AGRICULTURAL HEAD
CLEAR OF CHARGES
COMMISSIONER BROWN EXON-
ERATED; FRIENDS CON
GRATULATE HIM.
Atlanta, July 22.—Legislators and
prominent citizens from various sec
tions of the state today congratulated
J. J. Brown, commissioner of agricul
ture, on his complete exoneration by
the senate committee on general agri
culture, and many of the callers ex
pressed no surprise at the result.
Well Done.
“In giving you a clean bill, the com
mittee did what it should do,” said
several’ visitors. “The agricultural
department, under your administra
tion, has made wonderful progress
and is doing a great work for the
farmers of Georgia. Charges of one
kind and another that have been made
against the department this year and
at previous sessions of the legislature
have not, to use an agricultural term,
amounted to a “hill of beans.”
Commissioner Brown thanked his
callers for their interest and assur
ances of friendship and said that he
would continue to run the affairs of
his department to the best of his
ability and with an eye single to the
best interests of the farmers of Geor
gia. And, added Mr. Brown, “being
myself a farmer, I think I know some
thing of the needs of my fellow farm
ers. I cannot help but see things as
a farmer sees them, and it is my con
stant aim to make the department
bigger and better.”
Family Affair.
Senator L. C. Brown, (who, by the
way, is a cousin of J. J. Brown) in
troduced a resolution reciting charges
referred to the senate committee for
investigation. The committee served
notice, in a formal way, upon Senator
Brown to appear before it and pre
sent the evidence in support of his
charges, and Upon Commissioner
Brown to appear in answer to the
charges.
When the committee met, accord
ing to schedule, Senator Brown was
not present and had no spokesman
there to represent him. Commission
er Brown was present and announced
himself ready to deny, disprove and
denounce the charges made against
him in the resolution.
Thereupon the committee adopted
a resolution declaring the charges a
dead letter and recommending that
the senate take no further notice of
them, in view of Senator Brown’s fail
ure to appear and give evidence to
support them.
Commissioner Brown thanked the
committee. As to the charge that he
had purchased in Athens an automo
bile with funds of the state and ap
propriated the same to his own per
sonal use, Commissioner Brown in
formed the committee that the charg
es were false, a fabrication out of the
whole cloth. The only automobile he
could imagine which might have fur
nished the basis for this charge, he
said, was one bought by the wife of
his son with her own personal funds
and used by her personally.
Clean Bill.
As to the charge that, he, through
an inspector of his department, had
condemned a barload of com and
subsequently bought the same at a
very much reduced price, and had it
shipped to his farm in Appling coun
ty for his personal use, Commission
er Brown submitted to the committee
an affidavit by the railroad station
agent at Baxley, the point where such
a shipment would have 'gone, declar
ing that no shipment of corn had ever
been consigned to J. J. Brown at that
point, or to anyone connected with
J. J. Brown.
So it turns out that Commissioner
Brown has been given a clean bill,
just as he has on similar charges at
previous sessions.
MEMORIAL
The county was shocked to hear
of the sad death of Vendry Musgrove.
He joined the navy Nov. 8, 1920,
and later went to France; there he
was taken ill with influenza May 25,
and on June 1, he developed pneu
monia and died June 12.
His officers stated that everything
was done for him by his shipmates
and physicians that could be done for
him.
But God claimed him.
I knew Vendry all his life, and al
ways found him pleasant and had a
smile for every one he met.
He gladly took part in anything he
was asked to do, which pertained to
good.
He was a member of the Metho
dist church at Mt. Pleasant and was
laid to rest in Mt. Pleasant cemetery
on July 15, 1921, in the presence of
a large and sorrowing crowd.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. H.
A. Musgrove, of near Chattahoochee.
He was 16 years old. He leaves
father .mother, five sisters and one
brother to mourn his death.
But we can console their broken
hearts by saying, “weep not but
strive to meet him in a brighter land."
It was sad to give up one so young
and useful, but it made me rejoice to
see he had so many friends.
TORE OFF WIFE’S
EARS WITH HANDS
MICHIGAN HUSBANQr MADE
BRUTAL ASSAULT TO END
THE VISITS OF RIVAL.
Muskegon, Mich.,—Enraged over al
leged visits of a rival to his home,
Frank Miller is charged with stopping
his wife on a crowded street and tear
ing off her ears with his bare hands.
Miller gave himself up to the author
ities after the tragedy.
“I got tired of finding her with Joe
Romonhoff. That’s why I did it," was
Miller’s only explanation to the po
lice.
Mrs. Millier's piercing screams as
her husband wrenched her ears from
her head attracted a crowd, through
which Miller fought his way. He es
caped and fled to the county jail. The
woman’s four little children were cry
ing about their bleeding mother when
she was picked up and rushed to the
nearest hospital.
Miller, a few months ago. shot Joe
Romonhoff four times. He had found
him in his home on several occasions,
and had warned him that he would
kill him the next time he came there.
He was acquitted afjer Romonhoff re
covered.
A few nights hgo. Miller told the
police, he arrived home soon after his
rival had left the house. An argu
ment that lasted all night is said to

