A pretty home wedding, centering
the interest of large circle of
friends occurred yesterday morning
at eleven o'clock, at the residence of
Mr.. and RMS. E. L. Sheahan, on Lee
street, when Miss Grace Sheanan be-
came the bride of Mr.. Charles Tison.
Practically the entire system of
sewer and water extensions of the
city of Americas are now ready to be
put into use. Yesterday marked the
completion of the new systems, which
are wide and extended and include
all sections of the city.

On Thursday afternoon at the sur
burban home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George w. A. Walker,
near Ellaville, occurred the marriage
Of Miss Belle Walker and Mr.. James
A. Dupree, very beautiful and i'm
pressive occasion throughout.
At his home near Americas Mr..
Neil Ray has pen of Berkshire pigs

are thirteen of them, and it is esti-
mated that the aggregate weight of
The pigs, when dressed will exceed
5000 pounds, or an. average of nearly
400 pounds each.

Surely this must be an error of

would not have the whole capitol

CATALEPS Y-A
MEDICAL MYSTERY

An extraordinary case comes ov-
er the telegraph wire from Phoe-
nix, Ariz. Two doctors and a cor
oner pronounced George w. Stew
enson dead. But Stevenson's fam
lily and friends refused to permit
burial. They believe he is alive
IN the peculiar state of suspended
animation known as catalepsy.
So rests the Stevenson case as
this is written.
Remarkable case, you comment
Yet Hudson, celebrated physic in
Vestigator, learned that there is at
least one such case of suspended
animation each week in the United
States.
washington Irving Bishop, fam
Gus mind-reader, on several occa-
Slons went into a cataleptic state
and dumfounded physicians NV
coming out of his trance after thew
mad pronounced him dead. There
Is reason to believe that an au-
topsy was performed on him dur
ing one of his frances.
hudson writing 81 years ago, re-
corded this case:
"A lady now at the head of one
OF the largest orphan asylums in 4
western city has been twice pro-
nounced dead by attending physi-
clans, twice prepared for the grave,
and twice resuscitated by her
friends. On the last occasion, ex-
traordlnary precautions were tax
en-, in view of her former exper-
fence. Vigorous treatment restor-
ed her to consciousness.
Upon being restored, the Iad1
declared that she had never for
moment lost consciousness, that
she knew all that went on around
her, perfectly comprehended the
significance of all tests which were
applied, but felt the utmost indif-
terence as to the result, and was
neither surprised nor alarmed when
1t was decided that she was dead.
According to this, death may not
be as unpleasant an experience as
most of us fear.
Catalepsy has always been the
greatest of medical mysteries In
the old days, many cataleptics pro-
baby were buried alive. That fate
Is an extremely remote possibility
now, for science has made great
strides in deaf htests.

pended animation, in which even

brought about by hypnotism. 1t

HAWKING ABOUT COUNTY
SCHOOL WARRANTS

The Times-Recorder did not see
the advertisement in question, but
we take it on no less authority
than that of Kelly Simmons of the
Nashville Herald, land he is an
observant EDITOR, that he saw this
advertisement in one of his week
ly exchanges-the county not men,
toned, that
Bring me your county school
vouchers, your chickens, eggs, etc,
and | will give you a good trade
on them"
Now we had no idea that such a
state of affairs existed in the
south, much less in our own fair
Georgia. This hawking about of
the county school warrants, should
as Editor Simmons points out, bring
a blush of shame on the state.
1t shows that something is radi-
cally wrong with the taxing system
of our state, and especially of the
several counties.
From our own observation there
are mighty few counties in the
state whose collectors, especially
the tax. receivers are at fault and
are not as diligent as they should
be. ai y61aI sa.
Tag receivers, at least some of
them, do not make any effort to
get the wild lands in their county
on the tax books. Year in and
year out they take just the lands
that are returned to them, without
SO much as checking up from the
county map, to see what lots are
missing. The tax collectors are
notisp much to, blame. They COL
lect only-on the lands that are re-
turpedabysthe receiver.
The system now in vogue makes
1t unfair on the man who gives in
his lands at honest values, while
ms neighbor, perhaps, makes no
returns at all. Therefore the tax
rate mounts in that particular
county.
What is needed is the best man
that can be found in every county
tofethe combined work of both re-
celVer and collector, a man who

ana go after the owner who is
derglict.
AS we reflect, there is enc tax
man IN the state, or was several
years ago, who did things accord
ing to our notion. He not onIv
collected on what his receiver mt
on the books, but he found lands
WHICH had not been returned and

