MEAT RAISING IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
trom The Atlanta News.


the department of agriculture, who
has some literature on that subject.
We can vouch fer the excellence
of the Smithfield hams, and we should
like to see Georgia hams attain a
reputation like those of Virginia.
We make this suggestion for the ben
eft of our south Georgia friends,
but it is a suggestion merely. We do
not pretend to any practical knowl-
edge of hog raising, but we do know
that the modern ice plant opens up
possibilities for south Georgia that
ought to be improved to the fullest
extent. We know, also, that no west
ern ham possesses the flavor of the
country cured ham. and that the
Smithfeld ham possesses a delicacy
and flavor absolutely unknown to the
western hams. We should like to see
the Georgia ham made famous.
In this connection we wish to con-
graduate the whole south Georgia
section on its development and pros
perity. Some years ago there was
apprehension that the pine belt would
become a barren waste when denuded
of its timber. Instead, that whole
country is as luXuriant as garden
and lands have enormously increased
in value. A veritable horn of plenty
has showered blessings from the Sa-
vannah to the ChattahOochee, and the
tales of prosperity we hear are enough
to make every Georgian's heart glow
with pride.
Truly we have a great state, and a
noble, industrious and happy peo-
pie.

The Dawson News says the farmers
of Brooks county will sell hundred
thousand dollars worth of meat this
season. This is a splendid showing
for the progress of south Georgia, IL
Illustrating as it does the superb mate
rial growth of that section. Mr.. +. j.
Young sold 5000 pounds OF meat at
Ouitman a few days ago, and Mr.. W al
ter Avera sold 1000 pounds. 1t IS
said that nearly every farmer In
Brooks county raises meat for mar
ket. The farmers have cold storage
facilities, and the warm weather does
not interfere with this industry.
South Georgia has been known as
the home of the razor-back, priced on
account of his speed and his ability
to 'outrun niger. y
General Gordon used to tell story
of worthy colored man who tried
to speculate on lot of razor backs
which he drove up to Columbus. The
old man said that all he made was
"iust the company of the hogs up
there.
The Brooks county farmers, we dare
say, raise blooded hogs, and yet the
much laughed at raZOr-back furnishes
the most famous hams in the world,
the noted product of Smithield, Va.
which frequently sells at % cents a
pound wholesale. The Virginia
razor backs are allowed to run wild
until the time for fattening comes and
then, we believe, they are fed on
corn. AS to that, however, and the
process of curing we can refer our
readers to Captain Bob Wright, of

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.

Anti-American feeling in China is
increasingly manifest Diplomatic
and consular agents in different parts
of the empire report the publication of
DEGREES by local authorities which ex-
press this feeling, and manifestoes by
Chinese organizations urging the
maintenance of a boycott against
American goods. The vlceroy of
Pechili province has dismissed Pro-
lessor Tenney, the foreign director of
education, who organized the school
system in that province, because OF
the hostility to him as an American.
An armed band of Chinese recently
looted the residence of an American
missionary at Fati, and the local au-
thorities refused protection. Later
English missions at Chang-pu, near
Amooy, were destroyed by the mob.
To some extent the unfriendly agita-
ton is directed against all foreigners.
but it is specially aimed at Ameri-
cans because of resentment occasion
ed Dy the enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion laws in this country.

TIME FOR ACTION.

The question. "Shall 1 Advertise?
comes to every merchant at the time
when business is dull. He sometimes
satisfies himself, observes an eX-
change, with the conclusion that while
business is dull he cannot afford It,
When business picks up one merchant
saws that he has all the business he
needs. and another says that while
hDsiness is good he will advertise.
There is with many merchants a mis-
taken idea in regard to advertising
A man who has business should ad-
vertise it continually.
When business is slow endeavor to
liven it UP, and when it does liven up
endeavor to keep it alive. Some bus
mess men say that with their particu-
lar business they have nothing to ad-
yertise. If not, then they ought to
keen their names before the public
continually in a way that will attract
attention. If you can't advertise
your goods advertise your PERSONAL
ty. and if people do not buy your
goods because of their merit make
Them buy out of respect for your pluck
and ingenuity in placing them before
bhe public.
Advertise with all the money you
aan snare. 1t pays.

True Cataract Operation Was Per-
formed Here Successfully.

1t will be remembered by many
persons in Dawson that about the
middle of December the ''true cataract
operation" was performed here in
Dawson, Mrs. Fannie Huff, wife of
Mr. Frank Huff of near YeomanS, one
of Terrell's most estimable families,
being the patient.
The operation was performed at the
home of Mr.. Walter Dozier, Mrs.
Huff being nursed by Mrs. Susie
Dozier, an old-time friend, three
weeks. The operation was a success
in every way.
At the time there was much discus
sion about town among those who heard
of the operation as to whether the eye
was actually cut open. In this in
stance the cataract was what is known
as 1.-The true senile cataract" and it
is true that the eye was laid wide
open, Mrs. Huff lying fiat on her
back, never feeling pain or tilnching
and at once, on having the cataract
removed and the wound closed where
the knife entered and did its work, she
could see, something she had not done
for years in that eye.
Mrs. Huff was intending to 90 to
DR.. Calhoun soon for the operation,
but the feebleness of her husband
caused her to not do so; and when the
opportunity presented to have it
done in Dawson she accepted at once,
and to her satisfaction she now sees
out of the eye that was before blind,
with the surgeons assurance that 1T
will never 90 blind any more, but will
improve in sight for two years.
The cataract can be seen at the
Dawson Drug Co.'S, by asking Mr..
Charlie Harris or Mr.. Raymond
Dozier, in little bottle of glycerine,
and as many persons do not know
what true internal cataract is
any one can see by examining it.

An EDITORS Bad Bargain.

A store-bought bride may turn out
to be a questionable bargain, as has
been learned by Shenandoah county,
Virginia, country editor. He procur-
ed bride through a Philadelphia
matrimonial agency, paying stipu-
lated sum for the introduction and the
negotiations. The couple had lived
together about two weeks when a dis
pute arose with respect to their prop
erty rights, and the bride thrashed
her husband soundly and got on the
train and went back to Philadelphia.

What name is this railroad rate bill
going to bear, in the event of it's pas
sage? 1t is customary to call bill af-
ter the name of the man who has
charge of it in congress, or who writes
it. The republican leaders desire that
a railroad rate law shall be identified
with their party. But it looks now as
if, in all fairness, the bill that is now
receiving attention should be called
the Tillman bill.

MAKING rHElDIRT FLY.

Golfers Weekly of March 3rd. con-
tains an article by Professor Freder-
ick Palmer on Panama. He says
there are now seventeen steam shovels
at work making the dirt fly. Two
or three years from now there will be
a hundred steam shovels at work
They lift a half ton each of dirt and
rock in their steel teeth and drop II
into dump car "as easily as you
would put lump of sugar in your
coffee" The difficulty is not so much
in digging the dirt as in carrying IL
away. When the steam shovel has
filed dump car, which it does IN
three bites, you cannot say that this
amount of earth is ey1avated. Inc
dump car must deposit its burden far
away from the canal, out where, by
no possibility, will it ever be washed
or slide back into the canal. 1t must
be hauled down hill.
