PLANS MATURING FOR
TWELFTH BIST. FAIR
Fine Exhibits of Live Stock
And Farm Crops
And Attractions.
Dublin, Sept. 30. —That the
Twelfth district fair, to be he!d
here Nov. 3 to 8, is going to le
one of the biggest fairs in the
state this year becomes more
certain as the plans of the man
agement become known.
A contract was closed this
week for an aeroplane exhibi
tion. Aviator W. J. Gabriel will j
use a Wright machine and will
carry a passenger on some of his
flights. He will also carry mail
from Dublin to some other town
in the county and will also race
with a train or automobile.
Another feature will be the
singing convention on Nov. 8.
This will be attended by many
classes from this section of the
state. At least 5,000 people are
expected, which will be under
the leadership of Prof. A. M.
Pace of Eastman and Prof. J. M.
Spivey of Adrian.
One day is to be devoted es
pecially to live stock. On this
day several expert stock men
with large experience will ad
dress the farmers and stock
raisers, and there will be a
special show of all kinds of farm
animals. It is the desire of the
management to make the fair
educational and to aid in the
movement to get the farmers of
the district to raise more live
stock.
Some Oats in Oklahoma.
A thousand car loads of oats
have been shipped from Bryan
county, Oklahoma, this season,
according to figures complied by
railroad officials. Five hundred
cars went from Durant and the
others from Caddo, Bennington,
Cokchito and Kenefick.
The cars will hold an average
of 1,250 bushels, which makes a
total of more than one million
bushels handled. The average
price is about forty cents, which
means that the farmers of Bryan
county have realized approxi
mately $400,000 for their crop,
and it is not all marketed yet.
Bryan county will have good
corn and cotton crops, so that
farmers in that vicinity are op
timistic.
Only Four Ordinaries In
One Hundred Years.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 28.—A year
ago today the present Ordinary
of Clarke county, Dr. R. C. Orr,
was elected at a primary election.
The anniversary calls to note the
fact though this county is con
siderably more than a hundred
years old it has had only four or
dinaries, and the latest, the
fourth, has been in office less
than a year. The first ordinary
of Clarke was Asa M. Jackson,
who served more than fifty years;
the second was Judge S. M. Her
rington, serving sixteen years;
then Judge S. B. Wingfield, who
served twelve years. The act
creating the office of ordinary to
take the place of the “judge of
the inferior court” was not
passed, however, till 1849.
Could Not Trust Himself.
An Irishman, who was too old
for active work, says the Argo
naut, was offered the position of
crossing-tender at a small rail
road-station. He looked dubious
as the duties of the office and the
meaning of the various flags
were explained to him.
“In case of danger with a train
coming, of course you wave the
red flag,” said his friend, pro
ceeding with his explanation. A
hard old hand grasped his arm.
“Man, dear, it’ll never do,”
said Patrick, shaking his head
solemnly. “I could never trust
meself to remember to wave a
red flag whin there was a green
wan handy.”
Sumter Farmers Are
To Plant Alfalfa, j
Americus, Sept. 30.—Sumter)
county farmers ai - e going to plant
alfalfa. D. W. Ebaugh, who j
owns a $50,000 Sumter county
plantation, has planted an ex
perimental field, and will put an
even larger area in alfalfa. Mr.
Ebaugh explains the mode of
land preparation for alfalfa as
follows:
“Last year the land was plant
ed in peas. The first of this
season it grew a crop of corn.
The corn was gathered in August,
and all the weeds cut out and
burned. We then spread fifteen
wagon loads of stable manure
broadcast over two acres. Then
we plowed the land with a three
horse plow weighed down so that
it would plow as deeply as pos
sible. And right here let me say
peep plowing is one of secrets of
successful farming.
‘ 'Then we harrowed the field.
After letting it stand idle for two
days we plowed it crossways the
furrows made in the first plow
ing, and again we harrowed it.
After five days 2,000 pounds of
lime was thrown on the field.
This was harrowed in and the
land was rolled with a clod crush
er. Three days later we put
1,000 pounds of good commercial
fertilizer on the field, this was
well harrowed.
“Then we inoculated the soil
with 800 pounds of inoculated
sand given us by Uncle Sam.
This was harrowed. Then we
planted the inoculated seed.
Twenty pounds to the acre was
required and we planted it cross
ways, that is, like a checker
board. Then, finally, we went
over it and x'emoved all lumps
and racks and now we are wait
ing for the harvest. It took us
a month to prepare the ground,
but we will raise enough, if the
weather is at all favorable, to
get five or six cuttings next
season. We expect to get at
least a ton to the acre at each
cutting.”
Killed Rattler.
Mr. Sikes Collins of Soperton
Route 3 was among our many pat
rons here Monday. A few days
ago he killed a rartlesnake near
his place measuring four and a
half feet and having ten rattles.
It was trailed by a dog and was
one of a number killed in that
vicinity this season.
Hats Off to This Man.
In every newspaper w T e pick
up we’re sure to find a lot of
gush about the man behind the
counter and the man behind the
gun; the man behind the buzz
saw and the man behind the sun;
the man behind the times and
the man behind his rents; the
man behind the plowshare and
the man behind the fence; the
man behind the whistle and the
man behind the cars; the man
behind the kodak and the man
behind the bars; the man behind
his wiskers and the man behind
his fist; and everything behind
has entered on the list. But
they’ve skipped another fellow
of whom nothing has been said—
the fellow who is even or a little
way ahead; who always pays for
what he gets, whose bills are al
ways signed; he’s a blamed sight
more important than the man
who is behind. All we editors
and merchants, and the whole
commercial clan, are indebted to
this honest fellow man. He
keeps us all in business and his
town is never dead; and so we
i take off our hats to the man who
is ahead.
- -
A Square Deal.
Give the people a square deal.
We have done this the past two
seasons, and as a result so far
j this season we have received more
cotton than ever before. We
! give the correct weight, tell them
the grade and show them the
market price, and knowing what
it cost to handle, they refuse any
but a fair offer. We represent
the Southern States Cotton Cor
poration. Bring your selling cer
tificate.
