has become almost indispensable, and
he is retained through no political
influence, but upon his merits.
One of the daring feats of his career
was in 1894, when the Knights of Pyth-
las held their national conclave in
this city. With the consent of the
capitol architect, Mr.. La Porte placed
ten -candlepower electric lights
on the bronze statue of Freedom sur
mounting the dome.
The distance from the ground to the
statue is 275 feet, and the accent was
made without rope or scaffolding-a
most difficult undertaking. At the base
of the statue is a circular rest two feet
broad Upon this MrLaPorte was oblig
ed to stand and balance himself. Then
reaching high above his head. he re-
moved the support that held the light
in place.
This much was accomplished while
the crowd below stood breathless with
amazement Then to the establishment
of everyone. he proceeded to climb the
statue itself.As he reached the head he
stopped. stood erect upon the shoulders,
and DOTTED his hat to the throng in the
plaza below.
In 1897 Mr., LaPorte received a fall
which nearly ended his career. He was
experimenting the erection of scat
fold at the head of the east stairway
leading to the rotunda. when the rig
ging gave away and he was dashed
headformost to the stone floor below
distance of about thirty feet.
Fellow workman rushed to his side
and he was carried, bleeding and in
sensibles to the hospital wagon and
thence to the hospital Blood poured
from his eyes, ears and mouth and the
surgeons at first gave little hope of
his recovery. He was Unconscious for
thirty-six hours, during which time
several severe scalp wounds were sewed
up and a featured jaw treated. His re-
markable vitality finally triumphed and
to the surprise of the attending ply
sicans he recovered. Within two months
he was back again at the capitol per-
forming his duties i'm the same easy,
care-free manner as of old

HOW CHICKENS ARE MATCHED
IN MODERN INCUBATORS
Trip to Poultry Farm Of Dave Gardner on White
Bluff Road Is Worth Making.

chickens are like monkeys in this re-
srect and will initiate. Mr.. Gardner
finds it a better and more handy plan
to have chicks that have already
learned how to eat, teach the newly
born. He places one or two chicks
that are several days old in the pen
with the younger ones and in this way
teaches the newly Matched how to eat
and drink.
Kept Warm by Steam.
Steam pipes run through these little
pens and keep the chicks warm. Like
in the incubator the temperature is al
ways the same and the birds are never
chilled. When the chicks are a week
old they are allowed to go into a pen a
little larger, but in the building, and
adjoining the first pen. When they get
stronger another little gate is lifted,
and they are permitted, when the sun
is shining, to get fresh air. Towards
evening, however, they scamper back
through pen No. 2, into No. pen, and
cluster around the steam pipes. Mr..
Gardner has twelve runs for these little
ones, which means thirty-six small
pens.
The tempera ture in the incubators is
kept at 1929 degrees, the same degree
of warmth that is furnished the eggs
by the mother hen. The eggs are turned
over lWICe d ueiy DIS IdIuIe lIlISHuS INciIl
to be. The hen turns the eggs under her
and the help at the poultry farm does
the same thing regularly each day. The
Cyphers' incubators used by Mr.. Gard
ner at his farm have capacity of 1900
chicks a month. After the eggs have
been in the incubator a week or ten
days they are tested and those that are
not fertile are taken out. boiled, and
made into chicken food. In every
Matching there are one or two deformed
chickens born. These. together with
those that do not appear strong, are
taken out and killed. Only perfect
chicks are kept.
There are twenty-one pens of grown
fowls at the Gardner farm, and an
average of five dozen eggs a day are re-
ceived at this season of the year, when
the market is anything but glutted The
savannah fancier has about two acres
OF land planted with oats, and the grow
ing chickens are turned into this oats
held about once a week. Besides the
fascination of watching chickens natcn,
the attractive grounds and the hand
some and prettily plumed fancy fowls
kept on hand by Mr.. Gardner make his
farm worth visiting.

Last year 35 schools were supported
in foreign lands, with an attendance
of about 2,OOO and 10 hospitals and dis
pensaries were conducted by nine med
ical missionaries, and over $4,000 pa
TENTS were treated. The number gath
cred into the Sunday-schools is about
1000. Last year the converts on these
mission fields, in foreign lands, raised
over $4,000 for the work.
The time for the offerings in all the
churches of this body is the first Lords
day in March. That is always a red
letter day with this people. 1t is a
day to which the membership and
friends look forward with great ex-
pectations and joy. The ministers try
to preach their best sermons, and the
churches make their most generous
gifts. The congregation in this city,
situated corner Bolton and Howard
streets, is making preparations to OBJ
serve this day, in common with all it's
sister churches throughout the world
in one of the largest offerings which
has ever been made to foreign mis-
sions.
Through the agency OF this Foreign
Society a church has been planted in
Manila in full view of Manila bay, the
scene of Deweys wonderful naval vic
tory. A strong college has been plant
ed in Toxic, the capital of the Empire
of Japan, and another college is now
being planted in Nankin, China. Three
new missionaries have just been sent
out, one to Japan and two to China
A number of others will go out during
1908. A strong mission will be planted
in that strange and exclusive land of
Tibet this year. Indeed, this will be
the first religious body to take this
bold step in that land.

