Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.— Hundreds of Georgia farmers who have followed the advice given last year by Commissioner of Agriculture J. D. Price, and planted wheat, are now rejoicing in their good fortune, for the price of wheat has gone soaring, and the demand for it is going to continue. Those who planted wheat will make a hi ndsome profit. ‘‘Now 1 want to warn the farmers of Georgia against being misled by the re cent rise in cotton,” said Commissioner Price to-day. ‘‘Don’t plant c-tton to the exclusion of home supplies and food products. If you do, you will bring about tho same depressing situa tion next fall and winter with which you have just had to contend. Don’t let this rise in the price of cotton influ ence you one whit. Food prices are up, and they are going to continue to be high. Besides, with a reduced acreage in cotion, the farmers of Georgia will get just us much money for it as they would if they made the mistake of planting again like they did last year; and they will have the food crops in ad dition. The Department is going to cm- Dloy an expert market man this spring and summer to travel continually over the State, from county to county, for the purpose of bringing the dealer and farmer in closer touch, so as to find a ready market for all tho produce the farmer raises. He will help in every way possible except to make actual trades, and any county desiring it may have his services upon request.” Commissioner Price has just received a letter from B. H. Groover, cashier of the Tattnall Barilc, of Reidsville, in which Mr. Groover urges closer co-op eration between the banker and the merchant on the one hand, and the far mer on the other, in finding ready mar kets fo* all food products of the farm. Mr. Groover says the country bunks should extend reasonable credit facili ties to the country merchant to enuble the latter to promptly handle the far mer's produce and get it to the consu mer. It is also suggested that the city bank and the city merchant can be of material assistance in this work. Com missioner Price indorses the plan as a good one, and expresses the belief that this co-operation will be forthcoming when needed. •'Cold storage” eggs will no longer compete in Georgia .with the fresh product of the hen’s industry direct from the farm. Thousands of dozens of cold storage eggs have lately been sold in the Slate as “fresh selected eggs,” when the “fresh selection” was only from co’d storage plants. Commissioner Price has just is sued a ruling, under the Pure Food Law, that hereafter all cold storage eggs must be plainly branded “cold storage” on the package or container in which they are offered. The consu mer has only to look at the pack ige to see what he is getting. It is new a mis demeanor, punishable by fine or impris onment, or both, to sell cold storage eggs without branding them as re quired. “Put your spare acres in peas or oth er leguminous crops,” urges Commis sioner Price to the Georgia farmer. "It will beat cotton all to pieces this year,” hesaya. The Slate Department of Agri culture is now prepared to furnish Georgia farmers with the nitrogen bac teria inoculant for leguminous crops at 25 cents per acre, or actual cost, where they have heretofore been paying pri vate; parties from $1.75 to $2 per acre. This inoculin makes these crops grow is A Touching Incident. One beautiful evening in the summer of 1SS1 a party of Northern tourists formed part of a large company gath ered on the deck of an excursion steam er sailing down the Potomac. A gen tleman who has since gained national reputation as a singer-evangelist had been delighting the party with his hap py rendering of familiar hymns, the last being that petition so dear to ev ery Christian heart, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” The singer gave the first two verses with such feeling and em phasis as thrilled every heart. A hush had fallen on the listeners, which was not broken until a gentleman made his way to the side of the singer and said; “Beg your pardon, stranger, but were you engaged in the late war?” “Yes, Bir,” the man of song an swered. “1 fought under Gen. Grant.” ”1 did my fighting on the other aide,” continued the first speaker, ‘‘and am quite sure I was very near you one bright night, eighteen years ago this month. It was much such a night os this. If I am not mistaken you were on guard duty. We of the South had duty on hand, and you were the enemy. I was selected by tho commander, be cause I had a reputation as a ‘sureshot,’ to creep near your post of duly. The shadow's hid me. My weapon was in my hand.

I could not fire after that, and there was no attack made on your camp that night. 1 felt sure when 1 heard you sing this evening that; you were the man whose life I was spared from tilting.” The singer grasped the hand of the Southerner and said with much emo tion: “I remember the night very well, and remember distinctly the feeling of de pression and loneliness with which 1 went forth to my duty. I knew my post was one of great danger. 1 was more dejected than I remember to have been at any time during the service. I paced my lonely heat, thinking of home and friends, and all that life holds dear. Then tho thought of God’s care for all He hud created came to me with pecu liar force. If He so cares for the spar row, how much more for man, created in His own image; and I sung the prayer of my heart and ceased to be alone. How the prayer was answered 1 never knew until this evening. My Heavenly Fath er thought best to keep the knowledge of it from me for eighteen years.

He Beat “De Dawgs.” Saturday Evening Post. A certain Savannah lawyer was reared on a Georgia plantation. Ah he tells it, a group of the younger darkies on the place went coon hunting one night and took with them Uncle Isom, who was nearly 80 years old, and crip pled with rheumatism besides. The dogs treed some animal in a big tree on the edge of a swamp 5 miles from home; hut when the tree tell there rolled out of the top of it, not a coon but a full-grown black bear, full of fight and long, sharp claws. The dogs gave one howl of fear and streaked away, yelping as they went; and the two-legged hunters followed, fleeing as fast as their legs would car ry them. When they came to a moonlit place in the woods they discovered that Un cle Isom was missing; but they did not go back to look for him—they did not even check up. ‘‘here ole Unc’ Iaorn!” bemoaned one of the fugitives, between pants. "His ole laigs must V give out on him befo’ he went ten jumps. I reckin dat bear's chawin’ on his bones right dis minute.” “D.it's so! Dat’s so!” grunted the others. “Pore Unc' Isom!'' When they reached the safety of the plantation in an exhausted stale they limped to Uncle Isom's cottage to break the news to the widow. There was a light in the window; and when they rapped at the door, and it opened, the sight of the person who faced them across the threshold made the young ru groes gar.p. “Ilefo' de Lawd!” exclaimed one of them. “How <hd you git beah?” “M ?” said Uncle bom. calmly. “I come ’long wid de dawgs.” Five Cents Proves It.

