HONORING STEPHEN COLLINS FOSTER
•i in
J.n»dL
The people in South Georgia, near Dupont, fitting
ly honored Stephen Collins Foster, author of “Way
I Down Upon The S’wance River” by holding memo
rial services and erecting a big granite boulder to his
memory. The exercises were held near the head of
t{ie Suwanee river and was attended by several hun
dred citizens from that section of the state.
The song about the Suwanee river is known in every
: English speaking land and has been sung by more ar
tists than any other song ever written. The author,
however, so it is said, never saw the Suwatiee river
and the name adopted for the song came about un
expectedly. Mr. Foster had written a song about
“The Old Folks At Home” and was undecided as to
the name for his new song and hunting aroupd
. . through old papers and magazines, finally picked up
o map and his eyes rested on the name of Suwanee
river. He was impressed with the.name and immedi
ately selected the title of: “Way.Down- Upon The
S’vfanee River”. Mr. Foster wrote “My Old Kentucky
Home”, “Old Black Joe”, “Massa’s In The Cold; Cold
Ground,” and "Come Where My Love Lies Dream
ing”, but none of his songs proved ns popular as
“S’wanee River”.
The following are the words of this famous popular
song:
Way down upon do S’wanee nbber
Far, far away,
Dere’s whar mah heart is turnin’ ebber,
Dere’s whar de ole folks stay.
All up an’ down de whole creation
Sadly I roam,
Still longin’ for de ole plantation,
An’ for de ole folks at home.
Chorus—
All de world am sad and dreary
Ebry whar I roatn;
Oh, darkies, how mah heart grows weary.
Far from de ole folks at home.
All roun’ de little farm. I wandered,
When I was young,
Dere many happy hours I squandered,
Many de songs I sung.
When I was playin’ wid my brudder,
Happy was I.
Oh, take me back to m.v kind ole mudder,
' Dere let me live and die.
I
One little hut among de bushes,
One dat I love,
Still sadly to my memory rushes,
No matter whar I rove.
When will I see de been a hummin'
All roun’ de comb,
When will I heah ,de banjos txmmin’
Down in my good old home?
FARMING WILL BECOME PROFITABLE
In this day of diversification of crops, scientific
' farming, dairying, poultry, cattle and hog raising
, I combined, farming can be made as profitable a’ busi-
/ v j ness as any industry. Recently in an address before
^ the New York State Teachers' association, Augustus
' O. Thomas, commissioner of education f >r the state of
Maine, said: "Whenever agriculture becomes prof-
itable in comparison with other industries, the farm
will rehabilitate itself”. That much is true, even in
the eastern section of the country, and in the South
Where crops can be grown the year round, there is no
; >nr ’• reason why it should not be so now. In addition to
; growing cotton, dairying, poultry, cattle and hog
■i‘hi rn f 8 l n B can be made a most profitable adjunct in the
7,:. farming business. Besides, during the winter months,
... „ • -* gritin In i ‘
the farmer can grow winter legumes and grain In ad-
v e dition to keeping up hiB lands and prepare them for the
./»oi new crop. With the side lines bringing in an income
every month of the year, farming can be made one of
j the chief Industries in this section of the country.
Dairying is growing in importance throughout the
U country and now is the time for *h.e Southern farmer
-,7. to take advantage of the opportunities which he is
offered through' this undeveloped industry which is
:yet in-its Incipient stage in the South.
The Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial Appeal in com
menting bn the value “of cows and dairy products,
(' says:
“Differences a great as 51 cents a day In the rc-
tj turns which different Illinois dairy cows pay their
owners over and above the cost of feed have been dis-
fiV covered by J. H. Brock of the University of Illinois,
in summarizing the records of 4,920. cows tested for
S=n milk and butterfat production the last year.
“Those cows in the highest producing group each
-averaged 496.1 pounds of fat for the year and return-
^-^ ed their owners $218 above the cost of feed, or 68
" cents a day a cow. In contrast, cows in the lowest
producing group nad an average of only 121.4 pounds
of butterfat to their credit and paid returns, over and
above the cost of feed, of only $26.07 each. In
other words, they returned just 7 cents a day to be
used in defraying other expenses of production, such
/ as labor, interest on investment, building and equip
ment cost and other miscellaneous items. A third
J class.of cows about midway between the best and the
poorest ones averaged 397.6 pounds of butterfat tor
- t " the year and returned $113.13 more than their feed
\
cost tor the year, or about 31 cents a day."
Farming is not "a six months job,” but there is
something for the farmer to do every day in the year.
. If the farmer applied himself to farming as indus-
trously as do the merchants and bankers to their avo
cations, he would soon become independent and free
from obligations. Farming can be made a profitable
industry and it will become one of the most popular
when our people learn to farm on a business basis in
keeping with the conduct of other lines of business
Court i Decision As
To Passenger Service
SAVANNAH, Ga — A recont'y
published dects'ou of the Alaba
ma Public Service Commission Js
quoted by president J, J. Tolley
of the Central of Georgia Ifoll
way in a statement published to
day as subs’! ant'ating
road’s contention that the opera
tion of nnusued passenger train*
Ir adverRe to the public interest!
The decision was made when the
CommfssJoif acted favorably upon
a pet'tion of the Central tor au-
thor'ty to replace certain local
trains with less expensive motor
bus service to be operated on the
highdays. The excerpt quoted by
Mr. Pelley reads ha follows:
“The evidence In this ease is
substantially l'ke that which has
been offered before the Comm's-
sion In a considerable number of
similar cases within the past few
years. It shows that, with the
improvement of the public roads
and the rap’dly Increas’ng nse of
automobiles for transportation of
the people for re’atively short
distances, particularly private au
tomobiles, the people use the lo
cal passenger trains of the rail
roads less and less. The public
cannot reasonably expect the
rn'lroads to continue the opera-
t'on of such \ocal passenger
trains when .aucb service is not
used and when the use thereof
drops down to a point which
causes the carrier to sustain sub.
stantlal losses. If* the people In.
sist on such trains be’ng cont'n-
ned, notwithstanding such sub
stantial losses, then it can mean
only one thing, namely: rates for
transportation of persons and

railroad Is used, must be made
