FARM, GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
-t
By 5. A. COOK.
In Fii rm and Gnrilen Urmilirr
Work.
It is only a question of wet or dry
weather the amount of work that ran
he done both in garden and field this
closing month of the year. Here in
the South snow and frost presents lit
tle or no obstacle to outdoor work in
December. There Is very little in the
way of planting or sowing of tveds
that can be done. Of course below tin
latitude of Savannah there is consider
able that could be done in this way if
perchance such work has not been more
appropriately done in the previous
month or even in October.
Those hardy and half-hardy crops,
the truck farm that ordinarily pass
through the average winter of South
Georgia or North Florida without any
serious injury should be well under
way by Dec. I. It is only
where circumstances have caused
this work to be delayed or not fully
completed will it be necessary to do
much if anything in the way of sow
ing spinach or English peas, or beets,
sowing or setting onions or strawber
ries, cabbages or other salad crops.
This work usually should be completed
by the last of November. With the as
surance of a good market for the
product the trucker may be encour
aged to put in a larger area of these j
crops to come in as a succession *.o the
earlier established ones. It may be
that some of these , have failed from
crie cause or another —insect or blight,
or from failure of seeds to germinate—
a very common cause of failure now
adays and sad to say constantly in
creasing.
A little more, perhaps, than the or
dinary farmer should the trucker as
sure himself of the quality of his seeds
before called on to start his crop. One
serious failure from a neglect to do
this very reasonable thing should be
taken as an "experience" for a life
time. It is extremely discouraging to
the most hopeful trucker to discover
towards the close of November that
the seeds he had sown in confidence
some weeks earlier had failed to give
him even half a stand, that there were
only little clumps of plants here and
there, the result of what might be
termed reckless sowing in case first
class seeds had been used. Yes! it is
considerably disspiriting to have a
crop fail from this cause at any season,
but it is rather more so when it hap
pens with the fall sowing from the fact
that the lost time can not be made
up quite so readily as it may in the
spring. In the spring the air and soil
temperature is steadily increasing and
a misadventure with the first sowing
is not so serious as it is when such
occurs in the fail when the tempera
ture of soil and air is steadily declin
ing after Oct. 15. There is more com
pensation for delay at the one time
than the other.
In either case the danger should be
guarded against. The only way to do
this is to buy the seeds enough in ad
vance of planting to allow- of them be
ing well tested. A shallow box or
boxes should be provided for the spe
cial purpose. Into these a hundred
seeds of each kind to be planted
should be carefully sown and the num
ber that germinate be noted. It would
prevent many delays and disappoint
ments to know the quality of the
seeds one is using.
December work consists chiefly in
plowing and manuring the soil for the
early spring planting. All stubble land
and all land at all clayey should be
turned over so as to give it the ben
efits of the freezes that may occur
during December and January, and
also to allow of the vegetable matter
becoming rotted as much as possible
before planting time. The land need
not be flushed, but merely laid off at
proper distances and bedded out. If
much land is to be gone over it need
not be bedded out fully at first, but
merely listed up. This leaves it in a
fluted condition for the best action
of freezing and it will dry out much
faster after hard rains as the time ar
rives for putting in the February and
March crops. As much as possible of
this preliminary work of soil prepar
ation should be done in December ana
on through January, jf weather per
mits. The more done in December
the better, for there is no telling how
wet and cold January and February
may be.
Land rough drafted in December is
very readily prepared for planting in
early spring. Much good work can be
done in December.
Special!***)! v*. Diversified Fanning.
We notice in one of our exchanges
that some writers contribute articles
under this title, seeming to think that
specialized farming is necessarily sin
gle crop farming, or the growing of
one certain crop to the exclusion of all
others, says the Practical Farmer. Of
course this is specialization with a
vengeance. But real specialized farm
ing cannot properly be done without
diversification. The farmer whose soil
and climate are specially suited to the
production of a certain money crop
should be a specialist with that crop.
