Goif No Longer A
Willie-Boys Game
Prominent Atlantans Tak
ing Interest In The Sport
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 14.—Time
was wher go!f in America was re
garded as a pastime fit only for
Willie-boys .and Miss-Nancies:
when the humorous definition of
the sport as a ‘‘hole in the ground
a fool and a crooked stick, ‘‘was
generally accepted by sober mind
ed people, In those old days the
idea of a substantial banker or
farmer or business man playing
golf was an anachronism. Today
it is the most natural thing in the
world.
Sience and experience have de
veloped the fact that golf is a
game worthy of any man’s brains
and muscles. Taft and 1y Cobb,
Woodrow Wilson and Jobn D.
Rockerfeller, Grant and Rice and
Dr. Lyman-Abbott have all got
the bug.
The Atlanta public was not
arcuzed, therefore, when fifty of
Atlanta’s leading business and pro
fessional men, millionaires, multi
millionaires, brilliant lights of the
bench and bar, publicists and
builders, filed a petition in the
superior court to be incorporated
as the “‘Druid Hills Golf Club,”
They have alreadv laid out a won
derfully beautiful section of Druid
Hills for the course, and it will be
ready, handsome cluu-house and
all, next spring,

Sixteen-Year-Old Boy
Gets 154 Bu. Of Corn
Mcßae, October 12 —Clarence
Marchant, the 16 year old son of
J. I. Marchant of Milan R, F, D.
No. 2, Telfair county, has garner
ed 1544 bushels of corn from one
acre, |
The corn was measured by three
responsible men, and the record,
together with a few sample ears,
were exhibited at the Dublin fair.
In speaking of the method of
cultivation and fertilization, Mr.
Marchant says, “I broke the
ground thoroughly with a disc
plow on March 10, and owing to
the excessive rains let it lie until
April 29.
I then opened a furrow with a
middle burster shovel and distri
nuted 30 bushels of green cotton
seed and 600 pounds of 6 per cent
acid in same, On May 18 I gave
1t the first cultivation with a five
scooter Planter, Jr., one round to
the row. On May 27 sided it with
a sweep and on June 8 it was laid
by with the same sweep, using as
a top dressing at that time, 200
pounds of 6%, 100 pounds of muri
ate potash and 50 pounds of nitrate
of soda, six furrows to each row,
thoroughly mixed the fertilizer
with the soil.
“The seasons were fairly good
after the corn was up. Ent'rely
too much rain before that time.”
Mr, Marchant, father of this
voung man, is one of the leading
farmers in this section and owns a
magnificent plantation.
