Uncle Bob Hardeman will not be a
candidate for re-election to tiie office of
treasurer of state, but for some time he
has been quietly working for another
man who will be a candidate.
That other man is Uncle Bob’s friend
and assistant, Mr W J. Speer.
For 16 years Mr. Speer has been as
sistant treasurer, and lie is more famil
iar with the work of the office than any
Other man in the state, with the excap

COLONEL Bon HARDEMAN,
tion, of course, of Uucle xiob euinself.
He went in with his brother, the late
I). N. Speer, during the latter’s service
as treasurer, and has been with Treas
urer Hardeman throughout his entire
service.
“Yes, it is true,” said Treasurer Har
deman when asked by a representative
of the press about the rumor concerning
l;is retirement. “Some time ago I made
up xny mind that I would not again be
a candidate for state treasurer.
“You see,” said “Uncle Bob.” as ev
erybody calls him. “my present position
necessitates my getting up early in the
morning and taking a railroad trip of
40 miles and the same trip in the after
noon after office hours to got back to
my home. You ma; ">t know it, but
the fact is that I am . - young as I
once was; I have reacneu the time in
life when it seems wise to take care of
myself. Don't misunderstand roe as
saying that I am old, for I’ll resent that
very promptly, but I have the opportu
nity to form other business connections
which will leave my time much more to
myself, will give me less responsibility,
will bo easier and at the same time
bring m more remuneration. The com
bination is one that caused me to de
cide definitely that I should not be a
candidate for this office and 1 have been
working quietly in the interest of my

“As you know,” continued Treasurer
Hardeman, “the salr’-y of the office of
state treasurer is $2,000 per year. It
Cails for a bond of $200,000. Men who
Jr <
W. J. SPEER. ’’’
»ro able to give that bond do not. as a
rule, care for the responsibilities and the
work and the worry of such an office.
Mr. Speer has been here with me for 12
years, and fo’- four years was with his
brother. He can give the bond readily.
He is magnificently equipped for the
office and I, knowing his splendid quali
fications and his splendid ability, believe
tJfcit he is just the man to bo elected
state treasurer. The treasury would run
along under his management just as it
runs now. There are not too many good
things that you can say of Bill Speer.
He is one of the truest men that ever
lived, a magnificent business man, one
who knows every phase of the work of
this office, and he is, as I say, magnifi
cently equipped. I want you to say all
this because I want it to be understood
that I not only favor the election of Mr.
Speor, but I am strongly and heartily
supporting him, and I hope that all my
friends will give him the same kind of
support.”
Golouel Hardeman spoke with great
earnestness. It was certainly a tribute
of which any man might be proud, and
the public men of Georgia—for all know
“Bill” Speer—know that the tribute
was, deserved. During his long service
as assistant treasurer Mr. Speer has
been brought in touch with all the pub
lic men of Georgia and as bank exam
iner he has made many friends in every
part of the state. It can truly be said
of him, that he has never made au en
emy, He is a safe, sound business man
who possess all the qualities requisite
to a splendid treasurer. The people
will make no mistake in electing him.

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MakCH 4, 1«»6
German or Crimson Clover.
Question 13.—Can German clover be
sown in the spring, and is it a good
crop to turn under for improving the
land ? How much seed to the acre ?
Answer 13.—German clover is not
adapted for spring sowing. The best I
time to sow is from the hitter part of i
August until October, though it may
be sown still later. The amount of seed
per acre should be about 15 to 20 pounds,
according to the fertility of the soil.
With the exception of the field pea, there
is no crop, which at the south, may be
made of greater service in improving
the soil and its culture does not inter
fere with the growth of summer crops
on the same land. Unlike other clover
it is an annual and after perfecting its
seed in the spring, dies down. If the
growth is good and care is taken to
cease pasturing and cutting soon enough
in the season, say about March 1, the
seeds will mature and if not gathered,
but allowed to fall on the land, a crop
of late corn may be planted and culti
vated, and when this is taken off the
clover will spring up and the plants
again cover the laud.—State Agricul
tural Department.
Fertilizer For Cotton.
Question 20.—1 have made a mixture
of three-fourths cottonseed meal, and
one fourth kainit. Is it a complete fer
tilizer, and is it a good mixture for cot
ton?
Answer 20.—The fertilizer that you
have made, lacks a most important in
gredient, and until that is added, it is
not by any means a complete fertilizer.
The nitrogen of the meal will give
growth to the stalk and foliage of the
plant the kainit will give strength and
vigor to the stalk, and tends to lessen
the liability to rust, but to make the
plants fruit well, you must have phos
phoric acid in addition to the other two
ingredients. With the addition of the
acid you will have a complete fertilizer,
without it you will grow a vigorous,
but poorly fruited cotton plant. I
would recommend a mixture of 1,000
pounds of acid phosphate, 500 pounds
of cottonseed meal, and 500 pounds of
kainit.—State Agricultural Department.
German Clover Hay as Stock Food.
Question 17.—1 have heard that the
German clover hay is dangerous as a
food for stock. I would like to be in
formed on this point and would also ask
when is the proper time for cutting and
curing it ?
Answer 17.—The hay should be cut
before the seed begins to form. If left
later than this and the seed is allowed
to ripen, the beard of chaff may cause
trouble. German clover hay is now
used in large quantities and with suc
cess as a food for both horses and cows.
It is, however, a safe rule to give a
mixed ration, combining the clover
with either hay or fodder. It will
then be harmless, even if it was cut
when too ripe.—State Agricultural De
partment.
LOVES.
His Intense Love for Pretty Sally
Cary, and His Marriage.
Writing of Washington's great
paesioD, Sally Ca y, in March La
dies’ Home Journal, Mrs. Burton
Harrison says: ‘Apparently so
riddled by the shafts of the little
god of love had been the heart of
Washington, the boy, that it is
hard to know how, after his sighs
for the ‘Lowland Beauty’ (Sally
Cary), and his repeated addresses
to Miss Betsey Fauntelroy, and
his lalt-r sensibility to the charms
<>f ‘the ven agreeable young lady,’
afterward Mrs. Ambler, the pas
sion for a woman who never might
be his could have dominated him
as it did for so many years. But
from the evidence of his own let
ters the love he had felt for the
others was as water unto wine be
side the 1 cpeless attachment for
his beautiful neighbor (Sally Cary)
that during this period threatened
to assume ’sovereign controul’ of
his ardent nature. Fortunately,
thanks to time, the lady’s subse
quent absence in England with
her husband, and above all, be
cause it was made subject to his
own indomitable will, the feeling
was subdued, and his marriage
with Mrs, Custis ended the episode
happily.
“The proofs are the enduring in
timacy and confidence that existed
between Washington, his wife, and
every member of the Belvoir fam
ily during their respective lives.
They may be read by any student
of the writings of Washington,
and will carry conviction in each
line.”