Frank is given his freedom by the United States Supreme Court, will he be prosecuted in the Fulton Supe rior Courts on another charge? The question is taking on wide signifi cance now because of the rumor cur rent in court circles that, in the event Frank is liberated on the habeas corpus appeal, Solicitor Dorsey and his asso ciates will make a strong effort to have him indicted before the grand jury on one of two charges—rape or perver sion. The report has reached such a point that there is widespread speculation upon it wherever attorneys gather, it is generally acknowledged that the pris oner can he legally arruigned a second time if either of the rumored charges art 1 brought against him. The probability is made even more ap parent by the attitude of Solicitor Dor sey. Although non-committal, he de clared thnt the State was determined to fight the Frank case to the end. He likewise made this additional state ment: "I do not care, however, to anticipate what may be done by the State should Frank bo liberated eventually in the proceedings now before the United States Supreme Court. “As to what can he done, so far ns I know, there is no law which would pre vent action being taken against him on either the charge of rape or perver sion. 1 ’ He would neither deny nor affirm the report, however, that the prosecution had already determined to take such steps against the convicted man if the United States courts interposed. The reticence of Bat Campbell and John Starnes, the police headquarters detectives who were named in tho bill of indictment as prosecutors of Frank for Mary Phagan’a murder, lends many to attach credence to the report. When asked if they had contemplated further prosecution of Frank if he obtained his freedom, they declined to express them selves one way or tho other. That Frank can he brought before the courts on either of tho two above named charges wns admitted by Attor ney Reuben Arnold, associate counsel for Frank's defense and one of the principals in the famous trial. Like Mr. DorHey, he declared that there was no way of preventing action on these grounds. The plea of former jeopardy, he said, would bo of no avuil. A new charge, in such circumstances, would have to be similar to the one on which he was convicted before a plea of former jeop ardy could be instituted. Ships Are Lacking to Carry Exports. Washington, Feb. 7. —Secretary Mc- Adoo to-night made public telegrams from the New York, Baltimore and Norfolk customs collectors telling of great congestion of freight because of lack of ocean-going transportation. Dudley Field Malone, the New York collector, told of unusual congestion, particularly with respect to grain. “Ex planation of this congestion,” ho re ported, “is that export movement can not be effected because of shortage of tonnage.” 'Ihe congestion applied to warehouse elevators as well as cars and lighters, he added, but no marked con gestion of coastwise trade was discern ible. Collector Ryan, at Baltimore, re ported that the Pennsylvania railroad had placed an embargo on grain con signed for export there. The elevators, he said, were loaded to capacity and there were 4,200,000 bushels of grain on the railroad tracks awaiting removal. Otherwise, conditions at Baltimore were normal, Mr. Ryan said. Collector Hamilton, at Norfolk, re ported much congestion of merchandise consigned to both coastwise and foreign dost inations. “There are in warehouses and under sheds at Norfolk at the present time,” he reported, ”85,556 hales of cotton, valued in Germany at $5,476,160. There is great congestion in warehouses, un der sheds and on ears of general export merchandise freight, consisting princi pally of tobacco, lumber, flour, cotton seed oil, etc. The congestion has become r,o great that iri some instances foreign lines, thougli sending out more general cargo Bhips wiLhin an immediate week for Glasgow, Liverpool and London than for any combined period of three months, have been compelled to refuse offered shipments.

To the Young Man. Kurily Mountain Educator. Young man, I notice that you are not in school any more. What’s the mat ter? Think you have received enough education to cariy you through the world? Or do you stay nut just be cause you do not like to go? Didn't like the teacher, eh? Well, let me tell you, you will find the meanest teacher on earth a dream of love beside some of the bosses you will work under in the cold, unfeeling years you will plow into when you have to hustle for yourself. Education is the moHt valuable thing in the world to a man, but to a boy it comes the cheapest. It costs nothing now to get that which many a man would give all he has to possess. You have ihe winning number in the lottery of education, if you play it now. Loaf around a few years and you will draw a blank. It is true, any man can make a living, but you will notice that the fellows who aid with their brains have an easier time of it than those who are compelled to uro only their muscles. At the present stage of the game the choice jobs are not held by physical strength. Education will not crawl i nto your head while you sleep. The thing for you to do is to hike off to school to-morrow morning and stay there. Your holidays will come later when you need them. ■ - ♦ And She Took the Hint. Tit Dlls. At the “home stations” of the Brit ish army the private soldiers’ washing is usually done by the married soldiers’ wives, who are expected to sew on missing buttons amtmake other repairs, for whicn a small sum is deducted from the private’s pay. Bat McGinnis hud had a good deal of trouble with his laundress. Sunday after Sunduy half bis shirts came buck with the neck button lacking or only hanging by a thread. He had spoken about the matter and the woman had promised to see to it, but still the but ton was not properly fixed. He got out of patience one day when the missing button had made him late for parade. “Bother the woman!” he said. “I’ll see if 1 can’t give her a a hint this time, anyhow.” Taking the lid of a tin blacking box, about three inches in diameter, he punched two holes in it and sewed it on to the neck of the shirt that was next to be washed. When his washing came buck he found she hud taken the hint— or part of it. She had made a button hole to fit the lid.
