ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 11.—Rev. Sam
W. Small, of Washington, has complet
ed hisanti-saloon campaign in Georgia,
in connection with the work of the
Georgia league, and has returned north
following a tour which carried him to
Gainesville, Rome, Atlanta, Tifton, Sa
vannah and Columbus.
Dr. Small was accompanied on the
trip by Rev. G. W. Eichelberger, sup
erintendent of the Georgia Anti-Saloon
league. Immense audiences greeted
them everywhere. In many instances
the halls provided were not largs
enough to hold the crowds .
The famous evangelist talked not
only on the liquor question generally,
but discussed the situation in Georgia
declaring that it was particularly dan
gerous to any state for a minority to
rule the majority on any question. He
said there w'ere many legislators i.i
Georgia who “mis-represented,” rather
than represented their counties in the
general assembly.
On the subject of submitting thi
question of prohibition to the people,'
he argued that the question is really
being submitted, indirectly, at every
legislative election, and that the sen
timent of the people is being shown in
the fact that the legislature is getting
dryer and dryer from year to year.
He poured some particularly hot
shot into those whom he said were;
“prohibitionists at home and wet in At
lanta,” who talked with the prohis at
home and worked with the antis at
the state capital.
He was heartily in favor es includ
ing prohibition in the deliberations o f
the extra session. He said that if the
minority of w r ets would quit filibuster
ing, the prohibition law’s could be
passed the first three days, ‘he appro
priations bill the next three days, and
the session could adjourn inside of
eight days.
At Columbus and Savannah he put
the question and large audiences unan
imously instructed their representa
tives to vote for prohibition measures
and asked the governor to put prohi
bition in the call.
Convicts Escape With File.
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 11—The police
are still searching in vain for six
convicts who escaped last night from
the custody of East Point and College
Park authorities.
■ The convicts who were all on the
chaingang, obtained possession of a
file and during the night filed the
chains off, then pried some planks off
the sleeping house and disappeared in
the direction of the woods.

ARLES PLfiNTftT
There is not a single citizen of Sum
ter County who has not heard of and
who does not know of the wonderful
Arles Plantaation, four and one-half
miles north of Americus on the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway. This im
mense fertile farm was formerly
known as the Bagley-Ray Orchard
Company. It was purchased by Mr.
Morgan H. Grace, a wealthy man of
New- York about two years ago, and
thus was commenced one of the most
modern stock farms to be seen in
Southwest Georgia.
Mr. W. T. Calhoun has been put in
charge of this farm as manager. He
has shown his ability in the well laid
plan of this immense farm. There is
scarcely a county in the state of
Georgia which enjoys a better climate
and a more fertile soil, which could be
better suited for diversified farming
tha that of Sumter County, and the
Arles Plantation lies right in the
midst of the best of all the land in the
County.
This plantation is situated in a lat
itude which enjoys the warm breezes
from th e kulg and the bracing frosts
of the north, having an elevation of
38 feet above the sea level. Abundant
water may be found on this farm, in
quantities sufficient for all purposes.
Going north on Lee stree until you
come to the Bagley Road and then out
the Bagley Road about four miles, and
you are at the threshold of one.of the
finest farms in Sumter County. As
you arrive the home of the manager, I
Mr. Calhoun, you will wonder at the I
well kept surroundings of the home
and its pleasant and pleasing picture,
but when you consider that woman
must play some part in the manage j
ment of a large farm like this, you
will know at once that Mrs. Calhoun’-: j
hand has had a large part in making
this home so beautiful to the eye.
In the visit to the farm we were
taken to the dairy first, here we met
Mr. B. L. Dana, into whose charge
this branch of the work is entrusted.
Mr. Dana is an experienced dairy man
and the fruits of his work can be seen
on all sides. ,
In tile dairy will be seen a collec- j
tion of fine Guernesq’s as ever graced
a dairy. They enjoy life in their home
for it is screened and there is not a
single fly to annoy them, and instead
of wearing themselves out brushing
th e Ales off with their tails, they use.
their surplus energy giving more milk
The dairy is built so that it can be ex
tended out to any length and more
cows added from time to time as this
dairy grows. All the floors are of
concrete and this makes them abso
lutely free from filth of any kind.
A record of the production in milk
and butter is hanging framed over
each cow, showing what they produce
from day to day, through the week,
and it is very valuable as a compar
ison sheet, to show whether the cow is
gaining or falling off in her milk. Sev
eral of the cows in this dairy cost
$250.00. The finest cow of the herd is
“Flora Inverness” a blue ribbon cow
at many fairs in South Carolina, hav
ing won the first premium for the
years, 1912, 1913, and 1914, in South
Carolina, and coming second in hun
dreds of other fairs.
This dairy also owns a full blooded
Guernsey bull sired by Amiable Ros
ette's Raider of Waddington Farm.
Wheeling, West Virginia. This animal
is 156 months old and is a beauty, and
will gradually bud into one of the best j
animals in Southwest Georgia, when 1
he completes his growth and attains I
his height and weight.
The animals of the dairy are well
groomed and the barn is washed out
each day and kept scrupulously clear
and sanitary. There is not at tick on
this farm. The cows are examined
each day for ticks. A five months old
calf was shown to the writer weighing
175 pounds. “Some calf.” In making
their butter, there is not a single prep
aration put in same to color it, but
the natural butter fat colors it to per
fecion. The butter and milk house is
also equipped with all the latest ma
chinery and testing appliances. All
milk and butter is tested daily.
