2. Herald ❖ VOLUME XXVI WAYCKOSS, GA., SA4TRI?U; ~‘ Lt ' - W A R F COUNTY MORE WILL FOLLOW DECLARES ASSASSIN Man Who Killed Grand Duk« Makes Statement. OTHERS ARE DOOMED TO PERISH Claim Is M-.de that the C:«< Is a Too in the Hands of His .Relativcn Grand Duke Paul's Rank Restorec to Him by Czar. Moscow, Feb. 21.—The assassin ol Grand Duk° Sergius maintains an at titude of profound indifference. When pressed to reply to questions he declared that all the efforts of the authorities would have no result, lie fore his victim was laid under eartfc • other victims would be found, garding his motives the assassin said he only acted In the interests of op pressed people. He considered his deed was an act of duty. The grand dukes had for years violated every canon of ordinary decency and ruined the country while exploiting the weak will of the emperor for their own ends. They had made him a tyrant so that the people hate him. He was aware that the emperor was an Innocet dupe and his party had decided to deliver the emperor from the evil Influences surrounding him In the hope that he some day would Join In the movement and become the head ot a national gov ernment based on western lines. Neither the police nor the spies, the assassin said, will bo able to protect those who are doomed to death. NO PEACE OVERTURES MADE BY RUSSIANS Franco Is Hopeful That She May Be Mediator.

Baku, Caucasia, Feb. 21.—The town is panic stricken, the banks are closed and busines is suspended as a result of yesterday’s disturbances and the nu merous attacks of armed Mussulmans on Armenians, which have been going noiinced for Peace, but Minister L-amsdroff Hasn’t Made a Move. Paris, Feh. 23.—Russia has not glv en any indication to France that she is ready to take up the question of peace and therefore the authorities hero do not feel qualified to discuss the St. Petersburg reports giving tho pre cise terms. The reports are explain ed substantially as follows: ’’The public sentiment has lately been steadily augmenting throughout Russia, particularly outside of St. Pe tersburg and within recent days some of the most Influential personages in fit. Petersburg have come out favora ble to peaco and have sought to Im press responsible offliclajis that the time has arrived to take definite ac tion. However, those having the chief responsibility, such as Foreign Minis ter Lamsdorff, have not yet shown a willingness to accept peaco arguments. Therefore, so long as the Russian for eign office la not prepared to accept the peace view, it is considered doubt ful of achievement. In spite of'this, the peace reports are considered a hopeful sign of a tendency in the high est quarters toward peaco.” Tho Japanese legation polnls out that peace negotiations require certain definite steps between tho parties, and os Russia has not yet made the slight est overture to Japan concerning terms to Russia, in which position to elab orate Pacific conditions. The officials of the legation incline to the view that tho St. Petersburg reports were designed to soir official sentiment In Japan. Whar Tokiu will say is not known. •’EUKUAUY -5, DOS.

Between 1899 and 1904 the Slate rice acreago of Louisiana was in creased Irom 201.0S5 acres, a* reported by tho census, to 37G.50O acres, as now estimated by tho department of agri culture; that of Texas during tho same period from 8.711 to 234,200 acres, and tho combined acreage of the two states from 210,390 to 610,- 700 acres, m increase of upward of 190 per cent. Discovery of tho Gulf Coast Rice Belt. Undoubtedly the most important event in the history of rice production in the United States was the discovery about J885 that rice colild be profit ably grown by irrigation upon the prai rie lands -of southwestern Louisiana and southeastern Texas. The peculiar character of these lands and their adaptability to rica culture have since revolutionized the industry of rice growing and transformed this region from comparative waste and desola tion to thrift and prosperous activity. These lands, now distinctively known as the “rice belt,” extentd 20 to 90 miles in width from St. Mary’s parish westward about 210 miles along the coast of Louisiana and Texas and comprise an area of about 12,000 square miles. They are traversed by 10 navigable rivers and numerous lakes and bayous and lie from G to 38 foot above the level of the streams, Consisting of a rich dark loam, easily cultivated, their distinguishing char acteristic as compared with tho rice lands of eastern Louisiana and the Car olines is that they are underlaid with an Impervious subsoil, which permits great economy in tho use ot water, aides the fields to bo thoroughly drain ed at harvest and, most Important of all, makes possible the use of 1m proved self-binders and other modsrn agricultural machinery.

I wish to state, in the most emphatic manner, that I have not analyzed this formula, and that, according to the teritls of the formula Itself, it is impossible for It to run 10-4-4, and that Its compos!* tion Is more nearly 1-1-1. Further* more, that If the reports which X re ceived arc true, the parties selling this formula are attempting to swindle aftd deceive the agricultural public. , t do not approve of the formula. It is not scientific, and I am ready to fur nish a better formula free of all cost to any who are interested in the mak ing of compost, and who will apply to the Agricultural Department. JNO. M.