The individual counties should
look after ~their school teachers
better, Should make arrangements
Tor better pay, at least to cash
these warrants and not have the
teachers go about shaving their Iit-
Tie stipend for enough money to
suoslst upon. 1t brings reproach
upon the county to happen, and
we are mighty glad that only =
lie" counties can be catalogued ~
the above class.
The finances of Sumter county
we are told, are in excellent shane

one understands that counties have
had to borrow sometimes and +bov
ought to do SO rather than have
teachers discount their script,wbjcb

We are glad to say that our own
good county is absolved from being
catalogued as among the few who
nave deficient methods Of tax
gathering.

Economical Hog Ration
Given by Ohio Station

IN bulletin recently published by
the Ohio experiment station on "sup-
PIGMENTS to corn for fattening swine +"
some figures were given on the various
amounts of feed required to produce
lOO pounds of gain. The pigs used
were pure breds, weighing about 80
pounds each, and were fed in drv lots
Dy means of self-feeders. One LOT was
fed corn and tankage at the rate of -
parts corn to one part tankage. Fig
urlng corn at 40 cents bushel and
tankage at So hundred, 1t cost 50 81
1or each 100 pounds of gain. Another
lot was fed one part corn to two parts
skim milk. Figuring on the same price
Ior corn, the feeding value of the skim
MIX amounted to only $115. or 1877
cents per cwt., as compared with tank
age In feeding value. This does NOT
mean that tankage is always more eco
nomlcal than skim milk. For young
pigs skim milk is superior to tankage |
however If there is not enough milk
produced on the farm for feeding pur-
poses 1t is more economical to buv
lankage than skim milk.

Cut Bone Necessary to
Provide Balanced Ration

One pound OF cut bone for dozen
hens every day Is just about right. On
farms the cost for bones should be lit
tie or nothing. yet some folks think 1t
does not pay to procure bone cutter.
This Is mistake. Bone cutters are
SOW cheaper than many ordinary gar
den tools and are strong, durable and
efficient. The cost OF the cutter Is an
investment soon returned by the In
creased number OF eggs laid. 1t Is al
most Indispensable In providing fowls
with balanced ration. The regular
use OF bone also effects great saving
IN the quantity of grain feeds necessary

Twin Brother to T. B.
Cause of Cattle Loss

1.-THE twin brother to tuberculosis
is one of the names given by veteri
narians to a fatal disease which causes
havoc in any herd where it gains en-
trance.
This disease, also called Johnes
disease, and resembling tuberculosis
somewhat in symptoms and effects, is
not a new one but has often been
confused with tuberculosis, so has but
recently been credited with the seri-
( BUSINESS that 1t deserves. Herds In
dairy states are menaced If this twin
brother to 7. B. once gets its hold on
a dairy animal.
1T is believed that once Johnes
disease gets under way in the animal
death is certain to result from it."
says B. A Beach. veterinarian at the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
''The annual loss in Wisconsin so far
reported may run as high as II per
cent in badly infected herds. The
disease is a contagious one and pur-
chase from an infected herd is usually
the origin of the trouble in other herds.
Another bad feature of this disease
is that it generally affects only young
heifers. Because of this tendency to
affect the most valuable stock and be-
cause its spread is so rapid, this dis
ease Is worse than tuberculosis
Symptoms of Johnes disease show
about six months after the germs of
Infection gain entrance to the body. |
Immediately after calving Is when the |
infected animals are most apt to show
the symptoms.
Infected animals lose flesh rapidly
so that they become mere walking
skeletons. Diarrhea occurs at inter-
vals and the milk flow is greatly re-
duced and finally stops. The disease,
which is contracted through the mouth
IN feeding yards, can be detected by
the Johnin test, which according to Mr..
Hastings, head of the bacteriology de-
partment at the experiment station, is
similar to the tuberculosis test.
THAT much can be DONE" SAYS Mr..
Hastings, through the use of this
