Interesting Letter From Miss
Nancy Millen.
American Mission dirts' College, I
Cairo, Egypt, March 7, 1914. )
i Not for those who have made this
trip or similar onus and have had the
experiences and gained the knowledge
to he gotten from such trips, but to
those friends in Coweta county who
have insisted that they want to hear of
our experiences, we write this letter.]
Reaving Ncwnan on the morning of
Aug. 10, we went directly to New York,
met the party of missionaries and new
teachers (in which capacity wc serve.)
going out for work in the Nile valley,
sailed at high noon Aug. 12 on the Cu-
nard liner “Pammonia, ” hound for Cai
ro. Kgypt, (via Naples.) and arrived in
Cairo at n*on Sept. 2-exactly three
weeks from the time of Bailing. Our
pnrty was sent over the shorter route—
namely by way of Italy, instead of to
I-iverpool and across the continent.
The “Pammonia,” although one of
the smallest of the Cunard liners, waa
wonderfully steady, and, having a calm
bob, we landed at Gibraltar (our first
stop) on the olevonth dsy out. Reach
ing there at midnight, whon the moon
wns sending its silvery rays over rock
and water, we had ono of the most
awe-inspiring views wo ever expect to
have. As we stood on the deck l und
gazed out ucross tho water at that
mighty masa of rock we were com
pelled to think of man's frailty and
God’s greatness and power.
Not being allowed to land that night,
we were up and astir early next morn
ing, so we might have even a short
timo to see that wonderful stronghold
of England's. None of us could realize
that in that mighty rock wore countless
port-holes (unseen by us) from which
the English guns were aver ready to
open fire on any who dared molest her.
On landing we found the town a very
dirty, uninviting place, with abomina
bly narrow streets, entirely void of
sidewalks. For once, we all "kept in de
middle ob de road.” Donkeys, carts,
carriages, geese, cows and goats (be
ing driven from house to house to in
sure the delivery of good, fresh milk,)
and people. It took only a few minutes
to walk through the town, so you may
imagine our astonishment on learning
that fully 20,000 people live there, about
5,IKK) of whom are English soldiers.
'Twus there we enjoyed real Malaga
grapes—each one almost as large as our
ordinary plums at home.
Naples was reached on the fifteenth
day out, but our stay there was so
short that we can't attempt to tell you
of it. Suffice it to say, the jabbering
of the ltalisns wns indelibly impressed
on our memory by our three-hours' ex
perience in going through the custom
house.
Not being able to make boat connec
tion at Naples, we crossed Southern
Italy to Rrindisi by express, and sailed
againYroin there. Rrindisi is interest
ing only as a port; —the only thing to
interest "sightseers” are the pillars
that mark the entrance to the ancient
Appian Way. Hoarding the "Semira-
mis” (an Austrian-1.loyd liner) at
Brindisi on Saturday afternoon, we
landed at Alexandria on Monday night.
There we saw real Eastern life for the
liret time, and were greatly amused to
sec the men kiss each other, not once
only, hut several times, on each cheek.
While on board the "SemiramiB” we
found how sadly deficient we are in
modern languages. Many people speak
English. In fact, it is wonderful that
so many can speak it;—but as a general
thing French would be of much greater
value. In Egypt, Arabic and French
predominate, though almost every lan
guage is Bpoken.
On the great sea we had our hottest
weather and the calmest sea, but it is
not like that always. Many times dur
ing the past months reports have come
to us of the hard times on tho Mediter
ranean, and we suffered Blightly by it,
in that our American mail that ought
to reach ua in seventeen or eighteen
days waB often from twenty-one to
twenty-five days in coming.
Reaching Alexandria after almost
three weeks of steady traveling, we
were exceedingly eager to get to opr
destination, so hurried on to Cairo—128
miles, but only a three-hours’ ride in
the express. Egypt has splendid rail
road service. First-class, very nice in
deed, even for the most fastidious; sec
ond-class, very good for day traveling;
but third-class, beyond the endurance
of any sane American, except under
certain conditions. The “fellaheen”
(the poor native people) all travel that
way, v ith an excessive amount of bag
gage that to us would Beem preposter
ous. The baggage is the least consider
ation with them, though, for they also
bring various things to eat, such aa
long stalks of sugar cane, lettuce, nuts,
oranges, and watermelon seeda, of which
Utter they are very fond. The un
bearable part is that they never think
of throwing anything out of the win
dows. Seeds, pulp left' from chewing
sugar eane, and the orange peel, all
find a resting-place under the feet.
The women of Kedland, Cal., (I be
lieve it is,) who have done such won
derful things in making their town a
fiyless one, would find an enormous (if
not entirely hopeless) task in Egypt.
We often wonder how the flies could
have been much worse during the
plagues, but we are certain that they
were. That is one of the unpleasant,
everyday experiences in Egypt, but
the pleasant ones are so much greater
that we soon forget all unpleasantness.
