KLKCTHIC SHOCK KILLS MAN. 22,000 Volts uix- Shot Through the lloilii s of Men. Atlanta. March f.. - Accidental contact of loose electric wire with a transmission cable carrying '22,000 volts, brought almost instant death lo one man, and injured four others, one seriously, yesterday afternoon at 4.15 o'clock on Kennedy street and Majestic avenue, the victims all experienced employees of the Geor gia Hallway and IS loci ric Company. Thc dead man is William W. Schult/, foreman ol' linemen, and the Injured Oscar W. Howell, lineman, fractured skull, serious but not fatal; J. Claud Brown, lineman, burns and bruises; Jack Brown and Jack Robinson, line men, shocked. Howell and J. C. Brown, each at the. lop of 30-fool poles, were thrown lo the ground by the shock. Shultz was on the ground a' tin? wire reel, and .lack Brown and Robinson stood near assisting. The nccident was of a kind never before experienced here. The live linemen, under the direc tion of General Foreman J. W. Wal lace, were engaged in stringing an arc circuit. High overhead from the spot where Schultz and his two com panions wore working runs tho 22,000-volt transmission cable front tho Hull Sluice power plant to the Atlanta Northern Hallway Company. The loose electric wiro which was being strung on tho polos was given a strong, sudden jerk, and the slack, rebounding against the highly' charged transmission cable, sent the saine voltage for Hie fraction of a Bocond I brough the smaller wire. That short contact, carrying with it thc tremendous voltage Lhroughoui thc length of the rebounding wire, sent thc two men from their poles and carried ?i horrible and quick ?death ol' Schultz in seeking its pas sag? Into tile earth.

Call for Help In D?ttling Against loathsome Disenso. Mr. Houtzohu, manager of the tu berculosis exhibit, bas written to mo asking mo, as leader of the Sunshine Society, to help In the fight and to write my views on how to keep down the disease. You know lt was said of Timothy that his goodness began in his grand mother. This fight must begin with the mothers, and now ls the time to save the next generation. Our grand fathers fought for liberty and our fathers for Southern rights. Let us band together and light to make our race strong, physically. morally, mentally ind spiritually. To do this we must be of a strong body. A strong mind seldom is found in a weak body. You farmers know that a poor mother In animals makes poor off spring. The mother should keep her body clean and healthy and morals pure. Many a poor child Inherits immorality from his parents. Think of this-a child being doomed to carry a burden all his life that his mother placed on bim. But, on the other hand, happy ls the man who has a good mother. If the mother ls hgh-toned and loving the children will be. Next to the mother come1' the home, lt does not take a palace to make a happy and Idea! home. The home should be kept clean, the fur niture and other things should be for comfort rather than appearance. The child's bed should be so the sun shine can be on it; each piece of linen aired dally; tho mother should study how ?o feed the child to de velop him carefully; be should be required to sleep plenty, stay tn fresh air and bathe in fresh water freely; his temper controlled; bis play things selected with a view of teaching him to make his play In structive; his Bible must be his first book, and give him plenty of books as play things. Teach him to brush his nails, teeth and hair; teach bim to eat plenty of vegetables. Often children catch disease in the school room. Mere ls a work for the teachers. Require the children to come with clean hands, nails and teeth; teach them not to bring mud In the school room; the lunch bas ket and water bucket should never be in the room with the children; a water cooler should bo in place of the buckets. Every dollar we spend on our school will be well spent. Now, before fall, I want to soo the follow ing things done in tho schools: The well cleaned out and covered so nothing can got in it; If you cannot net tho cooler and a cup for each child, gol a big dipper to lift up tho waler and have a cup to pour ii in to drink, and require the children to wash it out before using. Before starling your child to school get him a cup of some kind and put it in his lunch basket. If the school cannot have a jani tor the children should bo taught to keep lt clean. Don't let old papers be on the ground; plant flowers where the water is thrown out to ab sorb the germs in tho place. Don't let the children exchange gum; I have seen this done often. In one school I visited 1 saw a row of gum on the wall. I asked the children how they knew each other's gum? Have a closet and have a box of limo in it, and require the children to use lt freely. At recess make all the children go out In the fresh air; open every window and let the fresh air into the school room. Invite your doctors to lecture to the children on the care of the body. I have roughly sketched off this as outline, and hope the teachers will HU out and start this work in Oco nee. I want every mother, teacher and landowner ti) write me a card pledging to help koop our country clean. We suggest that the first of April be sot apart as Oconce cleaning-up day. The men should clean out the wells and stables and lots; they should require every tenant to keep a clean hog pen and have a closet, and keep il clean. Dui all tho old till cans in a gully; burn the rags and papers on tho yards. Lot the mot hers kill the bed-bugs and air all the old trunks, quilts; scour, clean np everywhere. Air daily every piece ot' bed linen; lol plenty of fresh air in the rooms. Clean up the ben houses, for hens kept in a nasty house make sickness. Keep all the manure from (be ben bouse swop*, up and put on your Howers. Don't pour oui the water from Mo- wash tubs al the wash place, but put it on your Howers. Kill all poor dogs and cars.

