THE MACON TELEGRAPH: SUNDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 4, 190*
I SPARKS, GA.j
♦ %
: Fine Schools and Rich Farming Territory ♦
SPARKS. Go., Sept. ».—In writing of
irk* much can bo Bald of Its enter-
g rising citizens, its splendid surround
ing lands. Its rood society and Its supe
rior educational advantages, besides Its
beautiful location, natural drainage and
shaded streets. Thera la no other new
town In the wlregrass country that can
boast of such fine shade trees. In this
r'-.*pect the founders of tbs town acted
wisely In planting shade trees with the
laying off of the streets. A town with
out shade trees, especially In the resi
dent sections, has the appearance of
being short of something. In fact, well
Kept shade trees In a town is good for
fche health of the place as well as pleas
ing to the eye, and It Is to be regretted
ghat some of Houth Georgia’s most pro
gressive towns hnvs neglected this Im
portant advantage. Another Important
matter neglected by many prosperous,
growing towna In Houth Georgia Is the
laying off of public parka conveniently
located for nothing adds inure to health
and pleasure than a beautiful, well kept
park, where the people, especially the
children can enjoy themselvee, recreat
ing In the cool shades and pure air.
Hparks Is situated In the oolithwest
ern portion of Uerrleti county on the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad,
at the Junction of the Nashville and
Sparks railroad. The lands of tho sur
rounding country are the most fertile
In wlrwgrass Georgia and the territory
Cf the town reaches out many miles,
covering a section that Is yet practi
cally undeveloped, tho farm lands of
which Is Just now coming on the mar
ket s the timber Is cut off. These lands
are in great demand by the thrifty far-
»nein who are coming to wlregraae
Georgia by the thousand, and as they
settle up the country. Hparks* trade will
expand and the town will grow aa nev
er before. Ae yet hardly ten per cent,
of the available farm lands have been
necured and there Is a demand for
•very sere of It. Prospectors by the
ncore are here dally, seeking farm lands
und they ure well pleased with the
country. From North Georgia, middle
Georgia nhd the Curollnns they are
Codling by the hundred to wlregrass
Georgia seeking farms and*f«trm lands.
These enterprising, thrifty farmers are
I the principal developers of this section
•after the way Is opened.by the rull-
jrotid* which are being constructed In
pearly every part of the wlregrass
country and to a person who Is not con
stantly traveling through Houth Geor
gia. It Is hard to rsnlisa how rapidly
the towns are springing up and the
country filling up with thrifty farmers
who are the main >up|>ort of the towns.
Only s few years ago these lands were
considered valuable only for the lum
ber and natal stores products of the
yellow pine, and millions of acres lay
out uncultivated, but since It was dtS'
covered that the soli Is fertile, oipnhle
.-of being developed to a very high stale
of productiveness and considerably eas
ler cultivated than tho worn out lands
1 of the older sections, they hnve been In
great demand and have rapidly In
rreaaed In value.
The soil In the vicinity of Spark* Is
of the highest clsos of wlregrass land.
This part of llcrrlen county Jolna
1 imoks, a county famous for Its fertile
lands and splendid farming. It Is but
five or six miles from Hparks to the
Brooks lino and the same fine farming
lands extend Into llerrlen county and
the same thrifty methods of farming
to some extent prevail. At any rate,
the same splendid results can t>e ob
tained from the generoua soil as In
by adopting similar methods of
farming.
In this section the farmers are more
Independent than In any portion of the
alate. for they hnve th*lr smok<
", Ml home, make X to 12 bules of sea tal-
snd cotton and fOO to 100 bushels of
corn to the plow. Iiesldea sbundi
s. potatoes, syrup, hny, etc. There Is
ho western meal nhlpfx>d Into the farm
Ing • -i tIons of ((rooks and llerrlen
counties, except where there are lnrg<
mw mills or other public works. On the
contrary, home raised bacon'of the fin
<-»t quality la ahlpped In considerable
quantities out of Quttnnn «n
ti.wi s in the i nuuty. heaUIra thousands
of k ilions of Urn* syrup mteed by
farmer*. In the atom* at fh* railway
stations, home-raised bacon aim he
e\« inGvely are ho d.
