sound arm held out toward the
poor old man. @Pap!'
Alb turned upon him, his black
eyes glaring hard, the corners of
his mouth curled in sneer.
"You git outen this here house!'
he roared bitterly, miserably.
"You needn't to come a whinin'
back here to see Pap after you
a denyin' him. Leave here, Luke
Overton, and go back to the
Wards!'
The old mans sunken eyes
opened, and his thin hands flut-
tered out before him. He tried
to speak; but he was too utterly
lacking in strength. The light of
the father love in his eyes, how
ever told Luke a great deal. Luke
went to his knees beside the bed,
buried his face in the coverlets,
and began to sob out plea for
forgiveness.
But Alb was too angry. too bit
ter, to permit a reconciliation.
He seized Luke under the arms,
dragged him to, his feet. and
showed him roughly toward the
doorway. "You git outen this
here house." he cried, 4and don't
never, as long as you live, come
here no morei"
Thurst, red faced and wild of
eye, struggled to sitting pos

When Luke awoke it was with
his departed mother and certain
DAYS of his ,boyhood strongly on
his mind. 1t was strange, indeed!
He seemed to have just returned
from a journey into the past,
and particularly to the days when
the fever had burned at his heart.
His mind was startled into sud-
den clearness by the uncommon
ness of it. And then he knew!
1t was the hand that was
sweeping, repeatedly and gently,
from his brow across his forehead,
each steady stroke caress that
finished with smoothing back his
tangled black hair. This had
been the most prominent mark
of his mothers great Affection
this way of caressing his brow
and smoothing back his hair. He
caught the slender wrist in his
sound hand, brought the slender
fingers to his lips, and kissed them
with great reverence. And he
knew without opening his eyes
that it was the girl for whom he
had denied his people.
She spoke to him then, con-
fusedly perhaps, but with much
solicitude, "Are you feelin' all
right?'
Only Luke's lips moved. @Bet-
ter" they whispered.
4I'm glad. You hain't so hot
now. You was outen yore head
in the fo' part O the night; but
Cid Granny thar she give you
some O. her yarb medicine, which
quieted down yore fever and
made you sleep. Old Granny

Luke stared in wonderment
toward a Pickering point of yel-
lowish light which he knew to be
a tallow candle. Not only was it
night, it was very late at night,
according to that which the girl
had said. Then he turned his
gaze and saw asleep in her chair
a very small, wrinkled old woman
with red bandana handkerchief
about her almost white head, and
a cold clay pipe hanging loosely
from her sunken, wrinkled mouth.
1t was Old Granny. Of course.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1914-10-27

Temps states that experiments made
in a Lyons hospital have demonstrat
ed that the German bullets are mag
netic and are in many cases easily
extracted by application of magnets,
In one case at the Desenettes Hos
pital at Lyons a bullet was extracted
from a depth of three and a half
inches by an electric magnet power
full enough to lift ton, while its ex-
traction would have been extremely
difficult by any other process. The
magnet is also being used together
with photography to locate bullets,
splinters of shells, ETC., under the
flesh, rendering immense service to
the surgeons.
Complications from wounds cause
the most serious trouble. They oc-
cur with surprising frequency and
gravity, says Prof. Delorme. They
chiefly result in gaseous gangrene
and tetanus. Injection of oxygenated
water is efficacious in both cases, but
for tetanus injections of antitetanic
serum are being used as preventive.
More than 100000 doses Of this Sc
rum have been turned over to rhe
army health service by the PasteuT
Institute since the beginning of the
war. By this means it is expected
that the lives of thousands of wound
ed will be saved.

