TRIAL BY THIRTEEN JURORS- Hound common serise and prov ed expediency characterize the practice whereby thirteen, instead of the regulation twelve, jurors will hear evidence in the Patrick Calhoun trial m Han Francisco. The Calhoun case is on a plane with many other celebrated trials, civil and criminal, in this coun try, wherein both prosecution and defense were subjected to exaust-, itig uml extraordinary expense in summoning witnesses and employ-' ing counsel. It has transpired frequently in j the past that arduous labors and trenienduous expenditure were alike brought to nothihg by the unexpected illness of onb or more of the jurors. ' Tins contingency, the device adopted in the Calhoun trial, is intended to obviate. Should one j of the con vent ional twelve jurors j become incapacitated for service, j be can retire from the jury box j without prejudice to the onward process of the trial. Had this method been gener ally adopted several years ago, public treasuries would have been saved immense and unnecessary; drains and socitey would have 1 been spared the reproach and oh-1 vious injury that follows delay in I meeting out justice.—Atlanta ( 'ellMtitlltioll.

Ui\Uvt\UUUIUi««%UUtUMWWtt No Land So Rich That Fertilizer Cannot Make It Better You use fertilizers for the profit you get out of them—and the better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used on it. Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop.without Virgitiia-Carolina Fertilizers that these fertilizers cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were made only for land too poor to produce without them. If poor land will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will show at least double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers to increase the quality, as well as the quantity of the crop—and you will increase the profits from your land. “I have l>een using your fertilizers for a number of years” says Mr. William Fraiser, of Glasburg, La., "'and fin J that it not only pays to fertilize, but to do plenty of it, and use the best fertilizers to be had, such as your brands. I have used a number of them and found them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other fertilizers that 1 have ever used. - ’ Every planter and farmer should have a copy of the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year-Book.
