WILL BRING SETTLERS
TO GEORGIA SECTION
And Open Up Summer and
Winter Resort Near
Savannah.
Improvement of a 7,000-acre
tract situated midway between
Brunswick and Savannah, Ga.,
is being completed by the Fair
hope Land Co., owners of the
land and in a short time settlers
will be.ein to arrive from the
North and West and make their
homes on the property.
The trract is on the Sapelo
River, an automobile road be
tween Brunswick and Savannah
is being constructed by it and it
is but a short distance from the
main line of the Georgia Cast
and Piedmont railroad.
The Fairhope Company was
incorporated in Georgia and has
its headquarters at Cleveland,
Ohio. A. H. Holmes is general
manager and M. W. Kingsley
consulting engineer.
The company has subdivided
the land into small tracts which
are on the market.
Beside interesting farmers and
fruit-growers, the company plans
to make the property a summer
and winter resort, and to that
end will erect a clubhouse and a
hotel.
The undertaking is one of the
most expensive of the kind in the
Southeast. Industrial Index.
Planting and Picking Cotton.
It is contrary to nature and ac
cepted business methods in Geor
gia for cotton to be planted and
picked at the same time on a
farm, yet such was a condition on
a farm in Houston county last
week. Dr. W. .1. Little of Ma
con owns an excellent, farm with
in three and half miles of Perry.
The year 11)11 closed with at
least fifty acres of cotton on that
farm from which not a particle
had been picked. Within the
last three weeks twelve bales of
cotton have been picked on that
farm. Last Friday, on that farm,
the lirst of the 1912 cotton crop
was being planted while the last
of tin' 1911 crop was being
picked. Such a condition has
never before existed, and it is
sincerely hoped it will never
again ln-come a fact. It was un
deniably demonstrated last year
that it is not profitable to pro
duce more cotton than can be
gathered during the year in
which it was grown. Perry

Impracticability.
This thing of doing in Rome as
the Romans do is not always the
best plan, says the Popular Mag
azine. If you don’t believe it,
Miss Jane Addams, the famous
sociological worker of Chicago,
will tell you a story to pove it.
Miss Addams knew a wealthy
woman who delighted in doing
works of charity, such assending
missionaries to foreign fields, and
on one occasion she put up the
money to send a missionary to
the Caroline Islands. Soon after
his arrival on the scene of his ac
tivities the religious man sent his
benefactress a photograph of
himself and wife.
Whereupon the rich woman
wrote the man of God a letter,
suggesting that his wife, in or
der to win the confidence of the
natives, should throw away her
fine clothes and wear the costume
of the islands. Two months later
she received this answer:
"Inclosed is the complete cos
tume worn by native women.
My wife awaits word from you
liefore adopting it. ”
The native dress consisted of a
piece of woven straw two inches'
wide and eight inches long.

