GIIANTLAND WILL NOT RUN. m Congressman Bartlett Will Not be Opposed by Sentor Grant land. A few days ago Senator Seatland Grantland, of Spalding county, who has been frequently mention ed lately as a probable candidate for Congress from this district, stated that he would be in the race. He admits that he has been urged by friends to run and has seriously considered the matter, but he has reached a decision not to enter the contest. In speaking of his decision he says: “1 am so busily engaged in de veloping the power at High Falls and at the first of the yew (I will have that power brought tof^r^® ll and utilized in manufactories he-re. Among the ones a custom a&d merchant corn and Hour wilt, while other new enterprises that are now being considered will spring into life. I have had this project in mind and under way for sonttf tibif? and all of my plans are P9W in the hands Cf engineers and draughtsmen “I’.o are to carry them out and if I were to lay this enterprise aside to make a race for congress I feel that I would doing this section an injustice, that whatever good I might accom plished at the national capital would fail to make amends for. I have only one ambition, and that is to better the condition of this section, and in whatever ca pacity I can serve. I will always be ready to place myself in the breach.” THE BEST TIME.

EASY “SURE THINGS.” Some Propositions That It Is Safe to Bet Against. There are many things which at first thought appear to be easy enough of accomplishment that it is pretty safe to bet a man he cannot do. Most people know that the human hands are not strong enough to break anew laid egg if the hands are clasped and the egg laid endwise between the palms. It is said that the pressure required to break an egg in this manner amounts to tons. Among other safe bets is a wager that a man cannot rise from a chair without bending forward or putting his feet under the eliair or outside of it. Many a man will back himself to give another a start of 50 yards In a dash of 100, provided the man having the start hops all the way. But no runner, however swift, can give that amount of start to an ordinary man. For the first five yards they go at practically the same pace. Therefore the runner, to go 95 yards while the “hopper” goes 45, would have to run more than twice as fast, and it would be a weak man who could not hop 45 yards at a pace equal to 20 seconds for 100 yards, and that would mean that the runner in order to win would have to beat all previous records. If a man boasts that his penknife is particularly sharp, ask him to cut with one stroke of the blade one of those yellow ribbons, mostly of silk, which come around bundles of cigars. In 999 cases out of 1,000 the knife is not sharp enough to do this. It will cut through all the ribbon but the last strand, and that will pull out long, and the more he tries to cut It the longer it will pull out It is safe to bet any one except a blind man that be cannot stand with out support of any kind for five min utes at a stretch if he Is thoroughly blindfolded without moving his feet. If he does not move his feet he is pretty sure to topple over In about a minute. A King’s Fear of Woman’s Beauty. Charles XII of Sweden feared only one power in the world, the power of beauty; only a handsome woman could boast of making him quail—she put him to flight. He said: “So many he roes have succumbed to the attractions of a beautiful face! Did not Alexan der, my pet, burn a town to please a ridiculous adventuress? I want my life to be free from such weakness; history must not find such a stain upon it.” He was told one day that a young girl had come to sue for Justice on be half of a blind octogenarian father maltreated by soldiers. The first in clination of the king, a strict disciplina rian, was to rush straight to the plain tiff, to hear the details of the misde meanor for himself, but suddenly stop ping he asked, “Is she good looking?” And being assured that she was both very young and unusually lovely, be sent word that she must wear a veil, otherwise he would not listen to her.— Countess Potocka’s Memoirs. A Salmon’s Leap. One of the directors of the Norwegian fisheries has been endeavoring to dis cover the height a salmon will leap when clearing a waterfall which ob structs Its passage up stream. Masts were placed below the fall to Insure accurate measurements. It Is stated that a fish can leap to the height of twenty feet. When a fish failed to clear the fall at one bound. It remained In the falling water and then, with a rapid twist of the body, gave a spring and was successful, THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1902. To The Fanner Headers of The News-Gazette. Every farmer, gardener, fruit grower and owner of live stock, on j however small a scale, is entitled (to the bulletin published by the j Georgia Experiment Station. These bulletins contain the results ! of a large number of carefully con ducted experiments that have been made during the past twelve years for the sole purpose of solving the problems that present themselves to every intelligent practical farm er who wishes to secure the best results in his business. The station is supported and the bulletins published without cost to those who are to be benefited by the same. Bulletin No. 55, recently issued, contains the results of experiments in corn culture, including variety tests, culture tests, fertilizer tests, etc. Bulletin No. 5(3, now being dis tributed to those names that are on the mail lists of the station, the results of variety tests, culture | tests, fertilizer tests, etc., of cot ton. The variety tests show the Comparative merits of twenty three varieties of cotton, which cover most of the kinds of which seeds are offered for sale by grow ers. The names and addresses of the growers are also given. Bulletin No. 5(5, in its “appen dix,” gives fertilizer formulas for all the principal crops planted in field and garden in Georgia. A careful compliance with these for mulas alone would probably save many farmers from much disap pointment and loss that annually result from buying unsuitable fer tilizers and from their injudicious I use. Bulletin No. 49, issued over a year ago, is on the subject of Prac tical Dairying, including informa tion in regard to milking, feeding, churning and the compounding of feed rations for cattle. Every owner of one cow should have a copy. A good many of the back copies of Nos. 1 and 56 can yet be sup plied. Every farmer is invited to apply for the bulletins just named and to have his name entered on the permanent mail list. A postal card request is all that is necessary. Give your name, postoffice, county and state, and ask for any bulletin you may particularly desire and for all future bulletins, and ad dress the card to “Georgia Exper iment Station, Experiment, Ga.” (Other state papers are request ed to copy the above).