WILLIE OCONEEE FARMER MAKES FAIR TEST. J. II. Harris, of Oconco, Gives Re sults ol' Careful Comparativo Tost of Williamson Plan, Against which ho Pitted His Own System-?lade Good Vichis on Doth, hut Heal the Williamson Pinn in Production and Net Profit-Some Timely Advice. South Union, March 2.-Editor Keowee Courier: According to promise, I will give, for the Information of your many read ers, and especially for my brother farmers of Oconco, the result of my tost with growing corn in 1901). The Intention of the writer was ( 1 ) to give a fair test of tho Williamson method of cultivating corn as com pared with that of the writer, and (2) to see whether we could use a liberal amount of commercial ferti lizer, profitably or not, under corn. This ls noi given for the purpose ot showing an extraordinary yield, but to show that we can raise cheal? corn In this county. The land selected for this purpose was lovel upland, which had been in cultivation lf> years. M was culti vated in cotton the previous year, making a bale per aero. The land was no pet patch, and had no special lin pro vernen t-none except what it has received by a regular system of rotation of crops: Cotton followed by corn and peas, followed by oats, or wheat and peas. The plat of land under considera tion consists of two acres, lying side by side, as near equal In fertility as was possible to secure, measured by C. C. Myers, I). S. Each acre re reived the same kind and amount of fertilizer, consisting of equal parts ot acid phosphate, kallllt and cotton seed meal. Six hundred pounds of the mixturo was used on each acre, with 170 pounds of nitrate of soda at laylng-by time. (Joni was galh erod and weighed by two disinter ested parties. We endeavored to follow the Wil liamson method lo a dot in order lo give it a fair test. In order to dis tinguish, we will rall Williamson "Xo. 1.*' (he oilier "No. 2." Holli acres were broken in January willi two-horso turn-plow, and harrowed. Xo. 1 was laid off in rows li feel wide on the 1st of April and bedded out with two-horse turn-plow; corn was planted in water-furrow 1 I in ches apart on April 10th, witlioi.t any fertilizer, according lo that me thod. Ki rsl cultivation consisted of running weeder and straddle culti vator over corn. On .lune loth 1 applied 300 pounds of fertilizer next to corn in every alternate middle and covered with small turn-plow. On June 18th, applied a like amount In the same manner in the other mid dles, plowing the middles out with same plow; .hine 18th. sided corn with 18-Inch serano; .lune 29th, ap plied HO pounds nitrato of soda in every alternate middle; July 2, treat ed the other middles in like man ner, sowing peas before the plow. This completed cultivation. July 19th, applied 70 pounds nitrate of soda as top dressing. Acre Xo. 2-Rows were laid off with middle-burster, 5 Vfc foot wide. Hi Inches in the drill; planted April 10th, after having applied 100 pounds of acid and kalnlt, and mix ing it with the soil by running a 2 inch scooter in the furrows. Han weeder over corn May 10th. On May 25th, straddled the rows with culti vator, following with Planet, Jr., cul tivator expanded, completing middle at one trip; May 28th, sided with heel-scrape and tbinned; May :5 1st, applied 2 00 pounds cotton seed aural and covered with one furrow ot' I Inch scooter; June I Ot lt, sided with scrape; .June ISth, one trip to each middle with wide scrape; .lune 26th, sided with wide scrape, and ap plied 100 pounds nitrate of soda; sowed peas and plowed them in with cultivator expanded, sf) as lo com plete a middle at one trip, which laid it by level. On July 19th, I applied Tu pounds nitrate of soda on Ibis acre also, but I might say that I don't believe ibis last application added a main more corn to either acre at tins late date, owing to the extreme drought at tbs time, there not being enough moisture to dis solve the nitrate of soda.

