COCHRAN, PULASKI COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY JUNE 22, 1911. 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. 0 VER 8 Y~G L AZIE R On Thursday of last week Weber Glazier, of Manatee, and Miss Jim mie Overby, of Bradentown, quiet ly. drove to Palmetto, where they were united in marriage, the cere mony being performed by Rev Mr. Pugh, the Baptist clergyman of that city, and also the minister-in charge of the Manatee Baptist Church.

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. — Fitzgerald Enterprise.
