Putnam was thrown into the depths this week. when it became known that business conditions that have forced thousands of New England textile op- eratives into idleness had at last reached this city. making if necessary for some of its mills t0 further curtail an already diminished manufacturing schedule or else to cease operations al- together. these retreuehment measures throwing additional scores of people out Of employment.
 Al the Putnam Mfg. Co. it is stated that the wretched state Of the textile business generally is the cause Of the spinning department being closed down last night for an indefinite peri cd. The entire weaving department will maintain operations until next week Thursday night. for the purpose of turning yarns on hand into finished product. With next Thursday night will come the closing of this depart ment and of the mill The management can give no further encouragement than to say that the shutdown will continue for an indefinite period Whether this would be a fortnight or a much longer period. the management is not prepared to say.
 Eureka Plant to Close
 The Eureka plant of the H. K. H Silk Company is to close in a week or so--as soon as the plant has run of the silk now in process. When this job is completed. workmen will start moving the machinery into the Pow hatan plant at the head of Main street.

EXPERIENCE.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural TO their
sex They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan's Pills-a stimu-
liant diuretic This Dawson case is
one of many:
Mrs. L. S. Dozier, 4O2 Vine street,
says: Mornings woke up with a
severe pain in my back. Many times
I got up with terrible headache and
walked the floor about four o'clock in
the morning. Ny kidneys acted too
often and my feet bloated so badly
| couldn't wear my shoes. Doan's
Pills helped me right away and three
boxes cured me of the ailment"

The following account OF soil-im-
provement work on a Georgia farm
appeared in recent issue of the Jack
son News:
The writer who said civilization
will blaze a trail to the door Of the
man who writes a better book, paints
a better picture or makes two blades
OF grass grow where only one grew
before knew what he was talking
about.
The farm OF R. L. Hastey, at Chip
lev, Harris county, was the scene OF
some trail blazing few weeks ago
when farmers, county agents, bankers
ard business men from all portions OF
Georgia gathered to inspect an out
standing example OF soil-improvement.
They came, they saw and went away
convinced
The Hastey farm is typical OF
thousands OF others in Georgia. Six
wears ago it was an ordinary run
down cotton farm, having its share OF
gulleys and bare spots. Parts OF the
farm are still poor, no better and no
worse than thousands OF others in the
state. But considerable portion OF
the farm has been made rich by grow
ing crimson clover and vetch as win
ter cover crops.
About six years ago Mr.. Hastey,
who farms on an extensive scale, be-
gan his campaign OF soil improvement,
The State College of Agriculture was
instrumental in arousing Mr.. Hastey' S
interest in trying out crimson clover

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND THE FLU

To break up a cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calotabs, t ne nausealess
Calomel tablet, that is purified from dan
gerous and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style caIomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians.
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of water,-that's all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your sys-
tenn feels refreshed and purified Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family pack
age Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists Your money back if you are not
delighted-adv

Run Dovn Georgia Farm Made
Fertile By Growing Vetch and CloUer

and hairy vetch The results have
more than exceeded his expectations.
Now his farm is pointed to as a mod
Ell. He is a pioneer and trail blazer in
soil improvement, just as Evans Luns-
ford is in pasture building.
"On that part of his farm where
clover and vetch have been planted
for few years Mr.. Hastey has some
wonderfully fine crops growing. He
has cotton that looks good for a bale
to the acre. His corn without any
fertilizer whatsoever is as good as can
be found anywhere. The corn was
planted after clover and vetch, and is
much better than that on an adjoin-
ing farm where nitrate OF soda was
used.
mot only has Mr. Hastsy improved
his soil but he has done it in an eco
nomical way. He has done nothing
that other farmers of Georgia cannot
do. He followed campaign as out
lined by the college authorities. Now
his success is being studied by farm
ers, county agents and business men.
The Chipley meeting was attended
by people as far away as one hundred
and fifty miles. They want to know
more about this soil improvement
game. They are alert and attentive.
Soil Improvement, through the use OF
winter and summer legumes, will be
preached from a thousand stumps.
Hard-headed bankers are interested.
They want to see the farmers build
up the waste places and make Geor-
gia blossom like a rose. 1t can be
done. Mr.. Hastey has done it.

