Brand On The Fertilizer"
There is a doctrine that declares it foolish to p;xy for the name on the
goods. Some people believe in this doctrine, and some believe that it is worth
something to know exactly what they are buying. There is no way to be sure
of the goods you buy. unless the manufacturer guarantees them. A manufac
turer ca.nr.ot guarantee his goods unless he has some distinctive way to iden
tify them.
Hence the Brand.
It is especially important to know what sort of fertilizer you use, because
having once put it in the ground, you have no way of correcting a mistake un
til all the mischief is done. Then you discover that you raise only half a bale
of cotton where a whole bale should have grown.
Your Family Suffers
because you thought you could buy some Acid Phosphate, Kainit, and cotton
seed meal, and mix them yourself, and save
Paying for the Brand.
The manufacturer, who expects to stay in business, must make good goods,
Prices Profitable to the Purchaser.
He puts his brand on the package, he guarantees the contents, and he must
have means for knowing that every package is just like every other package.
Did you ever notice in a cotton field one great big fat stalk with a hundred
bolls on it. while all the neighboring plants looked spindling?
Did you ever figure out how much cotton would have been made on the
entire ten acres if every stalk had been like the big one?

Forty-Nine Years. Thirty Children
and Home Burned Down.
Btlua Butt. I-. Stw i lrtl.
Mr. S. A. Dunn, a resident of the
third ward, is beyond doubt the
greatest opponent of race suicide
there is in this section of the coun
tryor any other section, for that
matter.
Mr. Dunn is forty-nine years of
m vet h i th fathor nf thirtv
"r't - "
I .1.- .1 J . .1 . t
cnuuren, me owesi vi wnom is
twenty-five years of age, while the
youngest is an infant.
I Of these thirty children there are
eleven pairs of twins.
I Mr. Dunn has been three times
married, there being twelve children
as a result of the first marriage,
aT.or.g which are three sets of twins.
His second wife bore hi;n ten chil
dren, there being four pairs of twins.
His third wife, who bore him no
twins, made up the deficiency by pre
' seating him with eight fine, husky
children, running the total for Dunn
1 up to thirty.
Aud the best part of it all is that
every one of them is alive and well.
! In addition to having to play Santa
(. laus to thirty pairs or stockings,
Mr. Dunn had the misfortune on last
Friday to have his bouse burned
down, and the entire contents de
stroyed. Mr. Dunn is not only a population
increaser, but is a hustling and in
dustrious American citizen, and it
will take more than a boll weevil, a
fire and eleven pairs of twins to keep
him down.
Mr. Dunn's slogan is: "The more
the merrier."

Monday after Christmas, lie had the
muzzle of the gun resting on his
foot when it was discharged.
"Aunt Diua" Kdwards, an old col
ored woman living in the western
part of town, was stricken with pa
ralysis yesterday, while left alone,
and fell into the lire and was burned
to death before she was fouud.
Carl Kiehardson, the 14-year-old
son of Mr. J. A. Richardson, who
lives one roilo north of town, acci
dentally fired a shotgun Friday, De
cember 2 1th, the load taking effect
in the second toe of his left foot.
The toe was so badly mangled that
it had to be amputated.
Mr. J. F. Smith of Lanes Creek
township killed a hog just before
Christmas that weighed 403 pounds.
If a farmer were to go to the store
and buy such a hog as that he would
probably decide, after making a big
hole in a bale of cotton to pay for it,
that it is cheaper to raise meat at
home.

JOHN D.. JR., ON GRAND JURY.
Son of Richest Man in the World
Heads Jury ftaklat; Investiga
tion of Traffic in Women.
Sw York Dttpurh.Mli.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is fore
man of a grand jury sworn in today
charged especially with the task of
inquiring into the traffic in women,
with a view either to a rigid prose
cution or an end to sensational slan
ders against New York. The district
attorney began a similar line of in
quiry. He assigned a special assist
ant to examine witnesses and in a
statement tonight he urees that the
public come forward with any and
all evidence that such traffic exists.
He asks that this evidence be given
not only to hi eflice, but to the
grand jury and the courts also.
The district attorney intimates
that prominent men in tho city not
only endorse the investigation, but
stand ready to aid him in more sub
stantial ways.
In his address to the grand jury
directing that the white slave traffic
be thoroughly investigated, Judge
O'Sullivan said:
"The main object which I desire
you to keep in mind throughout the
investigation is the uncovering, not
alone of isolated offenses, but of an
organization, if any such exist, for a
traffic in the bodies of women. The
law's machinery is at your command.
The wealth of this opulent city is at
your call. The sympathy and senti
ment of its law-abiding citizens are
with you.
"Your inquiry should not be sat
isfied by any half-way answer. If
organized traffic in women exists in
this city, the law is adequate to end
it and punish the persons engaged.
If such traffic does not exist, your
inquiry should end forever the sen
sational slanders against the city of
New York."

The year 1910 will be distinguish
ed by several most interesting astro
nomical events, first of all in im
portance is doubtless the return of
Halley s comet, that wonderful celes
tial object which toward the end of
spring will shine cut so brightly in
the evening sky that it will attract
the attention of every one. Then
there, will be two interesting total
eclipses of tho moon, both visible
throughout the I'nited States; and in
the last month of the year an emula
tion of the planet Saturn, a beautiful
and unusual sight which will repay
observation with a small telescope.
