ACCURACY
Astrakhan Lambs.
From Rokhara some million and a !
hall astrakhan skins are sent each
year to Europe and America. The
lajnbs whose skins are known as as
trakhan are specially bred for the pur
pose. and some flocks contain as many
as 6,000 head. The skins are rough
ly dressed before being exported. Ex
periments have been made in the
breeding of lambs for astrakhan in
various parts of Asia and Europe, but
It is claimed that Bokhara alone pro
daces the best lambs for the purpose.

GOVERNOR PARDONS 21.

Gilmer County Election Managers
Fr*eed By Governor Brown.
Atlanta. —Within twenty-five hours
after twenty-one managers of election
of Gitfier county had pleaded guity
in open court in that county to charges
of violating the election law's by fail
ure to observe the list of voters as
prepared by the registration board,
Governor Brown issued pardons to
each, of them, and without referring
the matter to the pardon board.
A. H. Burtz was found guilty and
immediately the other defendants en
tered pleas of guilty, then rushed
their attorneys to Atlanta to get the
governor to pardon them.
Governor Brown decided that the
prosecution of the men was malicious
and due to factional politics.
Regarding the pardoning Governor
Brown says;
"The applicants were convicted and
antered pleas of guilty to a charge
growing out of the management of an
eection in the said county (Gilmer),
said prosecutions being purely lor po
litical purposes, and are recommend
ed by many good people, who insist
that said prosecutions were so insti
tuted.”
Gilmer has been the seat of a polit
ical war for the past few years, first
one faction then the other dominat
ing. These factions are always in a
row of some sort.
$100,000,000 DEPOSITS.
Banks of Georgia Are in Fine Shape
According to Treasurer.
Atlanta.—There are now in the
.tate of Georgia 540 state banks, with
jpward of $40,000,000 of capital and
surplus and $100,000,000 of deposits,
and there has not been a single fail
ure in three years, according to Ben
/. Perry, assistant to the state treas
urer.
Mr. Perry has just inaugurated a
aew system by which the reports of
the state banks, 4,800 reports annual
ly, will be kept tabulated in one book,
which will show at a glance in paral
lel columns the date of examination
of every bank and its precise condi
tion on that date, snowing resources,
liabilities and list of stocknolders.
Notwithstanding the work neces
sary to make up this record, and the
limited office force, Mr. Perry says
that every effort will be made by the
present force to do the work, realizing
that it will furnish information so
much needed and desired by the
bankers and others interested in the
condition of state banks, as it will
keep a perfect tab on each individual
hank and furnish easy reference
thereto.
NEAR-BEER FIGHT.
Anti-Saloon League Preparing for
Strong Campaign.
Atlanta.—The Anti-Saloon
league is making plans for a hard
light on near-beer at the session of
the legislature next June. Personal
letters have been sent out to the new
ly elected law-makers over the state
enlisting their support for better leg
islation. Many favorable replies have
been received from the egislators.
It is the plan of the Anti-Saloon
league and their hundreds of prohibi
tion friends to amend the prohibition
law so as to. eliminate the word in
toxicating, which It appears has
caused a world of trouble. It seems
to be a pretty hard matter to prove
that the near-beer is intoxicating in
many instances, because, as some
nave expressed it, one man’s capacity
for drinking is greater than another’s’
The idea of the league is to make it
against the law to sell beer or any
other drink that contains any alcohol
whatever.
Atlanta.—lt is a pretty sure thing
that Atlanta will get the next Na
tional Democratic convention which
is to be held next year. If the city
does not get the convention it will
not be due to any want of effort on
its part. Already the city council
bas taken the matter in hand, ap
pointed a committee and will work
with might and main to win. It re
quires something like $50,000 in ex
penses to get this convention but ap
parently this is a small thing to At
lanta and the state. The funds are
practically assured and early this
week committees will begin working
out ways and means to secure the
convention and care for it after it is
secured.
AtSanta.—Charlie C. Williams, for a
number of years private secretary to
Major J. F. Hanson, president of the
Central railroad, and one of the best
.mown railroad officials in the state,
cas resigned that position and accept
ed a place with a Land and Invest
ment company of Atlanta.
Atlanta—The Presbyterian synod
-if Georgia will meet at Commerce
Wednesday, November 8. Reports
from Commerce state that the people
of that enterprising town are making
plans to entertain the state meeting
FINE COTON FROM ELBERT.
Has Nine Locks of Lint to the 801 l
Instead of Usual Four.
Atlanta. —Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture Robert F. Wright receiv
ed by express several bolls of cotton,
which was grown by E. C. Teasley at
nls farm near Bowman, in Elbert
county. The bolls are the largest that
nave ever been seen in the depart
ment, and instead of the usual num
ber of four locks of lint to the boll,
each one of those sent contains nine
locks.
“This is undoubtedly the finest cot:
ton that 1 have ever seen,” said Cap
tain Wright, ’and it illustrates the
of careful culture and selection
of seed in the growing of farm prod
ucts. Mr. Teasley told me that he
has been selecting his seed for the
past three years in order to get this
result, and he has done admirably
well.
“Mr. Teasley tells me that after he
had planted his first selection of seed
three years ago he went through his
field, after his cotton had opened and
was ready to be picked, and selected
the largest bolls, or the ones having
tlie greatest number of locks. These
he had ginned separately, and the
next season he planted the seed in a
different patch from his other cotton.
That fall he went through the same
process of selection, taking only
those bolls that had a large number
of locks, and then again the next year,
which finally resulted in his securing
the unusually fine specimens which 1
have here. From this planting I esti
mate that he will secure more lint
than he would from the ordinary kind,
as according to the number of locks
contained in each of these bolls, he
can gin out just double the amount
ue would from the other kind.”
claim they were deported.
Italians Sue Lookout Coal Company
and English for $55,000.
Atlanta.—Gufdo Serrino and two
other Italians who were involved in
the Durham mine disturbance of last
May, have failed Individual suits in
the city court against the Lookout
Mountain Coal and Coke company and
J, W. English, Jr., charging that they
were deported by tnreat and duress
from the state of Georgia when tney
had violated no law.
The petitions allege that James W.
English, Jr., on his own authority and
without warrant and law, caused the
Lindale company of the Fifth regi
ment of the state infantry to be sent
to Durham mines in order to serve
his private purposes, and because of
the facts set forth in the petitions,
each plaintiff asks $2,500 damages—
an aggregate of $55,000 damages.
Atlanta.—The Presbyterians of At
lanta are arranging lor a gigantic
mass meeting which is to be held in
tho auditorium-armory Sunday, De
cember 11. December 4 marks the be
ginning of the fiftieth year of the
oouthem Presbyterian church and the
meeting on the 11th is intended as a
celebration of that event. The chief
speaker on the occasion will be Dr.
James 1. Vance, who is regarded as
probably the greatest Presbyterian
preacher in America. He has prob
ably been called to more big Presby
terian churches than any other man
in the world. For the last six years
he has been pastor of the North Re
form church in Newark, N. J.
Atlanta. —The announcement that
the Georgia Educational association
will probably hold its 1911 convention
in Rome next April has been received
with interest by educators in all parts
of the state. It will be recalled that
at the Atlanta convention last April
Rome extended an Invitation but the
time and place of meeting were left
to the directorate. It now aDpears
that the choice of the next meeting
place will be decided in a few days
and R. B. Daniel of Columbus, presi
dent of the Georgia Teachers’ associ
ation, has written to Rome asking
if they still desire the convention.
Savannah.—That the south can
grow corn successfully, and at a much
lower cost than it can buy from the
north and west, has been demonstrat
ed frequently, said Prof. James M.
Johnson, manager of the model farm
in discussing the possibilities of that
industry in the connection with the
prevalence through this section, es
pecially, of the corn weevil, said to be
the worst evil the southern farmer
has to contend with.
Rome. —A chamber of commerce
has been organized here under very
favorable conditions and the pros
pects are bright for a splendid or

