FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 7,1921.
NUMBER 12.
ALLOWANCE
For High School
Transportation.
A matter of great interest to high
school pupils of the county is the
latest order of the board of education
in allowing pupils attending the
-eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh
grades in the county high school a
per diem of 15 cents for transporta
tion. Realizing that the benefits of
high, school education have not bden
heretofore equally attainable by itown
.and rural pupils alike, the board has
endeavored to make up in some part
for this inequality by helping those
who do not reside near enough to
the high school to reach it. The al
lowance applies only to pupils living
outside the Fayetteville district 'and
to high school pupils. It is in effect
from the first of September.
With this allowance it will be quite
easy for five or six pupils who live
at some distance from town, to club
• together and arrange for one of their
number to bring the others in a Ford
or otlie’- vehicle, the total of the al
lowances going to pay the one fur
nishing the transportation for the ex
pens 's pantile car.
There We already many pupils
who are taking advantage of this op
portunity to attend high school. Ther
arc probably fifty ,or more jin the
county at this time who would find
it profitable to make some such ar
rangement. Talk with the county
superintendent of schools about it.
LAW MUST
BE UPHELD
Says Judge W. E. H.
Searcy. -
SCHOOL'INSTITUTES AT HOME
Instead of the usual two to five day
institutes that have been held in the
spring heretofore, it is planned that
there shall he a series of One Day In
stitutes in different parts of the coun
ty, to which all the people of the
nearby territory are invited and urged,
followed by two days of technical and
business affairs in the court house at
Fayetteville.
The first meeting will he at the
Wpolsey school house on the morning
of Monday, October 24th. The people
of the nearby districts are expected.
The schools of Inman, Mount Springs,
Dowry, Longino\ Brooks, Mitchell Hill,
and Little Flock will close on this
day and the teachers will be expected
to attend as required in the section of
the code referring to Institute work.
The program at each of these meetings
will be iii charge of Mr. J. 0. Martin,
state school supervisor, and his assist
ants Misses Parker and Myrick.
The second day, Tuesday, October
25th, the place of meeting will be Oak
drove. Wednesday the place will be
Tyrone and Thursday we will swing
aroung to Kenwood. The schools in
the neighborhood of these schools will
be expected to co-operate with their
neighbors to make these dffairs suc
cessful. Letters will be sent to the
different districts giving the details.
On Tuesday the schools at Ebenez-
er, Winona, Rest, and Glen Grove will
close and co-operate with the Oak
Grove school. On Wednesday, the
schools at The Rock, Bethany, Aber
deen, Rocky Mount, Buck Hill, Sandy
Creeki and Union Grove will co-operate
with Tyrone. On Thursday, the Fay
etteville, Hopeful, Robinson |uid neigh
boring districts will meet at Kenwood.
All sessions will begin promptly at
a'me o’clock.
The last two days of the week the
teachers only will be expected to at
tend the session at Fayetteville, in
which business and professional mat
ters only will be discussed. Although
the people are perfectly welcome. The
public is especially urged to attend as
much of the time as possible at the
other sessions the first four days of
the week.
Citizens are to be protected in Fay
ette county says Judge Searcy, and
the whisky business must go from our
midst. Boot-leggers and blockaders,
will get no mercy from the court.
Chain gang sentences to be imposed
in the future and straw bonds to be
eliminated, bonds given in the future
w ill have to be as good as currency.
Law offenders who failed to get
their cases through the last term of
court will face new conditions at the
next term of Fayette’s superior court.
There will be no whiskey sympath
izers in the jury box in the future, in
their place will be able men who value
law and their oath.

