SOIL TESTS FOR GEORGIA FARMERS The need of a more complete and thor ough understanding of the soil is patent to all whom are familiar with the history of crop production in the United States. It is manifestly impossible to use soil , amendments with intelligence and the highest degree of efficiency until the far mer understands the primary defects in his soli, and how these may be overcome with a minimum expenditure of effort t ■_ on his part- Realising the constructive ** i character of work of this nature, the 1 State College of Agriculture has under taken to institute a soil survey in Geur- . gia. The funds asked for this work : were scaled considerably by the last leg- I lalatune, and hence the money avialable at the present time is quite insufficient to make much impression on a task of such a stupendous character as that of surveying, mapping, analysing, testing and defining the soil needs of a state in which there are so many series of soils types represented, and which has an .area of approximately 60.0 W) square miles. Not discouraged, however, by the mea gerness of the appropriation, work has 1 been instituted in a vigorous fashion and a soil chemistry laboratory establish ed at the college, and some 20 series of test plats laid down on 12 distinct soil typea The test plats cover three acres, each acre being divided into 20 smaller plats. By this means the work is car ried on in duplicate on each acre, and some ® questions are being asked of the three acras. A different crop is grown on each acre of land so that a rotation of .crops may he instituted and its effect on the soil determined. The present year the first acre is devoted to cotton, the second acre to corn, and the third acre to cowpeas. The first and the eleventh plats are check plats; the second and twelfth plats received potash alone; the third and thirteenth plats received phos phoric acid; the fourth and fourteenth plats, nitrogen; the fifth and fifteenth pUgs, phosphoric acid and potash; the sixth and sixteenth plats, potash and nitrogen; the seventh and seventeenth plats, phosphoric acid and nitrogen; the eighth and eighteenth plats, phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen; the ninth and nineteenth plats, ground phosphate rock; the tenth and ewentieth plats, ground phosphate rock and potash, and on half of the plats in each test the leguminous crops are to be cut oft. and turned un der on the other. Before these series of plats were laid down, the soils were crefully analysed so that the marked deficiencies in plant food might be ascertained and the fer- | tHiser applied proportioned somewhat to the apparent needs of the soil. It . will be seen that a series of plats of this character instituted on some SO . acres of land in Georgia will presently , furnish data of the greatest possible practical importance to farmers, and i will set at rest many vexing problems. Os course, work of this character must be continued for several years to be of any value. The present season, how- i ever, is clearly abnormal, and the re turns may be small, but the average of a five-year period may be depended on with some degree of accuracy. It is contemplated that this work will be continued on the same area of ground, however, for a period of not less than ten years. It is certainly desirable that < one of these series of test plats be laid . down on every type soil in Georgia Just bow many of these there are no one knows, for enough work has hardly 'been done to make even an approxi mate estimate. It is believed, however, i that there will be well on to 300 type soils found in the state. It is mani festly absurd and wanton folly to at tempt to operate and fertilise all of these soil types in exactly the same manner. This, as we all know, has been the custom in the past, and if the state Is to make permanent progress and develop a type of agriculture which will not only sustain the population, but result in the conservation of the soils, a new system of management must be instituted, and to make this at all prac ticable, it will be necessary to have an i accurate knowledge of the type soils which can alone be secured through the inauguration of some system such as that now being established. c The tests in progress now are located on Conseuga silt loam, cecil sandy loam, Norfolk sand, cecil clay loam. Durham sandy loam. Greenville sandy loam, Norfolk sandy loam. Norfolk fine sands loam. Norfolk fine sand. Plummer fine sand. Tifton randy loam, and Orange- I burg sandy loam. Tests are at present in progress in Walker, Troup. Brooks. Dougherty. Sumter. Dooly. Dodge. Ware, j Bulloch. Washington Hancock. Colum bia. Oconee, Walton. Clarke and Frank- • lin counties. • The physical examination | of the type soils on a number of other i counties has been completed by the bureau of soila. of the United States department of agriculture, but test plats could not be established on these areas the present year owing to the limited nature of the appropriation made for this particular work. The de mand made upon the college for work in this direction is very great, and the farmers who an seeking for the estab lishment of test plats in their counties , ; are wise in their day and generation, but it is manifestly impossible for the work to be extended without increased support from the state. * This article has been prepared so that those chiefly Interested in this matter might be fully Informed as to what is being done and the reason why the work cannot be expanded further at the present time. It will be interesting to many to know something about the variation in the composition of the soil types on which tests are being conducted at the present time. In Walker county an acre of soil to the depth of a foot, contains 1.3® pounds of nitrogen. S» pounds of phos pchnc acid, and 2.640 pounds of potash. This soil is not a rich soil in any re spect. but it is markedly deficient in phosphoric acid and nitrogen In 'Franklin county the area on which the test plats are located contains per acre foot 2.