GEORGIA SHOWS
GREAT PROGRESS IN
CATTLE RAISING
L. J. Moore of Holly Spring Farm
near Covington carried 10 cows to
the National Polled Hereford Show
and Sale in Denver where he com
peted with 60 other exhibitors from
Wyoming, California, Colorado, Ok
lahoma, Texas, lowa, Nebraska,
Mississippi, South Dakota, Kansas
Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Alabama and Illinois.
One of Mr. Moore’s bulls walked
off with the cup as Champion Sale
Bull and sold for $6,500. Also Hol
ly Springs farm did well in other
classes. It showed the best pair of
yearlings, was second in the class
of “females bred and owned by ex
hibitor, was third with “senior
heifer calf,” fourth in the Class of
“best six head,” and fourth in the
class of two-year-old bulls. It was
never out of the money in any class.
This is a wonderful demonstration
of what a great field there’is in
Georgia for cattle raising.
Channing Cope in his Atlanta
Constitution column says:
It hasn’t been -svery long since
Georgia was'ff'ATck’ State and could
not shipr any other State.
been too long since we
thought that a first-class
bull should weight about 400 pounds
and be about the conformation of a
present-day Jersey sterred yearling.
I mean this! Those of us who used
to attend the very early livestock
sales of purebred cattle will easily
recall the runty little bulls we
thought were tops.
“And now comes along our neigh
bor, Dinty Moore, and cops off the
cup for the beslSbull in the sale out
at Denver, Colo., and sells this same
bull to an old-time, established
Western cattle breeder. This sort
of thing was simply unheard of a
few years ago. If you’ll search your
memory you’ll find that it has al
ways been the other way, our folks
had to go West to buy a good ani
mal. Especially beef animals.
“Dr. Milton Jarnigan recently
gave the record of one of Pebble
Hill Plantation’s home-raised Jer
sey bulls and developed the fact
that no other Jersey bull in America
has an equal proud record. And
Dean Chapman of the Agricultural
College has just announced a record
performance of one of their Guern
sey cows. The Georgia record grows
brighter and brighter.
I don’t know of anything of more
importance to our State than such
developments as these. People ljke
to deal with successful people. The
world seeks the champion—always.
Which means that such perform
ances as mentioned above will at
tract national attention to Georgia
and will be the means of bringing
new and permanent people and
money into our State.
The road from livestock obscruri
ty to livestock success is a long and
winding one. But it looks like we
are near the top now. Certainly
we have reached anew plateau.”

wife, a teacher, a large number of
school children, • several patrons.

ful auditorium for the Opening ex
ercises. Brief talks were made by
JvYessrs Benton, Ash, Holder, Pro
fessor Cash and Borders who ha .
long been a trustee of the colored
school in Jefferson. The children
were all well dressed, were much
interested in all the talks and lp
plauded statements that pleased
them.
For several years the school has
been taught in St. Paul A. M. E.
Church, but Superintendent T. T.
Benton, the faculty and pupils were
anxious to have before Christmm*
a session in the new building. The
building was rapidly finished
completion so as to accomplish this
and the new seat of learning on
Monday of this week was ready for
the occasion.
The school building is located on
a high eminence on Gordon street,
on a five acre let bought and paid
for by the colored people, wEo also
made some contribution towards ifci
erection. However, the large part at
the money was furnished by the
County Beard of Education and the
Morris Bryan estate. In appreciation
of this donation and to honor the;
name of Mr.' Bryan, the' school will
be called “The Morris Bryan
School.”
The structure is well planned and
modern. The outer walls are brick,
the floor is cement and the inner
walls plaster. There is suffi
cient light for every room. A hall
extends the entire length of tha
structure with doors opening fracr*
this hail into the five school rooms,
the large and spacious auditorium
and the Home Economics room. The
building is supplied with electricity
water and sewers|*modern desks and
rest rooms. In fact, all equipment
necessary for a modern school..
Grammar, Junior and High
School grades will be taught and
sufficient teachers will be supplied
to meet the requirements of a first
class school.
A. W. Ash, superintendent of Jef
ferson City Schools, will give much
attention and ca.eful supervision tit
this branch of the school system.
Not only the Negro race, but all
citizens of Jefferson are justly proud
of this' commodious, beautiful and
modern school edifice for the chil
dren of the negro population of
Jackson County.
