THE REAL. . eLyE Laws;
4sEorB9GOrsA auAn Ssss.

GDown ii Cordefe they are sore
ly afflicted with a moral spasm
that makes the old blue laws of
New England look like thirty
cents. We pity any community
that tries to make it appear that
it is better than it's neighbors."
The Dispatch forthwith has made
a search for the real "blue laws" What
has been found is presented as a mat
ter of interest TO the reading public
and not for the purpose of prejudicing
anybody against anything.
The "blue laws" of Connecticut were
so called because they were printed
upon a blush paper. Some of them
were very curious and interesting, as
you will see by this selection from
them.
No one shall be a free man or have
a vote unless he is converted and a
member of one of the churches allow
ed in the dominion.
No dissenter from the essential wor-
ship of this dominion shall be allowed
to give vote for electing magistrates
or anV other officer
No food or shelter shall be offered
to a hereto.
No one shall cross the river on the
Sabbath but an authorized clergyman
No one shall travel, cook victuals,
make beds, sweep houses, cut hair or
shave on the Sabbath day.
No one shall kiss his or her children
on the Sabbath or feasting day.
The sabbath day shall begin at sun
set on Saturday.
Whosoever wears clothes trimmed
with gold silver or bone lade above
one shilling a yard shall be presented
by the grand jurors, and the select
men shall tax the estate three hundred
pounds.
No man shall court a maid in person
or by letter without obtaining the con-
sent of her parents Five pounds pen
atty for the first offense, ten ounds for
the second, and for third imprison-
ment during the pleasure of the court.

GEORGIA COMING WITH II
lWREAT WINTER WHEAT CROP

"
|, Washington d. c., Dec. 30-C0m-
{menting ON the report of the United
States Agricultural Department on the
Earea of winter wheat sown this year,
president Harrison, of the Southern
railway company said:
n THE figures show a gratifying ten
kdency in the direction of crop diver
sification. In every southern state
tIaversed by Southern Railway lines
except Kentucky an Tennessee, the
acreage reported this year shows a
substantial increase over last year
Kentucky shows a decrease and the
acreage in Tennessee is the same as
last year The largest increases are
shown in Georgia, Alabama and Miss
issippi-states into which the cotton
bin weevil has spread. Georgia and
alabama show increases of 13 per cent
over last year, while Mississippi,
which has heretofore grown little
wheat shown an increase of 157 per
cent
"These increases in wheat acreage
Gre in line with increases in other
crops and with increasing the num-
hcr and improving the quality of farm
animals in the south and show that
southern farmers are making real pro-
gress in the way of producing, as far
IS possible, everything consumed on
the farm and of having other things
besides cotton and tobacco for SALE"
