Ga., May 6.—01 d Bartow county has much to be proud of in her natural resources, her mining wealth, her cotton, her corn and her wheat. A *Her’s is a “goodly heritage” in her sons and daughters, and if the prlce of her children of the present day is an earnest of the future, she can proudly point to them and with Corne lia of old, say: "These are my jewels.” Such were the thoughts of this scribe who was fortunate enough to be "per sonally conducted' 'over the fertile acres of Summerland Poultry farm, where the Orpington chiton is monarch of all he surveys. • • "Tell me,” I said to Miss Dorothy Stiles, who is the power behind the throne in this poultry business, "tell me, please, how you came to take up this work, and how you manager it, and whether you are making it pay, and, in fact, tell me the story of your life.” Before Miss Dorothy tells her tale a few parenthetical remarks will be in or der. Summerland Is the home of Mr. W il llam Henn' Stiles, and is six miles from Cartersvile. in the heart of thd valley through which the Etowah flows. It Is an ancestral home Indeed and in truth, having been in the Stiles family since the Red Man roamed these huis. Hon. W. H. Stiles, the grandfather of the present owner, was commissioner by the government to buy up all this terri tory from the Indians. He was so mi pressed with the beauty of this site that he purchased a large tract of land, and built a brick mansion wnlch stia stands a monument to the substantial work of “the good old days,” and shelters this generation of Stiles. During Lie auministraiion of President Polk, Hon. W. H. Stiles was minister to Austria, and the Stiles name is one that is known throughout thA length and breath of the south. But to proceed with Miss Dorothy’s story: “You know that like Brer Rabbit, I was born an' bred in the briar patch, and I love the country—every bit of it Grandmother and mother taught us at home, and I was never in a school room until I was 14. Then they sent me off to rlalnfield, N. J., to college, and there they surely put me through. "I was there five years and all the time my only thought was to get through and come home to stay. "I graduated two and do you know the folks took up the idea that I was going off to teach? ‘But I knew I wrfs not going away SOUTH WILL WELCOME DESIRABLE SETTLERS MONROE, La., May 6.—Predicting that the resources of she south will pos itively divert the stream of immigration towards this section. G. Grosvenor Dawe, director general of the Southern Commercial Congress, opened his ad ! dress last night to the delegates of the I Louisiana Farm Lands congress on the l subject of "Immigration.” Mr. Dawe declared the south must set ' tie Its acres with desirable Immigra tion in order to prevent the entrance of undesirables. “If we uphold the standard of our I civilisation,” he said, “the south is bound to lead the nation again within a gener lation. The Canadian government spends i vast dums annually to secure selected | immigrants. The south can and should 'do the same. The nation should wel ; come all who will help build a greater i nation upor the governmental Ideas and the south will welcome by the millions those immigrants u’ho meet these re quirements and who will nelp us keep racial purity paramount.” SOUTH CAROLINA T.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1911. from home again to stay, and besides I wasn't cut out for a teacher. *'l decided I would try my hand at raising chickens. THE BEGINNING. —“I just had some Plymouth Rocks and i two or three Buff Orpingtons, and a few common chickens. But I bought a few i settings of Buff Orpington eggs and a small Incubator, and I gradually got j rid of the common hens and nad splen did luck with my Orpingtons. "One day. In the early spring of last ' year, Mr. George Hodgson, of Athens, came out to see father on some busi ness. He noticed my chickens, and sug -1 gested that father get a setting of Black ■ Orpingtons and rftise that stock. “Up to that time w-e had never heard of Black Orpingtons, but we acted up on the advice of Mr. Hodgson and wrote to Dr. Hardman, of Commerce, Tor a set ting of eggs. I must confess I was somewhat staggered at the price of the , setting—llo. “And when only 6 out of the 15 ’ were hatched out, I certainly felt down 1 and out. ’ "There were four cockerels and two pullets, and when I ascertained the price of Black Orpln-gton pullets, I felt that I couldn’t Invest in any more Blacks right then. When the birds were about four months old they were beauties, and as there was a school fair In Cartersville about that time, 1 let my little brother, woo had helpeu me in my poultry work, enter a trio of Blacks. "They were awarded the first prize of $5, and so I did not feel quite such a hankering after that 310 I spent on the eggs. "I went to Savannah for a little visit at Christmas, while I was away. Mr. Hodgson cah»e again. When hd saw those chickens he offered fathet |4O for the six. He also made the propo sition to leave the chickens on the farm adn buy more stock and pay me a salary to take care of them for him. I was so glad to realize my dreams of ‘getting rich quick,’ I cut my visit short, and came home and en tered the chicken business sure enough. "Mr. Hodgson furnishes the capital, and I furnish the labor. At first i could attend to it all by myself, with the help of the little boys In moving the coops and feeding the chicks. But Mr. Hodgson began sending coop after coop of birds from every chicken farm he visited, and my flock kept Increasing and I had bought more Incubators, so I had to have an as sistant. At the end of the first two months Mr. Hodgson employed my OFFICERS ARE NAMED BY AUBURN STUDENTS AUBURN, Ala., May 6.—ln a meeting of the student body In Langdon hall this morning the following officers were elected for 1911-1912: • Robert J. Malone, a popular Birming ham boy, was elected football manager. He is adjutant of the First battalion, cartoonist of the Orange and Blue, and holds a position on the Glomerata board. B. G.

