Utilities’ Dollars
Directly Aid
Farmer
Create Market*, Employ Men, In
create Land Value, Build
Trade, Tend To Lower
Taxes
It is the intangible, the invisible,
that affects our lives most. You can
neither feel an emotion with your
hands nor see a thought with your
eyes, yet emotion and thought are
the two primary forces of life, caus
ing and governing every action of ev
ery living individual.
The life of every farmer in
Georgia is profoundly and favorably
affected by the pubic utility compa
nies of the State, but the farmer
rarely sees a power or gas plant, has
little use as yet for their product and
so is virtually without any realization
of his business partnership with the
utilities companies.
Yet the dollars which these com
panies bring into Georgia as invest
ments —the millions of dollars an
nually—create wealth in which the
farmer shares at every turn.
This money purchases material,
employs men, pays taxes, increases
property valuations, attracts new cit
izens and new dollars, establishes new
markets, builds trade, earns and
creates and distributes wealth, for
the benefit of all.
The public utility companies are
today the biggest single developers
-in the State of Georgia.
The companies bring the money in
to Georgia. Here it stays, constant
ly at work, benefiting every single
person whose livelihood is drawn
from Georgia.
. The companies bring the money,
every person in the State benefits
from it.
It is estimated that the public ;
utilities of the State have today in
vested two hundred million dollars. It
is beyond the ability of any econom
ist to estimate in dollars the actual
value of this sum to every person do
ing business or operating a farm in
the State. This $200,000,000 might
well be the nucleus, the center, of an
actual value of billions.
Any blow at the prosperity of the
utility companies proves a tremend
ously mutiplied blow at the general
prosperity of the State. Enlighten
ed law-makers in particular are com-,
ing to realize this.

New Way to Quickly
Stop Worst Cough
A remarkable new and simple
method for treating a cough gives
relief with the first doses and usual
ly breaks a severe cough in 24
Jhoura.
The treatment is based on the
prescription known as Dr. King's
Krw Discovery for Coughs. You
take just one teaspoonful and hold
\ it in your throat for 15 or 20 sec
onds before swallowing, without
following with water. The prescrip
tion has a double action. It not
only soothes and heals soreness and
Irritation, but It quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and con
gestion which axe the direct cant
of the coughing. People have been
astonished how quickly the cough
ing stopped with this new treat
ment, and the whole cough condi
tion goes in a very short time.
The prescription is for coughs,
®hest colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,
spasmodic croup, etc. It is excellent
for children as well as grownups—
no harmful drugs. Economical, too,
as the dose is only one

FERTILIZER SITUATION
BRINGS ON DISCUSSION
The fertilizer situation has brought
about no little discussion, and while
there is no doubt but that a few
dealers will handle it, as usual, the
proposition of “making your own”
has come up everywhere.
Be that as it may, fertilizers will
be made, sold and used, —and the
next thing is just what kind is best
for this immediate section.
Taking this matter up with author
ities in Athens at the State College
of Agriculture, an exchange reports
that |he following are recommended
by Prof. R. R. Childs, who is on
charge of the Cotton Industry and
Small Grands Investigations:
Piedmont Section. (North Geor
gia) Experiments covering a period
of 8 years show that a complete fer
tilizer has in all cases given the
highest returns per acre in cotton.
On most types of soil a fertilizer
analyzing 12 percent phosphoric
acid, 4 percent ammonia and 4 per
cent potash will give the best re
sults; 800 pounds per acre has prov
ed much more profitable than 400
pounds of the same mixture. There
seems to be little or no difference
between applying all of this mixture
at planting time as compared with
using the ammonia as a side appli
cation about the time the first
squares appear.
Linestone Valley*. For this sec
tion a 12-4-4 has also given high re
turns.
Fertilizer for Oat»
An application of 75-100 pounds
nitrate of soda just before growth
begins in the spring has given very
profitable returns. In the southern
part of the state it should be applied
from February 1 to March 1 and in
the northern part of the State from
March 1 to March 15. Delaying the
application until the oats are booting
for heading will result in no increase
and will delay time of maturity.

