rliness in bringing trucking crops

Earliness in bringing trucking crops
into condition to be marketed
is of prime importance. To
this end sandy loan soils are
essential. Among the types OF
soil suited to the purpose are NOR
folk or Portsmouth sand and sandy
loans, but they must be handled with
great care to produce profits. Natu-
rally they are not rich in the more
important elements regarded as neces-
sarv to obtaining profitable yields
OF course these soils will be benefit
ed by the addition of humus. This can
be supplied by growing some one OF
the legumes and turning under during
the fall. Many of the crops which the
farmer will want to grow will be taken
off in the spring, leaving the ground
available for a legume crop.
Among the more important truck
crops which can be grown in Georgia
are cabbages, tomatoes, onions, canta-
loupes ,watermelons, Irish potatoes and
sweet potatoes.
Cabbage will give best results on
land which has had rich application
of well decomposed manure or COM
most. In addition there should be fer
tilizer applied containing about 4

nitrogen, per cent phosphoric acid
and s per cent. potash can be used
and from 800 to 1000 pounds of fertiliz-
er may be applied to the acre at plant

Sandy soils are best suited to the
growth of early cantaloupes and wa
termelons. Watermelons require a
soil richer in vegetable matter than
cantaloupes. Fertilizers, to per
cent. nitrogen, to per cent. phos-
phoric acid, to z per cent potash,
should be applied in the hill. From 800
to 1000 pounds should be applied to
the acre.
For sweet and Irish potatoes it will
be found advisable to turn under d
crop of legumes in the fall or to apply
about ten tons of yard manure per
acre. Both should be heavily fertiliz-
ed, using a mixture of from to As

LIFE AWAY
STRIPPING is SAID TO BE DYING
OF A BROKEN HEART.
Ex-Chief of Police of Norfolk, Geor-
gia's Most Famous Prisoner,
Is at the State Farm.

According to reports brought to
the capitol Thomas Edgar Stripping,
perhaps the most famous prisoner in
Georgia, is dying of a broken heart
vile. Stripping is now serving life
sentence for murder, after many
years of freedom, during which he
raised a family of twelve children.
His present keen sorrow, which is
wearing his life away, it is said, is
due to worry over the destitute con-
dition of his family.
knowing that his wife would be
unable to provide for her large brood
STRIPPING has been failing in health
ever since his apprehension in Vir-
ginia for the old crime committed
many years ago. Recently he has
received a letter from his wife tell
ing of the serious illness of his favor
lite daughter, Ruth, and that bills for
food and medicine have reached
more than 800 and that she has no
money to pay them.
Ruth Stripping was baby in arms
when her father effected his escape
from a Georgia prison after being
sentenced for life. She was reared
to young womanhood in another
state She was engaged to be mar
ried when her father was finally rec
ognized and apprehended. She de-
clined to fulfill her engagement to
wed, with the shadow of disgrace
hanging over her family, and since
that time her own health has been
breaking.
The crime for which Stripping is
under sentence was the murder of
William Cornett, in Chipley, Ga, in
1897. Cornett was shot to death
from ambush, through a window OF
his own home, when he was unarmed
and partly addressed ready to retire
to bed for the night. 1t is the cir
cumstances of the murder that have
stood in the way of pardon or pa
role for Stripping in spite of the SYM
pathy which is felt for his family.

say on hearing that insect mentioned.
The typhoid fly is merely an old
acquaintance in disguise. The de-
partment of agricultures scientists
have decided that this is the most
appropriate name for the insect COM
monty known as the ''house fly, ,"
which is a most dangerous creature,
although considered 1T mos simply
a nuisance by many people. This 1y
is one of the most active agents in
spreading typhoid fever. 1t spreads
Asiatic cholera and other diseases
of the intestines. 1t has been known
to be a minor factor in spreading tu-
berculosis. If the name of the ty-
phoid fly could be pOpularized per-
haps a more general idea could be
given of the danger that turks wher-
ever the pest is present.
Another name which has been sug-
gested for this pest is even better
than the ordinary term "house fly. :"
This is manure fly" The insect is
quite as partial to manure as it is to
the house. It's chief breeding plaza
is the manure heap. In eradicating
the breeding place of this pest, how
ever, the department is seeking a
method that will accomplish the
work without lessening the value of

has been made and announcements

SNEEzING IN FOREIGN LANDS
involuntary Disturbance No Longer an
offense In Germany-Some
Old Superstitlons.

Not quite ten years ago a citizen
was fined in Prussia for sneezing
lsudly in a street at night. A few
weeks ago a jury of Bunzlau refused
to condemn a citizen who had been
arrested by the police for sneezing
and disturbing public peace"
Mohammed said:
"If a man sneeze and say 'Alham-
dolillah' he averts seventy diseases,
of which the least is leprosy."
The Hindus believe sneezing and
yawning are caused by evil spirits
and they drive them away by snap
ping the thumb and forefnger as
loudly as possible. But you should
sneeze to the right, not to the left,
and if you sneeze when putting on
a shoe you should go to bed again.
When the king of Mesopotamia

all parts of his dominions.

FAIR BUT POWERFUL HAND
Spanish Queen May Be Said to Have
Won Succession by the Exercise
Of the Latter.

II. r. II. the Infanta Eulalia of
Spain, in her brilliant memoirs.
which are now appearing in one Of
the magazines, tells dramatic story
Of how the Sale law was abolished
in Spain.
When her father, Ferdinand VII,
was taken with his final illness,
there was a Salic law in Spain bv
which his brother Carlos would be
his heir and successor. "BWt an old
enmity existed between Don Carlos
and. my mothers aunt, the Infanta
Louisa Carlota. She had said to
him, You'll never reign And he
had laughed at her"
But when the king was plainly
dying Of paralysis she put before
him a paper that she had prepared,
abolishing the Sale law; and, plac-
ing pen in his hand, she took hold
Of his fingers and began to sign his
name to the decree.
The prime minister, Carlomarde,
seeing what she was doing, put his
hand over hers to stop her. She
stopped long enough to strike him a
blow on the head that dazed him.
When he recovered himself the doc
ument had been signed and King
Ferdinand was dead.
Calomarde bowed CALAMITY, and
said to her in the words of a Span
ish proverb, "a fair hand can do no
wrong" She replied, "No; but it
can strike, eh?"

was it in 1866 when Prince Charles
of Hohenzollern started for Bucha-
rest, where he was to become king of
Rumania. The king of Prussia
knew nothing officially of it, but gave
the prince six weeks leave, which
excused him from the order to rejoin
his regiment for the coming war
with Austria. He travelled alone
with Councillor Won Werner to Zu-
rich, where they busted themselves
with erasing the marking of the
marking Of the princes linen, reduc-
ing his baggage to an absolute mini

tacled merchant-whose name, the
