AWARDED WOMAN $4,000.
Son Was Thrown From G. S. and f.
Train and Killed.

In the suit of Mrs. Rebecca Over
street against the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad, for the death
of her son, William Overstreet, a
Lowndes county jury brought in a
verdict awarding her damages in the
sum of $4,000. Overstreet fell from
a passenger train on the road near
Valdosta in November, 1912, and was
instantly killed.
The accident occurred while the
train was rounding a curve and the
plaintiff charged negligence on the
part of the road in maintaining the
curve and in not warning the man
of danger, when he was requested to
move into another car. She brought
suit for 100000.

PLANTING june CORN
MEXICAN VARIETY, 1T is SAID,
WILL THRIVE IN GEORGIA.
Cannot Be Planted Before June or
July and Reaches Roasting Ear
Stage in September.


Now that rains, while not general,
have fallen in various sections of the
county, those farmers whose early
planted corn has been cut short by
the drouth will do well to plant for
late crop. Corn planted in June
has been known to do well in this
section. On this subject the following
from the Augusta Chronicle may
prove interesting and profitable to
Terrell county farmers:
Editor Chronicle: The long
drouth has prevented many farm
paintings. 1t becomes a serious ques-
ton as to what crop can be planted
in the midst of the dead hot summer
and Withstand heat and drouth, and
yet make a good crop. Allow me to
suggest that there is no better crop
at present than Mexican June corn. 1t
is distinct from all other corn. 1t
cannot be planted before June and
July. 1t will yield as well as other
corn, 40 to so bushels per acre of
good feeding corn. For such purposes
it is usually gathered in December.
Than this no corn would be planted
so late; no corn would grow so tall
and no corn will make such an
amount of late forage. Besides its
use for dry ear, barn feeding, it gives
the finest roasting ears for September
and October, and since it grows IL to
10 feet high and makes the widest
of blades it furnishes tbesides
roasting ears) a world of early fall
green forage. 1t can be planted up
to August 1t is usually green until
the middle of November. 1t should
produce two large ears. 1t will with
stand the drouth. These various
uses give this cora a distinct use
and an especial use in this exceed
ingly peculiar agricultural year OF
1914. N. L. WILLETT.

CORN FROM ARGENTINE
SIXTEEN CARLOADS REACH SA.
VANNAH FOR USE IN STATE.
Nearly Fifty Thousand Bushels Has
Been Sold for Distribution in
Interior Points in Georgia.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-More than 16
carloads, or nearly half the cargo of
Argentine corn brought to Savannah
Friday by the Italian steamer st. Fill
lans, from Montivideo, has been sold
for delivery to various interior points
in Georgia.
The work of unloading the 1882
bushels that were consigned to Sa-
vannah began yesterday at the
wharves of the Central of Georgia
railway. The corn was shipped to
Savannah by the firm of Bunge &
Boone of Buenos Ayres for c. B. Fox
of New Orleans. Mr.. Fox is the orig
inaI importer of Argentine corn to
this country and has handled cargoes
through the ports of New Orleans,
Mobile and Galveston.
Those who are familiar with the
Argentine corn claim for it an aver
age of Is per cent. greater food value
than American corn. The superiority,
they say, is due to its smaller per-
centage of water and starch.
Only part of the cargo of the St.
Fillans is being discharged at Sa-
vannah and the remainder, consisting
of several thousand tons of corn,
bran and fertilizer materials, will go
to New York.
Though this is the first cargo of
Argentine corn that has been brought
to Savannah, the product is not at
all unknown in this country. More
than 80 ship loads of it were import
ed to New York the latter part of
last season.
If the sale of the corn comes up
to the expectations of its importers,
Savannah will get several more ship
loads of it in the near future. The
portion of the St. Fillans' cargo dis
charged here is valued at $50, 900.

MILK INSPECTION
DECREASES DEATHS
Vigorous Fight against Bad Pro-
duct Resulting in Great Good
to the City

Milk inspection and the raising OF
standards of milk production in the
city has decreased the percentage Of
deaths among infants from disease
due to bad milk by 100 per cent. since
1911.
In 1918 there were 21' deaths among
infants under 2 years from castro in
testinal disorders directly due to bad
milk. This Is 1913 per cent. of the
tota, number of infants who died dur
ing the year. The record for this year
is remarkably low. Last year there
werc 81 deaths from intestinal disor-
ders out of 207 deaths of children
under 5. This means that 15 per cent.
of the deaths among children are due
to bad milk supply. For the year
preceding, when the milk inspection
had hardly begun to be effective, the
percentage of infant deaths was 22.5
per cent.
The death rate in these two years
of infants from this preventable cause

decrease in the death rate.
DR.. Henry r. Douglas. who took
charge of the department year and
a half ago, is now reaping the results
of his educational campaigns and his
vigorous fight against bad milk. Dur
ing the past year the milk itself has
pies examined 707 were below the
winter standard of 100000 bacteria
per cubic centimeter. OF this number
sol samples, or 81 per cent. Of the
whole number, were under 100000
bacteria, and 273, or 26 per cent,
were under $4,000.
DIR Douglas in his report advises
that the best protection against bad
milk would be the labelling of all milk

the department. Thus detective duty
and inspections would not be so much
needed and the bad producer would
be eliminated.

Best Treatment For

I'll tell you my panacea for all COM
pleXion troubles. If the skin be color
less sallow, muddy, over-red, if it be
rough, chapped, blotchy, or pimply,
there's nothing that will so surely
overcome the condition as ordinary
mercolized wax. The wax literally
takes off bad omplexion--absorbs the
dead and near-dead particles of surface
skin, so gently, gradually, you eX-
perience no Inconvenience at all. A
new complexion is then in evidence,
one so clear. spotlcss, .delicately soft
and beautiful, you look many years
younger. One ounce of this wax, pro-
curable at any drug store, will reju-
venate even the worst complexion. 1t

retiring and removed mornings with
warm water. The mercolized wax

cal one than the cosmetic habit.

and hard to handle. The clothing of
the men was also wet, making a very

that kind of weather. The company
was quartered for the night in an old
empty company storehouse, which
: did not afford much protection on ac-
, count of the leaky condition of the
| roof. The men would find a dry place
to lie down, but in a short time water
would run under and around them
and there was not much sleeping done
that night The men were anxious to
! get into their comfortable tents. but
the rain continued all night and did
not cease sufficiently to start work
until after o'clock in the morning.
| II was Dig lOD TO get the canvas
and supplies out of the cars and the
camp erected, but it was finally ac-
complished.
The most difficult part of work of
this kind and that which gave the
most annoyance to all was the prepa-
ration of the commissary. With wet
wood and watersoaked ground. the
cooks had troubles of their own. but
as soon as that branch of the outfit
I got working right, everybody was
happy
Duryea was then n town of about
| 1,500 Inhabitants, three -fourths of
whom were foreigners of a quarrel

inals making their homes there. OW-
ing to it's bad reputation the town
was nick-named Murder Town. y
The laws were disregarded by almost
everybody in the neighborhood. Dur
ing the presence of troops at this
point the officers of the regiment had
the satisfaction of breaking up and
scattering a bad crowd called the
