POPULAR ELECTION OF
 SENATOR'S EXPENSIVE
Nearly Half MlNioa Dollars Spent
 by Candidates ia Election.

Washington, D. c. Jan. 1.-Nearly half a million dollars was spent by the candidates of all parties last Mo- vember in the first popular election of United States senators in the history of the government. To be exact, S46O, ,777.25 represents the total of sworn statements of campaign eX- penditures filed with the secretary of the senate by the men who sought senatorial honors from thirty-one states.
 From Various Sources.
 Of this grand total there was con- candidates, $1SS,S47.99. In accord ance with these figures, therefore, the candidates themselves turned in- to circulation for the privilege of running for office, s271,926.26. Sem ators who looked over the figures manifested great interest and it was remarked that should all the senators be elected at one time the cost to the candidates based upon the ratio es- tablished, would be three times as great, or approximately $1,3S4. .O0O.
 Democrats led in the expenditure, with $242,S95,9O. Republican candi- dates spent $156,88433; Progress sives, $55,, ,,15S.94 Prohibitionists, s4,443.23; Socialists, $354.74 and Independents, $1,040.06.
 The average per capita expendi- ture was: Democrats $3,074.63; Re- publicans, $2,852.44.
 Georgia's Big Expenditures.
 The largest expenditures occurred in the state of Georgia, where two senators were elected, the amount sworn to, by all candidates there to- taling s41,942.63. North Carolina candidates where Senator Overman was reelected brought up the rear with total expenditure of $702.65. William Henley defeated progressive of Oregon, who reported that he dis bursed $1O,326.94 and had contrib uted to his campaign $1O,415.93 was the only candidate to exceed the $1O,000 limit fixed by law. Several candidates reported that they spent no money whatever, but the lowest expenditure on record was eight cents, reported by E. l.. Kitchens, socialist candidate in Ohio. Expendi- lures in the New England states were as follows:
 Connecticut $2,7OS.55; New Hamp- shire $6,2222S.

Boys Profit On
Three Acres, $205.49
J. Phil Campbell, State Agent In
Charge of Club Work, Col
Iege OF Agriculture

Maurice Crowder, of Walker coun-
ty, corn club boy, has demonstrated
that he can make a profit of $285.49
on three acres in one season. His
crops were corn, cotton, oats and soy
beans. On the acre devoted to corn
he raised 1865 bushels at profit of
$500 His cotton acre produced q
240 pounds of cotton, from which he
made a profit of $36.S9 The acre de-
voted to oats produced 131 IA bushels
at a profit Of $3.50. After the oats
had been gathered, the land was disc
ed and sown to soy beans. From this
crop he gathered 1854 pounds of dry
hay at profit of 1854. The total
profit from the four crops on three
acres was therefore $285.49.
Soy beans, it will be seen, brought
greater returns than any other crop.
This crop and the oats preceding
made total profit from one acre
$168.31. Thus it will be seen that
the corn club boys are capable of
growing other crops and larger acre.

Protecting Orchards
Against Light FrOsts
T. n. Mediation, Professor OF Horti-
culture, Georgia State College
OF Agriculture

An orchard can be protected
against light 1rosts by the smudging
method. For this purpose there are
smudge pots or orchard heaters on
the market Should these seem too
expensive, a good substitute is afford
ed by making smudge fires of wet
grass, straw, old leaves, prunings,
etc. About 100 small piles can be
placed to an acre, most OF them be-
ing put on the side from which the
wind is blowing. The purpose, of
course, is to keep the smoke over
the orchard. 1t is important that
the smudge fires be used early in the
morning before the sun comes up to
prevent too rapid thawing out of froz-
en- flowers.
AS rule, when the temperature is
33 degrees, and it looks as if the tenn
perature is going lower, start the
smudge fires. 1t can not be expect.
ed that this method will save from
severe freezes, but it can be used oc.
casionally with great profit.

Let The Boy Raise A Pure Bred Pig
Andrew M Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture

Why not let the boy join the pig
club movement? ANY boy between
the ages of 10 and 18 may join. Aside
from the interest the boy will take
in raising the pig, the influence of
proprietorship and value of the con-
structive work upon his young life,
he will find a good deal of financial
encouragement. He may obtain a
scholarship to the short course given
for boys and girls prize winners, at
the State College of Agriculture,
where he will get an outlook and in
SEPARATION that may mean great things
for him.
The prizes he may win at the coun-
ty and state fairs will not only amount
to a considerable sum, but the repu-
tation gained for the animal, IL a
breeding animal is being used, will
make possible fancy prices for the lit
tiers. In fact, the boy may get his
start In life as the result of joining
the pig club.
To join pig club and carry out its
provisions means that he must keep

business-like way
The organization of pig club is

culars of instruction can be obtained
from the State College Of Agriculture,
the club can be enrolled and names
sent to headquarters at the College.
Information about how to feed, what
crops to plant, what kind of pig to
buy, etc, can be obtained from the
expert in charge whose headquarters
in Georgia are at the College of Agrf-
culture at Athens. In fact, everything
Is made easy for the pig club boy. He
will be expected to exhibit at the fairs
and carry his work through in good
shape.
The boys are showing what they
can do in raising corn. Along with 1t,
let the boys show how they can make
the best use of corn by feeding it to
pigs.

