The Mornings Milk in Venezuela.

II you live in Venezuela you need not
be afraid that your morning milkicomes
straight from the pump. The milk
man brings the cow around to your
house and milks it at the door. The
calf is brought around, too, because
the COW will yield better when II is by.
If the calf dies the milkman makes a
wooden calf, over which he stretches
the skin, and brings that along in
place of the genuine infant. This is
supposed to deceive the mother, and

GEORGIA is gradually getting little
closer to the money trough. The de-
partment of griculture is planning TO
erect three-storY building at Way
cross in which to conduct experiments
in making syrup. The building and its
equipment, which will be most COM
plete. will cost $4,000. Specifications
for the work are now being prepared
in Washington.
THE editor of the Telfair Enter
prise advocates the abolition OF
teachers institutes on the ground that
very little good is accomplished, COM

of the school authorities that no lnstl-
tutes have been held here in several
years.
ROKE SMITH says either Richard

THE Atlanta Constitu ton notes that
the baby is taking the place OF the

the upper circles will put aside their
folly and be like real folks.
JUDGE PARKER of the Brunswick
circuit makes a practice OF opening
court with PRAYER. Monday morning
at bonneville Rev. John Smith was
called upon for prayer and offered g
fervent application for wisdom for
Judge, jurors and lawyers in dealing
out Justice. And perhaps some OF
them needed lot of 1t.

PUT CROSSTIES ON TRACK.
Effort TO Wreck SeabOard Passenger
Train.

Train.
From the Richland Courier.
Last Sunday as the noon passenger
train of the Seaboard Air Line was 60
ing to Albany it had narrow escape
from being wrecked about one mile
south of the corporate limits of Rich
land. Some one had placed three
crossties on the track, and owing to a
a heavy fall of rain at the time the
engineer failed to see them until too
late to stop his train. One OF the ties
became entangled with the engine, and
it was almost a miracle that the train
was not wrecked. Every effort will be
made to find the guilty party.

GEORGIA LED THE WAY.

The Savannah News says investig&-
eion has shown that to Georgia belongs
the honor of the erection of the first
cotton mill ia the south. It was locat-
ed on Upton creek, nine miles west OF
Washington, in Wilkes county. 1t
was erected in the year 1911, and was
known as the Bolton mill or Bolton
factory. Among the incorporatOrs
were Matthew T&ibert, one OF the gov
ernors of Georgia, and Frederick Ball,
who was related to Washington. The
factory began with a capital of $4,000.
At the site of this factory was erected
in 1894 one OF Whitney's first cotton
gins. The Bolton mill was torn down
in 1912, but the foundation is still to
be seen. Both the gin and the mill
were operated by water power.
THE extra good women of the Sew
enth Day Baptist church at Marlboro,

their hens insisted on breaking the
Sabbath by laying eggs. The hens

New Jersey blue laws. Now the la
dies have taken the matter into their
own hands. and decided to sell all the
irreligious eggs and devote the pro-
ceeds to the church treasury
UPON a recent visit to Cincinnati
Mr.. Bryan was the guest of Melville
E. ingalls,. president OF the Big Four
