In Raising a High Quality

Engineer R. Lee Meldrlm, of -the
Seaward railway, went to his deata
indeed when his huge engine plunged
to destruction in the .early datwn on
Thursday, although he survived near
ly twenty-four lours thereafter; it"-.
jle'.Crim passed away at. 1 o'clock
Friday morning at his home tiere.
The announcement if his death was
a slock and surprise to hundreds of
friends in Americus, in view of the
rather favorable report of bis condi
tion as given out.
The brave engineer was fully cons
cious until the last hour and conversed
with those about him.
Statements of the extent of his in
juries, as given out from his home
Thursday evening, lent strong hope of
his ultimate recovery, and this but in
creased general surprise when h:s
death was announced a few hour3
thereafter. His Injuries from scaids
’were greater than at first supposed.
The body was prepared for burial
by Mr. F. O. Moore.
The death of this valued employe of
the company and geaial gentleman, is
deeply deplored in Americus, where he
had resided for a number of years,
and was greatly esteemed among a'l.
To the stricken young wife the
deepest sympathy of all here is ex
tended in her bereavement.
In point of service Mr. Meldrim wa3
for many years with the Seaboard
railway, and was always regarded a
among the best and most careful of
its engineers. He was a native of Sa
vannah. and the remains were carried
there last night for interment at seme
hour this afternoon.

Seed crops of sweet corn, garden peas
and beans of good quality are in ever-
increasing demand, and the quantity
needed yearly has become so large
that the seedsman is obliged to have
the major portion of his stock grown
for him by others. Within the past
few years there has been an enormous
increase in the quantity of seeds pro
duced for commercial purposes. This
has been due in- large measure to the
development of seed growing and
handling as a business. There are
now nearly 1,000 seed firms doing bus
iness In the United States. One of
the largest of these uses buildings
with an aggregate $oor space of IS
acres. Thi sspace is much larger than
wag occupied by the entire seed trade
of the country only 50 years ago. The
quality has also vastly Improved re
cently.
Any farmer wbo contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
to consider thoroughly the many ele
ments which enter into profits. Seeds
men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed at very low prices—
even lower than that at which grain of
the species can be sold on tie market.
Such a condition might be due to any
of several causes, but usually rests on
an over-supply, or a demand for an
Inferior product. The gsndral tenden
cy now, however, is decidedly in the
other direction, and both seed dealers
and seed growers can do much by co
operation to further thi3 tendency.

announced that during the continue

be no Sunday sermons lu the church.
Instead, he has arranged a series o!

Paster Smith has decided that the
members of his congregation do not
care to sit through sermons morning
and evening on warm Sundays, and
after consultation with his official
board, it was determined that quite as
