Albany, Ga.,—One of the most remarkable object lessons in the cultivation of cotton ever present ed in this section comes from Clay county, and is presented by W. T. Green, one of the most sue cessful farmers in this section. Mr. Green several years ago de termined to make exhaustive experi ments in cotton growing on the inten sive plan. He selected a measured patch of ten acres of land of the character best suited to the successful cultiva tion of cotton, and planted the best seed which he could procure in the south. He fertilized liberally. In the fall he ginned and sold ten bales of an average weight of 500 pounds from the measured ten-acre patch. That was in 1907. In 1908 Mr. Green planted the same ten acres in cotton again. Again he secured seed which- the Georgia experiment sta tion had declared produced the most prolific cotton grown, and again he fertilized highly, using a good deal more to the acre than he had put down the year before. In the fall Mr. Green ginned and sold fifteen . 500-pour yales of cotton from his measure, fen-acre patch. But still Mr. Green was not. satis fied and this year he planned and planted for two bales to the acre. He used the same ten acres which had produced so abundantly in the two I preceding years and was so fortunate as to secure seed of a new variety, ' not yet on the market, but known to be wonderfully prolific. He put down : even more fertilizer than he had done ) in 1908, and knew exactly what sort of fertilizer to use. He has cultivat ed the field with great care, and the. yield will be fully two bales, or 1,000 ' pounds, to the acre. The field is r said by those who have seen it to be the most wonderful in Georgia, and 1 many arc prepared to wager that »t - will yield twenty bales or more. Whether Mr. Green will be content ’ with two bales to the acre remains to be seen. r For Indigestion and all stomach 3 trouble take Foley's Orino Laxative j as It stimulates the stomach and j- liver and regulates the bowels and . will postlvely cure habitual constipa ( tlon.

DR. T. L. BALLENGER. Dr. T. L. Ballenger was born near Spartenburg, S. C„ April 1, 1858, and died Oct. 1, 1908. He moved from South Carolina to Georgia with his mother in 1870. He studied medicine and graduated from the Southern Medical College in Atlanta in 1891. He practiced medicine at Cohutta, Ga., fifteen years, removing to Sub llgna at the death of his brother, Dr. G. B. Ballenger, three years ago. It was the mission of our brother to administer to the physical as well as the spiritual wants of his fellow man, the faithfulness of which can be attested -by those whom he served Always by his genial Christian spir it bringing cheer and hope to the afflicted and despondent. While we wonder to day why this valuable life should have closed for us while others are permitted to con tinue God knows best. Such lives are meet for the better world and the Master is calling us in these dis pensations of his providence to come awhile apart with him and learn the lessons set for us in their lives so full of faithful work. May we profit by his life work be ing ever ready to do the biddings of tne Holy Spirit. Resolved, That a copy of this be recorded in the church book. A. D. BROOM, MISS MAUD LAWRENCE, MRS. E. W. HALL. I 1 _________ - IN MEMORY. On the evening of Feb. 7th, death 1 ; entered the home of Mr. T. R. Mor ' ton and Mrs. Martha Morton went out to join the redeemed in the Eternal i City In the mansions prepared for . those who are faithful. ' Mrs. Morton was the daughter of '• iur. and Mrs. Samuel Maloney and was born Nov. 26, 1837. She profess ied a faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church early in life and has lived a consistent member since. She was married Aug. 22, 1872, to '! Mr. T. R. Morton, who survives her. Her only daughter, Miss Sarah S. I Morton, died several years ago. She leaves one son, Weston S. Morton. Being reared in a pious home she early developed the traits of a Chris tian character which fitted her so | well for the place she was destined to ! fill in after life. Although she had j been driven to partial retirement by 11) , health for the past ten years she es teemed It a great pleasure to attend i church service. Her patience and trust in God amid the sorrows of life were abiding and beautiful. May her devoted Christian life be an inspiration to those who have known her to higher and better liv ing. We extend our sympathy to her aged husband and family. Resolved, That a copy of this be ' recorded in the church book. A. D. BROOM, MISS MAUD LAWRENCE, MRS. E. W. HALL.

THE SAFFRON PLANT. It Is Among the Very Oldest of the Vegetable Products. The particular species of crocus that has from time immemorial been culti vated for its dried stigmas, a product known under the name of saffron, is Crocus sativus, which is wild from Italy to Kurdistan. Saffron may be reckoned among the very oldest of vegetable products,! being alluded to in the Song of Solomon among other spices of Lebanon. The name crocus Is Chaldean or Greek and was first used by Theophrastus of Eresus about 350 B. C., and that it was a well known and admired flower in Greece soon afterward by Sophocles, who mentions the “crocus of golden beam” in his “Cedipus at Colonos.” The word saffron seems to be a cor ruption of the Arable name “al zahafa ran,” and the product itself was first ini]K>rted into England as a spice or condiment, being also used as a color or dye for silks and other fabrics of the eastern looms. At a later date, exactly when is not known, the plant itself was cultivated In England, more especially in Essex, In which county the name of Saffron Walden remains in evidence of the fact. Again, we have in London Saf fron hill, which formerly was a site included in the bishop of Ely’s garden at Holborn, once famous for its saf fron beds as well as for its strawber ries. Today, however, saffron is but little used.—London Chronicle. SUGAR AND CANDY. Satisfy the Cravings of the Children For Sweets. Children may eat too much sugar, and they may also stay too long in their bathtub, or hi the creek when they go in swimming, or get tanned or a headach? from playing too long In the sun, or chilled by staying too long in the open air. but is that any sound reason why they should be deprived of sweets, sunlight, baths and fresh air or discouraged from indulging in them? All that is needed, says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Success Magazine, is a little common sense regulation and ju dicious supervision, not prohibition or denunciation. Most of the extraordi nary eraving for pure sugar and can dy, which is,supposed to lead the average eld’d to inevitably "founder himself it left to his own sweet will mid a box of candy, is due to a state of artificial and abnormal sugar star vation. produced by an insufficient amount of this invaluable food in its regular diet. Children who are given plenty of sugar on their mush, bread and but ter and puddings, a regular allowance of cake and plenty of sweet fruits are almost free from this craze for candy, this tendency to gorge themselves to surfeit, and can usually be trusted with both the candy box and the sugar bowl.
