BILL KULCHYCKE Boot & Shoe Hospital I ' | Wl-P m W\n r \ SECOND GROWTH COTTON RAISED Georgia Farmer Covers up Stalks and Gets Second Early Albany, Ga.?Great possibilities for the successful growing cotton under boll weevil conditions are believed by some close observers to lie in "second-year cotton," or cotton grown from the roots of the previous season. The advantage lies in the earlier start which such cotton gets over that is grown from seed, and also from its heavier fruiting. Before the boll weevil nnnpnrpH in -- ?r r?" vv* this section, effort was never made to protect the stubble of cotton through the winter, as it was easier to plant for new growth. Now, however, when the earliest possible start is necessary in order to have the plants well fruited before the weevilsd become so numerous that squares no longer form, the advantage of saving cotton stubble through the winter is beginning to be realized. An experiment on the farm of G. P. Baggs, a successful Mitchell county planter, is being watched with a great deal of interest, and promises remarkable results. Last fall Mr. Baggs set aside two acres of cotton for the experiment, running a plow in the furrows and turning the soil over the cotton roots. In the spring the soil was drawn back from the stubble and cultivation was begun. Those who have seen the field recently state that practically every stalk in the two acres put forth, and that Mr. Baggs has practically a 100 per cent stand. The "stubble" cotton, as it is called, is fruiting remarkably, and the statement is made by those who have seen it that there is several times as much lint per acre in prospect on this experimental patch than in anv other cotton on Mr. Baggs' place. The further advantage of the experiment is seen in the earlier fruiting, it appear-1 I mg now uvai tne stubble cotton will be nearly a month ahead of that for which seed were planted in the spring. What would happen to stubble cotton during a severe winter is a little uncertain. Last winter was unusually mild, and the ground did not freeze a single time in Mitchell county. Things might be different where low temperatures were registered during the winter months, as sometimes happens in this part of the state. However, as* it is a simple matter to turn several inches of soil over stubble in the late fall, a farmer would be little loser even if such pro tection should fail. It is stated that a number of farmers throughout I southwest Georgia will make experi> ments similar to Mr. Baggs' next fall. He is keeping a careful record of his own experiment.

First allow me to say that this, the best thing ever established in this community. is being fought like fire by a few of the less progressive citizens. Lies have been circulated over all of this section of the state concerning it. Men who have sons and daughters and grandchildren as members are abusing it to a bitter degree. The only thing these enemies of ours seem to have against the society is the jokes. [ wish to correct their attitude tow.ird th^ society on this respective point. When we first organized the society we put jokes on the program the same as debates, recitations, readings, etc. But it wasn't long before some of the members, who perhaps were tender hearted, began to get mad and f?y off the handle. One of the members saw fit to trv to have them done away with, if possible, and nut before the society an amendment to have jokes abolished. The members voted on this at an early date and according to the result, jokes are still retained as a part of the program. But for the last several weeks the program committee has not put them on the program. As this is the case we might say jokes have been done away with, although they have never been voted out. The Maple Literary Society is nondenominational, but a threat percentage of the members are Baptists and several of them are members of the Maple church, while others are believers in the Methodist faith. We don't wish to have any .arguments through the papers, but the fact that the society is composed mostly of Maple boys and girls, we don't see why members of other churches should see fit to try to down the society. One preacher who is considered one of the best iit the county, made remarks of an unfavorable nature concerning the society last Saturday night at a meeting of an organization similar to our society, but of another denomination. He stated that the church would never own it. We suppose the meaning of those words was that it was objectionable to the church. At this juncture let me admit that the purpose of the Maple Literary Society is for the up-building of humanity. It learns us how to speak, it helps us to become wise .and to perform the duties of manhood. It gives the young folks a chance to get together and enjoy themselves; not as it has been called, a "giggling school," but in a decent and social, friendly way. It has been told by some of our less respected citizens that those who enfrairpd in si fi<rht t.hnt 1 nr?k snmo time ago were members of the society. I wish to inform the public that this is untrue. One of our members was in this fight, but last Thursday night a motion was made to have him turned out of the society and the motion was overwhelmingly adopted. This society is not composed of boys who are always in trouble and are not worthy of being citizens, but is composed of the most learned and highly respected "boys and girls of Maple school district. The enemies of the society would have the public believe that everybody around Maple is against the society. This is untrue. The society has been recommended very highly by all of the leading citizens of this section. The school authorities are helping us along with. We should not worry. There has never anything been started here but what the back sliders had to break it up. In conclusion I beg to state to the public at large that all you hear about the society is not true, and if you ever chancs to pass through this part of Horry county I assure you thnt vaii will bo enn eiirh a society is an uplift and not a pull a 666 quickly relievos Colds, Constipation, Biliousness and Headaches.

After this recreation cooling refreshments were served. Mr. Parker entertained the crowd with hair-raising ghost stories and the pleasant evening was over.

OPEN A STORE I.?ast week the Herald carried a half page advertiesment of the opening of the store of Banner Bros, on Third avenue, in the store formerly owned by the Conway Bargain House, sold some time ago to F. C. Todd, and occupied until very recently by the Sparks Company.' The Sparks Company vacated the store on the first of July and moved to one of the Collins stores on the eastern side of Main street. After the removal the old wooden floor tlv.it had rotted away in a number of places was removed and a cement floor finished. Banner Bros, had moved in e.arly last week and were opening large quantities of dry goods and notions. They have had a long experience in the dry goods and notions business. back to a community, as some would have you believe. Maple welcomes you. It is the home of some of Horry's best citizens. In passing through our community the public is asked to remember that to some extent the literary socicty is helping it to become the home o?" a more God-fearing people, a people that welcome strangers and a people who advocate and believe in everything for the betterment of the community.
