Last week we published and arti
cle headed “How to Cultivate the
Land for Corn.” This article was
copied verbatim from a pamphlet
handed to us, and is known as the
“Williamson Method.” In ab
sence of quotation marks, which
were inadvertently left off, someone
may think the write r endeavored to
appropriate something not his own;
but we desire to say right here that
not one sentence was ours.
We do not intentionally purloin
and we believe in every tub stand
ing on its own bottom, although we
realize, as well as in the case of
some of our friends, that the found
ation is weak, the hoops are rusty,
the old staves have spread, and the
tub is leaking. However, as we go
on through life, we will endeavor
to tighten up the old hoops a little,
chink up some of the cracks, and
make her stand on her own bottom.
We want no staves or hoops belong
ing to other tubs and should she
not be able to stand without them
let her fall.
We glally acknowledge that the
successful organization of this corn
club has been an inspiration to us.
Not only has it taught a valuable
lesson in perseverance, hut has giv

demonstrated what can he done

FRUIT KILLED
BY RECENT COLD
Indications Are That
The Crop Will be
A Total Failure.
Our friend, C. M. Asbell, brought
some little peaches to the Journal
office which were gathered after the
frost Wednesday night of last. week.

the peaches that had blossomed up
to that time were killed.
to seeing his name in print, and
may want to pull the editor’s ear.
However, here goes:
On Nov. 17 your humble servant
penned a few feeble phrases calling
on the farmers of Pulaski to organ
ize a corn club. Our first inspira
tion was derived from the exhibits
of two South Georgia counties at the
State Fair. A farmer from Irwin
produced 164 bushels to the acre,
and one from Thomas county 195
bushels. We thought Pulaski
could do as well.
We called on our friend, the
Hon. Joel T. Deese, to aid us and
he contributed a most valuable ar
ticle on corn growing Dec. Ist.
In the same issue our ever enter
prising Prof. Browning gave us an
inspiring article calling on the
teachers, trustees, and farmers of
Puiaski county to meet at the Coch
ran Opera House Saturday morn
ing, Dec. 3, for the purpose of or
ganizing an Industrial Society.
On Dec. 8 came an ardent appeal
from our well known and enterpris
ing citizen, the Hon. F. D. Wim
berly, entreating the farmers to
come together in a helpful spirit of
co-operation.
All hail to these pioneers in the
movement- Their efforts were
highly commendatory, and will not
be forgotten. The seed sown then
are no doubt bearing fruit now,
but the psychological moment had
not arrived; the organiztion was
slow; our people were not thorough
ly aroused. In the meantime some
of our citizens went to Jefferson
ville and heard an excellent address
by Prof. E. Gentry on corn grow
ing. The agricultural train came
along, and our esteemed citizen,
Dr. J. B. Peacock, became thrilled
with the necessity of organizing a
corn club for our community. He
started in to organize this club with
a determination that knows no
failure. Leaving his business, for
weeks bn up and down these
streets hurling his logical arguments
and forceful appeals at every farm
er who appeared on the streets of
our city. Our fanners rallied to
the support; our pioneers who had
first enlisted came enthusiastically
forward, realizing the psychological
moment had arrived, or the occas
ion and the man had met; and 209
•members attest to the magnificent
results of untiring and continued
"effort.

SMALL WRECK
ON SOUTHERN
Train No. 23 Collides
With Freight Train
Near Jesup.
A number of passengers on South
ern Railway train No. 23, from
Jacksonville to Macon, were slight
ly injured early this morning when
that train collided with an extra
freight train at Leake, a small sta
tion near Jesup. Traffic was de
layed for a short while and the
engine of the passenger train was
considerably damaged.
The passenger was running at a
slow rate of speed and went head
first into the freight train. Several
passengers were bruised and cut as
ihu result of the collision, but none
sufficiently hurt to cause them to
leave the train. A surgeon of tin
railroad boarded the train at East
man and rendered what assistance
necessary.
Those hurt were (). T. Yarbor
ough, of Greeneville, S. C., eye lac
crated; Lem Burch, of Tifton, back
sprained, and Mrs. P. E. McGlus
key, of 91 Johnson Park, Buffalo,
N. Y., neck sprained. A number
of others were more slightly injured
but none seriously.
It is stated that the casualties
would probably have been much
greater bad not the train been run
ning at such a low rate of speed.

offered a helpful hand to the Fann

We again urgently request that
our attention he called to any errors
or omissions. We certainly desire
that every farmer join this club and
help with the good work. If every
man who is already a member will
bring in another member by next
Saturday, our large club will be a
greater club, and you will never re
gret doing that much for your
county.
Below we give the additional 42

JOHNNIE OBERRY
KILLED BY AUTO
Son of an Old Pulaski
Family Run Over
In Macon on Last
Monday.
Johnnie Obcn-y’, aged 14 years,
died at the Macon hospital yester
day afternoon about live o’clock, as
the result of injuries received from
being struck by an automobile driv
en by Jack C. Kemme, at the inter
section of Washington avenue and
Orange street at 3:15 o’clock.
According to those who witnessed
the affair, it was entirely unavoida
ble, and the auto was moving at a
moderate rate of speed when the
accident oecured.
Young Oberry had just mounted
his bicycle, which skidded with
him, as he went to turn the curve
at the corner near the College Hill
Pharmacy, throwing him directly in
front of Mr. Kemme’s auto, the
front wheels of which passed over
his body. The car was stopped
immediately and the injured boy
was taken to the Macon Hospital,
where everything possible was done
for him, but to no avail.
Besides his parents, Johnnie is
survived by one brother, George,
and one sister, Ruth Oberry. The
remains were taken to the old home
of the family at Hawkinsville, Ga.
this morning, and the funeral ser
vices and interment will lie made
there. —Macon Telegraph.
GUMPTION ON THE FARM.
Steady, now! Don’t rush into
the spring work like a “houseafire’’
Take thinigs easy until man and
beast get accustomed to the strain.
When you don’t know just what
to do, go in and have a talk with
your wife and take her advice.
The mountain of work before you
can all be worked off if you keep a
cheery heart and peg away.
A man with a large family can
live better on the farm, where mon
ey grows, than in town, where mon
ey goes.
Take time to look into every pro
ject that is sprung suddenly upon
you. Life’s greatest successes come
out of the most careful considera
tions.
Can’t you fix it so that you will
not have to [buy any garden stuff
this year? Of course you can.
Get right at it now and make the
best garden in town. Surprise your
self and neighbors.
Here is the formuala for treating
seed potatoes to prevent scab; soak
soak the whole seed for two hours
in a mixture of one-half pint of for
malin (formaldehyde) and fifteen
gallons of cold water; dry the seed,
cut and [plant in ground that has
not recently grown potatoes.

