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.

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, headed by the Seventeenth regiment military hand and marching in full dress regalia, will meet Col. Theodore j Roosevelt when he conies to Atlanta i October S to deliver the Uncle Re- I mus memorial address at the audi ! torium-armory.

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 the run of a good pasture. They get plenty of water, but it is not neces- A Profitable Flock. 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 One Shown in Illustration Affords Necessary Shelter From Ele ments and Marauders. This turkey house is protection against the elements and marauders, which is very necessary for these birds. The whole front rnay be of wire netting, or enclosed part way, otherwise doors and windows are pro vided as in cut. A ventilator is fixed in the top at the back.

Sliding or rolling doors— one in the rear left open during the day and only enough light for the tur keys to see their way of getting on and off the roosts. DgLjgNgK 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.

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.