SCOTT * BOWNE, Chcmiati, New York# INDIAN MAPLE SUGAR THE RED MAN TAUGHT THE WHITE MAN TO MAKE THE DAINTY. Its Mannfartnre Wai Practiced by All Norther* Indiana and ffni Known to Thoae Living na Far South a m Florid* and Texaa. Very few of the people to whom ma ple sugar is an entirely familiar and commonplace thing are aware of the tact that the method of making sugar Was taught to the white people by the Indians and that they made sugar long before the discovery of America. This is only one of the many things that the white people learned from the Indians. Others wore the weaving of cotton, the cultivation of Indian corn and the use of tobacco. Some of the early writors tell us that the French were the first to make this sugar and that they learned how to make It from the Indian women. The sap was collected in a rude way, a gash being cut In the tree, and into this a stick was thrust down which the free ly flowing sap dripped into a vessel of birch bark gr p pourfl or into wooden troughs hollowed out by fire or the ax. of the sap redbet stones were thrown, just as In old times they used to be thrown into th£ water in which food was belled, and by constantly throwing In hot stones and taking out those that bad become cool the sap was boiled and evaporated, and at length sirup was made, which later became sugar. This manufacture of the sugar was not confined to any one tribe, but was practiced by all northern Indians and was known to those living as far south ae Florida said Texas. Among the sugar making tribes a special festival was held, which was called the maple dance, which was undoubtedly a re ligious festival in the nature of a prayer or propitiatory ceremony, ask ing for an abundant flow of sap and for good fortune In collecting It. Among many If not all the Indians Inhabiting the northern United States maple sugar was not merely a luxury, something eaten because It was tooth some, but was actually an Important part of their support. Mixed with pounded, parched corn. It was put up In small quantities and was a concen trated form of nutriment not much less valuable In respect to its quality of support than tbe peinmican which was used almost down to our own times. Among all the older writers who had much fnmlliarlty with the customs of tbe Indians accounts are given of the manufacture of sugar, and this custom was so general that among many tribes the month In which the sap ran best was called the sugar month. By the Iroquois the name Ratlrontaks, meaning tree eaters, was applied to the Algonquin tribes, and an eminent au thority, Dr. Brinton. lias suggested that they were probably “so called from their love of the product of th* sugar maple.” On the other band, A. F. Chamberlain has very plausibly said “that It Is hardly likely that the Iroquois distinguished other tribes by this term. If lt origin be as suggested, since they themselves were Bugar mak ers and eaters.” A more probable origin of the word Is that given by Schoolcraft, In substance as follows: “Ratlrontaks, whence Adi rondacks, was applied chiefly to the Montagnuis tribes, north of tbe St. Lawrence, and was a derisive term in dicating a well known habit of these tribes of eating the Inner bark of trees in winter when food was scarce or when on war excursions.” This habit of eating the Inner bark of trees was, as Is well known, common to many tribes of Indians, both those who inhabit the country where the sug ar maple grows and also those In other parts of the country where the maple la unknown. On the western prairies sugar was made also from the box elder, which trees were tapped by the Indiana and the sap boiled down for sugar, and to day the Cheyenne Indians tell us that It was from this tree that they derived all the sugar that they bad until the arrival of tbe white man On the plains something more than 50 years ago. It Is interesting to observe that In many tribes today the word for sugar Is precisely the word which they ap plied to tbe product of tbe maple tree before they knew tbe white man’s sug ar. It is Interesting also to see that among many tribes the general term for sugar means wood or tree water— that is to say, tree sap. This Is true of tbe Omahas and Poncas, according to J. O. Dorsey, and also of the Kansas, Osage and lowa, Winnebago, Tuscaro ra and Pawnee. The Cheyennes, on the other band, call it box elder water. A. F. Chamberlain, who has gone with great care Into the question of the meaning of the words which designate the maple tree and Its product. Is dis posed to believe that tbe name of the maple meaas the tree —In other words, the renl or actual tree or the tree which ! stands above all others.—Forest and Stream.

