ELECTRIC ENGINE WINS TUG
OF WAR WITH STEAM

Pushed backward against their utmost
pressure, two huge steam locomotives
of modern type, immensely powerful,
were decisively defeated in Vulcan
ian tug-of-war contest with single
electric locomotive of new design, in
a recent spectacular test at an east
ern city, as illustrated in the jan
uary Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The electric, furthermore, gave it's OPP
ponents a heavy handicap by allowing
them to start first, gradually bring
ing them to a standstill as the current
was turned on, and then driving them
protestingly but surely the other way.
Five of these electric engines are
being placed in passenger service on
an electrified 440-mile stretch of the
Pacific-coast end of a transcontinen-
tai railroad.

CHRISTMAS BELLS RING
GOOD Will TO ALL men
And Here Is Your Chance To Show
Your Good Will To Your Less
Fortunate Brothers

Wesley Hospital in the very heart
of Atlanta, is doing wonderful work,
yet this hospital belongs no more to
Atlanta than it does to the whole
country. Its doors stand wide oren
to every denomination-to rich or
poor.
In one single year ia counties in
Georgia had citizens treated there.
There is welcome for as many as
there is room to serve.
Some of these patients. of course,
pay for the service they receive. 1t
may surprise many, however, to
know that very great part of the
service rendered by the Wesley Mem
orial Hospital is to those unable to
pay. During the year of 1919 con-
siderably more than half of the pa
tlents treated were able to pay in
part only and 1876 were treated abso-
lutely free.
On january 1st, 1921, the Wesley
Memorial Hospital will move in to it's
new buildings to be located on the
campus at Emory University.
Both Of the Georgia conferences
have heartily approved the asking, at
this Christmas season, for an offer
ing to maintain the charity service
OF this institution. On Sunday
morning, December 21st, the pastor
and Sunday-School superintendent
OF every Methodist Church in Geor-
gia are requested to ask for Christ
mas otfering-this offering to defray
the expenses of the charity service
rendered at the Wesley Memorial Hos
pital.
The Methodists of the state and
every friend of humanity within hear
ing of the call are earnestly request
ed to make as generous a tcontribu-
ton to this great work as they can.

BUY GOVERNMENT HOUSES
AND TAKE HOME BY TRACTOR

To select dwelling from a large
stock OF samples, buy it "over the
counter at bargain price, and then
pack 1T on motor truck to be sent
home, is a novel solution of the
house-hunting problem, says the Jan
uary Popular Mechanics Magazine in
an illustrated article. That is liter
ally what has been happening recent
ly, however, in number of commune
ties where munition plant housing IA
cilities are being dismantled by the
government. All the purchaser needs
is vacant lot, of course, and a foun-
dation for his new home.
Near Cincinnati more than 200
four-roOm houses were sold in two
days at the remarkable price of 5000
each, their original cost to the gov
eminent having been over $1,000.
Purchasers of these houses have been
able to get concrete block founda-
tons built for an average price of
1923 land to secure truck and trail
err delivery within five miles for
$3.50, making total cost of $3.50 for
a well built home.

1t. BRANTLEY HAYNES
ORDERED TO PANAMA

After a visit of few days to his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Haynes,
in Marietta, Lieutenant Brantley
Haynes of the Aviation service, has
been ordered to report for duty in
Panama
He has returned via the aviation
camp at Mineola, N. Y, where he
has been recently stationed and sails
in this week for the canal zone where
he will report for duty at the town of
Ancon.
While at home he related the ex-
perience Of the accident near Bing-
hamton, N. Y, in which the plane
he was plotting was wrecked in MAX
ing forced landing.
Lieut.. Haynes was in charge, with
two companions, of plane number
lot in the coast to coast fight west
ward and had just crossed the Cats
kill Mountains when engine trouble
developed and in making a forced
landing upon the railroad tracks one
of the wings of the plane struck
telegraph pole and demolished it,
slightly injuring the occupants.
They were given immediate aid
and their wounds dressed in the hos
pital of the Endicott-J ohnson Shoe
Company, and are loud in their praise
of the consideration and attention ac-
corded them at this institution. The
Mr.. Johnson of the firm is the faith
er of Mrs. Ryburn Clay of Mariet-
| ia.
Of course the accident put them
out of the cross country flight and
they returned to the base at Nine
ola.
Lieut.. Haynes has had only one
other visit home since his return
from France and does not know how
long before he will again find an
opportunity to visit homefolks and
friends in Marietta.

