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.
Augusta, Ga , March 18. — Piesi
dent Taft yesterday play-1 the
most exciting game of golf n his
Southern vacation. His opt >i,<o 1
was Martin W. 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.
Representative John Daiz-li, of
Pennsylyauia, reached Augusta
yesterday and went to the h->t.-i
where President Taft is stopping.
He said that h»- hoped to have a
talk with Mr. Taft late in tho
afternoon.

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.

of heart. In him the friendless

encouragement and generosity.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—T IITRSDAY. MARCH 23. 1911.
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. An editorial ex
planation which followed is also
contended to have been a viola
tion of the law.
As long ago as December 1907,
it is claimed, the News advertised
a jewelry drawing for a Bruns
wick merchant with the list of
winners and was warned at that
time that the law had been vio
lated.
KICKS OLD MAN OUT
AND IS SHOT BY ANOTHER,
Memphis, Tenu., March 20
\V. E. Miißun was shot in the back
and probably fatally wounded
this afternoon at 1 :80 o’clock by
I. A. King, proprietor of a, tool
store in Beale avenue.
King was arrested and is held
at Central police station without !
any charge being preferred against
him, the officers awaiting the out
come of Mason’s wounds. The
injured man was rushed to tin
city hospital and medical atten
tion given him. Physicians ar>
expecting him to die any moment.
At the police station, King said
tho trouble started about 10 j
o’clock Saturday morning. Ib
said that Mason came to his store
about that hour to look at some
tools. “As he started to leave,”!
continued King; “an old man.
probably 75, was standing in tin
door. Mason stumbled over him
He stopped, cursed and abused
"him. The row finally ended when
he kicked the old man out onto
the sidewalk. 1 went tothestr et
and asked Mason what, he meant
by treating an old man m that
way. Mason became abusive,
threatening to return with a pis
tol and kill me. 1 had forgotten
about the matter until shortly
after 1 o’clock, when he came into
my store with a big revolver in
one hand.
“Remembering his former
threat and believing 1 was apt
to be shot, I pulled my pistol
from the drawer at the back of a
counter and fired twice.”