But 'he cannot be such, and bring his
special crop to its highest production
by simply growing that crop year after
year on the same land. To specialize
properly he must diversify his crops
and so arrange the rotation that all his
minor crops shall tend to the increased
productiveness of his soil in the money
crop. If he is a wheat specialist then
let him arrange a rotation of crops
that will give the wheat crop the most
favorable position and will tend to in
crease the productiveness of his soil
in wheat till he can in effect make
the subsidiary crops pay for the grow
ing of the wheat and have the wheat
as a real surplus money crop. The
same will be the proper course with
any other money crop. The tobacco
growers in some sections are this year
in a bad -way, and at the mercy of
’ the unscrupulous tobacco trust, simply
because they have put 'their sole reli
ance in tobacco with the expensive
use of commercial fertilizers alone,
and have neglected the improvement
of their land by a proper rotation and
the feeding of stock. And such will
at times be the case with the growers
of any single crop who merely plant
and fail to farm well. Cotton, the
least exhaustive of all crops on the
■oil, so far as the cotton Itself is con
cerned, has been made the means of
widespread soil depletion through the
single crop system and the selling of
the seed off the land, for the seed of
cotton is the part of the crop that ex
hausts the land, and should be re
turned to it in the form of the meal
after the oil, which contains no plant
food, is taken out. Even in this sea
son of short cotton crops we know of
a farm that has been farmed in rota
tion and has produced a bale and a
half per acre, and a bale and a half
at the present price of cotton—lo cents
and over per pound—means between
$75 and SIOO per acre, while the single
cropper runs on the average or below.
And the average is about .33 of a bale
per acre, and, of course, to make this
average, where many grow a bale or
more, some must go far below the ,33
of a bale, and ,33 of a bale at the pres
ent price will be only sl6 to $lB per
acre. Specialization of this sort means
making the crop for more than its
selling price, and such farming, of
course, dees not pay, for the man who
makes only the average has nothing
but the cotton and the seed to depend
upon, while the man who farms so
well with diversified crops has in the
V>t ton alone a very profitable crop at
present prices, and can make a fair
margin when the price drops to the
point where the average man cannot
live. The same is true of other crops
as well as cotton, for the real special
ist is the man who diversifies in a
systematic way and is a farmer in
stead of a mere planter or sower of
crops. Specialization is what every
farmer should practice if he is to be
successful, and specialization depends
on diversification of crops and a prop
er rotation planned in a systematic
way to develop the productiveness of
the soil in the money crop.
\itvy tleiin Culture.
It seems as if a newly awakened in
terest is being taken in bean culture
among some Southern farmers, judg
ing from inquiries received bearing on
this crop, writes C. Q. McQuaine in
Florida Agriculturist, lieans are prob
ably a more suitable crop to plant in
peach orchards than cowpea, owing to
the tendency of the cowpea propagat
ing the root knot wherever it is grown.
Many peach orchards are to-day en
tirely worthless from the ravages of
the root knot, all originating with cow
pea culture in the orchard. This ob
jection cannot be urged upon the navy
bean, because it is free of that ten
dency, and moreover, is fully as profit
able a crop as cowpea. There is al
ways a demand for a good grade of
navy beans. They sell higher per
bushel, than cow peas, and the yield per
acre is not less, and they will grow
and give a good account of themselves
on the sandiest of our pine wood lands,
and apart altogether from their use
in the grove or orchard as a farm
crop, they are hard to beat —for a profit
able and satisfactory return for time,
labor and fertilizer used. This crop
can be made a catch crop, coming in
between seasons, at is were; it is very
suitable for following an early spring
crop, such as wtieat, oats or Irish
potatoes, all of which come oft in May
and the beans can follow them and
give a good crop in from ninety to one
hundred days’ time.
After the beans have been secured a
good cutting of hay. can generally be
depended on from the same land. If
this crop is made to follow oats or any
of the small grain crops, then the
stubble must be carefully plowed un
der and the land made free and loose,
so as to give a good seed bed for the
bean crop. If it follows Irish potatoes,
the same rule holds good, only that the
potato crop will leave the soil in a
more mellow condition than a grain
crop, consequently the same attention
to the plowing is not so necessary. 1
have found this crop to do very well
succeeding a winter turnip crop, but
let the previous crop be what it may,
proper attention to the seed bed and
the fertilizer used are the prime essen
tials as a preliminary to a good and
profitable yield at harvesting. The fer
tilizing of the crop is really a very
important matter, because on the grade
used depends the quality and quantity
of the returns made. A perfect plant
food for the bean crop should analyze,
say, 6-per cent, phosphoric acid, 10 per
cent, potash and 1 or 2 per cent, nitro
gen. This analysis cannot be found,
as far as I know of, in any of the
grades on the market to-day, therefore
the successful bean grower must either
compound his own fertilizer or buy the
nearest he can find and add the neces
sary potash to bring up the grade to
the necessary point. This is not very
difficult to do, for it is not really neces
sary to mix the additional Ingredient.