TWO BALES TO THE ACRE
ON COBB COUNTY LAND

Some time ago in these columns
we wrote of an acre of fine cotton
at the home of Mr.. J. Gid Morris,
of Belmont Farm. Mr.. Morris asked
us to announce that he wanted every
farmer in the county who could make
it convenient, to see this special acre,
and orecord guess as to the yield
of cotton in the seed that he would
gather from this one acre.
The guesses were to be handed to
Judge ]. M. Gam, and when the cot
ton was all gathered Mr.. Morris said
he would make present of some of
the seed to the one guessing nearest
the correct weight of the crop on the
acre.
The cotton was seen by great
many farmers and the guesses ranged
all the way from 1,4OO pounds to
4,500 pounds, the nearest correct
guess being that of Mr.. w. R. Lee,
of Smyrna, who guessed just twelve
pounds under the actual weight of
1887 pounds.
Mr.. L. F. Fortner and Mr.. J. w.
Carmichael evidently used very diff
ferent colored glasses when viewing
the crop, as there was an even 3,1OO
pounds between the low and the high
guesses turned in by these gentle
men. Another peculiar thing is that
the correct weight is almost exactly
half way between these two guesses.

JUDGE MORRIS UPHELD IN
SOLICITOR SALARY CASE

The Supreme Court of Georgia
last week rendered decision in a
case from South Georgia on the con-
stitutionality of the Solicitor salary
law, which upheld the. decision of
Judge Morris on both phases of the
law.
In the case of Solicitor Dorsey, of
the Blue Ridge Circuit, which was
carried up, Judge Morris decided that
the constitutionality of the case had
not been properly presented but af-
firmed his decision.
Now the court has affirmed the
constitutionality of the law upon it's
merits as brought up in the South
Georgia case, thus setting at rest any
doubts as to the case in this county.

BEST VARIETIES OF
PECANs FOR GEORGIA

In January of 1918 more than
twenty varieties of pecans were plant
ed on a test at the Georgia Expert
ment Station. Since that time other
varieties were added to the collec-
ton until, at the present time prac-
tically all of the leading commercial
varieties of the State are being
grown, and most of them are in bear
ing.
Yield records of all the trees nave
been kept since they came into bear
ing, and the data accumulated should
serve US in the selection of varie-
ties for other paintings.
The following varieties have done
well at the Experiment Station, and
we think the prospective grower
would do well to select from these:
Alley, Moneymaker, Moore, Pabst,
Stuart, Schley and Teche.
The Moneymaker, Teche, and Al
ley have been excellent bearers thus
far. However, the Moore, which
fair to equal any of them.
The Stuart, which was attacked
severely by the shuck worm and bore
very poorly for the first three or four
years of its bearing age, has i'm
proved during the last two seasons.
The Pabst does not come into bear
ing as early as most other varieties,
but makes strong vigorous growth
for the first four or five years, and
bears rather light crops, but by the
eighth or ninth year it develops into
good producer of high grade nuts.
Alley, Pabst, and Moore are early
boomers and serve we'll to polinate
the other varieties named.
The trees should be set during the
winter months, though it is possible
to transplant them with good results
as late as March.
Dynamite may be used on rocky
land or where is pronounced hard
pan, but where the soil is fertile and
has been well cultivated, a moderate
ly large hole made with spade or
shovel is sufficient. No fertilizer or
manure should come in contact with
the roots when the trees are set.
The holes should be filled with fer
tile top soil, the surface left loose,
and slightly depressed near the trees
so as to take in water. Moisture
will be conserved, and plant food
added, if few forkfulls of stable
manure are spread over the soil
around each tree as it is planted
Most commercial pecan orchards have
have twenty trees to the acre, giving
| them a distance of a fraction over
46 feet apart. However, many COM
mercial growers now recommend that
the trees be set from to Sc feet
apart.
Trees planted on land uneven
enough to need terracing, should be
placed along the terraces in order
that the cultivating may be done
as nearly on level as possible to
prevent the land from washing.

