A MONSTER BOVINE.
Tipped the Scale at 500 Pounds
and Was Sold for S63.7O.

and Was Sold for $63.7O.
From the Albany Herald.
A monster steer attracted good
deal of attention in Albany this morn
ing.
1t was at W. w. Rawlins' meat
market on Broad street, and came
from Americas. The animal was driv-
en- through the country, the trip hav-
ing consumed about twentyfour
hours.
The steer was purch ased by Mr..
Rawlins from Sherlock & Co., butch
ers of Americus. They offered the
big bovine for sale several days ago,
stating to Mr.. Rawlins that it was too
large for the Americas market. Mr..
Rawlins promptly agreed to buy the
streer at 81 cents pound on the hoof.
When it left Americas it weighed
1910 pounds, but the trip through the
country caused it to lose 120 pounds,
SO that when placed on the scales
here this morning it only pulled the
beam down ato 1926 pounds. At 81
cents per pound the cost to Mr.. Raw
Inns was $63.7O. That price for beef
steer is altogether Unprecedented IN
these parts.
1t may be remarked in passing that
beef cattle do not grow too large for
the Albany market, land neighborlng
towns and cities can do no better than
to send their best stall fed steers TO
US, thus making sure of quick sale and
the highest market price.

7hi. Nomination. Who the Nu-
rsrous Candidates Are.

.,, rumor that Associate Justice
tD Lewis will soon resign from
n1' ,nreme court bench is now q
.iS,lr topic in political circles, and
' 5;aates are already announcing for
no contingent vacancy.
~ r,.,ice Lewis has, it is understood,
formed some of his friends that If
noalth does not improve he will
s1or his resignation to take effect
9 me first OF October next. 1t his
4 a.inn.tlon is formerly rendered be-
tore the meeting of the state demo-
80 convention on the End OF July
.sa convention will either have to
a.ye nomination or determine when
and how it shall be made.
Action by the convention would take
.ho matter of filing the vacancy out
- the hands of the governor.
When the state democratic commit
4 90 met on March 20 the following rule
soc,rding vacancies were adopted.
oPule No. 2. Resolved, That in
o.so a vacancy occurring in the Office
u iudge or solicitor general in any OF
Tho circuits the chairman of the state
committee shall call for nomination
\ primary to fill said vacancy in ample
,;me before an election for said vacan-
nv shall be had. "
According to the construction placed
IN this rule by prominent politicians
and others it is believed that it applies
+ n vacancies in the supreme court or
any other state house Office, and that
Zunder that rule the election of a sue
cessor to Justice Lewis will be deter
mined by primary. If a primary is
held it will be ordered for the same
dav in all of the counties in the state.
There are some who contend that
the matter will go into the state con-
yention on July 2, and that the con-
MENTION will undertake the nomination
4 of Justice Lewis successor. There is
considerable interest being manifested
/ in the race, and new candidates are
croppiny out in all sections OF Georgia.

STsRBlRD REUNION

The reunion of the Starbird brothers
and sisters with their families and other
relatives occurred Sept. 10 at Grange
Hall. The earliest history that we have
states that "John Starbird lived in
Woodstock at the time that town was in
corporated. In 1925 his farm was set
off to Paris He was born Oct. 3, 1867,
and his wife. Sally Toby, Sept. 20, lIl2
They had 10 children. Stephen R

She was born June |, 1918. To this
union was born y children, of whom 4
sons and 6 daughters are living and were
all present.
The mother died March 30, 1859. He
married I'd, Ann Morgan, Sd, Mrs. Har

1886.
At the noon hour those present as

were bountifully spread with tempting

A GREAT ART.
The Rare Ability to Select Emcient
Executive Heads.

L Inc kS8k0 AO1Alty ~ SCACCk 1bAA4Ch0A>
Executive Heads.
Many men mistakenly think that be-
cause they work hard and try hard
they must eventually succeed to some
extent. This does not follow. Some
men carry on great enterprises with
little apparent effort. Their success is
due to skill in selecting efficient exec
utive heads.
Many q business man breaks down
trying to supplement the work Of IN
competent heads Of departments SIM
ply because he does not know how to
choose the right men. A man Of COM
handing ability does not worry him
self over details. He makes out his
programme and then selects men who
can carry 1t out to the letter. Indeed
1t Is q sign Of weakness for the head
of a concern to bother about little de-
tails. It shows that he lacks the in
sight. the business sagacity. the abili-
ty, to select and to manage men who
can do things efficiently.
Many heads Of large concerns spend
little time In their Offices. They travel
or remain at home. but the business
goes on like clockwork simply because
they know how to select men who can
efficiently do the work assigned to
them.
1t is great art to duplicate oneself
in another and multiply oneself many
times by selecting those who are vast
~ superior to ourselves. but who did
not happen to have had our opportuni-
ty to do the thing themselves.-Suc-
cess,