Applying it broadcast in the proper
ratio is all that is necessary; but care
must be taken that all the fertilizer
is properly mixed with the soil a few
days or a week before planting time.
This crop does best with considerable
attention by cultivation in its early
stages, but it must not be cultivated
when the leaves are either wet with
dew or rain. The rows should be about
three feet apart and the seed well scat
tered in the furrow at planting. A peck
of seed should plant one acre. At har
vesting, the crops can be cut the same
as grain crops and tied in bundles
and shocked in the field until properly
cured, when it can be threshed when
ever convenient. The leaves and stems
of the bean plant make a good forage
for cattle and horses. In fact, cattle
are quite partial to it, and its feeding
value is high. In sections where the
crop is made a specialty, a yield of
forty to fifty bushels per acre is not
uncommon, but in the South, if we get
the half of that amount we are doing
well, but by using about 800 pounds
per acre of a suitable fertilizer, as al
ready indicated, one can reasonably
expect thirty to thirty-five bushels per
acre, and at a dollar and a half per
bushel, which is a low figure, there are
few farm crops that will pay any bet
ter than a navy bean crop.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Cures
Colds on Nature’s Plan.
The most successful medicines are

Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It
aids expectoration, relieves the lungs,
opens the secretions and aids nature
in restoring the system to a healthy
condition. It not only relieves, it cures

tilizers profitable, we call attention to
the results obtained at the Tennessee
Station and noticed this week In the
Cream of the Bulletins. In these ex
periments it was shown that fifteen
tons of stable manure per acre in
creased the yield of wheat on bare fal
low 10.71 bushels per acre, while fer
tilizers alone on a poor soil failed to
increase the yield more than from three
to five bushels, and in a dry season
were used at a loss. And yet all over
the country, and especially in the Mid
dle South, men are depending on 150
to 200 pounds per acre of complete fer
tilizer on poor land, and wonder that
the yield of wheat, is so small. The
Tem.e see experiments also showed that
where cow peas were plowed down
there was an increase in the wheat
crop of five to eleven bushels per acre
in a favorable season, and from three
to eight in a dry one. This all shows
the importance of humus in conserv
ing the moisture in the soil. The fer
tilizers applied to the poor soil doubt
less had more available plant food than
the stable manure, but associated with
the stable manure was a large amount
of humus-making and moisture-retain
ing vegetable matter, and the plant
food was better dissolved, while in a
dry season the fertilizers alone were
wasted. This is the point on which we
have insisted for years. Land desti
tute of humus seldom returns a fair
profit from the use of commercial fer
tilizers, especially in a dry season, be
cause of the lack of moisture to dis
solve it, while in a soil abounding in
vegetable decay at the same time the
results from fertilizers will be good.
There is no better argument for the
use of a good rotation and legumes
than the results Prof. Soule secured in
Tennessee.
When to Sell Hogs.
It is a well-known fact among feeders
that the first fifty or hundred pounds
of flesh is much easier to place upon
the back of any animal than the last
fifty or hundred pounds. This we have
found to be the case of the feeding of
any and all classes of live stock. The
reason for this may be clearly seen and
understood when we consider that it
is one of nature’s laws that the young
animal converts nearly every ounce
of food directly into live weight.
In the mature animal this is not the
case. The animal has secured its
growth, and nature in that particular
has practically ceased to so aid the
feeder in producing the additional
weight. The older animal can, through
the use of good forcing method, be
made to lay on fat quite rapidly but
in any case it will require a greater
amount of both time, and expense, and
will not be accomplished so easily.
With the growing herd of pigs we
are able to make from 176
to 200 pounds of prime pork
that may be placed in the
market at the end of five or six
months, this with a little more effort
than the mere placing in good -con
dition for more extended feeding.