Pecan Culture In Georgia

OF Agriculture

A bulletin has just been issued by
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture on Pecan Culture in Georgia, the
purpose of which has been to set forth
briefly and plainly the most important
features of successful pecan culture
in Georgia. 1t is issued in answer to
a widespread demand for information
on the subject within the state. The
College is conducting experiments in
pecan growing, about which 1t will

respect. A side application of fertil-
izer of the same analysis should be
made at the rate Of about 200 pounds

Increasing The Corn Yield In Georgia

Land intended for corn should be
thoroughly prepared. Deep blowing
to accommodate the deep root system
of the plant is advisable. 1t is essen
tial that organic matter be added to
Georgia soils either in the form of
green manuring or as barnyard man
ure or in the form of leaves and lit
ter from the woods, or in compost
This gives not only protection against
drouth, but the decay adds humas and
plant food.
Corn requires a soil rich in nitro
gen. One hundred bushels Of corn
removes from the soil about $50
pounds of this element. At the time
of planting apply not less than 500
pounds per acre of fertilizer analyz-
ing four per cent organic nitrogen, 9
per cent phosphoric acid and two or
three per cent potash. If potash is
not available from Germany, unleach-
ed wood ashes or cotton seed meal

DRINK NO PROOF
OF BAD CHARACTER;
NEW TRIAL GRANTED

A little drink one way or another
is not to be held against a man S
character is the effect of the ruling
of Chief Justice Russell, of the court
of Appeals, in an opinion handed
down yesterday reversing the judge
ment of Judge H. l.. Patterson, of
the Blue Ridge Circuit, in the case
of Waldo Dunn, convicted Of the VOL
untary manslaughter of Henry Tan
HERSHEY, in Fannin County.
In a new trial granted previously
by the court of appeals, the state
had alleged bad character because
of the defendants bibulous habits.
The high court in the present ap-
peals held the lower court in error
when it admitted testimony upon
this point.
The plea of Judge Newt Morris,
attorney for Dunn, upon this point
is as follows:
"Movant insists that sacred, an
cient and modern history, almost
from the dawn of creation down to
this ruling by the court, teaches us
of the good character of good
men who at some time in their lives
got drunk; this list includes Noah,
Princes of the House of David, kings,
czars, emperors, presidents, sena-
tors, governors, judges, lawmakers
solicitors, lawyers preachers and
teachers.
"The Bible tells us that Noah got
drunk and also that Noah was a Just
man and perfect in his generation
and that he walked with God.
"a judicial decision should not be
written in the law books this late
day reversing history and blightine
the good character of SO many o.
those whom the world has so Ions
delighted to honor.
"Movant respectfully contends tina
a man at some time in his life car
have gotten drunk, and still that hi!
general character can be good"

Police in every city and town of i'm
portance within radius of 500 miles
of Harrisburg are watching for Carlo
Conte, an Italian. wanted on charge
of murder.
During a quarrel last night at the
home of Mrs. .NincenZa Lauda, board
ing mistress, at 22S Cherry street,
Conte sent a bullet into the brain of
John Pulmoch. The latter died soon
after reaching the Harrisburg Hospi-
tai. Conte knocked Mrs Lauda uncon-
scious with the butt of his revolver,
and escaped through a rear door into
blind alley.
AT the Cherry street house, it Is said,
that Conte had been jealous of Pull
moch for sometime. Last night when
Conte was asked by Mrs. Laud to pay
his board he refused. Pulmoch sided
with the woman and the two Italians
almost came to blows. When Mrs.
Lauda with Pulmoch and other board
ers sat down at the supper table,
Conte made another ugly remark,
rushed upstairs, secured a revolver
and when he returned, fired several
shots at Pulmoch.
The first shot hit Pulmoch In the
right temple. The second shot went
into the mans body. The police were
called and rushed both Pulmoch and
Mrs Lauda to the hospital. Detective
Joseph Ibach was called in and had
the telephone and telegraph wires
busy all last night. Shortly after mid
night he sent out circulars with a pic
ture of Conte. Coroner Eckinger or
dered a post mortem this afternoon
and will hold an inquest later in the
week.
