Hits '.tv County Agent Swain Discusses Opening Of Cream Station Here To the Farmers of the County: In this issuo of The News will be found an announcement by the Geor gia Products Company of the open ing by them of a cream station In Mil- ledgeville, set for next Tuesday, 24th, inst. it will be noted that this Com pany will receive sour cream two toys in the week, Tuesdays and Fri days, between the hours of 7:30 a. m. «nd 4:00 p. m. The cream will be received at their place of business, whore space has been set aside Tor tJ e purpose, and where shipping fa cilities are available. Arrangements * UVe been made with a thoroughly,to llable creamery to mako the butter tests, no for the time being as Ihe cream is received it will be ■weighed, a sample token, and the sample with the cream sent on to •bo creamery. Checks will be mailed monthly, and it is understood that farmer will receive a price for iis cream based on the price at which Gutter sold during the month. 1 have already endorsed this pro position in a former article, but I wish to go on record as.recommending «ny farmer, who is now without •Wfliicnt income, that he commence . mm* 6 his cows as u source of ad- ■tionnl revenue. The farmer who E only a few cows, or lives some distance from' the market, finds it ^practicable to engage in the whole tti,k business, but he can make his ®°"s pay a dividend by disposing of *®n r cream, and whatever he obtains O' "'em is just, that much more 11 he is receiving at present. Ho " find (hat having a monthly In oonm. be it ever so small, will ma , al *- v Mp him in his other farm iterations.

Jim Taylor, negro who was caught the night of December 12th last In the act of burglarising the home of Mr. Cecil Argo, was Monday given a sentence of ten years In the peni tentiary for the crime he committed. .The negro Taylor bag already serv ed a term in the penitentiary, having completed his time about a year ago. Ho confessed at his trial the morn- ex-convict. NEGRO IS EXECUTED BY MOB IN FLORIDA Mayo, Fla., Jan. 17.—A mob of ap proximately 1,000 persons overpower ed officials here lato today, took a negro who killed JV. R. Taylor Satur day night and lynched jilru on the outskirts of the town. Taylor, the son of a well known naval stores operator,, and himself a rural mail carrier, was shot and kill ed at midnight Saturday when he en tered the negro’s home to investigate a quarrel. The negro used a shotgun, the cartridge of which was so ar ranged that the discharge entered- Taylor’s body as one solid piece. When' the officers returned here with the negro today following his capture several miles from town, they were intercepted by enraged citizens who dropped their daily taaks and quickly formed. The officials had little chance of protecting their prisoner and the work of the men bent on lynching was short The negro’s body was rid dled with bullets nfter having been hanged to a tree. ing secured in several other connties, and I know that cream shipmehts have been the means of tiding a great, many farmers over a number of rough places. The results secured In iedi- vidual instances from giving a little more care to the cows have been re markable. The best results, of course, cannot be secured from hand skimming as the cream skimmed by hand will r.ot test as high- as If done with a sepa rator, but it will answer very well until the farmer can get in position purchase a separator. It is esti mate.! that with five cows a sepa rator will pay for itself in twelve months’ time by securing its value additional butter fat. The si- milk can be consumed at homo by the farmer's family, and by being fed to the pigs and chickens, and it is possible some of this milk can be dis posed of to the.. Georgia Products Company, if there is no way to uti lize the surplus on the farm. •K Is iny hope that the farmers of the county will support this effort in their behalf, as I have no hesitancy lit saying it will be to their interest to do so. The murgin iu handling sour cream Is very close ahd it is only by giving the Georgia Products Company a considerable volume of business that they will be able to keep the station open. You can at least be assured that while the price may not every month remain at a satisfactory level, there has not been up to thin time an over-production of creamery butter, and there will be no difficulty in disposing of every pound of sour cream produced.