Because the deed to the lot on which the government desires to erect a postoffice building in Burlington contains a clause prohibiting the use of the site for "a barroom or other immoral purposes,” a friendly suit was instituted today by District Attorney Holton to clear the title. The lot was bought several years ago by J. G. Grant from the North Carolina Railroad company, a clause being in serted in the deed at that time stipu lating that the property should revert to the railroad company at any future time if ever used for a barroom or other immoral purposes. The government de sires to purchase the lot from Grant for $8,500 if a clear title can be seccred. DR. PICKENS CLEARED OF MURDER CHARGE ASHEVILLE, N.

HEAVY RAINS GREATLY , DAMAGE COTTON CROP TASHKENT, Asiatic Russia, May Heavy rains and hall storms have ruined the cotton planted in thia district and replanting wIU be necessary. younger sister, Ellse, to help me. and I do all the work now, and it is work, too! But It pays—Mr. Hodgson furnishes all the supplies and equip ment for the business; he pays me a regular salary and a bonus of 2b cents on every Black Orpington I raise. He Is expecting me to raise a thou sand this year—don't you know I hope I'll not disappoint him? Why, 25 cents a chicken? That will be —let me see— -3250. "Well, I won't count my chickens before they are hatched. Elise and 1 wouldn’t mind having a dollar for ea.cn chicken we have raised this year. We have about 700. Come, and I will take you through the yards." We first made a tour of the Bull Orpington settlement. Miss Stiles claims the Buffs as her very own. Ana well she may be proud of her birds. A WONDERFUL LAYER. She has five pens of them—about 36 hens, one of w’nich Is a record-breaker in the laying line. At six months ot age, this pattern of Industry began her life work, and shelled out 180 eggs ere she took her rest. » We used up our entire store of super latives, when we took In the Buffs, so when we reached the Black settlement, we could only stand and wonder, and find our tongues cleaving to the roof of our mouths for adequate language. We had to give it up—the adjective bank was "broke.” There are 58 hens and 12 cockerels. I don’t suppose there are any finer In the United States, nor In the United King dom of Great Britain, either, as for that matter, for there are a number of im ported birds In the yard. Last week Miss Stiles received ,a trio of imported birds from the Owen Farms, Massachusetts. This coop was valued at 3-U0 and when It was taken from the express office, great was the “mlrating” among the unitiated. In the next pen, to the new arrivals from England, were somer that were equally as handsome and were "some punkins” themselves when it came to “pride of birth.” This flock was composed of three hens, and an Imported cockerel from Scotch Plains, N. J., from the farm of William Cook & Sons, originators of the Orpington breed. From Sunswick farm, New Jersey, was another pen. There were two pens from Foxhurst farm, Lime Rock, Conn., and in this gallant array was one "great and reverend seignior” who had a right to strut,, as he was a first prize winner at the great poultry show in Madison Square.

