EVERY NEGRO CAN WRITE
HIS NAME IN COURT.
Atlanta, Feb. I.— Clerk O. C.
Fuller of the local United States
court, is quoted as saying that
nearly every negro from the
country districts of Georgia who
has been haled before him can
write his name legibly, while a
great many of the white men
who are haled before the same
court cannot read or write, and
are forced to make their marks,
sometimes in the presence of ne
groes whose penmanship is a
source of pride to them and hu
miliation to the uneducated white
man.
Clerk Fuller doesn’t make any
comment on the situation,., but
local advocates of compulsory ed
ucation have taken hold of the
incident and will use it as a
strong argument for the passage
of the compulsory education bill
at the next session of the Geor
gia legislature.
ALLIGATOR FARMING PAYS WELL.
Los Angeles, Jan. 25.—When
an alligator farm started near
here the projectors were laughed
at. The hilarity was ill timed,
for big profits are being made.
On one of the two farms are 2,000
of the reptiles, large and small.
The original stock came from
Florida and Louisiana.
In the warm and congenial
- climate of Southern California
the conditions are highly favora
ble to the raising of the saurian.
The farm is laid out upon the
• banks of a small mountain stream
which in its course has formed a
; number of lakes and ponds,
f These are surrounded by strong
: netting to inclose the groups sep
erately, according to age.
The older ones are fed at long
intervals, about thirty-five
pounds of fresh meat at a meal,
from May until October, when
they all stop eating and hibernate
for the winter. Some have al
ready gone into their winter
homes, long tunnels running un
derground, and a row of heads
like logs along the banks of the
stream may be seen.
About June the alligators be
come more sensitive to disturb
ance as the females then begin
nesting. They bellow if ap
proached.
The female fashions her nest
by scraping together with her
hind feet a pile of rubbish com
prising rushes, sticks and mud.
Here she deposits from thirty to
forty long, narrow eggs, com
pletely concealing them, and if
.not interfered with stands on
guard until they are hatched by
the heat of the sun. On the farm
the nests are emptied as soon as
the animal has completed laying
and the eggs are taken to the
incubators to be hatched. Great
care is given to this part of the
industry.
Everything from tanning to
manufacturing articles made
from the skins is done in Los
Angeles.
CHICKENS RIDE ON SHEEP TO WARM
CLAWS.
Princeton, Ind., Jan. 27. —Rob-
ert Melton, a farmer living near
here, reports that during the cold
weather the chickens in his barn
yard have made a practice of rid
ing around on the backs of his
sheep, their feet clutched in the
wool and their bodies cuddled
down close to.keep warm.
The chickens would hop down
from the sheep only to pick up
something to eat.
t Mr.j.Melton feeds'] his cattle in
two sheds, and he says some
chickens, following the practice
sheep, "have now taken to
perching!themselves on the backs i
of the cows, and riding from one |
feed stable to another to pick up
ther'grain thus scattered about, i
thus, getting, through the deep 1
snow.
He says sometimes two or three ;
chickens will be seen complacent
ly riding along on the back of
one cow.
sor 6 doses “666” will cure \
any case of Chills and Fever.

BY LAWRENCE B. STRINGER.
Democratic Candidate Per the l>. 8>
Senate Prom llltnele Against
Lerlmer,
Before meeting (Jot. Wfleon, t was
somewhat predisposed tm his favor,
from having read many es his prodno
l tions and having admired the greed
. comprehensive grasp of economic sit
uations which pmvades all of his pol
itical utterances and writings.
Still while predisposed In his fit
vor, until I had personally met and
i conversed with him, 1 was not oon
■ vlnced of his availability aa a can
[ didate for President
Since meeting Gov. Wilson, how
ever, all doubt In that regard. In my
1 own mind, has been removed. Got.