GROW SOME WINTER LETTUCE

The truckers catering to the local
trade can pick up some mighty good
money by growing head lettuce dur
ing the winter. This can easily be
grown in practically all sections of
the South, either in cold frames or
hotbeds. We have found the south
side of building to be very excel
lent place for this purpose and in the
middle and lower parts of the South
it is our experience that only a cold
frame is needed
Of course it can be forced more
rapidly in hotbed than in cold
frame, but the latter is all that is
actually needed in order to succeed
with this crop in the winter. Let
tuce is a cool weather plant and is
not very greatly injured by light
cold spells. We recommend the plant
ing of it in the cold frames or hot
beds, in rows about six or eigth inches
apart and the plants in the rows, six
or eight inches apart. Then when
they commence to head, cut out ev-
cry other head, which will leave more
space for the plants remaining to de-
velop more fully. Plants set now in
cold frame or hotbed should head up
and make good lettuce before warm
weather comes in the spring, and we
believe that every trucker catering to
the local markets who may have lit
tie time to spare during the winter,
will find this a good method of in
creasing his income. - Progressive
Farmer.

NOT ALL OF IRELAND
is FOR INDEPENDENCE
A Large Influential And Less Noisy
Class Is For Remaining A
Part OF Britain

From the continuous and insistent
manner in which the course of Irish
Independence is heralded in this
country some may suppose that the
whole of Ireland was clamoring for
separation from the British connec-
ton, but such is really far from the
case.
Recently arrived in this county are
seven delegates from the Ulster
Unionist Council who make a fair
statement of conditions in Ireland.
They are particularly severe on the
Sim Fem propaganda which is being
brought here from Ireland, and their
statement below is we'll worth read
ing.
"As an official delegation from the
Episcopal, Methodist and Presby-
terrain churches of Ireland to the
United States of America, we wish
first to convey the greetings of the
people we represent to the people of
America. We are not here on finan-
cial campaign. We are not here on
a political mpaign-America poll
tics is matter for Americans, and
British politics is matter for Brit
ishers. We are here in the interest
of law and order, of truth and hon
esty, of fair play and principle, to
protest against the pernicious propa-
ganda which is being spread in your
country in relation to Ireland.
Our mission is not sectarian; we
raise no religious issues. Our mis-
sion is to say to Americans that the
Sim Fein movement in Ireland.
which is spreading it's propaganda in
America, is not solution in the Irish
question; that it is radical and de-
structlve in its methods; that it is con-
Quoting in Ireland a campaign of
coercion, threats and assassination
and that it is not supported nor respec-
ted now by the better type of people
in Ireland, whether Catholic or Pro-
testant, who have no interest or ure-
JUDGED motive.
THAT it was the party of the re-
belllon during the war; that it sup
ported and furthered the cause of the
Zoe; that it was traitor to the allied
cause, we wish to point out to the
people of America. Naturally in
America you would favor republic
can form of government. The Sim
Fem calls itself a republic. Therein
lies the danger. 1t is movement
akin to the bolsheviki republic in
Russia. Their methods are alike.
I'VE are here to say to America
that this element is, according to
their own announcement, asking the
American people for several millions
OF dollars. 1t is your right to do
as you please with your gifts, but
we feel that you ought to know the
purpose and object for which these
millions are being raised. The re-
public doesn't exist and cannot exist.
we are here also to assert our
self-respect. If what these Sim Fein
agents say concerning the British
government in relation to ireland as
to brutality, domination and obiec-
ton, is true, and if our churches are
opposed to Sim Fein-then we are
partners with the government. We
resent their untruthful propaganda:
we are here to help your citizens,
who know the falsity of the Sim Fein
appeal, to inform the American pub
lie on the real situation. We know
our mission will have wide hearing
for the report of your fair play and
honor is abroad in our churches"
