VALUABLE LESSON FOR OUR FARMERS Independence Comes With Raising Hogs For a Sure Market. Here is a valued object lesson for the farmers of Muscogee and other counties of the district in both Georgia and Alabama, as set forth by the Atlanta Consti tution in an editorial comment entitled, “Independent of Cot ton.” Every one should read and re-read: “Farmers of that portion of Taylor county around Reynolds have just shipped to Atlanta three carloads of hogs, upon which the net proiit to those par ticipating in the shipment was approximately $5,000. “This first large shipment of pork from the little town of Rey nolds naturally attracted more attention, not merely from the standpoint of curiosity, but from that of an object lesson whose importance cannot be overesti mated. “Taylor county is located with in the territory already invaded by the boll weevil. Cotton plant ing in that county this year will be subject to boll weevil attack and boll weevil destruction. But boll weevils do not eat hogs and cattle. While she transition of the Taylor county from all cotton to that of diversification which means more foodstuffs ar. 1 more hogs and cattle has been rather a slow one, the value and im portance of it have been fully recognized and other carloads of hogs and cattle will follow these to a market that is eagerly await ing them. “The farmers who raised these hogs have made themselves in dependent of cotton. They do not, of course, propose to aban don wholly the growing of cotton, which is a natural product of Georgia and the south. But when they turn it into a surplus in stead of an entire crop they make it their servant rather than their master.” —Columbus Ledger. Drunkenness is a Very Terrible Disease. One of the ablest men, and one of the most earnest in America, said to his friends very recently: I never drink, as you know. But when I seeaman lying drunk in the gutter 1 know that he has probably made that very day a harder effort at self-control, no bler struggle to control himself than I ever made in my life. He has yielded and fallen at last, but only because all of his strength is insufficient to overcome the' disease that possesses him. Teach your children that drunkenness is a horrible disease, j as bad as leprosy. Warn them that it can be avoid ed, that the disease is contracted in youth through carelessness, and it is spread by those who encourage drinking in others. Tell them that the avoiding of liquor is not merely a question of morals or obedience to parents, but a question of involving men tal and physical salvation, suc cess in life, happiness and the; respect of others. —Atlanta Geor gian.

Atlanta, Ga., March 10. — Its liability under the admirality law having been established, the In ternational Marine Company has paid SIO,WO to Mrs. Jacques Futrelle, whose husband was drowned in the sinking of the Titanic, in which disaster Mrs. Futrelle, who is widely known here, was saved. Announcement to this effect was made Wednesday, Mrs. Fu trelle having been represented in the litigation by the Atlanta law firm of Dorsey, Brewster, Howell and Heyman, and by Jarm 3 Alli son Kelly, of New York City. ' ' Enforcing the Law on Registering Automobiles.' Atlanta, Ga., March 10. —Sher ! iffs throughout the state, accor ! ding to Secretary of State Phil | Cook, are enforcing the motor vehicle law, and as a result of the firm stand they have taken ; there will le an increase of at least 10,000 in the number of au tomobiles and automobile trucks j j registered this year compared i i with last year. Approximately 25,000 license tags were issued last year, inclu ding tags for motorcycles. Sec retary Cook anticipated theie would be an increase this y< al and ordered 5,000 more tags sor 1 automobiles, the motorcycle tags this year being separate and dis- j tinct from the automobile tags. ! Practically all of this increase l as been exhausted already, or 0 nearly- so that Secretary Ccck knows it will be, and accordingly he has placed an order for anoth er 5,000 tags, making a total of 35,000 tags. Makes a Difference. An old lady on board a vessel observed two sailors pumping up water to wash the deck, and. the captain being near, she accosted him as follow's: “Well, captain, so yo’ve got a well on board, eh? “Yes, ma’am, always carry o.ie,” said the polite captain, “Well, that’s clever. It’s so much better than the nasty sea water, which I always dislike so. ’’ Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele- j graph. i Take This for La Grippe Coughs The danger of la grippe lies in ?

Court Decided Wisely. i The Georgia Court of Appeals has recently held that a person who, in running an automobile at a reckless speed, injures another 'in a collision, can be held for as- I sault and battery. Since this is so, perhaps more of the drivers ,vill restrain that speed impulse. The roads of Georgia are becom ing better year by year; automo i biles and buggies bring more people to town; the streets are are more crowded, so it behooves all auto drivers to be more care ful of the life and limb of those on the highways. The Court of Appeals has de cided wisely.—Forsyth Advertis er. Cashier Reinhart Gets Long Jail Sentence. Danielsville, Ga., March 10. — jj. L.
