The society dances in Boston are said to be worse than those in the dance halls and resorts where none of the best people go. Mayor Fitz gerald says so himself, and he went to see them both. This is a da'- when the man with out a 'phone, whether it be In the city or the country, Is at a decided and distinct disadvantage. The city fellow who haa no ’phone is not so bad oft as the farmer. It is he who benefits most, saves most, is most convenienced by a telephone which connects with some town ami through that town with hundreds of ethers. An accident occurs in a rural community. It is five miles from a Doctsr and tbo only means of traf fic is a horse and buggy. The 'phone Is brought into play and the doctor, with his auto is on the 3cone in thirty minutes. If the ’phone hail not keen there, tho horse would probably have been brought from the field and hitched to tho buggy and ready to start in the same length of time. An hour saved and proba bly a life. A farmer has business in town, it must be attended to today or a loss will be sustained. He lives twelve or thirteen miles away and has no auto. A whole day la con sumed at a time of year when he Is most valuable to his farm. The loss is considerable. Tho business could probably have been transacted lit ten minutes over the telephone. This fellow we are talking about will be converted and when ha does he will, we hope, be the last one In the county to refuse connection with a 'phone whenever one Is possible. Many are unable to build the neces sary lines and make this connec tion. They would, howevor, when ever an opportunity is offered at a very small cost and we hopo to a-s> the time when every farm in Thom as county will be connected by ’phone with the nearest town, with protection and safety of .’he women and children and the convenience and saving of the owners of the farms.

It sounds perhaps a hit wlord In this day and time, but nevertheless it Is true that there is a farmer who would scrap to keep a telephone out of his house; in fact, he doesi't want the thing anywhere near him. We have no quarrel against this g-n- tleman, for her is one of Thomas County's best, but he is certainly wrong about the ’phone. If be had one In his bouse for three months, and was abla to talk to Thomasvllle, Moultrie, and neighboring com munities, as those who are con nected can do, 1*. would take the Su- Court of the Bolted States. Whether or not the Japanese are of the Mongolian, or yellow rr.oc, or whether they are of one of the other four original races, Is a ques tion that soon may be submitted to the Supreme Court of the United States for decision. The Japanese declare they are not Mongolians. The question Is brought up in view of the proposed legislation California, which would prevent Japanese from acquiring citizenship and owning land in that state, the ground that they are Mongo lians, or the same race with the Chi nese. The Japanese claim that they are a mixture of the white and Ma lay races, neither of which are de barred citizenship and the owning of land in this country, as is tho case with the Chinese. The five original races are the Caucasian, or white race, the Afrj- can, or black, the American Indian, or red, and the Malay, or brown. While there bus been much discus- sion in recent years, of the race to which the Jap belongs, there ap pears to have been no "official'' set tlement of the question, but most people, by common consent, look upon them as being of the Chinese race. The Japanese claim that they are a mixture of the white and brown races, but their language, manners and customs appear to more closely identify them with the Chinese. It may be that they are an admixture of the Malay and Mon golian, but It appear! that there is a preponderance of the Chinese blood In their veins. There is no Indication that thej are related to the white race, either In color, langauge or traditions. Their langauge, as well as their physical resemblance Is closer to the Chinese than to any other peo ple. .In every way it appears that they are more nearly identified with the Chinese than jvlth any other Council Want* to Know, on the One llnnil, anil tin* Grand Jury May Take u Shot on the Other. Atlanta. April 22.—.Aldermen J. W. .Maddox, F. J. Spratling unrt t. N. Ragsdale, ac; used by Alderman McClellan f of grafting, find them selves between two fires today. On the one hand they are being inves tigated by a special committee ot city council on the other bund, the grand Jury is considering whether or not to probe the charges and find oat whether they would Justify criminal indictment. It Is a sort of double-barreled probe. Hu*, according to pcovaiiiig opinion, one of the barrels is loaded with lead, and tile other with blank cartridges. If the council commit tee has tho final Bay-Bo, McClel land's friends declare, the whole thing will be nothing but a for mality. If the grand jury takes the lead, however, In the Investigation, there Is no doubt on the part anybody that It will be probed the bottom.

