VARIETY FARMING HOPE OF SOUTH Should not Risk Chances on Necessaries and the Substantiate. The day of the all-cotton farm er in the South is passing. Not because cotton is not a good crop, but that a planter should not risk his next year’s sustenance on a single crop, when a variety would grow just as well, and in the long run would be more profita ble. It combines an important eco nomic principle, that risking the necessaries of life is harmful. All farming is a form of speculation, involving many risks, gains or losses, which either may lower one to poverty or enrich him. If the average farmer raises a “bumper” cotton crop and makes a splendid profit, he lives with bounty and luxury, which of course is really harmful to him. But if his crop fails he lives for the next year on practically noth ing, doing without the important necessaries of life. What is the remedy for such a condition? It is to plant a variety—corn, grain and vegetables as well as cotton. Also in stock raising. It is noticed that in the latter ease the possession of the actual ne cessities of life and its luxuries does not depend on on 6 crop, but on several. If the cotton crop fails the one-crop man is help less, but if it fails for the variety man, his corn, grain and stock ought to be amply sufficient to support his family. —Dallas New Era. Profiting By The War. The latest estimate of the value of orders received in this country for army and navy sup plies for the belligerent nations is $250,000,000. That is a lot of money. It will go a long way towards keeping the balance of trade in favor of the United States. On the one hand this country is selling to Europe at good prices, of course, horses for use on *the battlefield, shoes and clothing for soldiers, arms, parts of warships, shells and other am munition, And on the other hand we are sending a ship load of toys for children made father less in the war and several ships loaded with food for those whom > the war threatened with starva tion. Business and sentiment are working hand in hand, making big shipments of a great variety of things to Europe. Our food, given freely, will feed children whose fathers, wearing our shoes, were killed while shooting ammmunition made by us. Our toys, given gladly, will cheer children made fatherless by shells manufactured by us. Some may think it would be better if we sent no supplies to Europe for the armies, and yet who can say they will not serve to bring the war, and hence the suffering, more quickly to an end?-Savan nah News. Getting On Safe Side. Even the war has its bright side, says the New York Sun. The negro porters were discuss ing it as they waited for a train to pull into the station. “Man,” said the first, “dem Germany submaroons is sho-ly gwine to sink de British navy. Yas, sir-ee de’s sho-ly gwine to 'splode dem naval boats dat’s waitin’ out yonda.” “Sho!” said porter No. 2. “An’ what’s gwine to happen den?” “Why, dem Germany subma roons ’ll come right on ’cross de ocean an’ 'splode de rest ob de naval boats ob de world. Dat’s what’ll happen den Sarnbo!” “Well, looky heah, Gawge. Ain’t yo’ an’ me better decia’ ouahselves a couple o’ noot—noo tral nootralitles?” “Man,” said Gawge, ‘yo all kin be a nootrality if yo’ wants to. Ah’m aGerman!” Aged Macon Lady Died at Age of 102. Macon’s oldest resident, Mrs. Hettie Gladwell, is dead at the age of 102 years. She died Tues day (of last week) at her home on Main street, East Macon, af ter a brief illness. Mrs. Gladwell had outlived all of the members of her immediate family and had made home for many years with friends. She came to Macon when a child and and was one of the first residents of the settlement which later be came one of the leading cities of the state. When Mrs. Gladwell was born Macon was not known. She was 13 years of age when the town of Macon was incorporated, and it was made up largely of Indians at that time. Many of the oldest residents of Macon will remember Mrs. Glad well and will learn with regret of her death. She had lived the life of a recluse for a number of years and was hardly known to the present generation.—Macon Telegraph. Two Billions a Year Is Spent For Booze. Atlanta, Nov. 13.—Two billion dollars is spent annually in the United States for intoxicating liquors, according to Daniel A. Poling, national superintendent of temperance and Christian cit izenship of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. Mr. Poling was the chief speaker here to night at th<> annual convention of the Woman’s Christian Tem perance Union. “Eliminate the drink bill of the nation and you will have an era of prosperity that is incompar able,” continued Mr. Poling. “Seventy-five per cent, of the drink bill of America is paid by the laboring man —by men whose homes go lacking because of in sufficient money. “Constitutional prohibition is coming. It is now dawning. We must fight liquor with more vigor than we would give battle to an invading army. There is no mil itary force in the universe so de vasting as alcohol.” The afternoon session of the convention was devoted to me morial exercises in honor of Mrs. M. N. Stevens of Portland, Ore., late president of the union. Va rious speakers eulogized the de parted leader. 25 Counties Carried By The Progressives. Os 72,000 ballots cast in the re cent general election, the official returns received at the capitol in Atlanta, show that Senator Hoke Smith received less than two thirds of the vote. The votes were consolidated in the office of A. H. Ulm. secretary to the gov ernor. Twenty-five counties gave ma jorities to C. W. McClure, Sena tor Smith’s opponent, and 20 gave majorities to G. R. Hutchens,- Mr. Hardwick’s opponent. Senator Smith’s total vote as 48,423, and that of Mr. McClure, 23,578. A few small counties have not been heard from. Mr. Hardwick received 49,023 and G. R. Hutchens, 23,408. Anti Suffragistic. Southerners are notoriously ! fond of hot rolls, but they have a confection called “Sally Lunn” which is even more highly prized among them. It is not the sort iof thing one has every day. It is I for special occasions, relates the : Literary Digest. “Uncle Williams,” said the housewife to the much spoiled | old family servant who presided over most of the domestic ar rangements— “Uric’ Williams, !don’t you think it is about time for us to have some Sally Lunn?” j “Naw’m, Miss Ma’y, naw’m. 1 Don’t le's have none er dat. I ain’t never had no fancy for dat ! female bread!” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 1914. MACON, DUBLIN & SAVANNAH R.Y. Schedule Effective 12:01 a. m. April 12, 1914.
