FARMERS BEY
REGISTERED BULLS
Herd of Shorthorns Bought
To Boost Cattle
* Raising.
Albany, Ga., June 28.—Sixty
nine head of registered Short
horn bulls and cows are being
shipped out from Albany to pur
chasers from all over Georgia
who attended the convention and
sale conducted by the American
Shorthorn Cattle Breeders’ Asso
ciation in this city, on Wednes
day, which was attended by sev
eral hundred farmers and stock
raisers.
At this most propitious time
for beginning the raising of reg
istered cattle, Georgia farmers in
vested nearly $12,000 in breed
ing stock, the average price paid
for the cattle being sl7l per
head. Many of the farmers who
came to Albany stated that they
have such large crops of grain
and forage this year that they
decided this year was the best to
start cattle raising.
The convention and sale, which
were held under the auspices of
the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce, by the Albany Chamber
of Commerce and the agricultural
department of the Central of
Georgia railway, with the active
assistance of the bureau of ani
mal husbandry of the state col
lege of agriculture, was highly
successful. Among the speakers
were President Charles J. Haden,
of the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce; Prof. L. A. Niven, editor
of Southern Farming, and Prof.
Milton P. Jarnagin, in charge of
the department of animal hus
bandry of the State College of
Agriculture, who, with T. G.
Chastain, agriculturist of the
Central of Georgia railway in
spected all of the cattle before
they were brought to Albany and
put up at auction.
Only 124 Years Old
But Walks with Cane.
Jerry Neal, a colored resident
of Cave Spring, Ga., has just
celebrated the 124th anniversary
of his birthday. So far as known,
he is the oldest person in Geor
gia, if not in the United States,
having documents which estab
lish his age beyond question.
It is stated that he remembers
the war of 1812 and has been
married three times. The juxta
position of these statements may
or may not be significant. It may
be intended to indicate that the
dimness of the long vista of Jer
ry’s life and the vicissitudes that
enter into 124 years of existence
may have caused him to confuse
the the combat with the mother
country with some of the domes
tic infelicities in which the moth-1
ers of his 43 children had a part.
But, be that as it may, an in
teresting portion of a statement
regarding Jerry’s birthday is that
while he is “well and hearty,”
he uses a cane when walking.
One seldom collides with so strik
ing an illustration of the truth of
the declaration that “into each
life some rain must fall.” Here
is a man who has reached the
hale, hearty and exuberant age
of 124 years upon whom the hand
of fate an infirmity has fallen so
heavily that he must use a cane
when he walks. Get us hope that
no such fate befalls us or our
friends. —Industrial Index.
Proving His Case.
A man who had received a jury
notice pleaded deafness as his
excuse for not attending.
“I really am deaf,” he said to
the clerk who was enrolling the
names.
“Prove it,” said the clerk.
The man hesitated, then his
face brightened as an organ com
menced play in the street outside.
“Can you hear that organ?”:
he asked.
“Yes,” replied the clerk.
“Well, I can’t,” replied the
man, triumphantly.

The Great Clock in
Strassburg Cathedral.
Strassburg, the capital of Al
sace-Lorraine, which is a crucial
center of strategy in the western
area of the war, is remarkable for
the great clock of its cathedral.
This clock, which is twenty
feet in height, was made by Jean
Baptiste Schwilgue in 1842. Be
sides various astronomical devices
indicating true solar time, it has
a great planetarum in which the
revolutions of the planets are rep
resented, so that the relative
positions of each at any time can
be seen at a glance.
Then on a platform are mova
ble figures representing the four
ages of man. At the first quarter
of an hour a child strikes the bell
with a rattle; a youth in the garb
of a hunter strikes it with an ar
row at the half hour; at the third
quarter a warrior strikes it with
his naked sword; and at the fourth
quarter an old man strikes it with
his crutch. Then a figure of
Death appears.
On the highest platform is a
natural sized figure of Christ,
and when Death strikes the hour
at noon the twelve Apostles pass
before the feet of their Master,
bowing as they do' so. As Peter
passes, a large cock perched on
one side flaps his wings, ruffles
his neck, and gives three times a
loud and perfectly natural crow.
President Wilson’s Party
Is Lost In Hills.
Windsor, Vt., June 29. Presi-j
dent Wilson and members of his
family, out for an afternoon au
tomobile ride became lost today I
in the foothills of the Green
Mountains, and for nearly five!
hours were riding through dense i
forests, up and down steep in
clines, part of the time in a driv
ing rain.
The President was accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. Francis B.
Sayre, Miss Margaret Wilson,
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, Dr.
Cary T. Grayson and several se
cret service men. The chauffeurs
of the two cars carrying the par
ty were from Washington and
the President knew the country
as well as any one with him.
At one place Mr. Sayre leaned
out and spoke to a farmer.
“Where does this road go?” he j
inquired.
“I’ve been living here all my|
life, and it never went any
where,” replied the man, while
the President tried to preserve
his gravity.

"Managing a railroad is quite differ
ent from managing a government
where the money is raised by taxa
tion. When the expenditures, for
| good* reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants of the pub
lic, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
Incomes, their rates being fixed by
public authorities.
"There is not a railway manager in
the country today who Is not fearful
that under the press of Increasing de
mands the transportation systems of
the country will, in a few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build it up. There are vast sections
of the country, especially in the West,
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail
* ways raise new capital.
"People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by Investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Hail
road securities must be made more
' attractive to Invite investments, and
in order that they may be made more
attractive, the roads must be allowed
earnings that will enable them to
meet the increased capital charges.”