POULTRY
FLOCKS
EGGS FROM BACK YARD FLOCK
Owner Should Be Satisfied With No
Less Than Ten Dozen Eggs Per
Hen, Say Experts.
Preyo Hightower, rape, six months
in the gang or $40.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The nverage novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least:
ten dozen eggs per hen u year from his
small Hock in the back yard, say poul
try specialists of the United Stutes De
partment of Agriculture. On the basis
of two hens to euch member of the
family this will give 20 dozen eggs a
year to euch person, which amount is
about half way between the general
average of farm and city consumption.
|No back-yard poultry keeper should be
satisfied with less than this. He should
try, however, to get as much more as
possible.
To provide an egg a day for each
person two hens would huve to lay
183 eggs each a year. This is by no
.means an Impossible average for small
Hocks. It is perhaps not too much to
A Common Mongrel Back Yard Flock
say that in case, where the person at
tending the llock is in a position tc
look after the wants of the birds three
or more times a day an average of
better than thirteen dozen eggs per
hen can be secured i f t he hens are ma
ture and in good condition at the start,
and have the vitality to carry them
through a year of heavy laying.
For the farm the average of 100 eggs
per hen is advised as the lowest that
should be accepted as satisfactory,
while for the back yard 120 Is insisted
upon ns the lowest average, although
in general the conditions in back yards
are less favorable to poultry keeping
than on farms. ’
WHY CULLING IS PROFITABLE
IN THE OTHER
FELLOW'S SHOES
Unculled Flock of 992 Hens Laid 3,576
Eggs in Week and 3,520 With
79 Taken Out.
Jug Of Home Brew Held As Evidence
Norfolk, Va.—“Bang!” The decorous
stillness of police court was (shattered
by a resounding crash. Everyone, in
cluding the judge, arose in the air six
inches. Then there was a 'startled
look around. No murdered body pjiy
upon the floor. Instead a gallon jug
of home brew foamed and sputtered
behind the justice, who was trying a
Mapp act case at the time. The heat
had been too much for the malt. “On
with the case,” said the judge. “The
evidence has spoken for itself,” as a
reminiscent smell pervaded the room.
It is a good plan once in a. while
to "try on the other fellow’s shoes,”
so as to see how they fit. If they
pinch you the s&me as they do him,
or worse, then you will have a bit
.more sympathy for him.
It is easy enough for you, perhaps,
to stand up and talk before the class,
but how about, that bashful fellow
over there in the corner who grows
as red as a beet if you so much as
look at him? Don’t tell such a boy
that he is not interested in the class.
Put yourself in his shoes.
There is a fellow whose folks are
poor; his clothes are threadbare and
faded. Put yourself in his shoes.
Wouldn't you like to have the fellows
crowd around you and give you the
“glad hand,” absolutely blind to those
unsightly garments? You just bet you
would. You wouldn’t want one of the
fellows to come up to you and tell
you that he had a suit at home which
would just fit you. No sir-ee! But
wouldn’t it please you if that same
fellow would tell you about a job
where you could earn a few dollars?
An uncalled flock of fi92 hens lain
3,570 eggs in the week before being
culled, i Seventy-nine weak layers were
cast out. The culled flock of 913 came
right back the next week with n rec
ord of 3,520 eggs, while the 79 culls,
living under precisely similar condi
tions. and doing their very best, were
laying only 85 eggs. The market
lvalue of the eggs layed by .'he culls
was around $3.50. The cost of feed
alone for them at a cent a day for.
'each hen was $5.53 for the week. Fig
ures like these, say the poultry special
ists at the university farm, show the
importance of keeping only the best
layers. Lessons driven home in the
farm bureau’s and extension division's
campaign for frequent culling of flocks
should put/thousands of dollars in the
pockets of poultry raisers.
Keep lime always in reach, plenty of
gravel or grit and a good dry dust
Put your self in the other fellow’s ! bath for the fowls,
shoes and see if kind words help any.
Bells To Toll For Bishop’s Funeral
Nashville, Tenn.—The bell of every
Southern Methodist church within the
confines of the denomination in this
and other lands will toll a requiem
for Bishop Walter R. .Lambuth, the
great missionary leader, at the time of
his funeral in Shanghai, if plans set on
foot by the Southern Methodist board
of missions can be successfully carried
out. Bishop Lambuth died in a hospi
tal in Yokohoma, being in the Orient to
fttold the annual conferences in Sibe
ria, Japan, Korea and China. His burial
will be held in Shanghai, the place of
Us birth. The board of missions has
cabled to inquire the funeral date.
If you see the other fellow likes you
and wants to help you, doesn’t this
make you l'eel that he’s your friend.
“Try on the other fellow’s shoes!”
LIVE WIRE.
Give the growing stock nil they want
to eat. They won't pay unless they
grow, and they can’t grow unless! well
fed.
The turf formed by a pasture land
of native grasses makes an ideal grass
run for all kinds of poultry, old and
young.

HELPS FOR
OUR TOWN
Let Pride Begin At
Home.
We all take pride in our country be
cause it is a great country—the great
est of them all.
But what constitutes this country?
The forests, and the fields, and the
mountains and the valleys, and the
prairies, and the lakes, and the rivers,
and the hamlets, and the villages, and
the towms, and the cities, and all of
the human and other life that exists
therein and thereon.
This town is a part of this country,
and our pride of country should extend
to the community in which we live.
Our individual homes are a part of
this town, and our pride of country and
town should begin with the homes in
which we live.
; If we make them as near perfection
as our resources will permit, then the
town and the state and the country
Reflects the warmtlf and the glory of

We look at the big cities and marvel
at their immensity—at their wealth,
And their enterprise, and their growth.
I But do w'e remember that before
Ihese cities became great they were
Jmall, even as we are?
Their citizens saw the opportunities
that were before them, and were
quick to grasp them. Pride in their
improvements impelled them to press
tion and commerce which are known '
all over the civilized world.
And the root of it all was pride. |