ANOTHER LUCKY DAY
FOD HART CIRCUIT
In one of uncle Jarchie’s conver
sations with a friend, he was super
stitious of Friday. His friend gave
him a list of great men born on Fri
day: Gladstone, Napolean, George
Washington, and Abe Lincoln. His
reply was, “yes, and every darn one
of them are dead.”
Hart Circuit will always look back
to Frjday, Feb. 13, 1925, with great
pride, as it has proved a day of bles
sing to us.
Our good friends are coming to
our rescue on the parsonage. Our
heads was just above the water mark,
when friends present the pastor with
$32.50 in cash. And J. B. Wright,
sent S3O worth of pecans, to the Hart
Circuit and a good day of work was
done by our friends. I feel it would
be a appropriate for me to sing “The
End of a Perfect Day.”
I feel sure I can express the good
wishes of all of the members of
Hart Curcuit for these donations of
our friends in this hour of need.
Mr. J. B. Wright, of Cairo, Ga.,
sent enough of the nicest pecans I
ever saw to fill the lot. I trust some
time in the future some paster’s boy
or girl will go to colleg off the pro
ceeds of those trees. It pays to plant
pecans.

Wilde Well Aware of
Failing of Humanity
Among other amusing stories in Ids
“Memoirs and Adventures," Kir Arthur
Conan Doyle relates this characteris
tic story told him by Oscar Wilde:
“We were discussing the cynical
maxim that the good fortune of our
friends made us discontented. ‘The
devil,’ said Wilde, ‘was once crossing
the Libyan desert, and he came upon
a spot when* a number of small tlends
were tormenting a holy hermit. The
sainted man easily shook off their evil
suggestions. The decll watched their
failure amt then he stepped forward
to give them a lesson. "What you do
18 too crude," said he. “Permit me
for one moment.” With that he whis
pered to the holy man. "Your brother
hust Just been made bishop of Alex- 1
andria." A scowl of malignant Jeal
ousy at once clouded the serene face
of the hermit. “That," said the devil
to his imps, “is the sort of thing which
I should recommend.” ’**
Must Not Be Separated
Faraday, the great chemist, learned
a lesson in boyhood by a very childish
exi>erience. As a little lad. humbly
earning his bread selling newspapers
in the streets, he was waiting outside
the office of an Edinburgh paper for
the morning issue, and thrust his head
, and arms through tlie railings of the
iron gate. He was a bom metaphy
sician and began to speculate on which
side of the railings he was. "My head
and hands are on one side," he said to
himself, “and my heart and body are
on the other.” The gate was opened
hastily before he could disengage him
self, and the wrench he received taught
him. as he said In after life, that all
true work required head and heart and
hands to be on the same side.
Do Good Work in World
. Those to whom a commonplace ap-
I pears to be extraordinary are rare, but
they are precious, since they, and they
alone have built up our minds. They
are the creators of human Intelligence,
1 the wide-eyed individuals who point
' out to the mass of mankind what has
been accepted as a matter of routine.
They are the poets, religious leaders.
Story tellers, philosophers, theologians,
artists, scientists. Inventors. Com
monly unnoticed things excite a
strange and compelling curiosity in
them, and each new question sets
them on a fresh quest. They see where
others are blind, hear where others are
deaf. They form the noble bund of
wonderers. —James Harvey Robinson.