HOKE SMfTH BILL BETTER WHAT IT COSTS TO PRODUCE SUGAR FROM SUGAR DANE. Corn Cliili Members, Attention. My Dear Young Friends; A few weeks ago, I wrote you concerning the making of n good, loose, mellow seed bed before plant ing your acre of corn. We alsp mentioned the importance of hav ing the best seed you could pre- cure. By this time, 1 suspect a good percentage of you nave planted, and we hope yon took pains to get the conditions Just as nearly perfect as to breaking, filling the boII with vegetable matter, pulverizing and making line the soil as you possibly could; also that you have the rows the same distance apart so you will not have to be cultivating lost space, as many do. it is as a good farmer who llvod several years ago, said, “When the soil is properly prepared, the crop half made.” Remember, though he said half-made, the other halt is just as important. This embraces the cultivation and this is *.he sub ject concerning us now. There are several reasons why we should cul tivate besides to keep down grass and weeds. One of the most Im portant of these is to conyerve hold the moisture. The vegetable matter will aid us in this, also thorough pulverization, but it is es sential to keep a dust blanket by stirring the top soil all during ‘he growing period of the crop. If we would keep the moisture possible. The winds and hot sun t pump the moisture out of the soil' unless keep the little wells between the soil particles covered over uy keep ing the crust broken after rains. Fertilizer is Important, manure Is important, nlso good seed, and good preparation, and good cu'tlvatlon but boys, about the most importan' of all in making a good yield of cor^i is the water supply. Would you ire surprised If I were to tell you that to grow one hundred bushels of corn on an arce it requires ns much wa ter as there would be were the water to be sixteen inches all over your acre. Now that is a lot water, and we want a hundred bush els' from that acre this year. We have been getting up to the present a pretty good rainfall. The possi bilities are we will not get so muc.i a little later. Then boys, let’s take care of what we get by keeping the top stirred every seven to ten days and after each rain as soo.i as w can. Remember now. do not use Im plements that will go deep and in jure the roots. If you have a good seed bed, then cultivate lust shallow as you can, not over one and a half to two Inches deep. B< surt to read thoroughly every pam phlet sent you by the College ol Agriculture and the Federal De partment of Agriculture. Let nothing discourage you. Stay through to the finish. That Is the kind of fellow who receives the re ward. Yours for results, J. G. OLIVER. District Agent The question will, if It should he submitted to the supreme court of the United States, be one, the de rision of which will be awaited with the greatest Interest throughout the world. That the court will give the matter such consideration as its Importance demands there is mo question, and the decision will be based upon what that tribunal deema to be the facta. But no mat ter what this decision may be. It will be far-reaching In its effect.— Enquirer-Sun. Coughs and Consumption, Coughs and colds, when neglect ed, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs.

C., April 12.—The results ot the investigation of the agricultural cost ot growing sugar cano on the plantations of Louisiana, and of its manufacture into raw sugar In the factories there, were given out hy the sceretary of com merce today. The investigation was made in 1912, by F. J. Sheridan, commercial, agent of the bureau of foreign and. domestic commerce, under the gen ersl direction of the tariff board, and the compilation completed by him by direction of the secretary of com merce. The agricultural and factory costs are shown' for the three years of 1909, 1910 and 1911. On account of the severe freeze, the sugar costs per pound for 1911 were abnormally high. Three hundred and twenty-nine thousand, six hundred and fotty- eight acres in twenty-three parishes are In sugar cane. In 1911, 5,809,- 541 tons, of cane were raised, and 693,989,633 pounds of sugar pro duced. The average cost of produc ing one ton of cane harvested for the factory was $4.00 In 1911, $5.00 In 1910 and $4.15 In 1909. The high est cost per ton was $17.17 for 1911, $6,273 In 1913 and $6,272 In 1909. The lowest cost was $2.73 In 1911, $3.11 In 1910 and $3.24 In 1909. The number of tons harvested rer acre and the number of pounds of sugar per ton of cane governed the cost of production. In 1911 the average number of tons harvested per acre was 17.47, in 1910 18.98 and in 1909 19.55. The highest number of tons harrested per acre was 22.60 In 1911, 24.01 In 1910 and 23.5 in 1909. The low est number of tons harvested par acre was 10.23 in 1911, 12.04 in 1910 and 16.36 in 1909. In the factories tne average cost of production per ton of cane