Veterans Of The Sixties
Tuesday morning six Confederate
Veterans were noticed sitting on the
same bench in front of The Farmers
Warehouse in Winder. Their ages
totaled 498 years. All of them are
highly respected citizens of this
county and hold the esteem of their
fellows. These veterans with their
ages are as follow-s: R. G. Stewart,
age 83; J. B. Lyle, 85; W. G. Brown,
82; J. S. Davis, 83; Henry Edgar,
81; J. J. Farr, 84. Later Mr. F. M.
Kircus came up and joined them.
His age is 80 years.
We are always ready to welcome
these Confederate heroes. Their line
is rapidly thining, but no soldiers
ever fought braver than these heroes
of the sixties. May God deal gently
with them and may their last days
he full of sunshine and cheer.

To Plant Twelve Acre* In
Watermelon*
Here’s a good news item. Good
because it’s new r s. Good because it
(ills a long felt want. Good because
there are few things better than a
red-meated watermelon. Col. Early
Stark has his plans all made, the
land prepared, the seed bought, and
everything ready to plant 12 acres
in watermelons. They will be plant
ed on the Stark farm, near Nichol
son. Mr. Stark says he plans to
plant and cultivate so that his melons
will be ready for shipment in August.
He has already promised to send the
N’ews editor one of the finest melons
he grows, and we mean to .see to it
that he does not forget that pro
mise.
Well, that is a real news item—
something new. For the first time
in all the history of this immediate
section there will be a dozen acres
planted in watermelons.
Here’s to you, Col. Stark. We
sincerely trust the experiment will
prove to be profitable. If it does it
will be an entering wedge—and ex
ample that others will follow.

RAISING BABY CHICKENS
ON SHARE CROP’ PLAN
(From Atlanta Constitution)
Ever hear of raising chickens on a
share crop basis?
Probably not, although every south
erner who has lived on the farm or
in a small town has heard since in
fancy the expression “share crop
ping,” as referred to the cultivation
of land.
Now, however, thanks to the pN>-
! gressiveness of one Georgia farmer,
who had fought the boll weevil so
(long that the fight had become mono-
Itonous, this term can be applied to
the poultry industry.
About three years ago A. J. Mur
phy who lives at Talmo, a small sta
tion near Gainesville, went into the
poultry business. About a year after
; he had started, he conceived the idea
that it would be of mutual benefit to
both himself and his tenants and
neighbors if he could share the bur
den of raising some of the chickens
hatched from his 10,000 egg capacity
incubator.
Plan of Operation
He therefore arranged a plan by
which he would hatch the chickens,
finance the feeding and marketing of
them and after deducting all expens
es, including the cost of the young
chicks, take one-third of the net pro
fits and give two-thirds to the one
raising them.
The plan has worked in a remark
ably successful manner. According
to Mr. Murphy, who brings all his
poultry products to the Atlanta Muni
cipal market, he puts out the young
chickens in lots varying from 500 to
as high as 2,000. These chicks are
taken by his tenants and neighbors
living within a radius of six or seven
miles of his hatchery. According to
him he has had fully 100 different
partners in this business since he
started it two years ago. Asa usual
thing the renters, as they may be
termed, raised two sets of chickens
each season.
December to June
Mr. Murphy starts his incubator in
December and runs as late as June.
He also buys many day old chicks
and puts these out in the same man
ner as those from his own hatchery.
About 4,000 chicks per week are
placed out on this profit-sharing
basis, having about 1,800 hens.
Asa general rule the chicks he
puts out on a profit-sharing bqsis are
sold as friers, although in some cases
they are raised to maturity.
Some idea of the enormous scale
on which he works may be gained
from the fact that during March he
did no less than SIO,OOO worth of
business in chickens and eggs.
Mr. Murphy is very enthusiastic
over the idea both from his own
point of view and of the benefit it
has afforded many of his tenants and
neighbors in finding an industry that
can in a measure help to combat the
law price of cotton. As an example
he cited two instances where this side
line not only defrayed the living ex
penses but paid the land interest.

