Send the Veterans to Macon.
The General Reunion of Con
federate Veterans will be held in
Macon in 1912. It may be the last
general reunion.
It seems to us that all the vete
rans of Henry county ought to be
there. Many will go and pay
their own way.
Some perhaps cannot afford to
go for lack of means. The dis
tance is short and the fare will be
low. A small amount will carry
and keep there many men.
Let the people of Henry county
come forward and subscribe the
money necessary to enable every
veteran to attend.
There are not many acts of
gratitude we can do to these he
roes. They will more highly
prize this trip than whole fields of
Flowers in which to sleep their
last sleep.
What do people think of it?
The Weekly will do all it can in
the movement.
YACHT FOR GOSPEL WORK.
Pastor Russell to Work Among Sailor*
In the Port.
[From the New York American, June 4,
1910.]
Pastor Russell, president of the Peo
ples Pulpit Association, was yesterday
presented, for Christian mission work,
the fully equipped and seaworthy
Angel, a naphtha and sailing yacht.
She is fybout 12.1 feet over all. has seat
ing eapnabty in dining saloon for seven
ty persefls and is prepared for main
dock meetings in fair weather.
As indicated by Pastor Russell in tils
acceptance of the vessel, unique work
will be undertaken in New York liar
bor. It is said the meetings on board
the Angel will be advertised from day
today, stating her moorings as well as
the language of the speaker. Thus all
who desire may keep in touch with
this witness of the “gospel of glad tid
ings to all nations.”
“Fortunately, my friends, this gift is
not wholly a surprise to me,” said Pas
tor Russell in accepting it. “1 had
intimations and was in touch with
some of you respecting the Angel
Nevertheless 1 am at a loss for fitting
words .wherewith to express my appre
ciation of your loving zeal In following
a suggestion 1 dropped respecting the
soul needs of the sailors of all nation
alities visiting this great port.
“Let me. then, briefly say 1 accept
your gift, not in my own name, but in
the name of the Peoples Pulpit Asso
eiatiou—as its trustee, if you please
May the Angel always and in every
language sound forth the praises of
the God of all grace!

A Literary Coincidence.
“Mr father. W. Clark Russell,” said
Herbert Russel! In telling of a literary
coincidence, “had finished maturing the
plot of his novel, ‘The Death Ship.’
which is a version of the legend of Van
derdecken. I was his amanuensis at
the time. He said to me. ‘Tomorrow
we will begin the story.’ On the fol
lowing morning when I entered his
study to take liis dictation of the open
ing lines be showed me a letter he had
Just received. It was from W. S. Gil
bert. the well known dramatist, asking
him why he did not write a novel
about the FTyiug Dutchman."
BACK FROM PALESTINE.
Pastor R ussell’s Return From Visiting
Holy Land and Egypt.
[From N- Y. Herald, Sunday. June 6. 1910. |
Pastor Russell of the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle has returned from a trip to the
Holy Land and Egypt and will address
the public today at the Brooklyn Acad
emy of Music. Mr. Russell has cer
tain interesting Ideas regarding the
Great Pyramid and its symbolic teach
ing and believes the time is at hand
for the return of Israel to Palestine.
He Is a very pronounced believer in
the Zionlstic movement.
The present is the second visit to the
Pyramid and to Palestine, the land
once Israel’s. In one of his works pub
lished more than twenty years ago Mr.
Russell applied certain measurements
of pyramid passages, an inch for a
year, as symbolically showing the
length of divine favor upon the Jews
from the time they became a nation
down to the year A. D. 70, when Jeru
salem was destroyed ana the Jewish
polity ended.
In the same work he declared also
that certain passageways symbolically
indicated the length of time during
which the nation of Israel would be
cut off from any and all special mani
festations of divine fevor, and when
this would end tin- favoi of God would
again return to them.
Mottled Butter.
Question —Hon. O. B. Com
Agriculture: Dear Sir: I am trou
bled in my dairy business with waht
Is known as “Mottled Butter.” Please
give me the cause and remedy for it
Answer —In reply to your inquiry we
beg to state that the answer to your
question is quite difficult, since the
opinions of dairymen differ widely on
this subject.
The peculiar spotted appearance
which we find in the uneven coloring
often seen in butter, is called “mot
tles” by dairymen. The chief char
acteristic of mottled butter is that some
portions of the same piece are much
lighter colored than others. This
condition is only noticeable when it
has stood a few hours after being
worked. The white specks that are
often seen in butter caused by small
pieces of dry curd, can hardly be
termed “mottled butter.” They can
be prevented by passing the milk
through a hair sieve strainer. Mot
tles occur more frequently in the
months of May, June and July, and are
oftener found in private dairies than
In the larger ones or in creameries,
because the proprietors of the small
dairies do not generaly have the best
machinery for handling butter.
The cause of mottles, however, is
yet in dispute. Our own opinion is
that uneven distribution of salt is the
chief cause.
Care should always be taken to salt
the butter when first taken from tho
churn and none but the very finest
wnd cleaneßt salt should be used. It
•hould be thoroughly worked into the
butter while yet soft.
‘While It is true that butter may be
overworked, some of the best dairy
men suggest that, after it has beeD
worked, it should be set away in a re
frigerator and then be given a final
working. Some dairymen claim that
the effect produced by two much cold
water and ice in handling milk and
butter is also a cause of mottles
Just why salt causes mottles has
not been satisfactorily explained Bui,
most dairymen now agree that the
sait drives out the buttermilk along
with excess of water In butter, and
the fact that unsalted portions appear
to have excess of buttermilk rvould
suggest this as a possible good expla
nation.