Waycross. —Methodists at Beech, 19
miles northwest of Waycross, are pre
paring to erect a handsome church to
replace a frame building now used
as a church. Some of the material
for the new edifice lias arrived, and
work will commence in the near fu
ture.

NEED MONEY FOR GOOD WORK
P ans of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis.
What “A Million for Tuberculosis
rom Red Cross Seals” will do in pro
viding some of the 275,000 beds need
ed at once in the United States for
consumptives, is explained in a recent
bulletin of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu
berculosis. There is just about one
bed for every ten indigent consump
tives, and if all tuberculosis persons
in the country are counted, both rich
and poor, hardly one for every 25 or
30. If sufficient hospital accommoda
tions are provided only for those
who are too poor to pay the full
price for their treatment fully 275,000
more beds in special institutions for
tuberculosis will be needed at once.
The immense outlay necessary to pro
vide and maintain so many beds in
hospitals, makes it imperative, the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis de
clares, that such institutions be erect
ed from public money, either muni
cipal, county or state. In order to
get appropriations for public hospitals
for tuberculosis, agitation is neces
sary, and in order to create a cam
paign of agitation, organization is de
manded. But in order that an organi
zation may carry on an effective cam
paign, funds are needed.
These funds it is proposed to secure
in as many communities as possible
from the sale of Red Cross seals.
The Spots Disappeared.
Mrs. Dolan lived in a district which
was not as favorable for the outdoor
household experiments recommended
by the Ladies' Helper as it might have
been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapid
ly assimilating, and in a manner not
so uncommon as it might be she
blamed the estimable periodical for
her difficulties.
"I wisht I had a holt o’ that woman
that runs the 'Handy Hints’ depart
ment,” she remarked to her husband
one morning after an early excursion
into the back yard, whence she re
turned in high dudgeon.
“I t’ought you fought she was a
grand wan,” said Mr. Dolan, cautious
ly testing his cup of tea.
“Well, I’ve changed me mind, as
I’ve the rights to do,” replied his wife.
“She said to put sody on thim stains
in the tablecloth, and l’ave it out over
night on the line, an’ they’d be gone
entirely whin morning come. Sure' ’tis
the tablecloth that’s gone—the d-e
--saving woman that she is!”—Youth’s
Companion.
A Logical Landlord.
Many a tenant will sympathize with
the man in this story, from the Phila
delphia Record. He was renting a
small house which the landlord had
refused to repair. One day the owner
came to see him.
"Jones,” he said, “I shall have to
raise your rent.”
"What for?" asked Jones, anxiously.
“Have taxes gone up?”
"No,” the landlord answered, “but I
see you’ve painted the house and put
In a new range and bathtub. That, of
course, makes it worth more rent.”
WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.
A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
bas views about food. He says:
“I have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic End dietetic laws.
“With such a feeling as to my dujflgj
I take great pleasure in saying to
public that in my own experience
also from personal observation I.
found no food equal to
and that I find there is almost no litnro
to the great benefits this food wi“
bring when used in ail cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
“It is my experience that no physi
cal condition forbids the use of Grape-
Nuts. To persons in health there Is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hu
man system on the day’s work.
"In cases of Indigestion I know that
a complete breakfast can bo made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. I also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach Is too weak to digest other
food.
“This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years, treating all
manner of chronic and acute diseases,
and the letter is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for it.”
