In traveling over the Seaboard
A r Line from Atlanta to Athens,
l*ve* have often been struck with
am- good crops and eviil-nd-* of
good fanning as we passed the place
of Mr. A. J. Hardigree, who- lives
near Winder, in Gwinnett, county.
So a few days ago w went ov- r to
see Mr. Hardigree and to talk with
iajp) and get his ideas as to his
fhethods of farming. He is whst
•We term a cotton farmer Ti. .c is,
he depends upon cotton for i..s
money; but he also grows eum: 0 a
corn to feed his stock.
The 300 acres that Mr. Hardigree
calls his home place; and which ho
devotes his personal attention, is
roiling, gray sandy soil, the kind
that readily washes, it was the
well kept terraces without anv
breaks in them that specially attract
ed our attention. He says:
j* “I atp giving serious thought to
this terracing business. I see some
are plowing theirs up and some
are trying to utiliza theirs by plant
ing a row of cotton or corn, as the
ease mav be, upon them. I have
been moving mine every four or
five years, and find this plan very
profitable. Where the old terrace
has accumulated vegtable matter
will give me three or four rows that
doubles any other in yield, for two
or three years. In my case terraces
are a necessity, but 1 may be able
to modify my present plan so as to
give me better results. I have
plowed up the terraces in some fifty
acres, where I used my disc plow,
but I will throw them up again.
My soil is so easy to wash in heavy
rains 1 must have some kind of a
terrace and I find that they will
break unless I have grass growing
upon them, so as to make a firm
bank.”
Mr. Hardigree made ten bales of
cotton to the plow this year and
sold it as it was ginned realizing
from 12 to 14.80 cents for it. It is
needless to say he is not a kieker.
He is going to try and do better
•nextyear, both as to cotton and
corn- He will try the Williamson
plan, and make his corn on less
area. He says success in farming
depends upon controlling labor and
taking care of your land. The
labor problem gives him Trouble, as
it does many a farmer, but he is
not thinking of giving up, like some
but is going to try harder to man
hige it. and to get an abundant -ap
ply. He says he will have ample
for lino. Mr. Hardigree lias made

the city is in darkness.

water of the Seine has invaded the
entire Ifthyrith of underground
Paris. It threatens destruction
I everywhere.
What new disaster will come to
the water-logged city before 1 the
A ine begins to fall no one can pre
dict. Already the damage is offi
cially estimated at §200,000,000,and
every hour .adds millions more.
The catastrophe promises to exceed
the limit of a national disaster and
become international.
The death rate is also growing at
a frightful rate, and when the epi
demic, which now appears inevita
ble, breaks out it will run into
thousands. Already scarlet fever
has appeared among the refugees at
I v ry.
Among the superstitious there is
talk of the destruction of Paris as
a result of the appearance of Hal
ley’s comet. The authorities are
bonding their energies to the rescue
of the imprisoned und the*succor of
the homeless.
'The public subscriptions opened
by the newspapers have reached
nearly SIOO,OOO, while the Red
Cross and other relief societies have
gone nobly to work.
The extent of the floods in Paris
may be judged by the fact that
about half the length of the quays
within the city are under water,
which is pouring into the streets,
and thousands of laborers and
soldiers are working like madmen
to build cement walls to hold back
the current.
The foreign office and the Hotel
Palais d’Orsay have been abandoned
as the cellars are full of water- The
Continental Hotel and many resi
dences in the aristocratic quarter
are rapidly being evacuated. There
is ten feet of water in the subway
station in front of the Gare St
Eazare, and in sinking of the square
threatens to carry down the adja
cent buildings.
As the result of a conference, par
liament will be asked to authorize
an extension of time for com

Besides the failure to the gas and
electric lighting plants, Paris is con
fronted with an oil famine'. Scores
of oil barges from Rouen are tied
up in the .Seine and the great depots
of distribution in the outskirts of
Paris are flooded. The oil refin
eries at Rouen are endangered. The
situation in the provinces is no bet

supplied with oil from Paris-

STRFNFOL'S TEDDY OVERRULED,
New York. —The indictment
against tie* Press Publishing Com
pany, pn'lishers of I h pew tork
World, charging Jjoscp;. Puiitz<.-r
and other* with criminal libel
against Theodore Roosevelt, Presi
dent Taft and others, was quashed
in tin United States db ru t court.
Judge Hough ruled that the statute
upon which the indicts ont rested
was nut sufficient in amh rity.
The decision is of international
interest, the now famous libel case
having at its inception involved
former President Roosevelt and his
brother-in-law and President Taft
and is brother, Chari' P- Taft.
The publishing by The New York
World and The Indianapolis News
of an article in which it was assert
ed that relatives of form *r President
Roosevelt and President baft were
members of a syndicate to purchase
the stuck of the French Panama
company from the Fr nch stock -
holders when it was certain Dm*
United States would buy the stock,
created a sensation. Tlte America
syndicate was said to have made
millions.
President Roosevelt s- at a gnecial
message to congress on the matter,
and made public coins, ■plence in
which he characterized th£ publica
tion of the Panama story as false,
and asserted that Delavan Smith,
one of the owners of The Indianap
olis News, was a "conspicuous of
fender against the laws, honesty and
truthfulness.”
Joseph Pulitzer, owu<*r of Tlie
New York World, came in for n se
vere scoring by President Roosevelt.
The federal proceedings; in India
napolis against Delavan Smith and
Charles It. Williams, proprietors of
The Indianapolis News, were thrown
out of court, Judge Anderson de
claring the publishers should not he
"dragged from their homes” to
Washington to he tried.
. Tlx- decision of Judge Hough to
day is generally regarded as a clos
ing chapter in the Panama libel
case.