) Wilson Is presidential timber of the
. exact kind and quality required at the
) present time. To begin with he le an
intellectual giant with a broad com
prehensive grasp of every public sit
uation. Throughout the east he 1»
l universally regarded ae the brainiest
. American living today. Even In priv
ate conversation, his Intellectuality
scintillates In every sentence he ut
i ters. He has a logical and analytical
l mind. His language Is simple, easily
understood, yet definite, Incisive and
1 convincing. He hae been a student of
political economy since his boyhood,
. has written varied books upon the
subject and Is conceded to be the
highest authority upon theories of.
government In the country today.
. While our presidents have generally
been men of patriotic impulses, hon
est and conscientious, still few of
them have been great intellectually.
Thomas Jefferson was an exception to
this rule. Woodrow Wilson, If elec
ted president, by reason of hie In
stincts, characteristics, training, fear
lessness, patriotism, faith In the peo
ple and extraordinary Intellectuality
would indeed be a second Thomas
Jefferson.
Ideal Chief Executive es State.
As governor of New Jersey, he has
given that state a practical business
administration, so conceded by all.
He has shown himself to be peculiar
ly fitted for the executive office along
the most practical lines. In meeting
him, you are Impressed with this fact
The schoolmaster Is not In the least
In evidence. He is plain, matter of
fact, and his conversation Is not pe
dantic or pedagogic, but direct force
ful and earnest
Above all he Is a man of the people.
He was born with no silver spoon in
his mouth. He is not n man of means
or wealth. He is easily approachable.
No dignity hedges him about He re
sides In a very modest home at Prince
ton. On knocking at his door, no ser
vant, liveried or otherwise, met us at
the portals. It was the governor him
self who opened the door for us. wel
comed us In, took our hats and wraps
and laid them aside, ushered us Into
hls library, made us feel at home and
talked to us neighbors who had
dropped In for a casual calL There
are no frills nor sure-belows about
him. He Is esssntlally Jeffersonian.
As governor of New Jersey, he has ;
fought for the plain people and they
love him. In doing so, be has anta
gonised the Interests- He knows It,
but doeenl earn He has faith In the
people and takes them inis hls eon-
Idssaa
Bens# es Dety Bnpreme.
I aleo found hiss to be a man of pos
itive convictions with the courage of
the sam«u He la fearless in his as
presslons of opinions. U they go net
agree with your opinion, he la sany,
but he does not trim hls views to son
form with yours. Hip sense of duty
is supremo He would not change hls
views, unless convinced that be was
wrong, even though it made him pre
sident He is not a trimmer. He is
not a politician, but Is a statesman, in
all that word implies. He abhors
machine politics and machine meth
ods. He does nothing behind closed
doors. Everything with him Is in
the open and he has no'political or
public secret#. What he says to you, j
he Is willing the world should know. !
He Is the soul of Integrity and honor
and he stands today a* the one great
champion of progressive Ideas of gov- 1
err aunt In state and nation. If elec- !
ted president, bo machlim leaders,
bosses or fractions, will control or In
fluence him. Hip seneo of duty alone
will actuate him.
Altogether I was exceedingly well
1-ipr.ssed with tier. Wilson ae a Tm. n
as a statesman, ae an executive and
as a possible, if not a pro tm hie, fu
ture president He seems to combine
In one personality, great Intellectual
ity, simplicity, modesty, fearlessness
In the discharge of duty, sterling
character, honesty of motive, effective- !
ness, executive ability, energy, enth -
si ,sm, rugged honesty, practicality
and Jeffersonian democracy. And
what more what more would anyone
want?

Money To Loan.
I am in position now to secure
loans on farm lands and town
property in Montgomery County.
The lender that will handle my
business is especially desireable
for parties that want big loans
on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
Their interest is 6 per cent.
Terms five years, the borrow pay
ing 1-10 each year thereby re
ducing the interest, and princi
pal so the final settlement will be
easy. The money for building
or improving homes in towns is
also 6 per cent, money, and the
t loans are arranged so the bor
rower repays monthly for 60
; months. You only have to add
a little to the amount you are
I paying as rent to own you a
j home in a short time. I think
this a good way for a person to
| get a home.