The increase of demand and the com
parative high price of feed have dur
ing the past year, tended toward placing
upon the market animals of the hog
class at a younger age and at a less
weight then ever before. In many,
perhaps the majority of cases, has the
time between the period of farrowing
ot the sow and that of the marketing
of the young pigs been reduced. This
has shortened the feeding and growing
period, and by so doing has proved
a benefit to our farmers who are in
the habit of raising pigs for market
purposes. It furnishes an earlier, and,
in most cases, a better market, and
admits of a lessening in the cost of
production.
IVrdliiK llone >lenl and Wood Aslie*
In experiments conducted by Prof.
as to the advantage of feeding
bone meal and wood ashes to fatten
ing pigs in combination with corn meal,
it was found that the effect of the
bone meal and wood ashes was to save
about 28 par cent, of the total amount
fed to produce 100 pounds of gain live
weight. Bone me*al doubled the strength
of the thigh bones, while ashes were
only slightly inferior In value in this
respect. The results show the great
usefulness of bone meal and ashes,
especially where much corn is fed to
hogs.
In these experiments the pigs have
been well started in their development
when the trial began. They were di
vided into three lots of two each. Lot
one received corn meal with salt and
water. Lot two received In addition
hardwood ashes, while lot three was
ted a spoonful of bone meal at each
feed in place of ashes. In one of the
trials, which lasted 112 days, two pigs
consumed 10.5 pounds of bone meal and
7.5 pounds of salt, and during the same
time two other pigs consumed thirty
three pounds of wood ashes and eight
pounds of salt. The earth in the y*ard
in which the pigs exercised was cover
ed with boards, to prevent the animals
rooting In jt and eating it, as they
would otherwise have done, especially
those which had no bone meal or ashes
to resort to, and consequently would
have impaired the results of this ex
periment.
When bone meal was fed 487 pounds
of corn produced 100 pounds of g‘ain;
when ashes were given, 491 pounds of
corn were required, while 629 pounds
had to be fed to obtain the same gain
when neither bone meal nor ashes were
given.

ST. ANDREW’S DAY
OBSERVED TO-DAY.
Special Service* Announced for This
Morning In < hrlnt Church.
To-day is St. Andrew's Day. and It
is observed with more or less cere
mony in all Roman Catholic and
Protestant Episcopal Churches. Special
services are held in many of the Scotch
Presbyterian Churches and the custom
is almost universal among this denom
ination in the old country. In Savan
nah but one special service has been
announced. Rev. Robb White, reetpr
of Christ Church, announces that Holy
Communion will be administered this
morning at 9 o'clock.
No special services have been an
nounced in the Catholic Churches,
though references to the day will prob
ably be made by the clergy at thg
usual week-day masses. The observ
ance of the day, which was general
in the early history of the church, has
fallen off, and to-day it is significant
only as determining the beginning of
Advent. Advent, by an edict of Greg
ory the Great, begins with the Sunday
nearest St. Andrew's Day.
St. Andrew was the first disciple and
one of the apostles of Jesus. His ca
reer after his Master's death is un
known, tradition being all that makes
any mention of him. Legend tells us
thait after preaching the gospel in
Scythia, Northern Greece and Epirus,
he suffered martyrdom on the cross at
Patrae, in Achaia, some time between
62 and 70 A. D. The anniversary of St.
Andrew always falls on Nov. 30.
About 740 A. D. St. Andrew became
the patron saint ot Scotland. Legend
here tells that, warned in a dream,
one of the early church fathers brought
some of the bones of St. Andrew to
Scotland, interring them at the place
now known as St. Andrews. This is
the scene of many oi the early strug
gles of the church and the lives of the
Scottish martyrs are inseparably con
nected with St. Andrews and the tower
and monastery there.
A white saltire on a blue ground, to
represent the X-shaped cross on which
St. Andrew suffered martyrdom, has
been from an early date adopted as the
national banner of Scotland. It is com
bined with the crosses of St. George
and St. Patrick in the Union Jack of
England. The Scottish Order of the
Thistle is sometimes known as the Or
der of St. Andrew.
St. Andrew is also held in highest
reverence in Russia. The Russian Or
der of St. Andrew is the highest in the
empire and was founded by Peter the
uriat in 1695. It has out one class
and is confined to members ot me im
perial family, princes and persons of
the rank of general who already hold
two other important orders. The badge
of the order show's on the obverse side
the double-headed eagle, crowned, on
which is St. Andrew's Cross. The cross
is enameled in blue, with a figure of
the saint.
