STATE FEDERATION
OF WOMEN’S CLUBS
Athens. —Preparations are being
being made here for the convention
of the Georgia Federation of Women’s
clubs, which will hold its annual ses
sion here the first week in November.
This is the leading state organiza
tion of the federation in the south,
and a notable representation of Geor
gia women will be present at the con
vention, among the visitors being
Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of
the National Federation of clubs.
Athens has for years been promi
nent in club work, and has flourish
ing chapters of the D. A. R., the IT.
C. V. and a splendid woman’s club,
and has from time to time furnished
officers for the state federation. Com
mittees have been appointed to pre
pare the program for the entertain
ment of the visitors. About 200 of
the most prominent women of the
state are expected to attend the No
vember convention.
NEW CONNECTING RAILROAD
IN SOUTH GEORGIA
Statesboro. —According to officials
of the Savannah, Augusta and North
ern railway work of laying rail will
be started about the middle of Octo
ber on the extension to Stevens Cross
ing, at which place the new road will
connect with the Georgia and Florida
giving a shorter route from Augusta
to Savannah via Statesboro. A corps
of engineers and laborers have been
at work on the grading for some time
and it is stated that this part of the
work is completed and the work of
laying iron would have been started
before this but for the lack of cross
ties, which seem to be scarce in this
section.
THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
PREPARING FOR BIG FIGHT
Atlanta.—The prohibition element
in Atlanta as well as in other parts
of the state, is making plans to wage
a fight on the near-beer saloons at
the next session of the legislature.
As yet these plans are not fully ma
tured but it is considered certain that
every effort will be made to wipe out
what has been termed a “cloak for
blind tigers.” Not only are blind tig
ers in existence, it is claimed, but
the near-beer dealers, it is further de
clared, are violating the law in selling
real beer
The Anti-Saloon league members in
Atlanta, of which there are quite a
large number, headed by State Super
intendent J. B. Richards, are doing a
lot of talking, and it may be stated
without hesitation, that they mean
business as regards a change in the
present near-beer laws, it is pointed
out that crime has decreased in Geor
gia about sixty per cent, since the
state-wide prohibition law was passed
and this in spite of the handicap of
the near-beer saloons. There w ill he a
material change in these figures if the
plans of the Anti-Saloon leaguers are
carried out and there is every indica
tion that they will be.
SAVANNAH’S PLAN FOR
HANDLING COTTON BILLS
Savannah.—Savannah cotton, hank
ing and transportation people believe
that there is now no danger of serious
trouble regarding the financing of
cotton bills of lading. It is understood
that the following plan will be fol
lowed by them and that it will serve
to move the cotton through this port
without hitch as heretofore. It is
believed that the agents of the rail
road and steamship companies will
certify that they have the cotton in
their possession and the banks will
certify that they saw the roads sign
the bills of lading. So far as Savan
nah is concerned there will be a time
and place fixed for the agents of the
transportation lines and the banks
to meet each day and execute the
documents. This, it is taken, certi
fies that the cotton is in hand and is
sufficient guarantee.
TWO CHINESE STUDENTS
AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Athens. —The work of the State
College of Agriculture, headed by Dr.
Andrew M. Soule, has become known
in all portions of the world, and each
year sees students registered for the
agricultural courses who have come
from the Far East and West to study
under the noted educationalist.
During the past week two students
registered from China, one of them
having already completed one year at
the university where he took honors
in his class, J. L. Young of Canton,
China, is the second year student with
Hsung-tung Hwang, who is registered
as a son of Phinling Hwang of Hang
ken, Tooklen, China, is the other Chi
nese student.
Another Chinese student is on the
way to Athens and the authorities
have received notice that there will
be a Japanese student to take the
agricultural course this fall.
Cotton grading, seed selection and
breeding, the culture and fertilizaotion
of cotton seem to be the subjects that
the foreigners desire and last term
there was a full blooded Hindu study
ing at the agricultural college.
Atlanta.—The United States regu
lars stationed at Fort McPherson,

