Wants No Speeding
On Country Roads
Atlanta, Nov. 20.—Automobil
ists who violate the speed laws
were held to be a serious injury
to the cause of good roads, by
William G. Sirrine of Greenville,
S. C., addressing the fourth an
nual convention of the Southern
Appalachian Good Roads Associ
ation here this afternoon.
“Nothing awakens the antag
onism of country people more
than the speeding of automobiles
on the roads,” said Mr. Sirrine,
“and until we get the farmers
of the South kolidly behind the
good roads movement wo will
never attain our just progress.
The roads were intended for all,
the man in the ox cart as well as
the man in the automobile, and
the former does not believe he
should be chased into the ditch
in order to get out of the way of
the speed devils.”
Following 1114’ address, John
(’raft, president of the Alabama
Good Roads Associations, told the
convention he was in favor of
tjie adoption of resolutions con
demning the speeding of auto
mobiles on roads. It is expected
that the resolutions committee
will report a resolution condemn
ing speeding.
Fiight addresses, dealing with
the road conditions in the differ
ent states in the South, were
made this afternoon. Among
the speakers were William G.
Sirrine, South Carolina; R. J.
Freeman, Georgia; John Craft,
Alabama, and John G. Greer,
. South Carolina.
Shot Man For Deer.
Skowhegan, Nov. 23.—0 n a
charge of "shooting a human be->
ing for doer,” William Wilding,
an Indianapolis railroad conduct
or. who was arrested after War
ren Holden' had been killed re
cently in the woods near the
Canadian line, was held yester- ;
day for the December term of j
the court. Wilding furnished
bail.
Holden, according to the testi-i
tnony adduced today, started out
doer hunting simultaneously with
Wilding and others and was to
have kept on another side of the j
moutain from the Wilding party.'
Instead, however, he worked j
around to a point in front of
them, and Wilding seeing some
thing brown moving in the
bushes, fired the fatal shot
Work for Legislators.
The members of the next Geor
gia Legislature have seven j
months to stndy the big ques
tions to be settled when the
legislature assembles next sum-1
mer. Let them put in the time
studying the tax system and the
best way in which the tux laws
of the state may be so revised as
to give Georgia a tax system that
will provide enough money to
pay off what the state owes its
common school teachers, as well
as to provide for the prompt pay
ment of all its obligations to tnem
in the future. This is the big
question before the next Legi
slature, and we hope that body j
will have the wisdom to find a
solution and the nerve to put it i
into effect.—Athens Banner.

Pecan Tree Produces
One Hundred Pounds.
A paragraph in the last issue
■ of this paper stated that one pe
can tree in this county, which
was planted by a school girl a
few years ago, had this year pro
duced sixty pounds of pecans.
Soon after the paper was circula
ted, one of the most highly es
teemed ladies of Sandersville
called the editor over the phone
and stated that she had read the
notice, but could send in a better
report from a tree in her yard,
’ which this year produced more
1 than one hundred pounds of pe-
I cans. Two years ago, the yield i
was one hundred pounds, but last
year, which was not a favorable
i one for this crop, the yield was
not so great. When asked what
■ year the tree was set out, she
stated that it came from a nut
that was planted in 1894, which
was eighteen years ago. Besides
affording ample shade for the
back yard, the tree pays a hand
some dividend each year.
This tree is located almost in
the centre of Sandersville and
shows what can be done. Peo
ple in all parts of the county can >
raise all of the pecans they want j
by either setting out the trees,
|or planting the nuts. They are i
now commanding 20 cents a !
pound, while the larger varieties j
sell at 50 cents to SI.OO. There
is always a good demand for
them.—Sandersville Georgian.
What He Voted For.
A colored damsel was watch
j ing the progress of an election
from a convenient fence corner,
says Judge.
"What they votin’ fur. Miss
I Mattie?” *
“For President,” replied the
mistress. "At least for the men
who will elect him.”
“But what they votin’ fur?”
"Oh, you mean who? Mr.
Wilson is running against Mr.
I’aft. Now, if you’re a Repub-,
lican ”
! “That ain’t it, neither. ’Pears;
like white folks gits things aw
ful mixed. I mean just what
they votin’ fur? Last ’lection j 1
pappy he voted fur a barrel of

