["It’ll Be Just Fine To Be a Stu
dent-Wife,” Says Mrs.
Grady Walker.
"I'm glad my husb— I mean Mr.
Walker—is going to allow me to con
tinue in school and complete my edu
cation. I think it’ll be just fine to be a
school girl and a married woman all at
the same time."
Pretty sixteen-year-old Mrs. Grady
Walker, formerly Miss Oinmie Thom
ason. of 258 Ashby street, West End,
whose romantic elopement caused her
Irate father. John J. Thomason, to be
detained by detectiVes Thursday night
until ho became reconciled, made that
remark today.
The girl-bride was busy with her
school books this morning, preparing
for a recitation of her lessons Monday
at Miss Woodberry's school for girls in
Peachtree street, whore yesterday aft
ernoon she was given a dramatic re
ception and ovation by the girls of the
whole school.
Has "Extra Teacher” Now.
When Miss Woodberry learned that
one of her girl pupils liad made a mix
ture of matrimony and knowledge, she
at once declared a recess, called forth
the protesting bride and introduced her
as "our new student. Mrs. Grady Walk
er.”
Instantly the school was converted
into a scene of jollification. The girls
cheered the “new pupil” lustily, and
then swarmed about her, showering
upon her congratulations and good
wishes.
“I have an extra teacher now. and
I’m going to make him help me every
night.” Mrs. Walker confidently told the
girls, as she laughed merrily.
"I don’t think that’s fair." exdainfed
one of the girls, as she feigned a frown,
and then hugged the bride.
Intends to Finish Course.
When the "new pupil" left the school
she promised Miss Woodberry she
would he at her desk Monday morning
as usual.
Mrs. Walker intends to complete her
full lourse at .Miss Woodberry's school,
which will require two more years.
The bridegroom, who is secretary and
treasurer of the Lowry Plumbing Sup
ply Company, in East Alabama street,
informed his bride as soon as they were
married that he intended to keep her in
school.
"Os course, 1 didn’t give school or my
education a thought when 1 ran away
ami married my husb—Mr. Walker—-

131215 GREATEST
CROP YEAR, SAYS
SECIMI
In 16 Years Farmers’ Wealth
Has Increased 141 Per
Cent, He Shows.
WASHINGTON. Dee. 7.—The most
productive ye ir in the history of the
United States has drawn to a close, ac
cording to the annual report of Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson to the pres
ident, just Issued.
Basing his figures on the census items
on wealth production on farms, Secre
tary Wilson values the grand total of
the 1912 crop at $9,532,000,000. Be
sides the production of the soil, this
imount includes the live stock output.
In commenting on the productive
ness - i the past year in relation to
those preceding, Secretary Wilson said:
' The enormous sum represented by
the crop output of the United States
for 1912 Is mon? than twice the value
of the wealth produced on farms in
1899, according to the census, and it
is about one-half more than the wealth
produced in 1909.
"During the past sixteen years, the
farmer has steadily increased his
wealth production year by year, with
the exception of 1911, when the value
declined from that of the preceding
year. If wealth produced on farms in
1899 he regarded as 100, the wealth pro
duced sixteen years ago, or in 1897, is
represented as 84. and the wealth pro
duced in 1912 as 202.1. During the six
teen years the farmer’s wealth has in
creased 141 per cent. During the past
sixteen y ears the wealth production on
farms, according to the census items,
reached the grand total of more than
$105,000,000,000.
Uplift in Country Life.
In conclusion, the secretary said:
"There has been an uplift of agri
culture any! country life. Beginnings
have been made in a production per
acre increasing faster than the nat
ural increase of population.
"In this movement the department of
agriculture has been gradually equip
ped to occupy the foremost place. It
came to learn; it has remained to teach.
Its teaching, its discoveries and its im
provements are permeating the national
agricultural life. The forces that are
at work must cause ever-increasing re
sults.”
Secretary Wilson included a crop
statement which showed that the corn
yield held the lead. The estimated val
ue of this product was $1,750,000,000.
the yield reached the high water mark
of 3,169,000.000 bushels.
Hay was given second place in the
estimated figures contained in the sec
retary's report. The yield was 72,425,-
000 tons, which was held to be worth
$861,000,000. "The importance of this
crop," says the report, “is better real
ized when it is observed that its value
is greater than that of the cotton crop,
and nearly as great as the combined
values of the wheat, tobacco and pota
to crops."
Cotton Worth $860,000,000.
The report states that it is too early
to estimate the production of cotton this
year. $860,000,000 was placed as a pos
sible figure for this crop. The wheat
yield, as estimated by the department,
will be worth to the farmer $596,000,000.
Oats were placed as the fifth crop in
order, the value being estimated at
$478,000,000. The value of the potato
crop was placed at $190,000,000; the
barley crop at $125,000,000, and tobac
co at $97,000,000. The value of the
1912 tlax seed, rye, rice, buckwheat and
hops crops yvere set at $30,000,000. $24,-
000,000. $20,000,000 $12,000,000 and
$11,000,000 respectively. The production
of sugar from the beet was set at
700,000 tons, 100,000 tons more than
that of last year.

INSISTON HOSTETTER’S
FARM WEALTH PRODUCED
THIS YEAR $9,532,000,000
From the report of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to the
president .*
'Die most effective move toward the reducing of the high
cost of living is the production of greater crops.
This has been the most productive of all agricultural years in
the ountry.
Based on the census of wealth production on farms, the
grand total for 1912 is estimated at $9,532.000,000 —more than

During the past sixteen years the weatlh production on
farms, according to census items, has reached the grand total
of more than $105,000,000,000.

has been an uplift of agriculture and country life.

