Bright Sheet Issued
From Prison Walls
Atlanta Nov. 4.—The reading
public in this neck of the woods is
being forced to the conclusiowu that
there are j st as good newspaper
men amony the ranks of the con
victs in the Atlanta Federal Peni
tentiary as are still roaming
around uncaught outside.
Another issue of the prison pub
lication “Giood Words” has just
'made its appearance.
The editorial paragrapbs are
written by Convict No. 3419. e
facetiousty entitles them ‘‘Pen
Points,”
. Apropos of recent disorders in
ther prisons, he remarks, “Per
aps the reason why they number
; all on our arrival here is be
use there is safety in nu mbers.”
Here are some of his others:
‘Be thankful another vear is on
t wane.
¢'is said that every man is
ti architect of his own fortune,

pded operations in their own

Puing aside the lighter vain,
the covict editor jabs this one out,
right raight from the shoulder:
“Diyou ever know of a bigger

Feted and Feasted
Athens, Ga., October 30.—The
eighteenth apnual session of the
convention of the Georgia divis
ion, daughters of the Confederacy
held two business meetings today
in the Seney-Stovall chapel of
Lucy Cobb Institute. At 9:30
this morning and at 2:30 this‘
afternoon Mrs. Waltar Lamar‘
opened the sessions and the day
was almost entirely consumed
with the reports from the various
officers and committees. These
reports showed interest and pro
gress in every department of the
division’s activities.
The fi:st social affair of the
eonvention was the informal re
ception last night after the exer
cises, given by Misses Brumby
and Gerdine, associate principals
of Lucy Cobb. The guests were
received in the parlors of Lucy
Cobb institute by Misses Brumby
and Gerdine; Mrs. M. W. Welch,
president of the Laura Ruther
ford chapter, Athens, and Miss
Mildred Lewis Rutherford, histo
rian ‘general of the national or
ganization of the Daughters of
the Confederacy.
The local chapter was hostess
today at 1:30 o’clock at a lunch
eon, to which were invited the
200 delegates and their hostesses.
This afternoon, after the busi
ness session, the entire division
was carried for an automobile
ride over the city and environs,
the trip ending at the State Nor
mlil school, where 1 deligtful
reception was tendered by the
faculty and students of that in
s'itution in the Winnie Davis me
morial building, which was erec
ted thirteen years ago by the
Daughters of the Confederacy of
this state, when they met in At
lanta the last time.
There was no night session for
business, but a brilliant reception
was given in honor of the dele
gates by Mrs. M. W. Welch at
her beautiful Milledge avenue
home.
Further reports of officers and
committees and reports from the
several chapters of the state will
take up a large part of the pro
gram for the business session to-

“Ben Hill County Fair”
Has Its First Rehearsal
The first rehearsal for ‘‘Ben
Hill County Fair’’was held Thurs
afternoon and evening. The af
ternoon rehearsal was the rehear
sal of little ones. A swarm of
about fifty little girls were pres
ent, each eager to have her little
part assigned. There was not
much time wasted in assigning
as these little ones have parts in‘
only two choruses—one, ‘‘The
Cry Baby Moon’’ chorus, and an
other, ‘‘The Tramp’’ chorus.
““The Cry baby Moon’’ chorus is
the biggest attraction possibly,
as it has the full 120 little girls
in it, and the sight of so man}
little tots all in a pretty little dril!
presents a most beautiful picture.
The other child chorus is also &
pretty interesting part of the en
tertainment, and really requires
more real acting and talent.
~ The evening rehearsal was the
rehearsal of the older character ,
and it was alive with interes:.
‘The best parts of the play were
assigned and read and the musi
'cal numbers given out. Miss t'ot
ter, the director, showed her-eil
well fitted for the work che is
undertaking and each chars~'~»
entered well into the par: sne
assigned. Everyone there seemn
ed to echo: ‘‘Won’t it be fun,”
or ‘I think it’s great,’”’ or My,
but those choruses will be fine,”’
so it is believed the entire per
formance will be fun; great and
fine. Rehearsals will continue
every afternoon and evening un
til the play is given.
Wasting L.abor and
Nitiogen.
I havehad alot of leaves, straw
and soil raked in piles in the
woods and hauled to the barn,
put under a shed with fertilizer
from both cow and horse lot and
have slaked lime mixed through
and through.”
It may or may not pay to rake
up and haul leaves from the
the woods to the fields, but it
is certain that it will not pay to
haul them to the barn to mix
with lime. No fertilizer mate
rial of this sort, stable manure,
or any form of vegetable matter
shoula be mixed with lime. The
mixing of the iime with the ma
nure causes a loss of nitrogen,
which is the most valuable part
of the nitrogen
This man is preparing the ma
nure for land to be sowed in al
falfa this fall after a crop of peas
is grown during the summer. Ii
the manure had been applied,
without the I'me, before the peas
were sown and when the peas
are off. the land broken, harrow
ed, limed and again disked or
harrowed thoroughly, at least
two weeks before sowing the
alfalfa, more benefit would have
been received from both the lime
and manure.
Lime should never be made a
part of the compost heap or mix
ed with stable manure. It is best
applied broadcast on plowed land
and thoroughly disked or harrow
into the soil a week or two before
the crop is planted. —The Pro
gressive Farmer.

Taft Wants Badley -
As a Runnggg Mate
New York, Nov, 3’§;}§fter a
conference between President
Taft and several members of his
cabinet and Republican senators
and representatives it was offi
cially announced here tonight
that no successor to Vice-Presi
dent Sherman on the Republican
ticket would be selected until af
ter election. Governor Hadley, of
ed by Missouri, is known to be
favor President Taft and many
of the leaders.
Conferences today un the spec
ial train which brought the pres
ident and several party leaders
back to New York from the Sher
man funeral in Utica, developed
onposition to the gelection at this
time of a man for second place
on the ticket.
Some of the leaders believed it
would be poor politics to name ? |
man who might not carry hisown |
state and who would therefore
go before the electoral college
without any vote to start with.
Althrough President Taft was
understood to have approved
early announcement of a vice
\presidential choice he was wor
over to the other view and it was
said tonight that the national
committee at its meeting Novem
her 12th will make the selection.
The president reached New
York tonight shortly after 10
o’clock. Attorney-General Wick
ersham, Secretary of Commerce
ard Labor Nagel and Postmastar
General Hitcheock of his Cabinet;
Chairman Hilles of the Republi
c¢:n National Co.nmittee, and
Senators Root, Crane and Pen-]
rose, were visitors on his private
car on the way down from Utica.
The president remained in New
York tonight and will leave to
morrow night for Cincinnati. He
‘will go by way of Cleveland, Col
umbus, Dayton and other big
Olio towns. Although he has
no speeches scheduled for the
trip it is probable that he will
appear on the rear platform of
his private car at many places
and say a last word to his fellow
Ohioans before election.