Lincoln’s Chin-Fly Story.
A certain amount of trouble is
I a good thing.
Lincoln used to illustrate the
point with a story about a “chin
fly,” says Judge.
It seems that once a man was
plowing with a very laay mule.
Suddenly the mule lifted its
head, switched its stump of a
tail and went across the field at
a rapid walk and with most unus
ual energy.
Reaching the end of the row,
there was a man on the fence.
When the mule and man came up
the fellow got down, walked
over to the mule and hit him a
slap on the jaw. remarking,
"Well, I killed him that time!”
"Killed what?”
“Why, that chin-fly!”
“Well, you interfering fool, I
wish you would mind your own
business. That chin-fly was the
. only thing that made this mule
'go!” t
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR THURSDAY, NOV. 28, 1912
What One Farmer Learned.
I have been farming all my
life, and am now 53 years old,
and I have just awakened to the
necessity of selling my produce,
and of buying household and farm
supplies more economically.
During all these years I have
been shipping my surplus pro
duce to commission men in the
cities, or taking it into the near
by market, and dumping it off
on the retail men at any kind of
an old price. In the early spring
I began to take in sweet pota
toes, housed over from last year,
also cabbage, and was selling
potatoes for 60 cents per bushel,
which I considered a fair price,
and small cabbage at $1 to $1.50
per 100 heads. While Iv. uld be
j unloading I noticed the middle
i man or huckster would be selling
potatoes for 25c. to 30 cents per
peck, and the very same cabbage i
; I was unloading at five cents for
! choice, or two smaller ones for
five cents or three medium ones
for ten cents.
It occurred to me that if* cus
tomers would come to the stall
and buy at these prices, that I
might take my produce to the
customers’ doors and get the
same price. I made a trial of the j
next load I took in, and was so
successful that I have not unload
ed on the middleman since. By
spending from two to four hpurs
more in driving through the city,
I find I increase the amount of
cash taken in from each load
from $5 to SB.
I find this plan has another
bright side to it. I can market
off perishable fruits and vegeta
bles that the middleman could
not handle because he would be
overstocked. For instance, just
this fall, there has been an extra
crop of Keifer pears in this sec
tion. I had no trouble in selling
mine to the consumer for 25 cents
per peck. At the same time I
would see farmers hauling them
in to the middleman for 50 cents
per bushel and would say they
were glad to get that price, as it
was too much trouble to peddle
them around town. Others would
let theirs rot on the ground or
feed them to hogs, as they could
I find no sale for them. Had I
not caught the idea of being a
retailer, I would have done .like ,
! my neighbors.
1 know 1 can realize from 25 to
100 per cent more for my pro
duce by this method than I have
been doing heretofore.—G. L.
Hardison, in The Progressive
Farmer.

IN MEMORIAM.
On September 14th, 1881, the
home of Hon. C. D. Adams and
wife was made happy by the |
arrival of a bright, sweet little
girl, who was christened as Mat-!
tie E. A lams. As time 'went on !
this little girl gn w into woman- j
hood and on July 9th, 1899, she j
j became the accomplished wife of j
D. M. Beder.baugh. To this union
rive little children came to bless
father and mother and to mahe <
Uu- world better by their having 1
lived. On 0 - her the 25th, 1912, •
: this accomplished, sweet and at-;
tractive mother and wife fell on
sleep. God said to her, * Your
mission in life has neon filled,
you are needed in the Heavenly
World, close your eyes in Blessed
Rest and come unto me.” She ;
did as she had always done, j
obeyed her Master’s command
and after bidding her loved ones
a fond adieu she joined the an- ;
gels in the "Glory Land” where
: tin re is no more parting, no more
heart aches, no more death, but
where all is peace and sweet con
ter.tn ent i - th "Land beyoni
the sky” where the soul doth
never die.
Mrs. Badenbaugh died in Lake
hand, Fia., and was buried in,
Glen wood cemetery amidst a host ;
of sorrowing and tear-stained;
friends. There never lived an
Adams in Montgomery countv
more beloved than Mattie E.
She was jovial, bright hearted,
i sweet tempered and very re- 1
‘ ligiously inclined and to know
her was to love her and honor
her.
She leaves a father and mother,
| four heart broken brothers, three
heart-aching sisters, a heart
crushed husband and five little
children to mourn her untimely
death. It seems hard to say
"Good-bye” to precious Mattie,
hut we must not complain for
our God is too wise to make a
mistake and too good to he un
kind. Some "Sweet Day” we ,
will all understand that it was
j God’s Divine Plan to take dear I
: little Mattie by the hand and lift
j her into the Heavenly Regions
| where the angels shout and sing
j and where sweetest music doth
i forever ring.
She was gloriously converted
I in early life and joined the Meth
j odist church. She was a consis
! tent member until death and will
|be missed very much indeed by
! the Christian people in Lakeland,
Fla., and in Montgomery county.
Let us not mourn over the de
mise of sweet Mattie. Let us
prepare tq, meet her in heaven
where father and mother, broth
! ers and sisters and husband and
'dear little children will meet in
i God’s own appointed time and
| where tin y will all live as angels
! around the throne of God singing
i and shouting praises to the "Great
; I am.”
Os course the five little orphans
will never know the love of a
mother, and the bereft and heart
broken husband wall never be
blessed with the queenly assis
tance of his noble, true and fond
wife in the proper rearing of his
| precious little babies, but angel
| Mattie will ever beckon him and
them, as well as all loved ones,
from the "Glory Heights” and
he as a Vestal Fire to them to
live for higher and nobler things
in this life and to prepare for
the sweet meeting in Heaven at
the end of life’s little span. May
the love, mercy and hovering
wings of the "Blessed Redeemer”
lever he with all bereft ones and
finally lead them home with Hap
py Mattie in that "Land of Bliss”
far away and above such a world
as this.
By one who loved her.
