It Is the purpose of the. incorpora tors to use the old Grovada grade, a distance of about nine miles, and tnen move on inward UiaJltl i nod a cross ing of the G., S. & P. The further route of the projected road is yet to be detoi mined. It Is not improbable that sooner or later the Hawkinsville crowd will take th. mattoi up if a connection with Amerlcus.

GEORGIA FARMERS ARE LOSING MONEY Because They Avoid Cattle. Says Tom Hudson. Atlanta, Feb. 2.—Agitation against the meat trust nnd against the In creased cost of living In general, has given the state agricultural depart ment an opportunity to call attention to the fact that It has persistently and continually Urged the farmers and pro ducers of Georgia to raise more cat tle. • The Farmers Institute fo rthe Third Georgia lias every possible advan- Congressional district, planned to be held In Amerlcus during three day- next week, promises to assemble here one of the largest meetings of the farmers of Sumter and suroundlng counties that has gathered In quite a numberof years. Not only will the farmers of the fifteen counties of the Third district come upon the dates mentioned, 10th, 11th and 12th, but those of other counties as well. The Institute as alroady announced, will be conducted under auspices of the State Agricultural College at Ath ens, the speakers attending being se lected largely from ‘he_faculty of that osltlons of late, tnough, does nut lns titut!on. seem to bode well for any assistance I there will doubtless bo other toward the connection oftbls city and I s I eaker3 as well Hawkinsville. It has been gossiped Tlle locaI committee of that the Hawkinsville people would run the road on from Unadlla to By- rontvllle, where It would connect with the A., B & A. This might be an ex cellent chance for Amerlcus to build the much talked of Byromvllle road and connect up with the A., B. & A. and the Hawkinsville & Western at the same time. It Is claimed that there will be suf ficient support for the road In Haw kinsville and the intervening country to assure Its completion at an early date to Unadilla, and probably on to Byromvllle if that route Is selected. Hon. J. P. Brown presided over the recent Hawkinsville meeting and the following directors were chosen: E. B. I.owls, Montezuma; C. C. Duncan. Jr., Perry; C. A. Horne, Unadilla; J. K. I.ivlngston, Cordcle; T. B. Ragan, J. J. Whitfield, E. J. Henry, W. N. l’atsons, P. 11. Lovftjoy, R. S. Ander son, J. J. Harvard aud H E. Coatas, Hawkinsville. The Board of Directors met at once and electod T. B. Ragan president, J, K. I.ivlngston and J. J. Whitfield vlce-prosldonts, nnd If. E. Coates sec retary, treasurer and attorney of the Hawkinsville & Western Railroad Co. It is quite likely that Amerlcus will have two genuine railroad projects up for Its consideration for some time to come, this Byromvllle stretch and the proposed road to the sea at Bruns wick via Ashburn and the several small roads that It Is p-oposed to con nect up between Ashburn and Bruns wick. Whether It will be found possi ble to enlist any capital here, though. Is an unsettled question. So far the-e has been considerable talk but not dis position shown to Invest In any these enterprises. It may be that the time has come when actions will suc ceed words, but that remains to be demonstrated. The coming meeting of the Board of Trade, though, will he of decided Interest, ns at it the Ashburn road will bo presented by those who are behind the movement. arrange ments Messrs. M. B. Council, John A. Cobb and J. M. Callum met yesterday and arranged for the placo of meeting securing the A 1* I. Armory for the three days. Thursday, Friday and Sat urday next. The committee also addressed a let ter to President Soule .of the State College at Athens, requesting that Hon. Hoke Smith be Included among the speakers selected by him to ad dress the Institute, believing that his presence here will greatly Increase the general attendance. It is not known yet, of course, that Mr. Smith will como here, but further announcement tothat end will be awaited with interest. SPOONING MUST STOP AT MOVING PICTURE SHOWS.

