Why Soils Get Dry.

Most partly rundown soils have lost
much of the organic matter they had
originally. The growing of wheat and
corn uses up the soil humus at a rapid
rate, aud so the time comes when a
severe drought destroys the plants on
SOIL that does not hold the moisture TO
the extent that 1t formerly did. Then
the plants die, and the farmer blames
the dry weather.

There he will be in charge with his
corps Of assistants
AS soon as matters can be shaped
there will be booths placed IN promi-
nent places throughout the city and the
drive for the 1902, 40, the sum to be
raised by Pensacola, will be put on and
every one will be asked to contribute
to this patriotic subscription which
means more to our men in France.

realizes.

small amount of % cents does not ap-
pear very large but Mr. Hervey calls

David W. Griffith's epoch-making
spectacle, 1.-THE Birth of Nation. will
be shown I'm one OF It's original produc-

beginning Monday. This work, partly
from the nature of the new art, partly
fromNthe opposition aroused, has excit-
Cd keener curiosity than any other Of
fcring OF the current season.
'The Birth OF a Nation" tells by film
and music the story OF a nation re-
born through the storm and stress OF
internal strife. Instead of the.four to
six scenes OF the conventional play. its
technique permits of filming literally
thousands of scenes and covering a
wide range OF history and characters.
Slavery, the prime cause OF the war
Lincoln's call for troops to subdue the
Southern States: the ball on the eve of
Bull Run, and the first triumph OF
Confederate arms; the devastation
wrought by Sherman's march and the
awful ordeal OF the siege of Peters
burg: Lees surrender to Grant at APP
lpomattox: the assassination Of the
Federal President; the harsh radical
Lpolioy Of the stricken South; the up
rising of the Ku Kux Khan. and the
overthrow of the carpetbagger regime
these great factors and events pass
lin review before the thrilled spectator.
The love interest OF the play Is based
on the friendships between the Cam

effort was made to save the situation
By writing it on a number Of the bal
lots Two electors voted for the road
tax and one against it in Franklin
county, and pa voted for it and IS
against in Pulaski In an official
opinion, Attorney General Arbuekle

compliance with the law, which re-

the question might be submitted On

JUDGE DECIDES
CLAIMS ARE JUST
Order Issued in Circuit Court That
Sheriff Finger is Entitled to Ex-
psnses in Work of Enforcing
Law.

One Of the final acts of Judge Lake
before adjourning ciccuit court Sat
urday was to pass upon the claims
of Sheriff H. ". Finger, which had
been disallowed BY the commissioners
of accounts The court granted the
appeal from the report Of the COM
missioners and ruled that Sheriff
Finger was entitled to reimbursement
for the expenses incurred.
In so doing Judge Lake has set a
precedent which may have an effect
in deciding similar matters in the
future.
During the past year Sheriff Fin
ger has been called upon to do con-
siderable work which there was con-
siderable expense attached, but on
which the law is not clear as to the
payment of such expenses. When the
commissioners of accounts made their
audit some time ago, they made this
notation in the report TO the court:
These expenses have been incur
red by the sheriff in his very zeal
Gus and efficient efforts to enforce
the criminal laws and to bring vio-
lators Of the law to justice and to
preserve the peace in our county and
to uphold the dignity and majesty
of the law
The commissioners in disallowing
the claim made the request that an
appeal be taken and that the matter
be put up to the presiding jurist for
decision. Judge Lakes ruling on the
matters indicates that he feels Polk
county received the benefits Of Sher-
if Fingers good work in rounding
up slaekers, moonshiners and other
and should pay for such
benefits, even tho the law IS not
puain.
Judge Lake also allowed the claims
Of County Clerk win Alexander and
Circuit Clerk w. L. Parker for post
age, which were not approved by the
