Cruelty to Animals
Is a crime in Georgia, yet no
one hardly ever thinks of becom
ing prosecutor in a case of this
kind where a man ts actually guil
ty of the most revolting acts along
this line. One will drive a horse
“in an inch of his life’’ with no
provocation for doing so hut that
some fellow with more curiosity
than brains just wanted to see
how long his horse could hold his
gait, or if his horse could not
make a iit tie “better record”than
some other fellow’s horse had
made. Another will not over
drive or work his horse lnit will
actually starve him to death.
Now, are not both of these'
cases of cruelty to animals ? No
one would deny this who is not
guilty of the crime himself. Our
faithful friends should not be sub
jected to such extremely inhu
mane treatment , and if our grand
juiies would always do their full
duly no doubt but that some of
these extreme cases would serve
as a check on this reckless, care
less and unconcerned element who
so cruelly torture our faithful and
ever patient friends.
The Key Note to Success
In fanning is diversification.Do
you believe this? Well, if you do
happy are you if you diversify.
If you tire however one ol those
who belong to the one-crop band
it will pay you to take a few days
off occasionally, visit an up-to
date farm where systematic diver
sification is practiced and see just
how much such a farm is ahead ol
yours.
October Is the Mouth
For planting oats. The land
should be first well prepared by
deep breaking something like two
weeks before the seed are harrow
ed in. Plenty of suitable fertil
izer should he used. The yield
under such circumstances would
then lie such as to give you a sut
isfactorv profit and leave your
land m fine condition to make
you an excellent hay crop after
the oats are cut. If you have not
tried raising oats for profit sup
pose you try it, and “if at first
you don’t succeed try try again,”
and you will soon find that there
is money in an oat crop.
It is interesting to know that
where oats are gumi proper chance
in this section of our state they
prove t hat our section is ahead of
many sections of our state as an
oat producing section. Our soil
and climate being especially
adapted to them we should press
this advantage to a profitable con
clusion.
The Raising of Slock and Cattle
Shot!bl be stimulated consider
ably by an increase in acreage de
voted to grain atul forage crops.
The advantage that nature has
given us over other sections would
easily place South Georgia in that
class of stock and cattle raising
states that take high rank as such
if proper attention was given to
this matter.
The Ntghi Riders
Have made an unenviable repu
tation for themselves out in some
of the tobacco growing states. The
recent threats from unknown
sources against operators of gins
have caus' d some little specula
tion as to the attitude of the
farmers' Union with reference to
these bands of outlaws. We there
fore unhesitatingly say that the
Farmers’ Uui<>n stands firmly for
law and order. Its members do
not believe m any such wholesale
disregard for law, the peace and
the prosperity of th- good citizens
of any section as has been the case
in some of the tobacco growing
states. W’e in our belief
that no go >d- possibly come
from the night-rider theory of re
formation and the law should be
firmly enforced against- such vio
lators. *

What the Farmer Needs
Is not so much of that paternal
assistance from the government
that would destroy self-reliance
and individuality but that pro
tection and assistance that would
give him only an equal chance at
success along with others inter*
tested in attrinmg success. Give,
the farmer a square deal. This
much he deserves. In order for
him to attain the highest success
he must have that “square deal”
that we American people boast, so
much of giving to all.
A Merchant Was Heard to Say
Recently of a farmer who owns
his own property and who should
be rated “good” in the business
world, “I’ll give that man 121 c
per pound for that bale of cotton
{if he will apply it to his account
which should have been paid long
j since.” Now, such remarks as
that must mean something when
cotton is selling for only BJc. No
farmer should be willing for the
merchant who has furnished him
during the year to have such little
confidence in him as to he willing
for the merchant to pay him 12\e
for his cotton when it is worth
only 8-Jc. You’ll need your credit
some other time, Mr. Farmer. So
do not. allow it to “cool off” too
much. It may give you trouble
:to get it in good working order
;again. If anypody must see trou
ble about the time it i 9 time to
pay let it. be yourself and not the
merchant.
Farmers Should Be Organized
Just as doctors, lawyers and
others. We have long since learn
ed that there is advantage in be
ing organized. No farmer there
fore should he willing to remain
j out of the Farmers’ Union. Every
| farmer can he of some benefit in
the organization and the organi
zation can be of some benefit to
every farmer provided the farmer
is made of the kind of timber
Union men are made of.
COTTON GROWS AFTER PICKING-
It is an established fact that
I hot on cotton seed grows some
after it is picked and housed.
Many farmers in Washington
| county are aware of this and some
of them keep their cotton housed
| before sending it to the gin in
order to get. the benifit of this
second growth. The lint comes
from the seed and it is reasonable
to suppose that it does not cease
to grow immediately after it is
picked from the stalk. The
Hawkinsville Dispatch and News
contains an article on this subject
which will lie found below:
“It will perhaps be news to
some farmers to know that if
they will pick their cotton and
put it in a house and allow it to
remain some time before ginning
it, it will gain a considerable
amount in iveight. Our authority
for making this statement is Mr.
I F, G. Fleming, one of our best
I tanners,and whose veracity is un
; questioned. Mr. Fleming says
that he housed seven bales of
seed cotton and k>pt it about six
weeks and when he had it. ginned
it turned out eight bales. Mr.
Fleming says that for fear he
might have made some mistake
lin weighing the cotton he tried
the experiment another year with
the same result. A saving of one
bale out of every seven is quite an
item and other farmers might
j find it profitable to adopt this
I plan.” —Sandersville Progress.

MASONS WANT REDUCED
RATES TO MACON.
Grand Secretary W. A. Wolihin
has made request for reduced rates
over tho railroads to Macon on ac
count of the annual convention
of the Grand Lodge which will he
held in that city on the 27-28-29
of the present, month, October.
The membership of the Grand
Lodge is now over 30,000. Macon
has been the home ol the state
officers of the Grand Lodge for
many years and at the coming
convention steps will he oaken to
wards securing a new Masonic
temple. The present building is
an antiquated affair and by far
too small for the big meetings.
BE ABOVE THE AVERAGE.
Do not content yourself with
being an average farmer. Do some
thing better than any other fann
er. Set the standard in some part
of your work. Experiment on
one acre, if you won’t give more
to the experiment, and report the
! results. What Parrish Furman
did twenty years ago, can be done
again and again—that is, bring
ing up a farm that is below the
average m cotton production, un
til it is ahead of the average. Do
not content yourself with an av
erage corn crop. Average corn
crops in the South do not pay,but
corn ciiltun in the South will pay.
Hog raising will pay, but the hog
must he raised economically Ram*'
better hogs than your neighbor-,
and tell them that nothing helps
you as much us Home and Farm
to make farming pay, for it is the
recorded experience of one hun
dred thousand farmers throughout
America. —Home and Farm.

TURNPIKE BRIDGE FALLS THROUGH.
Mr. W. E. Murrah was here
yesterday and he told us of the
bridge over Turnpike on the N« * illy
and Scotland road falling through
with the wagon of Mr. J. B. Loyd
who was hauling cotton for him
Tuesday. The wagon was carrying
three bales of cotton and Loyd
noticed that the bridge seemed
; weak and he got down off the cot
ton and was leading his mules
when the crash carne. One of the
mules got, out alright, but the
wagon and one bale of cotton fell
on the other. Mr. Murrah was
suffering considerably yesterday
on account of the over exer
tion in extricating the mule. The
mule was hurt considerably he sta
ted but not seriously injured
as he was walking at out Wednes
day morning. Mr. Murrah said
that all the stringers on the
bridge seemed rotten and the
j whole bridge was in bad condition.
