J. WALTER WISE
FORMER CONGRESSMAN FROM
SIXTH DISTRICT, FOLLOWING
PROTRACTED ILLNESS, PASS.
ES AT AGE OF FIFTY-SEVEN.
Monticello and Jasper county
friends of Hon., J. Walter Wise, of
Fayetteville,’ former congressman
from the Sixth district, learn with
deep regret of his death which oc
curred in an Atlanta hospital at an
early hour Wednesday of this week,
Mr. Wise had been in declining
health for some time past and only
recently was carried' to Atlanta for
medical treatment. An operation
‘was performed last week.
~ Funeral services were held Thurs
iday at McDonough.
’ Born In Henry County.
' The deceased, who was 57 years
old at the time of his passing, was
born in Henry county, and was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wise,
He was a lawyer and at one time
served in the Georgia Assembly.
Mr, Wise also served as solicitor
general of the Flint circuit for sev
eral years.
Surviving are his wife and four
children, Margaret, Olivia, Walter,
Jr., and George.
Frequent Visitor Here.
Mr. Wise was a frequent visitor to
Monticello and Jasper county where
he had many warm friends.
F. R. Edwards, animal husband
man, Georgia Experiment Station,
says:
“Experiments have shown beyond
a reasonable doubt that it does not
pay to milk a cow continuously right
up to the day of her freshening.
Almost any good cow can give milk
iright up to the day her calf is born
but it is a better and more profita
‘ble practice to dry her up several
‘weeks before this. This’ rest that
the cow gets before her calf comes
‘enables her to produce much more
‘milk after freshening and puts her in
good strong condition to withstand
lthe strain of a heayy milking period
without so much danger of sickness
and weakening of her constitutional
vigor. Continuous milking up to
freshening time undoubtedly tends
to reduce a cow’s productive life.
Generally it pays*to dry up. a cow
from six to ten weeks before her calf
is expected to be born. :
The Method Employed.
“Some heavy producing cows are
not easy to dry-up. But it is always
possible to dry a cow up within a
period of from two to three weeks
by cutting down on the amount of
grain or meal feed and green feed
and by milking her- less frequently
and by failing to remove all the milk
from her udder. Do this gradually
and get the milkings farther and
farther apart until she is giving only
a quart or two of milk daily.
~ “As soon as a cow is dry she
should be given all the rough feeds
!nhe needs to get her in good sappy
condition before calving. It is not
‘necessary or advisable to feed a dry
cow heavily on grain or meal feeds.
‘A cow should be fat but not overly
fat when her calf comes. : _
- “Do not let a cow go unbred too
long after calving. It does not pay.
It is recommended that a cow be
bred between one and four months
after calving. Failure to breed a
cow promptly results in financial
loss and in some cases long-delayed
breeding is thought to result in the
cow’s becoming barren.”
COTTON GROWERS’ CO.OOP |
TO FINANCIALLY AID THE |
_ FARMERS OF THIS SECTION‘
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 7.—As the
first step to render assistance to its
members in the drouth-stricken area
in certain sections of middle and all
of northeast Georgia, for producing
crops during the coming year, the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-opera
tive Association late yesterday after
noon, according to a statement issued
by its president, J. E. Conwell, ar
ranged for an additional amount of
capital stock to be used by the Asso
ciation such that it can secure for its
members in the drouth-stricken areu‘

MONTICELLO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1925,
CAPITALISTS ARE SEEKING IN
VESTMENTS IN GEORGIA AND
CAROLINAS. — TREMENDOUS
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
WASHINGTON.—MiIIions of dol
lars in investments will find their
way into Georgia and the two Caro
linas as a result of the unprecedented
number of people now going to and
returning from Florida within the
next twelve months. There is ne
doubt whatever « about it. While
there have been speculations from
time to time as to just what benefits
other parts of the South would get
from the thousands of people now
making for Florida, it was not until
recently that certain signs became as
plain as the handwriting on the wall.
Many Coming Back From Florida.
~ While thousands of people are
inow either en route to Florida or are
planning to go there during the next
‘three or four months, it should be
remembered that many are coming
back. Some have made their pile
and are ready to take their earnings
and invest elsewhere; others who
have not seen exactly where they‘
}could find the enchanted gold mine
made up their minds not to invest but
to look elsewhere. Add to these
thousands who will take some of the
gold out of Florida this winter, but
who knowing that such a situation
as exists there cannot last forever,
will profit by experience and take
their savings elsewhere. It is then,
from what is learned here, that three
states, North Carolina, South Caro
lina and Georgia, will profiit as they
have never done before. A tre
mendous commercial development
for all these states lies just ahead.
Aside from the reasons stated for
this condition of affairs lies the
more positive fact that there are tre
mendous opportunities for invest
ment in Macon, Atlanta, Columbia,
Charleston, and in North Carolina,
especially the section around Ashe
ville and down the line of the South
ern railroad into South Carolina.
Facts are quickly shaping them
selves in the investment world that
were either unknown or looked upon
as not feasible a ‘few years ago.

