Wheat Raised in
County.
The Moultrie Journal refers
the raising of wheat in
county as an item that will
the attention of farmers more
more in the next few years
says:
“it has been proved, beyond
doubt, that the previous
were not due to inadaptability
the soil or climate, but to
cultivation.
“Mr. J. J. IIarden, who lives
or four miles north of Moultrie,
brought us a sample of wheat yes¬
terday that equals in size
quality of grain to that grown in
any section of the United States.
The bunch brought us contains
thirteen stalks, all from one grain
of wheat, each with heavy, well
formed heads. Mr. Harden has
two acres in wheat and all of it is
as good as the sample. This
wheat, when harvested and made
into flour, will more than supply
his family with bread for a year,
and means a substantial saving in
the family’s expenditures.
“There are several of the most
progressive farmers in the county
that are planting wheat this year
and the success they are having
with it brings it out from the ex¬
perimental stage and places it upon
the plane of certainty.”
The Teachers Institute.
Mr. Editor:
The Board of Education of the
county has arranged for an Insti¬
tute for the teachers of the county
to be held at Camilla, beginning
June 13th and extending through
June 17tli, 1910. Careful effort
has been made to obtain the servi¬
ces of a skilled and entertaining
educator to conduct this lustitute,
and he will be assisted by volun¬
teers upon the various subjects to
be discussed.
The law requires these institutes
to be held in each county every
year and that the teachers attend,
and unquestionably great good can
be accomplished by them. It is of
the utmost importance that our
teachers should be well prepared
for their work, and the very pur¬
pose of these Institutes is 'to help
and benefit the teachers, to the
beneficent end that our school
children shall have and receive
better and more thorough and
efficient training as the years ad¬
vance.
The Board entertains the hope
that this Institute may prove both
instructive and entertaining to our
teachers, and that all those who
expect to teach in this county dur¬
ing the coming scholastic year, as
well as all the people of the coun¬
ty, will lend their influence
hearty co-operation to this work.
bet us try to build up and im¬
prove all the schools of the county.
We owe it to ourselves; we owe it
to the promising children of
county. Let each white
have at least a fair chance.
The Chinese mother bound
foot of the child to prevent
growth. That was barbarous.
Ignorance binds with rusty
of steel and yokes its victims

to see thatJhe minds of these
dren, the wards of this people,
not bound and hampered by
chains of ignorance. Give them
an education.

j An Up-to-date Garage.
Mr. C. V. James is putting the
finishing touches to his automobile
garage and it will be ready for
occupancy in a day or two. It is
; one of the most modern and up-to
! date buildings of its kind south of
j Macon. It is a brick building
‘ with gravel roof. The entire floor
i is cement so laid as to drain quick¬
ly. A dry pit is fixed so that a
workman may stand upright un¬
der a machine while working on
it, thus doing away with the neces
I sity of lying on his back to fix
under parts of a machine. The
building is sixty feet by one hun¬
dred feet and is supplied with
water. Every arrangement is

The Gentle Side of the Game as Seen
by a Humorist.
I have seen a quiet little Sunday
afternoon game of baseball In which
every man on either side told every
man on his own and the other side
just what he thought of his character.
One captain, says Ellis Parker Butler
in Success Magazine, began by telling
his pitcher what he thought of him
and ordered him off the field, and the
pitcher remarked that if he had a
catcher who knew how to catch a
ball once every week or so he would
be able to use some speed. This seem¬
ed to displease the catcher, and he
remarked in no gentle tones about the
pitcher’s general ability and the short¬
sightedness of a captain who would
have such a man on his nine. This
gave pleasure to the opposing nine,
and they showed it by appropriately
guying remarks and were taken to
tusk by the nine men of the other side.
The 200 spectators who gathered to
see the ball game then told both nines
what tliey thought of them and were
given to understand that not a man on
either nine cared a faded fig for—
An hour later the umpire went home
or in the direction of homo, but the
two captains were still discharging
their men. I have seen one stout
catcher discharged eight times in one
seven-iimiug game, during which pe¬
riod resigned -H} four times of his own

THE MATTER HORN.
Its Pointed Peak and the Wonderful
View It Unfolds.
There are very few Alpine peaks so
pointed as the Matterhorn. Some—as.
for instance, Mont Blanc—arAnerely
large lumps of frozen snow, but the
Matterhorn is quite pointed and thin,
composed of a ridge formed by a per¬
pendicular wall of rock on one side
and a very steep rocky slope on the
other, a slope which after going a few
yards at an incline breaks off sharp
Into a precipice.
When on the top. therefore, one is
absolutely perched up between heaven
and earth. Never before have I seen so
much space around and below’ me. It
Is wonderful, immense, unreal. The
panorama unfolded to the eyes is a su¬
perb one. an inextricable mass of!
peaks—Rosa, the Brelthorn, the Corn
bin, Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau and
others. There at our feet lies Zermatt,
seemingly a tiny toy village, where we
can imagine the tourists paying their
franc to the telescope man to look at
us. These good folk do not dream of
the great difficulty we have in keep¬
ing our feet because of the wind.
Alas, it is so cold and the position
such a precarious one that about ten
minutes after our arrival we are com¬
pelled to turn our steps toward the
descent, which on the Alps is much
more to be dreaded than the ascent.—

Sounded Best When Silent.
In a railroad office in West Philadel¬
phia there is an old and trusted clerk
of Celtic extraction who keeps his as¬
sociates in a constant state of good
humor by an unending series of wit¬
ticisms, interspersed occasionally with
"bulls” so glaring that even he him¬
self has to join in the laugh that in¬
variably follows such a "break” on his
part. There was some trouble ou the
telephone cue day recently, and Mike,
as he is called among his friends, lost
much of his usual good nature in his
efforts to get the gist of a message
that was being sent from another of¬
fice. The man on the other end of the
wire finally became exasperated and
asked Mike if he was losing his hear¬
ing.
"I can hear you all right until you
begin to talk,” said Mike, “and then I
can’t understand a word you say.”—

Doves and Coronations.
At the ancient ceremonies of coro¬
nation of the French kings after the
anointing had been performed some
white doves were let loose in the
church. This was supposed to symbol¬
ize the power of the Holy Ghost iu di¬
recting the king’s actions. A similar
idea seems to have inspired all early
kings, for among the English regalia is
the rod of equity or the scepter with
the dove. This is simply a golden rod
with a mound at the top, which sup¬
ports a cross. Ou this cross is a dove,
fashioned of white enamel, with ex¬
panded wings. Some fine diamonds or¬
nament the rod in various places.
Gender of Garlic.
“Why is garlic masculine gender?”
asked the man who markets. “It must
be masculine because the greengrocers
I buy from call it ‘he.’ They are most¬
ly Italian^ and ought to know the sex
of garlic if anybody does. Of all the
vegetables and aromatic herbs I buy
garlic is the only one to which mas¬
culine virtues are ascribed. Every¬
thing else is neuter. To call garlic ‘if
would bo an insult. The garlic, he is
fresh, he is fine, he is cheap, he is
dear. Funny, isn’t it?” —New York
Times.

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores—Only a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.
Since the old-fashioned t’neorv of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below’ the epider¬
mis where the eczema germs are
lodged.
This—the quality of penetrating—
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in D. D. D. Prescrip¬
tion. After ten years of cure after
cure, the world’s leading skin spe¬
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. D. D. Prescription at
$1.00 a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre¬
scription, we have arranged with the
D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special special large offer trial bottle at 25
cents on a now. This
first bottle ought to convince every
sufferer, and, at any rate, it will
surely take away the itch at once.