AMERICA’S “SPURGEON.”
England’s Leading Daily’s Opinion of
Brooklyn’s Graat '’-eacher.
IFrom the Lomion Daily Mail.]
One of America’s most remarkable
men. Pastor Russell of Brooklyn tab

most prominent pulpit orator In the
United States, has recently arrived in
London. He Is the Spurgeon of Amer
ica and is visiting in England in con
nection with the May meetings.
GREEK ATHLETES.
The Way They Hun and the Style of
Track They lied.
“in the foot races of the ancient
Greeks,” says a writer, “the shape of
the stadium caused a great difference,
since it was not circular, but long and
narrow', with one or both ends semicir
cular. Consequently the runners had
to take a sharp turn at the end of each
lap, while except at the turn they were
running a straight course. Evidently
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part of the race as
a kind of drill, taking eqch movement
separately.
“In early times, when all the runners
turned round the same post, the turn
gave opportunities for foul play, and
there are stories of one competitor trip
ping another at the post or seizing him
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later, in the shorter distances at
least, each runner had his own track
and post to turn round, and probably
the separate courses were roped off in
much the same way as they are now
in sprint races. For the start elaborate
arrangements were made and at Olym
pia the stone slabs are s 1 ill to be seen,
with the grooves at regular intervals
that had to be toed at starting.
“Greek long distance men ran in the
most approved style of the present
day. But the sprinters apparently em
ployed a considerable amount of arm
action and took very long steps, rising
well on to the toes. Then there was the
race in armor, an event highly praised
by several of the Greek writers as a
valuable preparation for war and
which is supposed to explain the fa
mous running charge of the Athenians
at Marathon ’
Monster Spider (Wabs.
“I have collected specimens of crabs
In all parts of the world,” said a nat
uralist, “hut I shall never forget the
pleasure I experienced in securing a
monstrous specimen of the Japanese
spider crab, the largest ever found.
The combined length of the feeding
arms of this monster was more than
twelve feet, while the body portiois
was about twenty inches across. When
alive, it weighed about seventy-flvo
pounds. One of the oddest things
about these creatures is their ability
to assume a disguise. This feat they
are able to perform owing to the flexi
bility of their pinchers and to the
hooked hairs and spines with which
their numerous arms are studded. By
means of their pinchers they tear off
small fragments of sponges and sea
weeds. After first putting these to
their months, which contain a glutinous
saliva, they place them on the sur
face of their limbs and bodies b}
sticking them fast with a rubbing
movement. By this method the crab
succeeds in completely changing its
appearance and rendering itself indis
tinguishable from the materials com
mon to the bottom of the sea. While
crawling along it seems as though a
portion of the ocean bed was in mo
tion, so eiose is the resemblance.”
Agricultural Progress fr the South.
Secretary Wilson, of the United
States department of agriculture, in
a survey of agricultural progress in
the south in the same publication,
urgfes a greater average yield pel acre
than a greater acreage Of cotton, the
return, as far as possible, <o the soil
of the fertilizing ingredients of cotton
seed and greater attention to live
stock industries, and be adds: “I be
lieve that the south will not much
longer be known and thought of pri
marily as the land o’ cotton.’ but a#
a great and prosperous region of va
ried agricultural industries. With the
great industrial progress of the south
ern states and the development of
their wonderful mineral and manufac
turing resources comes the best of all
markets for the farmer —the great
home market. More and more I hop#
to see the agriculture of the south di
versified as this great home market
expands. Let the cotton crop continue
to increase in total production, but
let its growth be rather by a higher
average per acre than by a very large
extension of the area under this crop.
Let southern farmers keep the , ant
food at home and send the product
of the farm to market in the form of
manufactured articles (manufactured
on the farm by nature’s processes)
rather than in the form of raw matfr
rial. Let them grade up their flocks
and herds and keep many more of all
kinds of domestic animals. Let then:
renovate the soil by the use of legumes
and save all the fertilizing material
that the farm itself produces. Ther
will the agriculture of the south show

Profligate Spendthrift*.
The wealth of many of the ancient
Romans was reckoned far into the
millions. Mark Antony during his
somewhat checkered career squander
ed no less than $735,000,000, and Ti
berius left at his death over eighteen
millions, which Caligula spent in less
than a year. Records show that this
spendthrift paid $150,000 for One sup
per. Horace tells us that Pegellus. a
singer, could in five days spend $40,-
000, and Clodius on a small wager
swallowed a pearl worth nearly $40.-
000. The estate of Crassus was valued
at $8,400,000. Lucullus dined at the
rate of SB,OOO a meal for several weeks.
Lentuius was worth not less than six
teen millions, and Apieus squandered
nearly five millions of dollars in a few
weeks.
