pHILADELPHIA's GENEROSITY.
In 1706 She Was the Largest Con-
ributOr to Savannah's Relief.

In 17O6 She Was the Largest Con-
ributOr to Savarnah's Relief.
Brunswick, Ga, June 16.-In a recent is
sue of the Savannah Morning News an
account was given of the benefactions
that had been given that city in the past
and a comparison made with the good
that Savannah has done through her lib
eral donations to other places. Reference
was made in one paragraph to a donation
made by Philadelphia in the trouble Of
1896, when Savannah was so nearly wiped
out by fire. and this donation was re-
ferred to as being for 5000. The amount
stated should have been $4,000 as letters
now in the possession of DR.. William Ber-
rien Burroughs of this city show beyond
question that such was the sum donated
by the City of Brotherly Love. The cor
respondence was signed by DR. Sheftail,
holder of high places in the states SER
vice and the esteem of the people.
1t seems that when Savannah was in
trouble Congress wanted to appropriate
money to relieve her distressed people,
but the constitution would not permit it.
Large donations were then made by many
places, and the one from Philadelphia was
about the largest.
DIR. Burroughs has relics and trinkets of
inestimable value from historical stand
point and the letter referred 20 is one
of the most interesting. His family rec
ords give much that is of interest to
students of the Revolutionary period.

miles from Seville, was found dead near

Young McGlamery left home Monday and
went to Cordele to purchase some furni-

been married in a few days. As he failed
to return Monday night his parents be-

George Helms, an employe at the Co

Of a peculiar accident, from which he
died al O'Clock Friday afternoon Helms,
who was a young man 30 years of age.
who had been employed at the factory
about two months, was engaged at the
time in saving out barrel heads. In some
way due, it is claimed, to his own mat
tenticn or lack OF experience. as the ma
chine was said to have been in good order
az the time, his left hand became tangled
in the machinery, and was very badly
mangled. The young man writhed in
agony, and in some manner displaced the
barrel head, so that it was thrown out
with great force. A piece of the barrel
head struck him in the jaw and throat.
The jawbone was broken in three places,
and the sharp piece of wood. cutting al
most as keenly as a knife. slashed his
throat from an angle of the jawbone to
the chin 1t also broke his larynx. An
other piece of the wood struck his right
chest, breaking two of his ribs, and drlv
ing one of the ribs into his right lung.

The Outlook of the Young Farmer

The Outlook of the Young Farmer.
The new and progressive century, We
think more than ever, has a promising
and progressive outlook for the energetic,
active young farmer, says the Farmer
Guide. Look, farmers, a few centuries
back and note the advancement in farm
ing as well as other industries. WHAT
kind of blows, harrows, cultivators, bind
ers, etc. did they have then? Nothing
was as labor-saving or speedy, as we now
are using on the farm. If you, young
farmer, have never thought of this hunt
up some old farm implement book. or
have some old farmer tell you about
farming back in the sixties. You will
hardly think it possible that such ad-
vancement could be made. but facts are
stubborn things. and we cannot get
around the truth. We will not stop to
say much of the work of the forefathers
of our country. for what they accom-
plished was great. with the means of
ways they then had at command. The
only wonder is. how they did It? But the
young farmer of the present day, has all
modern farm implements to work with,
and then is not always satisfied.
Young farmers, let me say that the
Young farmer is not energetic as his
father. Mind you. we do not call him
lazy, but he should get up and hustle"
u he wishes to be a successful farmer.
Look young farmers, at the broad acres
Ground you. strive to own farm. Study
everything that you do on the farm and
try the best way of doing work. Take
advice from older heads, whenever you
are in doubt after studying any subject.
The farmer has plenty of work, but you
will ind work In any vocation in life.
Farming has both mental and physical
work. but what is more Independent than
farm life. The possibilities of the young
farmer are many as there are many more
ways on the farm in which he can make
money and a living than formerly. Why.
isn't the soil the same? Yes. but the
needs of soil for different crops. is bet
ter understood; and then the vast differ
ence in the tools with which to do the
work. Then stock raising Is engaged In
more extensively, or should be-, at least.

cautious will always succeed, even IL

II is considered a very profitable crop

suited to the crop.
When commercial fertilizer is used most
of it should be applied on the surface aft

Very little cultivation is required, but
this should be prompt and rapid, as soon
as the plants are up good. If good seeds
are used and are sown carefully there
will be no need for thinning out. The

Garden Notes-Bermuda Onions.

There is no question of the great value
of the Bermuda onion to Southern gar
deners and. truckers. They are just a
easily grown from the seeds as are tur-
nips and sown in the fall are as sure of
success as any crop we can grow. We
make very good crops from sowing the
seeds Feb. l. The onions are not near so
large when sown then, but we are quite
sure they keep much better than the fall
sown.
But one objections is to be found in the
use of these seeds. The few seedsmen
who import them are not satisfied with
a reasonable profit, but ask 50 to 81 per
pound for what no doubt could be sold
for almost half as much and yet pay a
fair and legitimate profit. Until prices
are reduced there can not be any extern
sive use or demand for Bermuda onion
seeds.

Breeding, Feeding and Handling
Hogs.

A good choice of brood sows is the first
thing to consider in the breeding and
rearing of hogs. 1 would select full
blooded English Berkshire sows, as they
are good mothers and very prolific. writes
W. r. Murfn in the Indiana Farmer.
Have them in choice condition, and let
the farrow be their third one, as by this
time they will be at their best. Breed
them to fully developed, full-blooded
Poland-China male, as this makes an ex-
cellent cross, giving the bigs heavy bone.
and producing good growthy feeders.
believe they will make better hogs for
the market than if they were full-blood-
ed of either breed. Have the sows far
row the first of September, and have the
pigs as near all the same size as posi-
BILE.
Begin feeding sows new corn as soon as
pigs are large enough to follow. Have a
run for the pig away from sows, leav-
ing feed in the same, and by the time
they are four weeks old they will have
learned to eat, thus favoring the sows
very much The sows should have plen-
ty of good slop and new corn and a
good clover pasture while pigs are suck
lngs. Let them run with their mother
until three months old. Have rye sown
for winter pasture. The pigs having learn
ca ~ cot aritS , S>~--es' s---N-
cess to good pasture, they will not know
when they were weaned. By the time
the best of the pasture is gone they will
be four months old and ready to begin
feeding for market. At this age they
should weigh 100 pounds each. Then for
every hog fed. purchase 100 pounds of
shipstuff or middlings from wheat. Feed
this in the form of hot slop with milk,
and give light feed of corn and plenty of
slop the first half of the winter. Decrease
the slop and Increase the corn through
the close of feeding; keep the feeding
place clean, good warm sleeping quarters.
At the end of seven months these hogs
should weigh 200 pounds each. They will
not have passed through any hot sultry
weather, when cholera is most liable to
attack hogs, and 1 believe will be as
profitable to the farmer as hogs fed any
other time in the year.

postoffice in this county, came into our

very interesting visit. He is now in his
eighty-eighth year, and has been farm
ing in Wilkes county where he was born,
nearly all of his life In all that time he
has never bought a bushel of corn. but
has sold corn nearly every year, as he
generally raises more than he needs. Nor
has he ever bought a pound of meat, ex-
cept one fall when he bought only twen-
ty-five pounds. This one exception was due
entirely to the fact that in the previous
spring he had made miscalculation and
sold off too much of mis- surplus meat.
He had not failed to raise more meat
than he needed Uncle Allen Paschal is

not only raised an abundance OF home
supplies but has sold corn and meat
nearly every year for more than half a
