Of The 8tate
Atlanta. — As a result of the high
prices paid, for tobacco on various
'markets through Georgia, on the open
ing day of the season, farmers of this
state who took a flyed In the crop
heretofore practically unknown In
Georgia, are highly pleased with their
venture. Record prices were reported
at some of the markets, and buyers
are highly pleased with the quality of
tobacco produced in Georgia soil.
It is expected that even higher
prices will be paid later in the season,
as the best of the tobacco crops is
not harvested during the early gath
ering and indications are that this
crop will replace others that have
proved unprofitable.
The highest average price ever paid
for tobacca on the opening day of
any market in the South, according
to Fenner and Hudson, mangers of
the Tifton tobacco warehouse at the
closing of the sales which openod the
Georgia tobacco season. The average
price paid was 33.62 cents, and the
amount of tobacco sold was 21,208
pounds.
Fancy prices prevailed throughout
the opening day at the opening sale
of tobacco on the Lyons market, the
highest price for best grades being 76
cents a pound, about 15,000 pounds
being sold at an average price of 33
cents a pound. One grower, Cosby
Smith, sold 600 pounds at an average
of 52 cents and some of his tobacco
Bold as high as 75 cents.
Forty thousand pounds of tobacco
was sold at the opening of the Valdos
ta tobacco warehouse at prices rang
ing from 20 cents to 80 cents per
pound. The bidding was spirited from
the time the sale began until its close,
with a force of buyers representing
the leading tobacco concerns of the’
country. Growers and buyers are
well pleased with the opening sale.

ever offered In Georgia. The en

nolds Ga., which was burned shortly
afterward, was returned to Taylor

termined. The negro claimed he was
employed by white men to carry the

Negro Odd Fellow Litigation Ended
Atlanta.—Litigation lasting for a
period of four years has at last come
to an end, following a disagreement,
which occurred in the negro Odd Fel
low circles in 1916 between two fac
tions for control of the district grand
lodge of Georgia. The trouble arose
in grand lodge, No. 18, when the char
ter was revoked by the sub-committee
of management, and later a receiver
was appointed by the superior court of
Fulton county for the lodge. The
case was carried to the Pennsylvania
court of corhmon pleas in 1919 and re
ceived a verdict unfavorable to the
sub-committee of management. The
case was carried to the appellate court

Ga. Peach Crop Ravaged By Worms
Macon.—While the peach growers
around Fort Valley and Marshallville
have just about given up the ghost as
far as marketing the remainder of the
peach crop for the 1920 season be
cause of brown rot and worms, which
have *- ade a great portion of the crop
unsalaole, growers in the Macon terri
tory, which includes Bibb, Jones, Jas
per, Upson and Pike counties, are not
nearly so hard hit, and packing houses
are operating full blast at the present
time. The fruit is of a totr quality
and is bringing prices, that if not fully
up to expectations of earles n the sea
son, arae nevertheless satsfactory. It
s from Fort Valley and Marshallville,
however, that the bulk of the Georgia
peach crop is shipped and as a result
of the brown rot and worms, it Is
stated that only about 1,000 cars of
Elbertas will be shipped this year,
whereas earlier predictions called for
3,000 cars. The entire Georgia peach
orop shipments this year will not total
more than 6,0400 cars, where it was
anticipoted 8,000 cars would be ship
ped. The bulk of the Elberias will be
permitted to rot on the trees in the
ort Valley belt, the worms making it
useless to pick them.