Around this first disciple cluster some
of the sw r eetest legends of the church
and the early Christian fathers. Much
has been written concerning him, and
yet nearly all is a peculiar admixture
of legend, poetry and story, with but
few facts on which to build.
SPECIAL SERMON
TO JUNIOR MECHANICS.
TlmukaKiviiiK Service Conducted By
Rev-. D. S. Edenfield.
The union Thanksgiving service of
the Junior Order United American
Mechanics was held last night at the
South Side Baptist Church. An elo
quent and forceful sermon was deliv
ered before the combined lodges of the
city by the pastor of the church, Rev.
D. S. Edenfield. Besides the members
of the order there were a large num
ber of outsiders present. The musical
renditions of the church choir were
features of the service.
At a call from the ranking officer in
Savannah the members of the lodges
of the order assembled at their hall
on Bull and Charlton street at 7:30
o’clock. Each lodge was represented
by nearly its entire membership, mak
ing a total of nearly 500. From the
lodge room the members proceeded to
the church in a body and filed into the
seats that had been reserved for them
in the front.
After the customary opening serv
ices and the reading of an appropriate
scripture passage. Rev. Mr. Edenfield
addressed the order from the theme,
••Thanksgiving.” The text was taken
from the One Hundred and Third
Psalm, the eighth and tenth verses:
“The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and plenteous in mercy.
He hath not dealt with us after our
sins; nor rewarded us according to
our iniquities."
In beginning his sermon Rev. Mr.
Edenfield called attention to the many
kindnesses which had been show-ered
upon the people of the United States
during the year which is just closing.
Upon the Junior Mechanics, as an or
der, He has also showered his mercies
and has strengthened them in many
ways. The order has grown and
prospered during the year and to-day
is stronger than ever with a bright
future opening before It.
A brief but comprehensive review
of the history of the organization since
its foundation in 1853 was then given
and especial attention called to its
growth and development in all lines.
The purposes of the order were also
discussed and briefly presented in all
their aspects. The sermon closed with
an appeal to always remember that
true success, both as an order and as
individuals, could come only by close
ly following the ways of the Lord. An
earnest exhortation to return thanks
from the heart ended the sermon.
After the customary church closing
exercises the members of the order
marched again to their hall, where
they disbanded. The service was an
excellent one and appropriate in all
respects.
COMING TO GEORGIA.
I*. H. Fitzgerald I’repnrlng to I,orate
Another Colony In Thin State,
In a letter to the Atlanta Consti
tution, Mr. P. H. Fitzgerald of In
dianapolis, Ind., who founded the
town of Fitzgerald in Irwin county,
says that he is about to bring 10,000
people to Georgia, and that they will
begin to come next year. In the
course of his letter he says: It has
now been six years since I landed in
the state of Georgia, followed by a
little band of 7,000 people, seeking
homes in the Sunny South. The re
sult of that undertaking is well known
throughout the whole country. The
settlement of that colony in Irwin
county, where to-day those people are
surrounded with all the comforts of
life, well pleased with their new home
and the flourishing little city they
have built up. the farming country
they have settled, all transformed
from a wilderness of pine forests.
After much thought and consider
ation, I have promised once more to
take up the undertaking and we are
now forming the second great body of
good people to locate in the South.
My object is to lend this new colony
into the state of Georgia, using the
same methods and along the same
lines as the great colony of Fitzgerald,
On., was formed, where so many
good people have homes that virtual
ly cost them very nominal sum,
founded upon the mutual Interest
plans, whe-e each member receives
his prorated share of all profits and
which go to aid in paying out on
Ihe homes they take.
In writing this, my only object is
to ask of you and others your kind
support in the undertaking. I pro
pose to send a colony of fully 10,000
people in this next settlement early
in 1904.
BACK IN TV’S HOME.
Christian Cliurcli Congregation’*
Day of Celebration.
Three interesting and well attended
services were held at the Christian
Church, on Bolton street, west, yester
day. It was the formal return of
the congregation, after several weeks'
absence, and the pleasure and satisfac
tion felt were manifest on all sides.
Not only did the congregation have
reason for thanks, but it had the pleas
ure also of having many from other
churches at the services.