AMERICAN WOULD
BARE BIG RUM RING
HELD IN FRENCH JAIL FOR
PIRACY PLOT, is BARTERING
FOR HIS FREEDOM

All the methods and members OF a
giant American rum ring which SNUG
giles 10000 cases OF liquor into the
United States every month may be-
come known as result Of the trial at
Brest, France, OF Max J. Phatt, OF
New York city, on charges OF conspr-
ing to commit piracy, In exchange Tor
intervention on the part Of the Amerl-
can authorities Phaff is reported to
have promised a revelation OF the
rum rings operations and scope
Will Reveal Names.
In exchange for his liberty Phaft
has offered to reveal the names OF
members of the ring, tell what banks
are giving the organization financial
support, and disclose where the liquor
is bought, sold, and delivered, Phatt
declares the organization IS the big
gest in operation in the world and con-
trolls the rum row" off the Atlantic
coast.
A big bank in Canada, he has hint
ed, is one\ of the principal financial
parts of the organization, while many
New York city millionaires are mem
bers of the ring. The liquor is bought,
he is ready to testify from leading
firms in England and France.
American prohibition authorities, in
formed of Phaff's Offer said the mat
ter would be taken under consldera-
ton and agents OF the federal govern
ment might question Phaff. This ques-
tioning would determine the future
course of action, it was said.
The French authorities also have
promised an investigation. The full re-
suits OF their probe, regardless of who
may be concerned, will be made
known, it is said The French naval
authorities have charge OF the case,
Arrested for Piracy.
Phaff was arrested for piracy after
freebooters looted the liquor ship Null
house, French steamer, off the Ca
madam coast. Phatf was arrested in
France. He proved an alibi, however,
and the charges of piracy were dropp-
| ed Conspiracy charges were made in
/ their place These charges Phatt de-
MES. He is in jail at Brest, the sea-
coast city of France.
Phaff told the authorities that a ship
owned by him had been looted and
that his arrest was caused to prevent
him from testifying in the trial OF
men held for the piracy, at Montreal,
Canada. He asserted that he had I'M
limited financial backing and there
fore did not need to resort to piracy
as a means of furthing his business.
Got Unlimited Credit.
Phaff told the French authorities
that he obtained unlimited credit from
Canadian bank and was making a
fortune in the liquor smuggling bust
ness. He refused to tell anything
more, however, until he has heard
from the United States authorities re-
garding his offer to barter for his tree
dom. Phaff said that a number OF rlcF
men in New York are tending to his
! business while he is in France, 1t was
announced by the authorities.

SIX BOLD PIRATES
WHO BECAME FAMOUS
HALF-DOZEN OF THOSE WHO
SAILED SPANISH MAIN LEFT
THEIR NAMES IN HISTORY.

OF all the pirates who sailed the
Spanish Main there are six who lett
their mark-in most cases black blot
on the pages of history. Any one
who pretends to know anything about
pirates should be familiar with the
names of this famous half-dozen, says
the Washington Star.
D'Oregon was the first real govern
or of Tortuga, the island which was
the pirate den. He was able to handle
them as no one else could When he
was IS he was an officer in the French
marines and was sent to the West In
dies with a colonizing group.
The scheme they had in mind fell
through, so young D'Oregon tried to
settle in Martinique. There he had
trouble with the governor, who de
ceived and mistreated him. Angry and
revengeful. D'Oregon sailed to join
the pirates and in a short time be-
came their governor and director.
Was Once Slave.
Bartholomew Portuguese was a
fearless pirate who became famous for
his many narrow escapes and his will
lingness to stick his head into any kind
OF trap-and he always got away.
LOllonais was a Frenchman who
was kidnapped when he was Just a
boy and worked as a slave on a West
Indian plantation Later he escaped to
join the pirates He was noted for his
cruelty. His chief pleasure was burn
ing up captured towns
Henry Morgan is perhaps the most
famous pirate. He was a Welsh farm
boy with a love OF adventure, and so
he ran away from home, gong on a
ship bound for Barbados. The cap
tain of the boat sold the boy into sla-
very and. like many another pirate
as soon as he became free Morgan
Joined the British pirates on the Island
OF Jamaica. SO well did he do that he
soon bought a share in a pirate vessel
and shortly afterward he was made its
captain.
Natural Leader.
He was a natural leader and began
running other pirates with high
hand. He did away with the pirate re-
public and set himself up as king Of
the pirates.
Blackboard was the hercest looking
pirate you could imagine He had a
long black beard, which he braided
into little tails with colored ribbon.
Sometimes he lighted tapers in the
end OF it! He had come OF respect
able English family and was a sailor
when he joined the pirates. He boldly
raided along the coast of North Amer
lea, where he was aided by a colonel
named Bonnet
Blackboard decided to quit pirating
at one time and settled down in North
Carolina and was even pardoned by
the governor. The spell OF piracy drew
him out again, however, and with
Bonnet he went back to his old trade
He was finally killed in a thrilling
battle with a ship sent out by the
governor Of Virginia under command
of a Brave young officer, Lieutenant
Maynard. Bonnet was later captured
and hanged.
Father a Clergyman.
Captain Kidd was the last OF the
famous pirates His father was a
Scotch clergyman
He kept up his pirating until his
name became so famous that England
sent out a special warship to capture
him. He was arrested and hanged.
