MEAT SAME
AS THE CASH
Johnson County Man Buys
What He Needs with
Home Product.
Talk about progressive farm
ing but Johnson county is getting
more and more in that line every
year whether it has the much
heralded packing and cold stor
age plants or not. It has some
of these wide-awake kind of citi
zens who know how to make ev
ery cut count. That is what it
takes anyhow. It is fast forging
the front. Just set up and take
notice of it within the next five
years. Though little she is loud
and able.
One farmer living out on a R.
F. I). from Kite in the eastern
section, John C. Powell by name,
wanted a new buggy, harness
and all. He didn’t have the cash
and being adverse to going in
debt he didn’t know just how he
was going to get the outfit. A
bright thought of the seasoned
ham and side and shoulder, hun
dreds of pounds of it, lying back
in the smokehouse bank, dawned
upon him.
He loaded a one-horse wagon,
came to Wrightsville, bought and
paid for the entire outfit with the
meat which brought him over a
hundred dollars cash. He swap
ped the meat to Mr. Cook, who
is with the Wrightsville Mercan
tile Co., for the outfit. Mr, Cook
says that he will be glad to ex
change anything he carries for
home-made meat, thus encourag
ing the people of the county to
raise more meat by assisting
them to market the product.
Other merchants and farmers
may easily profit by this example.

Big Price Paid For
Half Bred Cattle.
The three half bred steers that
attracted so much attention at
the cattle show in Moultrie were
sold to the Moultrie Packing
Company. The price paid for
them was eight cents a pound
and the three brought I*2ol. They
were from common Georgia cows
and were by a thoroughbred
Hereford bull. Two of them I
were two and a half years old
and the third was 18 months old.
The packing house sold two of
them locally, one to C. W. Isom
and one to the Sanitary market.
These mixed cows caused more
comment at the cattle show than
anything else exhibited, because
they pointed out the possibility
of the successful raising of cattle
right in Colquitt and adjoining
counties. It does not require any
fortune to buy a pure bred bull,
and by crossing him with the reg
ular South Georgia cow, cattle
can be raised for which there is
a heavy demand and which j
brings twice as much as the com
mon scrub. Lyons Progress.
Many Peaches are Sold.
Fort Valley. July 29. Up to
this date 1,089 cars of peaches
have been shipped from Fort
Valley and there will doubtless
be a total of l,ltX) when the sea
son closes Friday.
A remarkable record for the
Georgia Fruit exchange is that
with all the rains of the past
three weeks not one carload of
peaches shipped by them has
been delayed a day on the road.
This cannot be said of shipments
independent of the exchange.
About 150 cars were lost by
Fort Valley growers on account
of the rains, the growers being
unable to get the peaches picked
before they were too ripe for
market. Perhaps a total of 500
cars were lost by the state, ac
cording to reports from the offices
of the fruit exchange.
The prices have held up satis
factorily throughout the season
and this week closes one of the
best seasons in the history of the
peach.

Nancy Hart Picture will
be in Capitol Art Gallery.
The Capital art gallery in At
lanta will be supplemented with
a painting of Nancy Hart in the
“Capture of Five Tories,” if the
Senate adopts a resolution passed
by the House Tuesday.
The presentation is to be made
by the Piedmont Continental
Chapter, Daughters of American j
Revolution, through its regent,
Mrs. Richard P. Brooks. The
painting is to be forty-eight by
sixty-eight inches in size.
The resolution directs that the
picture be hung upon the walls
of the Capitol.
The capture of five tories by
Nancy Hart took place in the
lower edge of the county of Hart
from whom it was named.- Hart

Local Legislation.
Elsewhere on this page is an
editorial reprinted from the Ma
cor Telegraph which describes
the eftect? of one chronic disease
from which u.c l egislature of
Georgia is suffering; that disease
is local legislation. Let local leg
islation be handled locally and
the disease will be eradicated,
with several good results; one of
them would be the saving of the
state’s time, which means the
state’s money, for annual ses
sions could be cut in half, at
least, or biennial sessions could
be established. The legislators
would begin to think in terms of
the whole state, their legislative
energies would be directed to
ward the perfection of measures
for the good of the whole state
and would not be largely taken
up with little local bills of inter
est to from fifty persons to a few
thousands, and of no interest
whatever to ninety-nine-hun
dreths of the population of Geor
gia.
The personnel of the Legisla
ture would be expected to show
improvement because the voters
would think of legislative candi
dates, not as handlers of petty
local bills, but as representatives
of the great state and handlers
of legislation affecting nearly
3,000,000 persons. Respect for
the Legislature as a body would
increase with improvement in its
personnel and the increased aver
age importance of its labors, and
perhaps the day would come
when not petty politics, but the
good of the state, would be, not
part of the time, but always the
guiding principle for all its mem
bers. Savannah News.
Butts R. F. D. Service
Is Ordered Restored.
Jackson, Ga., July 29.—Due,
it is believed, to the stubborn
kicks made by the patrons, an
nouncement is made this week
that the postoffice authorities will
restore the old rural route ser
vice in Butts county, as it existed
prior to November I, 1915.
The two routes that were lop
ped off from the Jackson office
will tie restored and the service
at Jenkinsburg and Flovilla will :
be placed on the former basis. |
Since the shakeup of last fall the
service in Butts county has never
been satisfactory and there has
been a good deal of kicking.
Congressman J. W. Wise re
cently interested himself in the,
matter and the former reliable
service will be put on, after sev
eral months of experimenting.
The two routes added will be fill
ed by substitute carriers until an
examination can be held. The
approximate length of each route
will be 85 miles.