SEEM AFRAID TO BE HAPPY
So Many People Apparently Fear to
Count and Appreciate the Bless
ings That Are Theirs.
A well-menuing, if rather dour,
gentleman once said to a mother whom
he saw playing happily with her chil
dren: "Don’t set too much store on
your children, especially don’t make
idols of them, for fear they are taken
from you as a punishment"
It was good to hear the spirited re
tort of the warm-hearted little wom
an. The remembrance of It Is inspire
lug today, remarks London Answers.
“I’m going to love my children with
all the love I am capable of whilst
I have got them. If they are taken
from me, which certainly won’t be as
a ‘punishment,’ I shall be glad to re
member how very dearly I have loved
them!"
She was not afraid to be happy.
A poor fellow whose life had been
one long fight against grinding pov
erty was unexpectedly left a legacy
which quite removed him from further
want. The touch of the past, how
ever, was still upon him. He was
afraid to spend, afraid to raise his
face to the sunshine; he was afraid
to be happy. The pathos of it!
On the other hand, there are those
who, with little or nothing to worry
about, Just grizzle and grouse, till you
long to shake them—and shake them
thoroughly—because they are afraid
even to be thought happy.
Here Is a sample of a visit to one
of the "G. G.” variety:
‘What a nice bit of sunshine we’re
having just now l" you may perhaps
remark.
'‘Ay, but how long will It last?"
"Well, It’s shining now, anyway! 1
you retort, In natural exasperation at
his pessimism.
"But It’ll rain before night, see If
It doesn’t!" And so on ad lib., no
matter what subject was broached.
Of course, for lots of us some things
are pretty bud just now—It’s inevit
able, If one takes time to think. But
among It all, there are bits of happi
ness If we will only allow ourselves
to see them. The sunshine when It
does appear, the merry laugh of a
friend, a bit of luck after a hard day,
the restoration to henfth of a dear
one, the eager questionings of the
children nrislng out of their beautiful
"wonderlngs,’’ n talk with, or a letter
from a kindred spirit.
Cheerio! Don’t you be afraid to be
happy!
Peculiar Geological Formation.
There is located Immediately west
of Junction City a few miles south of
Danville, Ky., a wonderful geological
formation known os "Bald Blue
Knob.” This is a member of the
chain that branches off from the
Cumberland mountains and extends
along the route of the Knoxville divi
sion of the Louisville & Nashville
railway*
From Its foot to Its crest Is about
200 feet and except on the large flat
top, with a small knob In Its center,
It Is covered with shrubbery and vege
tation. The top, however, Is abso
lutely barren. Not a sprig of any
kind has ever grown upon If.
The soil Is ns blue as indigo and
this coloring hns never been affected
by the ravages of time. It Is be
lieved by many that this knob was
at one time a volcano, and that the
surface of the crest was belched forth
from the bowels of the enrtn.
The “Bald Blue Knob” hns been an
object of wonder for many genera
tions, nnd hundreds of visitors ascend
its steep sides each year to view Its
crown of richest azure.
Milk and Meat Prevent Pellagra.
The most recent researches tn*o pel
lagra, just published in the form of a
report from the United States public
health service, make It clear that de
ficiency of milk and fresh meat In the
diet Is the principal cause of the dis
ease.
Dr. Joseph Goldberger, to whom the
world owes most of Its knowledge of
pellagru, urges that more cows be In
troduced Into those regions of our
southern states in which pellagra Is
most prevalent, nnd that nll-the-year-
round fresh meat markets be estab
lished.
In an Awful State.
After refreshments at a card party
the topic of conversation was the con- s
dition we found our flat in when we
moved. My husband told a long com
ical story of how he spent his whole
Saturday afternoon trying to get the
kitchen floor clean. Every one laughed
with the exception of one woman, who
said: "We just moved from that flat.”
It is needless to say the color of my
husband’s face turned.—Exchange.
Eggs Miraculously Saved.
A young man at Meredith, N. H.,
making an evening call, In going
through the hall opened the cellar door
by mistake and stepped Into space,
bringing down a number of Jars of
preserved blueberries nnd landing In
a jar containing 18 dozen eggs. He
emerged scratched and covered with
blueberries, but although he weighs
200 pounds not an egg was broken.

“ Felt Like Eating”
Man and Wife, All Run-Down From Farm Work
Were Greatly Helped by Ziron
((irY WIFE and I, after a hard
ly| spring on the farm, were tired
and run-down,” says Mr. E. B.
Mulkey, of Route 1, Ac worth, Ga. “We
neither felt well. I knew my blood was
bad, as I had little boils on the back
of my neck.
“We felt we needed a builder. We
had heard of Ziron and thought It must
be what we needed. It certainly was.
We took It faithfully, and after a week
or such matter we began to feel bet
ter. My wife felt like cooking, and I
sure felt like eating.
“Ziron sure did us good. It made
us both feel stronger and better for the
fall work, which everyone knows Is
‘some work’ on a farm. My boils began
to dry up, though just at first they
seemed worse.
“We are much better and can highly
recommend Ziron, and gladly do so tor

WILL HONOR EARLY PRINTER
Anniversary of Birth of Christophe
Plantin to Be Appropriately Com
memorated in August.
The four hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Christophe Plantin, the
rioted French printer of the sixteenth
century, will be commemorated with
appropriate ceremonies in Antwerp
during August. Plnntin was a son of
Belgium only through adoption. He
was born somewhere in historic
Touraine.
It was the peculiar achievement of
Plnntin to bring honor nml glory to
the printer’s trade in the days of Its
Infancy. YVitJi a keen appreciation
of the beauties of literature, Plnntin
delighted In perfecting his* workman
ship in order that these beauties
might be published In the most at
tractive form possible, although bis
tools were those’of if common work-*
man. His chef-d’oeuvre was the fa
mous Biblla polygotta—published in
1500-1573—an attempt at a .scientific
revision of the text of the Old and
New Testaments. It was published in
the Greek, Hebrew, Syrian and Chal
dean languages. As a result of this
m.ouuinentnl work Plantin received
from King Philip of Spain tile title
“prototypogrnphus regius,” nnd the
right to print all the liturgical books
for the states embraced in King Phil
ip’s far-flung empire.
Auto Numbers.
If you are Inveigled Into betting on
the poker value of automobile num
bers, don’t let the other fellow fool
you into paying him for every one
that contains a pair. Most numbers
show at least a pair, as a New Bed
ford man found to his sorrow the
other day.
The terms of the wager were that
he was to receive a quarter for every
number lacking a pair, and to pay a
quarter for every one that ha 1 a
pair. It sounded all right to him, and
lie agreed. Of the first 35 cars they
saw, 24 had numbers In which the
snme figures appeared twice against
11 In which all the figures were dif
ferent. Since then the loser has test
ed the thing out and has satisfied
himself thnt the pairs outnumber the
others almost two to one.—New Bed
ford Evening Standard.
Electrical Sterilization.
In a new report on electrical steril
ization, Professor Beattie and Lewis
of Liverpool university, concluded that
milk can lie freed from disense germs
without heating above 145 degrees to
147 degrees Fahrenheit. At this low
temperature, the state of the milk Is
not altered and Its properties seem to
be in no way impaired, while the elec
tric treatment greatly Increases the
time of keeping. The tests were made
with two types of apparatus, different
degrees of current and several qual
ities of milk.
