Origin of Conccrd Grape.
The development of the Concord
grape in this country was due to ‘the
efforts of Ephraim Wales Bull, who
lived at Concord, Mass., with his fam
ily in the year 1836. Bull purchased
a seventeen-acre farm and decided
to settle on it. ‘There was a native
vine, named vitis labrusca, growing
fn one corner of his farm, which he
watched carefully. He continued
planting seed each year from his
new vine until the original wild habit
was completely broken up, and from
the original stock, as black as night,
grapes were obtained, delicate of tex
ture and of the most agreeable flavor.
During all these years Mr. Bull had
kept up his business of gold-beating in
a small shop near his cottage. In
the summer of 1853, having worked
up a large stock of vines, he placed
the whole in the hands of a firm
which advertised it extensively. In
1854 the vines were sold for $5 cach
and for S4O a dozen to the trade.
\Mr. Bull was awarded a silver medal
in 1855 for the Concord grape by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.—

iT WORKS
The Laborer Eats I'ood That Would
Wreck an Office Man,
Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
elosely confined. ‘
This is illustrated in the following
story:
“I was for 12 years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after I entered the telegraph service.
“There 1 got very little exercise
and drinking strong coffee, my nerves
grew unsteady and my stomach got
weak and I was soon a very sick man,
I quit meat and tobacco, and, in fact,
¥ stopped eating everything which [
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse and
I was all but a wreck.
“I finally quit coffee and come
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and I am speaking the truth
when I say my condition commenced
ito improve immediately, and to-day I
am well and can eat’'anything I want
jwithout any bad “effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
“I told my wife to-day I believed I
oould digest a brick.if I had a cup of
Postum tb go with'it,
“We make it aécording to direc
tions, boiling it 1l .20 minutes, and
use good rich crea@.'a‘nd it is cerfain
ly delicious.” 8

Total Taxable Values in Georgia Reach
$725,867,404.--Railroads and Cor
porations Not Included.
Atlanta, Ga,~Twenty million two
hundred and forty-one thousand nine
hundred and seventy-nine dollars is
the exact gnin upon the county digests
in the taxable property of the state
as compared with 1903,
The last of the digests have been re
ceived, and the rvesult was prompt
ly made up by Captain “Tip" Harrison,
The last digests received, cach of
which showed a gain of the amount
stated, were the following: Dooly,
$70,240; Richmond, $121,5563: Dartow,
$191,554; Washington, §187,187.
Owing to some slight errors in addi
tion a new digest is being made for
Butts county, but that will not change
the result more than a few dollars
ecither way.
The {oregoing does nol include
the gain in railroad and corporation
property returned to the comptroller
general, which was approximately
$243,000.
This makes the total taxable values
in Georgia for 1909 $725,867,404.
ANT!-BLACK ROOT GUTTON.
Staie Entomologist Has Produced Va
riety Which iz a Resistant. |
Atlanta, Ga.,—Prof. A. C. Lewis,
Assistant state entomologist oL
Georgia in charge of cotton culture,
has succeeded in raising a resiscant
variety of cotton which promises to
entirely eradicate black root in this
state.
At the last session of the general
assembly of this state, that body ap
propriated SIO,OOO with which to carry
on the work to fight this dreaded dis
case, which State Entomologist E. L.
Worsham estimates is costing the
planters of Georgia $250,000 annually,
and through the medium of this ro-j
sistant variety, which will be dissem
inated throughout the infected ten‘i-l
tory, it is believed .that the black root
disease will be entirely destroyed by!
the time this appropriation is used]
up. |
The resistant variety of cotton isl
now bheing grown in Sumter county,
and so far has been successful in]
warding off the ravages of this dis
ease. |
The planters of Georgia are watch
ing this fight with a great deal of in
terest, for the Dblack root disease
kills the cotton entirely, so that nOLj
only the lint, but the seed are lost.
STATE RIFLE TEAM RETURNS.
Georgia Men Shot at Wrong Target at
. Camp Perry. |
Atlanta, Ga.,—Somewhat discon
solate over their failure to make a
better showing, but determined to “do
betier next time,” the rifle team
representing Georgia in the national
shooting match at Camp Perry, Ohio,
returned to Atlanta.
The team ranked third in Class C,
being led by Texas and Alabama. One
of the reasons why they failed to make
a better showing was that they got
tangled up on one occasion with the
wrong .target and altho they shot it to
pieces the score did not count.
In spite of the fact that the team
did not make the showing that was
thought possible, the men did very
fine individual shooting and Major
M. E. Laird, who was in charge, feels
that the tecam worked under several
unfavorable conditions and he i 3
confident that at the next annual
match Georgia will give a good account
of herself, |

Savannah member, who took his
seat for the first time, In addition
to holding the office of railroad com
missioner, Mr. Gray will retain his

Ilulgcst flag on earth. It was 180 feet
long and 62 feet wide, This fact was

Shepard. He took a pardonable pride
in the flag, but said it wasn’t for sale.
Mr. Shepard accordingly decided to

will be 200 feet long and 68 feet wide,
and will be the largest in the world,
including Pittsburg’s. He will have
it made in New York, Pittsburg’s re

two weeks have been very warm and
dry. Although the cotton has a good

had been expected. In addition to the
damage by the heat and drought, a
sty or bug has made its appearance
that has infected the boll, causing it
,to rot off the stalk.

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over, No maen can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other diseaso
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im«
pairs digestion and nutrition, For when the stomach
is weak or diseased thero is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength, When a man ‘‘ doesn’t feel just right,'’
when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortablo
fecling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous,
ent, he is losing tho nutrition needed to make strength.,
Such a man should use Dr. Pilerce’s Golden Modical
Discovery. It curcs diseases of the stomach and othewr
organs of digestion and nutrition, It enriches the blood,
dnvigorates the liver, strengthens the kidnoys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH AND STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY. ;

PAINT DURABILITY.
The first thought inpaintingshould,
of course, be durability—and dura
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil (with or
without tinting material).
Some years agothe paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
feit white lead-if he was nc: familiar
with brands. To-day he may bkuy
with perfect safety it he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
It is a guarantee as valuable to the
house-owner as the education of a
paint expert could be. |
