J. SPELE IS A CANDIDATE. JThn Assistant Stat* Treasurer Will Make tiie l»dC« to Succeed Colonel R. U. Har deman In £iat Office “Unde Bob” Xadornei Him For t..c Kenpoitsiblc Po sition. 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 jjlOlX. \Ok 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.

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. All last winter Mr. Geo. A.

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.” Buvklen’s Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever sores, Tetter Chapped Hands, Chilbins, Corns and all Skin Eruptions, and posi tively cures Piles or no pay re quired It is guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction, or money re funded.

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.” Four Big Successes.

Absolutely pure 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.
