HOME MEAT CURING PLANTS
For nearly a century South Georgia fanners
waited on the weather to kill hogs and took the
risk of providence saving their meat. They are
learning better now.
Perhaps one reason is that meat is too valuable
to take any chances. But even before the ad
vance in price, many farmers through this sect
ion had built small plants at home in which their
meat was packed away and artificially cooled.
A few of these plants were constructed on the
community interest plan, three or four farmers
sharing the expense together and using the
mammoth ice box or refrigerator jointly. In
many of the smaller towns the ice manufactur
ing companies enlarged their cold storage faci
lities and stored meats for farmers at a nominal
cost.
Recently, these cold storage plants are being
constructed by communities on a larger scale,
and with the impetus thus given South Georgia
will soon be taking care of its meat crop with
out risk of loss. A Tifton firm constructs an ice
box on lines especially designed for preserv
ing meat in larger quantities and these have had
a large and steadily increasing sale. Many
farmers are constructing refrigerators at home
of simple design and comparatively small cost,
to take care of their meat crops.
The whole movement is one of preservation
prevents waste and heavy loss and should be en
couraged. For after the surplus hog crop is
marketed at the packing plants there is still a
large per cent that the farmer will find it to his
interest to preserve at home.
DEEPEN ST. ANDREWS CHANNEL
[ ' The local Board of Trade is in receipt of a
letter from the St. Andrews Bar Harbor Im
provement organization, at Panama City, Fla.,
- asking aid and co-operation in securing an ap
propriation from Congress to deepen the chan
nel on the bar of St. Andrews Bay to a depth
; pf thirty feet.
i>\. It'is claimed that every shipper in Southwest
Georgia, Southeast Alabama and Central West
( Florida will be benefited by this improvement,
although they may not ship through that port.
It la claimed that the '.deepening of this chan
nel to 22 feet resulted in a reduction of $1 a
bale on the freight rates on cotton to ports
from the sections mentioned, and that a depth
■ pf thirty feet will bring about another general
reduction.
' But aside from the direct benefit to be deriv-
: ed, our people should help our Florida neigh-
• bors to get what they want. The commercial
’ supremacy of the South depends in a large
measure on the improvement of its inland
waterways, the deepening of its port channels
■ and the development of its sea-going trade,
i The improvements at. St. Andrews bar are di-
f rectly along this line, and our people should
' co-operate in getting the measure *hrough.
The practice by attorneys of appealing near-
every criminal case where the accused is con-
cted has had some severe jars recently. Not
jg since a man tried for murder in a South
jrgia county and drew a twenty year sen-
The case was appealed, a new trial
inted and the man convicted of murder and
lung. At their first trial in Colquitt county,
iney and McCracken were given a sentence
!ten years each in the penitentiary. They insis
ted on another deal, ajid the last time drew life
sentences. Their case is to be appealed again
Wp note and should they draw a noose in the
next pot, appeals will not be so popular in their
county hereafter.
’IliePiMiaief
The sale df the tract of IiediEarct timber, in
Dooly county, marks the passing of the last
large tract of virgin pine timber in South Geor
gia- . r
Time was, in the memory of those who are
not yet classed as the “oldest (inhabitants,"
when the stately pine with its verdant plume;
its boughs that restlessly swayed ever in the
soft, South Georgia breeze, was a crowned mon
arch of undisputed reigfi. Over gently rolling
hillsides, green valleys and vast reaches of lev
el plain, he lifted his proud head, bowing only to
the occasional storm and springing bouyantly
again erect .on its passing.
Over all of what is now the rich agricultural
region of South Georgia, except occasionally
along the alluvial river bottoms; from Macon
southward to the Florida everglades; eastward
to Savannah and westward far beyond the Chat
tahoochee, none disputed his sway. Above the
king reared his head of. proud lineage, and be
neath, at his feet, Dame Nature spread a green
carpet of rustling wiregrass—a companion in
his days of regency, likewise a comrade in his
final departure. Up his stately trunk the nim
ble squirrel ran, and in his boughs fed on his sus
taining mast.
Beneath his shade ‘.the wild deer rested; oc
casionally the lean wolf howled, and the bear
stealthily crept on the hunt. Only a few de
cades before, and the monarch looked down on
the Red Man, his hunt, his camp and village;
his wars, and finally his expulsion.
The stockman came, with his cattle and sheep
the wolf disappeared, and the bear moved on—
the Indian was already gone,
distances the axe of the husbandman
the children of the king fell to make for the in
truder shelter and home. Louder and longer
sounded the song of the axe, and the sons of the
pine yielded place to the clearings, that the
children of man might be fed. And the mon
arch looked on, and sighed to the quickening
breeze, foreseeing as so many rulers have seen
afar off, the coming of his end.
By the early settler the pine was little esteem
ed; a bit in passing for the raw building ma
terial afforded, but ruther on the whole regard
ed as an interloper and in the way. Millions
and millions of acres of thickly timbered vir
gin forest were thought of poor value; tracts
were traded for the simplest things of every
day use—a cow and calf, a sow and pigs, a
flint-and-steel rifle, a horse-cart, or other bar
ter, little money being “wasted” in their pur
chase. Whole counties, held under state or
government grants .exacted little care or atten
tion from their owners in distant states, and
squatting was at a premium. (Here is where
the bogus land deed expert got in his work).

startled squirrel stood for a season the weekly
invasion of his premises and departed; the deer
with antlers aloft, sniffed the strange odor on
the once flower-seented breeze and sought, re
fuge in more congenial surroundings. The rat
tling wagons cut first trails and then roads
through the wiregrass;: and on a thousand hill
sides the face of the monarch turned white and
dripped globular tears on the altar of industry.
The Cracker awoke also. At home was a
market for his chickens, his eggs, his vegetables,
and many other things previously held in light
esteem. With the coming of the turpentine
man, the doors of commerce opened to Wire-
grass Georgia and the subjects of His Majesty,
the Pine, found another allegiance.
Close in the wake of the turpentine man came
the lumber manufacturer, with his corps of axe- j wi to tilt around, . .u.uncc of nbout

and grew. Farms occupied the cut-over lands,
and Agriculture arose as a competitor to the sov

And ever, ns the axes rang and the saws
sang, the children of the Pine fell in increasing
numbers. Mule teams, ox-teams, tram-roads
and railroads were busy for nearly half a cen
tury transferring the products of the forests
into the marts of trade, and ever in return flow
a steady stream of money came to enrichen the

Pine had gone the way of all royalty. For this

But at his going, we pause with a sigh of re

a monarch the Pine was a goodly monarch; kind
beneficent, august and royal to the core. His
reign was a just one, and his subjects loyal.

there should be a pine park. Something may

BANK CASHIER IS MISSING
Vienna,'Oct. ‘JO.—The disappearance
of Robert A. Collins, cashier of the Com

An auditor at work on the bo*ks of
the bank is said to have made the dis
covery that Mr. Collins was about |3,500
overdrawn in his uccounts. The audit,
however is not complete. The bank is

Collins was one of the most popular

his mother, are heart-broken over bis dis
appearance and express the belief that he
must have met with foul play.
Collins left a week ago last Tuesday.
He told his fripnds it was learned that he
going to borrow money on which to
make a payment on his home. He promis-
d to return on the following Friday. The
