DEATH’S SHADO W
DARKENS VATICAN
Rome, June 19. —Wearied by his
labor at the mass for the feast of
Corpus Domini, Pope Pius collapsed
and swooned today. He rallied
quickly from the fainting fit, but
the condition of his health is caus
ing grave anxiety at the Vatican.
He fears that lie may die suddenly
of heart failure.
The pope’s greatest fear is that
he may die without the supreme
comfort of bidding farewell to his
sisters, to whom he is devotedly at
tached, and has had them take res
idence in an apartment on the Pi
azzi Rusticcuei near the Vatican.
There they are in constant telephon
ic communication with the pope’s
apartment when they are not at the
Vatican itself.
Pius Ins always refused to allow
members of His family to live in the
Vatican itself, but because of the
condition of his health with the de
trimental cardiac symptoms, Dr.
Petair had advised that they re
main at the Vatican.
The frequent visits of Cardinal
Vivos Y Tuto, the pope’s confessor
and favorite adviser, are attracting
attention.
The correspondent of the Nation
al News association is informed
that an active change of ideas is
taking place among the groups of
cardinals. The sympathies of the
sacred college are almost unani
mously centered around Cardinal
Batnpolla and the pope himself of
ten smilingly calls him ‘my suc
cessor.” —Atlanta Georgian.

FROM COTTON PLANT
ROOTS, CROP GROWS
Moultrie, Ga., June 15. —Judge
T. 11. Parker, ordinary of this
county, in addition to being a good
lawyer and expert politician, is
some farmer. Early last fall he de
cided he would experiment in pre
serving the roots of his cotton by
throwing a layer of sand upon
them, and when danger of killing
frosts had passed this spring break
ing the dirt away. The result lias
been that he will reap a rich har
vest and prove that the experiment
is a decided success.
Today he was exhibiting a stalk
of this cotton to a gathering of far
mers, and it clearly shows where
the old stalk died last fall, around
this dead portion sprouts to the
number of five or six appearing
with an exceedingly healthy growth.
The plant has ninety-six well de
veloped bolls, squares, and blooms,
and doubtless, had it been left to
grow and mature, would have add
ed a great deal more fruit. Judge
Parker says that three-fourths of the
plants preserved from last year
sprouted, and his field looks fine. —
