POULTRY INDUSTRY
IN SOUTH GEORGIA
Valdosta, Ga., April 9.-The
poultry business of this section is
getting to be enormous. One
poultry farm here received ot
ders yesterday from eight differ
ent states and luring the past
few weeks orders have been filled
from 18 states. This city is con
suming about 4,000 or 5,000 dozen
eggs a week and nearly all of
them are coming from the local
poultry yards and from the rural
districts. Besides the local de
mand thousands of dozens of
eggs are being shipped to Savan
nah, Jacksonville, Tampa and the
big hotels on the east coast of
Florida.
The ice cream parlors alone in
Valdosta consume more than
2,000 dozen eggs a week, while
the bakeries take nearly 1,000
more dozen.
The vast consumption of eggs
and poultry here is due to the
fact that many people are raising
chickens and are eating chickens
in the place of beef and hams,
which have gotten so high that
ordinary people can hardly af
ford them. In spite of the enor
mous receipts of eggs and chick
ens the prices remain high.
Eggs are bringing 25 cents a
dozen right along, while chickens
are bringing from 40 to 00 cents.
The farmers say there is good
money in chickens and eggs at
these prices.
Gives Factory to Workmen.
Good fortune has befallen the
employes of a wholesale boot and
shoe maker, in Paris. The man
ufacturer is a self-made man,
and for over forty years has
worked harder than any of his
men. Today he is a millionaire,
but has neither wife nor children
to share his riches. Not long ago
he resolved to hand over the
works to his employes, and un
der his instructions the lawyer
drew up a deed transferring the
building and plant and stock to
50 of the men who had helped
him to make his fortune. This
is equivalent to a gift of about
$400,000, or an average of SB,OOO
to each employe. The donor,
however, stipulates that for the
next three years the direction of
the factory shall remain in his
hands and none of those who ben
efit will be at liberty to realize
his share before the end of that
period.
He Got His Half.
“Can I get any work around
here?” said Rastus Johnson, safe
in the knowledge that there was
not any, according to the Nation
al Magazine.
“Yes, I want you to collect a
bill for me from Mr. Sawyer the
lawyer. He has owed me this bill
of S2O for 20 years. If you can
get the money I will give you
half.”
Rastus went to the business
place of Mr. Sawyer and found
him among a group of clients.
“Mr. Sawyer,” said he, “Mr.
Jones done tole me you owed him j
S2O for about a hundred years.”
“You idiot,” said Sawyer, com
ing over to him, “don’t you see
you are ruining my business?
Here’s a $lO bill; now go on.”
Rastus went back to the mer
chant and was asked if he got
anything.
“Well, suh, I got mah half,
suh, but you better watch when
you go after yo’s; he’s right hot
over it.”
Bones 40,000 Years Old.
New Haven, Conn., April 4.
G. G. McCurdy, the anthropolo
gist of the Yale University Mus
eum, has taken to Washington
the human bones recently discov
ered under glacier deposits in
Peru by the Yale exploring ex-1
pedition. Mr. McCurdy will com
pare the bones with human relics
at Washington in order to ascer
tain racial characteristics.
Prof. Bowman of the geologi
cal department, after a final in
vestigation of the bones, has
concluded that on a conservative
estimate they are between 20,000
and 40,000 years old. 1
NEW YORK HERALD
SAYS IT IS UNDERWOOD'
Sudden Growth of Underwood Boom
Is Latest Development.
The New York Herald, which has
not missed its political prophecy In
many years, last Sunday carried a
picture of Oscar W. Underwood on its
front page, together with the follow
ing write-up:
The chief development in the Dent
ocratic situation is the sudden growth
of the Underwood boom. His friends
have been extremely active and he
has loomed up as a formidable candi
date. it is believed that the same
influences that would support Gover
nor Harmon of Ohio would also sup
port him. States on which the Under
wood managers already count are
Florida, with 12 delegates; Alabama,
with 24; North Carolina, with 24, and
Mississippi, with 20, a total of SO, and
with a good chance of getting the 24
delegates from Virginia.
