INDUSTRIOUS HEN 10 HELP FARMERS Winter Eggs Will Bring Rich Returns if Proper Attention is Given to Poultry Business. WALTER E. DUNCAN, Staff Correspondent, The Augusta Herald. The farmer who is put to It to know how he Ih going to make ends meet will find that the industrious hen will help him materially in the solution of his problem if he will give the hens a chance. Winter eggs will bring a rich re turn. There is no reason why Georgia and Houlh Carolina should import eggs from North Carolina and Tennessee and as far away as Kansas, though such is the rase. If it Is profitable business for the poultrymen of these states to ship eggs, why should it not he more prof it;! hie for Georgia and South Caro lina to produce sufficient for (heir own supply? It can he done. The poultry business is one of the most easily and quickly profitable In dustries, with good prices for eggs and poultry, and small expense for food. The hen will prove a money-maker on the farm. In Georgia and South Carolina hens will lay all winter, so expert poultry husbandman who know say, if fed on egg mash of cotton seed end grain. This Is the advice of F\ C. Hare, poul try husbandman at* Clemson College. Though it Ih possible to obtain profitable winter egg production from any mature pullets and young hens under favorable conditions, the two breeds most popular in this section are possibly the Barred Plymouth Rocks for meat and brown-shelled eggs, and the Single Comb White Leg horns for white-shelled eggs. There are, of course, some problems which the man who engages in % the poultry business will naturally en counter. It is not possible to turn alonso a few hens and a rooster in a barn yard and, with no further atten tion to the business, reap the most profitable returns. But the problems that arise, as they will arise, may be easily solved. At both the Georgia State Agricultural College at Athens, and the Clemson Agricultural College at Clemson College, the farmers of Georgia and South Carolina have at their service always bureaus of ade quate information. A4l that any man need do Ik to follow the advice of the agricultural college experts. Following the advice of Professor Hare of Clemson College, a breeder at Prosperity, in Newberry County, South Carolina, last winter made a clear profit of s2r.H.7f> from his hens after paying for food. His eggs were sold at the market price. When it Is considered that in South Carolina two chickens are raised each year to each person, and that the pro portion in Georgia is little higher, the raising. of poultry is not only a busi ness that will produce quick returns, but an industry that these two states need badly. FRANK’S LAWYERS SAY WILL NOT GIVE UP HOPE Atlanta, G«. —Attorneys for l/co M. Frink arc searching the records In thou annda of criminal cases In an endeavor t«* find one more basis for a review of tiie cane ahould the United States su premo court rule against their appeal. It is expected that this point will be settled next Monday, hut the attorneys state tint even ahould the decision go agalnat them they will not give up hope as long ns there Is a step left to take. Several prominent attorneys here say that If the United States court refuses to grant the writ which will j ertnit Frank to bring his case before tb .t tribunal no earthly hope remains beyond an ap peal for clemency at the hands of the prison commission and the governor. Hut Frank’s attorneys persist in the hope that some precedent may he found which will delay the matter a little longer. CARLISLE BATTLING WITH AUBURN IN LAST CONTEST Atlanta, G». Football elevens repre senting Cam sic and Auburn meet here today in the last collegiate foot ha 1 game of the season In the South.

London, Vienna, Antwerp, etc., participating, as well as a minor league taking in Belgrade, Brussels and a few other such places, the fans would never have tolerated the breaking out of this war during the baseball season, and if they had postponed it until the world’s series was over it would have given them all time to cool off, and they probably would not have had any war. They say that baseball has done mere to civilize the Philippines than the Am erican army, constabularies, and mis sionaries put together. NEGRO TAKEN FROM S. C. OFFICERS AND LYNCHED Charleston, S.
