THE RIGHT SORT.

The News Of last week asserted

Not only is this the case now, but
it has always been 50, quality and
not quantity commands top prices. /
To achieve success along this
line it is necessary 10 begin right
To do this it is, essential that We
get as far away from the scrub as
possible. Pure breeds are the
best, but if these are beyond reach,
ny all means 20 as far as you can
towards them. Much can be ac-
complished by following the cheap

breeds; these are several and all

loways, and last to speak of. but
not the least by any means, the
symeuicial clean limbed hand
some Hereford-the choice SEEM
ingly Of Plains people.
All Of these breeds are good in
their particular way; each has its
followers-all will do well on the
Plains if given proper treatment.
This treatment, TO win out, must
be adapted to the peculiarities Of
the breed chosen. We must not
lose sight. Of the fact that some
things are bred in and in certain
animals, as in some races Of people,
and that with animals, especially,
It's risky TO the proper side OF the
cash balance to try to make them
over TO new conditions. No one
with any hog sense at all would eX
pect the sluggish big boned Poland
China to rustic along side of his
more active nervous nabor, the
Berkshire, and 50 it is wiki the diff
ferent breeds Of cattle. Those who
put their cash on the Shorthorn
ranging with the Hereford would
surely lose it for the difference is
as well marked between these
breeds OF cattle as it is between
the Poland China and Berkshire. !
And in saying this we do it with
out prejudice against the Durham,
for under certain other conditions
the Shorthorn would more than
hold his own.
Practical men have said that this /
choice of breeds is largely matter
of taste and maybe il is, but the
News is rather inclined to the op-
inion that conditions have far more
to do with II, and that these condi-
tons should always be first con-
suited IN the selection, leaving taste
a secondary matter.
But, as previously stated, all
these breeds are good and can be
made not only TO thrive on the
Plains, but to eXcel-under proper
conditions. Chief among the con-
ditionS is correct treatment and /
this the News will take up in next
issue.

One Funeral Held for Mother and
Son at Americus.
Mrs. Mary Twitty and son, James
Twi tty, died in Americas Tuesday
night, and mother and son were laid
away together. Both were found in
the same room suffering paroxysms,
and neither ever regained conscious
ness sufficiently to tell the story of
their illness. Mrs. Twitty was per-
haps the oldest resident of Americas,
and was the mother of the late Rev.
Peter Twitty, once prominent in the
South Georgia Conference. The death
of mother and son simultaneously and
under such circumstances created
widespread sorrow.
An attending physician thinks per-
haps Mrs. Twitty's death resulted
from shock and extreme old age,
while her son died from apoplexy.
The son was printer, but was out
of employment.

Have thousands of little dodgers
printed, and hire a few boys to dis
tribute them. You've no idea how
the junk dealer and paper and rag
man will respect you.
A boy with a big placard on pole
is an interesting object on the street,
and lends an imposing air to your
blishment. Hire about two.
Advertise on a calendar. People
never look at calendar to see what
day of the month it is. They merely
glance hurriedly at it so as to be sure
that your name is spelled with or
without ''p," that's all.
But don't think of advertising in a
well-established, legitimate newspaper
Not for a moment. Your advertise
ment would be nicely printed and
would find it's way into all the thrifty
households of the region, where are
the farmer, the mechanic, the trades
men in other lines and into the fami-
lies of the wealthy and refined, all of
whom have articles to buy and money
with which to buy them, and it would
be read and pondered, and people

of course, it would be more expensive

none can read them, to be sure, but
perhaps the obliging conductor would

Have your card in the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping at
hotels for a night generally buy cigar
or two before leaving town, and they
need some inspiring literary food be-
sides.
If an advertising agent wants your
business advertised in a fancy frame
at the depot pay him about 200 per
cent more than it is worth and let him
put it there. When man has three
quarters of a second to catch a train
he invariably stops to read the depot

THE FARMERS BEST FRIENDS
The Value of Birds in the Destruc-
ton of Insects and the Seeds
of NOxiOus Weeds.
OF Noxious Weeds.