Sunday, May Bth, Mothers
Day
The present method of observing
| Mother’s day idea is attributed to
i Miss Anna Jarvis of Virginia, later
'president of the Mother’s Day Inter
national association. Miss Jarvis
was asked by the superintendent of
the Sunday school in which her moth
er had been a leading spirit to ar
range a special program in her
memory. It occurred to Miss Jarvis
that it would be an excellent idea
to give all of the sons and daughters
of the nation an opportunity of pay
ing a tribute to their own mothers,
living mothers as well as those who
have died. Thus, Mother’s day be
came a national annual holiday and
the second Sunday in May was set
aside for its observance. In May,
1914, a resolution was passed by
congress and indorsed by President
Woodrow Wilson, designating Moth
er’s day as a national institution.
“Observe Mother’s day in spirit
and not in mere ostentation,” Miss
Jarvis suggests. “Do some little ser
vice that will mark you as a dutiful
and thoughtful son or daughter.
There is only one thing that is im
portant on this day of days, that is
to remember mother.
“Mother’s day is not a celebration
of maudlin sentiment, but a construc
tive movement seeking greater pro
tection for mothers, children, and
the home. It gives emphasis to the
home as the fountain head of the
nation, and good homes are a great
national blessing. It has been fore
runner of mothers’ pensions, the
maternity act and many other things,
which in the community and the na
tion are blessing lives that need care
and protection.”
Spread of Celebration
Since its inception, the celebration
has spread beyond the expectations
of its founder. At first the observ
ance consisted merely in wearing
flowers, white carnations for mothers
who have died and red carnations for
living mothers. Now the flower is
not necessarily limited to the carna
tion. Asa rule the favorite flower
of one’s mother is worn.
Nor is the observance of Mother’s
day confined to wearing of flowers.
Much more important is the sending
of some remembrance to on’es moth
er and whenever possible, spending
the day with one’s mother. Sons
and daughters have often traveled
many miles in order to be with their
mothers on this day.
In many instances those whose
mothers have died, send flowers or
other remembrances to friendless
mothers in hospitals and institutions.
MR. J. M. HUTCHINS
On Tuesday night, April 12, oc
curred the death of Mr. J. M. Hutch
ins, one of Jackson county's oldest
and best loved citizens. Surrounded
by members of the family and
friends the end came peacefully.
Tired and weary from his seventy
nine years of active life, he welcom
ed the admonition of his Saviour,
“Come unto me all ye that are
weary and heavy laden and I will
give you rest.”
His body was laid to rest at Cabin
Creek church, of which he was a
member for nearly forty years.
He lived a useful and consistent
Christian life.
A dear wife, one brother, five
sons and five daughters survive
| him. These, and a host of grand
children and friends, will greatly
miss him, but his influence for good
will live on in generations that fol
low.
Blessings on his memory.

LIGHTNING PLAYS HIDE AND
SEEK IN MR. MICHAEL’S HOME
Last Thursday afternoon about
l three o’clock during a thunder storm,
I the home of Mr. John Michael, near
jCarither’s Mill, was the focus oT a
j lightning stroke, and many unusual
pranks were played round and about
the home.
Miss Ila Michael, eighteen years
old daughter, who was sitting on the
porch, was rendered unconscious by
the stroke, and burned considerably
on the right side of her body. Her
right shoe was torn from her foot,
and later fragments were found in
the yard.
The family dog was killed in the
yard, and the lightning leaped
through the house slightly injuring
Mrs. Michael, who was in one of the
downstairs rooms. Going hither and
yon, the flash centered the greater
destruction in Miss Michael’s room,
upstairs. Here it ripped the bed in
two, destroyed a table and lamp,
and tore asunder a suitcase contain
ing items of wearing apparel.
After Miss Michael was injured, I
she remained unconscious until elev
en o’clock that night, but the latest
reports of her condition is that she
is getting along nicely.—Walton Tri
bune.
2,679 GEORGIANS DIED DURING
MARCH
Atlanta.—Death claimed 2,679 per
sons in Georgia last month, 77 of
whom were victims of violence.
The morbidity and mortality re
port of the state board of health
showed 29 automobile accident fa
talities, 30 homicides, and 18 sui
cides during March.
Of diseases, nephritis headed the
list in the number' of fatalities, with
802. Heart disease was second with
238, and pneumonia third with 226.
Tuberculosis caused 138 deaths, can
cer 109, influenza 154, social dis
eases 43, measles 17, typhoid fever
15, whooping cough 14, pellagra 28,
malaria 12, smallpox 4, diptheria ,8,
cerebrospinal meningitis 8, dysentery
7, tetanus and polimyelitis 5 each,
septic sore throat 2, and typhus fev
er 1.
The March death rate in Georgia
was given as 1014.1 per 100,000 po
pulation. This is 25 per cent lower,
it was stated, than the rate 1353.9 for
March 1924, the last year for which
complete returns were received.
This big decrease in the death
x-ate for March 1927 is undoubtedly
due in part to incomplete registra
tion, the state board of health de
clared in a statement.
TOLL BRIDGES NOW FREE
Alford’s bridge and Smith-McGee
bridge, spanning the Savannah river
beyond Hartwell, were made free
of toll to traffic at midnight Satur
day.
These bridges were purchased by
the States of South Carolina and
Georgia several months ago, but the
money appropriated by the two states
did not meet the purchase price and
tolls have been collected since that
time to make up the deficit and also
to make repairs. Alford’s Bridge is
on State Route 8, Federal Route 29,
consisting part of the main route,
from Northern and Eastern points to
Atlanta and Florida.