*» pounds of nitrogen. 3.3® pounds of phosphoric acid and ".120 pounds of potash. Notice how much richer this eoil area is in all the essential elements of plant food, yet the lands in Frank lin county respond well to certain kinds of fertiliser. These figures make it clear that the same systems of management should not be followed on these two •oil areas. Passing to a consideration of one or two other counties for the purpose of il lustrating the point under discussion. It la Interesting to note that the test plats m Bulloch county contain per acre foot 1 84® pounds of nitrogen. 1.040 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 1.5® pounds of pot aFh In Sumter county the plant food ( per acre foot on the test plats consists , of 2.4® pounds of nitrogen. 1.2® pounds at potash. There is thus a distinct dis- , Terence shown in the natural fertility of these two soil t . pee which lie very much in the same latitude. While many more illustrations quite as striking as these could be presented, it is not intended to tire the reader, but simply to point out the necessity of hav ing a correct basis on which to judge ot the deficiencies of our soils, and how to supply them with the greatest econ omy. To do this no system has yet been devised superior to that which has been instituted in Georgia. It is simply a question of time until the data needed by the farmer can be secured. Os course, the work can be continued on its present basis and the results acquired in the course of 50 or 100 years, but if the far mer desires to have the information which is to give him the largest meas ure of control over his soil, it will be necessary for much larger sums of money to be appropriated for thia im portant line of work by the state. • • • USING NITRATE OF SODA ON CORN. C. T. 8. writes; I have a field of corn that I am using SOO pounds of fer tiliser per acre on and I want to use nitrate of soda later on. Will you please tell me how to use it to get the best results? Nitrate of soda should be applied to corn about two weeks before it begins to silk and tassel. If put on later than this the chances are that it will in crease the growth of stalk and leaf at the expense of grain. Nitrate may be broadcast between the drill row. It should be put near the surface of the ground and not cov ered by the soil. Put it on after, rath er than before the rain. It would ap pear as a white crystal or powder on the surface of the ground after it has been sown but.you will be surprised to see how quickly the moisture will arise to the surface and cause It to dissolve. Passing into the ground as it does in a form immediately available to plants it is very quickly assimilated and its ef fect on the growth becomes apparent a few days after it has been applied. One hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds should constitute a satisfactory application to corn on most soil. On extremely thin land or where the corn has made a rigorous growth, 200 pounds can sometimes be used to advantage. It is better ordinarily to not use more than 100 pounds at a single applica tion. • • • CULTIVATION OF RED CLOVER. J. M. P., Valdosta, Ga., writes: I send a clover bloom and want to know what kind it is. It seems to do well. I would like to know when to sow it and how much to use to the acre. Where could I get good first-class seed? The specimen sent appears to be a head of red clover, but it was so badly faded and crusned that it is difficult to tell what the original color was. This clover grows in various parts of the United States, but it is not exten sively cultivated in Georgia, It will possibly grow very well in many sec tions where the land is deep, moist and porous and well supplied with lime. It does not do well cn acid soils. In many sections of the south clover experiences sickness which proves destructive to it. They have developed a strain of resist ant seed at the Tennessee station which has not been widely distributed as yet, but It promises to make possible the growing of this clover more ex tensively in the future than has been possible in the past. Red clover may be sown either in the fall or spring. It should be put on moist, rich land well supplied with vegetable matter and free from acid. Fertilise the soil welt, especially if it is acid, with a mixture of 500 pounds of fertiliser containing 8 to 10 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 5 to 7 per cent of potash. Sow’ the seed at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds per acre. Scatter it on the surface of the ground and woik in w-»ll with a weeder. It may be sown from the 15th of Sep tember to the 15th of October. It is important to sow it rather early so as .to enable it to develop a good root sys tem before