WILSON’* GREAT RECORD. Commenting on the one year and half of the Wilson administration, the Buffalo Times says: M In a tenure of office which has not yet reached its ycsr and a half mile atone, here are aome of the things the Wilson administration has accom pllshcd for the American people: ‘ “A tariff framed without concession to special privilege. "A currency law under which you get your money when you need It— that prevents panics and Insures sta ble financial conditions. "An Income tax that places upon wealth a Just proportion of the cost of maintaining the federal govern ment. "A revision of the rules of business without the usual and heretofore In evitable panic. "Refutation of the oft-repeated taunts that the Democratic party had not capacity for solving questions en quiring constructive treatment. Wit ness the currency, tariff, Income tax and other legislation that not only ceived the votes of Democrats but the votes of many Republicans and Dull Moosers aa well In both the Senate and house. "A firm foreign policy which pro* vented war and made possible untold loss of lives, the demoralization of business and a staggering war debt. "An atbitratlon act providing for conciliation In the controversy tween labor and capital, and which has already been successfully employed In preventing great strikes that would bare tied up the entlro railway busi ness of the nation. "Enlargement of tho scope of the parcel poet, which has reduced the coat of transportation and bccomo a lasting and convenient instrument of benefit to the consumer and producer. "The President has worked untir ingly and with a sincerity enobllng to our political life for what he consld ered the bea) Interests of mankind. He has worked unceasingly and with out vacation—day In and day out— for the rank and file of the public and not for any clique or group. He has worked for peace—peace at home aa well aa peace abroad The record made by Woodrow Wil son In the first year and a half of his administration Is without parallel in any similar period In the entire his tory of the nation."—Macon Nows. HAVE YOL'R MONEY. Make a dime look like a tiny farm, and you will not be so wasteful of the little silver representatives of the price of a cool drink! Make U look like a farm? Yes, with bit of arithmetic like this: Suppose, Just for easy figuring some good farm ing land' is worth $100 an acre. A square rod, then, Is worth only a dol lar; and yen cents worth will be a little more than twenty-seven square feet, or a little farm slightly more than five feet on a side.. For a dime, then, a person could buy lund enough to make a little gar- And yet, think of the dimes that arc thrown away every day for things I ycar *‘ that are sometimes harmful. We si of boys and girls In Miami who are qulrlng deplorable habits—boys and girls starting on a course that Is, in more than one case, to establish them dope fiends and inebriates, simply because they have dimes to spend and no intelligence to guide their spending. Thrift, after all, is a great thing and may be so far removed from penu ry an to have none of the latter’s at tributes; and the best time for people to learn of thrirt Is In their youth. Suppose the dime-apenders In Mia mi should consider each bit of silver possible tiny farm; suppose that in- stead of squandering money, dime- apenders should endeavor to under stand the actual value of a dime measured In the minds of those who have suffered dire poverty; money- saving Is largely a matter of intelll genre and should be more of than it is In Miami.—Miami Metropolis. The advise given the Miami people ahould receive careful consideration by everybody. It Is a known fact that once the habit of saving Is formed you soon become independent—you get ahead in the world. And In saving every little bit helps. Macon convention will live to regret their actions of today.

As the Journal aald a few weeks ago there la no ground for HARD TIME8 TALK In Waycroaa. Waycross la In better ahape finan cially today than It baa been for aev eral years. We do not say this Just for effaot, but actually believe it. In fact know It and can prove It. Waycroaa dependa largely upon pay rolls, and with the exception of car penters, brick layers and painters, there are Juat aa many men on pay rolls today aa ever before In the his tory of the city, and at wages Just aa high. An employe of the city informs us tbat he goes Into every section of the city collecting sanitary tax. and tbat it is bis boa cat opinion tbat the citizens of Waycroaa, aa a whole, were never In better ahape than at the present time. When arked about the number of men out of employ* went he said: "I find very few men out of employment excepting carpen tors and brick layers. The colored population who want to work arc all employed at from $1.24 to $1.50 day. Daring the past few days there have been several parties in Way- cross looking for hands. The Coast Line shop la working Juat aa many men aa uaua) on Juat aa long hours, and at high wages." -- This statement goes to show that HARD TIME8 DO NOT EXIST IN WAYCROSS. and that talk to the con tiury is Idle and should not be in dulged la by our people.

