MfiXEY’S PIiGGRESSIVE FARMERS
BLAZED TRAIL TO INDEPENDENCE
Departure Prom All Cotton to Living at Home Stands Them
in Good Stead Now---No War Time Bill of Fare at Mr.
Gillenß’ Hospitable Place—Acreage in Oglethorpe to Be
Cut in Half Next Year---A Splendid Community.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent,
The Augusta Herald.
Maxey'a, 6a<—lf all cotton planters
were farmers as well, If growing cot
ton as a money crop they first made
their land produce for them a living—
in short, if cotton planters throughout
the South were, like Mr. 8. T. Gillen,
diversified farmers, European powers
might contest on battlefields for an
Indefinite period of time and the'Mouth
would look on Interestedly, concernedly
and sympathetically, but this section
of the one first-class world power
which ig not at war would not feel
the pinch and the depression the clash
at arms has brought.
Taking dinner today at the home of
Mr. Gillen —who very considerately
takes care of the traveling public at
his hospitable place—i was so forcibly
struck with ibis fact that 1 cannot
resist passing it on, the more especi
ally after the sumptuous meal that was
served.
Though his place la almost In the
heart of tits town, Mr. Gillen grows
cotton, but he raises his own home
products. Eve,y dish served was
a home product'. Nothing that I
remember, except the salt and the
soda In the steaming hot country
biscuits, made of home-raised
wheat, was bought; and with the
table loaded with the best tho land
atfords—turnip greens, sweet pota
toes, fried corn, butter beans, to
matoes, peach pickle, okra, roast
pork, chicken pie, with plenty of
rich butter and buttermilk and
with peaches gpd cream for desert
—* could not help but ooatrast the
horn of plenty with the depressed
condition of business and the tem
per of the man who Insists on
talking war and bard times.
Many Others Lik# Mr. Gillen.
Mr. Gillen Is not, however, alone In
Ills fortunate circumstances. In this
immediate section there are others,
who, although they did not anticipate
the existing conditions, turned long
enough agq to diversity of crops to be
today Independent of cotton.
Mr- Gillen's brother, Mr. A. J, Gillen,
one of thg leading merchant* of this
section, is one of several farmers ns
fortunate. Mr. W. O. Durham Is an
other, and go are Mr. George D. Ben
nett, Mr. U. P. Brtghtwell. Mr. W. hi.
Cabanis, Mr. G. T. Nickerson, Mr. R.
E. Nickerson, Mr. W. H. Arnold, Mr.
W. G. Ford, Mr. Jahn H. Howard, Mr.
B. F Maxey, Mr. W. W. Price. All of
these are farmers who make to an
acre 50 bushels of corn or a bale of
cotton. They are all farmers who, de
pending upon the gull rglher than upon
the cotton the lull produces for food
stuffs and feedstuffs, cap pay their
debts, every dollar, today or tomorrow
and keep their cotton off an unfavor
able market os long as the war goes
on or the market for other reasons may
remain unfavorable —•
Negros* Deserve Credit.' •
And what white man can do In
this progressive section the negro
lias demonstrated he can likewise
do. A bank cashier is my author
ity for the statement that there are
living near Maxeys a dozen or
more negro farmers, each with
from six to tup or a dozen bales
of cotton already out and ginned,
who cgn pgy all their debts with
one or two balee, because they
have been IJvlpg gt home and owe
practically no money.
Jim Smith, for Instance, owes
no rngg apd has hie whole crop

