There's nothin’ to do.” Then after a long pause, ‘Do you know of anything we can do?” There wasn’t anything, that I could see, and said so. The dusty street stretched away to right and left, a broad, red band that narrowed almost to a ribbon’s width in the distance, the heat waves dancing over it producing a moire ef fect. Fringing the edges were houses set among the trees. The red band itself was relieved at irregular inter vals \ylth wagons loaded with baled cotton. “How long is he going to stay here?” was the next question, dressed tlAi time to a would-be cus- MORE TAGS SOLD THAN USED. Nearly 200,COO Ton* of Guano Ifagged But Not Sold. j According to the fertilizer jiuiletin just issued by the department*of agri culture, under direction of Commis sioner T. G. Hudson, there were sold during the fertilizer year, which closed October 1, 7,135,820 fertilizer tags, representing 713,520 tons o| fer tilizer. According to the report of the fer tilizer manufacturers In Georgia as are on file in that office, only 5,188,- 611 tags, representing only 518,801 tons of fertilizer, have been sold for use by them. This leaves a discrepancy of 2,000,- ooo tags, or 200,000 tons of fertilizer, which have not been sold after being tagged. Somebody has paid $20,000 for tags never used. This statement is interesting by reason of the fact that President Har vie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, made the charge in the spring that certain manufacturers were buying up tags and wasting them to give the impresssion that great quantities of fertilizer were be ing used by the planters. This dls crepancy is no fault of the state agri cultural department ,as that office has only to do with the sale of these tags and not with what becomes of them after they are sold. The depart ment sees that every bag of fertilizer sold is tagged, but that is all. Just what has become of the miss ing $20,000 worth of tags Is a mys tery. j “KITE” Sweet and Juicy” “Bloodhound” and u waited patiently on the wooden sill for the storekeeper to set the stranger right. “Just an hour or two,” she answer ed. “Airs.

That’s about tlie programme. The mayor? Mr. Sherman? No, he hasn’t said anything about, doin’ any thing.

Several Acres of 8eedless Cotton in a Newton County Farm. Covington, Ga., Oct. 3.—W. B. Liv ingston, son of Congressman L. F Livingston and one of the prosperous planters of West Newton, tells a re markable story of a peculiar kind of cotton grown on bis farm this season. In a large field of cotton, every spot of which was well fertilized and cul tivated alike, he has several acres which will produce a bale of seedless cotton. The peculiarity, Mr. Living ston says, can be in no way accounted for, With the exception of the total absence of seed, the appearance of the patch of cotton Is not unlike the rest of his crop. The yield is about the same as his other cotton and there Is apparently no difference In the staple. Via the Atlantic Coast LlntyAffcoi American Banker*’ Association.
