O. B. Stevens, commissioner of Agri- culture, says he has received the information from Dawson that as the result of the operations f , dispensary established , , , , there by the State Legislature, there will be no county taxes collected in Terrell county this year. The county lias paid for its new jail from the receipts or the dis¬ pensary, and has reduced the tax rate from $7 on the $1,000 in 1898, to nothing. Yankees Sit the Example. J he Raleigh News and Observer calls attention to the fact that one of the first lynchings of a ne- ' gro for an assault upon a white 1 woman was by a regiment of tol- (diers of ■riierman’s army. The J incident o -urred in Johnson county, 'i'l li Carolina, in the spring of lbtio. the soldiers | found the won.an outraged,wound- ied and suffering and she told a party of liiem her story. The brute she described was oqly a few hunureu yards away, and the soJ- ! diers, when they caught him, shot ’ him death without trial or mer- to ey. They thought that either (would have been out of place, and j it is the survival of this feeling j that is responsible for lynching today. It is remarkable, however, that northern nen should have set the fashion tor what northern , newspapers are wont to speak of as a distinctively southern insti- tution.—Sav annah News.

Investigations Being Made by Government Expert. The numerous complaints of the planters regarding , he rav¬ ages of “wilt, >> rust” and other varied forms of disease of the cot¬ ton plant has induced the govern¬ ment to send an expert through the south to make a careful ex¬ amination of the disorders for the department of agriculture. Mr. B. M. Duggar, recently pro¬ fessor of botany in Cornell Uni¬ versity, but now connected with the physiological division of plant pathology, department of culture of the United States, has recently been appointed to exam- ine into and report to his nient as to the extent of the rav- ages of the “root rot” in Texas, Prof. Duggar stopped at Monroe, La., en route to Texas, and made a careful examination of the fected plants taken from several of the plantations of that section. After a thorough inspection of the specimens selected from the various fields Prof. Duggar ports as follows : “The organism causing this die- easels not, as is generally sup- posed, an insect, out a plant or fungus growth .called neocosmos- pora vanisfecto. The injury vn- ries from a few per c$nt. to as much as ninety per cent, in badly infected fields; that is, ninety per cent, of the stalks are diseased or may be diseased. This does not necessarily mean that ninety per cent, of the cotton will be lost, because all of the cotton bolls on the diseased stalks that are ma¬ tured will open, but where the cotton boll has not 'matured it will wither and drop. “During wet weather this dis¬ ease manifests itself by the wiit- iiig of the entire plant, and ibir- mg the dry weather the leaves soon become parched and drop. In this region it is sometimes called ‘wilt’ and sometimes ■rust, according to whether ihe location of the ground be high Jow. Its appearance is general throughout the southern and ticularly the southeastern states. This disease is caused by a micro- scopic plant parasite, known as fungus, closely related to what wu» commonly known » ■molt,.’ This Ihis funcus uingus gains dins entrance entrance to to ttie [hunt through the-soil, enter,eg \,y the roots. The woody part of the stem, between the bark and the pith, becomes diseased, which takes from the plant nearly nil of the water derived from the soil, thus smothering it and causing it wilt. This fungus will persist Don’t forget our line of RED SEAL SHOES, the best that money can buy, and the prices are reasonable. See our Children’s Patent Leather Shoes 85c, 95c, $1.25 and $1.50. in the .soil for several years, and, in a sense, the soil may he termed diseased, and cotton planted on such land will show a reappear¬ ance of the disease every year. No remedy could he applied to the soil without a great outlay of money, and the only feasible method of combatting the malady is by means of proper seed selec¬ tion . “It has been found by the de¬ partment that by selecting seed from the healthy or resistant plants in the diseased field a strain of resistant or immune cotton may be obtained; that is, the plants having withstood the affection one season it is reasonable to suppose they will prove immune the next, as has been demonstrated by 1 tests. It is not enough that seed be secured from a distance, since it may not prove resistant.” In speaking ot the distinction between the “wilt” and the “root rot” Prof. Duggar says: “It differs from ‘wilt’ in that it merely affects the roots, which in many cases causes the plant to rot and fall, but the plant is never | affected through, as is the case with‘wilt.’ What is known as ‘wilt, rust’ and to a certain ex- 1 tent ‘root rot,’ is merely a mani- festation of the same disease un- der different conditions.” The Sheriff Found Him. Sheriff Wilkins, accompanied by Judge Dozier, attended a foot- j'washing at a Primitive Baptist church a few days 'go, and while I the congregation was singing “I once was lost, but now am found,” Sheriff Wilkins walked in and took a stand by a young man ley the name of Myres who had been desirous ever since April not to 1 be seen in the good sheriff’s com¬ pany. There has been a warrant for the young for cursing Mrs. Joshua Newberry. After his ar¬ rest he was brought to town and lodged in jail, but a bond was given for h^s appearance at court and he was released.—Miller Coun- ty Liberal. Geo.

Their Presence in the Douglass Breeze Office Makes the Editor’s Irish Rise. We not e the presence of a couple of Mormon elders on our st ’eets last Tuesday. These people s lem to like Coffee county, and it is said li v have some foothold in the county, but their presence does not forebode any good for the community. They have oily tongic - and seductive arguments, still tin Mormon church is not the church of God, nor one to help von on to salvation. If you giv« them food and shelter you tin m in their work, and while the Bible tells you to treat the stranger within your gates with charity, it does not mean to hud¬ dle and horde a lecherous prose- lyter to Cie bosom of your fami- ] y- W were disposed to treat them with some consideration ourself i itil two of them came into our office and made insulting references to Christ when we in- v'ted them to leave, but they would noi do so until we threaten¬ ed to use a single-column lead plate base upon them, much to our regret. We are in favor of religion of any kind that does not abuse our Savior, but the devil, or something, makes our “Irish” rise when that is done. He is our friend, our only friend to whom we carry all our sorrows, and we find relief no one else eai» give, therefore He must not insulted in our presence —I> lass Breeze. A Soft Job.
