To the Editor of The News:
The prodigious yield of oats grown
by Col. J. D. Wylie in 1882 comes to J
the front once more. I remember
reporting the yield to some of my
friends and neighbors soon after
moving to Valdosta (1891,) but they;
were skeptical?not disposed to be- 1
lieve it possible?whereupon 1 un- 1
dertook to show that honorable,
trustworthy men witnessed the measurements
and certified to its correct- ^
ness. Yet some contended that the
inspectors overestimated for some .
reason. The matter dropped and
thirty years or more have come and
gone, anil behold it bobs up again
ITail 1 known that the record touch-1
ing the matter had been recorded in' 1'
the means conveyance oflice of your t
county, I could have made a much
better showing than 1 did As it is. 11
I let the matter drop but contend; t
that the yield topped the highest j a
record on the subje ct. B
Mayor Hood seemed to make a mistake
when he was slaying the shad* J
trees, but of late his course is commended
and from what I gather front!
J'he News (it is my base or interpreter?
Juddic can succeed himself i:
it is his pleasure to do so. Juddic j
is a good fellow and only means to!
do the light thing - build up your
progressive town.
In speaking of the Yahlosta fair, i
I overestimated the crowd. I did not
mean to do so, but I was misinformed.
The attendance was large but
only a little over halt tin; number
estimated. I make this statement
because I did not want to be misleading.
Some of your readers, 110 doubt, re-'
mcuiuci inui wr. .Mr.>urioii was i
I 4
charged and convicted of poisoning <
one of ins patients (Mr. Flanders,? i i
which resulted in his (Flander's)
death. 1 presume the proof must j '
have been conclusive. The court J '
imposed a life sentence on the doctor, j 1
who denied his guilty and drew from J
his own veins, blood to sign his de-1
nial. Now the point is does the (
blood (unusual writing fluid * ' |
strengthen his claim of innoncence? \
I see no move in your state looking
to the extermination of the cattb <
tick. Georgia is spending large
sums ol money looking to that end |
and the outlook is that success will1
crown their efforts. The state has
established what they call vats'
throughout the country, perhaps ten!
ill this ( Lowndes 1 count v Tln.v iro 1 (
mad'- to hold liquods and charged I 1
with properties to the end in view.
The cows are forced into the vats
(head and cars) as they are driven
on a railroad car. One or two dip
pings seems to do the work. I am
advised that it is a good thing.
At this point of my letter, Novem- i
her I*tli, my dear wife was called to
the beyond and 1 was overwhelmed
with grief; so much so that I was
constrained to lay aside such work.,
And now after the lapse of live or six!
weeks, I propose to ask the editor to
print a few thoughts, from my own
hand, touching my dear wife's character.
It is unusual and besides
many nice things have been written
and printed by others, but I knew
her better than any other living person,
therefore I hope to escape criticism
and be pardoned for any improprieties.
As stated many nice
things have been said and printed in.!
The News. One signed a "Friend,"
and one by the editor, both are to the
point and well written. Not only
so but the editor sent me a nice sympathetic
letter through the mail?one
that I very much appreciated. Many
others thus favored us with their let-;
ters of sympathy, to all of whom, !
hereby extend my sincere thanks.
Such kind friends in such beautiful
language goes a long ways towards
helping bear such bereavements.
Such manifestations and good
wishes can never be forgotten. Others
(many others) have manifested their
sympathy, to all of whom I hereby
tender my love and sincere thanks.
I must say that none of the friends
mu? wnving nave ovcarawn or overestimated
the character of the deceased.
She was endowed with a
mind and heart above the average, or
to express the case in different language,
she applied common sense to
all rtrfat'ons in life. She was loyai
to her church (not narrow) and
friends and always ready to help the
needy to the extent of her ability.
She was no egotist. Her true worth
was not manifest In her daily walk.
Her virtues were kept back lest
night be said she was not what she
laimed to be, or in other words, i,he
ias not decitful. \Vh#t I have said
ouchlng the life of my late deceased
l ife may be considered bad taste for
lie (the surviving husband,) but I
mow better than any one else what
am talking about and when thcj
ong (nearly (53 years) association:
ictween us is considered, no one will!
luestion my right to know tlie facts, j
believe the pleasant relations be- j
ween us during our long married j
it'e will comuare favorably with anvl
ouple thus united. In her character
here was nothing light or foolish,
>ut as said common sense was her
uling passion and from which she
lever swerved.
In concluding this eulogy (if it
nay be so called) I ask my friends
irrespective of denominational
ines) to remember me when they ap>roach
the throne of grace, that it
nay be well with me and that my
ast end may he like the one we
nourn. J. W. TWITTY.

