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.

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. L. C. Underwood, Mt. Vernon, Ga.