The farmers of this'section are pros-
l»eroua, and the secret of their success
. Is the raising of provision crops In
plenty, making cotton a surplus
There are fanners all over the cotton
belt who argue that It does not pay to
raise grain and meat, atm prove It by
figures, yet, says u close ot«s»rv
many years' experience, "the sheriff
never levies on the property of the
farmer with a full corn crib, while the
ull*» «>lton farmer la constantly in debt
at.-I dependent on hta merchant or fee-
f suppl
with which to run htx | resl estate owns
farm.** A former north Georgian who
baa farmed In this section several
years, estimates that these lands can
be cultivated with about two-tbirds the
labor and expense required for the
samo number of acres In the red hill
sections, while fully as much per acre
can be produced here. Formerly there
were certain advantages In this section
which greatly retarded the settlement
of these fine lands. Lock of trans
portation and educational facilities
kept the country back for many years,,
but since th« coming of the railroads
these conditions have been greatly Im
proved. and now south Georgia is about
us well supplied with railroads as any
portion of the state, and excellent
schools are springing up everywhere.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many M*y I
Curious Legond that Explains the
Painted Eye on tho Bow of Every
Kind of Craft Built by tho Celestialo.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.—The brond sea
count of China has been far-famed far
her Intrepid navigators. . The beau
tiful collection of models of sea and
rlver-golng craft of every description,
a* an evidence cf Chinese skill In the
nrt of nftvlgntton. is well worthy of
more than a casual glance when vis
iting the Chinese section In the
Liberal Arts Building ut the World's
Fair. The Chinese have records of
their navigation beyond their coasts
dating more than three thousand years
ago. even beyond the times of Cheops
nnd the Argonauts. The Chinese have
no steam vessels of their own particu
lar design, and nil of their bouts are
sails. The one great peculiarity of
the Chinese vessel, be It of whatever
type. Is that It must hnve an eye
painted or curved on either side of
the bow of the boat. This la done In
accordance with an old Chinese tra
dition that some over-Intrepid mari
ners set sal! on a bamboo raft for
an apparently nearby shore, when a
typhoon or cyclone drove the craft
far out of their course, nnd the crew
control of the scullers.
War Junks with their stlnk-pot mast-
tops, their antiquated cannon nnd blun- \
derhusses; stately nnd ponderous look
ing merchantmen: smaller-sized coast
ers: nil the way down to fishing
smneks, cargo-boats, (lower-boats,
house-boats, duck-boats, large sam
pans or passenger boats nnd catama
rans nre all represented. In the city of
Canton, China, over one-half of the
people live In boats and In Hong Kong
about one-third comprise the floating
population of the entire city. The (low
er boats ure so-called on nccount of
their profuse decorations of flowers nnd
nre the habitations of the singing nnd
dancing girls of Canton. The duck-
boats are so termed because they are
used by the thrifty Mongolian to breed
his ducks In, and there Is quite a flo
tilla of these boats In the Canton wa
ters. Each duck seems to know Its own
boat, nnd It Is a very pretty and inter
esting sight to see the ducks leave the
boats In the morning and return at
night on an Inclined plank let down
from the boat to the water for that
purpose.
All the boats exhibited at the World'# j
Fair are exact models of the actual I
craft and no details have been omitted
to make the exhibit a highly Interesting
and instructive one.
Novel Coal Hoisting.
Tho storing of coal at Gibraltar is ac
complished by means of a very curious
plant which has Just been completed
for the pumping station at Land port.
In the huge rock fortress the coal store,
boiler house and the engine room ad
joining are worked under compressed
air, and are necessarily airtight. The
store to which the coal has to be con
veyed Is hewn out of the solid rock and
is absolutely bombproof. A special fea
ture is the arrangement of the cosl
plant In such a way that It does not
interfere with the air pressure. Tho
coal Is lifted from the coal tip (lfty-sev
en feet below the horizontal traveler.
