Attorney General Wickersimm Would Open Cell Doors for Offenders. Washington, May 31.-The recent decisions of the Supreme Court in thc Standard Oil and American To bacco Company cases will result in a sweeping attempt to secure crimi nal conviction of the anti-trust law, according to Attorney General Wick ershani, who appeared to-day before tho House committee on expendi tures in the department of justice Mr. Wlckeraham was asked why tho government thus far failed to lodge any "trust magnates" in prison. "Wc have done tho best we could," be said, "but there has been unwil lingness on the part of juries and courts to sentence men to prison un der the anti-trust law. Until the Supreme Court laid down Its definite construction in tho two cases just de cided, this reluctance was well under stood, for the law has always boen open lo question, and has been con strued in different ways by different courts. Juries are becoming more willing now, however, to convict, and judges who have been reluctant to Impose penalties, now have the Su preme Court derisions to sustain them. " Prison Rest Cure, Mr. Wlckershani said be believed prison sentences would lu? the most effective mourn; of enforcing respect for the anti-trust law. Criminal prosecutions pending against the meat packers, milk dealers, grocers, naval stores and window glass com binations, and other alleged violators of the anti-trusl law, he said, would he augmented hy other prosecutions, On this subject, tho government has definite plans. The Cotton ('ases. The attorney general was closely questioned by Mr, Heall as to the cotton cases In New York, but he re fused to disclose the government's future action. Asked why actions were brought against those seeking to eh;vate tho prices of raw cotton rather than against the spinners and the "hoars," who were trying to de press it. Mr. Wlckeraham sahl the government had believed it much easier to reach the seven mon eon trolling the raw cotton pool against vhom it has exact information. " The statute of limitations has not run against the others," he added. "If the government is sustained in this first cotton case the other com binations may bo attacked." "Has there ever been any Inves tigation of the attempt hears to depress cotton prices in New York or New Orleans?" Chairman Beall ask ed. "No; 1 have never had any facts brought to my attention that seemed to show violation of the anti-trust Jaw in such matters." Sto,?s itch'ug instantly.

(AtlHuta Journal, 3d.) After having boon totally blind for 15 years, G. T. Mathis, a 40-year old ex-fanner of Colqultt, Ga., lett tho Wesley Memorial Hospital on Thursday afternoon, and with head erect and linn step walked up Au burn avenue to Peachtree street, not ing with wonderment cars, autos, hurrying people, tall buildings and In fact everything about a common street scone, which is Buch an old story to Atlantlans or to the average visitor, but all absolutely now to him. The maa, who had been In total darkness for the past 15 years was stricken with dumb amazement when for the first time, he saw a trolley car, an automobile, or a building more than four stories in height, and when he saw a number, of women, dressed in fashion's latest garb, hur rying by, he turned to the physician, accompanying him, and asked, in a halting voice, "Are those really women? What have they done to themselves? I never saw a woman who looked like that?" The man's case 1B truly remarka ble. . Seventeen years ago a cata ract formed on the right eye, and the sight of that orb was taken away. Just two years lator, or when the man was barely 25 years of age, aa I other cataract formed on the left eye, and all was darkness. To Seo His Children. Marrlod just a year before his vision first commenced to fall, four little children have Blnce been born to Mr. Mathis, and while the eldest, a little girl, is 9 years of age, he ha? never seen her. Saturday he leaves, alone, for his South Georgia home, and when ho meets his fam ily at the station ho will see for tho first time, his four children and the wife who has been his faithful help meet through the many d^rk years. On the 17th of April Mathis came to the Wesley Memorial Hospital, boi>ing but not believing, that an op eration would restore his vision. Just eight days ago three doctors gathered In the operating room and removed the bandage. which for more than a month had covered tho man's eyes. "Mow many men do yon see in tho room?" was a question. "Three," was the ready answer. "What color is my necktie?'1 was tho next question. "Blue," was the answer, and physicians and patient knew that tile operation had been successful, and that a middle aged man, totally blind, almost from his majority to his 10th year, had regained his sight through modern science. The physicians declare that the operation itself is nothing remarka ble, but this is the only case on rec ord where a man as old as Mr. Mathis, and one who has been blind so long, has regained his eyesight. Middle Aged and Elderly People use Foley Kidney Pills for quick and permanent resulta in all cases of kid ney and bladder troubles, and for painful and annoying Irregularities.

Tho making of an early cotton crop is not so important an Item at present In South Carolina as it will become when the boll weevil has sprout! over the State. It lias been found that there ls almost no cotton produced In South Texas aftor July 20 when boll wee vils are abundant In tho fields. In South Carolina August 1 or a few days later may he safely assumed as tho limit under the same conditions, consequently tho cotton crop will have to be made before that date. Can a South Carolina farmer make a balo of cotton per acre by August 1st? I feel sure that lt can very easily be done. In 1908 the writer planted oue acre In cotton April 28, and by July 28, 90 days later, had fixed beyond the bloom enough bolls to produce five hundred and twenty pounds of lint cotton. Tho cotton waa pickod Septembor 8, six weeks after the 28th of July. It requires from six to seven weeks from the bloom to the open boll. The making ot this early crop waa accomplished as follows: The land was in cow peas in 1907 In January, 1908, lt was plowed with a reversible disc plow to a depth of eight inches. Fifteen tons of ma nure was spread broadcast over tho land and the disc harrow run over lt. April 1st it was laid off In four foot rows and listed with a one horse plow. Later tho middles were run out, and just before planting a section harrow run ?over the land. Tho soil Was In line condition when the planting was done and a stand was secured in a few days. The side harrow was used at once and subse quent shallow cultivations followed rapidly. No commercial fertilizers were used. Nothing unusual or difficult ls needed in making such a crop.. It consists wholly in the art of gottlng a supply of decaying matter in the soil; In preparing a perfect seed bod, finely pulverized, firm, and well supplied with available plant food; planting good seed of a well-bred, . arly or medium early variety; plant ing the latter part of April; not .nore than one-half bushel of seed to the acre and cultivating rapidly to get an early and quick growth. One thousand pounds or more of a good fertilizer can be substituted for the manure lu South Carolina. It is easy, and a bale to the acre can be made before August 1st almost any year. W. R.
