Second Prize Soperton Pupil. [The following essay on the visit of the Agricultural Train at Soperton was sent in by Miss Alma Roache, and receives a prize of $2.50 awarded by Mr. J. I). Pullen, as announced last week. The same amount, of fered by The Montgomery Moni tor, was won by Spurgeon Wil liams, a pupil of the Soperton Institute, and was published last week.] The Educational Train came to Soperton last Wednesday, March Ist, 1911. It came at 3:30 and left at 7 o’clock. People from all over the county came to see it. The Educational Train is the best thing that ever came to Soperton. It will teach the farm ers how to farm better and it will also teach them how to raise their stock and poultry, Now listen! let us see what was in the cars: As we entered the first car we saw a stalk of corn with seventeen ears on it and we saw some young corn growing in a box. We went on a little further and we saw some hyacinths blooming and they were growing in vases. The corn on the stalk was call ed the Boys’ Corn. We saw pic tures of animals and fruits. In one picture was some peachc-s and it showed the peach that had been sprayed and the one that had not been sprayed. The man showed us the sprayer that you spray the trees with. When we saw all in the first we went to the second car. The first thing we saw when we en tered this car was some cotton blooming and on the other side was a stalk of cotton opened. We saw it from the time it was pick ed on up to- the time it was put on the spools. On the other side of this car was books of all kinds to teach about farming and other things. I saw a little barn and a miniature stock farm. There was soil from Chattahoochee, Rabun, Brooks and Bartow coun ties. We also saw the different fertilizers that is put to the dif ferent kinds of soil. There was a map of Georgia hanging on the side of the car. There was all kinds of poisons in bottles. Down at the end of the car were all kinds of little farming instru ments and tools. At this end of the car was the things that you use for dairy farming, such as a churn, Babcock’s Milk Tester, cream separater, cow fastener for the dairy, butter in jars, a telephone, cotton seed and some meal.and hulls. Well now let us see what is in the third car. All kinds of farm ing machinery, such as plows, gasoline engine, cotton gin, guano distributor, cotton seed planter, hay mower and a small electric light plant. In the fourth car there were two large whtie horses, two Hol stein cows, two Berkeshire hogs, two 0. I. C. hogs, two sheep and a coop of Rhode Island Red chickens. Alma Roache. TAFT PLAYS GOLF.

Littleton, th< New York lawyer and attorn-y for Charles W. Morse, the convict ed Now York banker, who is co v ing a .prison term at Atlanta. The match was arrang-d on Mon day and as both men are k-en players, a great deal of anticipa tion developed relative to the outcome. Mr. Littleton won hv 14 to 99. The president planned t > take » long motor trip later in the dav. meeting a committee of tin Al bania legislature, after which he was to attend a practice game of the Boston Nationtl league team. Mr. Taft has apparently forgot ten that a “Mexican situation’’ exists.

He said that h»- hoped to have a talk with Mr. Taft late in tho afternoon. f:ll into hands GF CUSTOM OFFICERS. New York, March 17.—Mrs. Joseph Hull, whose husband is president of the Merchants’ National Bank, of Savannah, Ga., and her daughter, Miss Nannie Hull, both returning passengers by the French liner La Provence, were rigorously searched by cus toms officers today for a diamond necklace. There was no “dis covery.” “YVe were even made to re move our stockings,” exclaimed Mrs. Hull. “Every stitch of our clothing was searched and even our hair did not escape examina tion. I consider this treatment an outrage. I had no idea such a thing could happen in Ameri ca.” Miss Nannie Hull is convalesc ing from typhoid fever. The danger involved in keeping her waiting on the pier while her baggage was searched was such that she was permitted to leave for a hotel, where her brother, a cotton broker, lives. A special agent of the treasury department had the case in charge. He said his superiors had confidential information that I'. ;-s. Hull or her daughter had bought a diamond necklace abroad. Not finding, it custom agents accused her of undervalu ing her personal effects. PROMINENT PHYSICIAN DIES IN ASHBURN. Asliburn, Ga., March 21.—Dr. T.

BRNSWiCK NEWSPAPER GETS IN THE TOILS Savannah, Ga., March 18. The Daily News of Brunswick, Ga., has been indicted in the United States Court here for violation of the postal laws by publishing advertisements of an alleged lottery. It is alleged that on May 8, 1909, and on different dates in August, 1910, and September 1 and 2, 1910, the News inserted advertisements and notices of lotteries, drawings and gift en terprises made by lot or chance. Jauuary 25 last the paper ad vertised a drawing for a lot at the Brunswick Grand Opera house and that issue was excluded from the mails.
