First she grew hot, then cold, at

Kirk, at other times hugging that
love closely to her breast.
Finally Helen yielded to Adele's
wishes in that she dressed herself SO
that she might receive Lansing when

trust and faith and truth. And she
was giving neither-yet she loved

Decision Against
Savannah Bank

LOUISVILLE Ga, March 1.-The
case of the Receivers of the Screven
County and Citizens Banking COM
pany, Of Sylvania, VS.. the National
Bank of Savannah ct al, came to a
close here Friday. The result was in
favor of the plaintiff. They were
suing for. certain securities to the
amount of $4,000 which it was al
withholding. The verdict gave the
plaintiffs $4,000. The case will be
appealed, it is stated.
Judge Hardeman presided in this
case, which was one that rad been
changed from the Ogeechee circuit
to the Middle circuit, because of the
inability of Judge Lovett, of the lat
ter circuit, to draw a competent jury
in Screven county for the case, mas
much as there was some connection
with almost every man with the case
in one way or another that disquali-
fed them from serving as jurors. The
case consumed four days, but the
jury was hardly four hours in reach
ing a verdict.

J. 1t was really wonderful how
she deferred to .+<cle IN this,
the thing that might 30 vitality at
feet her She had not intended to
confide this thing to Adele, but be-
cause of her sympathy, her vital
comprehension, she had talked
straight out of the distraction of her
own thoughts. She had no linking as
to what Kirk would do. She believed
that if he knew this, the last and
most terrible secret, ne would de-
spise her.
She asked herself: what is forgive
ness? Is it to feel exactly the same
as we did before the need was there?
1t seemed to her that this would be
impossible for Kirk. Years might
soften, go far toward cancelling it all:
But years were just what she could
not wait for. To let him know now,
and let him hate her, was too hard.
Better let him learn the truth later,
have a little time of happiness first.
The impulse that knows nothing be-
yond the present hour urged her to
silence; the impulse that reckons
nothing but itself, that is willing to
buy an hours happiness at any sac
rifice urged her, strained violently
upon her. But almost unconsclously
her reason rebelled. The aftermath
would be too terrible-loss not only
of Kinks love but of all respect. SO
far as she had gone she had been
honest with him, had told him all;
then he had decided. But this was
so different-this looked like, even II
it were not deliberate sin, wanton's
dislike to face the world alone.

remembered now. She and Adele had
gone to church one Sunday and that
had been the preachers text. Was 1T
true? No matter if that sin had in
jured no one but yourself, would it
find you out just the same?
Adele had sail it would be fatal
mistake to keep it from Kirk. But
Adele was young, silly, full of no
tions. She was only twenty-eight
years old. The better portion of her
life lay before her. Why should
she lay it in ruins?
"He won't give you UP. I know he
won't" Adele had said over and
over, her arms about Helen. He
adores you, as if anyone could not
see that"

troublesome, but it Is time and money
we'll spent. You will keep your live
stock in good condition with the con-
sumption of less food than would
otherwise be possible. 1t is desirable

little clean peavine, millet or sor-
ghum hay in the middle of the day.
You can also use small amounts of
alfalfa or mixed hay of any kind you

RAPE AS A GRAZING CROP
w. NJ. r., Marietta, Ga, writes:
How soon can rape for grazing
hogs be planted in Cobb county?
In q hog pasture composed of
three square adjoining acres and
furnishing continuous grazing,
will it be necessary to ring the
hogs, and how many hogs could
this area support?
Rape is comparatively hardy
plant and will resist a good deal of
cold weather. If one We're able to
prognOSticate the weather, there
fore, it would be an easy matter to
advise you when would be the best
time to plant rape in Cobb county.
We have tried planting this crop
here in Athens in January and Feb
ruary on a number of occasions. A
hard freeze. however, has nearly al
ways killed the rape while it was
very small. This has deferred US
from planting it in recent years until
about the last week in February or
the first of March. We have seen
many seasons when planting could
have been done much earlier. The
sooner you can plant it the quicker
the crop will develop and the larger
amount of grazing you will obtain
therefrom. To be safe, however, we
would not advise planting before the
dates indicated.
Our thought would be that you
could not maintain over two brood
sows on the area of land indicated.
In addition you should have a graz
ing area of Bermuda sod in when
they can run at will. A piece OIL
rather open woodland Will serve just
as well, provided it can be conVen-
iently reached by the hogs.
We do not ring our hogs that we
maintain on grazing crops. Our plan
is to build a very strong fence
around the grazing area. We prefer
to use locust posts, which we sing
into the ground to a depth of 3 or 30
feet. We then put about two barbed
wires at the bottom, one under the
ground and one at the surface. A
32-inch wire is then put on the posts
and drawn tightly. We think it bet
ter to put it on the inside of the
posts so that it will not be pushed
off by the hogs. We, also put
barbed wire around the top. We
have been able to confine our hogs
very very successfully by this arrange
ment. There is no doubt but that
you can grow a great part of the feed
needed for the maintenance OF your
brood sow and her pigs on grazing
area which has been properly laid
out and on which you. can MAINTAIN
a satisfactory succession Of grazing
