her; but it at least trumpets, in its
brazen voice, from sea to sea, every
motion she makes, every step she
takes, every dress she wears every
friend she visits or receives, the color
of her hair, the number Of her gloves,
the name Of her lap-dog, the parties
to her flirtations and matrimonial enc
gagements; and so Oh from the cradle
to the grave. This tribute is render
ed in virtue Of her high Importance
in other words Of the intensity and
immensity of her presence, regarded
everywhere as so promptly effective
and triumphant. The publicity it is
that attests her success, for what is
success, at this time of day and in the
conditions refer to, but to be as pub
lie as possible9 1t is the most uni
vcrsal state, then, Of the American
woman, who enjoys it with fewer re-
strictions, fewer determinations as
from Mrs. Brown to Mrs. Smith, let
home alone from maiden to maiden, in
either clan, than her sisters elsewhere
under the sun; and it has ended as
with practical invitation to us to
swell the apprcciativc chorus. Good
naturedly, irreflcctively, the vague OBJ
server is prone, no doubt, to do SO;
the last thing he thinks Of, that is, is
to challenge so seemingly overwhelm-
ing concensus. Tt is bronze in upon
him that if mankind at large has be-
come acutely conscious Of the crea-
ture, there must be something "be-
hindu such a fact; the creature must
somehow explain her remarkable for
tune.

Triumphant American Women

Henry James in Herpar's Bazaar.

commonplaces of journalism, certain

American woman more and more pre-

tenn of publicity-that of the journal

Poultry Notes.

I. S. Field in Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore for November:
The axe is about the only sure cure
for hen that has acquired the habit
of eating eggs.
Hens kept in flocks from 30 to 40
with about two males produce the best
results.
Wholesome food for hens adds
greatly to the flavor and quality of
the eggs they lay.
Coal oil and lard arc good for scaly
legs. This condition is due to par
asites, and this preparation will do
the work.
Laying hens need and consume
more food than idle ones. Care should
be taken that they get it.
Don't overfeed your hens if you ex-
poet them to lay eggs. Too much food
is more detrimental than not enough.
Peep your fall-hatched chicks in the
poultry-house on cold and rainy morn
ings until frost is out Of the air. They
are apt to catch cold if you do. not.
Barn, sheds, trees and old boxes are
lno places for chickens to roost. All
up-to-aate farmers and poultry-rais-
ers provide proper houses for their
flock. E..<

But here comes Secretary Wilson,

buC mere comes secretary wilson,
of the United States department Of
agriculture at Washington, saying
that it is possible. for a hens egg,
even before it is laid, to become in
fcctcd with micro-organisms.
Think for a moment Of the surprise
and modification, nay! even heart
aches that would come to any self
respecting Georgia hen if she discov-
cred that she has laid an egg with an
appendage like that. I shudder to
think Of the feelings of man who
may in the future 60 into a restau-
rant to order soft boiled eggs, only to
find in the blass, when he has opened
tho eggs, two or three poor little
micro-organisms flipping and found
cring around in the sticky stuff with
all the hair scaldcd off their heads
and tails and perhaps their eyes put
out. 1t would be cruel indeed, and
the next thing I expect to hear in
that the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals has begun II
crusade against the soft boiled egg.
Secretary Wilson suggests that
hens, even the Georgia hens who have
no vices outside Of scratching up cab
bage plants in your neighbours garden
and sitting on door knobs and brick
bats, may carry around typhoid fever
germs on their feet. | think I sec
where this thing is leading. There
is an effort being made to put the
hen in the same class with the small
boy and to make her wash her feet
before she goes to bed.
1t is also stated that it is dangerous
to eat eggs raw. Can't you see a hid
den thrust here against the hound pup
and the yaller dog7 If you can't, I
can. Everybody is down on these two
unfortunate classes Of the canine fam
lily and now here is another effort to
put them out of the way by the ty-
phoid fever route.
l don't wonder at the scarcity Of
eggs since I have read the secretary
pronunciamento. How can any self
respecting hen afford to lay eggs when
she is loaded down with typhoid fever
germsf How could she afford to sing
or to blithely cackle again if she felt
that she was placing typhoid fever
germs in the way of every innocent
hound pup and Of every unsuspecting
yaller dog on the placer I just would
not do it, I wouldn't.
That's the trouble with these scien-
tific farmers who plow on paper and
reap in bulletins and whose hens are
paper hens. They know too much and
before long no man can feel safe un-
less there is a pasteurized certificate
with every egg, insuring him that the
hen has been disinfected before the
egg was laid. I have been looking
for the invention of breed of COWS
that will give buttermilk, but now
there is crying need for a new breed
of hens that will lay hard boiled eggs,
even if we will have to do without
custards, omelets and egg-nogs.
We have the tubercular COW, the
trichina pig, the germ filled milk, the
micro egg and the first thing we know
these sharp eyed fellows will spring
the bacteria biscuit, the protopastic
hattcrcakc, walcrostic waffle and the
flabbcrcastcd syrup, and We'll all
have to get down to eating green corn
and grasshoppers.
I am very nearly to the end of my
row and am in full sympathy with
the old farmer who said:

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown i'm the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

Hundreds Of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-.
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made SO much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to. be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many Of these limitations are

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen.
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S"C~H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
CheWers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to P1.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in sc. cuts,
strictly 1oc. and 15c. plugs.