If this record is kept up it will be almost an hour be tween the leaving time of the first and last cars. FUTURE CONTRACTS ARE HELD VALID BY COURT LAURENS, S. C.» May Contracts for the future delivery of cotton at a specified price are valid and cannot be violated either by the farmer or his agent, according to a decision rendered in the common pleas court here today when Cooper and Griffith, cotton deal ers, were awarded a verdict of $5,650 against J. M. Pitts & Bros., of Clinton. The decision was reached by the jury late yesterday afternoon, sealed and opened in court this morning. The testimony in the ease brought out forcibly to what a great extent the far mers and merchants lost on future con tracts during the year 1909. A large amount of cotton was delivered at 10 cents, when the prevailing market price was 15 cents or better. The farmers in many Instances the debt. ASYLUM INMATE . ATTACKED BY NEGRO MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 6. —Attacked by a negro inmate, George Byron Is expected to dfe from Injuries Inflicted with a hoe at the Shelby county poor and Insane asylum, near this city, to day. James Thomas, the negro, was over powered by other inmates of the insti tution. He had been in the asylum four years, but was not believed to be dan gerous. Byron, was farm foreman. there can be no other height to scale, in the poultry world. There were also two pens from Blue Ribbon farm, Columbus, Ind. I must confess these names of places were just simply names to me, but I do not confess my ignorance to the enthusiastic young cicerone as she led the way from pen to pen. I noted the names for the benefit of the potsed ones who might peruse this story. We went through the well-arranged, up-to-date chicken houses. The breeding pen Is a well constructed building, 72x10, 8 feet high in front, and 6 feet In the bear. The house is partitioned off in pens, each having 10x8 house space, the door leading Into a run 40 feet long. 10 feet wide. We peeped into the nests, where the eggs lay like clusters of golden fruit. 1,083 EGGS IN MARCH. Miss Stiles told us In answer to our question, that during the month of March, the harvest from 63 hens was 1,083 eggs. Os course this egg, production was from Buffs and Blacks too. We went into the incubator room. This was the old billiard and pool room, and the erstwhile billiard table was now de voted to the support of the incubators, of which there are 12. (Not all of them are on the table, however). Miss Stiles has three makes of incu bators; from those of 50-egg capacity, up to 140. Her incubators have a capac ity of 700 eggs, and are "loaded” all the time with home-laid eggs. Imagine the hours spent in turning the eggs, morning and night. No wonder Miss Stiles said that she and her sister were busy ,all day, “every day and Sunday, too.” These two do all the work of the poultry farm, and as Is the case in the rural sections of the state, In all the other work of the housekeeping, cooking, ' and milking, there Is nothing for folks to do. but do it themselves. Every morning the coops which shel ter the little chicks are moved for a fresh "scratching place.” It was interest ing to see the many little home-made contrivances for the comfort of the chicks. As Miss Stiles said in her charm ing way: "Folks that live in the coun try have to strike out for themselves, and make things do, or do without.” There were some home-made bran pans, which answered every purpose, and were made of a pie plate and a piece of chicken wire cut to fit the pan. These Miss Stiles keeps filled with bran for the little chicks all the time. She of course lias the sanitary drinking foun- TWO DEATHS CAUSED BY BURNING OF TENEMENT JERSEY CITY, N. J., May 3.—A tene ment house fire here caused the loss of two lives early this morning.

Thirty families barely escaped with their lives from the burning building, but Mrs. Orak Balavak and her daughter were caught on the top floor, where their bodies were found later charred almost beyond recognition. YALE "UNDERGRAD. HAS ENORMOUS APPETITE NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 3.—The ap petite of the average Yale undergradu ate looms large in food statistics com piled by the management of the uni versity dining hall, where 900 students eat three times daily. During the first five months of the college year it took 120,000 quarts of milk, 20,000 quarts of cream and 215,000 fresh eggs to provide for the college boarders.

Crouch, a “dyed in the w’ool” Republican. The envoys of the sheep and wool men will carry a great mass of data to Washington with them. HON. W. D. HAWKINS DEAD HALL REPRESENTATIVE FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga., May 6 Hon. W. D. Hawkins, a representative of Hall county, died at 4 o’clock this morning after an illness of a few weeks.

Coffey, who will prepare questions monthly and mark and grade all papers. tains, and she always has some of them I filled with skim milk for the "babies.” WHAT THEY EAT. She feeds them toasted bread crumbs, rolled fine with a rolling pin; she gives them oat flakes—ground fine—charcoal . and grit are kept before them all the time, as is also green stuff, lettuce, rye, and any eatable green thing. Os course this feeding of the little chicks is going on pretty much all day; the breeding chick ens are fed twice a day, at a. m. with scratch feed, dry bran and at 3 p. m. swelled oats with rice. Green stuff is kept before them all the time. , » Mr. Stiles Is going to put a large part of his land in alfalfa and that and the wheat crop which he will raise will be devoted to the chickens. I almost forgot to mention what was to me a decidedly new wrinkle in "hy giene for hens.” The nests, while made of straw, were plentifully supplied with tobacco stems. And the dust beds had snuff mixed in with the dust. Os course, I wondered why such well regulated high-fliers” were indulging in such demoralizing hab its as this state of things would Indi cate—but I was informed by Miss Stiles that tobacco stems in the nest and snuff in the dupt bath was a panacea and a preventive for many of the ills that hens are heir to. Tim© has away of flying, and as we walked the evening shadows were begin ning to lengthen, and when Miss Elise came through the hall with a feeding bucket on her arm, I knew there were several hundred little chicks waiting for their supper and their bed. so I took leave of the lovely girls and their gen tle mother and started on the homeward trip. The broad acres of Summerland were a beautiful part of the landscape, the tender grene of the trees made a rest ful scene for the eye, the ripple of the historic Etowah and Its gleaming wa ters helped beguile the length of road, and as I journeyed I “mused.” What Miss Dorothy Stiles has already done and is doing thousands of girls all over our southland can do. It is an inspiration to visit Summer land farm. Whether you catch the ’’chicken fever’ ’or not you are impress ed with the -wholesome charm of these daughters of the south, their gentle bearing, their tireless spirit and that indefinable something which belongs to r “A creature not too bright or good For human nature’s daily food.” ANNIE HOPKINS DAVES.