We will leave the matter to your! readers to decide for themselves whether or not they can afford to raise cotton to make 'lie money lo pay $1 per bushel for the Western farmer's corn and I "> cents for his meat. We remember reading an ; tide some time since by a fannel who made the assertion that he could j raise corn cheaper than he could af- j ford lo haul il ten miles if it were | given to him. 1 thought at the time i that he was a member of, or al least a flt subject for. the "Ananias Club," hut my mind has undergone some what of a change since. We urge every farmer who hasn't already done so, to take at least one or two acres and make the test and prove to himself how much per acre, and how cheap, he can grow corn. Then he will stop hauling Western corn. We appeal to the farmers of our county who spend so much time "cussing" the meat trust, the grain ? trust, the hay trust, and all other j trusts, to stop patronizing them and j rnise those things at home. Why should he worry about tho high price i of farm products when be bas plenty i for himself and some for his neigh . bor? i>o you see the point? ! Now ls the grandest opportunity ever presented to the Soul bern far I mer who makes farming a "busl I ness." With farm product? of all ; kinds bringing remunerative, and j some fancy, prices, it ls only for the i Southern farmer to grasp the oppor tunity and make the most of lt, for, as we see it. prosperity is just now dawning on the Southern cotton slave. It is evident that we cannot only make "two blades of grass grow where but one grew before," but a dozen blades of grass, a dozen ears of corn, to grow where but one grow before, and all other crops in propor tion- and the end ls not yet In sight.

D O YOU KNOW just what your cotton and corn need, and arc you furnishing it in such quantities as required and tn such shape that the plant can use it ? Suppose you should put the food for your stock in a box, nail it up and place it in their trough-would you ex pect them to thrive and grow fat ? Hardly ! Well, did it ever occur to you that when you use lumpy, badly mixed fertilizers you are putting this same proposi tion up to your crops-offering them plant food in such shape that they can't get to it ? Fertilizers, to do your crops any good, must dissolve in the soil waters. These are constantly in motion, rising to the surface during the day and sinking at night-passing and repassing the roots of the plant, which absorb the food contained in the water-and this is the only way in which the plant can feed. Therefore, when you buy fertilizer, you should do so with the idea of furnishing food for your crop and on the same principle that you should purchase food for your stock. It should not only contain the necessary Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid and Potash, but above all else these should be In soluble form-the mechanical condition of the fertilizer should be such as to permit the plant to absorb every particle of it, and the goods should be manu factured from materials that will not give up their plant food at one time, but furnish a steady supply throughout the entire growing season. This is the fertilizer you should have and can ?et in only one way. It is impossible to produce a goods like this by the dry-mixing of raw materials, whether you do this at home with a shovel and a screen or buy it from someone who has made it the same way-the only differ ence being in the quantity. These materials must be ground to a powder, and it re quires machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it properly. They must then be so manipulated that when complete, you have a compound, each ounce of which is exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too little Potash, while another part would be exactly the opposite-and all of it contain plant food locked up and not available. Remember that the chemical analysis of a fertilizer is no test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pul verize lumps and by the use of various means search ?out the plant food ; your crop can't. You can take an axe, break open the box and get the coru ; your mule can't.
