INGENUITY EXTRAORDINARY
Boat Adrift II Recovered in q Man

eight miles away, and then we climbed up
the hill! to get the view. Along about
noon we went back to the beach and to our

had drifted across the bay to the other
side"
Wasn't that awful" exclaimed the
girl with the sympathetic eyes.
Yes. There we were, eight miles
from the mainland, with no means of
communicating with our friends"
''Terrible." said the girl with the
dropstitch waist.
"What were we to do"
"What, indeedy" echoed the girl with
the fluffy psyche knot.
Eight miles from the mainland, the
day drawing to close, no food, no shell
ter, and no way of getting word to our
friends. How were we to get that boat
over the yawning waste Of water that
separated US from shelter and com

But you are here now, so you must
have got the boat at last" said the girl
with the calm, self-controIIed expression

CATTLE FEEDING.
A Branch of Farm Industry That IL
Receiving More Consideration
Than Formerly.

This is subject that has long been
of interest to us, and we have known
it demanded more consideration at the
farmers hands, but We have never
been upon place where it was sue
cessfully carried OIL upon such large
scale until few weeks ago. Several
weeks ago we went TO spend the day
with Mr.. w. j. Bridges, of Spaulding
county, and We want to tell you in
simple and true words exactly what he
has done along this line, in hopes that
it may induce some others to follow his
example in this important industry.
Mr.. Bridges is an example Of starting
at the bottom and building up, in cat
tie feeding. He first began by fatten-
ing a few native cows and steers for
the local Griffin market His first sale
Of any amount was when he received
check for $500 for bunch of ma
tives. He said the banker made the
cattle to receive so large a check"
Since then Mr.. Bridges has had the
pleasure of depositing them all the
way up to $4,000. When he began to
see that there was money in the busi-
ness, and a rich return in the form OF
the manure to enrich his land. he be-
gan to buy the beef type" He puts
himself in communication with the
dealers in Atlanta, and when any ship
ment reached the city was not as fat
as they should be, he bought the lot,
buying as many as $50 at one time. He
built him a barn 112xS0. and 20-foot
shed running on one side. Then he
built him another smaller feed barn.
He dehorns all cattle, and can feed
great many in small place Has rows
of troughs running parallel through the
barn, with pine poles fixed above so
they can not jump into them or over
them. Has water furnished by ram.
He shreds all his corn, and thus saves
large amount of slower. Buys cotton
seed. adds his own, and exchanges these
for meal and hulls. Plows up all cot
ton stalks and rakes up all leaves on
place for bedding, and thus makes 1000
loads manure per year. Last year he
fed $50 head. Sold all at one time to
Armour & Co. for $1,000. The cattle
were weighed on his own scales and
loaded on a sidetrack in front Of his
home. He clared $500 on this lot and
his manure. The year before he fed
$50 and sold to a Mr.. West, of Gin
cinnati, o., who paid him $4,000 for
them shining all To Cincinnati ex-
cept two cars, which went to Buffalo.
N. Y. Did you know any Georgia beef
ever went to the north before? These
are the facts as to the beeves them
selves; but the most interesting part
is the manure as a factor in making
cotton and enriching the land--South-
ern Cultivator.

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 25th Especially.
After suffering from Kidney Disease for
three years; after taking treatment from
six different doctors without getting
relief Mr.. j. o. Laudeman, of this place.
found not only relief, but speedy and
complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Speaking of his cure, Mr.. Laudeman says:
Eyes, l suffered from Kidney Trouble
for three years. and tried six doctors to no
good. Then took just two boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they not only
cured my kidneys, but gave me better
health in general. Of course / recon-
mended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others,
and l know number now who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an excep-
ton. Thousands give similar expert
enccs. For there never yet was case
of Kidney Trouble from Backache to
Bright's disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills
could not cure. They are the only rem
edy that ever cured Bright's Disease.

the Italian as a farmer and citizen.
Critics of the negro" says the au-
thor, accuse the race of Incidence. in
temperance, immortality and lack of
thrift The Italians have the corre-
spending virtues. They are hard, pa
tent workers, willing to do any kind
OF work, and to do 1t thoroughly. -
They are not an Incorporate people.
They are essentially moral peo-
pie. possessing the domestic virtues to
high degree. Hammonton Is
free from crime and from the fear of
crime. Italians never burgIarize houses,
even when known to be empty. Amer
leans are never afraid to meet them
alone, day or night. *Above all,
the Italians are very thrifty people.
They can save money on the meager
wages OF unskilled labor. Ital-
ians become enthusiastic Americans
No nationality when once it breaks its
ties to the home land is more anxious
to adopt American ways. . . = The chill
dren do not care to speak Italian.
They demand the freedom of Ameri-
can children. They adopt their dress
and their ideas and their ambitions.
II IS important that the south
SHOULD share IN the distribution Of
these wi liLg worker"
In another part of his article the au-
thor describes some colonies of Ital-
ians whicE have been built up dur
ing The past twenty-five years in the
state of New Jersey. These have de-
veloped into prosperous communities
of worthy citizens and successful farm
ers. They cultivate and grow to perfec-
ton every product of the soil indigo
nous to that latitude, and what was
waste land dozen years ago has been
converted into paying farms.
If Italians can do this in New Jer-
sey, where the climate and soil are
nothing to compare with the south,
what could they accomplish in the
southern states. 1t occurs to us that
the south should at least make expert
ments with the Italian farmer.

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of ~, 600 for the
installation Of the most modern and ell
icient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t Is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and il operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
N. j., and Middletown, q distance Of IS
miles, il to be equipped at once. For
the first 80 miles, the signals viii be put
two-thirds Of mile apart; for the rest
OF the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. It viii require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
win be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is a tower with signals operated by .
towerman, has been used a. block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future.

ATTORNEY GENERAL AND

OOLOREG oOf1OOLos
Attorney General p. c. simons very
clearly fixes the blame for the condi-
tion which led to the closing Of the
colored schools recently. The follow
ing words Of the opinion are worthy OF
careful note He says among other
things
The school board Of each district
having such separate school is required
to estimate its needs for one ensuing
year The ordinary expenses of such
school are susceptible OF being esti-
mated in advance. and there is no good
reason why a sufficient estimate to de-
fray all necessary expenses should not
have been made It was the duty Of
the county commissioners when fur.
nished with sueh statement to make a
levy which should be ample for the
purposes indicated II the county
commissioners refused at the time to
make a sufficient levy a remedy ex-
listed which was ample in every respect
and they could have been required to
do so.
"On the other hand. If an insuficA
ent estimate or insufficient levy was
made the same can not now be cured
by diver,ing the funds which properly
belong to the other schools Of the city
and deyoting them TO the use of the
separate schools. IN the law governing
public schools in cities Of the first
class the board Of education exercises
practically the entire control over the
city schools The city school treas
urer Is the custodian Of the school

required, ON or before the 18th day Of
