"I notice from news reports in
the Constitution that the farmers of
/South Georgia are expressing fear
that the continued wurm weather
will prevent their it tiling any more
hogs this year.
"I have for several years pursued
a plan In killing my pigs that ena
bles me to do so In warm weather
as well as during a cold snap. The
method Is as follows:
"I prepared a wooden box 6 ^eet
by 4 feet wide, and about 4 feet
high. I then had made a tin box of
a size six inches smaller ail the way
around than the wooden box.
"1 then pat a thick layer of cot
ton seed hulls on tho bottom' of the
wooden box and along the sldo»,
packing Ice between the bulls and
the tin box, and using a liberal
amount of coarse salt. It took only
200 pounds of Ice to answer this
purpose, and this amount has never
failed to last from a week to ten
days, even In the warmest of weath
er. Particular care, however, most
be exercised -n packing hulls tightly
around the Ice and In the crevice,
between the chunk..
"I then kill my hogs In the morn
ing and have them salted down by
noon. While it Iff warm 'the .alt
will stick better. When night comes
I -spread’ the meat, and the next
morning pack it In the tin box.
“I have done this for som-e time
now, and have yet to lose a single
pice of meat. Last winter, in the
warm weather, I killed several hoge
that averaged over 280 pound).

Two Fishermen Patch Over 1,000.
Probably the largest haul of trout
ever made by two fishermen In just
shout two hours' fishing was the
catch made off the old wreck

1,004 trout were landed. They va

This great fishing drop was dis
covered a few yean ago (by Bruns

been equalled on that coast. During
the past few weeks the flab have
(been so plentiful that It la Impossi
ble for the fishermen to halt their
lines as rapidly as the fish are pulled
In. One of the members of the party
who made the large catch Thursday
reported that a trout woiild bite the
halt before the line could get 10
feet deep In the water.
Many parties hayp been out dur

Atlanta, Feb. 22.—United States
Senator Joseph M. Terrell remains
seriously ill at a private hospital in

Truth to tell, Senator Terrell is
suffering from paralysis, and though
there have been periods of apparent
Improvement since he was stricken
some weeks a^o, the improvement
has never been permanent or satis
factory, and his relatives and
friends in Georgia are mofct uneasy
about him.
Of course, be it plainly understood
nobody has authorized the state*
ment that Senator Terrell will not bo
in the race. He will be in It if he
can. But his friends who are clos

sible.

shortly in formal shape, it-'Will prob
