QUEER ACTION OF LAKE.
Goes Dry About Every Five Years
or So.

Triton, Ga, Nov. 2S.-Ross lake
one of the most notable bodies OF
water in this section of the State,
situated about ten miles east OF
Ashburn, in Turner county, went dry
this week, the waters being emptied
Thursday.
This body of water which is about
500 yards in length By about 900
yards in width, emptied itself period
ically, formerly about every seven
years, but recently once about every
five years.
The water begins running out
after protracted spell of dry wealth
er and runs off several days before
the lake is emptied. When the lake
begins to empty itself the citizens
gather for miles around to see the
curious sight and to catch the fish,
of which many barrels are gathered.
The lake is entirely empty now.

won't burden the agriculturist with
such loads as these" Congress could
have broadened your markets, OBJ
tanned greater mercantile trade by
reciprocity and other treaties. One
commodity could be exchanged for
another on terms fair to both. But
it's policies have caused the other
nations to adopt retalitory tactics
and narrowed the foreign markets
to the products of the American ag-
riculturist.
President Mckinley sent a Com
mission to France to negotiate a
treaty that would have meant the
entry into that country of cottonseed
products from the South, valued at
S20,000,000 a year. But the Senate
killed it, and killed it because 1t
contained a clause favoring the i'm.
portation of French hosiery. Some
little old New England mill would
have been affected, and so S20,000,-
600 a year to the South had to be
sacrificed.
In 1907, the sale of cotton abroad
amounted to 9,7OS,000 bales. This
cotton was manufactured and ship
ped back again and sold at higher
prices, so that the net profit to our
country was only $9,000,000. Don t
that show that we are selling cotro |
two low? Why not manufacture ev-
cry bale right here?
The high tariff and trust system
has restricted and narrowed the
market, cut off the demand and left
a surplus. The remedy lies in a low
er tariff. Let the foreigner in, re-
duce the price of American goods
that are now protected, and thereby
increase the demand for raw cotton
for the greater the demand is the
greater will be the price. That's
the permanent remedy.
Now for immediate and temporary
relief. I like that warehouse plan.
That takes it off. The coffee growers
were confronted with situation al
most similar to that which now con-
fronts the cotton farmer. Did they
swamp the market with their over
production? No, they put all their
surplus in warehouses, raised the
price and compelled the consumer
to pay for not only what was market
ed, but also for what was never solo
at all.

JAR STICKS ON HIS HEAD.
Boy Plays Soldier and Gets Into
Trouble.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Playing
soldier Brooklyn youngster placed
a brown earthenware jar, such as l.
used for baking beans, on his head
for helmet, then found to his NOR
tifcation and horror that he could
not remove it. Even more mortified
and more terrified was his mother,
who in desperation hurried the sob
bing little soldier out Of the house
and boarded a car bent on taking
him to a physician.
The child could not even wipe his
tear-filled eyes, for the rim of the
jar rested on the bridge of his nose.
Blushing furiously. the mother tried
to appear unconcerned in the face
of the staring passengers, but finally
one woman grew so serious that she
asked:
"Why does your little boy wear
a bean pot?"
Because he. can not get it off, -
replied the mother, stif1ly.
"Why don't you break it with a
hammer?" some one suggested.
This proved to he a happy thought,
and as there was no hammer avail
able, the motorman was called to the
rescue. He broke the jar with his
controller. The little boy gulped
with relief, and his mother took him
home. y

GEORGIA COMMUNITY EXCITED.
Citizens Looking for Negro Who
Threatened White Woman.

Ellaville, Ca, Nov. 27.-Great es-
element prevails here this evening
on account of an attempted assault
committed this morning near hero.
While alone in her home with her
babe, Mrs. Andrew Tellars, wife of
a farmer, was confronted by an un-
known negro, who threatened death
if she screamed.
Instead of screaming, the fright
ened lady seized her child and dash
ed from the dwelling leaving the
black invader in full possession.
Rushing to the field where Mr.. Tel
lars was engaged she gave the alarm.
The negro escaped before assistance
arrived.
One negro has since been captured
by the pursuers and held for more
complete identification. Two hun
dred armed men are searching the
woods of Schley county this after
noon in a determined hunt for the
negro, probably not. feeling certain
of the guilt of the prisoner already
in custody.

WENT ON THE WAR PATH
Because Her Son Was Whipped at
Public School.

Cuthbert, Ga, Nov. 2S.-Cuth-
berts public school children were
thrown into a panic Tuesday after
noon when Mrs. w. NJ. Shirley, wife
of Rev. ". NJ. Shirley, Baptist
minister, went, it is alleged, to the
school house holding a brick in her
hand, and in very exciting manner
asked for one Of the young lady
teachers.
One of the larger boys called Su-
perintendent Handy, while a man
living near telephoned for the po-
lice. Chief of Police Cox answered
the call and restored order.
The case Of disorderly conduct has
been entered against Mrs. Shirley and
will be tried in the police court next
Monday afternoon.
The trouble. it is alleged, grew
out OF one Of the teachers whipping
Mrs Shirley's son for an alleged
infraction of the rules.
Some of the school boys claim
that Mrs. Shirley visited the school
again on Wednesday afternoon. this
time armed with pistol, but failing
to find the teacher she was looking
for, left without making any demon

CAUGHT A SEA BAT.
Strange Fish Taken in q Seine Or
North Carolina Coast.