ELOPER HEED AS
BIMIST FREED
Father’s Accusations Are Not
Proved and Police Refuse to
Detain Son-in-Law.
Detained in the police station for sev
eral hours suspected of having a living
wife in South Carolina, J. T. Cunning
ham. a West End contractor, wno two
months ago eloped with and married
sixteen-year-old Sarah Mashburn, of
43 Robins street, today was freed by'
Chief Beavers when it developed there
was no evidence and no definite charge
against him.
M. M. Mashburn, father of the girl,
informed the chief he had received in
formation to the effect that Cunning
ham has another wife in the Palmetto
state, but the information was not in
such shape as to warrant the accused
son-in-law being held.
Cunningham protested his innocence
repeatedly.
At the time of the elopement the fa
ther of the girl so strenuously opposed
the marriage that he called the police to
halt the ceremony. They arrived just
in time to hear the concluding words of
the marriage ceremony, pronounced by
the pastor of the Walker Street Meth
odist church.
Mashburn, pere, did not rest, how
ever. and today’ he told Chief Beavers
that he had received information that
the man had another wife in South
Carolina.
Investigation proved that Mashburn’s
evidence was entirely indefinite and no
warrant having been sworn out, the
chief ordered the contractor’s release.
When Cunningham, who is 33 years
old, took his girl-wife, he had been liv
ing in the same house with the Mash
burns. It was there that he lost one
wife, who died suddenly of acute kidney
trouble.

KIN DF CLAY TO
iKE LAST PLEA
Family of Slayer Will Ask Gov
ernor to Commute Death
Sentence.
The entire family of Robert L. Clay,
wife slayer and alleged maniac, con
demned to die on the gallows in the
Tower next Friday, will appear before
Governor Brown Monday morning and
make a final plea to save him.
The governor will be asked to com
mute the death sentence to life Im
prisonment. and if this appeal fails.
Attorney W. M. Smith, counsel for the
doomed man, will ask for the appoint
ment of a special lunacy commission
to examine Clay and report on his men
tal condition.
Should a lunacy commission be ap
pointed, it is likely that Clay will be
respited, pending the examination and
report. In the meantime, officials at
the jail are preparing for the execu
tion.
During his trial, several months ago.
Clay was declared sane by a commis
sion of three alienists —Drs. James
Baird, James Ellis and S. H. Green —
appointed by the court. The county
commission since*has declined to pay
for their services, and Clay’s friends
are without funds to obtain another ex
amination.
For this reason W. M. Smith has ad
dressed a letter to the three physicians
who examined Clay, urging them to
make another test as a professional
duty.
"My connection with the case Is un
der appointment from the court, and
without compensation,” says Smith.

A NEW FEATURE OF
BAPTIST TABERNACLE
Considerable impetus will be given
the institutional features of the Baptist
Tabernacle during the winter. This
announcement follows the recent sale
of the Tabernacle infirmary to the
Georgia Baptist convention.
The new features of the church wo l<
will be along educational lines, both
mental and physical. Gymnasium
classes, for boys and girls, will b
opened.
One of the most interesting features
of the new organizations is the Sun
day morning -creche arranged so that
mothers of children under six can a'-
tend worship. At a recent Sundav
meeting of this novel day nursery 35
children were cared for while the’r
mothers took part in the Sundav morn

’ GRAY HAIR -
How Your Hair May Be Darkened
and Kept So
REMARKABLE METHOD
Gray hair is believed by most peot e
to be evidence of weakening in phvsi'.d
and mental power, and those who' mu--*
•rely upon looking young and vigornns
dlce° fteh compelled to ftsht this
Prejudice Against Gray Hair.
♦ h7? e * !a y- haire d person soon realizes
that younger-appearing men are chosen
for positions, although he may knmt
some thus selected, who are really older
than he is. viucr
Among women, doesn’t the one whn
possesses hair of the natural da
brown shade (rather than g ay. white o
bleached) meet with the highest favoi >
As a matter of fact, gray hair usua,:,
has nothing whatever to do with los® of
physical or mental vitality. It is caused
by a disorder of the pigmentary glands
in the hair follicles, due to such causes
as a shock, fever, wearing of heavy
hats, neglect in caring for the hair, .
Don’t Paint Your Hair.
Most gray-haired persons make the
mistake of relying upon what are c..m
monly sold as hair stains, dyes, dyeing
combs, etc. It would be quite as sen-L
--ble to use ink or stove polish, for these
cheap and nasty dyes deceive nobodv
except those who use them. The color
is unnatural, and everybody easily
knows what has been done. The hai*
has been merely painted. These dvrs
soon wash oft, usually discoloring th®
skin, clothing, pillows, etc., and ugly
streaks of strange shades cover th"
hair.
Restoration of Color.
Scientists have been studying the
problem for years. We are confident
the best hair darkening method has
been evolved, which has its object not
merely in restoring the hair to the
natural shade of youthful days, but in
developing a luxuriant, silky, strong,
beautiful growth.
The hair roots and glands are reach
ed scientifically, and the best possible
results are attained. This new method
is directed at causing the hair to dark
en gradually, so that the appearance is
that of improving health and vigor.
Information Free.
The cost of the new Method is com
paratively very small. An illustrated,
very interesting book will be sent abso
lutely free. It has information about
restoring the hair to natural color,
overcoming baldness, lasting removal of
dandruff, how to stop hair from falling
out, etc. This treatise is of value to
men and women of all ages. It will be
