HUGHES WITH PEOPLE
INTEREST, AVOCATION
True to Himself, True to His
People and to His
Country.
Hawkinsville, Ga , May 2, ’l4.
Editor Monitor:
A copy of vour honest paper
found its way to my den yester
day, and truly glad I was to get
it. I say honest, because you
seem to strive to publish a paper
for the upbuilding of our people
and section. You don’t yell “me
too” every time a big city daily
boosts the privileged class. Or
the great detective high priest,
W. J. Burns, who, according to
Tom, is not able to locate a cow,
unless she wore a bell and had a
lantern tied to her tail.
But, I digress What I want
to say is, to endorse every word
you say in The Monitor of April
30th about Dud Hughes, and
more if possible. Ninety per
cent, of the citizens of the 12th
District are farmers. And Dud
Hughes, their able representa
tive in Congress, is a farmer. A
worker untiring, faithful and
true. True to himself, true to
his people and true to his coun
try. What more do we want, or
what better can we get? We
have a man who is able and whol
ly in sympathy with the people
by interest and avocation. And
at the present stage of the game
there are none who can fill his
place.
His opponent, doubtless, is
qualified by education, but he
lacks the experience and avoca
tion that alone can bring him in
sympathetic touch with the great
majority of the people who com
pose the citizenry of the Twelfth
Congressional District- Hence,
with all due respect to his oppo
nent, and with all the vim and
energy that God has given us,
we shall again give our vote and
influence to Dud Hughes for
Congress. J. B. Howard.

DIM TO APPLY COTTON SEEO MEAL US
ft FEHTILIZEB FORGREATEST RESULTS
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College or Agriculture.
It would be considered little short
of a crime in Europe to apply u ct
ly to the soil any material which can
first be used with advantage in the
nutrition of live stock. Hence, it is
not surprising that the farmers of
Denmark, Germany and England are
loathe to believe that we in the South
apply directly to the soil as fertilizer
hundreds of tons of cotton seed meal
each year.
Men who have fed cotton seed meal
to any considerable extent agree that
its feeding value is conservatively es
timated at S4O per ton. Add the fer
tilizing and estimated feeding value
of cotton seed meal together and we
have a ton of cotton seed meal worth
S7O. Figuring that 75 per cent, of the
fertilizing content of cotton seed meal
is retained in the manure of the ani
mals to which it is fed, there is left
when it is fed, a net value of $62.50.
Considering that it is worth $62.50
when fed to live stock, why throw
away S3O with every ton applied di
rectly to the soil as fertilizer? When

we consider that it is humus which
our Southern soils most need, and
that manure affords the best of hu
mus, is it not probable that indirectly
cotton seed meal is worth more as a
fertilizer when fed through animals
than when applied direct, not to men
tion the "value of tiie beef it produces
or the milk and butter, or the energy
for work stock?
Not a few farmers are paying as
high as S3O a ton for wheat bran and
from S3O to $35 for middlings to feed
live stock while they use their cot
ton seed meal for fertilizer. Cotton
seed meal takes the place of and is
better than bran. The purchase of
bran is, of course, not necessary and
represents that much money thrown
away. It is exceedingly strange that
the whole world should learn the feed
ing value of cotton seed meal before
the South. It is inexcusable that the
Northern and Western farmers should
find the Southern farmer so easy a
victim as to swap him bran for cot
ton seed meal.

! HAY DUNN FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
Recommended to Mercy and
Sentenced for Life for
Killing Miller.
The case of May Dunn, the
young woman who was tried in
superior court here last week,
charged with the murder of Fred
Miller, at Soperton on the night
of April firh. created much in
! terest. She was found guilty,
after a hotly contested legal fight,
the verdict recommending mercy
and making the sentence life
i imprisonment.
The evidence was practically
; the same as brought oat at the
preliminary trial, the defense in
troducing no evidence, and
the prisoner making only a
brief statement. The facts as
brought out were that Fred Mil
lor and several other men were
it, the house of Mrs. M. C. Dunn,
,i notorious resort in the suburbs
of Soperton, occupied by Mrs.
Dunn and three daughters. Mil
ler was in a room playing a gui
tar, when May Dunn appeared in
the door of a room across the
hall with a shotgun and ordered
Miller off the premises.
In a short time the gun fired
and Miller fell dead with the top
of his head shot off, and May
Dunn ran through the house.
Her mother ran out into the yard
and exclaimed: "Fred cussed
May and she shot him."
The young woman is in jail
here awaiting a hearing on an
appeal for a new trial.
Send In Orders Early If
You Want Any Fish
Messages from the Ogeechee
river have recently announced
that fishing is good, and forth
with a party from this place
went flown, leaving here Tues
day morning. They were fully
prepared for the sport afforded
l>.v this far-famed little stream,
and it is probable that they are
by this time gorged on red
breasts and bream —not to speak
of what will be brought home to
their friends.
The party was composed of
Messrs S. V. Hicks, W. A. Pet
erson, J. F. Currie, E. G. Smith
and D. A. Mcßae, together with
Rev. Chas. Montgomery, Dr, E.
M Rack ley and Dr. J. E. Hunt.
All are experts (around here)
arid it is possible that the Ogee

reason of their visit. One mem-

Jubiice vs. Chivalry
In Florida a few weeks ago a
woman who killed a man was
sentenced to hang for the crime.
At Mt. Vernon, in this state, a
1 young woman was found guilty
Saturday night of deliberately
killing a man and faces life im
pr sonment. Some juries in the
Southern States seem to be con
vinced that chivalry does not re
quire the acquittal of women
who, if they were men, would be
convicted of murder. In this
connection it is recalled that of
! the last fourteen or fifteen wo
! men tried for murder in Chicago
courts, only one was found guilty
iof that charge. It would be well
if all juries forgot the sex of the
persons whose fate they must de
termine. Surely feminists wish
them to.—Savannah News,