One of the rarest specimens of the
fish kingdom known to waters con-
tiguous to the North Carolina coast
was captured in a seine at Mason
boro Sound Monday by William
Hewlett, a fisherman. The fish,
which was brought to the city, is
what is called "the sea bat" and
it is a perfect reproduction Of a
leather wing bat on large scale.
The fish is about fifteen inches long
and about thirty inches across the
back.
Strange to state, it had thin
threadlike tail about fifteen inches
in length and on each side Of the
rear appendage were two perfectly
formed gloved feet, with smaller
diversion having the exact appear
ance of thumb, with the other part
of the hand mittened. The mouth
of the strange specimen was about
five inches across and on each side
of the mouth or the under side OF
the body there were FIVE "strainers"
or holes through which the fish is
said to rid itself Of refuse products
resulting from the forage it picks up
at the bottom of the sea- The top
of the fish was a dark slate color
and the under part Of the body was
white.
One old negro fisherman more
than 70 years Of age stated that thl:
was only the second specimen nf
the sea bat he had ever seen in his
long experience as a fisherman. =

WHAT We need
AND HOW THE GOVERNMENT
CAN HELP.
Better Foreign Markets, Real Regu-
Iation of Trusts and More Cotton
Manufacturing at Home.

Tom Watson, of Georgia, at the
meeting of the Farmers Union in
New Orleans recently made a speech
from which we make the. extract be-
low:
"In civilized government there
are three great departments upon
which prosperity depends. Agricul-
ture is one, manufacturing is another
and commerce is another. If the
government keeps hands off and
merely protects each man in the pos
session of his property, it is an open
field and a free fight, root hog, or
die The government can do this
or it can protect each and every one
of these departments, in which case
the result would be about the same
as in the first. But when the govern
ment takes up one at the expense OF
the others, the other two are in
jured. When it takes up two at the
expense of the third, the third Ian
guishes and suffers. Analyze this
situation and you will begin to real
ize what is the matter with the
backbone Of the country
Mr.. Watson reviewed the history
of protection in this country, and de-
clared the manufacturers have not
only made per cent, but also clear
ed $4,000, 1000 besides. He said
that the farmer has never asked any
thing but free field and fair fight,
and had been denied these; that he
had never asked to have other COM
modities taken to put money in his
own pocket; that no more unselifish
man was ever made in Gods image
on this earth; that when there is i
pestilential swamp to drain, the
farmer drains it; that when there are
taxes to pay, the farmer pays them;
that in the early history of the
country when there were savages to
drive back, it was the farmer who
shouidered his musket and did the
work. The capture of Andre was
referred to and it was stated that
the farmers who captured him could
not be bribed.
We cotton farmers Of the South
are the only people in the world who
have monopoly and don't know
what to do with it. continued the
speaker. The Steel Trust has mo-
nopoly and knows what to do. 1t
sells you plows, and hoes and rakes,
and you have to pay the price. The
Harvester Trust makes you pay the
price. And all the time they are
selling in South America and Russia
at cheaper prices than at home. The
Coal Trust fixes the price of the coal.
1t is their business to fix the price
and yours to pay the price.

HOG KILLING TIME
SOME GOOD OLD SOUTHERN
Recipes OF
How to Make All Sorts Of Good
Things When You Kill Your Hogs
This Winter.

We print below some good old
time Souti&rn recipes that were
/ used before creosote, borax and 9th
er so-called preservatives were
known. In the days before the war
says Commissioner Of Agriculture
Graham, of North Carolina, in the
Progressive Farmer, any ore who
used these things would have but lit,
tie company for Christmas. But
here is what we started out to say:
'In Cutting Up"
In "cutting up" the hog, Gu;
through the skin on each side o.
the backbone; this gives the fiat
back" piece, which with ali Surplus
fat from the hams and shoulders
goes into the lard. First-class lard
is generally the highest priced hog
product. l cut to save all that can
be gotten.
Pork Chops.
In taking out the spare ribs begin
at the bottom instead Of at the
backbone, as is usually done. TAX"
out the loin, some times callea
griskin or sausage piece, with the
rib. Cut the rib in two lengthwise,
the bottom piece is still spare rib;
cut each rib of upper piece with at
tached meat for chops.
In shoat or hog weighing sixty
pounds or Jess the backbone can
be split, leaving half to each side.
Cut the lower half for barbecue
and then separate each rib through
the skin for chops.
How to Treat Hams.
When cut out sprinkle half tea
spoonful of powdered salt peter on
each ham; use one part granulated
sugar, three parts good salt; put
hams in tub or box, let remain three
days, break bulk and re-pack, using
some salt. This is done to be sure
that all parts of the ham get their
salt. Let it lie in bulk one day
for each pound the ham weighs.
hang and smoke for ten days, take
down and apply to flesh of ham q
paste of molasses and ground black
pepper, wrap in newspaper and pac'o
in barrel with cut, nice hay between
hams to keep from touching.
This process is for hams from
hogs weighing ESQ pounds or less
Those who have few hams can treat
the shoulders as hams. For hams
from hogs weighing more than $50
pounds, put in brine described below
for corn beef and picked pork, let
lie for four weeks and then smoke
until dry and treat as for lighter
hams.
