every purchase, we don’t want you to just take our word for it
but when you have received the goods and they prove to be any

While he is busily explaining other
things, will Hoke Smith please say why
he was in favor of increasing the tax on
fertilizers, which would have increased
the taxes of Georgia farmers $150,000 a
year? Mr. Smith, on the 7th day of
last August, sent a special message to
the general assembly urging them to
pase a bill which would increase the
tax on fertilizers 15 cents per ton. The
farmers would have had to pay every
cent of this tax. It is true that the
legislature did not pass the bill, but
Hokey did his best to get them to do
go. That is the kind of friend Hokey is

Don’t Like It.
A Pulaski county farmer writes to
the Macon Telegraph as follows:
““The farmers of this section don’t
relish the idea of the town fellows (who
expect to get or hold a job under the
Governor) coming out in the country
and telling them to vote for Hoke
Smith, who has fougbt the ‘' Farmers’
Union’’ ; who went to Europe to work
up immigration ; whose administration
slipped free passes to immigration
agents, and who made cotton go down
last fall by predicting a two-million
bale crop. FARMER.”

principle, and not from policy.
__DRY-CLEANING DAINTY GAR
MENTS.
The question of how to clean
blouse waists of crepe de chine,
mousseline de soie, and other fine
febrics, comes up every few weeks,
no matter how often 1t is answer
ed. Here is a way that is recom
mended: Place the waist in some
jar which can be covered, and
cover it with gasolene, leaving for
twenty-four hours at least. After
this, take from the jar and place
in clean gasoline, and look over it
to see that po stains are in the
material; then hang it on the
line in the air to dry; brush with
a clean, soft brush, when thor
oughly dry. No rubbing or scrub
bing should be done. To destroy
the odor of gasoline which clings
to the garment, iron the article,
as heat will kiil the scent on the
clothes. Do not put the garment
away in wardrobe or drawer until
the scent of the gasoline is well
gone; then wrap in tissue paper
with a sachet powder sprinkled
over it.
A HERO.
Not all heroes receive medals,
nor do all heroes have monuments
erected to them. Too often the
heroism of every day life goes un
mentioned, and too often heroee in
overalls are overlooked in our anx
iety to pay tribute to heroes in mil
itary trappings. The Little Rock
(Ark.) Gazette tells of a hero in
overalls, but through a regretable
oversight fails to mention his
name. Two men, both members
of the same brotherhood, were em
ployed under a local agent of an
Arkansas railroad. When the re
cent financial flurry was on in full
force the agent was told to dis
charge one of the men, One em
ployee was unmarried, and he was
entitled to the job by reason of the
longest service. ‘The other man
had a wife and four small children.
The agent called in the two men
and explained the situation. ‘‘l
must discharge one of you,’ he
said. ‘*All right, Bill,”’ said the
‘unmarried man, turning to his
comrade. ‘‘lt’s you for the job,
’cause you've got a wife and a
‘houseful of kids. Me to the road,
"cause I’ve got nobody but myself
to take care of, and I can tramp it
to another joo.’”’ Then this hero
iun overalls shook hands with
“*Bill,”” drew his time and walked
away, jobless and homeless, just
as if he had performed the most
common act in the world instead
of having put into practical effect
a great lesson in brotherly love
and helpfulness,
There is a whole lot of good hard logic
in the following paragraph from an ex
change: “Good schools, good public
roads, intensive farming, home produc
tion of all farm necessities, the estab
lishment of small manufacturing plants
and a bestowal of patronage on home
enterprises are the things necessary to
build up towns, communities, counties
and states, and to all of these things
the people of this seetion should
awaken.”’
The farmers are putting in all the
time they can while the weather is suit
able to work.

dorsed Governor Johnson as presi
dential candidate. They can’t defeat

MAKING A DEW POND.
An Old Method of Securing Water,
Even In a Drought.
There is still in England at least
one wandering gang of men who
will construct for the modern farm
er a Q%OOI which in any situation in
a sufficiently dry soil will always
contain water—more in the heat of
summer than during winter rains.
According to an account given by
G. Hubbard in the Boston Post,
this water is not derived from
springs or rainfall and is speedily
lost if even the smallest rivulet is
allowed to flow into the pond.
The gang of dew pond makers
commences operations by hollowing
out the earth for a space far in ex
cess of the apparent requirements
of the proposeg pond. They then
thickly cover the whole of the hol
low with a coating of dry straw.
The straw in its turn is covered by
a layer of well chosen, finely pud
dled clay, and the upper surface of
the clay is then closely strewn with
stones.
Care has been taken that the
margin of the straw is effectively
protected by clay. The pond will
gradually become filled with water,
the more rapidly the larger it is,
even though no rain may fall. If
such a structure is situated on the
summit of a down during the
warmth of a summer day the earth
will have stored a considerable
amount of heat, while the pond,
protected from this heat by the non
conductivity of the straw, is at the
same time chilled by the process of
evelporation from the puddled clay.
he consequence is that during
the night the moisture of the com
paratively warm air is condensed on
the surface of the cold clay. As
the condensation during the night
is in excess of the evaporation dur
ing the day, the pond becomes, night
by night, gradually filled. Theo
retically we may observe that dur
ing the day, the air being compara
tively charged with moisture, evap
oration is necessarily less than the
precipitation during the night. In
practice it is found that the pond
will constantly yield a supply of the
purest water.
The dew pond will cease to at
tract the dew if the layer of straw
should get wet, as it then becomes
of the same temperature as the sur
rounding earth and ceases to act us
a nonconductor of heat. This prac
tically always occurs if a spring is
allowed to flow into the pond or if
the layer of clay (technically called
the crust) is pierced.
