WHAT OUR FARMERS ARE

Mr.. ID. ID. Carlson IS pushing his
Garrison Five-lock" cotton TO
greater success. A careful count Of
several stalks in his field this week
demonstrates between l27 to 200
boils to the stalk Cotton like this
exhibited at fairs would run close
first with our friend Broadwel OF
Milton county, who has made quite
reputation with his "Broadweli
double-jointed." We are glad that
Mr.. Garrison has something that he
likes and is making good with it. A
proof Of the growing popularity Of
thi, cotton, Mr. Garrison gets more
orders for seed than he could pos
sibly fill and it seems that every pur-
chaser al home or abroad are salts
fed by the fact that they get others
to purchase and grow the Garrison
cotton The success Mr. Garrison
IS making with his cotton will give
some idea what farmer can do in

1t may be Of interest to farmers to
state that Mr.. Garrison's cotton is
being tested at several plots in this
state and also i'll Mississippi by the
side OF dozens Of other good varie-
ties to sec how it will show up with
other cottons. We have not got the
complete returns yet but from what
we have heard from time to time it
is making good. We cannot take
these tests for one year as conclusive,
but record OF 8 or 10 years will show
fairly well what it will do 1t must be

DRAGGED 4 BLOCKS
but SLIGHTLY HURT

Willie Shineyhouse, colored, who
lives at 1918 West Jackson street,
without the consent of the driver,
swung to an auto truck of the gas
company yesterday, riding for several
blocks before the negro operator dis
covered him.
Shineyhouse, while the truck was in
motion, the police report had it, tried
to leave without the knowledge of
the driver, and as he jumped off his
coat caught and he was dragged, his
body dangling from the truck, for
a distance Of five or six blocks, until
the drivers attention was called TO
the condition at the back of his truck.
Brought to a stop, the truck was
found to have traversel quite a dis
lance, and the boy was badly bruised.
but not seriously hurt. Had the truck
not have been stopped as soon as it
was, it is believed he would have been
fatally injured.
AS he rode the truck without per-
mission, no arrest of the vehicle
driver was effected.

The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains the

beef and cod liver peptones, iron,
manganese peptonates and glycero-
phosphates.
We ask every rundown, over
