GEORGIAN WILL BE HEARD
AT NATIONAL CONVENTION
Atlanta, Ga., June.—Georgia has
the biggest voice in the National
Democratic Convention, which met at
St. Louis yesterday. It did not come
from any one delegate or the combin
ed delegation from Georgia; in fact,
it was stronger than several dele
gations. “The man with the voice"
was Deve'rcaux F. McClatchey, of At
lanta, who served as reading clerk.
The long-legged, leather-lunged,
brass-throated Georgian, os is known,
has been a star performer in the
Georgia Legislature for several years.
He is now clerk of the Georgia State
Senate. He is vouched for by all men
who have heard him in action as the
posessor of the strongest voice east
of the Rock mountains.
There is said to be a fellow who

lives the life of a recluse somewhere
in Yellowstone Park who amuses him
self every morning and evening by
going out in the valley in front of
his,cabin and shouting so loud that he
shakes off the tops of a few crags and
thereby launches a landslide.
But the Rocky mountain wonder
has never strayed sway from his
haunts, and consequently is not a
competitor of the Georgia fog horn
who was Selected to keep the Demo
cratic delegates informed as to what
transpired on the-St. Louis rostrum.
Devereaux McClatchey can read all
day and finish stronger than he was
at the start, and then if he's given a
real juicy steak and a brief rest spell
he can read for the balance of the ev
ening, and atill get stronger and
stronger.
His voico is like a tug boat whistle.
It starts deep and boomish and the
further it gets the louder and clear
er it booms, so that no person, no
matter how large the convention hall
and no matter how remote the per
son’s seat from the rostrum, can fail
to catch every syllable unless he hap
pens to be stone dead.
Wedding “Fans."
Thoro aro some people who attend
weddings with Just as much enthu
siasm as a baseball or tennis fan,
whothor they aro lnvtted or not, and
soomlngly enjoy the excitement of the
moment and the attendant fuss and
feathers. There are said to be funeral
fans, too; poople who attend funerals
merely out of morbid curiosity. Of
course, the wedding fans are most in
evidence at the big town weddings,
which mark the alliance between two
prominent and wealthy famllios, or the
marriage of an Amorlcon heiress to a
penhtles duke. They are mostly worn-
on, and they attend regularly all of
Atlanta, Ga., June.—When n man
givee his life in order to do something
better than other people have done it,
then the world may look for something
excellent In the product of that man’s
labors.
That is what one man is doing in
South Georgia in order to make the
beat cantaloupe the world has ever
eaten. That man is N. E. Masliburn
of Stone Mountain, ‘Ga., the canta-
I loupe king of Georgia. Mr. Mash-
| burn formerly operated in North
| Georgia, but he discovered that the
reasons, soils and climate operated
' against him in that section and three
years ago moved his operations to the
led pebbly lands of South Georgia
and here he finds the ideal soil, sea
sons and climate for the production
of his ideal cantaloupe—the Fink
Queen—and there he is raising mil
lions of this luscious fruit for the
northern and western markets.
' Mr. Mashburn' operates this busi
ness on a big scale and the indications
. are that this is going to be the great
est season he has ever had in the bus
iness. He docs not trust his acreage
all in' one locality, but scatters out
oiong thy A. B. & A. Railway from
Rockingham to Fitzgerald and from
Fitzgerald to Thomasville, in the
Tift, Colquitt and Thomas, and if far
some reason, the crop in one of these
counties should fail, he may have bet
ter luck in another county. In these
four counties this season, Mr. Masp-
l-urn with his associates has over 2,
b00 acres in Pink Queen cantaloupes
and it is expected that he will ship
somewhat over five hundred car
loads.
In the scientific development of the
Pink Queen cantaloupe, Mr. Mnsh-
burnl is using every agency at his per
sonal command and all the U. S., State
and Railroad agencies he can secure.
The scientific men of the colleges and
field agents are studying with him the
soils, fertilizers, methods of culture
and local conditions, while the rail-
reads are helping him in the methods
of packing, shipping, icing, and quick
transportation, and in the marketing
season, he has forty-eight experts as
sisting him in forty-eight cities of the
United States securing the best prices
that can be had for his high quality
product In each of these forty-
eight cities, is an expert who gives his
entire time to this one product from
Mr. Mnshbum’s fields, and it has be
come a well-known fact that if the
package has the Mnrshbam stamp on
it the price is a little higher than
other shippers get because he insists
that nothing be shipped in his name
that is not superior, it must be ship r
;-cd in his special crate, carrying only
two sizes, 12s and 15s, wrapped in
special preap and guaranteed to be
just what it is represented to be.
Nothing leaves the shipping sheds
with Marshburn’s name unless it hat
