State Dairy Inspector Makes Favorable Report On Dairies
Proprietors of Dairies
Imporve Conditions
To Comply With
State Law
Diziry products consumers in the
city may’ congratulate ' themselves
over the splendid report made by H.
F. Branham, State Dairy Inspector,
and read before the City Council
Monday. As stated in a former is
sue of the Leader, an inspection of
the dairies outside the city was had
in July and the dairies given until
September 15th to improve their re
spective places. The report which
follows shows that each of the pro
prietors completely complied with
the state’s inspection laws:
Mr. Branham’s Report
I visited all of the dairies to which
I visited on July 28th and 29th and
am more than glad to report that in
every instance the suggestions made
by me in July either had been made
fully or were in a state of being car
ried out.
G. W. Brannon had been ordered
to put a concrete floor in his milking
shed, to move open closet 100 feet
or more from his barn, put a solid
wall between the shed and the rest of
his barn, move manure, all of which
have been done. He has on his
premises part of the material to
build a milk room.
E. L. Crenshaw was ordered in
July to build a new milking shed with
a concrete floor, or to concrete his
present one. A new milking shed
with concrete floor and preparations
are being made to build a milk room.
As to Guy White was ordered to put
a concrete floor in the milking shed
and to put windows in the same. He
decided to build a new one and has
a nice, clean milking shed with a con
crete floor. Milk room is in a good
condition.
A. B. C. Dorminey was ordered to
break cracks in the loft over his milk
ing place, to put a partition between
his milking ‘place and the rest of his
barn. This has been done and con
siderable addition is being made for
the putting in of a greater number of
cows.
August Diemel was ordered to
move manure and build a new milk
ing shed with concrete floor or to re
pair his present milking shed. He
has repaired his old shed and a new
concrete floor in a good fix.
Mrs. William Williams was ordered
to build a milking shed with concrete
floor which Has been done. Mrs.
Nettie Rawlins was ordered to put a
concrete floor in milking shed and a
solid wall between the milking shed
and the rest of the barn. This has
been done. |
~J. H. Howell was ordered to put in
a concrete floor, break the cracks be
tween shed and the rest of the barn,
move surface closet 100 feet or more
away from the barn. All of this has
been done.
- A. G. Brown was ordered to build
milking shed with concrete floor or to
put a floor in th eshed he was then
using. The floor has been put in.
We visited the place of S. G.
Goodner and found that he needed
no instructions, that he already had
a good milk room and milking shed
with concrete floor.
These people who live mostly out
side of the city limits have met the
requirements of the law at quite an
expense. It is only fair to them that
the people who sell milk residing in
side of the city should be made to
meet the same requirements. I sug
gest to the City Council that they
get a list of these people and inform
them what the law is and if they
neéd my assistance I will come down
and go over with each and all “of

THE FITZGERALD LEADER
FOR CHICKEN RANCH
Brunswick, Ga.—A modern Cali
fornia-type chicken ranch will be es
tablished . near Brunswick by F. A.
Lyons of Santa Cruz, Calif. Mr.
Lyons, who has been engaged in
large-scale poultry production on the
Pacifiic Coast, has transferred his
operations to the South Atlantic to
be nearer the centers of consuming
population and to get in on the
ground floor in an area that he thinks
is due for a great development.
The California poultryman” has
purchased twenty-three acres on Al
tama Road, a part of Sedgemoor
Plantation, .from the Brunswick
Peninsula Company, and his location
is on'ly a mile from the model dem
onstration farm being developed by
that corporation in cooperation with
the Georgia Association and the State
College of Agriculture. Mr. Lyons
will install immediately a 10,000-egg
mammoth incubator and begin a de
velopment which he expects to carry
on to the 20,000-hen size eventually.
Altama Road is a portion of the
Coastal Highway that is already
paved and the new chicken ranch will
be in view of thousands of motor
tourists.