Tendency to Produce Slivers of
Bone. Wounds Clear Cut.
PARASITIC Journal des Debats
says that during the first month after
the first arrival of wounded at the
Vichy Hospital, where the most i'm
portant operations are performed,
the average of the operations was
20 per day out of 5000 cases treated.
Of these 500 operations no more
than ten were amputations and
among the ten were some single fin
gers and parts of fingers only. Two
legs. one arm and one wrist were all
the serious operations that proved
necessary at this great hospital.
This very small proportion of am
,putations in comparison with wound
ed of preceding wars is accounted
for, first, by the difference in the eff
fects of modern projectiles, which
have not so much tendency to pro-
duce slivers of bone. The wound is
more localized and cleaner cut than
formerly In the second place, sur

S3OO,OOO,OOO FOR THE SOUTH
Would AppOrtion Money Between the
States According to the Number of
Bales Produced BY Each and Have
Legal Value of Treasury Notes.


Congressman Charles r. Crisp in
troduced a bill to bring financial aid
of the government to the farmers OF
the South. There is little hope, how
ever that the bill will become law
on account of the opposition of the
senate to all relief measures.
Mr.. Crisps bill provides that the
secretary of the treasury shall depos-
it in national banking associations
situated in states producing cotton
$500, 100000 to be advanced to the
poducers OF cotton or owners of lands
upon which the same was produced,
upon cotton grown during the year
1914, at a rate of interest not exceed
ing four per centum per annum, for
a period of time not exceeding twelve
months. The deposits shall be ap-
portioned among the seye ral states in
accordance with the number of bales
of cotton produced therein during
the year 1918, as ascertained by the
department of agriculture.
A further provision of the bill is
that the secretary of the treasury
shall, in his discretion, Immediately
cause to be prepared United States
notes to the extent Of 100000
to be used for the purpose of maxim g
the deposits in compliance with this
act, which said notes shall have all
the legal qualities of the United
States notes now outstanding, and
shall be of such denominations as

in Preference to Theirs.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Problems
of international exchange at present

soon will be solved, the balance Of
the gain will swing to the United
States and the payment of immense
sums of American gold to England be
rendered unnecessary in the opinion
of Sir George Paish, special advisor
to the English chancellor of the eX-
chequer, now in Washington to dis
cuss foreign exchange conditions
with treasury officials.
Wants What Is Owed.
tAt the present time" Sir George
said today, England of course feels
that she wants money that is owed
her We have coming from the Unit
ed States probably more than $780,
600, 900. The ordinary method OF
payment is by gold, but in the course
of business the balance usually is
taken care of by purchases of Ameri-
can securities or by payment for
your crops.
Inconvenient to Pay Now.
"In view of the present situation
in your country the payment OF this
large amount of gold now might be
inconvenient, and England was glad
to respond to proposal that the
case be talked about and an enort
made to find some way of meeting
the difficulty.
81 feel sure some way will be dis
covered here by your federal reserve
board and the secretary of the treas
ury and there is no doubt that event
ually the balance of trade will again
be in your favor. In the months to

can wheat and cotton. 1t probably
will, not cancel the sum owed in
few months, but it is bound to in

Not to Buy Egyptian Cotton.
Sir George said he believed the
London and New York stock ex-
changes soon would reopen. His gov
eminent, he said, was preparing to
prevent the calling of loans on secur-
tiles and with a guaranty he thought
there was little to stand in the way
of reopening exchanges.
Sir George declared ne did not be-
lieve American cotton growers need
fear that English manufacturers
would buy Egyptian cotton in prefer
ence to American.
Mills Not Anxious to Buy.
sThe Egyptian cotton is not used
for the same grade of manufactured
goods" said he. cat present the
English mills probably have a suffi-
cient supply on hand for a few
months. They naturally are not anx-
ious to buy, however, unless they are
sure cotton has reached the bottom
price. The margin of profit in cot
ton is too small to warrant such
risks. If you succeed in taking care
of the surplus crop have no doubt
you will see the English mills in the
market again quickly.
Cotton Exchanges to Reopen.
81 suppose the cotton exchanges in
New York and New Orleans will open
again shortly, if the plan of the fed
eral reserve board for a $3.50, 0O0,-
900 loan fund goes through. Then
think the Liverpool exchange will
follow. With cotton selling again
there is bound to be an improvement
in conditions and some of the bal
ance against you will be wiped out
of existence"
He will remain in this country
some days yet.