Will people never learn that a
“cold” is an accident to be dreaded
and that when it occurs treatment
should be promptly applied? There
is no knowing where the trouble
will end ; and while complete re
covery is the rule, the exceptions
are erribly frequent and thousands
upon thousands of fatal illnesses
occur every year ushered in by a
little injudicious exposure and
seemingly trifling symptoms. Be
yond this, there are today countless
invalids who can trace their com
plaints to “colds,” which at the
time of occurrence gave no concern
and were therefore neglected.—

A Grammatical Puzzle.
A fortune of SIIB,OOO is hanging
on the grammatical construction
o a -:t le word in the superior
court of San Francisco. A jury
among whom there is not a school
teacher or anyone claiming to be
an authority on grammar, had, up
to a week ag> devoted 12 days to
the consideration of the point, and
at last accounts the case was still
unsettled. The learned judge and
some half dozen high-priced law
yers had been helping to disintan
gle the intricacies of the problem.
The prize depends on the exact
meaning of the word “their” as it
appears in a clause in a contract.
It is plain that the word is a pro
noun, standing for an antecedent
noun in the sentence, but there are
two such nouns, and the point is
as to which it refers. This is the
SIIB,OOO sentence.
“And at their option the Adams
Company is to have the use of all
the machinery and c< a. hoisting
apparatus now in use by the South- 1
ern companies.”
The Southern companies referred
to have the money which is at
stake, and if the jury decide that
the “their” refers to them they '
will keep it If they hold that
“their” refers to the Adams com
pany, then the Adams company
will get it. The sentence occurs
in a contract between the Adams
Company and the Southern Pacific
railroad company for five years.
The account adds:
“It is said that the Southern Pa
cific company’s lawyer did not see
the possibilities in the queer bit of
grammar until long after litigation
had been begun. In the sentence
under dispute appear the words
Adams company is and the South
ern companies claim that the word
company is therefore written in
the singular sense and the word
‘their’ cannot apply to it. If the
writer had meant io apply to the '
Adams Company he would have ,
used the word ‘its’ instead <<f ‘their.’
The other side claims that the
word ‘their’ must refer to the
Adams Company, because the lat
ter is the nearest noun to the dis
puted pronoun.”

CAST STEEL SHELLS.
Unequaled Results in Experi
ments With Naval Projectiles.
\\ ashington, Feb. 26.—Surpris
ing results were obtained at a test
of shells at the Indian Head prov
ing grounds yesterday, and if these
shall be confirmed by further ex
periments our navy, which already
possesses the best armor-plate in
the world, will have by far the
best armor-penetrating shells, and
both of American invention.
What was done yesterday at the
proving grounds was to fire a John
son cast-steel shell of six-inch cal
iber entirely through a seven-inch
Harveyized nickel steel plate,
through the heavy oak backing
and twelve feet into the bank of
clay behind. This performance
never has been equaled by any
projectile of like caliber.
To prove the experiment, a
Wheeler sterling shell was fired at
the same velocity at the same
plate. It was smashed upon the
face of the plate after a slight
penetration. The cast-steel shells
can be made for much less than
those now in use. A successful
test of the lowa’s barbette plate
was also made.
Cure for Headache.
As a remedy for all forms of
Headache Electric Bitters has
proved to be the very best. It ef
fects a permanent cure and the
most dreaded habitual sick head
aches yield to its influence. We
urge all who are aillicted to pro
cure a bottle, and give this remedy
a fair trial. In cases of habitual
constipation Electric Bitters cures
by giving the needed tone to the
bowels, and few cases long resist
the use of this medicine. Try it
once. Large bottles only 5C cents

Prohibition Is Dead.
Des Moines, la., Feb., 27.—1 n

to 52. A motion to reconsider was
made and laid on the table, and
then the consideration of the res
olution was indefinitely postponed.
This settles prohibition for at
least five years in lowa.
