WHAT ABOUT CULTIVAT
ING TOBACCO HERE ?
Mr. .1. .1. Pridgen of tins place'
mentioned to the Enterprise this
w• <-k that he and Mr. A. G. Pat
ti rson of Alamo wanted to g»*t
the farmers of this section inter
ested in the cultivation of tobac-
He slated that if fifty farm- -1
i-rs could ho induced to agree to
plant one acre each in tobuccoi
that Mr. Patterson would make
arrarigements about getting the
t>. r-1 seed for them, would build
the necessary houses tor curing
mi me, a ml that all I he expense t he
fanners would lie put to would be
t lie net mtl cost of seed , t lie fei I il
i/.er, cultivating and gathering.
The soil in this section is easily
adapted to the growth of any pro
duct and we see no reason why to
baeco could not be placed in the
iikt of money making crops. This
Here growth would be largely in
the nature of an experiment, and
il i'am be done at no very consul-1
ei able cost, and nil those interest
ed can consult Mr. .1. .1. Pridgen,
<ii tins place or Mr. A. (5. Pntter
roii of Alamo iih to plans and def
initi- purposes they have in view
in making tins suggestion.
The Enterprise would lieglad to
see the test made. Many of the
older settlers here made tobacco a j
number of years ago, and it was
pronounced by good judges as be-;
ing as line qualit y as t hey had ev- !
er seen. While a trial now would
be an experiment to many, the
fact that this land w ill produce i
good tobacco, lias already been!
sufficient I v tested. —'Peifair Knfer

I• rv.-in is idei'ted” Roosevelt will
not go to Africa. That would be
a calamity, but the people will

sane.— Telegraph.
TEN ACRES ENOUGH.
A eoiTespondent in thai match
less ngrii'iilt lira I guide, Home and
Earm, speaks .d the article, “'l'en
Acres Enough,“ which Home ami
Farm published during the .sum
mer mont Its, and says :
“Twice within a few months —
June lf>, July If)—we have not iced
in Home ami Farm the caption
“Ten Acres Enough. ■' It is high
ly suggestive. A good many years
ago we read the book yvitli this ti
tle, and the suggestion it convey
ed Inis stuck by u« till now. Ten
acres, even live acres, are enough
for hundreds of men, ami there
are hundreds who can. and do,
make good livings on Hindi small
areas as t heso.
Tin* suggestions contained in
the said articles are worthy of at
tention even limy. The first is
from Cooper, La., in which the
writer tells how he made his little
estate a veritable garden-farm,
where grows everything that is
raised in his section, and, of
course, he has need to Imv but
very little. He grows yvhat the
manual labor mail of tin* towns
1 ,ive to buy, yvhat tin* man might
grow for himself, il he would only
try hard enough. Doubtless this
man has a good deni of several
tiling' to sell. We will lie hound
that the family live well, and that
they enjoy good health. And the
owner is a flee man, and he en
joys to the full the rich blessings
of rural life, pure air, sunshine,
good water, retirement, peace.
The second article is from Fair
y **w. (la., and even the name of
the place is stimulating—fair
l»|os| >e«*ls. sweet birds, and syvoet
fiowers, elevated views and e\-
tended horizons. The writer of
tins is making a good living, en
joying life, though his farm is
small, and would hardly exchange
hi- home for the best stone front
in tow n. This writer advises ev
eryone who can. to go at once and
buy a little country borne."
“Since hearing Goveruortlughea
speak," declared Governor Hoke
Smith at Lincoln, Neb,, “1 am
positive we must elect Bryan."
And still Judge Taft and bis man
agers allow Gov. Hughes to run at
large making yvhat he calls Tan
speeches. Macon Telegraph.
WATCHMAN OVERPOW
ERED AND DRUCGED.
At Dublin, Sunday night the
11th inst.,Mr. John Adkins,night
watchman at the Eastman Cotton
Mill, was assaulted, overpowered
and drugged. Five men, whose
laces were disfigured by colors,
' rushed in on him, overpowering
him and forcing a bottle into his
i mouth, caused him to swallow
some preparation, which left him
ma precarious condition. They
said their mission was to l< t. the
mill owners know that the mill
would he burned if it did not stop
lint tile prevailing opinion of those
most iot imulcly acquainted with
tin* incident don’t think il yvas
anything against the mill compa
ny, but that it. was parties on the
mill ground with ill-will tor the
n ight watch mail.
DISPOSE OF MALES.
Do not keep any males with the
hens during fall and winter. This
to many may seem strange advice,
as some have an idea that the
hens will not lay if they have no
male with them. Nevertheless
t hey do lay, and lay more eggs.
They are more contented ami cost
less to keep than yvlien the noisy,
quarrelsome males are wit h them.
The males will emisumo more
lood than the liens They are la
zy and, as a_ ru I**, an the first to
have mites, as they do not dust
t hemsolves.
They an* quarrelsome mid gen
eral disturbers of the peace of the
(lock, and as the liens lay more
eggs wiilimit them, there is no
reason why they should be kept.
Those not wanted for next sea
son should lie sent to the market,
and those we need should he kept
in a yard as far from the hens ns
possible. Infertile eggs keep longer
than fertile eggs, and if vve send
them to market our customers
will soon note the difference.
All tin* profit during winter
time must come from eggs, and
yve cannot afford !•> neglect a sin
gle thing that should bo done. —
From the Poultry Yard in Home
and Farm.
The above rule, m> doubt,would
work admirably up in the colder
sections, but down here people
generally yvant to use the fall and
winter eggs for sitting hens so as
avoid the mites and other insects
which are so had here in spring
and summer months.
THEY CLAIM EVERYTHING.
The Financial Age, in its week
ly review, effectively disposes of a
foolish Republican claim, which
is an unconscious slap at the pres
ent head of the Republican party.
Says the Age; “The idea that a
rising stock market indicates the
election of Mr. Taft is absurd. The
market is wholly in the bands of
speculators and riggers who can
manipulate it with perfect ease
unless some concrete vital fact
like this heavy foreign selling of
stock drops among them to upset
their (dans. Their idea yvas to
hire the public into buying on a
rising market that tln*y themselves
might get out just liefore or im
mediately after election. Prices
are too high now as compared
v\ it li uetual industrial eondi
i ions. “ —Macon Telegraph.
