Burney was Felled by L. Rhod en In West Broad Street Today. There was a little excitement today at ■noon growing out of a short scrap on West Broad street near the Farm ers Warehouse. The participants In the encounter were C. H. Burney, one of the oldest citizens of the count/ and L. Rhoden, an aged citizen of Robinson district. Tn the encounter Burney was struck by Rhoden and knocked down. He arose with a board In his hand and attempted to return the fire but frineds stepped In and prevented a continuation of the fight. A case was made against Rhoden In police court and he was tried two o’clock. The evidence was given by a man named Croft and another named Eure. Both of them testified that the two met near the Farmers’ Warehouse and Rhoden addressed Burney and told him he wanted hi: money. Burney replied “I want mine.” Then followed the lick by Rhoden which struck Burney In the face and felled him. The two men seemed to have had j previous trouble. Rhoden has been ! a tenant on Burney's place In ! Robinson district. He was moving j off of the place some weeks ago with- 1 out having made a settlement and ; Burney took an officer down and I levied on some of his household j goods. Today was the first time the j two men had met since that time, j After the case was disposed of In the Mayor’s court Burney took out a warrant for Rhoden for assault and battery.—Moultrie Observer.

Since you publish my side of it, I can have no quarrel with you for not agreeing with me. I think, however, your comment con veys the impression that I am an ap* pointee of Governor Smith, which Is eroueous. I have never asked the Governor for an’ office, and it is not likely I ever will. I served two years as Judge of the City Court of Moul trie, receiving my appointment from Governor Candler. The salary was $750:00 per year. It was not a fat Job much.

McKey J. L. Staten GENERAL GORDON. HI* Erratic Nature and a Tributa t# Hi* Heroism. In liis book, “Modern Egypt,” Lord Cromer, for twenty years the representative of British authority in the land of the khedive, gives the other side of the heroic story of General Gordon’s rule in Khar tum, where he was slain by the fanatical natives. Lord Cromer twice rejected the proposal to send Gordon to the Sudan. “Would,” he says, “that I had done so a third time.” lie soon woke to Gordon’s variability. He says: “Impulsive flightiness was in fact the main defect of General Gordon’s charac ter, and it was one which, in my opinion, rendered him unfit to carry out a work which pre-eminently re quired a cool and steady head. I used to receive twenty to thirty telegrams from General Gordon in the course of the day when he was in Khartum, those in the evening often giving opinions which it was impossible to reconcile with others dispatched the same morning.” This stream of telegrams from Khartum was so continuous that Lord Cromer had to adopt a special method of dealing with them. “I generally found a hatch of them waiting for me when I began my work in the morning,” he says. “My practice was to put them on one side and wait till the afternoon, by which time more had generally ar rived. I used them to compare the diirerent telegrams, to try to ex tract from them what it was that General Gordon really wanted and then to decide what could bo done toward carrying out his wishes.” Lord Cromer says also: “One of the leading features of General Gordon’s strange character was his total absence of self control. He was liable to fits of ungovernable and often of the most unreasonable passion. He formed rapid opinions without deliberation and rarely held to one opinion for long. His jour nal, in which his thoughts from day to day are recorded, is, even in the expurgated form in which it was published, a mass of inconsist encies.” General Gordon’s courage warmly praised by Lord Cromer, who says further: “Many a man be fore General Gordon has laid down his life at the call of duty. Many a man, too, has striven to regard death as a glad relief from pain, sorrow and sulTering. But no sol dier about to .lead a forlorn hope, no Christian martyr tied to the stake or thrown to the wild beasts of ancient Rome, ever faced death with more unconcern than General Gordon.” THE SPRING IS ON The spring is on and the the flowers are blooming in the wood- Q land.

Don’t Mistake the Cauee of Your Troubles—A Valdosta Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that Is only a muscular weakness: when urinary trouble sets In they think It will soon correct Itself. And so It Is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That Is Just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright’s disease. The best remedy to use Is Doan’s Kidney Pills. It cures all Ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Valdosta people testify to permanent cures. M. A. Tolar, 311 N. Ashley (jit., Valdosta, Ga., says: “My back was so lame and sore that I could hardly get around. There were also pains across my loins and at night I found It almost Impossible to turn In bed. I knew that this trouble came from my kidneys for the secretions from these organs were unnatural in ap pearance, contained a sediment and did not act regular. I used every thing that I thought would help this trouble but to no avail. A short time ago I heard about Doan’s Kid ney Pills and led to give them trial, procuring a box at Dlmmock’s Pharmacy. Two boxes entirely cur ed me and I am now in much better health. You are at liberty to use my name as a reference, for I can recom mend Doan's Kidney Pills highly.” For sale by all dealers.