cold weather sets in. This crop sometime:) produces crops for two years it* succession. It makes a hay of superior quality, rich in protein and finely adapted for feeding all classes of live stock properly cured. You can secure seed of red, clover from any re liable seedsman. The price varies so materially that a suggestion along this line would not be of much service at this time. We do not think you would find it practicable to grow red plover extensively in your section as you can raise many other legumes which are more certain to give a uniform yield tn an average season than this crop. Crim son clover is certainly well adapted for growth in your section of the state, and we are disposed to think you will find alsike clover hardier than red clover for use in south Georgia. • • • MANAGEMENT OF AN ALFALFA PATCH. M. H. M., Milledgeville, Ga., writes: I have two rows of alfalfa in my gar den for my chickens. One row was planted a year ago and inoculated; the other row was planted this spring a foot from the first row, but not inocu lated. Both rows have done finely until now the leaves look shriveled and dead. Does it need a stimulant of some kind? The ground is comparatively rich. I used chicken manure and leaves with the alfalfa. What should be added to chicken manure to make a good vege table fertilizer? What will keep worms out of squash, cucumbers and toma toes? Tour alfalfa may be suffering from one of several troubles. The alfalfa rust often proves destructive In this section. It is thought by some to be due to the tenacious character of much of our clay lands and heavy rainfalls which do not permit as much aeration of the deep feeding roots as seems necessary to the well-being of this plant. No doubt the second row referred to was not inoculated sufficiently to en able it to gather the amount of nitro gen needed from the air. You might scrape the earth from alongside the row that has done well and take some of it and mix it thoroughly around the row which is not thriving well. You will probably find a good dusting of the soil with unslaked lime beneficial. After the lime has been on the ground for a couple of weeks, suppose you try an application of nitrate of soda and see if it does not benefit the alfalfa. It may also be benefited by phosphorus and potash. If you have used only the chicken manure, you have not supplied enough of these elements. We would suggest that you use a complete fer tiliser in association with the chicken THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GA.. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1912. LAWN OF WOODROW WILSON HOME LOOKS LIKE AN ARMED CAMP; PENCIL SQUAD PITCH TENTS TO STAY Motion Picture Men Are on the Job, • and Delegates Are Swarming to Seagirt to Con gratulate Leader (By Associated Tress.) SEAGIRT. N. J., July 3.—"1 haven’t had time to think ot all these things." Gov. Woodrow Wilson came out of the "little white house," sat in an easy chair on his porch, crossed his legs, took off his glasses and thus replied today to a bombardment of questions hurled at him by a group of reporters. He was looking rather care-worn and tired. “I don’t know yet whether I shall ap point Mr. McCombs my campaign man ager or suggest him for the chairman ship of the national committee,” said he. **l haven’t decided w’hether I shall re sign as governor of New Jersey. I haven’t had time to read the platform; 1 have made no campaign plans—in fact I have devoted all my time to mbrning callers and to my correspond ence. ’These and other details I shall take up in due time with my friends. Poor fellows, they will have to get some rest. THANKS HIS FRIENDS To all the thoughtful and generous friends who * have sent me messages cf congratulations I want to express my hearty thanks. I shall not be able to answer them individually, I am afraid, they are so very numerous. I hope this inadequate acknowh dgment will fall un der their eyes. These messages of per sonal confidence hel.i immeasurably to make public service seem worth while.’ manure for garden purposes, contain ing about 2 to 3 per cent of organic nitrogen. 9 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 5 to 7 per cent of potash. This should be used at the rate of not less than 500 pounds per acre. Then you may use some nitrate in small quanti ties for top dressings on the vegetables you mention. The vegetable matter and chicken manure you are using on your garden are good materials for pro viding humus and nitrogen, but the manure must be supplied in larger quantity than you are now using. , Probably the pickle worm and squash borer have attacked your cucumbers and squash. The best way to fight these pests is to mix arsenate of lead with water at the rate of one ounce to about four gallons and spray the plants thoroughly. This metnod will not prove very effective, but it is the best suggestion we can offer under the circumstances. You should gather up all infested vines and burn them. The worms in your tomatoes are no doubt the corn bud worm, and the chances are they will go to the qorn in a few days. Spray your tomatoefe with arsenate of lead in the proportion men tioned above. Be sure to wash any to matoes and cucumbers which have been sprayed before using. Follow a rota tion of crops in your gardet., and keep trash off the ground, and burn or bury all infested tomatoes. • • • FIGHTING THE COTTON CATERPIL