GBKMN MCDON
ALD PARDONED
Convicted of Murder
Five years Ago Par
doned By Governor
Brown.
Gordon McDonald, who was con -
victed of killing Colin Cheney and
Hersehel Burns about five years
ago, near Cochran, and was sent
enced to 99 years in the penitenti
ary by Judge Martin of Pulaski
Superior Court, was pardoned by
Governor Brown last Saturday and
is now at home with his father at
Lumber City. He is a son of J.
\V. McDonald, a former citizen of
Pulaski county but now in the em
ploy of the Southern Railway at
Lumber City.
Mr. McDonald’s untiring efforts
to secure a pardon ever since his
son has been incarcerated has at
last met with success, and we cer
tainly hope this son will make a
good law abiding citizen and ever
remain a pleasure and a solace to
the father who was so loyal and un
tiring in his efforts to secure his
liberty.
COCA-COLA IS
INJURING WOMEN
SO SAYS DR. DUNBAR OGDEN. AN
ATLANTA PRESBYTERIAN BIVINE
“We are breaking the bodies of
our women; their tendency toward
the use of Coca-Cola and other false
stimulants”, said Dr. Dunbar Og
den in his Sunday sermon at the
Central Presbyterian church.
“I am terribly impressed with it
as I go thru the business districts
and see the tired shop girls and oth
er women in business. No one can
help noticing the pricticewho keeps
his eyes open. It is growing to be
a menace. It means their energies
are being sapped and they are le
sorting to false stimulants to keep
up the battle of life.”
In commenting on the above the
Atlanta Georgian says. “The use
of Coca- Cola was merely a passing
reference in Dr. Ogdens sermon.
His text were the Bible stories of
Vashti and Ester, the queens of the
ancient Persian king Xerxes, in
which are given two of history’s not
able examples of the true womanly
qualities of self protection and self
sacrifice.
“When Vashti refused to go into
the court at the summons of the
king and make of herself a common
spectacle for a drunken multitude,
she -w as not only standing out for
her deepest right and her highest
principle, the integrity of her wo
manhood, but she was standing out
for the race of men.” said Dr.[t)g
den, “and she taught the lesson
also that in such situations it is not
for a true woman to hesitate.”
In touching upon Esthers sacri
fice and heroic disregard of self, Dr.
Ogden spoke very beautifully of that
ineffiable spirit of self-sacrifice
which renders woman the noblest
creation [of God’s universe.”
NUMBER 42.
SITUATION IN
MEXICO SERIOUS
This is the Opinion of
Baron D’Estournelles
DeConstant.
“There is not the slightest possi
bility of war between the United
States and Japan,” declared Baron
D’Estournelles De Constant, mem
ber of the French Senate and special
representative of the Association for
International Conciliation, who ar
rived in New Orleans Monday.
“As regards an armed Japanese
intervention in Mexico,” said the
baron, in discussing the Mexican
situation with a representative of
the Associated Press. “I think it
is not even worth while to speak
about such a possibility. lam sure
that Japan desires peace as much
as the United States tries to main
tain it in the world. Japan re
quires peace for her national devel
opment, which demands men, time,
and money, the very things which
war would destroy and deprive her
of.
"The Mexican situation is a very
serious one, in so far as the United
States is obliged to maintain order
on her boundary lines and at the
same time observe the most com
plete neutrality in regard to the in
ternal affairs of Mexico.
“It is and always has been very
difficult to conciliate these two def
inite duties, but nobody can sincere
ly doubt that the United States will
accomplish this dual task, because
this work of conciliation is precisely
the work to which the United
States has devoted itself, as far as I
know, for the past twelve years, or
ever since the first conference at
The Hague. Since that time this
country has never missed a single
opportunity to serve the cause of or
der and international justice, and it
is not only the American Govern
ment but the American people
themselves who have had this am
bition and supported it by their
best efforts.”
Referring to the proposed arbi
tration treaty between the United
States and Great Britian, the baron
said:
“As far as Sir Edward Grey’s de
clarations are concerned, they seem
to me quite satisfactory. Indeed,
he says exactly what I think of the
proposal of Mr. Taft: ‘lt is good
because it is directed against no
body.’ I should say that an arbi
tration treaty directed against an
other country is not a peace treaty,
but just the reverse.”
VETERANS ORGANIZE CAMP.
Mr. E. Cook, Sr. has organized a
Confederate Camp at Cochran. He
has already enrolled thirty names.
All Confederate veterans who are
convenient to Cochran are request
ed to send in their names to E.
Cook, Sr. for membership.
This is a noble undertaking and
we feel like the old soldiers will or
ganize a camp that will be a pleas
ure lo them and bring back memo
ries and associations ever dear to
the hearts of those who wore the
Gray.
