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.” HANK RUT NOTICE.
