That is happening in the Butte mining

Capital and labor have often agreed

makes the story so full of meaning is
the reason which has driven them into
each others arms. =
For did YOU ever hear capital actually
asking labor to organize union, or did
you ever hear of a union organizing to
protect itself against those who would
squeeze burdensome monthly dues out of
working men to support a strike thou
sand miles away with which these same
workers have had nothing in common?
Well, listen to the tale of Butte. 1t

Good Second Year
Cotton Is Reported
From South Georgia
Camilla Man Reports Two
Bales to Acre From
"Stubble Cotton"

Townsville, Ga, July SO.-(Spe-
cial.)-That growing cotton from
stubbles may be the solution of the
boil weevil trouble would seem prob
able, according to the experience OF
G. B. Baggs, Of Camilla, who was a
visitor to Thomasville this week.
Mr.. Baggs states that he has two
acres of cotton grown from the stub
BILE of last years crop that will yield
two bales of cotton to the acre. Grow
ing just along beside this cotton is
cotton planted this year and well fer
tilted that will not make more than
a bale to five acres. The explanation
of this is that the cotton plant grow
ing from the stubble comes up early
and grows so rapidly that the boil
weevil does not get a good chance at
it before it makes"
The method used by Mr.. Baggs in
growing from the stubble is one that
he would be glad to have every far
mer try, and is as follows:
In the fall, after the cotton MAS
all been picked, the stalks should be
cut down when the sap goes into the
ground ahead of the frost. A mower
is best for cutting, as it does not dis
turb the roots. Rake up the old
stalks. Cover the stubble with two
horse plow. In listing the ground for
planting in the spring bar the stub
BILE off the same way as in sugarcane
3tubble. Side with small scrape
and work around the roots to give
them air about cotton chopping time.
When the first forms are seen, fer
tilize around in the same way as top
dressing for other crops. DONE break
off the suckers that come let as
many come out as will, as every one
will take on fruit.
Mr.. Baggs is one of the largest ana
most successful farmers in Mitchell
county, and his experience with
growing cotton from stubble viii
doubtless lead many to Try it. So
successful has it proved with him
that it seems certain it will do ~
with others. He is glad to give his
experience and method to the public
with the hope that it may help other
farmers of the boil Weevil sections OF
the state in getting ahead of that
great pest which has worked such
havoc with the cotton in the past few
years.

Administrator of Hill
Estate Held By Police

Arrested on a ne eXat process
sworn out by several Americas
men before Judge 2. A. Little
john, as he was about to leave
the state for Clearmont, Fla.
w. B. Mccain, administrator OF
the estate of J. A. Hill, formerly
of Smithville, Lee County, has
been asked along other counts tc
produce the last will and testi-
mony of Hill, which it is alleged
has never been. offered for pro.
bate. In addition to this allega
ton the court was asked to APP.
point a receiver and place Mccain
under bond for his appearance
in Americas August Is, where
hearing on the writ will take
place before Judge Littleiohn in
chambers.
Judge Littlejohn appointed S.
J. Yeoman, of this place, as re-
ceiver of the estate, pending
settlement of the legal contro-
vcrsy and set bond in the case at
$4,000, which was made allowing
Mccain to continue his trip to
Florida.
Acc ording to the allegations in
the petition w. B. Mccain was
appointed administrator of the
estate of J. A. Hill last Septem-
Der, acting in the interest of Mr..
Hill's wife and daughter, who
survived him. The petition
alleges Mccain has taken the
personal assets of the estate out
Of the jurisdiction of the Georgia
courts and that he is not payin'
debts of deceased. 1t further
alleges because he is a non-re-
sident, he is disqualified from
serving as administrator of Che
estate. A final count is that Hill
left a will which has never been
probated. Back of the petition
IS the attempt on the part of
Americas business men, to col
lect approximately $4,000 due
them from Hills estate and
establish whether or not the will,
which they claim was left by
deceased, left any Of the pro-
perty to others than beneficeries

EXULT WHEN FOX is KILLED
English Farmers Glad to Contribute
Money to Exhibitor of Dead En-
envy of Hen Roosts.

1t Is no uncommon sight in the coun-
try to encounter a poor countryman
carrying Il foX-dead, Of course-in his
arms, and calling with it on farmers
and landowners In the neighbOrhood
says London Answers.
He usually conveys it to the back
door and displays it proudly to any
one who will listen to him; then, hay
ing described graphically what Il fierce
and destructive animal the fox was
before his death, he begs for a small
gift Of money.
The custom is very ancient and is
called in many parts Of England, beg
ging the fox" The idea Is this: Foxes,
especially in nominating districts, are
one of the farmers greatest enemies,
and the knowledge that one of these
creatures has been destroyed-espe-
cially the female fOX-iS indeed good
quence, should any poor cottager be
fortunate enough either to shoot or to
trap fox, he carries his victim for
miles round the countryside and dis
plays 1t.
He expects reward from each
farmer he visits and Is very seldom
disappointed. The gifts vary from
sixpence to as much as shillings, and
one day on the road begging the fox
can easily yield the lucky laborer 4 or
pounds.
The skin is also, Of course, his own
property and for this he can some
times secure as much as % shillings
in the market of the nearest town.