The big farm contains about 2.50 J
acres, and there is only 375 acres of
cotton on the entire farm. This shows
that diversification must pay and
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDeR
ON IS A MODEL
Manager Calhoun will convince the
most skeptical that this is the only
way to make money on the farm.
The farm was planted as follows this
year:
900 acres were planted in oats and
wheat.
375 acres in cotton.
530 acres in corn and peanuts.
30 acres in sorghum.
10 acres in tobacco.
15 acres in sweet potatoes.
10 acres in Irish potatoes.
40 acres in rye.
3 acres in ribbon sugar cane.
The rest of the farm is in wood
lands.
This fall this same land has been
planted in red clover, crimson clover,
pea vine hay, and velvet beans where
the other crops grew. There is also 20
acres of burr clover growing fine.
Some time ago Manager Calhoun
thought the best way to harvest his
crop was to buy pigs and turn them
loose in the fields and let them do the
harvesting and thereby make money
out o fthe hogs. To this end 400 head
of 4 to 6 months old pigs were bought
I up in Tennessee and Kentucky, some
of them coming from the finest breeds.
These pigs ar e of the Duroe Jersey,
Poland China and Berkshire strains.
They weigh from 90 to 125 pounds at
this age, this will show you, that Man
ager Calhoun does not believe in feed
ing scrub sotek, with a view to getting
good results. He prefers the best of
i everything on the Arles Plantation
1 and is going to have it.
Where this big farm made 1,200 bales
of cotton last year, they will only
harvest 207 this year. So that you can
I see the Boot Weevil will not bother
I them at all when he comes this way
I Their corn will average 20 bushels to
I the acre. The crop of products raised
j this year were 6,000 bushels of wheat,
I 12,000 bushels of oats, 250 bushels of
1 rye and 900 acres of epa vine hay. The
' peanuts being fed to the hogs in the
' field.
! The department for raising hogs is
filled with the finest brood sows of the
! Duroc Jersey breed that money coull
i buy. There are several, thirteen
months old sows that weigh 300
pounds each. One of the finest boars
ever seen in Georgia has just arrived
several weeks ago, and weighs over
800 pounds. There is one sow in par
ticular that is a beauty, weighing over
I 350 pounds, and is a daughter of De
fender I, and was bought from the
largest hog farm in the world, McKee’s
Brothers, Versailles, Ky.
It will pay any farmer to visit this
model farm and see just what can be
done in this County in farming. What
has been accomplished on the Arles
Plantation can be carried out on any
farm in the State of Georfgia. Try it
one or two years and see if it does not
pay.
We failed to tell you that on 10
acres of tobacco, they raised 1,000
pounds to the acre and Manager Cal
houn says that he will increase his
acreage greatly the coming year, for
he feels that there is big money in
tobacco.
To Manager W. T. Calhoun is all the
praise due for his managing of the big
plantation and his systematizing of the
different departments.

EMORY OPENS WEDNESOAY
WITH GREAT PROSPECTS
EMORY COLLEGE, Oxford, Sept. 11.—
Th e seventy-ninth session of Emory
college, the school o fliberal arts of
Emory university will begin Wednes
day morning, September 15, at 10
o clock. The opening exercises will
be held in Allen Memorial enreh and
will consist of addresses by Chancel
lor Warren A .Candler, Dean W. S
j Elkin, of the school of medicine, and
I President Jas E. Dickey.
The indications are that the attend
. anc e will be considerably larger than
in recent previous years and the stu
dents will come from a wider range of
• territory.
Two new and-interesting features of
the university are to be inaugurated
at Oxford this session. First is the
pre-medical course, which is designed
to prepare students for the medical
school in Atlanta. Second, the acad
emy which will prepare students for
the school of liberal arts —Emory col
lege.
Dr. Elkin’s addfess will be more es
pecially to the pre-medical students,
quite a number of whom have already
made their reservations at the col
lege.
Never in the history of the college
have buildings and grounds been in
neater trim for the reception of stu
dents. Some of the buildings have
been overhauled and extensive addi
tions have been made to apparatus in
chemical, physical and biological lab
oratories.
ENGLISH CLAIM WAR
HAS NOT DISORGANIZED
LONDON, Sept. 11. —Reviewing the
effect of the first year of war on th 3
labor market the Board of Trade Li
bor Gazette says that although the
first shock of war caused much disor
ganization, there is now' very little un
employment except in a few luxury
trades, while in a number of indus
tries, notably coal mining, engineer
ing, ship-building, agriculture and
transport, the demand for labor great
ly exceeds th e supply. In the insuril
trades the percentage of unemploy
ment on August 6 was 1.03 compared
with 3.95 a year ago.
The position of the uninsured trades
also tends to improve. On August 6,
there were 17,274 men and 41,374 wo
men on the registers of the labor ex
changes, against 19,993 and 43,700 re
spectively a month ago.
During the year two and a half mil
lion workpeople have had increases iu
rates of wages or war bonuses
amounting to over two million dollars
a w'eek, or over three shillings per
capita to those benefiting.