:aring for the unknown
^triotic Work Undertaken by German
Women That Is ol Real Service
to the Fatherland.
A correspondent of the Companion
n Germany writes of a touching thing
hat the lonely women of the nation ]
mve done? -women who have no sons, i
10 husband, no brother, no father in
he war; who afe perhaps too old or j
00 feeble to nurse or to be otherwise ;
ictive. No one knows where the idea I
itarted, but some women of that sort
nade inquiries of the regiments re- |
yarding soldiers who had no father
>r mother; they begged to be put in
iommunieation with those soldiers. j
The names of soldiers were sent to !
hese women, this strange name and
hat, the names of men whom they |
lid not know and had never seen! ,
Sach woman chose one or two sol- !
liers to be her especial care. The
hildless mothers sent gifts, and
lewed and knit for the motherless solliers
Now and then came, in return.
1 grateful post card from the field
'rom the adopted son. Once I read
>ne of the cards.
"'Many thanks, dear friend.'' it read,
"for ttu' package of warm things, i
Imagine my surprise! The mail arrived!
I expected nothing, hut I was
the only one to receive a package?
[ alone, the orphan! From you 1 received
the only package 1 ever got in
my life!"
Eight days later the orphan soldier
boy fell: a comrade brought the news. 1
ind a gentle, lonely soul wept for him, |
whom she had never known. He had
been the means of forming a strong
tie that bound in imagination a woman's
silent life with the mighty fate
af her country. She who had never
been a mother had become a volunteer
mother.?Youth's Companion.
TOOK SPLINTER FROM HEART]
Extraordinary Operation That French
Surgeons Are Reported to Have
Successfully Carried Out.
An operation unique in the annals j
of surgery, the extraction of a fragment
of hand-grenade from the heart,
was described recently at the Paris
Academy of Medicine by Professor
Armaingaud of Bordeaux.
The patient, a young Parisian sergeant
of rather delicate constitution,
who was present at the session, was
wounded at St. Hubert, in the Argonno.
on October 1. A splinter onehalf
inch square and one-eighth inch
thick lodged in the heart, where it
remained four and a half months. On
February 17 Dr. Maurice Beaussenat.
chief of the ambulance in the Rue
Jacques Dulud, Neuilly, undertook to
extract it.
Once the heart was laid open the
difficulties began. The fragment was
yery awkward to catch, and slipped
from the forceps several times before
it could be extracted, but the heart
enntiniiprl tn hoot oil 11
though complications were feared,
everything went well, and the sergeant
could be considered cured a
month after. Members of the academy
were able to see for themselves
that the heart was now acting normally,
and that a cure had been established
beyond all doubt.
Sovereigns and Their Fortunes.
Economy Is advised, even among
cabinet ministers and law officers,
who are asked to diminish their demands
on the public purse. But what
of the monarchs and their Income?
We have heard something of the diminution
of the kaiser's private fortune
owing to the war. But even with
his fifty royal residences and Interests
in all manner of businesses, he has
never been the richest monarch In
the world. That honor has always belonged
to the czar, who on his accession
came Into the Romanoff private
estate, yielding about two millions a
year. Beyond that his "salary"
amounted to another two millions, bemono
nvAfltaKU
abroad. There were small expenses
to be deducted, such as some ?500,000
a year to grand dukes and
duchesses. But when everything had
heen taken Into account, the czar remained
the richest monarch in the
world, far ahead of the Turkish sultan,
with his million and a half, or our
own king, who Is the poorest In pell
and palaces of all the Old World 90

An Ideal Remed
For Nu
Compound of Simple Laxative Herbs
Safe for Ilaby and Mother.
Constipation is a condition tliat nf- i
feets the old, young and middle-!
aged, and most oeoDle at one time!
The most satisfactory spray is linio- tn
sulfur wash When purchased from pi
a reput 'Mo house it is more uniform- 01
ly effective than when boiled accord- a
ing to the old method. Directions for a]
preparing the home-made wash, how- li
ever. will he furnished on request. ol
To prepari the pruy from cotnmer- gi
eial wash, dilute one gallon of the
wash with eight and one-half gallons
of cold water. Ordinarily, one spray
is enough In bad cases, spray as soon a]
as the leaves are off and repeat in le
February. We do not recommend
spraying wnn ims material alter tile ni
buds have Htarted. a<
Lime-sulfur wash will not successfully
control the gloomy and cottony
maple scales so common to maple 111
trees, nor will it successfully control
oyster shell scale of the orchard. For P<
these we recommend heavy oil emul- bi
slons at the rate of one part of the tl
oil to twenty parts of water. Owing
to the variety of oils now being tried hi
out, any one wishing definite informs- A
tion about oils for these pests should s?
write us. Oils bought from standard
houses are generally well emulsified, n
but it is always well to make a separa- t<
tion test as follows: After making up a
the spray ,set one-half tumbler of the c:
mixturo in a quiet place for an hour.
If no separation shows in the form of
light oils coming to the top. the oil ?
is safe to spray according to directions
When a separation takes place,
the manufacturers are always willing
to adjust the matter. I,

the most desirable permanent pasture ^
for South Carolina and Bermuda espe;
eially is recommended by Clemson ^
I College as a pasture grass to all farm- k
ers in this state who are raising cat- g
tie and hogs or who expect to raise a
them. One of the most essential steps r
In any live-stock development Is the
establishment of a good permanent "
pasture. y
Experience has shown that Bermuda
Is the best pasture grau* for the _
South- One of Its valuable qualities
is that It may be planted in practically
any month, the only precaution nec- d
essary in winter being to cover the, *
j roots deeply enough. j 1
In sowing Bermuda grass, it is best | f
j to use the roots. Run turn plow f?ir- ^
rows two feet apart, drop a small root
every two feet in these furrows and
throw one furrow on each planted
row. Allow to grow for one summer, with
only light grazing, and turn un- {
der or otherwise break In Sell, just at
or soon after frost. The long runners F
thus covered will furnish a new plant
the following season from each cover- s
ed joint and you will have an excellent
sod. If done In this way a good
sod can be obtained within two
years at small expense.
If Bermuda grass Is put In this whiter,
bur clover can be added next August.
