bt w. t. waters. J*-
BLAKELY. Ga., FeU 25—Farmers
from every point and district in
Farly county, and many from- n«®«-
borlng counties, came in to B, * ke ’ s ’.S**?
urday morning to meet the educations
special at * o’clock, and to incidentally
form the biggest early morning stop
that the special has known. Twenty-five
hundred would be a conservative esti
mate of the total number here.
Every school in the county was rep
resented. too. by the teachers from all
of the 15 school* and by probably -00
scholars from about 10 of the whole
number. Buggies and wagons and » ut °-
mobllss crowded the big space surround
ing the depot.
Farmers were here from as far away
aa 21 miles, but whether from far or
near all were hero at 8 o’clock punctu
ally. The special was hardly less punct
ual despite the fact that .c had made
a LMb-mile run to begin the day’s work
Tbe reputation that the Central rail
way bears for being on time to the min
ute was fully borne out b; its handling
of the special yesterday to Fort Gaines
and from Fort Games to here between
1 and 8 o’clock this morning. W’. W.
Bolineau. trainmaster of the southwest
ern division, and P. P. Smith, of the Al
bany-Lockhart district, who came * bo "‘ d
at Albany this morning, are to be cred
ited with this efficient work.
Prof. 8- J. Smitu. principal of the
Blakely school, introduced Dr. Soule to
the assemblage. AU of Professor Smith s
assistants and practically all the scho-1
ars were here, though this as Saturday
and a school holiday.
B. R. Collins, county school commis
sioner was here at the nead of the coun
ty tea-hero These - ela a meeting after
the trains departed, combining their reg
ular gathering with a special meeting to
discuss the lessens the train brought.
Plans were also ».ade at this meeting
for the county corn club on which ef
fective wo* has already been started.
The train party had the pleasure of
meeting two o, the county teachers who
are winning more than local distinction
by their work in agriculture. Mirs Lo
rina Martin, of the Long Branch school,
four miles from here; and Miss Madge
Williamson, of Brunswick, teacher at the
Rock Hill school, seven miles out in the
country. Both of these young ladeis
have started school gardens <xtd are al
ready attaining remarkable results, hav
ing stirred their respective communities
t o market enthusiasm In support of
their ideas-
It is such work as this that the leaders
in Georgia are giving their heartiest en
couragement. Both Mias Martin and
Miss Williamson have directed their
scholars in the clearing of ground around
tne scho.l bosses, and in the prepara
tion of it for extensive cultivation this
season. Among the best Known and
most successful farmers oi this section
recognised among the crowd here were

Facts for Weak Women
Nine-tenths of sll the sickness of women is due to some derangement or dis
ease of the organs distinctly feminine. Such sickness can be cured—is oared

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
It Makes Weak Women Strong,
Sick Women Well.
It sets directly on the organs affected and is st the same time a general restora

of home. It makes unnecessary the disagreeable questioning, examinations and
local treatment so universally insisted upon by doctors, and so abhorrent to
every modest woman.