FINDS OUR CULTURE IN WOMEN’S HANDS Men Do Nothing But Make the Dollars. tags ns a cattle raising state, says Commissioner T. G. Hudson, who as serts that the producers of the state are simply sleeping over their oppor tunities. And yet he points out the farmer who raises meat enough even for bis own use, Is the exception, rather than the rule of Georgia. “There Is no telling how mnch the state is losing as the result of failure to give more attention to cattle rais ing,' said Captain R. F. Wright, as sistant commissioner of agriculture. “Georgia buys approximately 225 car loads of dressed and cured western meats, every week, at a cost weekly, of about 175,000. It Is easy to fig ure out what that would amount to within a year'* time. “There is no question that a speedy market could be found for every pound of beef that could be raised within the state, and found right here at home. We now have an up to date packing house In Atlanta ready handle the Georgia product, as well as smaller Instlt ttlons of the kind In various parts of the state. “In addition to this there Is anoth er advantage, the fertilization of the land which comes through raising cattle. I kno-v of one farm in this state that cannot be bought for $50 a nacre. Several years ago the same land could have been had for about $25. But cattle raising has enriched It to such a nextent that the annual gross profits from It are In the neigh bor hood of $5,000. “There's money in It. and f cannot understand why more of our people have not taken hold of the cattle in dustry.” ADOPT THE BABY. BUT DO NOT TELL HUBBY I Many Women Pretend In-] fants Are Their Own. STILL THEY GO DR. COOK IS SAID TO BE IN BAD SHAPE Chicago, Ill., Jan. 31. "There are In Chicago today, fully 3,000 husbands fondling Infants that are not tbelr own, but babies adopted by their wives, and the deluded ‘fathers' are none the wiser.” This statement was made by Lyman W. Rodgers, treasurer of the National Maternity Hospital, from which insti tution, he says, some 250 Infants are adopted Into good home* every year. The case which gave rise to In quires concerning such matters was the testimony before a Los Angelea Jurist of Mrs. C. E. Smith of the Cali fornia city, who furnished to Mrs. W. Wilson of that city four children which the latter pretended wore her own. 'It Is rarely that a man wants child that is not of his own blood,' said Mr. Rogeri, “and It some hus bands who are bringing up children knew the truth about them I tremble to think what the consequence would be. “There Is a man In Chicago who Is supposed to be worth millions. lie passes much of.hls time In Europe. It would be a breach of trust to men tion bis name, but It Is a fact that his wife has obtained two babies from one hospital, which he honestly be lieves to be his own. “Again a husband left bis wife af ter an altercation of some kind and went to Indianapolis. “The woman was In despair. She wanted him to come back. An Idea struck her, and she came to the hos pital and adopted a little boy. Then she wired to her husband, and told bim a son had been born to them. He never suspected, but came right back on the next train. “Over the cradle of that Innocent youngster, tbe flesh and blood of a nameless father and mother, husband and wife effected a reconciliation.” We have sold numbers those fine all-wool HART SCHAFFNER A MARX ol LOW PRICE OF TOBACCO CAN’T DISPOSE OF CROP.

New York, Jan. 31.—Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard, has a poor opinion of the culture of the average American man. He told the members of the Boost Club of New York tha the women of this country practically controlled the culture here; tbat the men were too busy making dollars to pay much attention to It, and that they also make a grave mistake In falling to realize their vocations. “Your Joyful, optimistic nnd boost ing attitude is hardly commendable If It means only a flabby, lazy opti mism,” he said. “It Is hardly com mendable unless It means that It real ly cares whether tbe other fellow Is doing his best. Tbe average business man Is too little Interested in any thing outside of his business, and there Is great room here in this coun try for spreading the spirit of op timism In Its best and truest Bense. “The women of this country con trol the culture, unfortunately. The higher Ideals are In tbe care of the women here. The higher culture has been left by the busy business man to the women. This Is unfprtunate Indeed. I do not mean by that that anything should he taken from the women, but ttr-' he men, the busi ness men. should bear their share of the culture, too. When tbe business man here finishes ble day’s work be thlnke he cannot enjoy hlmeelf unless he goes to a comic opera. Even In his vocation he takes a wrong attitude He takes too selfish an Interest In himself and his business. “The haphazard manner in which men drift Into their vocations Is large ly responlsble for this. Each life should be adjusted to a more Ideal view toward vocation. Every voca tion should be looked on In a more Ideal way. Take, for Instance, the school teacher who looks upon her vocation as a hardship and a drudge. It should be looked upon to a far different way—as an Ideal vocation. The business man who simply In bis vocation a means of getting the better of hie fellow man destroy* his power to get eatlefactlon from any thing, and until he begins to Idealise bis vocation he will remain In that condition. We muit fill our live* with Idealism. Our children often go lo school never to learn that to do one’s duty otA must ldesllxs one's life.’ Living in Belgium Under Assumed Name. nOG SALE FEB. 0.

This was learned through a private letter received by a friend of Dr. Cook, trying to organize an expedi tion to go to Greenland to recover tbe instruments and polar records wblch Harry Whitney, of New Havep, Conn., left In a cache at Etab, and to search for the two Eskimos who accompani ed hint on his polar trip.

There Dr. Cook It living under assumed name. “Although crushed by tbe unfortu- ate decision.” writes his friend, "Dr. Cook realises that tbe verdict of Co penhagen disposes of hie claim of having been the first to reach the north polo until be can produce proof more convincing than tbat which has been submitted to and rejected by the Jury wblch be hlmeelf cboee, tbe University of Copenhagen.