To Raise Fund for Black
shear Institute.
Members of the Savannah
Presbytery returned last night
from Blackshear, after attending
a meeting there during the day,
at which time it was decided to
raise SSO,(XX) for the purpose of
caring for the indebtedness of
the Blackshear Presbyterian In
stitute.
The commission, which was
organized at Statesboro recently,
with Rev. W. Moore Scott, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian
church as chairman, reviewed
the work of the institution last
year. The work for the present|
year was discussed. With the
exception of the indebtedness for
which the fund will be raised,
the institute is in a flourishing
condition. It is the purpose now
to extend the scope of the work
and make it a co-educational in
stitute for the Georgia and Flori
da presbyteries.
The fund is now being rapidly
subscribed. Twenty-one thous
and dollars was subscribed by the
citizens of Blackshear and a sum
j sufficient to increase the amount
to S2S,(XX) was obtained from
other source. The Presbyterian
churches will be called upon to
raise the remainder of the sum
desired. It is hoped to accom
plish this by the latter part of
June. Savannah Press.
Taft Man Tells A Story.
‘‘There’s a certain politician
gallavantin’ around the country
just now,” said a dyed-in-the
wool Taft man at the Customs
House, according to the Louis
ville Times, ‘‘who reminds me of
an old negro who used to work
for my father. He’s bound to
he boss.
‘‘Old Ike was given a job one
day by father cutting up some
wood in the back yard. Dad
gave Ike a quarter to do it. Lat
er in the day he went out and
found the old negro sitting on a
stick and directing the work of
another black, who was industri
ously cutting and sawing.
“ ‘Why, Ike,’ remarked dad,
‘didn’t I pay you to do this
work ?’
‘‘ ‘Yassuh, boss, yo’ sho did.’
‘Well, why aren’t you doing
it?’
‘‘ ‘I giv’ dis nigger 35 cents to
do it.’
“ ‘Thirty-five cents? Why so
much?’ asked father.
‘Well, boss, it’s dis away:
I reckon it’s wuf 10 cents ter be
boss once in a while.’ ”
Eating to Get Thin.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the
well known physician and writer,
was once called upon by a young
matron with more than her share
of flesh and fat, says Lippin
cott’s.
She told the doctor that she
had read his article on ‘‘Fat and
Its Follies” in a popular maga
zine. and she wanted him to help
her get rid of some of her fat.
After a few preliminary ques
tions, he handed the lady a diet
list, telling her to come back in
two weeks.
The good doctor’s consterna
tion can scarcely be imagined
when he saw his patient again.
She looked fifty per cent, fatter
and weighed twenty pounds
more. He was more than puz
zled. His list contained no
sweets of any kind, nor any fat
producers: yet it was putting
flesh on at an enormous rate.
"You are sure that you ate the
things on this list?” the doctor
questioned severely.
“Yes, doctor,” was the firm
answer.
"What else did you eat?”- as
a sudden inspiration seized him.
‘‘Why, nothing but my regular
meals.” was the indignant an
swer.

WARM REBUKE FOR SARCASM
Western Senator Who Made Many En
emies Was Given Good Advice by
a Friend.
For many years there served In the
United States senate, from the west,
a man of brilliant mind and fine quali
ties. hut who was forever estranging
many with whom he desired to be
friendly by reason of his incurably sar- j
castle manner both of speech and ac- ;
tlon.
Once an Intimate friend wrote the ;
senator urging the appointment of an- j
other friend to a minor position in the j
government. The senator returned a I
most sarcastic reply, declining to rec- I
ommend the appointment. It is said ]
that he never forgot the merited re
buke he received from the friend who
had suggested the appointment.
“My Dear Senator: I think it would
be well for you to reserve your sar
casm for the rapidly increasing num
ber of your enemies, instead of offer
Ing It to the decreasing number of
your friends, of whom I am one.”
Expensive Tree.
We do not think much of trees In
the United States, and let several mil
lion acres of them burn without get- |
ting excited, hut In England small lor- j
ests, and even individual trees, are j
maintained at great expense. If there ;
Is not actually an outlay of money,
the trees occupy land that could other
wise be profitably employed.
Probably the most noteworthy tree
In the world, so far as expensiveness
Is concerned, is a plane tree which
grows In Wood street, in the city of j
London. This tree occupies a lot
which would bring in ground-rent to j
tho amount of $1,200 per annum. It
says much for tho nature-loving quail- ,
ties, and,.incidentally, lor the fortune. 1

ancient tree flourishes safely year ,

Out-Romancing Romance.

Science has equipped him with a

What They Both Said.
Horace Greeley once wroto a note
to a brother editor in New York,
whose writing was as illegible ns his
own. The recipient of the note, not
being nble to read it. sent It back by ,
the same messenger to Mr. Greeley
for elucidation. Supposing it to be the
answer to his own note, Mr. Greeley
looked over It, but likewise was un
able to read It. and said to the boy:
“Go take It back. What does the
damned fool mean?” “Yes, sir," said
the boy; "that is Just what he says.”

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 hi# loans
on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
! Their interest is (> 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 j
easy. The money for building
or improving homes in towns is
also 6 per cent, money, and the
j loans are arranged so the bor
rower repays monthly for 60 j
months. You only have to add j
a little to the amount you are
paying as rent to own you a
home in a short time. I think
this a good way for a person to
get a home.