By J. H. GltlSDALE. The calf should be removed from the cow the second or third day. It should then be taught to drink. This may be done about as follows: Take a quart of warm new milk in a ten quart pall. Give the calf two lingers to suck air between.’ Gradually lower its nose In to the pall. When It finds milk instead of air entering between the lingers It i> likely to relax the neck and start ti take milk. Do not sink the nose s» far into the milk as to cover the nos trlls. If it will not drink at first, leavt it for a few hours to work up an appe tite. After a few days It may gradual ly be weaned from the fingers. Whole milk should he fed for at least one week. During the next week the change from whole milk to skim- mllk should gradually be brought about. Substitute eaeli day a regular ly increasing pro|>ortion of skimmllk for the same amount of whole milk withdrawn. Feeding Point*. The skhmnilk should be fed wuhn. from 00 to 100 degrees F.. no more, no less. To replace the fat removed from the skimmllk as well as to furnish nd dltional protein it is well to add some flaxseed Jelly to the ration. This Jelly should be added in small quantities at first and slowly Increased. Begin with a dessertspoonful In each portion and gradually increase until about a cup ful Is being fed night and morning to the three-uionths-old calf. In addition to the flux Jelly a little dry bran and whole oats should be fed. Start w’ltli very small quantities. Some clean sweet clover hay will be a valua ble addition to the ration at a very early age. Whey may be used where skimmllk Is not to be had. Change from inllk to whey ns from whole milk to skimmllk (see method outlined above). The flax seed meal Jelly, etc., should bo used Just as with sjtimmllk. Where sklnjmilk or whey Is used available calves may be raised on hoy tea. Boll cut clover or even timothy In water until a strong decoction of tea is obtained. Wean the calf from milk to this tea precisely as described from whole milk to skimmllk above. The same supplementary feeds mny be used in flQtiewhftt larger quantities. The aklmnPk should be fed sweet for some tlojgt least If it is likely, however ttuflrU will sometimes be sour it 1*> adffikble to gradually change to sour milkMnnd feed sour milk in variably. (VS same counsel applies to whey. Calves should be kept In scrupulously clean pens. These should be dry and warm in winter and cool and dry In summer. Conductiva to Bono Diseases. In a discussion of horse and mule feeding under local conditions in South Africa and of the importance of min eral matter In the ration H. Ingle con cludes that oat hay or oat hay and mealies (Indian corn) ”are not suitable as the exclusive diet of working horses and mules for two reasons—first, such a diet Is not rich enough in nitroge nous matter in proportion to carbohy drates and fats to properly supply the requirements of the animals: second, the diet is defective In its capability of supplying materials for proper nourish ment of the bones of the animals and thus Is favorable to the production of bone diseases.” THRILLING SPORT. Rafting Down the Canyons of mapped Glacial Rivsr. With provisions for only ten days n party of explorers in Alaska found one September that they must build rafts and take their chauces of letting the swift river carry them to settlements where food could be obtained: other wise Ice ami snow would shut them lu from all hope of rescue. In “The Shameless Diary of an Explorer” Rob ert Dunn tells of the Journey on the roughly made rafts. “At 11 o’clock today began the most thrilling sport I kuow, rafting dowu the snaky canyons of nu unmapped glacial river. “Fred and I captained the Mary Ann II.. the other three the Ethel Mr rasped and hauled them over the gravel shadows of our tributary, sho/out between the main walls of the strwml and seized upon that boiling current. “We reached silently from eUCf to cliff, jammed pike poles iuto the slate shelf overhead, twirled out of eddies We bumped and grounded.

Vote for “Little Joe” and Prosperity. Messrs. Alwny and Peters of the Nebraska station studied the “corn stalk disease” of cattle during the sea son of 1000-7 In Custer county. They have recently reported that during that period eighty-one out of every thousand cattle turned into the stnlk fields were lost through this disease when no feed was provided in addition to that to be found In the stnlk fields. When other feed was given the loss decreased to slxty-otie head In a thousand. Great Cattle 8how. A splendid new fireproof coliseum at Fort Worth. Tex., is now the perma nent location of the great cattle show of the southwest. This strictly modern cattle pavilion was lately inaugurated with an excellent show. Of Short horns of the breeding class there were 145 entries, and Here fords numbered 143. Angus and Red Poll* were well represented. There were twenty-flve carloads of fat cattle. Leedals’s Lad. champion steer of the show, is u Here ford, two years old. Outstanding merit marked the hog exhibit, which comprised thirty-nine carloads. Poland-Chlnas, Doroc-Jcr soys and a few Berks hi res made the main feature. . Five Chickens For $7,500. A Missouri breeder recently told to a famous pianist's wife a pen of five White Orpington chickens for the tidy sum of $7.50t>—$1,500 per chicken, far as we know, that Is the record for a pen of fowls. We observe that the breeder who sold these chickens marks the picture of them “Tains $7,500.” Perhaps It would be more nearly cor rect to say “Price $7,500.” It Is very doubtful whether any five chickens on earth are actually worth $7X00 from s business standpoint. Bat from the standpoint of a seeker after pleasure recreation a chicken ought to be worth as much as a bulldog, and s dog •ells for thousands of dollars some times.—National Stockman. Mora Promising Markets. A Chicago exchange notes that sup plies of fat cattle are generally re ported to be light in all sections of the country, and there Is confident expecta tion of good markets until grass cattle come forward. Substantial Improve ment has been shown recently in prices of cattle, sheep and hogs.