"A SONG OF CHEER
=: =. AND A VAIL OF WOE.
BY Rev. Alex w. Bealer.


IF had the time I would drop into
poetry today and tell to all the world
the beauty of fall time in south Geor-
gia. Tho beauty Of the flowers appeals
to the eye Of even the most callous OBJ
server. Roses red, white, yellow and
pink are blooming everywhere and
stately dahlics life their flaming
faces to smile upon the passing stran-
ger who comes from colder and moro
inhospitable climates. 1t seems to me
as if the flowers were determined to
cover up the touch of death the frost
has left upon the fading vegetation.
The beauty Of the whrring quail,
the cluclling turkeys, the barking
squirrels and the trotting 'possums
in the woods appeals to the car and
tells to all lovers of sport and good
eating that the open season for game
is almost here.
The beautiful flash Of the fat red
breasted perch as he snaps up grass
hopper or juicy oak worm and then
Gomez fluttcring and floundcrins
from TIC blue waters Of the river into
which you have cast your line, APP
pcals to the appetite, for if there is
finer fish than the Ochlochonee
perch and Dream I do not know where
it is to be found, unless it is the trout
that makes his home in the same
stream.
The rustling cane in the patches
that surround every home, even the
Negroes shanty (for they must all
have their "sop") tells of sugar
"bilin s" in the near future and new
syrup with hot buckwhcat-and-wcll
feel like some of you north Georgia
fellows would hit me right now if yon
could get close enough to me, since
these things. like the niggcr's pos
sum, arc too good to talk about, much
less to write about where you can
almost smell them.
If You will stop long enough wen
join in together and sing Howard
Wecdon's little song that is running
in my head this morning, and it fits
South Georgia to q t.
"Whcn autumn skies arc deeper blue
Than any skies June ever knew;
When frost has touched the mellow
air
Till yellow leaves fall everywhere;
When wild grapes scent the winds
with WING,
And ripe persimmons give the sign,
Then life seems happy as rhyme
Because-it's nearly 'possum time.
"When fires roar on the cabin hearth,
And ovens bubble low in mirth;
When sweet potatoes slowly bake,
And nanny makes her best ash cake;
When dady climbs the "jice' and
throws
A string of peppers down it shows,
That life is happier than rhyme,
Because at last-it's 'possum time. "
More trouble has come into my life
and there is Il wall Of woe in my heart

glc' I have not been able to cat any
western beef, pork, bacon or ham,
and have been forced to do the best
l could on chickens and eggs when 1
could persuade the festive Thomas
county hens to get busy.

Scores of men were hunting the
murderer, and the posse who finally
killed him was headed by Capt. Jordan.
Just who fired the bullet that brought
low the desperate is not known for
sure, but DIR. Lloyd Russell is given the
credit for it by many of those present.
Harris fought desperately to the last
and died as he had lived, his hand
against everyone, and everyone's hand
against him. Over 800 shots took
affect, his head being almost shot away
He was dragged from the woods where
he had died, to wagon, his blood leav-
ing a brilliant trail in the fresh fallen
snow, and taken to Asheville. On the
outskirts of the city the posse was met
by a great crowd, and it was with the
utmost difficulty the body was finally
gotten to the undertaking rooms, where
it was finally exposed to the view of
the thousands blocking South Main
street by standing it up in the window
of the undertaking establishment.
The reward offered for the capture of
the negro was voted by the posse to the
relief fund for the widows of the patrol
men.

A Military Company.

1t is the opinion of many of our
prominent citizens that what this town
needs is a military company, to be or
ganized amongst our young men. 1t is
claimed that there is no lack of ma
terial for such an organization, that
the initial cost would be small, and that
it would add much to the social life of
the town. The state would furnish the.
guns, and uniforms would cost possibly
SIS each. Balls and entertainments
could be given during the year which
would more than defray all expenses
Mr.. J. G.. Morrow, of Rigby & Morrow,
is enthusiastic over the scheme, and says
that a well drilled military COM
pany, of picked men, might some day
be of inestimable service to the COM
munity. The case of the desperate
Harris, in Asheville, lends point to
this view.
