NUT BEARING TREES
IN THE SOUTH,
For the past few years in some sec
tlsns of the South, considerable atten
tiou Las been given to planting pecan
tress and the results have been so sat
isfaetorv and the profits realized so
large that prominent persons that are
thoroughly postet, claim lhat an acre
s et, to pecans is worth S2OO. aud the
cost of setting the trees out wilt not
be $3, an acre. A few years ago, pe
can trees sold at from fifty cents to
one dollar apiece, but now the Pine
bluff Grape & Pecan Cos., of Pineeluff
N O, a reliable concern, is selling
the trees at SB. a hundred, and twenty
five trees will set nn acre, as the trees
soon grow very large, t will not do to
plant them nearer than 40 feet. The
trees should really be set about fitly
teet apart We advise our farmers to
write to this company and buy a hun
dred or less- It they are ordered in
smaller lots, then prices are higher,
one tree 15 cents, six trees 85 cents,
one doz'-n $1.25. fifty $6. They are
sent express prepaid at this price
The trees can be p'anted in cotton
and corn fields and the laud can be
cultivated, until the trees grow' large
enough to shade the ground, then the
trees will be bearing sufficiently to
pay more than any ciop that can be
planted on the land.

THE BANKRUPTCY LAW
Several parties who have been in
jured financially by persons taking
advantage of the new bankruptcy law
have asserted that they would ask
the legislature to icpeal the law.
Their appeal will be in vain, how
ever, as the law is a national on. It
was passed by congress, and is in op
eration in every state of the union,
and Georgia state law makers have no
power on .earth to repeal the law. Ihe j
only source to which appeal can be
made is congress, and we do not know
whether that will do any good, as it
may be a difficult matter to get con
gress to wipe the law from the statute
books.
Congress has been endeavoring to
pass some kind of a bankruptcy law
for a number of years. Several meas
ares at different times have been in
troduced iu congress, but it was not
until last fall that a measure satisfac -
tory to a majority ot fhe'naernbers in
both branches ot congress was finally
presented, which was passed, and is
now the present law-
Speaking in very general terms, the
bankruptcy law is just this. If a man
owes more than he thinks he can ever
pay, provid. and the debt is more than
one thousand dollars, he may give up
all of Irs property to his creditors, bu t
there can be no preferred creditors, a*
every creditor receives exactly the
same on a dollar. A man may volun
tardy go into bankruptcy', or his cred
ito.is may put him into bankruptcy <
after taking advantage of the bank
rupt law, what property he may necu
tnulate afterwards will not be subject
to any debt made before taking ad
vantage of said law.
The passage of this bill was insisted
on by eastern members, especially, as
the great merchandise establishments
east would be benefit iari.es m thi
way. As it was prior to the passage
of the law, when parties failed the)’
could make certain peisons preferred
creditors, and these preferred were
unusually the wife, mother, brother,
sister, or some near relative, or good
friend, who would be apt to render th 1 '
che party whs, faded future tinancia’
aid.' The large creditors were left
out in the cold. But under dii law*
ail creditors are put on the same loot
ing. No preferred creditors, and the
eastern creditors receive as much on
the dollar as the relative or good
friend.
Whether this law will prove sue
cess'lul and satisfactory in its ope.a*
lions is hard to tell. Certain it is
that everybody in Georgia is not satis
tied with it now but the legislature of
the state cannit come to their relief,
—Jackson Herald.

Flourin Atlanta
The opening of the gieat mill of
the Atlanta Milling company teday at
noon was an event in the history of
Atlanta
It is the largest flour mill ever built
in this state, having a capacity of 1,200
barrels a day. It will be valuable to
Atlan'a as an institution and as an il
lustration of a tendency it has even
greater worth. The siuth is on the
road to self support in food crops and
food products. Georgia will raise
more wheat this year than ever before
and at the end of the year Georgia
wdl be richer and happier an that ac.
count.
Many flour mills have been built in
this state recently, affording a ready
and profitable market for all the wheat
that our ueople can raise, and giving
us assurance of a larger supply of
fresh and pure flour. The company
which nas erected the great mill which
was opened here today has invested a
large amount of money in its enter
prise, hut we are confident that it has
done a good thing for itself as well as
for Atlanta and Georgia.—Atlanta

She she ild n fuse iiim (writes a!

r fu-e him when there is any heredi-i

intini'e misery 'in after years. She
should refuse when she sets he is in
the habit of associating with bad
companions, who may lead him into a

life. She should refuse him when she
knows him to be that despicable thing
—a male flirt; she should reflect thaj
as he has treated other girls so he may
t reat herself, and no woman cares to
ay herself open to such treatmen ‘
She should’refuse him when she feols
she has no love to give him, and not
marry, as many girls do, for a home;
no marriage can be truly happy with
out love to sweeten the bonds. She
should refuse him when he is propos.
,ng to her fer her money or from
pique. A gill can generally distiu
guish real love from feigned, and even
it she cares for him, should not accept
him until convinced his motives are
disinterested. She should not refuse
him when she really cares for him and
knows nim to be a steady, faithful
man, who will make her happy, ana
not cause her , heartbreaks, wh ch
perhaps, one of her more brilliant
lovers might have done.—New York

Sow Oats.
We would urge our planter friends
to sow large y in small grain, espec
ialiyoats. This is a crop easily made
made, and always sure. Besides being
sure, our soil is well adapted to the
production of this grain. It is the
most valuable crop that can be raised
for stock.
There has never been a time either
when this crop did not have a good
market value. Unlike nearly alloiher
products, it never finds its way iDto
market at any time when there is not a
demand for it. Another item de
cidedly in its tavor is, it can be sown
either in fall or spring—the spring
sowing not infrequently giving best
results: There is still another fact
which commends it to the farmer—it
can be grown on lands not the richest
in the world. We do not mean to be
understood that it will do as well on
poor land, but we mean that it will
pan out on such land as well as any
otter crop. We are anxious to see
of it throughout our section the pres
ent season.—Ex.
