What South Georgia Has Done
We Also Can Do, If We Try.

A few years ago the farmers of
South Georgia were in the depths OF
despair. The boil weevil came and
ruined their cotton crops and they did
not know which way to turn. They
had not diversified their farming as
they should and when cotton was no
longer a dependable crop they were
at a loss to know what to do.
Now, after several years of the boil
weevil, they have learned the great
lesson, and many banks of that sec
tion are lending money to their cor
respondent banks in other sections.
Whenever banks have more money
than they can use for their own
people then conditions must be very
good in those localities. We know of
one bank in South Georgia city,
about one-ffth the size of Augusta
that has loaned hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to its correspondent
bank. This money is being loaned on
cotton, for loans on cotton at eight
to ten cents per pound are good
loans. There are none better for cot
ton is far below the cost of produc-
ton.
We are telling the story of what
happened in South Georgia so that
our own farmers may take heart.
They feel now that they do not know
what to plant. They do not know what
they can sell, hence they do not wish
to plant crop of some commodity
and then not be able to sell it. And,
in this connection, The Chronicle
wishes to stress the idea that there
will be a market provided for pea
nuts in Augusta, for we have the
word of the Southern Cotton Oil
Company that it will purchase all the
White Spanish peanuts raised by far
mers in this section. We hope that
the market will be good and the price
of $50 per ton average for the last
crop will be bettered considerably.
However, no one can foretell what
the price will be, and there can be no
promises made on this score.
The business way to get at this
peanut matter, however, is for the
agricultural agents in both Georgia
and South Carolina within radius
of fifty miles of Augusta to make a
survey as to the number of acres to
be planted in peanuts and by the 18th
of May, or before, report the acreage
to the Southern Cotton Oil Company
so as to induce this company, should
the acreage be very large, to make
complete preparations to handle the
crop, either by building a shelling
plant here or making other arrange
ments that may be necessary. The

RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
Interesting Relics Recently Brought to
Vancouver From the Land
Where He Perished.

After being In the possession OF the
thrifty natives of King Williams land
for three-quarters of century,
large number of interesting relics OF
the Inflated Sir John Franklin polar
expedition have been brought from
the frozen north by Joe Benard, who
is here after a four years stay along
the northernmost coast of the North
American continent, says Vancouver
(B. CO. dispatch.
Though priceless from a collectors
point Of view, the utilitarian value OF
the relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Bernard for a piece OF
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relics are believed to have belonged to
the distinguished leader, though there
is as yet no positive proof of this.
Benard also obtained number of
primitive scientific instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer-
stiles for which the explorer has been
collecting chronological specimens and
data since 1910. He also br ought a
collection of furs worth approximate
ly $4,000.
Sir John Franklin, with 154 COM
panions, sailed into the Arctic in 1S45
to find the northwest passage, and
was never heard of again. After, many
relief expeditions had failed, his fete
was ascertained in 1859, when bleached
skeletons were found on the trail to
Hudson bay.

John Burroughs recollections Of his
first sweetheart are as fresh and rose
tinted as the cheeks of the little lady
as she ran down the hill to play with
her ardent young admirer of five.
"Uncle John tells about her in "John

friend, DR.. Clara Barrus.

AoAoRED NAME IN MEDICINE
Henry Detwller, Native of Switzerland,
the First to Practice Honieopathy
in America.

Among the first, If not the first, to
successfully practice homeopathy in
America was Henry Detwiler, who
was born in Langenbruck, Switzerland,
December 1S, 1905.
He studied medicine number OF
years before he came to this country
on vessel containing 400 French ref
ugees who left their country after the
defeat Of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was
appointed ship physician, and success
fully treated an epidemic of dysentery
which had broken out during the pas
sage.
Coming to Pennsylvania, he settled
in the Lehigh Valley, and gained promi-
rence.by treating a large number Of
people who were attacked with mys-
terious disease which he finally dag
nosed as bilious collie, resulting from
eating apple butter.
He early made study of the sys-
TEN o. medicine founded by Hahne-
mann, and in 1928 dispensed the first
remedy in Pennsylvania, in accordance
with the law Of similars, and during
the remainder of his life was devoted
homeopathlst.
Doctor Detwiler formed an intimate
acquaintance with Hahnemann, who
gave him a wonderful reception in
Paris, where he met other noted ply
sicians and scientists. He gave many
natural history specimens to various
colleges, founded an iron industry and
finally died at the advanced age Of
ininety-two.-Chicago Journal.
