IS DEAD, ARTHUR HAS PASSED
BY ARTHUR KROCK,
Editor The Louisvelle Times.
Ulysses is dead, and there is no hand
Jhg the living strong enough to
F k the bow he has laid down.
Fhor is vanished into the mists be¬
nd V alhalla, and his hammer shall
st because none can wield it after
im.
King Arthur has entered the black
bat ge and made the last crossing to
' alley where there is neither rain,
>r mist, nor any snow, and no other
ay lay his grip upon the hilt of Ex
Rhur, for in the passing from life
Henry Watterson his genius died
him.
He was the beginning and the end
of a dynasty. There were no predeces
sors, there will be no successors. He
uas nature’s rare child, dowered with
fall the talents to perform great tasks.
, His pen was golden, his voice was sil
■ver; his personality was diamond. He
could augment the brilliant torrents
that flowed from his pen with an ora
tory that, was matchless in its day.
and then, in conference, ----—ov he could cuuni over- UV cl
-
f whelm his opponents with charm, and,
by sheer genius of companionship
make them his friends.
American journalism was a rude
weapon when he picked it up in Wash
ington before the war. It had strength
and force, but it was vulgar and often
poisonous. No ha^td so finely fashioned
for its wielding had laid hold of it un¬
til the slender boy from Tennessee
-grasped it in the press gallery of con
■ gress. It was early in his career that
he realized that journalism is only a
distant kinsman, of literature, and he
laid aside any pride he might have in
the method for the better doing of the
task. He had had his dreams or poems
i an( i plays and novels, and the fire M
j genius that burned in him would have
given him dominance in the literary
field.
But he came on the national scene
at a time when his powers could ac¬
complish more for the world by writ¬
ing of the current, and into the cur¬
rent he threw himself.
A dominant personality, a great or¬
atorical gift, an ability to write with
music and with fire, all joined with u
level head to accomplish the tasks of
reconstruction. In averting worse evils
than the south ever experienced—the
fate of a conquered province—Henry
Watterson played a greater part than
any man in the United States.
Through the darkness of know-noth¬
ing days, in the fantasy of free silver,
the nightmare of government owner
and the meance of the Roosevelt
ynasty, Mr. Watterson followed his
rilliant course as a planet flames
through Cimmerian murk. In every
great issue that arose before the
American people for over 50 years his
voice and his pen wielded more influ¬
ence than nearly any other.
In short, he had written his name
in slashing letters across three genera¬
tions of history in the United States
id Europe.

HENRY FORD INTERESTED
IN A. B. & A. RAILROAD
Atlanta, Ga., December 28—Follow¬
ing reoprts received here that engin
eers of Henry Ford, working on the
big Messel Shoals. Ala., project, have
inspected harbor facilities at Bruns
wick ’ Ga > including the A. B. & A
rail ' va v terminal property, business
-
men here see £ reat possibilities for the
........———- ...... ...c
Atlama; Birmingham and Atlantic
Bailway could be used to great advan
by Ford in developing his
!)lans - is Pointed out by Atlanta man
ukict urers and busness leaders. They
a ' R0 skow that this naturally would
mean a tremendous development for
Brunswick and all the territory tribu¬
tary to the railroad.
Agricultural men here point ^ to the
fa< t that there are vast stretches of
virgin, fertile lands along the A. B. &
A. railway which may be obtained at
cheap prices. With the confidence
which the public would have in the ul
- ..............—
timate futui 'e of the railroad, once ae
quired by Mr - Ford . it would be a very
simple matter to quickly develop and
place thrifty settlors upon every un¬
developed acre tributary to the road.
The outlook at Brunswick, which is
being discussed here in business cir¬
cles, is ’
regarded as unusual and far
reaching. With the large expenditure
for increasing the plant of the Atlan¬
tic Refining Company, involving some¬
thing like a million and a half dollars;
large expenditures for road improve
ment on the mainland and the con¬
struction of the magnificent causeway
and bridge to St. Simons Inland—all
now on the program for 1922—the pos¬
sibility of Mr. Ford taking over the
A. B. & A. railway and further devel¬
oping the port of Brunswick and the
opportunity Brunswick has for secur¬
ing the location there of the “State
Port” and elevators to he constructed
by the State of Georgia, business men
here recognize one of the most en¬
couraging signs of the return to pros¬
perous conditions that has been re¬
ported from any section of the South.
If Henry Ford gets the Mussel
Sholas plant and acquires the A. B.
& A. railway, as reported, it is believ¬
ed here that developments will be un¬
dertaken in the states of Georgia. Ala¬
bama and other southern states which
will place the South on the industrial
map of the world as perhaps no other
section of country has been placed be¬
fore.

WHAT TO EAT.
The time for serving wild duck is at
hand and the inexperienced housewife
deep and wide enough to nearly Im¬
merse the duck. Melt the paraffin
and, while it is still hot but not boiling,
dip in the duck, turning well to see
that every part is well covered with
paraffin. Now lay out In the air to
coot. When the paraffin Is hard, not
before, begin to peel off the feathers.
If the dipping has been well done the
feathers will come off like a glove
pulled from the hand, leaving the deli¬
cate flesh without a sign of a pin¬
feather. Now they may be drawn and
trussed, ready for the roasting pan.
Those who enjoy the wild, gamey flavor
of the duck do not wish to have It de¬
stroyed by any stuffing that Is at all
highly seasoned. Some use a bunch of
celery, or an onion, while others enjoy
an—
Apple and Bread Stuffing. —To three
cupfuls of bread, broken in bits, add
three apples, pared and cut In small
bits, two and one-half tablespoonfuls of
onion, chopped, one teaspoonful of
sage, two tablespoonfuls of melted but¬
ter, one teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter
teaspoonful of pepper; mix all together
and stuff the ducks. The ducks are
now ready for the oven. Cover the
breast and legs with slices of fat salt
pork and cook in a very hot oven,
basting every five minutes with the
drippings In the pan. Bake 30 minutes.
Tame duck requires twice the time for
cooking. Those who wish to remove
some of the fishy, or wild flavor, par¬
boil the ducks in water with a spoonful
of vinegar.
Salads which are appropriate to
serve with duck are orange, apple, or
any mildly acid fruit in combination.
Olive sauce Is a great favorite and
wild plum, currant or green grape jelly
should accompany a duck course. A
young duck Is delicious broiled; split
It down the back, flatten out and broil
quickly until done to suit the taste.
