LARDER OF GEORGIA
IS FAST FILLING
ATLANTA, Ga.—Georgia is now fast
on the way to self-maintenance in the
matter of food-stuffs. In some im
portant items, indeed, the State has
become an exporter, whereas but
recently it imported in large quanti
ties. During the month of June alone
many thousands of dollars’ worth of
hogs were marketed through the co
operation sales in divers counties,
with prospect of the amount growing
steac.ily as the live stock industry de
velops. It is record that immense
stores of grain and provender which
farmers once bought from a distant
regions are now raised from their
own soil.
This aufiurs well and great y for
rhe future of the Commonwealth, it is
asserted by state agricultural ex
perts. The conserving for home needs
and home enterprises, of millions of
large significance; but even more so
are the better agricultural methccs
which the production of various food
crops betokens and the independence
which it vouchsafes.
As a result of these methods Geor
gia farm lanes, a few years hence,
will be worth a vast deal more than if
the single-crop system, with its im
uoverishment of soil strength, had
(.ontinued to preavil; and likewise
"Georgia farm inclimes will be steadier,
=ure and larger.
This way prosperity lies; may its fol
lowers, already legion, continually in
crease, is the hope expressed here by
agricultural leaders.

THE SALE.
(Lyons Progress)
Attention is called to the hog sale
to be held at Lyon? on the 19th of
Sept. This sale is the result of ef
forts on the part of County Agent C.
G. Garner, and the farmers of Toombs
county are preparing their stock for
the special sale.
The sale will no doubt attract a
number of buyers and the stock dis
posed of will bring theh ighest mar
ket prices. The hogs will be graded

ed of fair treatment.
Mr. Garner asks that those having
stags with extended tusks to have
these removed before the sale, as they
will not be allowed to go into the car
on account of probable injury to the
other animals.
Heretofore the co-operative sales
have been found profitable ancJ the
outcome of this enterprise will be
awaited with Interest. This system
relieves the farmer of extra handling
and a great many transactions before
anything is received from his pro
ducts.

EMOTIONS VERY MUCH AKIN
Both Laughter and Weeping Sudden
Motions With Which Custom le
Bound to Do Away.
Sudden glory Is the passion which
maketh those grimaces called laugh
ter ; and is caused either by some sud
den act of their own that pleaseth
them, or by the apprehension of some
deformed thing in another by compari
son whereof they suddenly applaud
themselves. And It Is Incident most
to them that are conscious of the few
est abilities in themselves; who are
forced to keep themselves in their
own favor by observing the imperfec
tions of other men. And therefore
much laughter at the defects of others
Is a sign of pusillanimity. For of
great minds one of the proper works
Is to help and free others from scorn
and compare themselves only with the
most able.
On the contrary, sudden dejection Is
the passion that causeth weeping, and
is caused by such accidents as sudden
ly take away some vehement hope or
some prop of their power; and they
are most subject to it that rely prin
cipally on helps external, such as are
women and children. Therefore some
weep for the loss of friends, others for
their unkindness, others for the sudden
stop made to their thoughts of revenge
by reconciliation. But in all cases, both
laughter and weeping are sudden mo
tions, custom taking them both away.
For no man laughs at old jests or
weeps for an old calamity.—Hoboes’
“Leviathan."
“NATIONAL” STONE OF SCOTS
Cairngorm the One Emblem to Which
Substantial Claim Can Be Mads
by Highlanders.
“So far ns I know,” said the cus
toms and fashions fan, the New York
Sun notes, “only one stone can lay any
substantial claim to being a national
emblem. The stone is the cairngorm
and the place it holds is unique. It
has no great beauty, being a yellowish
or brownish or smoky sort of quarts
found in any quantity in the Scottish
hills. It is mined chiefly southwest
of Banff.
"So frequently has it been set in
the big brooches that hold the folds
of the kiltie costume at the shoulder
and in the haft of the highland dirk
that it has sentimental value greater
to the average Scot than that attached
to any other stone.
“It happens that this homely stone,
mined in Brazil and Siberia, and also in
Colorado and North Carolina, is also
called the Spanish topaz or the false
topaz, but to a Scot it is never any
thing but the cairngorm, and so much
sentiment is attached to it that he re
gards It almost as a charm.”
Power of Progress.
Electricity represents the power of
progress.
In the early days of America in
dustry, mills tvere built on the banks
of streams that water power could be
utilized. Next come the age of steam
and factories were built near the rail
roads that coal could be delivered to
the plant. Then came the present
age of electricity and the greatest in
dustrial development the world has
ever known.
Today electricity brings the enor
mous resources of the country’s coal
mines and water power to the indus
trial plants of the nation. By the
throwing of a switch, industry is as
sured instant and constant power
whenever needed, even though the
plant supplying the electrical power
may be hundreds of miles away from
the consumer. Co-ordinated research,
engineering, manufacturing and com
mercial efforts have made possible
this quick delivery of power at a cost
which permits rapid and efficient de
velopment of industry.
Differing Tea Tastes.
Russians drink tea, not with the ad
dition of milk as we do, but with lemon
juice squeezed in, while in Germany
tea is often flavored with cinnamon and
rum.
Perhaps the quaintest form of “tea
drinking" Is that practiced by the sav
age tribes in Tartary, Central Asia.
The leaves are first boiled in soda, then
seasoned with butter and salt, and then
eaten.
Many people think that tea taken
late at night produces sleeplessness. It
does, but if a slice of lemon is added
instead of milk, it will induce sleep.
In cases of fever, tea taken with lemon
nnd a little sugar, and, of course, no
milk, is very refreshing.
A very common error is the belief
that by adding a ninch of carbonate
of soda, a stronger taste can be ob
tained. This is not so, carbonate of
soda being only useful when the water
is hard. A pinch of salt is invaluable
for giving flavor at all times.
Use River as Washtub.
The River Seine is the great wash
tub of Paris. Here, as in Normandy,
und Brittany and other places, the
women wash in the river. Hundreds
of white wash barges, or “lavolrs," are
anchored along its banks. These boats
are sunk Just deep enough to bring the
water to a convenient height. There
is a row of wash stalls on each side.
A ‘‘staH" In one of these barges Is
rented for two sous a washing. Here
thousands of women may be seen wash
ing busily. No hot water is used, oft
en no soap. The women lean over the
edge of the boat, as though it were a
tub, and beut the linen with wooden
paddles. The noise of these beating
paddles, a steady "tap-tapping,” can
be heard a long distance. The clothes

MELON SEASON HAS
BEEN SUCCESSFUL ONE
(Lyons Progress)
The fact that Georgia soil ip adapt
ed to any variety of agricultural pro
ducts and especially to the production
of watermelons has been shown in th©
last two or three weeks by the ship
ments gone forward from her bouncy
ariep.
Approximately 100 cars of melons
have been shipped from the Lyons
district up to Wednesday, while 50 or
75 more cars are expected during the
remainder of the season.
This being the first attempt on the
part of the majority of the farmers
of Toombs county to grow melons for
the market, the results have not been
as good as probably could have been
but the farmers have no room for com
plaint.