ground was $5.84 In 1911, $5.49 in 1910, and $5.65 in 1909. The highest cost per ton ground was $6.15 In 1911, $6.06 In 1910 and *6.48 in 1909. The lowest cost per ton of cans ground was $4.92 in 1911, $4.98 in 1910 and $4.93 In 1939. The effect of the freeze on yield and cost may be noted in the yield per ton and cost -per pound. The average yield of sugar per ton of cane ground was 133 pouhds In 1911, 147 pounds In 1910 and 136 pounds In 1909. The highest yield was 171 pounds In 1911, 173 pounds In 1910 and 183 pounds in 1909. The lowest yield was 114 pounds In 1911, 122 pounds In 1910 and 133 pounds In 1909. The average cost of production ier pound of sugar was 4.39 cents in 1911, 3.72 cents in 1910. and 3.62 cents in 1909. The highest cost Per pound of sugar was 4.96 cents n 1911. 4.51 rents in 1910 and 4.96 cents in 1909. The lowest cost per pound of sugar was 3.83 cents l i 1911, 3.13 cents in 1910 and 2.69 cents In 1909. Interest and depreciation are not Included in any of the costs. " Tho factory having the lowest cost in 1909 of 2.69 cents per pound had a yield of 183 pounds of sugar per ton of cane. Its cost of cane at-fac tory was but $3.61, and • its tola’ factory cost was $4.93 per ton of cane. Its cost of re-pairs and maii- tensce was below tho avearge and its general efficiency be'ter. comparison of Cuban and cer tain Louisiana factoBle* for five years shows an average yield in Cuba of 229.3 pounds per ton ot cane, and 161.9 pounds In Imulsiana, a difference In yield of $7.4 pounds of sugar per ton of cano- The sucrose in extraction Juice wub 16.0 per cent In Cuba, and about 11.5 per cent In Louisiana. The plantation labor cost per acre was 50.3 per cent of the total cost, while the factory labor cost was 15.9 per cent, of the total conversion cost per ton, exclusive of cost of cane. This Is owing to the' fact that pro duction on the plantation is carried on by manual and animal labor, while factory production Is the work of machines, chemical processes and white labor—the work In the grind ing season going at top speed. On 159 plantations 142.981 acres were cultivated, 32.7 per cent Of these were In stubble cane in 1911: 30.4 epr cent in plant cane and 37.0 per cent In reetoratlve crops. 16 pw cent of the acreage was occupied with canals, dttches, roads and headllnea. The appraisal value of the equip ment and buildings of a sugar fac tory having 1,003 tons daily grind ing capacity are sbpwn to be $473,- 331.15, and in a 2-300-ton plant the value was appraised at $904,324.54. The cost of transportation of cane purchased to factory ranges from 1 per cent per ton to 02 cents per ton Than at First Proposed in Regula tion or Marketing Agricultural Products. Atlanta, April 22.—Georgia agri culturists are in receipt of Inror-na- Mon from Washington tending to indicate that the Division of Mar kets bill of Senator Hoke Smith's, is being put In a much more com prehensive form than that in which It was originally drawn, and that much more will be accomplished in tho elimination of waste In market ing crops, than was at first hoped for. Senator Smith is responsible for the improvements, as he was for the original bill. -A delegation Is in Washington now, bringing to the attention of Congress, and tho president, the im portnnee of legislation looking tc better methods In marketing the crops, and better provisions for farm credit, along exactly the lines that Senator Smith's bill Is drawn. This delegation is from a conven tion which was called by the asso ciation of farm papers in America. The convention had representatives from 24 states and four foreign countries. :( They discussed for three days the matter of better methods of marketing agricultural products and financing agriculture. The commit- lee held a conference with Senator Smith, at whose instance the last session of Congress included In the agricultural appropriation bill $50,. 000 for preliminary work in es tablishing the Division of Markets In the Department of Agriculture. The secretary of agriculture, It Is reported, is already making elabor ate preparations for tho Installation of this new division. * Drives Sick lleadche Away.

DIG OPERA SEASON OPENED Atlanta, April 22.—Visions ol $90,000 are floating around In the minds of the Atlanta Music Festival directors, and the Metropolitan business managers this morning. These visions, which if they come true, will set a new mark In the history of grand opera, not only in Atlanta but in the world, are min gled with hazy but delightful re collections of a midnight rupper at the Capital City club last nlg'nt where wine flowed like water, where Bori walled and Caruso sang, to the accompaniment not of vlcllns but of popping champagne corks. Or to phrase It less elaborately, last night was some night! Musi cally and socially it was the great est first night opera the South has ever Been. The house, holding 6,000, was practically filled.
