WIFE IS NO LONGER
HUSBANDS CHATTEL
Florida Supreme Court Says She Has
Right to Be Alone on Public
Highway With Man Friend.
tsy The Associated Press.l

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July pa
wife has the right to be alone with a
man friend on the public highway
without interference from her hus-
band, according to a recent decision Of
the Florida supreme court.
The case came up through hus-
tand meeting his wife riding alone
with another man. He attacked the
nan, and as a result of the fight that
eusued his wife's companion was con-
victed of assault with intent to muir
der. The state supreme court reversed
the lower tribunal
There may have been time when a
wife was regarded as her husbands
chattel and being out alone on a pub
lie road with another man regarded as
sufficient provocation TO justify the
husband in making an assault upon
her companion, but this is no longer
true. when women enjoy equal free
oom with men" said the opinion read
by Chief Justice Brown.
"The mere walking or driving of a
married woman with another man, or
2 married man with another woman, is
not sufficient proyocation to justify an
assault by either spouse. and the
greater freedom of intercourse between
men and women In this day protects
them from unwarranted attacks by a
Jealous husband or wife, who sees in
innocent acts Of social intercourse
combinations strong as proofs Of
holy writ that they are Eagrantly i'm
moral"

Making Harbor in the Paunotus.

Making Harbor in the Paumotus.
AS the long boat rose on a wave, we
jumped upon the cargo. Four Tahitians
were at the heavy oars, with Piri a
Tuahine, the steersman, at the stern,
holding long sweep for a rudder.
Now came as delicate bit OF action
with sails as yachtsman, with his
lnother-inlaw as a guest, might reck-
lessly essay.
The schooner towed us to within 500
feet from the reef. Then, when it must
have looked to a landsman that she
was almost in the reakers, we cast off
the line and took to our oars. The
rnaneuver had been nice seamanship
to save time by minimizing rowing,
but certainly it was not in Lloyds
rules of safety. In five minutes our
boat was in the surf, rolling and tum-
bling. Then I had a chance to observe
the art of the Polynesians, the ablest
breaker boatmen in the world. All
bout seemed to me solid coral rock or
distorted masses Of limestone, covered
and uncovered by the surging water.
but suddenly there came into my fall
tering view as the steersman headed
towards it, a strange pit in the reef.
Into this the water rushed Suriously,
drawn in and sucked out with each roll
of the ocean. The Tahitians, at a
word, stopped rowing. They tugged
with their blades to hold the boat
against the sweeping tide while Piri
q Tuahine scrutinfzed intently the on
rushing waves. He judged the speed
and force of each as it neared him. On
his accuracy of eye and mind depended
our lives.
In few seconds, with a wild shout,
he set the boatmen again to pulling
like mad, while he both steered and
sculled with his long oar. "Tamau tie
painai" they yelled amid boom Of the
surf. Hold on to the wood" and down
into the pit we tore; down and in, the
boat raced through the vortex of the
chute. All was In the strong hands
and steady nerves of Pri Tuahine.
A. miscalculated swerve of his sturdy
lever and we would have been smash
ed like eggshe1ls, boat and bodies,
against the massive sides. But spirit
and wood were steadfast.
In a few twink1ings Of an eye we
were past the reef and in the moat, in
fast shoaling, quiet water, studded
with hummocks and heaps of coral.

a Promising New Variety of Co

a Promising New Variety OF Cotton
In the fight against the boil weevil,
it is absolutely necessary that we
seek out and plant only early matur-
ing varieties of cotton. Realizing
that this would afford one of the
best means Of minimizing the attack
or this insect, breeding operations

early maturing variety of cotton
we're begun by tho Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture ten years ago.
The work has been as literally sup
ported as circumstances would war
rant land some very Certifying re-
suits obtained. Out of all the labor
and effort expended on this under
taking, there has finally been evolved
what is known as College No. l, a
strain Of cotton that is unusually
early and possessed of many other
desirable qualities as well. This va
riety has given such excellent re-
suits when tested in various parts
not subject to the wilt disease, that
it seems highly desirable that our
readers should be acquainted with
it's merits at this coercial period in
our history and informed as to the
scientific principles applied in it's de-
velopment.
College No. cotton originated as
a selection from Sunbeam. The mi
tial work with Sunbeam cotton was
begun by Prof. r. ]. H. DeLoach.
formerly of the Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture. Sunbeam is the
result of a cross between Cooks I'M
proved and Columbia made about, fif-
proved to be a high yielding variety
with large bolls and a greater resist
ance to disease than the Cook cot
ton. The length of lint was about
one inch. which is a better staple
than is found in the Cook. but not
staple of from 1 Is to 1 IA inches.
In 1912 Prof. L. E. Rast, formerly
in charge of cotton industry at the
Georgia State College of Agriculture,
noted one row in the plant to row
selections that was much earlier than
all others and Of a different type of
stalk. A number of stalks were Sc

the plant to row method the next
season and it was found that the
qualities exhibited by the parent
strain were transmitted to the off

thy of being called a separate va
riety.
College No. 1 was developed from
a single plant through isolation by
the plant to row method Of selec-
ton and testing and this method of
improvement has been followed from
year to year since that time.
About $50 or more stalks which
conform most nearly to the ideal in

A Touch Of Winter
My industrious neighbors have
been early gardening in this good
year 1921. 1t got to be as warm as
good old summer time" during the
middle of March, and they got busy,
planted everything-au sorts OF
things-that gardeners are fond, OF
cultivating. The rows of green bean
plants, green cabbage plants, onions,
corn, etc, looked like ribbons on the
darkened soil.

Vile was a cotton farm it would be
a hummer! So the long and short,
green rows made a pretty sight.
Now we are not so sure about the
gardens. We are, more or less anX-
ious about the fruit problem. We
are watching and waiting to see
what is going to happen if it gets a
little colder. When the weather
docs it's do" I'll write you about it.
The bean plants are under cover.
One time-a long time ago--on the
night of April 80. 1854, we had an
experience that has stayed with me,
even if it has been a long time ago.

The onions were blossomfng, the
peas had been stuck" and were in
bloom. Every thing in the garden
was growing with speed and perfec-
ton. Cotton planted had been run
round" Corn was fine and healthy,
and stretched in long rows over the
rich loamy soil. Fruit trees had an
abundance of tiny fruit, in sight.
Then the blizzard visited us. Next
day, May l, was a tune of wailing
among farmers. Al the wheat, was

were killed dead, had to plant over

black-you could smell them all
over the place.

be done over again. l was young,