YIELDS TO DEATH
END COMES TO MRS. MARY ANN
FLORENCE TUESDAY MORN
ING AT 7:30 O'CLOCK AT HOME
OF DAUGHTER, MRS. MARSH.‘
Mrs. Mary Ann Florence, widow of
the late Judge A. S. Florence, suc
cumbed to death Tuesday morning at
seven thirty o’clock at the reaidencel
of her daughter, Mrs, R. L. Marsh,
after an illness of several weeks.
She was seventy-five years of age.
Sweet Christian Character.
For a long number of years she
was a beloved matron of this city and
was one of its sweetest Christian
characters. Her life was that of an
open book. It was gentle, but like
the still waters, it was deep. In her
heart of hearts she carried those she
loved and her hand was never weary,
her step never failed in ministering
unto, caring for, waiting upon those
who were in any way dependent
upon her. The spirit of her love!
was not weakness but strength.
Gently, almost unconsciously, it
‘coerced those coming in contact with
it, to strive for if not to attain the
realization of her high ideal. If
strangers felt the charm of her rare
courtesy and sunny temperament,
how much more so the members of
her own household upon whom she
lavished all the sweet earnestness
and careful culture of her mind and
nature.
She was an earnest worker in the
Master’s Vineyard, being a member
of the Monticello Methodist church.
As a citizen of the town and com
munity she was a shining light for
righteousness, peace and happiness
among neighbors and friends. In
her passing Monticello has lost a
most noble and splendid character.
Dr. Belk’s Remarks. :
The funeral service was held from
the Methodist church Wednesday
morning at eleven o’clock in the pres
ence of a large concouse of sorrow
i;:krelativqs and friends. Dr. 8. R.
] , pastor of Trinity Methodist
church of Atlanta, officiated. He
was assisted by Rev. W. H. Cooper,
pastor of Monticello Methodist
church, and Rev. K. J. Morgan, pas
tor of Monticello Presbyterian
church. Dr. Belk’s remarks were
eloquent and filled with beautifu!
words of praise and comfort.
“Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” sung by
Mr. William Brazey and Mrs. J. N.
Walker, the choir joining in the cho
rus, and ‘“Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me”
by Miss Anna Jordan were softly
and sweetly rendered.

View cemetery. The pall-bearers
were: Mr. J. A. Downs, Mr. R. L.
Oxford, Mr. T. G. Blackwell, Mr. D.
N. Harvey, Mr. O. F. Holland and

ROBED KLANSMEN APPEAR
AT OFFICE SATURDAY NIGHT.!
The following is clipped from lasts
week’s issue of The Jackson Progress-
Argus: l
Members of the Jim Finley klan
No. 14, Knights of the Ku Klux, in'
full regalia, appeared at the\office‘
of S. H. Thornton Saturday night
and settled in full the funeral ex-!
penses of Master Iva Johnson, the;
nine-year old son of Mrs. Mary
Johnson, who died on May 21, Mem
bers of the order in Jackson had
raised the full amount and a delega
tion of six klansmen appeared at Mr.
Thornton’s store Saturday night and
paid the entire funeral expenses.
A Worthy Cause. |
The cause was a most worthy one.
The death of young Johnson, which
followed an attack of appendicitis,
removed the sole support of his moth
er and two small brothers. The lad
up to the time of his sickness was
helping to make a crop, being the
only member of the family large
enough to work. Mrs. Johnson was
formerly Miss Mary Duke.
After paying the funeral expenses,
it is understood that a collection
‘would be made to the family from
‘the funds collected.
Those who have heard of this
generous act on the part of the Ku
Klux Klan have commented favora
bly on the fine and unselfish spirit
shown.

NUMBER 23.
GEORGIA’S FISH LAW
NEW ACT PROHIBITS SEINING
FOR A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD IN
THIS STATE.—BASKETS OR
TRAPS ARE BANNED, ALSO.
Among the several provisions of
the Game and Fish Bill passed by the
recent General Assembly and ap
proved by the Governor, is one which
prohibits seining or netting in any of
the fresh water streams of Georgia.
for a period of five years.
A Misdemeanor to Seine.
The section of law prohibiting
seining reads as follows:
“It shall be a misdemeanor for any
person to take from any of the fresh
water streams of this state any fish
with seine, net, gig or spear or with
any other device or by any other
means than with a hook and line for
a period of five years; provided
nothing in this act shall prohibit the
taking of minnows where a seine is
used for such purpose, the same not
to exceed four feet in length, and
provided further, that the provisions
of this section shall not prohibit the
taking of shad fish in the manner
and season provided by law.”
This law, according to Commis
sioner Peter S. Twitty, applies to
even private ponds, but the owner of
a private pond, his immediate family
or tenants, may fish in said pond at
‘any time and in any manner they
please.
| New Law is State-Wide Now.
~ Under the old anti-seining law it
‘was necessary for two grand juries
to recommend its adoption before the
law became effective. But the new
law is state-wide in its effect and
now applies in every county in the
State, and no action of the grand
jury is necessary.
Another provision of this bill pro
hibits the use of fish baskets or traps
or similar devices at any and all
times, and makes it the duty of game
wardens, deputy wardens and other
police officers to destroy all traps,
baskets and other devices used in
violation of this act.
Under these new provisions of the
law only hook and line fishing will
be permissible in Georgia during the
next five years. The law goes still
further and makes it the duty of the
Board of Game & Fish to_ prohibit
even hook and line fishing during the
spawning season in any county of the
state where one grand jury of that
county recommends.
A Penalty For Dynamiting Fish.
A third provision of the bill pre
scribes a penalty of from SIOO.OO to
SIOOO.OO for dynamiting fish,
The Department of Game & ‘Fish
announces a reward of $25.00 for
the arrest and conviction of any per
son violating the anti-seining law or
the law prohibiting the use of bas
kets and traps. A reward of $50.00
is offered for the arrest and con
viction of any person dynamiting
fish. These rewards expire January
1, 1926, but are subject to renewal at
that time.
A special corps of deputies has
been employed by the Department of
Game & Fish to see that the new
fishing laws are rigidly enforced.
