The following gives the
account of votes cast in last
day’s election. If all the
polled had been for bonds
would not have been enough
have carried, since a two-thirds
the registered voters of the

issue can be declared, and
would require 721 votes at
Tne present court-hotfSe will
covered with second hand
for the present, and while it is
pity to spend sufficient money to
this temporary work, which
only stay the evil day of building
new court-house a short time,
the commissioners doubtless think
that it would be dealing the tax
payers of the county too heavy
blow at this time to build a court¬
house by direct taxation.

Mr. Wm. R, Allison of Bairds
town, Ga., spent last week in
White county shaking hands with
relatives and friends. We were
glad to see him in our midst and
hope that he may decide to move
back to the good old county of
White.
Mr. Chas. Russell of Atlanta,
son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Russell,
spent a few days with home folks
since our last issue.
Mr. R. K. Reaves, Jr., who
in Athens for some weeks on
visit to his father, has returned
the Loud mines to siyserintend the
gathering up^of the gold. The mine
has been paying well for the past
few months. One would be in¬
clined to think that they would get
it all sometime, for it has been in
continual operation since the civil
war and for a number of years
previous to the breaking out of that
war. Mr. Reaves, however, never
blows its output, being satisfied
with putting the surplus to the
bank account,
Mr. J. L. Stover spent a short
time in our “shop” one day last
week, and while with us ’we dis¬
cussed good roads some. Mr.
Stover, as all Shoal Creek well
knows, is a great advocate of good
roads, aud worked the roads of
Georgia since he was sixteen years
old until he had traveled past the
road age limit—and that is quite a
few summers ago. He declares the
road laws of Georgia to be unjust
in that they “compel a boy' of six¬
teen to work and make roads
for the state when he has no voice
in anything.” Mr. Stover further
believes that the road law should
be overhauled from bottom to top,
and that each man should be re¬
quired to pay for working the
roads in proportion to what he
uses them. In connection with
this we might say that Mr. Stover’s
views are not as far wrong as might
be at first thought. Under the
sent system the roads are maintain¬
ed at an enormous cost to the
county—if we count labor
anything—and we would be glad
see some change made that
give us better roads. What
need is some work done each
that will not require the
amount of labor on the same
of road the following year, nor
five years thereafter—let us
permanent road building instead
road patching.

began taking Foley Kidney Pills.
1 got relief from the first but con¬
tinued till I had taken three bottles.
I feel like a new maif.”
CLEVELAND DRUG CO
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
No doubt one of the oldest
held by anyone in the county is

state of preservation.
Mr. J. C. Russell has gone
North Carolina on a visit for a few
days.

very sick for several days but
now improved a little.
The Clarkesviile Association

in attendance.
Mr. J. M. Miller accompanied
his wife and family to Young

The Dr. has some good property in

gregations, forthe meeting was as

freedom from intoxication attended

cularly proud. The railroad people

were landed Sunday at the camp¬
ground from trains, and a count of j
the automobiles there at noon num¬
bered 412. There were no doubt
5000 people present on the ground

GOOD COLT-BREAKING
Young Animat May Be Accustomed
Harness and Trained to Rein
After Broken to Lead.
After ttie colt has been, broken
lead he may be accustomed to
and trained to rein. A horse
never he hitched to a wagon or
before he is broken to drive in
ness, to stop when he hears
rein to the right and left, and to
up.
To familiarize the colt with bit
harness the “bitting harness,"

check and side reins, and surcingle
with crupper, may be used.
Put the rigging on the colt., leaving
the side and check reins comparative¬
ly loose, and turn him loose in a small
paddock for an hour. On the second
lesson the reins may he tightened
somewhat, but not left on for over hb
hour. The third day driving lines may
be put on. Let the assistant lead the
colt till he Is not frightened at the
driver walking behind. Dismiss the
assistant as soon as possible, and
drive the colt for half an hour In a
quiet paddock or lane where he will
not see other horses. All that should
be taught In this lesson is to go ahead.
Cluck to the colt, or tel! him “get up,"
and use the whip to let him know what
ia meant.
It is essential to train both sides of
a colt. He may become accustomed to
objects seen 011 the near side with the
near eye, but when the same objects
are viewed for the first time on the
other side with the off eye he may be
badly frightened. Driving In a right
and left circle will facilitate this train¬
ing.
BEST HOGS FOR FATTENING
Pigs Weighing From 130 to 150 Pounds
Should Be Selected—Corn as
Supplementary Feed.
For fattening, select pigs weighing
from 13*0 to 150 pounds and in good
condition. They should be fattened
for at least 60 days and perhaps 75,
if it requires so long to bring them up
to a weight of lgO to 200 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight at which
to put hogs on the market and animals
of tiiis weight in good condition will
bring top prices.
In feeding corn as a supplement to
pasture, begin with a daily feed of
three pounds of corn for a hog weigh
ing 350 pounds. When full feeding
has been well begun, one may feed all
the corn the hog will clean up. Kafir
milo or feterita may be used Instead
of corn, but the amount required will
be a little larger.
BEST SHEEP-PEN LOCATION
High Ground, Sloping or Rough,
Preferable—Animals Do Not
Thrive in Mud and Water.
The pens should be on high ground,
preferably sloping or rough. If you
have nothing but low. fiat ground, do
not buy sheep. They do not do well
on low, level ground where they must
be in slush, mud and water.
A sheep wants a hillside where it is
clean, and where it will have dry bed
ding when it lies down. The feed
and water must be clean. A shed is
essential to keep off cold rains and
snows and as a windbreak. A warm
barn is not necessary untii lambing
time. One hundred ewes under fa¬
vorable conditions should raise one
hundred lambs.
CORRECT FEEDING OF SWINE
Scientist Gives Long Tables for Farm¬
er to Follow—Another Allows
Porkers Free Rein.
A well-known scientific research
professor spent years in experimenta¬
tion to ascertain the correct amounts
of protein, carbohydrates and water
to feed hogs of varying ages.
He formulated voluminous feeding
tables for farmers to follow that
would cause the average feeder to lie
awake nights to decipher.
Now comes another investigator
who produces better weights and bet¬
ter profits with nogs by simply allow¬
ing the porkers to feed and water
themselves just as their tastes dio-
