The New York Herald few DAYS
ago selected number of prominent
people to contribute short Christmas
stories for the Sunday edition CT that
paper, among whom was Speaker
Crisp. His story held the place of
honor on the page. His story reads:
'"Fhe happiest Christmas days man
ever experiences are those on which
his children are gathered around him
enjoying the annual invitation of
Santa Claus, and the joys he bring
to them in so many and varied
forms"
Henry w ailser returned yesterday
from a visit to his cid home in Col
umbia, Ala, where he spent the
Christmas holidays with relatives in
that city.
Mr.. A. r. .Willet and family have
arrived from Tyler, Texas, on visit
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
WiIlet, in this city.
The shadow of the new year can
almost be seen as it stealthily creeps
across the dial of time, while the old
year gradually fades and disappears,
leaving ony the memories of 1892
to mark its passage in the never
changing march of years.

e set who are Re county. with the util-
-I L. D. Hill's mixture, the
'p@A EsYwhich is calcium arsenate.
Th& Nief claim for the mixture,
reference to which has already been
made by The Times Recorder, is
that it contains a secret ingredient
having the property to attract boil
weevis. Molasses, another ingred-
lent Of the mixture, fastened the
poison to the cotton stalk, and the
weeyil is poisoned by what he eats
NOT by drinking as under the
methods endorsed by the depart
ment Of agriculture. Great accom-
pfishment is claimed for the Hill
method.
In the Cough section last year,
it is asserted, woman farmer
tending Is acres, with the help of
her young son and daughter, raised
II bales of cotton under bool wee
vii conditions, using Hills mix
ture. The assertion is worth inves-
tigation. If true, Hill has really
made discovery of vast benefit to
cotton planters. Provided, of
course, the success attained can be
credited to use of the mixture.
That Hill refuses to make public
the secret ingredient in his mixture,
however, makes one suspicious that
much Of the remarkable effective
ness of the poison may be due to
cleverly concealed and widely cir
culated propaganda.
Anyway, it is interesting to note
the plan pursued in applying the
new weevil panacea. The woman
farmer who made such a success
with it made several applications,
beginning Immediately after the
"chopping out" process. The idea
advanced by Hill is to ego after
the adult weevils as soon as they
come out from Information. If
these can all he killed out early in
the growing season, he reasons,
there will be none to be scattered
to the four winds little later dur
ing the migratory period-one of
the most critical in the cotton grow
ing season. The method of reas-
oning is, at least, plausible.
]. Skottowe Wannamaker, presi-
dent of the American Cotton Grow
ers' association, is among those
who have endorsed Hills method
Barrett & CO., Augusta cotton fac
tors, with officers in Americas and
other Georgia cities, are said to
have promised Hill financial back
ing in the marketing of his new
poison. Leading fertilizer men, it
is said, will visit Cough early in
January to make a survey of con-
aitions there, and steps may be
taken through their organization
to give farmers throughout the
cotton belt the benefit of the ex-
peFiments with Hills mixture.
With such success claimed for
the method by men of real respon-
sibility, it would appear to be the
duty ef the department of agriculv
ture to investigate and report on
the mixture. Congressman Crisp
would render a distinct service to
Georgia cotton farmers should he
be instrumental in having such an
investigation started.

Killed Motor on Track;
Locomotive Killed Driver

Rowland Grantham, OF Jones County,
Mississippi, was driving over the
Southern Railway tracks in an auto
mobile last Wednesday, When he had
his machine on the tracks he saw a fast
passenger train bearing down on him.
His motor went dead" The train
struck the car and he was killed,
While We have not the details Of this
accident, it is safe to assume that this
motorist failed to take a precaution
that thousands OF motorists daily
fail to take. 1t is more than likely that
on seeing the train he put too much
force on the acceIerator, gave the en-
CINE too much gas and it went dead. "
If he had put his motor into second,
or better into first before attempting
to cross the tracks, he would be alive
today,
Those drivers of motor cars who
read this might ask themselves how
often they go into second" before
crossing railway track.-Little Rock
