I have met with many Alabama far mers who have tested the Williamson I method, and I have vet to see the far-1 mer who lives on (he farm and who lias givon the method a fair test, who has not been impressed with the splen did. and in many eases marvelous re sults obtained front it. W. II. Sey mour. Do not use any fertilizer before plant ing; but apply fertilizer later as di- reeted. Do not plow bind when it is wet; this rule should he observed at all times, and not only in the preparti tion of tin land hut in the planting and I Salt Lat the cultivating of the crop. Break land as it may requir the winter. It should lie broken deep, but not more than one-fourth deeper than land has been broken before. Still' land requires more breaking and subsoiling than light, sandy lands. Break out balk with six-inch shovel or scooter, and if day or still - land, follow deep in same furio v with a of fertilizers best adapted to one’s lands and from which the best returns can be obtained. As soon as the last middles above re ferred to are broken out, go back to first middles as soon as possible and sow half of nitrate of soda in sweep furrows next to corn and cover as fast as sown with one round of turn plow shallow. Then sow peas broadcast in this middle at rate of a bushel per acre, and cover by breaking out mid dles shallow. A few days later treat other middle same way, which lays by corn on light bed with dirt around the roots, before hardly bunching for taB- sel. Lay by early. More corn is ruined by late plowing than by lack of plowing. For a 25-40 bushel yield, 75 pounds of nitrate of soda is recommended; for a 40-60 bushel yield, 125 pounds. The fertilizer recommended by the Williamson method serves a dual pur pose. The corn takes what it requires for ear-making, and what is left as sists in the production of a luxuriant crop of peas, which, after the peas are gathered, is estimated to he worth to the land in humus, nitrogen, etc., not less than $10 per acre. After Life of Presidents. Derail!. narrow plow Ridge on the furrow with olio round of same narrow plow, or, if land is cold or low, a larger plow may ho used, making a higher and broader ridge. Plant in ridge twice as thick as corn is in lie left, one grain in a hill, and cover shallow, not over an inch and a quarter deep, if early. If | planting for a 25-10 bushel yield, corn should lie from 111 to 20 inches in drill j after being thinned, and therefore com should lie planted from eight to ten inches in drill, one grain to the hill. If planting for a 10 bushel yield, corn should he left from I I to 1(1 inches in drill after being thinned, therefore should be planted from seven to eight inches in drill, a grain to the hill. It will make the corn easier to work | if a wide shovel is run deep in the cen- j ter or middle (or lied) before corn is planted, and it will also keep much water from running down on corn. Throw two furrows with turn plow on this shove] furrrow when convenient, and two more just before the second working. Plant just as early as seasons and the nature of land will permit, and only when soil is in good condition. When corn lirst needs work, run on both sides with narrow or small plow. If harrow is used take out center tooth and let it straddle the corn. When corn is about eight inches high, give second working by running round it on both sides with ten-inch | sweep, set on point, if on sandy but with shovel if on still" land. President Roosevelt retires from iiis during exalted office while comparatively a i young man and doubtless looks forward to a longer lease of life than has fallen | to the lot of a majority of retiring Presidents. John Adams, tne second | President, lived over a quarter of a cen tury after laying down the cares of of- | fice, but the average period of life of the Presidents after retirement is only twelve years and ten months. The list follows: George Washington lived two years and nine months after retirement. John Adams lived twenty-live years and three months. Thomas Jefferson lived seventeen years and three months. James Madison lived nineteen years and three months. James Monroe lived six years and four months. John Quincy Adams lived nineteen years, and served in the House of Rep resentatives. Andrew Jackson lived eight years and three months. Martin Van Huron lived twenty-one years and four months. William Henry Harrison died precise ly one month after his inauguration, April 4, 1841. John Tyler lived seventeen years af ter his retirement. James K. Polk lived three months. Zachary Taylor died in office sixteen months after inauguration. Millard Filmoro lived twenty-one years after his retirement. Franklin Pierce lived twelve years and seven months. | James Buchanan lived six years and ! eleven months. | Abraham Lincoln died in office. ) Andrew Johnson lived six years and ! four months after retirement, and served a portion of a term in the Uni- land, ■ tec * states Senate. Thin ] now. Leave second working furrows open J and do not work corn again until it is | so stunted ns to prevent its ever grow-1 ing larger than is necessary to make i what corn the land is able to produce. This does not mean that corn should he i left to die, but that it should he com pelled to use its energy in ear-making and not allowed to waste in stulk-mak-' ing. On poor or cold land ten to - twelve days may be enough, while rich soil may take twice as long. When you think corn has stood long enough, apply one-half of mixed fer tilizer in the open furrows, next to corn, of every other middle, and cov er by breaking out tins middle with turn plow. Side corn in this middle at once with 16-inch scrape, pushing dirt around it and covering any grass turn plow has left. Corn should now be about knee high. Within a week give other middle same treatment. On sandy soil for a 25-40 bushel yield a mixed fertilizer consisting of 100 pounds acid phosphate, 100 pounds cotton seed meal and 200 pounds of kainit per acre is recommended, and of 40-60 bushel yield double the count. Clay land is said to require more phos phoric acid and less potash. However, it is only by experience that one can definitely ascertain the kind and amount and U. S. Grant lived eight years four months after retirement. Rutherford B. Hayes lived eleven years and eleven monhs. James A. Garfield died four months after his inauguration. Chester A. Arthur survived one year and eight months after retirement. Grover Cleveland lived ten years and seven months. Benjamin Harrison lived eight years. William McKinley died in office. Only two of Mr. Roosevelt’s prede cessors returned to public life, John Quincy Adams dying while a member of the House of Representatives, and Andrew Johnson passed away while United States Senator. Mr. Roosevelt may also return to Washington as a Senator, but whether he does or not the people of the country, regardless of politics or religion, will wish him a lease of life far beyond the threescore and ten allotted to mankind. “Sir!” said the young woman with what seemed to be indignation. The young man looked embarrassed. “Yes, 1 did kiss you," he admitted, “but 1 was impulsively insane.” j “That means that a man would be a i lunatic to kiss me?” "Well, any man of discretion would ! be just crazy to kiss you.” This seemed to ease the strain, and no jury being present to muddle affairs a satisfactory verdict was reached.

