Americus.—Thousands dollars
worth of meat hogs are being sold
monthly by Sumter county farmers n1
Americus, Leslie and Plains. It is be
lieved Sumter county now sells more
hogs and cattle than any other counts
in Georgia, sales having approximated
$20,000 here during one week,
j Sales held at the Leslie and Ameri-
jous pens disposed of twelve carloads oi
j swine, and, in addition, a carload oi
fine beef cattle was shipped f-rou
iAmericua to Columbus.
These cash sales include only those
.conducted by George O. Marshall, coun
ty farm demonstration agent in co-oper
ation with fanners. Numbers of hog
raisers slaughter their own pigs, ped
dling the carcasses in Americus And
nearby towns.
The success of the industry here is
attributed by Marshall to the early
introduction of pure-bred hogs' and the
elimination of piney woods rooters from

Premier Poincare ordered General
Degoutte, the French commander-in
chief, not to allow any metal prod

that have spread from the Ruhr to
all portions of the Rhineland.
The embargo order of Premier Poin

date. The Germans ape busy hauling
as much manufactured goods as pos
sible into the “Fatherland” before the
embargo became effective.
The French believe that the em

Washington.—The supreme gift of
Abraham Lincoln was not In considera
tion but rather in preservation. Presi
dent I-Iarding declared in an address
at a Lincoln memorial dinner, tendered
by friends of Lincoln Uiiiverslty, of
Cumberland Gap, Tenn.
“Humanity itself,” the president de
clared, “needs to drlnlc of the cup of
unfailing confidence which enabled him
to stand erect and unshaken amid dis
couragements and criticism which
wp’uld have crushed any less than a
master heart and soul."
The president spoke in part as fol-.
lows
“No human story surpasses the fas
cination and the inspiration of that of
Abraham Lincoln. The republic pays
tribute, and most of the world is doing
him reverence, because in Ills unshaken
faith the world finds its own hopes
mightily strengthened.
‘.‘It does not seem hard to under
stand why in times like these -in which
we live there should be su'ch a renas
cence of sentiment for Lincoln, of re
newed interest in the great lessons of
his life. For men have come to think
of him as they have not thought of
others among the merely human char
acters of history. Lincoln has appeal
ed to them a3 one who manifestly was
brought forth with the destiny or con
secrated by an infinite hand to render
a particular service tp save a nation,
to emancipate a people, to preserve in
the world the fruits of the American ex
periment in and for democracy.” * * *