those peculiar affections incident to women, but those

Farmers of Lee County
See Farm Train Exhibits
BT W. T. WATERS. JB.
LEESBURG. Ga.. Feb. 25-Practically
all of the white farmers of Lee county
gathered here today to meet the Edu
cational special, which arrived at 12:15
o’clock. Altogether there were probably
I. people in the crowd here, and the
preponderant majority of that number
were negroes.
Les is one of the several counties in
Georgia whose land is owned by holders
of big tracts, the owners preferring to
lease their property rather than sell it
and allow its full development. Judge
H. L. Long, of the city court, who made
the speech of welcome, declares that
the dawn of a new era is already at
hand. He believes that the day of the
big land-holder in Lee county has set,
and that the county is in a fairway to
come into its full measure of prosperity.
He cites one recent deal, which re
sulted in the sale by two owners of
4.000 acres in the southern paqfe of the
county, ana its distribution among 20
white families. Lots of the land in the
county is still held in big tracts, how
ever, and the majority of those owners
live elsewhere.
In Leasburg, the county seat, the edu
cational train found peculiar conditions,
therefore the workers brought a new
•uture to the white farmers here, and
interested In the possibilities of bigger
things.
Judge Long was the spokesman of
welcome, officiating with former Senator
J. P. Calaway, himself a farmer, and
J. R. Long, also a farmer, as well as
county school commissioner. One of the
Journal’s former staff members. Frank
T. Long, greeted- his old acquaintances
aboard the train here in his home town.
He is a son of Judge Long. He has
recuperated almost entirely from a ner
vous byakdown that forced him to
I abandon newspaper work several months
ago.
School Commissioner Long stated that
several of the ten white schools of the
county, which are widely scattered, were
represented here, the Smithville and
Pope schools having especially credit
able delegations present. The day was
Saturday and a holiday and he had not
attempted to require the presence of any
school.
The Lee County Courier, owned by
Judge Long, had given the coming of
I the train much advance publicity and
l had printed and distributed 600 circulars
about it. Prof. C. C. Carlton, princi
pal of the Leesburg school, and his as
sistants and many of the S 3 Children
came aboard here. ,
Berry Wallace, one of the most pro
gressive farmers of the county, was ree
'' ognized among the audience here.
Others were E. B. Martin. W. G. Mar
: tin, H. H. Laramore. J. A. Lipsey, H.

the success of the train’s visit here, de
claring that it contrasted very favorably
indeed with that made here three years
ago, though even on the former occasion
there was manifested cordiality
and interest.

Farmers of Terrell
Give Train Ovation
BT W. T. WATEBS, JB.
DAWSON, Ga., Feb. 25.—Terrell coun
ty’s best farmers, including a 13-year
old youngster who is on record as be
ing entitled to that classification, gath
ered here Friday to meet the educational
special at 12/30 o’clock. Flynn Bridges
was the youthful member. Flynn is
rated next to Joe Stone as the best corn
grower among all the boys of Georgia,
last year he raised 101 1-2 bushels of
corn on an acre at a cost of 26 cents per
bushel. He visited the train as one of
by Joe Stone at a cost of 29 cents per
bushel, as against 102 5-8 bushels raised
the publls of the Dawson public school.
L. C. Hoyl. city attorney, made the
address of Welcome hefe, as spokesman
for the mayor and general council—J. M.
Bell, mayor, and W. A. Davidson, W. R.
Baldwin, F. M. Jennings, T. S. Martin,
councilmen. j
The principal boast of Terrell county
is the corn and cotton growing record
of her farmers. The latter are pros
perous already, and by big crops and
good business are adding to their pros
perity every year. Two ladies contrib
ute materially to this general wealth,
and are recorded among the best farm
ers of the county. They are Mrs. F.
Nasworthy, who is said to have taken
nearly all the prizes at the county fair
last year, and Mrs. S. D. Mercer. Both
of these ladies were interested mem
bers of the train’s big audience of 2,-
000 or 3,000 people here.
County School Commissioner J. W.
F. Lowrey stated that he had not given
the county schools a holiday, but it was
said that several of the schools near
est Dawson had sent representatives to
the train.
The city schools of Dawson were
given a recess during the train’s stay,
by order of Superintendent F. E. Land,
and all the 340 pupils, except those in
the three primary' grades, were march
ed to the train by the eleven members
of the faculty. It was among these
that Flynn Bridges was found by Su
perintendent Land at Prof. J. Phil
Campbell’s request and brought forth
for the photograph. Flynn was a pu
pil at Terrell academy, out in the coun
try, last year.
There were so many proserous farm
ers among the crowd here that it would
be futile to attempt to name all of
them. Following is g partial list, but
only partial. There were many others,
but at least these were recognized: A.

by a large number of its pupils. Prof.
A. W. Strozier, at the head of the faculty
and total enrollment of the Buena Vista

friends farewell last night, and left the
party at Columbus early this morning
when he and Engineer J. L. Ross deliv

at 5 o'clock, to the Central. Captain
Knowles, the second oldest conductor in
the Seaboard’s service, took the assign

his regular run, and thereby played a
practical joke on himself. He took a real
rest, Thursday, however, by running
down the G., F. and A to Colquitt as a
non-working member of the party, paying
for the outing with the sleep he lost last
night.
