SOUTH GEORGIA US I
A MIHI SECTION
ILLUMINATING FIGURES GIVEN
TO SHOW WHAT CAN BE AC
COMPLISHED IN THIS PART
OF THE STATE.
In a very interesting talk with Mr.
Roland Turner, General Agricultural
Agent of the Southern Railway, in
regard to the developments of the
dairy industry in this section, sonic
very illuminating figures were shown
as to what might be done in this re
gard in this section. He regarded
conditions in our ptificular county
as very favoianie to this develop'd • *t
in connection with our already nv-,h!y
developed hog industry; and also fit
ting in with diversified farming.
It is estimated that we have about
1,200 farms in Bleck.ey coattfy. Mr.
Turner shows what cOuld lie done
down here with an average of five
good milk cows to each farm, esti
mating that each ccw would average
two gallons of u i'k per day and • v.t
hundred pounds of butter fa* per
year. The figure.' are. very interest
ing, and f e take pleasure in giving
them be! i , wn;,t they are worth.
We always like to transmit informa
tion from the best authorities and
especially from those wha are spe
cialist in their pa-ticu'.w line. Here
they are.
1.200 farms, five cows to e.»c i.
total of 6,000 cows, and 200 'bs. f
butter fat each makes 1,200,000 lb-.,
at 40< is $4*0.000.
3,600 calves at $5 each, $18)000.
Manure from 6,000 cows, 12,000
lons, at $4 ton, $48,000.
Skimrfted milk, 3,000.000 gallons, at
5c gallon, $150,000.
Making a total of $696,000.
'Our cotton crop last year was in]
the neighborhood of 4,000 bales, and
figured at SSO per bale would bring
only $200,000. It will readily be seen
that the returns from 6,000 cows
would he nearly three and a half
times as much as the present value
of last year’s cotton crop. Besides I
the manure from these cows would
-enrich the land, instead of having it
impoverished by growing a single

j THIEVING NEGROES
ARE QUICKLY CAUGHT.
1 Thursday morning, while waiting,
j upon a negro woman in the rear of
the store of EstrofT & Co., Mr. R. L.
! King became suspicious of the ac
tions of the woman’s husband, who
lingered in the front part of the
store. Following Lim into the street;
i and noticing a rather expansive shirt j
I bosom, Mr. King had the negro ar-j
! rested and found that he had appro- j
priated a number of articles frorh the ;
store. The negro is now in jail un-1
j til a trial can be had.

i Center church was burglarized on j

i had some well-founded suspicions
! as to the guilty parties and a search
of a negro’s home resulted in most
j of the stolen goods being recovered,
i One negro was arrested and another
i arrest was expect'd to be made at
any time.

MAN KILLED BY
EXPLOOIHG TIRE
J. N. HIRES MEETS INSTANT
DEATH ON FARM OF RICH
MOND AND McARTHUR—ACCI
OCCURRED LAST THURSDAY.
j *
I
J. N. Hires, an employee of Rich
mond & McArthur on their stock
farm near Ailey, was killed last
Thursday about noon by the explo
i sion of a truck tire.
Mr. Hires was engaged in putting
| the tire on a rim and had just given
it a blow with a piece of automo
bile spring when the explosion oc
curred, causing the rim to fly up and
strike him on the head, and result
ing in instant death. Examination of
the wounds showed that the
force with which the rim struck the
deceased was so great that his skull
was fractured, his jaw broken, the
bones of his shoulder also being
crushed.
; Mr. W. T. McAithur, Jr., was as
sisting in the work of changing the
tire and was knocked down by the
explosion, but escaped injury.
Mr. A. F. Fanning will leave Sat
urday for Savannah, where he will
attend the International O. R. T.
convention as one of the eight dele
gates from the Seaboard Air Line
Ry. The convention will be attend
ed by about 800 delegates from North
America and will be in session at
least three weeks.
Mr. J. L. Strickland and daugh
ters. Katherine and Ruby, left Thurs
day afternoon for Tallahassee, being
called there by the death of Mrs.
Strickland’s mother, Mrs. F. A.
Smith. Mrs. Sttickland had been
at the bedside of her mother for
some weeks. *