TWO SCHOOL MATES
Congress very properly threw the
hooks into that medicinal beer sug
gestion—or possibly it wasn’t Con
gress, after all. At any rate, we
can't afford to have a nation of in
valids.
Of course, there may be method in
the madness of some women who are
continually putting their hands on
their back hair. It might fall off.
Shallow Well-Water
For Domestic Purposes
Practically all the farms in Georgia
are supplied with water from shal
low wells. This class of water is
very liable to serious contamination
from sewage and refuse animal mat
ter, since the wells are almost always
located in the vicinity of dwellings.
Absolutely pure water is never
found in nature, impurities in natural
water being derived from sordid, liq
uid and gaseous material with which
it comes in contact. The composition
of well water varies within very wide'
limits even when the waters arc de
rived from the same geological for
mation, due to the fact that the water
percolates ground which is saturated
to a greater or less extent with ani
mal and vegetable matter. Soils have
considerable oxidising power for this
organic matter and it. generally hap
pens that it is entirely destroyed be
fore reaching the well. A lot of ni
trates or ammonia in well water is
evidence that the water has previously
been in contnct with organic matter.
A chemical analysis of water, to
gether with a bacteriological exam
ination will determine whether it is
suitable for domestic use or drinking
purposes. The bacteriological exam
ination is important where there has
been sickness in n community and
especially where typhoid exists, ns
this bacillus easily gains access to
water supplies.
In purifying water on a smalt scale
for drinking purposes filtration thru
animal charcoal removes the greater
part of the injurious substances but
such filters soon become a source of
infection after use. Sterilizing wa
ter by boiling is not ns quickly ac
complished as some people imngine.
Boiling water for half an hour de
stroys about 99 per cent of all bac-

torinl life, and the remainder is harm,
less.
“Hard” waters contain mineral mat
ter, and the hardness is “temporary”
or “permanent’’ according to the na
ture of the animal matter. When
the water contains caronate of lirao
or magnesia it may be softened by
boiling, this is called temporary hard
ness. When mineral sulphates, chlo
rides, etc., are present the water is
“Permanently” hard. More soap has
to be used with hard waters to pro
duce a lather, and more time is nec
essary for cooking vegetables when
“hard” water is used.

Housework Is a Burden
Woman’s lot is a weary one at best.
But with backache and other distress
ing kidney ills life indeed becomes
a burden. Doan’s Kidney Pills have
made life brighter for many Bain-
bridge women. Read what Mrs. J. H.
Frazier says:
Mrs. J. H. Frazier 532 Planters St.
Bainbridge, says: “I was troubled for
a year or more with kidney complaint
My back ached and pained consider
ably. I tired easily and often had to
stop and rest and my kidneys acted
irregularly. I used different remedies
without a benefit and finally a friend
advised me to take Doan’s Kidney
Pills. I bought them at the Ehrlich
Drug Co., and they strengthened my
back ami kidneys. I felt bettor in ev
ery way. I gladly recommend
Doan’s.”
