TEARS AND SNEERs IN THE
JAYNES HOME.

IF you are going to allow Clyde to
bring that girl here, am going

scorn at her mother who was sitting

"Oh, Gusty." the mother lamented,
resorting to her handkerchief. why
do you speak so to me? AS IL had

Clyde's being married and not telling
his own mother
You could at least have refused

tart answer.

"Oh, he was such a darling little

FINGERNAILS.

Most everyone goes through life With
lot of fingernails on their hands they
have no use for. Fingernails may be
put to number Of uses such as biting
them or opening the back of your
watch with them, but one fingernail, or
at the most two, is really all the aver
age persons needs. A fingernail on each
Of the index fingers would be adequate
and the other finger-tips could be CIV
en- over to some other purpose. The
money spent yearly in the care and
polishing of eight extra fingernails
adds up to a sum that would endow
handsomely an Institution for the care
Of Detectives who have their Finger
nails Tinted and Polished. If after

your fingernails are useless you can
easily remove them by cracking nuts
or catching them in the door jam.

67HERE is small chance of Idaho being divided by con-
gress, for about the last thing that body wants is

Moreover the national lawmakers would view with min

to around 100000 population per senator. Any
division resolution therefore, would, in judgment
have little effect at Washington political
There will be effect the nation though and it

BRIDE DECIDES TO
STAY WITH MOTHER
FORMER DAWSON GIRL IN RO-
MANTIC AFFAIR. GROOM IN
STITUTED PROCEEDINGS.

When the girl bride of C. J. Price
took the stand in Dougherty superior
court she told Judge Harrell, before
whom habeas corpus proceedings had
been instituted by her husband. that
when she married Price, little over
three weeks ago, she believed she
loved him. She said that she had
since learned she was mistaken and
that her desire was to remain with
her mother and complete her educa-
ton.
Mrs. Price was an Albany school
girl Miss Matilda Barnes, when she
ran away with Price and married
him while on a visit to Calhoun
county. Her mother induced her to
return home and she did not go back
to her husband. He then instituted
habeas corpus proceedings directed
against his wife's mother, Mrs. Lucy
Barnes, widow of the late Bob
Barnes, of Dawson After the girl
bride told her story Judge Harrell
denied the petition. The case has
aroused great deal of interest here
and in Calhoun county, where the
bridegroom resides.

A Pathetic Story.

CHICAGO.-Miss Josephine Park
er, know as 'the mystery woman,
had waited as long as she could
stand it for the man who never came.
She was found dead in a four-room
fiat. There was not piece of furni-
ture in the place; she had been sleep
ing on a pile of newspapers. In a
trunk was found her trousseau. 1t is
believed she had been waiting a
month for the man and the furni-
ture.
She rented the fiat a month ago.
Mrs. Louis Anderson, who lives in
the floor below, told the police Miss
Parker had been eccentric; that she
often ran to the mail box for the
mail that never came. Then Mrs.
Anderson smelled gas. She notified
the police and Miss Parker was found
with her wrists slashed and the tube
from the gas jet near her face. But
the gas had not been turned on.

Nitrogen, the Greatest Plant Food,
The Need of Our Southern Soils


Not long ago we were inspecting
piece of poor hill land in cotton.
One hundred pounds per acre of
nitrate of soda had been given this
cotton in the form of a side-dressing,
but one row through the middle of
the field had received none of the
soda, though it had gotten acid phos-
phate at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre along with the rest of the field.
A count of the matured bolls on
the row that had had the soda show
ed SO in ten steps, against 80 on the
row alongside that which got no nj
trate of soda, or an increase of more
than two and one-half times.
What was true in this case will,
we believe, be found true on most
lands of the South, the exceptions
being limited areas of bottom lands
or fresh lands that have not vet been
depleted of their nitrogen. Over
three-fourths of the South, in our
opinion, nitrogen is the limiting fac
tor in crop production.
But the use of commercial nitro
gen in any form is seldom the most
economical procedure. Nature has
put thousands of tons of atmospheric
nitrogen over every acre of our
farms, and by using peas, beans and
clovers large quantities of this may
be brought down and stored for the
use of future crops.
This month and next hundreds of
thousands, yes, millions of acres of
crimson clover should be planted in
the cotton belt, for as winter nj

vention which will revolutionize the
cotton industry and protect the South
against future scarcity of labor,
young Mr.. Stukenborg is as modest
as a girl.
He seems unconscious of the fact
that his name will survive in history
as one of the worlds great inventors
and that it will be linked with that
of Eli Whitney as one of the two
men who did the most for the cotton
industry. With him it seems to be a
matter of relief that, after working
on it for fourteen years, thinking of
nothing else day and night, he has
finally earned himself a period of
rest.
How They Came Here
Cliff Clay was in Chicago recently,
and by accident heard of the ma
chine. When it was shown to him he
declared emphatically that it would
be a success. He invited the inven-
tors to make their final tests on his
mothers place, in Sumter county,
and the invitation was accepted
There has been no publicity what
ever attached to the long dream of
the Stukenborgs. They kept the fact
a secret from the world. Not even
their best friends knew on what de-
vice Carroll Stukenborg was working
so industriously. They were afraid
of another failure, but now that the
cotton picker is an absolute success
they want the world to know it.
The machine will be made in the
South, with Atlanta as headquarters.