HON. HOKE SMITH WILL
AID RURAL SCHOOLS
Governor-Elect is Greatly Inter
ested in Education.
PRIZES Will BE OFFERED PURLS
Boys Will be Ecconrjged to Raise Core and
Girls Wiil be Taught Cooking,
Sewing and Dairying.
Atlanta. —Hoke Smith is already
planning for the work of organizing
the rural school system of Georgia
into a thorough and effective organ
ization. He has issued a statement
pointing out some of the things to
be done along this line, and he be
lieves the time is ripe for beginning
systematic organization.
He has already commenced such
work in DeKalb county and a few
days ago conferred with the leading
men there about the matter. It is
planned to make DeKalb’s schools a
model for all other counties in the
state by combining all the best fea
tures of school work for the country.
There will be a number of big prize
events next fall, in which Mr. Smith
will head in donating prizes The hoys
will he encouraged to raise corn and
other farm products, good prizes re
warding thes uccessful ones. There
will be contests for the girls in do
mestic science.
"There is no greater work to be
done in Georgia than that of improv
ing the rural schools," said Mr. Smith
in his interview. "The school must
be close to real life if its best work
is to be accomplished. In a number of
counties, in conn’ection with their ru
ral school work, the children do work
at home. Farming, poultry raising,
hog raising and domestic work, under
the supervision of parents and teach
ers. Prizes are offered for the best
production of cotton, corn, etc., by a
boy on a quarter of an acre. Prizes
are offered to the girls for cooking,
sewing and dairying. In this way
school and home life are interwoven.
”1 wish to see the next two years
marked by the greatest possible prog
ress in our rural schools. I believe the
plan I have mentioned is practical
almost anywhere, and I would be
glad to see it introduced in every
county in the state."
BOLL WEEVIL ARRIVES
IN GEORGIA IN 1913
Atlanta. —in a letter received by
State Entomologist Worsham from
the federal bureau of plant industry
at Dallas, it was stated that if the
normal advancement of the boll wee
vil is maintained this cotton scourge
will reach southwest Georgia in the
spring of 1913.
The letter says that the normal
spread of the weevil is at the rate of
65 miles a year and the movement
is continued in an easterly direction.
While stating that this year's ad
vancement reached the southern por
tion of Alabama, the letter asserts
that the line is believed to have mov
ed twenty miles farther east since
the information in the report was
gathered.
GOVERNOR BROWN WILL FARM
AFTER HE RETIRES
Atlanta.—Governor Brown stated
that he had arranged his plans to
spend a few months at his Cherokee
county farm just as soon as his term
of office expires.
"I was up there the other day,"
lie said, "and I am looking forward to
the time when 1 shall be able to spend
this vacation there. It will be really
the first vacation that I have had
since August, 1904, when T first went
on the railroad commission.
"I expect to devote a great deal
of my time to farming, after I am
out of office, as that has always been
one of my strongest inclinations.”
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
IS TALKED IN SAVANNAH
Savannah. —Discussion of the com
mission form of government has
struck Savannah and there appears
to be considerable interest in the
question, applied locally. The Savan
nah trades bodies probably will send
delegates to the city commission con
gress which meets a; Galveston in
November. Acting Mayor Guckan
heimer has taken a decided stand
against the talked-of innovation and
while no very sharp lines have been
I drawn because of it yet it is apparent
taat the public’s mind is open and
ready to learn more of the new form
| of governing cities.
Organization of the rural school
work of Georgia is shortly to become
| one of the greatest factors in the
i state's development, according to
| Hoke Smith.
Irwinton.—At a meeting of the di
rectors of the Irwinton and Mclntyre
| railroad it was decided that the grad
ing of the new railroad start at once,
and a contract with the grading coin
| pauy was closed, work to commence
l at once. This town has for years
been handicapped by no railroad fa
cilities, but now it will rapidly go for
ward. It is proposed to later extend
the road from here to Dublin, -which
will open up vast timber lands and
make possible the mining of the great
chalk fields southeast of here.
RAISING GEESE FOR PROFIT
Eastern Man Gives Interesting and
Minute Details of His Method
From Beginning.
I have been raising geese the last 15
years; only one breed, the Embden,
say 3 a writer in Baltimore American.
I prefer this because of its hardiness,
size, docility and color. The feathers
sell here for five cents above the mar.
ket price for others. I like to have
tbe goslings hatch in April or earlier.
This avoids the hot weather.
Hens are used for hatching. Each is
given six eggs, or if she be large, per
haps seven. The old goose is made to
lay again, but allowed to sit on the
second clutch of eggs. I think geese
better mothers than hens. They are
more solicitous, can care for a greater
number and the gander will also as
sist his mate. When time is almost up
for batching I put the eggs in' luke
warm water and all containing live
goslings will turn. I think the water
softens the shell and causes a better
hatch.
Eggs from the first yehr's laying are
usually not so fertile as later eggs.
They are also fewer in number, and
produce weaker goslings. Geese do
not fail in egg production like bens,
but may be kept for years. If ganders
are kept longer than the third year
they usually become so cross they
cannot be allowed to run with other
fowls.
I keep the young In a small incios
ure till they can walk without turning
on their backs. Then let them have

plenty of water, but it is not neces-

sary that they bathe; better not. I
never leave them out in heavy rains,
for they will open their mouths and
drink enough water to drown.
As soon as fully feathered, in three
or four months, they are ready to pick,
and may be picked every eight weeks.
After the fall picking I begin to feed
grain. When fully feathered they will
be ready for market. If they can
have free access to a plot of corn they
will not allow any of it to go to waste,
and will save trouble of feeding.
HOUSE TO PROTECT TURKEYS

Watch out for the head lice on little
chicks.
Sort out the old hens now and hus
tle them off to market.
An application of equal parts of
lard and kerosene will kill the head
lice.
Increasing the egg production of
hens is accomplished by saving only
the best layers for breeders.
There are five essentials in raising
ducks —muscle, water, shade and
grit—and the
cle.
The Pekin ducks are probably the
best for market, as they command
better prices and look plumper and
better after they are dressed.
Never leave any food around where
the ducks, either young or old, can
pick at it between meals, as they in
this way lose their appetites.
The first use of all food consumed
by fowls is to maintain the body. In
order to produce eggs there must be
a surplus left after the body is prep
erly nourished.
In order that they may better de
velop, the cockerels should now be
separated from the pullets, and the
former given an extra allowance of
food, as they will need it.

Love's Crime.
George was a manly fellow, yet, sur
prising as it may seem, he was guilty
of a grave charge, a criminal offense —
theft, for had he not many timerN
stolen kisses from his fair sweew
heart? J
Maude, one of the most lovable B
girls, was equally guilty as an
sory; she received the stolen property.
Each seemed to have perfect confi
dence in the other, however, and when
sentence was pronounced by a proper
ly qualified official, they decided to
serve their time together.
They remained loyal to the end,
neither making any effort to have
their sentence abrogated or shortened,
but during the course of their long
term together several small offenses
were directly chargeable to them. —J.

over it If we are a little late. It re
minds me of the man who was being
taken to execution. His guards were
greatly exercised over the fact that
they could not possibly get there on
time. ‘Never mind,’ said the poor fel
low, philosophically. ’Don't fuss over
It. The people can wait. There’ll be
nothing doing till I get there.' ’’ —