An ornithologist recently asserted
that except for the destruction of bird
life in Texas there would have been
no cotton boil weevil plague. This
may or may not be correct; yet it is
coming to be generally recognized
that the farmer has no better friends
than the birds flying about his acres
destroying insects and the seeds OF
noxious weeds. And there is to be
noted movement in several of the
states to the end of protecting the
birds game and non-game- because
of their good Offices to the farmer. In
the South Carolina legislature bill
has been introduced which declares
that all wild birds, both resident and
migratory, are the property of the
state, and that no person in the state
shall kill or catch or have in his pos
session any wild bird after it has
been killed or captured under penal
ty of 800 fine. 1t is further provided
that similar penalty shall be infiict-
ed on any person who breaks up
birds nest except for scientific pur-
poses. Certain predatory birds, such
as crows and hawks, are excepted
from the protection of the bill, but
game birds, like cartridges, doves
and robins, are given protection ex-
cept in the ''open season"
The BILL it seems to us, is a good
one, and ought to be passed. 1t is
the nature of birds to feed on insects
and seeds. There can be no successful
questioning of the fact that any bird
alive is worth more to the farmer than
the same bird would be if it were dead.
The investigation of the stomachs OF
doves, cartridges, sparrows and larks
has shown that their food consists al
most wholly of bugs, worms and seeds
of weeds. In the stomach of one dove,
examined by a scientist, there were
found approximately $500 seeds of
weeds; and this was one days feed
! ing. In the stomachs of several part
ridges more than 80 per cent of the
food was found to be bugs and worms
destructive to vegetable life Should
not these facts be sufficient to COM
mend doves and cartridges to the
most distinguished consideration of
the farmers and lawmakers? One lit
tie sparrow that was killed in a cotton
field had forty army worms in its
stomach. Wasn't that enough to
make the cotton farmer the friend of
the sparrow? Savannah News.

THE PRESIDENT WOULD KNOW
Asks Congress in Special Message to
Take Divorce Census.

The president has sent a message to
congress calling attention to the fact
that no statistics on marriage and di-
vorce have been collected since 1886,
and recommends legislation.
The president recommends that the
director of the census bureau be au-
thorized to collect the statistics per-
tanning to marriage and divorce COW
ering period from 1886 to the pres
ent. He says:
''The hope is entertained that CO.
operation amongst the several states
can be secured to the end that there
may be enacted, upon the subject of
marriages and divorces, uniform laws
containing all possible safeguard for
the security of the family. Intelligent
and prudent action in that direction
would be greatly promoted by securing
reliable and trustworthy statistics up
on marriage and divorce"

Succeeding in Resigning After a Per-
sistent Effort of More Than Yeaa.
A most remarkable postmaster has
been discovered at Hawthorne, N. j.
at least he was postmaster until a
few days ago, when the department
sent him happy deliverance. 1t APP
pears that this postmaster, Carman by
name, had been trying to resign for
more than year. His appeals to be
relieved from the duties and emolu-
ments of the position, however, fell
upon a mass of red tape in Washing
ton and thus became ineffective. AS
a desperate resort he began sending
in kilograms, charging them to the
government. The government charged
them back to Carman, and he paid the
charges without whimpering. But
still he kept firing in his requests to
be let out. At length he sent the de-
partment an ultimatum, stating that
he would certainly shut up the shop
and ship off to the nearest postoffice
all of the government supplies he had
on hand at certain date if he were
not relieved before that time. This,
it seems, stirred the department to
move as fast as it ever moves, and
after some further delay another per-
son was found who was willing to as
sumo the care of the mails at Haw-
thorne. 1t is such an exceptional cir
cumstances for postmaster to resign
that this instance is worthy of being
preserved. for the information of pos
terity.

ECCENTRIC ATLANTA MAN DEAD
Marble Had an Abiding Distrust for
His Fellow Man.

In M. j. Marble, who died Thurs
day, Atlanta lost one of the strangest
characters in it's history. Mr.. Marble
was pioneer and 10 years of age.
His chief peculiarly was a distrust OF
humanity. At his funeral there were
no ministers present and his body was
laid in the ground without any form
of religious service. His front gate
was generally found locked and he
notified his neighbors that he did not
wish to see them.
Some time ago Mr.. Marble found
that the birds were getting water near
his we'll in the back yard. This dis
pleased him greatly, and he contrived
a wire netting to keep them away from
the water.