With the 2S from Georgia and the
16 from South Carolina and with but
half of Tennessee's vote, Underwood
would enter the convention with near
ly electoral votes from the South
alone. To which must be added the
vote from New York state, where Un
derwood is a formidable candidate,
and from other states where ho is
strong.
The Underwood situation is ape
culiar one. The entire South wants
him, but will not back him as a whole
for the reason that, in their estima
tion, a candidate “of the South”—a
candidate groomed and presented by
the South —would stand no chance of
being nominated, but would arouse
the solid opposition of tho North and
the East.
A man of wealth himself, and sur
rounded by wealthy friends, Repre
sentative Underwood is plentifully
financed, and his managers are going
after the nomination well armed. They
have within a week been in confer
ence with Democratic leaders in New
York state and are much encouraged
as a result. In fact, some of them
feel certain that New York's ninety
delegates will be cast for Underwood.
LEADING T P. A. SAYS
IT WILL BE UNDERWOOD
P. C. Cashman Changes From Wilson
to House Leader.
Atlanta, Ga. —Mr. P. C. Cashman,
one of the leading members of the T.
P. A. in Georgia, former editor of the
Southern T. P. A. Journal, has chang
ed from Wilson to Underwood.
“J started out in this campaign
thinking I was for Woodrow Wilson
for president, but now that Oscar
Underwood, son of our sister state,
has gotten into the race, I have
changed my mind and I am going to
support him with all my heart and
soul.
“More than that, this sentiment
seems to prevail everywhere I have
been recen'ly, and It is a safe pre
diction that Underwood will sweep
Georgia. No other candidates now in
the race can cope with him in Geor
gia, and they arc realizing It more
and more every day.”

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1912.
I COLONEL W. S. WEST
STRONG FOR UNDERWOOD
Well-Known Citizen of South
Georgia Gives His
Reasons.
Valdosta. Ga—Hon. W. S. West,
one of the most prominent Democrats
in Georgia, who was a delegate to the
last national Democratic convention,
has issued the folowing card.
“I am first for Oscar W. Underwood
for president of the United States.
It has now been forty-seven years
since the great civil struggle between
the North and the South, known In
history as the “Civil war,” and the
broad catholicity prevailing between
these two great sections of our com
mon country, should proclaim to the
world that the sectional spirit has for
ever perished signally, and was illus
trated by the prowess of tho soldiers
of both sections on tho battlefield at
Santiago.
“The South has hitherto furnished
In the electoral college from two
thirds to three-fourths of the votes
for the Democratic nominee, owing to
whether the nominee of the Demo
cratic party was elected or defeated;
and, then, why with their solid phal
anx for the cause of Democracy com
ing up from the South should we not
select from this section the presl
dent, when ho is honest, capable, effi
cient, broad minded, fearless and fair?
“This man Is Oscar W. Underwood,
who, in spite of the section he hails
from, stands for such a reduction of
the tariff as will weigh equally heavy
upon the iron of his section as upon
the commodities of other sections, to
the end the people who bear the bur
dens of this government shall not be
taxed five millions of dollars to go
to the protected interests, in order to
obtain one million dollars to pay the
expense of running the national gov
ernment.
“Then let not tho people he swept
from their moorings by the doctrin
aires who are advocating the Initia
tive, referendum and recall, sweeping
aside the great doctrines of t.he foun
ders of our republican free institu
tions, looking to the betterment of
the condition of the people, and sub
stituting therefor measures .that must
Inevitably leave discord in their
wake.
“Why, then, should not the Demo
cratic party select for their standard
bearer, Underwood, the leader in the
national house of representatives, and
the living exponent of fair and equa
ls reduction of the tariff, which, when
accomplished, will result in the up
lift and the betterment of the condi
tion of the people.
“The great mass of the Northern
vote Is just waiting an opportunity
to manifest to the people of the South
that they are uninfluenced by sec
tional bias.”