Pew people came to Waycross on tbs last excursion because real estate men In other sections took advantage of the opportunity and loaded down the Atlanta office of tho A. B. with advertising matter. Moultrie and several other places went so far as to send delegations to Atlanta in order to talk to the people before buying their tickets. Waycross should do likewis# the next time North Georgia people come to 8outh Georgia by train Rt'ftHIAH ARMY. Have you stopped to think how big an army Russia Is sending to German frontier? If you have not here are a few facts that show how gigantic it Is. The Russian army that Is being rushed to the German frontier con sists of 8.000.000 men. If these men were to be transplant ed to the United 8tates, and were formed In marching line five abreast, they would roach from New York to Chicago. If the men were strung out tingle 8!t at a distance of 1$ feet apart, the line would heach entirely around the wortd at the equator. This grest army contains a number equal to the entire population of Nor way and Sweden combined. It contains a number equal to one twelfth of the entire population of the United States, It contains twice as many hnman beings as lived la Ohio when the last cearas was taken In 1110. It Is $0 times as large as the Unit ed 8tates army can lawfully be ia time of peace. A lot of people are wondering what Roosevelt would do if he were Presi dent. 8o far as the war Is concerned he would do nothing.

London, Aug. 31.—The official in formation bureau announces that Apia, a seaport of Upolu, Samoan islands and capital of the German part of the group, surrendered on the morning ol Aug. 29 to a British force from New Zeland. MYSTERY OF DEAD WOMAN UNSOLVED Attanta, Sept. 2.—The Atlanta po lice are‘complete!y baffled by the lat- •st murder mystery to develop here, hat of the discovery of the body of young woman, almost nude, In the mouth of one of the trunk sewers ol the city. Although several apparent clews to the identity of the woman have been run down they have thrown no light on the mystery. The body was found Saturday night by a switchman on passing freight train. Although the body was In an advanced stage of de composition, well maniucured hand* and delicate features Indicated that she was a woman of refinement, and the few thin garments which partly clothed the body were of good qual ity. Two theories have been advanced account for the location body In the lonely spot beyond Pled* mout Park. One Is that she was kill -h! in the residence section of the city, her body dropped through manhole Into the sewer and w washed to the mouth of U by un usually heavy rains. The other that she waa brought to the top of (ho embankment In an automobile or carriage, and the b<hD thrown to the rocks below. \ It was at first thought the woman waa a Mlsa Vera Maccy, who had been missing from Atlanta for two or three weeks, but Miss Macey has been found by the Investigators In Decatur. Ala. Tho only other woman reported missing to the police is Mrs. Lillie Garner, who left home about three weeks ago, but the body does not answer her description. A small army of detectives and newspaper re porters are at work on the mystery. FORMAL NOTICE TO Paris, 8epL 1.—The decree issued by the military governor ordering nil residents of the district within nc tion of the city’s defending forts to evacuate and destroy their houi within four days from yesterday was formal notice to inhabitants of th* military tone, although army engi neers recently made n tour of the environs of the forts and explained that tenants might he called on to destroy property that waa deemed an obstruction.

Crawley of Waycross have started movement Jor aiding farmers of this section who have cotton they desire to hold for better prices. Under the new currency law na tional banks are permitted to ad vance money on warehouse certifi cates, not only for cotton but tobac co. It is proposed to erect a ware house here large enough to store at least 2,000 bales, and through the FTrst National Bank, of which Mr Cooper Is president, get sufficient money from the government to ad vance to the farmers who bring their 1 cotton to Waycross. Ware Is not the only county inter ested in this movement as there are several adjoining counties without national banks. All of these counties can be served by the Waycross insti tution and it is possible that suffi cient interest will be aroused to cause a much larger warehouse to be erected. The site secured for the warehouse SAVES LIFE OF HIS FATHER AS is on Albany avenue just across the street from the old car factory site. Communications with brick and oth er material men have convinced Mr. Cooper that no time will be lost In getting material on the ground.

The younger Music grabbed the gun after it had been discharged anJ struck the negro across the head with It. The negro got away, after threat ening young Music with a knife, but was caught an hour later not far from the scene of the attempted kill ing.

Under exlsiting conditions, potash either muriate or sulphate, can nor be readily obtained One may use acid phosphate and cotton meal latter contains two and a half per cent of phos acid, seven per cent of nitrogen and one and one-half per cent of potash. A fertilizer mixture for snap beans, for example, would be compos ed as -follows: 875 pounds of acid phosphate, 250 pounds of cotton meal and 300 pounds of muriate of potash. This would be used on tile basis of 500 lbs. per acre. But the muriate is probably not available so you would be compelled to trust to cotton meal for the small quantity of potash it carries. Beans require a very small per centum of nitrogen. Resort to mother wit. Use stable manure and (lightly) the waste found in the poultry house. Keep tho soil, 1 mother' in the space between rows of what ever vegetable, you cultivate, con stantly stirred to the depth of three inches. This will give all the culti vation necessary after the first round with the hoe and rake. By that pro- ““ evaporation will be prevented.