Rev. A. R. Miller, the pastor, con
ducted the morning service and deliv
ered a sermon appropriate to the oc
casion. He expressed his pleasure in
returning to the church building in its
remodeled form, and congratulated the
congregation upon the better advan
tages it now has for worshipping. The
sermon w r as stirring, and developed
helpful thought.
An incident of the morning service
was the response made for funds to
provide for the indebtedness contract
ed. These were promptly forthcoming,
and the liberality shown left no doubt
that the church will take prompt care
of its obligations. It was the general
opinion that the improvements have
been wisely made, and that good re
sults have come in return for the
amount expended.
During the afternoon special serv
ices were held, and were attended by
a number outside the congregation. The
music was excellent, and particularly
che numbers rendered by the Arion
Quartette. There was interest as to
how the voices would sound after the
general interior change and removal
of partitions in the church, but the ef
fect was for the better, if anything,
and the excellent music rendered left
no fears of the possibility of any un
favorable effect as a result on the al
terations.
W. B. Stubbs. Esq., w'as heard in an
address on the progress of religion and
its application to the individual, dur
ing which he held the attention of his
hearers. Mr. Stubbs pointed out that
the conduct of good men mayl be felt in
all phases of life, in the government,
in the home, in politics and in all
phases of human life. The reason many
things do not at times go right is
that Christ does not dominate them.
The speaker referred to the good ef
fects that would follow the placing of
Christian men at the head of the gov-,
ernment and in other public positions.
God does not, dwell in temples built by
men, and His spirit must dominate the
individual if the best results are to
follow. The presence of God must be
forever manifest. Mr. Stubbs mention
ed an incident of a man who found a
huge dent in an oil can protected in
a wooden jacket, the object being to
lessen its capacity and thereby better
enable the dealer to compete with oth
ers. This was pointed to as an illus
tration of one thing honest men cannot
practice. The domination of God in
every-day business would forbid the
practice of injustice of this and all
ether kinds. Mr. Stubbs concluded with
a strong presentation of the good the
church does in this connection, and in
the genera) accomplishment of good.
Rev. W. P. McCorkte, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, congratu
lated the congregation upon its return
to its home, and referred to what the
church is accomplishing here and else
where. Mr. McCorkle referred to the
protest of the Christians against the
division of the church, and its belief
that the Bible is a sufficient creed.
The Christian Church is less than 80
years old. and is the third largest in
the United States. Mr. McCorkle rec
ognized the significance of this growth,
and regarded its development as a wide
acceptance of its position for the Bible
as a teacher.

A. EHRLICH & BROn Who K;,^l?s^n^ a, " s '
CAUGHT IN
THE CORRIDORS
"The time has passed when girls are
a drug on the market” remarked a
physician, W'ho happened to be talk
ing as physicians seldom do to strang
ers or chance acquaintances. "Time
was, and even I can remember, when
a girl baby was a sore trial and there
was a general air of making the best
of it until the baby had made a sep
arate conquest of every heart in the
family. it's quite another story.
Girls are getting' more independent
in the light of this latter day civiliza
tion, although they delight in becom
iing dependent upon their husbands
to a certain extent. But in this day
and time the girl keeps the larder
full in many a home, and then, there’s
chance of her some day becoming a
duchess, as was explained to me by
the aunt of a newly born baby girl
which caused me some wonder when I
announced to the assembled! family
that the new arrival was a female
and did not see an expression of dis
appointment on a single face in the
group."
"There’s one thing I don’t like to
see,” emphatically stated the old gen
tleman in a long coat and a white
tie, his gray hair and the character
istic manner in which he wore his
beard designating him an old timer.
“It always makes me think that the
gallantry of the old South is on the
'.vane to see a man pass a lady on the
street or in the cars and merely touch
his hat brim. By gads,” he declared,
striking his cane on the marble floor
of the lobby. "If I were the lady I’d
ask him if his hat was glued to his
head to keep it together.”
Advertising has adopted anew fea
ture and embrace an additional scheme
into its household. The latest adver
tising scheme is in the hotel line and
is nothing less than a hotel press agent
whose duties coincide with the theat
rical advance and railway passenger
agents. Speaking of this new scheme
an advertising man says: "As yet
this method of hotel advertising, al
though well established throughout the
North and East, is practically unknown
in the South as only a few of the
larger hotels and tourists resorts have
adopted it, but it is only a matter
of time before it will become as es
sential as is newspaper advertising to
the merchant.