Chicago Tribune. Among the dictionary definitions of jealousy is that of envy. True, anoth er is zealous watchfulness, but this state of mind implies fear, the uneasi ness of uncertainty, and this is incom patible with the perfect love which casteth out fear. As associated with love the word implies a dread of losing the thing desired—a state of mind which to the timid perhaps is natural and well-nigh inevitable in the first stages of courtship. The man who is seeking to win a woman and who has rivals in the field has a strain upon his nerves and emotions which upsets his normal bal ance. He becomes worried, fanciful and moody. The woman who is already won, but who must conceal her feelings until the victor chooses to claim his con quest, scarcely can fail to be restless, capricious and nervous. This mainly is due to the restraint which she is put ting upon herself and the haunting fear that he may be in love with some one else. But when the lover has spoken and each holds the plighted troth of the be loved, then jealousy even in its most amiable form involves a lack of faith in the truth and sincerity of the be loved which is anything but compli mentary. Whatever its cause, jealousy is bound to be a disturbing element, and the less indulged in the better. Always the expression of it is more harmful than helpful. There is a great deal of truth in the doctrine of mental sug gestion as applied to love, and this es pecially is the case with men. The jealous woman hates to hear other women praised, and though she possibly may remark upon their good qualities herseH, she objects when one of her own admirers, however faintly, expresses admiration for another wo man. And when she praises it is with a reservation, “She is pretty, but, etc.” Jealousy is responsible for more broken engagements, more matrimo nial unhappiness, than any other cause, with the possible exception of beastly intemperance in drink. Yet people who ought to know better goon excusing it, claiming that it is the result of love and the natural outcome of an humble opinion of one’s self, instead of being, as in nearly all cases it is, the result of colossal vanity vanity which is ex asperated at the thought of precedence given to another. The man or woman whose tempera ment will allow him os* her to pass through life superior to the pangs of jealousy has cause to be thankful. It is wise to remember the saying of the Greek sage that “what is worthy of jealousy ia not worthy of love.” How Ham Lewis Goi Even. Washington Herald. This little matter of educational qualification reminds one of the days when J. Ham Lewis, of the great Northwest and elsewhere, was a cub member of the House. Because J. Ham did not make an ostentatious dis play of a seedy sack coat and baggy trousers, and manifested some regard for the niceties of dress, his vociferous confreres became imbued with the idea that he was an inoffensive Willie child, and legitimate game for their wire- edged quips. Later the starch was re moved from this assumption with rare neatness and dispatch. After having served as the butt of their humor for a few weeks, J. Ham arose in his place one day and submit ted some remaks. For the first few minutes his observations were in the vernacular and fluently impersonal, but he soon switched off into classical abstracts from the dead languages. Walking up to first one find another of his late tormentors, he shook his sinuous index finger in their faces and poured forth a torrent of Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Sanscrit, intermixed with swift t\nd copious bunches of polyglot, and wound up with an apostrophe in Arabic which would have caused a school of languages to resemble three dimes. What it was all about the objects of the outburst could not imagine. They didn’t know whether they were being complimented or grossly insulted, and therefore didn’t know whether to re sent it or not. All that could be done under the circumstances was to smile feebly and say nothing. Meanwhile the official reporters were dying off in various secluded places from broken hearts. Whatever it all meant nobody ever knew, but never thereafter was J. Ham treated with anything but the most scrupulous courtesy. Members walked around him gingerly for fear that they might jar him into action again, and only tne ribald press allud ed from a safe distance to his pink whiskers. 9$ Only Exclusive Buggy Depository in Newnn!

JACK POWELL, d2 Spring Street, ONLY EXCLUSIVE BUGGY AND WAGON REPOSITORY IN NEWNAN. ** Ml A# 'IsK Rats Aboard Ship. Philadelphia Tunes. The executive officer and his col leagues were talking of the old saying that rats desert a sinking ship. “Rats play an important part in a seaman’s life,” said one of the officers. No submarine would put to sea with out a cage of white mice. “Y'ou see, they detect in a minute if the air is not pure. Noxious gases mean their death, and when they begin to show signs of exhaustion or spasms the men know that the oxygen is being used or that carbonic acid gas is in She air. “You see, if a leakage of any kind in the mechanism or gasoline tanks occurs, this gas is noticeable to. the mice and it can at once be stopped; but if they waited until the men noticed it the crew would be suffocated before they could get the boat up to the air.” A fool woman is one who can make her own living but marries a man who can’t make it for her.