PILLAR. W. H. M., Cuthbert, .Ga., writes:" I have learned that the cotton caterpillars are on their way down here. They ate up kbout three bales of cotton for me last year. I have such a nice crop of cotton that I would hate to lose it by the worms, so I have come to you for help. Can you tell me what to do to keep them away, or to destroy them after they have appeared ? Your fear in regard to the cotton cat erpillar is well founded as they do an enormous amount of damage. Reports are coming in from many'parts of the state that cotton fields are being visited and preyed upon by this pest. These worms winter in the southern states and are generally in very small numbers the first of the season. They hatch about three broods during the summer, not being in very large numbers until the last hatching when they literally clean up all the cotton leaves that happen to be left green in the late autumn. They pass the winter in the form of moths which be gin to fly about in March in search of some good place to lay their eggs which number between 6® and 800, which hatch Into army worms. These worms develop another set of moths which in turn lay again and give rise to the second gener ation of worms. The question of com batting the worm is a serious one, and no very effective remedies have as yet been discovered, but one which has been fairly successful is to mix an equal quantity of wheat flour and Paris green and dilute with slaked lime in the pro portion of one to five parts. This mixt ure thinly distributed over the cotton plants will in some measure check the movement of the worm, and should be’ applied before they cover a large area. This mixture should be applied not only in the area in which the worms are feed ing, but should circle around this area for a few feet. Another remedy is to make a dust furrow around the area covered by the worms by plowing a deep furrow and raking with a drag in order to pulverize the earth. The caterpillars get in this furrow and can not get out. • • • GOOD VERSUS POOR PREPARATION. C. S. 8., Atlanta, Ga., writes; What have been your observations in regard to crop conditions this year where the lands have previously been broken deep, as compared with fields which have al ways had only shallow breaking. I should think that lands well broken would not have the trouble of draining themselves of the excessive rains this winter and spring as lands not broken deeply. Have you observed the condi tions in fields which have previously been broken with dynamite? In our judgment the fields which have been deeply broken have taken care of the abundance of water which has fall en as rain to better advantage than those not properly prepared. In a sea son such as this there would be less difference between a well prepared and poorly prepared piece of land, for the reason that the superabundance of mois ture finding its way through the soil will tend to dissolve out and liberate a considerable quantity of plant food, and may in fact supply the crop with a larger amount than would be true in a dry season. As a matter of fact, any 'crop will do better in either a wet or dry season on soil which has been thorough ly prepared. Lands which have been well broken will dissolve and hold more moisture than those which have not been deeply stirred. Os course, all soils have a maximum water-holding capaci ty, and when they become surfeited with moisture, there is a tendency for them to wash and erode. It is not likely that the use of dynamite on soils would show as good results In a wet season as in a dry season. We have had no opportun ity to observe any pronounced results as yet from the use of dynamite. It Js, of course, too early in the season to de termine what the effect of dynamite might be on the ultimate yield, of such crops as corn, cotton and cowpeas. •’Do yoq care to comment upon the convention’s work?" he was asked. “I can only say," he replied, “that I am most gratified at its harmonious ending. As to the work of my support ers, I never saw anything like it for absolute devotion. Many of them were my warm personal friends.” WILL REMAIN GOVERNOR Whatevef’clse the governor does, he will continue to visit Trenton every Tuesday, maintaining the custom set when a summer mansion was first built, of keeping ’’governor’s day" at the state capitol. His friends are posi :ive that he will not resign as governor until after the first of next year, as under the New- Jersey law the president of the senate automatically takes the governor’s seat upon the latter’s resignation. John D Prince, the present president of the senate, is a Republican. Governor Woodrow Wilson slept late this morning, after the ar duous days preceding his nomina tion. Visitors began gathering on the lawn in front of the "little white house" before 8 o’clock, however, and nearly a dozen tents, erected for tele phone booths and other accommoda tions. sprang up on the green. Besides the usual run of enthusiasts, many delegates returning from Balti more were expected at the Wilson cot tage today. Texas delegates. 40 strong, notified the governor that they would stop over at Seagirt on their way home. Practically the entire New Jersey dl egation is expected, and many delegates from Pennsylvania a fid Tennessee are coming. The governor retired late last night without knowing officially that Gov ernor Marshall, of Indiana, had been chosen as his running mate. He was told as early as 11 o'clock that Gov ernor Marshall had been nominated, however, and. although this report was premature at the time, it was confirmed by the convention’s subsequent act. 