' Presbyterians Hear
Excellent Reports
Of Womens Work
j
| The meeting of the Womans Aux- 1
jiliary pf the Athens Presbytery which
j was held with the Jefferson
terian church on Thursday and Fri
'day of last week was a wonderful
I success in attendance, in the im
'portance of the program rendered,
and in the general interest taken
by the local people.
This was the twentieth year of
the organization of the Preshyterial,
and no session since the first has
exhibited greater interest. There
were almost two hundred visitors in
Jefferson during the session, and the
splendidly prepared program was en
joyed by a large crowd.
The opening session, presided over
Iby Miss Annie Crawford of Athens,
was featured by a welcome address
by Mrs. A. H. Moore, president of
the Jefferson auxiliary; and the re
sponse by Mrs. Morton of Athens, j
The eleven o’clock sermon on
opening day was preached by Rev. j
W. W. Pippin, Jr., of Commerce,
who had for his theme, “The Period
of Preparation,” the text being the
tenth verse of the forty-sixth Psalm,
“The Lord is our refuge and strength j
in time of trouble.”
Each of the five sessions held was
characterized by outstanding talks j
and addresses, and it is impossible'
to name any one that was paramount [
to the other.
Following the beautiful pageant
given on Thursday evening by the
young people of Jefferson, which
elicited much favorable comment
and praise, Rev. Frank Baker, a re
turned missionary, addressed the
congregation on Brazil, in a manner
that was of genuine interest to all 1
of his hearers.
Another special part of the pro
gram was a talk by Rev. Allen, on
Miss Charlotte Kemper. He told of
the beautiful memorial that is being '
erected in her honor, a memorial she
will never see because of the loss |
of her eyesight. Miss Kemper is a |
missionary in China. She was 45
years of age before she gave her
life to this work; she studied the I
Hebrew language at the age of 60,
and is now 90 years of age. The
Presbyterians are now erecting a
building at the school she establish
ed in China.
The address of Mr. Allen was'
j especially interesting to Jeffersonians,
as he once served the church at this
place, later going as a missionary to
China.
Interesting messages were brought
to the meeting by several ladies of
the Presbyterial, some in song, some
in prayer, and others in talks and
addresses.
The Presbyterial text was read by
Miss Edith Hodgson of Athens. This
text, taken from the book of Mala
chi, is, “Bring ye all of the tithes
into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in mine house and prove me
now herewith, saith the Lord of
Host, if I will not open you the
windows of Heaven and pour out a
blessing that there shall not be j
room enough to receive it.”
The delegates were hospitably en
tertained by the Jefferson Presby
terians, and the citizens generally
rejoiced at their presence here.
The next meeting of the Presby- j
terial will be held with the First
Presbyterian church in Athens.
