Manager Slallings Is
Back On Haddocks Farm
Haddock Ga.,—Geo. T. Stallings,
manager of the New York American
base ball club arrived at Haddock
recently with his family and some
friends from New York. They drove
immediately to his plantation about
four miles'from Haddock, where Mr
Stallings rnd his wife will spend most
of the winter. Ho has an ideal farm,
on which he has spent n great deal
of money, stocking, and beautifying
the entire place. While wintering here,
lie will nave from time to time friends
to visit him from the north and east,
and lie says he will likely I ring his
team down for an outing and practice.
Stallings says, from a business point
of view, tlie base ball season this year
has proven a complete success. He
also says lie haa a fine young coming
ua n, and they are already picked us
the probable pennant winners next
season. Col. J. .1. Hastings, of At
lanta, is out on a visit to Mr. George T.
Stullings, at (he "Meaaows,” near
Haddock.

Sunday evening about five o’clock,
after being notified of the affair, Chief
Lawrence raided a crowd of negro
gamblers out at the junction of Georgia
and the Central of Georgia railroad and
while there were several that eserped
he as successful inlanding thrceof them
in jail.
For a long time the negroes who were
captured made quite an effort to escape,
but after being chased for sometimes
they realize it was a hopeless case and
surrendered without any trouble.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in this vicinity through the
announced appearance of Buffalo Bill’s
Wild West and Pawnee Bill’s fat East
ut Macon Thursday Oct. 21.
Col. Wm, F. Codv. the original and
only "Buffalo Bill,” travels with the.
big exhibition and positively appears
at every perf irrnanco, rain or shine.
Arragements have been made with the
railroad officials to run excursions at
special rates from the various stations
along the line and there will be special j
provisions for the accommodation of
those who wish to visit the exhibition.
To the small boy and grown up Buffalo
Bill will be the chief attraction, for
his fame is not dimmed bv the years
which have elapsed since he helped
write the story of the west through
his heroic deeds. One of the principal
contests of the redmen, in which he
took active part, will be pictured in the
open-air melodrama. The Battle of
Summit Spring, ail engagement in
miniature introducing more than one
hundred Indians and as many cavalry
men and soldiers.
Of that which stands far joy, uplitt, and light.
No weakling's discontent was hers, in sooth,
Unrest divine goaded toward heaven he looks.
She thirsty deep for progtesbeauty, truth,
For freedom, friendship, knowledge, travel, books.
But her starved days seemel fixed in barren mold,
So in despair she dumbly crushed desire,
Until she felt all forceless, numb and cold,
Insensible to former craving fire.
One day, as in a last expirin' flame,
Her spirit blazed in anguished, sharp command.
“O God!” she cried, "I call once more Thy name,
I want my own, demand it at Thy hand!
"Long have I prayed and plrad for soul delight,
No longer do I beg c.n bended Knee!
It is not alms I ask, but my birth right,
As child of Universal Potency.
“Man is not born a pauper, bat a prince,
The rightful heir to all that mortals crave.
1 do not at annihilation wi ice;
I would be nothing rathrr than a slave.”
From out the silence Hashed the answer grand;
“Well hast thou spoken—well fulfilled the
God waits forever on the soul's demand,
And of its children asks not tears nor awe.

Throw on the Light
From tho Atlanta Constitution.
The process of reasoning which In leading so many thousand south
ern runners to reduce the bugging ami lies on thylr cotton below the
average (i per cent allowance Is hard to follow.
Manufacturers and exporters in buying rotton figure on fi per cent
for tare. This amounts to 30 pounds on a 500-pound hate, or ;c pounds
on a 450-pound bale.
When tile bagging and ties amount 'o leas than this, the farmer is
simpljf cheating himself.
The progressive Farmer In pointing out tho unreasonableness of
farmers following this course, says;
"Again we would urge our cotton grow.-.s to put on barging and
ties to the full 0 tier 4j.it limit UiIh season. If you put on less than
t; per cent, It Is stmplSa mailer of giving the cotton buyer good cotton
worth 12 1-2 cents a^livund, when he Is paying you only for bagging
and tics averaging about 3 1-2 cents a pound. This is a matter our farm,
era have been entirely too slow to understand.”
For years there has been complaint of insufficient covering on cot
ton. To remedy this defect, exporters have adopted the plan of adding
second-hand bagging to the amount of 8 or 10 pounds anil pocketing the
extra profit.
The f irmer lias put In that mu h weight In lint cotton worth 12 1-2
cents a pound. The exporter adds extra bagging ami ties worth 3 1-2
cent a a pound, and makes $l a bale.
The Progressive Union hns male a valuable point which should not
bo lost sight of. It will not take a very sharp pencil to figure out that
•!7d pounds of cotton and 30 pound i of bagging will bring higher returns
than 48) pounds of lint cotton an t 20 pounds of bagging.

Cotton breeding, the origination of
new varieties by cross breeding and
hybridization, arul simple seed selec
tion have become confused In the
public mind. The difficult, costly
and complicated processes ot tho for
mer, which can only be successfully
followed by the trained
have no connection with the simple
methods of
may be followed hy an
intelligent farmer. Even seed selec-
don may be made too complicated
for the average farmer; but it is
our purpose to outline a simple
ni'thoil of cotton seed selection which
may be followed by every farmer
with profits far greater than those
usually received for Ills labor.
Believing that seed selection to be
effective requires more knowledge,
and the expenditure of more time
than they felt inclined to give to it,
many farmers have concluded that
it is better to buy their seeds than
to select them on their own farms.
We believe this an error. The knowl
edge necessary to make belter se
lections than are made by the ma
jority of those selling seed, is easy to
acquire and the time consumed in
the work will be well paid for by
increased yields. When a farmer will
not acquire the necessary knowledge
and spend the time required to se
lect his own seeds with Intelligent
care, then we advise that he pur-
chas * seed from some reliable neigh
bor or seedsman, who will furnish
him with better seeds than are usu
ally planted when no selection Is
made.
The nature of the corn plant, es
pecially the number of grains on one
ear. has naturally led to more care
in selecting this seed, because of the
ease with which it can be done, and
tne selection of seed corn has there
fore received, and is now receiving,
considerable attention; but little In- IV1II1S,
telligent selection of other seeds has
been practiced throughout the
South.
Two methods of starting the sys
tematic and continued selection of
seed advised may be followed. The
farmer may continue the use of the
, best variety on his own farm, or in
SCA ' nu i';’l bis neighborhood; or he may continue
the best yielding and best boll

advantage of thorough acclimation |
and the probable adaptation of
plants to soil and other local con

vantage of less carefully selected
seed in the past, and inferior yield
ing qualities. In either case careful
seed selection in the future will be
necessary to maintain and Improve
the qualities of the variety started
with. Time is valuable and there
fore no one should fail to profit by
the work that has already been done
in the improvement of our cotton
by seed selection. It will be a waste
of time to start with an inferior va
riety and consume years of effort to
bring it up to a point of excellence
already possessed by some of our
best varieties.