RURAL SCHOOL BOARD
ACCEPTS INVITATION TO |
MEET WITH CITY BOARD
e i
The County Board of Educat‘.ionl
accepted an invitation to meet with |
the Fitzgerald Board of Education!
for the purpose of arriving at some
definite arrangement to establish a!
County-wide High school in the city.
The meeting is to be held Friday
night in the high school building, '
when both boards will enter into de-|
tails of arrangements. Under a spe-l
cial act of the Legislature some years
ago counties having accredited high|
schools are given a special appro-\;
priation of $lOOO from the statei
state school fund and with that
amount it is thought an arrangement.
can be perfected by which the chil
dren reaching the eighth grade in the
rural schools and passing the neces
sary examination may be allowed to
enter lacal high school under the
same terms as those living within the
city limits.
A controversy arising between the
trustees of the Ashton high school
and the county board also had its in
ning and ‘a special committee of the
‘board, Messrs. R. R. Dorminey and
S. S. Young, were designated to con
fer with the trustees to adjust their
differences. The contention on the
part of the trustees of Ashton, which
is one of the special school tax dis
‘tricts, seems to be that the county
board which arranges for each of the
several schools in the county, inclu
sive of special districts, should begin
their term of six months with the be
ginning of the term, which started on
October 4th, while the board con
tends that the trustees of the sev-i
eral special districts should ut:ilizei
their funds to begin school, run it
for two months and then the county{
board would finish the operation of|
the Ashton school and make such ad- |
justment of their finances later, as
they may agree upon.

Stock Rises on Market
The rise from % to 1% reported
in Tuesday’s stock markets, indicates
that something is soon to happen in
connection with this property and
‘that it is likely that the minority
stockholders will be looked after in
some measure, by the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
who have the final disposition of the
‘case. |
The road was sold by action of thei
Federal court under an agreement
entered into between a majority of‘
the bond holders and the syndicate
making the offer at the sale, by which
the stockholders were entirely sacri-“
ficed. But it appears from the ac
tion of the stock market that there
may be a favorable decision in their
interests to come from the Commis-}
sion, which should make a report at'
an early 4ate. ‘

A RECORD ATTENDANCE
AT GRAND THEATRE
The special feature of Pathe
News, containing pictures of the
Mizmi disaster, attracted the largest
attendance at the Grand Wednesday
for week day showing. More than
2500 visited the theatre during the
afternoon and evening, many coming
from the nearby towns and rural sec
tions to get a view of the Florida
storm. The entire program was a
real good one and though the Florida
scenes were limited a fair idea could
be formed of the terrible ordeal those
unfortunate -people passed through.

MMILLAN TELLS STORY
i
| OF MURDER OF HIS WIFE
Malcolm MecMillan, a former resi
|dent of this county, whose wife was
murdered and himself seriously
!wounded by three outlaws in the
surburbs of Jacksonville, Fla., came
up to spend a few days with former
friends after being discharged from
the hospital, where he spent seven
weeks.
’ McMillan lived near the S. A. L.
shops in Jacksonville and resided in
the same house for nearly eight
years, an employee of the Clyde‘
Steamship Company, was assaulted in |
his house by three men and his wife
‘murdered about 4 A. M. on a Sunday
‘morning by the parties bent on rob
bery.
McMillan recognized them as peo-,
ple living in the same neighborhood
and identified them after he recov
ered sufficiently after two weeks in
the hospital. Attaches of the Jack-‘
sonville prison farm, located near
their home, heard the calls for help
and made a dash for the premises
with blood hounds, who soon located
the three in their respective homes
and lodged them in the Duval coun—l
ty jail.
Mr. McMillan was cut on the head,
his throat slashed and his arm
broken in the melee and shows the
fearful ordeal thrdugh which he
passed.

]NEW ENGLAND TEXTILE
MEN NOT CONSPIRING TO
DEPRESS COTTON PRICES
Boston, ,Mass.—John S. Lawrence,
head of the New England counsel, in
a communication to the National As
sociation of Cotton Manufacturers,
urged that steps be taken to counter
lact charges from the South that tex
}tile men are conspiring to depress
prices of raw cotton.
“The cotton mills do not wish
ruinous prices for cotton,” said Mr.)
Lawrences ‘‘Stability in prices and
not rates which deprive cotton grow
ers of a profit is the most desirable
situation. |
;\ “The opinion that'cotton spinners
and manufacturers are interested in
depressing prices of cotton, which
has been inspired by loose talkers
and demagogues, is now all too pre
valent in the South. The charge of
conspiracy to depress prices ap
peared recently in one of the metro
politan newspapers and we are al
ready beginning to hear rumblings of
considerable emotion on this ques
tion in the South, not from the
thoughtful, but from the unthink
ng. f
“The mills do not want ruinous
prices. By ruinous prices I mean
levels which do not show a fair and
reasonable return to the cotton
grower. For one thing, if the South
as 2 whole is compelled to sell its
cotton at below cost of production,
the growers will have no money to
buy cotton goods. Such a situation
would seriously affect the outlet of
one of the best and largest cotton
goods consuming markets in thel
world. |