Among the great natural resources of Georgia her abundant water powers, which are to be found in almost every section of the state, must be given great prominence. Their extent and value are not properly appreciated even by our own people, but there are vast possibilities in their application. Comparatively little of this force has been put to the service of man, but it is attracting attention from intelligent and enterprising men who are either already engaged in the industrial development of the south or are preparing to participate in it. The Geological Survey of Georgia, which is doing a great work for the state in setting forth its resources, published not long ago a pamphlet on the water powers of Georgia that contained, like many other publications of that bureau, much valuable and suggestive in formation. The pamphlet referred to shows that there are many streams in Georgia supplying thousands upon thousands of units of horse power that now go to waste because capital has not been applied to their de velopment. Since that publication there has been a decided advance in the use of the state’s water powers, either directly or by electric transmission, but all that is now employed is small compared to what is still left idle. It is no longer necessary to locate a plant on a swift flowing water course in order to apply its power to mechanical effects. Electrical science now enables us to transmit this force for miles with little loss and at a cost which under most conditions makes it preferable to any other form of motive power. We expect to see many Georgia streams that are now running wild and contributing no aid to the efforts of man harnessed and made immensely valuable in the early future. Stock Notes. In raising calves for the dairy, commence with the breeding. Never give a horse medicine through his nostrils. It has killed many an animal. Sometimes calves have fits, the result of indigestion. Correct the errors of feeding. If horses have pinworms, try an injection of soapsuds and weak tobacco tea night and morning. When the bull’s hair is rough and looks dead, feed a good quan tity of oilcake and card him thoroughly. What Madstone Looks Like. The madstone is supposed to be taken from the stomach of a white deer. It is about the size of an English walnut, and slightly porous. When a person is bitten by an animal afflicted with rabies the stone is placed on the bite. It immediately sticks, sometimes for half an hour. One of the fears of the cow-boy is of being bitten by a skunk. In the cattle country, when the puncher is on the range and must sleep outdoors of nights, he hardly ever lies down on the ground without thinking of this danger. When he is bitten it is almost always in the face. Nine times out of ten hydrophobia symptoms develope. In most cases lie is anywhere from 20 to 50 miles from a doctor, and search is made among the ranchers for a madstone. The cow-puncher if sinple in his faiths, and he clings to this one. And, indeed, many marvelous tales are told qf the success of this somewhat vague healer. The writer knows of one remarkable case. A man in a New Mexican cattle town was bitten in the arm by a mad dog. The nearest doctor gave his aid, but he was not able to decrease the swelling. A madstone was sent for from a distance and applied to the bite. The curative properties of the stone lie in its power of absorption. It adhered at once to this man’s arm. Running up the elbow was a thin blue streak, tracing the course of the poison. As the stone stuck, this streak gradually decreasd, and was not to lie seen when the inanimate little doctor fell off, after 30 minutes adhe sion. The stone was put in water and a blue film immediately formed on the surface. The man got well. The value of a madstone varies with its owner. The stone just told of was held at #SOO. CANCEROUS __ Are in many respects like other ulcers or gg g gg gm sores, and this resemblance often proves fatal. Valuable time is lost in fruitless efforts to heal the sore with washes and salves, because the germs of Cancer that are multi plying in the blood and the new Cancer cells which are constantly develop ing keep up the irritation and discharge, and at last sharp shooting pains announce the approach of the eating and sloughing stage, and a hideous, sickening cancerous sore begins its destructive work. No ulcer or sore can exist with out some predisposing internal cause that has poisoned the blood, and the open discharging ulcer, or the fester ing sore on the lip, cheek or other part of the body will continue to spread and eat deeper into the flesh unless the blood is purified and the Cancer germs or morbid matter eliminated from the circulation. S S. S. cleanses the blood of all decaying effete matter. It has great antidotal and purifying properties that soon destroy the germs and poisons and restore the blood to its natural condition.