Hurt, Jasper Hurt, Will Hurt and
Anderson Boykin, all With splen

referred, Is ginning his neighbors’ cot
ton but he isn't advising them, except
by his excellent example.
"Every man,” says Mr. Gillen, “must
work out his own salvation He can
not depend upon anybody else."
Will Mean Independance.
“If,” says Mr W O. Ourham,
"this war will last until next Au
gust, the Mouth will come Into its
own, the Southern farmer will be
come independent, and there will
he greater porsperlty than was
ever before known.”
Mr. Durham has been farming on
the diversity plan for ten years.
"I raise everything I need, and we
can raise anything un this land. I don't
mean this particular section; 1 mean
the whole South generally.”
Mr. Durham is of she opinion th%t
the cotton acreage will be cut mure
than one-half In Oglethorpe county.
He cut his uwn long ago, and, he tells
me, plants only two and one-half acres
in cotton to the plow. Each year he
has corn and oats to sell, hams to
sell, syrup and potatoes to sell.
Increases Productivity.
“My land Is twice as productive now
as it was ten years ago," said Mr.
Durham. "I mean that, diversifying,
I get twice as much out of it as I
did out of all cotton; and it is many
times more productive than it would
have been had I planted cotton on it
year after year, of course.”
With Messrs. 8. T. and A. J. Gillen,
George Bennett, C. V. Brightwell and
E. G. Cabanis, Mr. Durham is seed
ing alfalfa now. An experiment is
being made.
Everyone appears to be certain that
more bogs will be raised hereafter in
this country. The splendid success
that Mr. A. J. Gillen and Dr. S. D.
Durham, both of wjjom raise hogs for
the local market, are making, and
the fqll smokehouses of ether live-at
home farmers, is pruylng un inspira
tion.
Farmers and Merchant* Confer.
Of course the condition of the cot
ton market presents a serigus prob
lem her* as elsewhere. Thigfts a cot?
ton country. It is a matter of serious
concern that the staple; is not bring
ing, tn the open market, enough to
cover the cost of production. With
this problem the farmers are wrest
ling while they are holding their cot
ton. Within the past few weeks seve
ral meetings of farmers and merchants
—and here at Maxeys the Messrs. Gil
len, Messrs. W. T„ C. P, and R. R.
Brightwell, Mr. W. O. Durham and
others are both farmers and merchants
—have been held to confer together.
From these meetings the farmers go
away the piore determined to hold and
the more determined to curtail the
cotton crop next year.
Only a few bales —possibly 50—have
been sold at Maxeys. Mr. (Jarl p
Nickerson hag bought It all. Some,
however, has been shipped to Athena,
but whether sold or stored there can
not bp ascertained.
Maxeys’ two banks, th* Citixens
Bank and the Bank of Maxeys, are
doing all that Is possible' to aid the
farmers who need extensions. Mr. W.
H. Thomas, cashier of the Citizens
Bank, states that that bank is ask

carry the other half.

PITH, CARLSBAD
On Contrary, Say Germans,
Special Was Put at Dis
posal of Singer.
Rome, via. Paris, 7:55 a. m.—Accord
ing to information reaching Rqme, the
German authorities have given official
denial to the story sent out from Paris
a fortnight ago that Adelina Patti suf
fered insult or Inconvenienc on leav
ing Carlgbad.
This official statement declares that
the famous singer did not need the
protection of troops against the ill will
of the Carlsbad mob. A special train
was put at the disposal of Madame
Patti and other illustrious foreigners
and the mayor of Carlsbad bade them
farewell. There was a demonstration
at Carlsbad but It was directed against
several French cooks, who had given
provocation.
Concerning a quick-firing gun which
Madame Patti is said to have made
reference, the German authorities de
clare they think she must have been
confused about photographic apparatus
before which she posed.
BRITISH CREDITOR
KRUPP GUN WORKS
London, 3:35 p. m. — The high court
denied today the apllcation made on
behalf of a British creditor of the Ger
man gun-making firm of Krupp. to ap
point a receiver for the firm's assets in
England, which are estimated at more
than $1,600,080.
The court pointed out that the creditor
was safe and that this Krupp money
could not at the present time be trans
ferred to Germany. Counsel fob the
plaintiff argued that shares might be
transferred to some American firm un
til after the war and then re-transferred
to the Krupp firm.
"After the war you could sue the
Krupp Cpmpany,” remarked the Justice.
'-•But the security would then be
gone," rejoined the lawyer.
The court denied the motion, but gave
leave to appeal.
