SIX
EARLY PICKING WORTH
57 DOLLARS AN ACRE
Ten acres of cotton picked at the
proper time in the fall from October
1 to November 1 may yield as much
as 15 acres of the* same cotton picked
in January, according to the special
ists who have been conducting farm
studies in the South for the United
States Department of Agriculture.
On a farm in Arkansas an acre of
Boykin cotton harvested in the period
between October 1 and November 1
was worth $125 for lint and seed.
In January an acre of an equally good
crop of the same variety was worth
only $10fi. Express cotton gave $193
per acre in October, but in January
the crop was worth only $112.
The result of delayed picking is
chiefly a deterioration in grade and
quality. For example, in a case where
October first cotton rated as “strict
middling, M November first, cotton
of the same variety rated as “strict
low middling,” while on January 21
rythe same variety classed as “good
ordinary” only.

HOW TO TREAT IVY POISONING
In the early stages of ivy poisoning
remedies having a fatty or oily base,
such us ointments, should not lie us
ed, as the greae or oil tends to dis
solve and spread the poison, accord¬
ing to specialists of the U. 8. De¬
partment of Agriculture. Instead they
advise simple remedies ueh a local
applications of solutions of cooking
soda or Epsom salt, one or two heap¬
ing teaspoons to a cup of water. Fluid
extract of grindelia, diluted with 4
to 8 parts of water, is often used.
Solutions of this kind may be ap -1
plied with light bandages or clean I
cloths, which should be kept moist,
and should be changed and dicarded
frequently ty avoid infection. During
the night, or when ^noist applications
can not be used, the poisoned surface
es should be carefully cleaned and
dried and left exposed to the air
rather than tightly bandaged. In the

CHEAP POWER.
How To Get Your Financial Fuel
Down.
At Sarderello, Italy, on the sides
of Mt. Vesuvius, is the cheapest
steam power plant in the world. Not
a pound of coal is used. There is not
a single No. 2 scoop around the
plant. Fuel oil can advance in price
without, a complaint from this plant
and they do not oven burn wood. By j
tapping the crust of the earth, a
jet of volcanic steam bursts forth i
sufficient in pressure to turn the;
machinery of the plant.. The moun-| l
tain is the boiler and there is an in
exhaustible supply of molten fuel
in the fire box.
But there is only one such plant in
the world. In America there is no
volcano which will furnish steam to
run your individual financial power
plant. You have to make your own
steam and burn your own smoke. The
success of your individual plant Is
dependent on the fuel you burn. If
your fuel is too costly or does not
produce the necessary energy your
plant will be run at a loss,
There are various kinds of fuel
which you may use in your financial
power plant. You may speed up the
machinery for a time by burning
yourself, physically or mentally. You
may throw your future comfort and
happiness or the protection of your
old age into the fire box but those
are expensive fuels and the supply
is soon exhausted. Once gone, the
power plant must close down.
The one fuel which you can use
continuously, effectively and cheaply
and which will furnish every re¬
quirement of energy, is thrift, sav¬
ing and safe investment. Savings will
keep the wheels of your financial
plant turning contiuously and with¬
out exhaustion of reserve supplies of
fuel. Through safe investment of
saveings your fuel can be renewed at
constantly decreasing cost.
The safest and most convenient
form of saving and investment
found in Government Savings Secur¬
ities and Liberty Bonds. They are
available to your plant and they will
make steam in your boilers at a small
cost in determination and effort.

Macon Telegraph Declares 4
Walker Ahead for Governor
And Urges His Election
Paper Which Has For¬
merly Been Friendly to
Holder Gives Reasons
For Coming Out Now
for Walker.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 19.—(Special.)
—The Macon Telegraph, which has
up to this time been friendly in John its
attitude to the candidacy of
N. Holder in the gubernatorial
race, will carry in its issue of Fri¬
day the following editorial, in which
it states that Clifford Walker is
undoubtedly in the lead in this con¬
test and takes the position that his
candidacy should therefore receive
the support of the regular demo¬
crats of the state:
“Walker the Stronger.
II Many letters have reached the
Telegraph insisting upon some plan
being adopted by John N. Holder
and Clifford Walker to determine
which one should retire in the in¬
terest of democracy. With both of
them running in the primary, the
loyal and regular democrats will
have to put in two votes for every
one that Hardwick gets in order to
offset Hardwick. This has the ef¬
fect of reducing the votes of the
regulars to one-half vote each as
Rgninst the radical vote counting
for a full unit, arid this is wh.it
the regulars are complaining about.
Clifford Walker has stood flat
footedly, from first to last, for the
elimination of himself or Holder,
this to be decided by close personal
friends of each. Holder has re¬
fused to agree to it, and insists on
making his campaign, regardless of
the risk there is in it for the reg¬
ular democrats.

graph's bureau letter from Atlanta

prominent lawyers in the state,

his expertness with the steam

would elect delegates who would
be friendly to Watson for Senator

W’atson, as he did in the Atlanta
convention, would file sufficient
contests in close counties to put
him over Dorsey, and Hardwick’s
convention could be counted upon
to go as far as possible in seeing
that Hardwick’s steam roller func¬
tioned in the fullest degree.

that Mr. Walker is regarded as the

carried the fight to Hardwick, at¬
tracting the attention of the demo¬
crats of the state and arousing
their admiration and support.
Mr. Walker has in every way
displayed aggressiveness, showing courage Hard¬
and ability in disloyalty up and bol¬

Georgia s Next
U. S. Senator
Hugh M. Dorsey
This race is won.
Hugh M. Dorsey is going to be the next United States Sen¬
ator from Georgia.
Overwhelmingly favorable reports from every county in
every district in the State leave no doubt as to the result.
The evidence is piled up here in Dorsey headquarters stenographers in a
daily mail so large that an extensive force of
can scarcely handle it.
Over 100 enthusiastic Hugh M. Dorsey Clubs have been
organized in as many counties all over Georgia.
The names of voters—many thousands of them—are sign¬
ed to these lists.
Hugh Dorsey is going to carry more than 100 counties in
the primary, including Fulton, his home county, and all the
other six vote counties in the State.
The fight is won against Watsonism—won by Dorsey.
Senator Smith will be a poor third in the race, and will not
even poll as large a vote as in the presidential primary when
he was the last man in the running.
This is the natural result of Hoke Smith’s betrayal of the
Democracy of Georgia in the convention of May 18th, when
he combined with Watson in denouncing the National Demo¬
cratic Administration, and attempting to stab it in the back.
Every report reaching our headquarters shows conclusive¬
ly that this is a contest between Dorsey and Watson, and
that Hoke Smith has not even a remote chance of figuring
in the convention.
When Georgians go to the polls on September 8th, they
are going to put their emphatic stamp of disapproval on the
Watson-Smith combination, and its assault upon the platform
and administration.
Georgians will not tolerate Party assassination.
They will repudiate wobbling, straddling and turn-coat
ism.
They are going to do it in the only possible way—by
electing Hugh M. Dorsey United States Senator.
DORSEY IS A SURE WINNER.
