COTTON’S VALUE
LIESJNJHE SEED
State Bulletin Explains
Cattle Feeding to “Geor
gia Fanner.”
‘Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson and State Chemist John M.
McCandless have Just Issued from the
press "fertiliser bulletin No. 44," which
Is declared by the officials at the state
capitol, w£o have seen It, to be the
most complete yet sent out by that de
partment. There are 25,000 on hand,
and they will be mailed to any one upon
application.
The distinctive feature of this bulle
tin Is the series of tetters written by
Mr. McCandless to "Georgia Farmer."
They are live m number and are sup
posedly In reply«to a letter from that
person, stating that he Is "tired of
raising cotton and wishes to raise
stock and writes to ask If chemistry
can throw any light on the subject."
In these five letters Dr. McCandless
gives the complete chemical changes
which take place upon the proper feed
ing of cattle. The language Js simple
and places a science upon the most
practical basis. In his third letter on
the "Science of Feeding," he uses as
his topic "Importance of Cotton Seed
—How the Progressive Farmer May
Calculate the Best , Rations for His
Stock/’ He writes:
‘As I said, we have been raising
cotton seed for the sake of Its fiber
to be spun Ipto cloth when we should
have been raising It chiefly for the sake
of the protein and carbohydrates of
Its seeds to be transmuted by wonder
ful alchemy of the brute creation Into
beef, milk, mutton and pork, with the
lint simply thrown In ns a by-product.
When we consider the wonderful nu
tritive value of cotton seed meal and
hulls, after the oil. another by-product,
has been extracted from them, nnd the
further fact that this rich, nutritious
food may be passed through tho domes
tic animals, giving them life, growth
and development, and yet In that pro
cess lose only about 10 per cent of the
rich fertilizing constituents found In
the original food and yielding a ma
nure of the very best quality. It does
seein as though nature had been too
lavish and generous In her gifts to us
of the South."
In addition the bulletin gives the
complete pure food law and the stand
ard of pure food values as allowed
under the law In Georgia, and how
registration shall be accomplished for
the sale of these articles, so as to com
ply with the state regulations.
ROW OVER HIGH SOCIETY,
BARR QUITS EXPOSITION
Norfolk. Va., Sept. • 18.—James M.
Barr has asked the directors of the
Jamestown Exposition to relieve him of
his duties because of differences with
President Tucker over the social fea
tures of the big show. He says he can
not keep his present position and his
self-respect.
The committee from the directors
had Just smoothed matters between
the director general and the president,
nnd the resignation came us a bomb
shell. Mr. Barr was not satisfied with
the adjustment of differences.
In speaking of the conditions upon
which he consented to serve the expo-
bUlon company, Mr. Barr said:
"The president of the company has
recently set up the claim. In conflict
with the by-laws, that he Is the so
cial head of the exposition and denies
my right to direct the manner of en
tertaining distinguished visitor* to the
exposition, nnd in so doing has failed
to comply with your decision In this
connection, made August 30 last, and
has refused to transfer, upon tny re
quest. certain persons now employed In
his office to assist Colonel Burton H.
Grundy, appointed by me to represent
me In this work. In pursuance of the
understanding then reached with you.
"As the failure to treat distinguished
visitors to tho exposition on the day of
opening and since with the courtesy
Uue them has brought discredit and
great loss thereto, ns Is commonly
known. It Is clear their treatment Is a
matter of business Interest to the ex*
position and vital to Its success."

EXTRA SESSION
IN ALABAMA IS
ALMOST^ CERTAIN
Special to The Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 18.—-The ac
tion of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad In beginning the sale of tickets
with rebate coupons attnchx'd amounts
to nothing, according to Governor B. B.
Comer. When his attention was called
to the latest step takei#by the L. & X.
to Indirectly put the 2 1-2-cent passen
ger rate Into effect In Alabama, he de
clared that If the case Js decided
against the railroad, as he expects It
will be, the road would have to make
rebates anyway.
"What It Is doing now," declared
Governor Comer, "Is merely nn attempt
to appease the public and fool the peo
ple Into believing that It Is complying
with the law. It Is doing nothing of
the kind. Incidentally, I would like to
say the bond the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad has mode In these suits
against the Alabama railroad commis
sion Is not worth the paper it Is written
upon. The latest move of this railroad
will have no effect wnatever upon the
administration program."
This assertion Is understood to mean
thpt an extra session of the legislature
will be called to force the Louisville
and Nashville to put Into effect the
2 l-2-.cent passenger rate.
COLD IN HIS ARM
MAKES HIM LIE
Anston W. Tolan, a nilddle-ngc.1
tramp. Is either the craziest man out
side an asylum or the cleverest crimi
nal who does not wear stripes. Judge
Calhoun, before whom he appeared
Tuesday, thought him insane and dis
missed tho vagrancy case when he
promised to travel to hfs home In Dan.
vllle, Va., as fast ns his legs will carry
him. He Intends to-walk all the way.
With a bag over his shoulder and
his face turned northward, Tolan, who
|j about 40 years old, was footing It
down the trucks at Inman Park yards
Sunday when arrested by Special Of
ficers Buntyn and Savage of the South
ern railway. They made nn examina
tion of his bug nnd found one tin can,
one fine-tooth comb, one cake of goap.
one hair brush, two old hats, one can
of concentrated lye nnd some old news
papers.
• When asked to give ah account of
himself, Tolan said:
"I can't tell the truth. I caught cold
In my arm and It keeps me from telling
anything but lies."
"Where have you been?"
"I walked down to Live Oak, Fla.,"
he said, with a vacant stare, "and I’m
going buck to Virginia. It’s harder
going up than It was coming down."
Examination developed shnckle
marks on his legs. He said that he
wore a pair of striped trousers once,
but hml never been locked up. He
could give but a poor account of his
Journeys and had every appearance of
a crazy man.
"If he was faking he ought to go on
the stage ” said Officer Buntyn, after
Tolan had been set free.
"Tha Twelve” worked a surprise nn
Colonel Walter Andrews Tuesday night
and made him play host when he didn’t
expect It. And they had the time of
their lives.
"The Twelve” I* a little club of
Knights Templars, and the member*

Barnes, John J. Woodalde. Charles
Roberts. W. B. Roberts. Jack M. Wil
son, Ed McCandless, Ed C. Brown. Ed
Clapp and Colonel Andrews. They
called a meeting ut the Aragon late
Tuesday afternoon.
When they emerged Colonel Andrews
remarked:
"I want you boyc t«^come out to my
new house In Brookwood some time
and we’ll have a Dutch supper."
"What’s the matter with tonight?"
asked Forrest Adair, nnd ho promptly

Colonel Andrews protested, but "The
Twelve" overpowered him and made
him steer for Brookwood. He insisted
that there wouldn’t be anything tg eat
In the pantry, but the party Insisted
on going anyway.
When they arrlvf.I at Colonel An
drews’ new home he avoided the house
nnd went down to tho pavilion by the
spring. And here he discovered that
Mrs. Andrews was "In on the Joke."
She had prepared a big round table
with seats for twelve, and eatables—
and other things—for twice that num
ber. There was. nothing left when the
motor cars started back to town, sev
eral hours later.
"Walter Andrews has been promis

of the Southern railway In the matter
of the $30,000 fine Imposed on It for
selling tickets at a rate In excess of
2 1-4 cents, was heard In the supreme
:curt h?re yesterday.
