The National Hog
And Cattle Show
Proof of a Revolution in the
Hog and Cattle Raising
of the South.
Atlanta, Ga.—There is no greater
factor in improvement of breed of
hogs and cattle on the farms of the
(Country than the National Hog and
jCattle Show held each year under the
[auspices of the Southern Swine Grow
er’s Association and the Southern
[Cattlemen’s Association, and whiqh
(Is officially a part of the Southeastern
Fair to be held October 6 to 13 this
year.
That this improvement has been
wonderful is admitted by all well in
formed people, and everybody knows
that there can be no comparison be
tween the scrub cows and the woods
rooters of. even .ten years ago, and
the' beautiful and productive catttle
and hogs of today.
There will be thousands of dollars
m
prizes for Herefords, Shorthorns,
•erdeen-Angus, Jerseys, Guernseys,
,Holstein-Friesians and Ayrshlres;
breeds .which were practically un
known to most of the farmers of the
Jast generation. Dairying and cheese-
making is going forward by leaps and
(bounds in Georgia and you will be sur
prised to find out how many cheeBe
factories are operating in the state.
Thousands of dollars also will be
awarded to owners of hogs; Duroc-
Jerseys, Hampshires, Poland-Chinas
and Berttshires alone will draw more
than $4,000 in prizes.
There will be a fat cattle and a
fat" hog department of the show, and
car-load exhibits of “feeders" and
“grain fed" cattle.
No man who sees, the stock shown
here can ever be satisfied with scrub
stock in his barnyard, and no boy who
sees It will ever own any scrub stock
at all, and whether you are a stock-
man or not you will be Interested in
seeing what the pure-bred stock in
dustry has accomplished in our state
and section withte the last few years.
On August 15th 1923 the death
Angel visited the home of Mr. and
Mrs A L Caldwell and gently bore'
away the precious spirit of tlieir
son Bailey.
He was sick only a short time
tho during that time he suffered
much. He was eighteen years of
age. Oh it was so hard to give
him up but God above knew best.
We cannot wish him back in this
old world to suffer but rather re
joice he is at rest. His death came
so unexpected we can hardly
realize that he is dead because
just one week beforr his ‘ death,
he visited our home.
Weep not dear parents,brothers
and sisters he is not dead but
only asleep in Jesus.
“He is gone but not forgotten,
never will his memories fade,
sweetest thoughts will ever linger
around the grave where he is laid.
Written by his friends Ella Mae
and Hazel Kemper.

Perry had the pleasure of listen
ing to an address on Tuesday
evening delivered by Mr. Dan-
dridge Spotswood a geologist and
mining engineer.
Mr. Spotswood. has made a spe
cial study of the limestone in this
countryand isfully conversant with
the natural resources of our vici
nity to render a very accurate de-,
scripbion of them. He held the
careful attentions of his audience
for tnoro than an hour without
notes, yet giving an abundance of
statistical knowledge as tho re*
suit of his studies in tho various
economical matters involved in
Ms profession.
Mr. Spotswood charalerizes our
limestone as one of the purest ty
pes of argillaceous (clayey) lime
stones existing in the United
Stated and that he did nob know
any other qnite similar to this
save the “Selma Formation” in
Alabama. Mr. Spotswood stated
that many of the large oement
plants would etablish branch oper
ations in Georgia and Alaban Q
that the Southern states only con
tained approximately one-t enth of
the cemeut plants of the United
States and that cement could be
manufactured for a great deal less
than in the jnove northern locali
ties and besides there wou’d be
tremendous saving in freight, in
supplying the South with a south
ern product. But what he pre
dicted as even greater sources of
natural wealth in the future was
the possiblity of lignite (baby or
young coal.) This be said had
been discovered at from 150 to 250
feet in depth from locations ''oh
the ridge land south of Perry.
Ho told us how the German per |
pie were taking a pound of lignite
and converting it into one-half a
pound of fuol of “anthrneite coal”
equivalent in heat value* That
the by-products in sulphate o£'- ,/
amonia, pitch, fuel gas, were to a
large extent sufficient to offset all
costs. Mr. Spotswood predicted
that carbon black now made from
wasting vast quanities of natural
gas would in the future be made
from lignite. This earbon black
is at present supplying ninety per
cent of the contents of commeicial
rubber. Mr. Spotswood called our
attention to the fact, that witjiin
the vie ini (y of Perry there were
many geological conditions, favor
ing oil and gas, that he thought
the time not far distant that some
concern might speculate in such
activities here. That he hoped
that his remarks might not lead to
injudicious in oil, that lands
should bo leased only for develop
ment and not for speculative in
tent. He advised cautionary pro
cedure jn such matters.
^ is mission he stated was cbi< fl
i reference to limestone as ai *
cable to cement and that be was
osfc favorably impressed. Mr.
potswood used the straight from
le shoulder method of addressing
hjs audience and telling them
plainly what the state government
communities and civic bodies
should do to bring about oommer-
mercial development met with
most favorable response.
We hope to again have him ad
dress us Friday uonn manufactua-
ing industries that might follow
from lignite operations. X