WEEDS USEFUL IN
MAKING A COMPOST
Pile Them in Garden Between
Layers of Soil-Add Poultry
Manure and Soapsuds.

The best way to care for the weeds,
in some out of the way spot in the gar
den between layers of soil. The poul-
try manure may be spread over the
weeds. Make square, compact heap.
Tramp the weeds down. Spread on
the hen droppings and then four-inch
layer Of earth. The soapsuds from the
family wash and the dish water are
valuable. as they contain considerable
potash and soda. The weeds should be
composted when green. The wood and
coal ashes and the sweepings from the
walks may be added to the heap The
refuse from an acre garden, if proper
ly composted, will make several loads
Of rich compost to spread over the
vegetables and to spread around the
fruit trees and bushes. II the weeds
are allowed to remain in the rows after
being cut up with the hoe, many of
them will root and start to grow after
the first warm rain. Plantains, crab
grass and purslane are hard to kill; I'M
less dug up by the roots and compost
ed or fed to the pigs, they will ripen
seed. These seeds have an oily skin,
are not injured by wet weather nor by
freezing and thawing during the win

Two pests in the onion and strawberry
oeds, and purslane among the celery
plants and in the kale and spinach
beds. II the weeds get a fair start
and there comes a week or so of hot
moist weather, they will make an as
lonishing growth and soon completely
cover the small plants. BY thorough
culture and careful wedding and the use
of well.rotted manure, the larger por-
ton of these weeds may be held in
check and no ground should be left to
grow up In weeds. AS soon as one
crop is gathered, pillow up the ground
and plant second crop or SOW in mil
let or Amler sugar cane.

nation of untold value, sometimes dis.
covered largely as the result of mere
accident.
How much, after all, do we know
about the elements which go to make
up the soil as yet? The geologist, for
instance, has been able to tell us much,
and yet Is there not as much that he
can in no way explain? Hugh Miller
observes that the richest corn lands of
England, those at Strathmore, and the
poorest, those at Milbury, are both
underlaid by the same rock, the old
red sandstone. Yet many a man will
stoutly affirm that the character of
the underlying rock determines in a
great measure the character Of the
soil above.
Some say that certain soils are abso-
lutely essential for certain crops, yet
learned scientist utterly disproved
the statement by growing grapevines
upon as many different varieties of
soil as be could obtain, and drying and
burning their leaves and submitting
their ashes to chemical analysis; so
demonstrating that they contained the
same substances in almost precisely
the same proportions, no matter what
the circumstances under which they
had been grown. Is the composition
of the soil in reality vastly more COM
pick than we realize?

YOUNG HOGS BEST
FOR MAKING PORK
Dean Henry of Wisconsin Gath.
erS Considerable Data on
This Interesting Question.

Young animals make more pounds
Of gain from their food than. when
older. Dean Henry of Wisconsin
gathered lot of data on this and
found that 9S-pound pigs required 293
pounds of feed to make 100 pounds of
gain, 7S-pound pigs required 400
pounds of feed; 12S-pound pigs, 437
pounds of feed; 174-pound Pigs, 4S2
pounds; 226-pound pigs, t9S pounds;
271-pound pigs, 81 pounds, and for
the 330pound hogs it took 535 pounds
OF food to make the 100 pounds OF
gain, or nearly twice as much as for
the 3S-pound pig. This emphasizes
the importance of pushing the hogs
from the start in order to make the
most economical gains. 1t has Noen

ment station that April pigs can be
made to weigh 200 to $50 pounds by

Land plaster or gypsum has I'M

though some scientists dispute this.
Still kainit is so much better for this
purpose than the gypsum that 1t is a
wonder any of the latter is used. 1t
is true kainit Is more expensive in

the ammonia better than the gypsum,