When we arrived, in September,
fields of green corn could be seen ev
erywhere. Cotton grew in abundance
also, some of which I'm sure must have
been four or five feet high. Up to this
time we are having all the vegetables
we could wish. From September to
I Thanksgiving time we feasted on fresh
dates, while beans, peas, lettuce, to-
j matoes, sweet and Irish potatoes, on
ions and garlic (for those who like
them) have lasted all winter. Oranges
and mandarines are very common now.
Nice, big oranges sell ten for a piastre,
(5 cents.)
The winter has been cold, and be
cause we have stone doors and no way
is ad paint—no adulteration whatever,
costs no more per gallon and MUCH LESS
per j >b than the other kinds.
Thy it and you will use no other.

jtan, Ga.
of heating the building, (except by
having coal shipped here from England,
which is very expensive—there Ib no
wood,) we have felt it keenly at times.
It Ib always pleasant out of doors, but
Bchool work can’t be done very well
that way. It is never cold enough for
frost. Only two frosts in twenty-five
years, I heard an old resident say. So
everything stays green, and the flow
ers are beautiful everywhere. The
roses are especially pretty.
Spring is here now, and March with
its wind and duBt storms are upon ua.
To-day, looking out towards the hills,
the dust from the deBert waa so thick
that the hills were hidden from sight.
No more now. Probably I can write
again some time. Sincerely,
Nancy L. Millen.
Making Bacon in Georgia. •
The Southern States, *at one time
years ago, produced large numbers of
hogs, and cured practically all of the
bacon necessary to feed the people.
The same cannot be said now of a sin
gle Southern State, and of but few
counties in any of these States. There
is one county in Georgia, however, that
iB showing others what can be done in
raising hogs. Brooks county holds the
distinction of producing and selling
more bacon than any other county in
Georgia. Recently twenty-two wagon
loads of cured bacon was delivered at
Quitman in one day, amounting to 45,-
000 pounds.
Last year Brooks county raised all
the meat necessary for home consump
tion, shipped out several car-loads of
hogs, and in addition sold 150,000 pounds
of bacon at an average price of 14c. a
pound. This year it is estimated that
the county will sell 250,000 pounds of
bacon, in addition to what is needed for
home consumption and the large num
ber of hogs shipped to the marketB.
About 1,000 head of fat cattle will also
be marketed from the county. The
raising of live stock has not been ac
complished at a sacrifice of other crops,
but has been produced in addition to
the regular crops, with the result that
those who have taken up this line of
work are becoming the most prosperous
formers in the county. The annual
cash receipts for live stock and bacon
sold from the county is near $100,000.
What is being done in Brooks county
could be done in every county in the
South. This would put the farmer on
a better financial footing, because he
would not be dependent upon cotton as
his sole cash crop. Bacon can be made
a most profitable cash crop, which can
be marketed in early spring when
farmers are so often in need of ready
money.
The boys of Brooks county have
manifested great interest in the or
ganization of pig clubs, and a very cred
itable exhibit will be made by the boys
at the county fair in the fall.

Merely Institutions of Accom
modation.
LaGranse Graphic.
It seems unbelievable, but it is nev
ertheless a fact, and shows the entire
lack of any sense of justice, but many
people regard their local stores as
merely institutions of accommodation.
When these people have cash to spend
it goes to the far-away mail-order
houses; but when times are dull, when
they are Bick or out of work, or during
the season when farmers are not turn
ing their produce into cash, what do
they do? Do they write to the cata
logue house and ask for credit?
If they did, do you think they would
get it? Not on your life. Those con
cerns must have cash, must have it in
advance, must have it before you can
even see the goods you buy. The con
sumer sends his money and then sits
down and waits until the mail-order
house gets good and ready to fill his
order. But when people want credit or
favors of any kind, they hustle off to
their home merchant, very obligingly
order what they want and tell him to
charge it, expecting him to wait at
least from one to six months for his
pay.
In buying from your home merchants
you deal with neighbors. Buy with the
goods before you. Pay when you get
the goods. Have your goods delivered
free. Return goods if not satisfactory.
Build up your home store. Help build
up your home town. And make of
yourself a man worthy of your day aud
time.
W. M. Golden, Bremen, Ga., says;
"Foley’s Kidney Pills are the best rem
edy 1 ever used for kidney and bladder
troubles, also for rheumatism. I can
never say too much for them, and any
person having kidney trouble, backache
or rheumatism, shou'd be very glad to
find such a wonderful remedy.” For
sale by all dealers.
“Why do you insist on having the
biggest share of the pudding, Harry?”
asked the mother of a small boy. "Isn’t
your older brother entitled to it?”
"No, he isn’t,” replied the little fel
low. "He was eating pudding two
years before I was born.”
