yesterday morning th action of the
state U. D. C., In determining finally

a vexed problem.
Andersonville, as stated, was select

site, advocating the proposal In
brief address.
Miss Ida Holt offered Macon, recit
ing the many claims of that city for
the memorial; location, educational
Institutions and the fact that almost
every party going to Andersonville
passes there.
Mrs. W. H. Kates proposed Ameri

part to Its near proximity to Anderson-

Miss Murphy of Gainesville, spoke
In favor of AndersonviUe. She read
letters from the mayor and other cit

near U-baimn, Ohio, is lo lie dlssolv-
In 1805 the first Rettlers of tho

they prospered. At one time the col

were established years ago near Day-

both practically are now extinct,
At Lebanon there are 23 survivors
only five of whom arc less than 70

The Shakers sprang up In Eng

first came to Aemrica In 1774 In
charge ot Mother Ann Lee. The prim
al note of their religion was brother
ly love, and a belief In celibacy was
Inherent. Thus their ranks were re-
pleted through conversion solely as
no children were born to maintain
the faith.

Messrs. Lucas & Jacksoifcof Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir-
gmia-Carobna Fertilizer on about 66 acres planted with cotton, and
say: ‘ We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw. and all tho
people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls
on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms,
sauares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about
2 bales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer
tilized and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to
five acres.”
An Interesting picture of the cotton plants referred to will bo

The rullroads have wrecking crews
at work, the city has employed a
large force of workmen clearing out
the wreckage, and the people are
moving It to other quarters.
It is hard to estimate the damage
to property, but conservative esti
mates place the same In the neigh
borhood of $600,000, depending largely
upon the amount of damage done to
the stock of goods In stores which
were completely wrecked.
The people have grasped the situa
tion and hundreds of workmen are
repairing damages, moving goods,
clearing wreckage, and the like. The
loss is complete with many who are
reduced to poverty. .
