STATESBORO MINISTER
GETS REAL HELP
Rev. J. Powell Tells How He Found
New Strength to Give to
His Labors.

Rev. ]. Powell of Statesboro, Ga,
suffered from stomach troubles so Sc
riously that they affected his work.
He struggled on under the handicap
as best he could - hardly realizing,
perhaps, just how much his sickness
was hurting him.
One day he learned Of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. He took the first dose
then decided to take the full treat
ment. He wrote:
Since using the six bottles Of your
wonderful remedy 1 feel like another
man. 1t has been quite wonder to
me to know how one could have a
stomach disease like mine and live
and do the work did. I just escaped
the operating table.
Now l can eat what I please and
It doesn't hurt me night or day" O
AMayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try 1t

The root-knot disease of cotton
and other crops has caused much I'M
usually heavy losses in the South this
season, much of which could have
been prevented, and the infGstatiOn
will be carried over to next season
unless control measures are adopted.
According to the United States ag-
ricultural departments specialists
this pest, which is one of the most
dangerous on the list, can be con-
trolled by crop rotation, and begin
ming should be made this fall by SOW
ing winter rye on infested fields.
Many farmers who have attributed
their meager harvests to bad wealth
er, lack of fertilizer or poor soil may
find on examining the roots that they
are covered with swellings or gals
of varying sizes, caused by the min
ute eelworms or nematodes that are
becoming so common in sandy soils
Severely diseased plants either die or
are distinctly stunted with a sickly
yellowish green color on both leaves
and stems.
The most satisfactory method OF
controlling root-knOt of cotton and
other field crops is one in which in
tested fields can be planted for a
period of years to crops resistant to
the disease, and at the same time be
kept free of all susceptible weeds
In this way the number of nematodes
can be greatly reduced, if not elm
mated; for it has been found that
they entirely succumb within two
years VIXEN the soil is kept free from
the kinds of vegetation on which they
live.
The farmer may choose from the
following list of crops immune or
resistant to root-knot those best suit
ed to his needs: Barley, beggarweed
Brabham cowpea, broom-cOrn millet
rye, corn, crabgrass, iron cOwpea
peanut, pearl millet, sorghum velvet
bean, wheat and winter oats. The
above are safe on infested land, but
the following crops susceptible to
root-knot must be avoided: Alfalfa
asparagus, beans, beets, cantaloupes,
celery. clover, cotton, cowpeas (all
except iron and Brabham), cucum-
bers, figs, Irish potatoes, mulberries
okra. peaches, soy beans, sugar cane
sweet potatoes, tobacco, tomatoes
vetch and watermelons.
In view of the fact that root-knot

REALIZED DEAREST
WISH OF HER LIFE
Mrs. TaliaferrO Thompson Lived to
Celebrate Golden Anniversary, But
Died the Following Day.

WASHINGTON, D. ca daughter
of the old South, Mrs. Mary Taliafer-
70 Thompson, celebrated her golden
wedding anniversary here yesterday,
realizing the dearest wish of her de-
cIining years. She died this morn
ing in Sibley Hospital clutching in
her withered hand bouquet of roses
sent to her by the president of the
United States.
Head bowed and heartbrOken Mag
nus Thompson, her husband of half
a century, knelt sobbing at the bed
side. He was a private in the Con-
federate army when they first met at
Berryville, Va, while he was con-
valescing from wounds received in
battle. For years past he has been a
librarian in the war department.
Mrs. Thompson, who was II years
old, has been i'll in the hospital for
months. Her husband has been with
her constantly AS their golden we'd
ding day approached her great hope
was to live to celebrate the day with
the man of her heart. President Will
son heard of the case through his
physician, Dr. Grayson, and sent to
the dying woman a bouquet of the
most beautiful roses in the white
house conservatory. She lapsed into
Inconsistencies at the end of her
happy day and died this morning
with smile on her face.
Mrs. Thompson organized the
Stonewall Jackson chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy here,
was honorary president of the ma
tional body, was a member of the
Southern Society of Washington and
also of the Southern Relief Society

JOHN BULLS SUBMARINES

In Twelve Days Sank Twenty Ger
man Ships TotaIing $4,000 Tons.
Not so spectacularly brilliant as
the Emden, perhaps, and the other
German raiders that corruscated over
the seven seas in the early days of
the war, but as to results quite as
business-like, is the British naval SER
vice when it comes to sinking ships,
plain destruction and devastation.
For in the IL days between OctO-
Der II and % John Bulls subma-
rines sank 20 German ships, totaling
80, 900 tons. Here are their names:
Lulea, Germania, Director Reopen
hagen Nicomedia, Walter Leonahrdt,
Svania, Gertrude Pyrgos, Emgard,
Babylon, Pernambuco, Soderhamn,
Johannes Russ, Dalarfven, John
Wulf, Electra, Rendsburg, Glaven,
and two named Hornosand.
Every dog has his day, is an old
saying. German submarines plowed
the seas early in the war and took
their toll. They say John Bull mud
dies and muddles badly, but he ap-
pears to be ''muddling through. !"
Lately we have not heard so much of
the German unterseeboten. Is it true
that England has been destroying
them, as has been intimated?

FLIES CAN FLY NEARLY
MILE ON STRAIGHT JOURNEY
Cambridge Professor Has Devoted
Much Study to the Insect.

The distance which a fly can jour
ney and the direction in which his
fight is likely ollie are questions i'm
portant enough to have been recently
discussed before the Cambridge Phi
losophical Society by DR.. E. Hindle.
The relations of this pestiferous little
insect to the public health are so i'm
portant, indeed that the doctor has
devoted profound study to its habits.
He recently secured some $4,000
of the insetcs, and after busting them
purpose of Identification set them
free. In the meanwhile he had ar
ranged for many stations at varying
distances, where the flies might be
trapped. A good many of those which
he had marked were so captured.
The flies were released under ordi-
nary weather conditions and with
out any efforts toward influencing the
flight the purpose being, of course,
" dSCcI tClu Illtll IIOl maj ia D4to' L lAC
experiment showed that these insects
in migrating fly against the wind, or,
at least, obliquely thereto.
The longest flight accomplished
was 2,296 feet. The course of this
fly was over open country and com
paratiyely free from trees. The great
est distance travelled by any in city
was approximately 1,400 feet.
The figures seem to indicate that
the fly may travel about half mile
in ordinary circumstances although
