FRANK CRANE SAYS
Thf kalo-Hibcrnian poet. Tomas-
chelli. has written:
"I think that the meanest historian
on earth
Is the one who recorded the day of
one’s birth."
If your life has not been particul
arly happy or lucky, why should peo
ple observe the anniversary of your
birthday?
Some people make much of birth
days and some newspapers (five a
list of the birthday^ of prominent
men every day but there are two
opinions about that.
Young ladies of a certain age gvt
one birthday and stick to it. They
are twenty-two for instance, until
they reach thirty-five, and then they
begin to go back.
A good plan when you begin to be
old is to select a certain age and
lceep it Why get any older?
As for me I would prefer to cele
brate anniversaries other than my
birthday.
I would like to recall the first
time I fell in love, if I could or the
first view of the sea, or the first
revelation of moonlight or starlight.
The first good view of a tree would
be also worth remembering, or an
orchard in full bloom.
The fir*t good investment 1 ever
made or the first examination suc
cessfully passed, or the fir.* time I
escaped a merited punishment.
1 remember the first day I was
converted to Wagner, and the first
time that the full appreciation of the
old masters in painting dawned on

These are epochs in one'* existence

life an d commendable us well as corn-
memorable.

one's superiority complex.
If we are going in for celebrating
these might b e worthy celebrations.
But jut* to record that you have
lived some sixty years—of what good
is that?
Life is a pleasant thing perhaps
and it is good to see the sun and to
function otherwise, and one would
not willingly give it all up. But
not very much of the time are we
glad we were ever born. Perhaps
we ought to be, but the mulligrubs
are too busy with most of us and
our life is hardly successful! enough
for us to celebrate continuously.
It is very complimentary for our
friends to say that they are glad we
were born and they hope we will
live a thousand years, hut we some
times qu.-stion whether they really
Sparta, Ga., Dec. 24.—Dr. E. M.
Pendleton, eminent physician and
chemist of thin place, was the first !
manufacturer of commercial ferti-
lir.crs in the world, the first prod- |
tict of his factory, located in Atlan
ta, having been manufactured in
1866, .according to disclosure made
on the front veranda of the Han
cock county court house, in running
conversation Thursday morning.
After thorough chemical analysis
of the cotton plant, Dr. Pendleton
close antecedent of the late Charles
R. Pendleton, editor of the Macon
Telegraph, and scion of one of Vir
ginia’s first families, learned that
the cotton plant must have proper
proportions of phosphorus, nitrogen,
(tnd potash if it were to succeed
well. When Dr. Pendleton's chemi
cal analysis had been worked out
and given a test on Hancock
ty farms, a manufacturing company
was organized in Atlanta and did
large and profitable business, the
product put out being known
Pendleton’^ guano, and soon reach
ed wide popularity.
Coming to Spartu as a young
from his Virginia home. Dr.
Pendleton formed a partner-hip for
the practice of medicine with Dr.
S. Brown, the partnership being
a large medical practice. Dr. Pendle-
saw that "Cotton was King”
but he believed it could be grown
more luxuriantly and profitably un
der scientific conditions, and devot
ed several years to his wtudy of how
this scientific condition could be
. that would be such a
vast asset to the Southern farmer.
Hi, fertilizer interests became f*>
popular and wide throughout the
cotton growing sections of the Sou
th* rn states .hat Dr. Pendleton
found it necessary to abandon the
practice of medicine that his atten
tion might be given exclusive to
hi* fertilizer manufacturing inter
est that grew to large proportions
and established him as a benefactor
of the great agricultural class in the
South whose chief pursuit was the
growing of cotton.
The originator of commercial fer
tilizers is well and most favorably
m be red by older citizen* of the
county who recall him as a mar
deeply interested in the material wel
fare of the county and section.
