INDEPENDENT OF WAR CONDITIONS Live at Home and Would not Know it But for Newspapers. .She was the wife* of a Monroe county fanner. Ir< reply to a question as to whether she was disturbed about the war across the water, she replied: “Why, if I didn’t see it in the papers, I really wouldn’t know that the war wa going on. It hasn’t affected us one particle. We raise our own meat, don’t have to buy any lard, we’ve plenty of fruit in the orchard, even now, and have an abundance of vege tables in the pardon we’ve raised enough oats and corn and forage for the stock, we’ve ground our own meal and have flour from our own wheat; indeed, we have learned to live at home and since we’ve had to buy noth ing in the way of food, how could the war afTect us?” Os course, there are not as many of the “live at home” farmers in this county as there should be. Hut the idea is dawning on the peo ple that the ones who are not dis turbed by the war and the conse quent economic changes are those who are prepared.—Monroe Ad vertiser. Lived Almost a Hundred.

Quitman, Ga., Oct. 16. There is one farmer in Brooks county who says his winter cabbage crop is about the biggest .item in his farm profits and he esteems it more highly than his cotton crop. This is A. J. Powell of Dixie, who is probably the pioneer truck farmer of the county. He has raising cabbage along with other truck crops for the past fifteen years. This fall he has planted ten acres in cabbage, nearly doubling his usual acreage be cause he had a great many more orders last season than he could fill. After gathering his cabbage crop in the spring, Mr. Powell plants cotton on the land without using any more fertilizer and makes one bale to the acre. His usual plan is to plant oats on the land one fall, the next fall he plants cabbage and follows with cotton in the spring. He rotates his crops and does not use the same land again for cabbage in side of two years on account of the insect pests.

Cousins, a locomotive engineer, in the employ of the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway, has been awarded damamages of $3,800 against the Clinchfield lodge of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers at Erwin, Tenn., as the result of a suit in the Federal Court at Greenville, Term., near here. Cousins, it appears from evi dence adduced, had been accused in correspondence by an officer of the Clinchfield lodge of having negro blood, and for this reason officers of the lodge demanded that he be removed from a pre ferred to a nonpreferred run. The railway company, it is stated, complied with the demands of the lodge, and this led to a suit for damages. The jury decided that Cousins was white and ren dered its verdict for libel accord ingly. Cousins sued for $15,000. Use of Wireless has Saved Many Lives. Washington, I)., C. Oct. 15. — Aid rendered by the federal ra dio service to American ships which met with accident or dis aster during the past fiscal year resulted, with hut one exception, in the loss of only two lives. The exception was the Lusitania, which was torpedoed by a Ger man submarine. Reports to the bureau of navi gation show that twenty-six ves sels left American ports and re el uired the use of wireless to summon help. Os that number four caught fire, twelve ran ashore, stranded, or got into an ice jam; three broke down; five were in collisions; one was storm battered or water-logged and one was torpedoed.