'But when this action was vaken Gov ernor Wilson wns asleep. Photographers , are here by the score, and several moving picture con cerns have men on hand taking every conceivable phase of the activity here about. One set of moving pictures was taken last night while the governor was moving: about the lawn with the newspaper men before he retired. HE WIRES MARSHALL. The governor this morning sent the fol lowing telegram to Governor Marshall at Indianapolis: “Sincere congratitlatldns. I shall look forward with pleasure to my association with you. “WOODROW WILSON.” The governor also gave out the follow ing statement: "Governor Marshall" bears the high est reputation both as an executive and as a Democrat, and I feel honored by having him as a running mate. He is, I am happy to say, , a valued personal friend of mine as well as a fellow-Dem ocrat.” i MANY CONGRATULATIONS. W. J. Conners, of Buffalo, wired Gov ernor Wilson: “A splendid fight won the right way. I congratulate you and the Democratic party upon your nomination.” United States Senator Mark A. Smith, of Arizona: "I was for my school boy friend and college classmate, Champ Clark, until this afternoon. From now on I am,with you with all that is in me. I congratu late you, our party Jind our country on your success.” Percy Belmont: “My sincerest congratulations. Under your leadership a progressive Demo cratic party will triumph over both the president and his predecessor." GETS 1,000 MESSAGES. Nearly 1,000 messages of congratu lation to Governor Wilson were in the hands of his secretary before the gov ernor had arisen from the breakfast table. Among the first received was one from Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall: "Permit nie to extend my hearty congratulations,” it read. "Your nom ination means a great Democratic vic tory.” MORE CONGRATULATIONS. Richard P. Hobson and wife: “We congratulate you, the Democratic party and the country upon your superb vic tory." Governor Hall, of Louisiana: "I ex tend my congratulations." Atlee Pomerene, United States sena tor from Ohio: "Accept my hearty con gratulations. My services are at your command for the campaign." Old classmates and pupils from near and far sent messages of good will. Some weer bubbling with enthusiasm. "Hooray,” wired one enthusiastic fol lower. "School has begun and thus end eth the first lesson.” A message from Mont Clair, N. J., read: "Heartiest congratulations,” from the New Jersey Association for the Blind, affected the governor greatly. He has taken great interest in the work of this organization for many years. FROM NORTH CAROLINA. v "Legitimate business has nothing to fear, Socialism nothing to hope for,” wired a North Carolina, friend. Among the governor’s accomplish ments, he boasts a mastery of short hand. He displayed his knowledge of this today by making notes for dicta tion. As he wrote, leaning his pad up on the arm of his easy chair, the camera squad snapped him again and again and moving picture man recorded his move ments. NEW RAILROADS WILL RUN FROM WAYCROSS WAYCROSS, Ga., July 2.—Railroad construction figures prominently in the industrial activities of this section now and unless plans that have strong sup port fall through some Important points in this section will soon be brought in closer touch. Two roads are building out of Waycross, one towards Milltown and some point on the Georgia South ern and Florida, the other south to some Florida city. These roads are operating over a portion of the completed line and as fast as construction proceeds the service will be extended. The Waycross and Western is a local road, while Penn sylvania capitalists are * behind the Waycross and Southern. Another railroad that is getting into the gossip of the present is one on which much work was done several years ago. a short cut from Waycross, through Baxley to Vidalia. Waycross parties are still Interested in the project and from the new enthusiasm shown along the proposed route little difficulty is expected in getting positive action on this line. The Atlantic, Waycross and Northern, which has a charter cov ering a line from St. Mary’s to Fort Valley, and which now operate from St. Marys to Kingsland, is one of the live propositions that railroad men are in vestigating and it is believed arrange ments will be made within a few months to bring the road as far as Waycioss. With the past jxperience of railroads as developers the activity in railroad construction is considered one of the neat reasons this sectionihas for count-' ing on a remarkable growth during the next few years. KEROSENE OIL SPREADS DEATH TO ARMY WORM Colquitt County Farmer Gives Method for Destruction of Plague (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MOULTRIE, Ga., July 2.