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.

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.

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.

A new era had dawned, and tjje Monarch Pine had gone the way of all royalty. For this is indeed now a democratic world, and sover eigns reign no more. But at his going, we pause with a sigh of re gret; a glow of admiration. For while he was 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. What a pity that, of the millions once a sight so common as to be ignored, so few specimens are left. Sad that, in every city, small or large, where King Pine once reigned, there “was not preserved a few specimens, that cur posterity might gain an idea of how looked the stately monarch who died that South Georgia might come into its own I Little use now to talk of wastefulness or im providence, but it is with sorrow that we recall too late, that at least a few of the best speci mens should have been saved. At Tifton, fif ty acres preserved in a pine park; at Thom- asville there are a few small timbered estates, but only too few. In every South Georgia town there should be a pine park.

Collins, cashier of the Com mercial^ Bank of Unadilla, nearly two weeks ago, has caused considerable uneasi ness among his friends. 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 fully protected in the apparent shortage by a bond, it is stated here. There has M*en no legal action taken against the •u shier Collins was one of the most popular nen iu Unadilla. He murried a beauti ful woman from Ashhuru and they have child. Mrs. Collins, their child and 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 ifoucy was secured, it is said, and sent to 'nadilla. Failing to return even a week later has caused creditors to bring attachment roccedings to recover as much as possible from bis property.