The skip by which the coal Is conveyed
is raised by means of a steel wire rope
working over pulleys and around a
driving drum. The time occupied by
the skip In traveling from coal tip to
coal store is two mlnues. At this end
and on a level with the motors, a sentry
box Is hewn out of the rock, where the
man who controls the gearing for hois
ting the skip Is housed, nnd has practi
cally a full view of all three operations.

a. .. tn.«r I have been presented for redemption. It
Is more than a century since the first
shore. At u loan what to do, they
prayed to the god of the sea, who np- !
jwared to them In a vision and told
them that they should repair their
craft, embark again and point their
vessel toward the rising sun and set
sail. They were to proceed In easter
ly direction until nightfall, at which
time they were to leave the navigation
of their vessel to the god of the sea,
who would furnish the boat with a
pear of eyes wherewith to sea the
way. Thla was nil done, and at night
the sailors beheld a pair of glowing
eyes, one on either aide of their craft,
und they reached their destination In
safety the following day. The over
joyed crew sent a memorial to the
emporer relating the facts of their mi
raculous escape, and the emperor at
that time Issued an Imperial decree,
ordering that alt vessels of every de
scription should have eye# cither
painted or carved on their bows. In
order that the ships might "see" their
way. Hence the Chinaman’s response
when asked to explain the reason for
th* painted eyes on the bows of ves
sels:
-Not got eye. no con see."
Models of til classes of boats from
the miniature '‘sampan'* or wherry to a
full-fledged sea-going Junk, either for
mercantile or fighting purposes, can be
seen. The "sampan’* Is propelled by a
scull from the stern and worked with
a peculiar sMe.Iike twist that both
serve* to propel and steer the boat at
the mine time. In the larger classes of
sampans oars are used In a similar
to that on ordinary row-boats. There
nre larger lighters with Immense single
sculls, some of which are over 40 feet
In length and which are worked singly
by an many ss thirty men at a time.
These large sculls work on a sort of
pivot, fastened to the tsff-rail of the
boat and the In-board end la gauged to
a certain motion by being held In place
by a rattan or raw-hide strap cleated
to the deck of the vessel, allowing the
scull so much -ploy while In action,
and at the same time preventing the
scull Itself from gelling beyond the
half-cent piece was coined, and It Is
nearly fifty years since the government
discontinued minting them.
Possibly not one person In a thou
sand now living In the United States
ever saw a half-cent piece, says the
Chicago Journal.
The half-cent piece was a coin of the
smallest denomination ever made by
this country. It enjoys the distinction
also of being the first coin Issued, and
also the first whose denomination was
discontinued. The United Bute* mint
was established In 1792 and copper
half-rents were Issued In 1712. Half the
total number of half-cent* Issued were
coined previous to 1*10, after which
year their coinage, with few exceptions,
was limited. None was coined for circu
lation from ISIS to 1S24. nor from 1836
to 1149. Finally, In 1M7. their coinage,
with that of the big copper cent, was
discontinued.
The needs of adopting the half-cent
aa the lowest value-computing factor
for a coin were made In the early days
of the republic. Colonial half-centa and
British farthings of the same commer
cial value were then In circulation, and
many articles were priced and cold In
half-centa. With the progress of the
nation values rose and the needs for s
half-cent disappeared, and their use
following thq first decade of the coun
try was almost entirely confined to
multiples.
Sour Stomach.
When the quantity of food token Is
too large or the quality too rich, sour
stomach Is Ukdy to follow, and espe
cially so If the digestion has been
weakened by constipation. Knt slowly
and not too freely of easily digested
food. Masticate the food thoroughly.
Let five hours elapoe between meals,
and when you feel a fullness and
weight In the region of the stomach
after eating, take Chamberlain’s Stom