-J. A. Smith, a farmer, who lives in Co’quitt county, near Pavo, a short distance from the Thomas county line, has discovered that kerosene oil, sprayed on corn or other plants, is sure death to the army worm, and his experiments in this direction have been very successful. He had 12 acres of corn that the worms had in vaded and destroyed and he applied the Paris green treatment shortly after he discovered the worms but it failed to destroy them until they had literally de stroyed the corn. After the majority of the corn on the 12 acres had been destroyed Mr. Smith says it looked as if the worms would de stroy everything he had planted. He de cided to try kerosene oil and as an ex periment got a bottle and fil ed it with oil. He poured a small quantity of the oil in the bud of the corn and found that wherever it came in contact with the worms it killed them in a few min utes. Mr. Smith says he believes that the moth or fly lays the egg in the bud of the corn and as soon as they are hatch ed they commence eating there and con tinue until they devour the whole plant. He is satisfied with the result of the test from the little oil he sprayed and is sure that when it is put on the bud of the corn it Is the surest and quickest way of killing off the pest. The army worm caused but little dam age so far in the fields of the Colquitt farmers and the majority of them are of the opinion the result will not be very serious. Several other farmers in Mr. Smith's neighborhood tried the kerosene oil treatment after he had experimented and found it worked with good success. WAYCROSS TO CONSIDER COMMISSION SYSTEM (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WAYCROSS. Ga., July 2.—-Although the question has been oversnadowed for several months by various local and state matters, commission government is by far anything but a dead issue in Waycross and before fall will come into considerable prominence. A com mittee. headed by John W. Bennett, has gathered data regarding the new form of government, and while no recommen dations have been made so far, it 'is probable that the change will get strong support from many sources in Waycross. A comparative statement of the cost of conducting the present city govern ment and a commission form shows actual difference favoring the commis sion form of only a few dollars. This, however, could be made greater with the introduction of some radical changes in several departments. Aldermanic jobs are not looked upon with so much favor in the city now because of the heavy work the office requires. In the olden days an aider man's job was no work at all, but so steady has been the growth of Way cross that today to be an aiderman means that much valuable time must b e devoted to the city, with practically no pay. ‘ In the discussions that have taken place it has been argued that a com mission of three men, well selected, could save money for ’ the city and render at the same time service more satisfactory than under the aldermanic form of government. There is opposi tion to the new form of government in the city, but no specific reasons for opposing the change have as yet been advanced. Regardless of who runs for governor or what questions come up locally, the conuaission government one will hold its own this year. S2OO A CAR OFFERED FOR COLQUITT MELONS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MOULTRIE, Ga., July 2.—Two hun dred dollars a car were offered here yesterday for watermelons, the highest price that this part of the country has ever seen, but those who heard the of fer were of the opinion that the fellow who made it only wanted one carload. At least the price was established and will hold the record for a long time to come, in the opinion of the farmers hereabouts. W. G. Smithford, a farmer who lives near here, was loading a car of melons at the A., B. & A. Station, at a contract price of $l5O, when a Baltimore buyers came along and offered him S2OO for the car. Mr. Smithford could not sell, and it just happened he was the only farm er here with melons, and the buyer did not get any. PIGEONS FLY FROM MACON TO HOMES IN BALTIMORE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

Two coops were released Sunday from the top of the Southern Express company’s building. The birds were sent to Macon by pigeon fanciers who desire to time their flight from Macon back home, a dis tance of about 600 miles. Each of the birds left their coop as fast as they were released amid a large crowd that gathered to see their flight. $l.O0 —Four Papers, One Year Each—sl.oo CDCIT Absolutely New ‘ A IXI-.1-.

Ga., July 2.—The police are making a high and low search for Miss Hattie Belle Speer, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles O. Speer, of 2028 Third street, who mys teriously disappeared from home last Saturday. The search was begun Sat urday night, when she failed to return from a trip downtown with several friends, she told her parents she ex pected to accompany. Every place possible has been search ed by the officers, but not the slightert information has been gained of satis faction to the parent* and friends. It is believed that she has left the city, although she cannot be traced to either of the four depots in Macon. Her mother is almost prostrated over ner disappearance, and thinks perhaps that she has been kidnaped. DEBRUHLE WONT GIVE HIS VOTE TO BLEASE (Special Dispatch to The Journal) COLUMBIA. 8. C., July 2.—“1 no ticed in one of th® issues of The Atlan ta Journal that Governor Blease Is quoted as saying that I am his person al, and he believed his political, friend.” said M. P.

"that I entertain no person antagonism to Governor Blease and all communica tions which I have had with him have been personally pleasant and he has al ways been courteous to me as I have been to him.
