Miss Pleasant Stovall
to be Red Cross Nurse.
Savannah, Ga., Get. 24.—Ad
vices received in Savannah today
from Berne, Switzerland, state
that Miss Pleasant Stovall,
daughter of Pleasant A. Stovall,
American misister to Switzer
land, is now studying to prepare
herself for Red Cross work in
Europe. She will probably go to
the front. All the young girls
and women in Berne and in the
principal capitals are enlisting
for the service, it is stated.
Holding Cotton.
We are all very busy now gath
ering our crops and trying to
keep from buying anything un
less we sell something to pay for
it at buying time.
The cotton will soon be gather
ed. Peas and peavine hay are
also receiving their just share of
attention. Corn will come next,
and then sugar cane, sweet pota
toes. The ‘ boss” is planning to
save all cane fodder and tops for
roughage for the stock this win
ter.
It seems that our flock of chick
ens and cows realize that we are
needing their produce, for we
have never had so many eggs to
sell in the fall, and the price so
good, too. And the rich, yellow
butter and good milk makes one
feel that life is worth living. We
will have hogs enough to make
our meat and lard for another
year. The high price of sugar
has not bothei'ed this family, as
we already had plenty of sugar
cane syrup, and can get along
nicely without sugar.
As to clothes, we will just get
what we really need. All thej
old clothes have been inspected
and some can be cleaned and
pressed, some ripped up and cut
down for the children, and some
dyed and combined with other
old cloth and made to look like
new.
The farmers here, that can, are
holding their cotton at home.
The ones who owe their merchant
and cannot borrow? the money to
pay are letting the merchant
have it on consignment. I do
not think there has been a bale
bought in our little town, which
usually buys something like two
thousand bales. Thus we see the
farmers are holding out for their
rights—doing without luxuries
and buying only necessities,
which would be the best plan if
we had never heard of war.—

Ruralist.
Prices for Cottonseed.
Something must be wrong
somewhere about the prices paid
for cottonseed. We can under
stand why prices for cotton lint
should be jeopardized abroad, but
why prices for cottonseed should
take the tumble they have can
not be explained that way. A
year ago it was not unusual that
a farmer received $26 to S2B a
ton for seed. Now prices have
been cut just in half and yet the
demand for cottonseed meal,
both for fertilizers and feed, wms
never so great as this year.
All kinds of feed are high in
price and cottonseed meal should
be in demand as never before.
Hence the cottonseed should be
worth close to the •+200,000,000
mark. Cottonseed is worth as
much this year as ever for feed
and fertilizer, and while exports
will be stopped to a certain ex
tent, the home demands should
be so great as to take care of
this surplus heretofore going
abroad. —Southern Farming.
How the War Helps

the big packers alone, three

Youth, 19, to Hang for
Slaying Police Chief.
Ocilla, Oct. 22.—Charles Gra
ham, 19 years old, today was sen
tenced by Judge W. F. George,
in Irwin Superior Court, to hang
November 20 for the murder of
Lawrence Newbern, chief of po
lice of Broxton. He was convict
ed yesterday, after the jury had
been out twenty hours.
The case was transferred from
Coffee Superior Court on change
of venue.
Kill Bill Reducing
1915 Cotton Acreage.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 24. — Pro
posed legislation to reduce cotton
acreage in Texas next year was
killed in the Legislature last
night when the House defeated
this measure 84 to 12. The bill
would have made it a felony to
raise cotton in excess of a fixed
percentage of this year’s crop by
acreage. This percentage ac
cording to amendments offered at
various times, ranged from 25 to
50 per cent. The House still has
before it a proposal to recommend
voluntary acreage cotton reduc
tion.
Strictly Logical.
The Evening Post Saturday
Magazine tells us that Professor
Sudbury, who w'as extremely
nearsighted, went to the barber’s,
sat down in the barber’s chair,
took off his glasses, and desired
to be shaved.
When the “artist” was done
with him, he did not move, and
for a time no one disturbed him.
But other customers began to ar
rive, and the chair was needed.
The head barber, suspecting that
his learned patron had fallen
asleep, asked the boy to wake
him. The professor overheard
the order.
“No, my good man,” he said,
“I am not asleep. The fact is, I
am frightfully nearsighted.
Wh >n I took my glasses off, I
was no longer able to see myself
in the mirror opposite. Naturally,
I supposed I had already gone
home. ’ ’
Bee Business Buzzing.
Georgia bee-keepers have just
completed gathering the 1914
honey crop. According to the
Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
United States Department of Ag
riculture, the yield per colony of
bees was 30 pounds. In 1913 the
production per hive was also 30
pounds.
The latest census figures of the
bee and honey industry of this
state relate to 1910. That year
there were 23,167 farms in Geor
gia that kept bees and the total
number of colonies was 130,549.
Must Have Evidence.
“I tel! you, Jack,” said the
enthusiast in the Berliner Zei
tung, “I have a new car that is
wonderful ! It runs so smoothly
that you can’t feel it; it makes
no noise at all. and there is no
smell of gasoline ! And speed !
Why, it goes so fast that you
can’t see it!”
“Indeed !” replied his friend.
“You can’t feel it, hear it, smell
it, or see it? How under the sun
do you know you’ve got a car,
then?”