TRIBUTE TO A FORMER
SAVANNAH PASTOR

Rev D. w. Gwinn of Atlanta pays
the following tribute to the late Rev.
Samuel a. Goodwin, former pastor of
the Savannah Baptist Church, whose
death in New York last week was an
nounced in the Morning News:
The writer would place an amaran-
tine tribute on the bier of this distin-
guished preacher, orator and soldier,
who in New York on Jan 30 fell on
sleep and passed as we believe to the
better land. No one knew him bet
ter; no one loved him more than the
writer. While in his early teens he
became a soldier in the Confederate
Army of the West under the uneX-
celled generalship of Joseph E. john
ston. In this post of patriotic service
he received a wound which fixed in
him chronic nervousness and devel-
oped tuberculosis diathesis which fin
ally broke down his health and brought
on death at the age of about 81. But
his struggle to make the most of his
powers was irrepresSible and success
full and made his life heroic and mar
tyrdomic. He grew to be one of the
most pleasing and eloquent speakers
both In the pulpit and on the plat
form in several states of his native
SCN NAiAuAAN- lNdi ilCSlly uSNOlGu TO the
gospel ministry, he served Baptist
churches-four in his native Georgia,
two In Alabama, one in Mississippi, one
In Texas and three in Virginia.
Not only in the pulpit was he dis
tinguished, but he was one of that brill
liant galaxy of Southern orators who
snatched from unjust odium and pin
nacled in rightful honor the South's
Vindication of states rights as woven
IN the constitution nF
States. Noble men, you have shown
10 the student of our government and
the philosophical historian that the
Confederates were in reality true pa
triots even in the national sense. in
that they taught every state in The
Union the value and virtue and hence
necessity OF the reserved rights of the
states. This lesson kept will save. this
lesson rejected will destroy our govern
ment. AS Cromwell is now an honored
patriot, so the Southern Confederate
VIII more and more be held as the de-
render OF an essential feature of our
republican government.
In closing, | testify to the virtues
OF DR.. Goodwin. He was brave and
true In defense of his country and his
nome; he stood in the open without
any simulative mask of deceit muf-
ming no black heart of treachery: he
was a man of integrity, impulsive. af-
fectionate. social; Peter-like, he caught
the melting gaze of Jesus. wept over
his failings, hardened to Divine cues
uoning and command, pledged and
proved his devotion to the Captain of
our salvation. In the evening time
there was light

Art Gallery are several paintings of
the President and members of his

sion, less historic interest attaches to
that than the more frequently noticed
house at $50 Franklin street. Thc7
ter is a wide, three-storied, dark red
frame structure, on the west side of
the street, halfway between Huron
and Mohawk streets. 1t was in this
building that Fillmore had his Buffalo
home when President, and he also oc-
cupied it for a long period before he
had that office and for several years
after he retired from the presidency.
1t was not as large a structure those
days as it is now. 1t was two stories
high when Fillmore occupied it, Mrs.
c. c. F. Gay. the present occupant,
having added the French roof when
the house came into her possession
thirty years ago. During the eight
years he was representative in Con-
gress Willard Fillmore entertai I'D
many persons of national distinction
in this house. Among them was
John Quincy Adams. the sixth Presi-
dent of the United States.
The law firm of Fillmore. Haven &
Hall was one of the best known in the
state in it's time. 1t did very large
business and a profitable one too.
The beginning of Mr. Fillmore's for
tune was made up of per cent mort
cages. AS his law profits increased he
also invested in real estate Besides
the site of his first mansion, he owned
at the time he accepted the state con-
trollership in 1916 a good-sized plot

Fillmore had good luck with all his IN
vestments, and during one time subse-

he was credited with a fortune closely

ONE TICKET LASTED A YEAR.
A Traveller Used n CredentiaI Book
for 1881 Miles-5OO Trips on
Lines.

A Traveller Used n CredentiaI Book
for 1881 Miles-5OO Trips on s
Lines.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The largest refund payment ever
made by the Western Passenger Asso-
citation on a ,credential mileage ticket
was one of the transactions of this de-
partment of the associations work re-
Gently
The certificate turned in showed that
the holder had travelled during the
past year 1851 miles on the credential
book, and that the amount of the ex-
penditure had been $1,102.95. The
amount of the refund made to him was
S349.30.
The extent to which these creden-
tial tickets are used by travelling men
is well illustrated by this mans refund
check. Usually the holders of the
books turn in their refund checks as
soon as they have enough of them to
show that they have travelled 1000
miles, the minimum on which the re-
fund is allowed. In the case in point
the holder preferred to hold the checks
until the end of the year, and when
he was winding up his other yearly
business he sent in the whole batch at
once.
The system of checks and balances
kept by the Passenger Association on
this class of tickets enables them to
be followed through all the windings
of the different lines and officials. They
are non-transferable, and are about as
nearly used in accordance with the rule
which prohibits use by others than the
persons to whom issued as any form of
transportation the roads have been able
to get out.
The traveller who kept his refund
checks all year and turned them in used
his credential ticket on eight lines of
railroad, each of which is given its
proper share of the mileage as shown
by the checks and other marks His
trips were not long ones. for the larg-
est credit amounted to 1910, and they
ranged in amount from that down to
Is cents, the lowest. AS the record
showed that he had 400 rides on the
ticket, the average trip, in spite of the
one large item, was considerably less
than 100 miles in fact. but little more
than eighty miles.
The passenger officials can trace in
the record of this mans use of his
credentiRl ticket the manner in which
the form of ticket is made to serve
the purposes of the travelling sales
man as perhaps no other would.