Tenor’s Singing Saved
Two From Awful Death
The late Joseph Maas, the famous
tenor, during a visit to the United
States some years ago, was very fond
of hunting the buffalo on the prairies.
When engaged in this sport on one
occasion with his friend, Bouclcault,
the celebrated Irish actor, they were
suddenly attacked by a number of In
dians in the dusk of the evening,
while far from their encampment.
Bound band and foot, the captives
were dragged to the Indians' halting
place, where a fire was made. While
awaiting their fate, fearing that that
night would be their last, Bouclcault
said to his friend: “Joe, sing for me.”
Maas, who had never sung in such
terrible circumstances, tearfully com
plied with ids friend's request, and
begun to sing some old favorites, re-'
calls the Family Herald. The Indians
pricked up their ears and leaned for
ward to listen as the great tenor’s
voice thrilled through the night air.
When he stopped they pricked him
with their spears, saying, "More,
more," and he was compelled to con
tinue. Song after song he sang, until
at length he noticed that one by one
the Indians were dropping off to sleep
round the fire. When the last man
had dropped off to sleep Maas crawled
to a kniffc lying on the ground and
managed to f cut Boucicault’s thongs,
and his friend then quickly released
him.
Chinaman Sails Junk
in His Own Fashion
The oldest seagoing vessels of the
world are the junks of the Yellow’ sea
of China. These junks are “highly
decorated vessels, with tail poops
and rounded sides, reminiscent of the
days of Drake and Columbus.”
“Junks of this type are in existence
still which were built in the time of
Kien Lung, say some 150 years ago,”
says the London Yachting Montidy.
“A junk will not heave to, and John
Chinaman is fully aware of this. He
doesn't even try; his plan is far sim
pler. He lets his halyards go with a
run, and the sail is off his vessel In
a moment. The high poop acts as a
riding mizzen and brings him head to
wind; the low bow prevents him from
falling off the wind.
“If the blow is likely to last any
time, he lays out a sea anchor. His
next procedure is to burn a joss stick
and probably a few pieces of paper
to his household god. After that, as
there is nothing more to do except
eat or sleep—he does so.”
Missed Accustomed Noise
Along the Irish coast are lighthouses
which tire a signal gun at three-min
ute intervals during foggy weather. To
a visitor the noise is irritating and un
bearable, making sleep an impossi
bility; but to the s'easoned lighthouse
keeper not only does the monotonous
boom pass unnoticed, but a break in
its regularity reacts as a disturbance.
An old Irishman of long service
slept soundly and peacefully during a
winter night while his wife fired the
roaring three-minute signals—that is.
he rested comfortably until by some
shortcoming one of the charges failed
to explode.
Instantly he awoke, sat up, gazed
wildly around, and shouted, "Maggie!
What the deuce wan that?”
Coca-Chewing Evil Habit
The chief vice of the Indians and
half-breeds of Bolivia is chewing coca.
A man who has the habit can always
be detected by the Immense lump in
his cheek. The general effect of the
drug is to dull the nerves and stiffen
the resistance to fatigue. Under its
influence natives can endure great
hardships and physical strain. Many
of them will work for days at a time
on nothing except coca leaves, which
they begin to chew at breakfast time
and continue to chew throughout the
day. As with all narcotics, the per
sistent use of coca wrecks the nervous
system and dulls the intellect. —Youth’s
Companion.
How He Felt
There had been a shipwreck and the
passengers were taken to various
houses in the neighborhood to be made
comfortable. They were received as
guests of Importance in one home and
conversation was essayed. "There
were no fatalities, I understand,” said
one, “but how did you feel when the
waves dashed over you and you
thought each moment might be your
last?"
“Very wet, madam, very wet,” was
the reply.
Took It Literally
The two were discussing the care
less way In which trunks and suitcases
are handled by some railway com
panies.
“I had a very cute idea for prevent
ing that once,” said one of them,
smiling reminiscently. “I labeled each
of my bags. 'With care—China.”*
"And did that have any effect?"
asked the other.
"Well. I don’t know; you see. they
shipped the whole darned lot off to
Hongkong.

HARDWICK WILL NOT I
PUBLISH NEWSPAPER
Hon. Thomas W. Hardwick, former I
Congressman, United States Senator ■
and Governor, announces that he
has definitely abandoned the idea of
entering the newspaper field. This ;
decision, he states is the result large
ly of a complete change of his busi- j
ness plans. Governor Hardwick who |
has resided in Atlanta, since his re- j
tirement from the Governor’s office,
has removed to Dublin, Ga. and form
ed a partnership for the practice of
law with Judge John S. Adams, one
of the most prominent attorneys at
the Georgia bar. Hon. R. Earl Camp,
one of the former Governor’s closet
political and personal friends, and I
a brother of Editor Ernest Camp
of the Walton Tribune, who was an ;
associate of Judge Adams was recent
ly elected Judge of the Dublin Cir
cuit. He told several of his close
friends when he retired from offict
that he would soon return to the
practice of law in his old home-town
Sandersville which is a nearby city
of Dublin.
Governor Hardwick, from the view
point of important offices held, has i
been more signally honored than any
Georgian, living or dead and those
who know him best love him most.
A compliment that may be desired '
by any one. I
