FINE COTTON FROM
LAST YEAR'S STALKS.
Emanuel County Farmer
Has Fine Cotton From
Old Stalks.
Mr. A. T. Chapman of Gray
mont, Route 1, has a four-acre
patch of cotton that is growing
on the old stalks left standing
from last year’s crop. The stalks
of this cotton are not so very
high but they are exceptionally
well filled with large, fully-de
veloped blooms. The cotton is
looking fine and if the season is
not unfavorable to any great de
gree the patch should easily
make a bale to the acre. Mr.
Chapman brought a bloom into
town from this patch several
weeks ago, and stated that this
is some of the finest cotton that
he has ever grown.
Reports say that many farm
ers of extreme South Georgia are
cultivating much of their cotton
crop from the stalks that surviv
ed during the exceptionally mild
winter that has just passed. In
fact very few of the stalks in
our section were killed but the
farmers seemed to risk the
growth of these old stalks. Up
to date Mr. Chapman is the only
man in our section who has tried
this mode of cotton cultivation.
It seems entirely reasonable
that these old stalks should make
very fine cotton because of the
roots, by staying in the ground
so long, should be fully develop
ed. In this manner all the plant
food and moisture that, in other
cases, goes to build up the stalk
are used directly in developing
the blooms alone and consequent
ly they are more productive and
yield a larger output of the cot
ton fibre. This method would
result, as it appears to us, in a
smaller stalk and more fibre.
Graymont Hustler.
Too Much Cob For Him.
A farmer who was taking his
first long trip on a railroad train
found himself getting hungry.
The train boy came through, and
after some effort, sold the farm
er three bananas for 10 cents,
says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
The farmer peeled the bananas
threw away the fruit and ate the
skins.
Presently the b.oy came back.
“Want some more bananas?” he
asked.
“No, I guess not.”
“Why, wasn’t they good?”
“0, good’s common, I suppose,
but they’s too durned much cob
about them.”
Maim Mules For Spite.
Valdosta, July 6. Some inhu
man wretch in this city, through
spite toward their owners, has
been busy for some time maim
ing and mutilating horses and
mules, resulting in the death of
the animals in some cases. Two
of the big mules belonging to the
city street department, were
found stabbed and gashed in
their stalls, the wounds apparent
ly having been inflicted with a
sharp knipe. One of the animals
died and the other has been per
manently injured.- A mule be
longing to Robert Black, the
well known commission mer
chant, was badly cut on both
shoulders last night by some van
dal who entered its stall during
the night. There is no clew to
the guilty parties.
Should Move Here.
While South Georgia is bask
ing in cool sunshine and enjoying
breezes that are sweetened by
the odor of mellow fruits and
pretty flow’ers, the people in the
northern cities are dying of heat
or drowning in the lakes in an
effort to get cool. Why don’t
these people move to South Geor
gia and enjoy living?—Valdosta
Times.
Some Questions For
The Legislature.
Why is it that a school primer
costs twenty-five cents in Geor
gia and only four cents in On
tario?
Why is it that a First reader
costs twenty cents in Georgia and
six cents in Ontario?
Why is it that a Second reader
costs twenty-four cents in Geor
gia and nine cents in Ontario?
Why is it that a Third reader
costs thirty cents in Georgia and
fourteen cents in Ontario?
Why is it that a Fourth reader
costs thirty-five cents in Georgia
and sixteen cents in Ontario?
Why is it that an arithmetic
costs forty cents in Georgia and
ten cents in Ontario?
These questions are well worth
the Legislature’s investigation,
for they involve both the busi
ness and the educational inter
ests of the State. The excess of
school book prices in Georgia
over those in Ontario is paid out
of the incomes of thousands of
families, many of whom must
pinch expenses to send their
children to school. The series of
texts we have mentioned costs a
Georgian a dollar and seventy-five
cents, and a Canadian, only fifty
nine cents —a difference of a del
lar and sixteen cents on every
set of books, or an excess of
eleven hundred and sixty dollars
on every thousand books that are
bought.
Is there a valid reason why
Georgia cannot reduce the cost
of school books to its people as
the Canadian province has done?
If there is, let it be shown; but,
if not, let the State take due
measures to free its citizens from
this enormous tribute to particu
lar interests.
Certainly the public is entitled
to know all the facts in this re
markable situation and to that
end the McCrory resolution pro
viding for a thorough inquiry by
a joint committee of the House
and the Senate should be passed
and promptly carried into effect.
The State’s five-year contract for
school books will soon expire.
The patrons of our common
schools should not be bound to
pay apparently excessive prices
for another five years, if there is
a feasible plan of escape. Let.
all the facts and all the possibil
ities of this issue be brought to
light.—Atlanta Journal.
Scotchman Was Cautious.
Two Scotchmen were discuss
ing the question of long engage
ments. The argument arose
through one of them declaring
that a newly married couple were
not getting on well together, re
lates Pearson’s Magazine.
“Weel, what else can ye ex
pec’?” returned the other with
scorn. “They got mairret after
cortin’for only seven year. He
had nae chance to ken onything
about weemen in sic a wee while
|as that.”
“Ye’re richt, man,’’agreed the
I other; “nae chance at a’. I
j coortit for twenty year, an’ at
the end o’ that time I ken’t sic a
| lot about weemen that I didria
j mairry.”
