CREAMERIES IN GEORGIA.
Some Important Matters to Consider Before
Jumping Into Such an Enterprise.

SuuPSu6 luiV OVOu vi IutVIptloVa
Do we of North Carolina want
to follow Georgia in the matter of
building creameries? Wait just
a minute. let us stop and consid-
er. Last year the Chicago Build.
ing and Manufacturing Company,
which is now working in this
State, built eight creameries in
Georgia. Of this number the fol-
lowing have closed up: Madison,
Ca. established November, 1908,
closed March 18th, 1909; Coweta
Creamery Co., Newman, Ga
built July, 1908, sold at auction
June 9th, 1909, but was closed
four months prior to sale; Amer
icus Creamery Co., Americas. Ga,,
built October, 1908. c'osed Au
gust, 1909; Cedar Town Creamery
Cedar Town, Ca, built in June,
1908, paid expenses II month
then ran behind until it got 81, 700
in debt. The other creameries es.
tablished have been only partially
successful. At some of these
plants only u man supplied the
milk. The above is not a very
hattering record, is it?
In working up these creameries,
the promoter has led the farmer
to believe that a creamery "a be
run with much fewer COWS than is
really necessary by telling him
that the average cow will produce
two gallons of milk per day and
and make a pound of butter per
day, neither of which is true. The
average COW in the thirteen South
ern States, according to Farmers
Bulletin $40, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, produces
3O36 pounds 1858 gallons) of milk
per year and makes 10 pounds Of
butter per year, This is less than
a gallon of milk and less than one
half pound Of butter per day. 1t,
therefore, takes about twice as
many COWS to support a creamery
as the promoter would have you
believe.
40 not jump into this cream
erJr business until you have made
m1re of a study of it and do not
take any one mans word for it
bus write to several parties whose
business it is to be posted on such
matters. l would suggest the
following parties as we'll qualified

Who Will Oppose Gow|es in Eighth?

Winston~Salem, Nov. 81
It is generally conceded that
Congressman G. H. Cowles
will be renominated by his
party in the Eighth district.
A prominent Democrat from
that political territory was
asked who would be the nom.
inee of this party for Congress
next year. He replied that
at present it looked like eth
er R. L. Doughton, of Alle-
gany, or L. G. Caldwell, Of
Statesville. The friends of
these gentlemen are pushing
their candidacy and it app
pears that the contest over the
nomination will be quite lives
ly.
Several others are being
mentioned, among them be-
ing Whitehead Kluttz and
Walter Murphy, of Salisbury,
and T. C.. Bowie, of jefferson,
but it is understood that
neither of these three gentle~
men will make an active fight
for the nomination.

SPANKING IN LIGHT FOR NICARAGUA.

Of Groce and Cannon.

Of Groce and Cannon.
Washington, Dec. 1.-eecretary
of State Knox late today returned
the passports of Felipe Rodriguez,
charge d'affaires of the Nicaragu-
an legation, with a letter scsth.
lngly denouncing the Zelayan
administration of the government
of Nicaragua. The letter is de.
fnltely declared to represent the
views of President Taft and is
about as palm spoken as anything
emanating from the State Depart.
ment in years.
The extraordinary feature of
the letter is that is seems to
evince an intention on the part of
the United States to hold Pfesi-
dence Zelaya personally RESPONSE
bic for the alleged torture and
execution of the Americans,
Cannon and Groce, and exhibits
the unique situation of one gov
eminent holding the Chief Execu.
tive of another practically as a
common malefactor. Zelaya is
branded as a violator of solemn
international conventions, a dis
turber of the national and inter-
national peace, a tyrant admins
tration has been a blot upon the
name of good government.
Secretary Knox virtually an
nounces the recognition of the
Nicaraguan revolutionists, de-
clares it to be the conviction of
the United States that the revolu-
tion represents the sentiments tf
majority of the Nicarauguan
people, and that there is evidently
no responsible government with
which the United States can deal.
He therefore annouuces that all
parties will be held accountable
for their actions az affecting the
interests of Americans and the
peace of Central America. He

the status of war as it could be

many words, makes it plain that
the action represents the wish and
attitude of all of the Contra

A RARE EXPERIENCE.
Judge Norwood Makes Address at the
Scene of His Birth After Sew
enty-FiVe Years.

Rarely is it given to man to re-
visit the scene of his birth and child
hood after the lapse of three-quar-
ters of a century. Rarer still is it
that such a man returns to his old
home in strength and vigor and
makes an address to large crowd
of people. Such, however, were the
experiences of the hon. Thomas M
Norwood a few days ago, when he
visited Culloden, in middle Georgia
He found at his old home not one
person who was there at the time he
left, and he believes that there are
only two persons alive who lived at
Culloden when he did, both being
now in south Georgia. Judge Nor
woods "reminiscences must have been
highly interesting to the people of
the town, and have formed a valua-
bic contribution to its history.

Old Age.

Old age as it comes in the order
ly process of Nature is a beautiful
and majestic thing. The very shad-
ow eclipse which threatens it makes
it the more priced. 1t stands for
experience, knowledge, wisdom and
counsel. That is old age as it should
be. But old age as it so often is
means nothing but a second child
hood of mind and body. What
makes the difference? Very largely
the care of the stomach. In youth
and the full strength of manhood it
doesn't seem to matter how we treat
the stomach. We abuse it, oyerwork
it, injure it. We don't suffer from
it much. But when age comes the
stomach is worn out. 1t can't pre-
pare and distribute the needed nOur-
ishment to the body, and the body,
unnOurished, falls into senile decay.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is a wonderful medicine for old
people whose stomachs are weak
and whose digestions are poor"
It's invigorating effects are felt by
mind as we'll as body. 1t takes the
sting from old age, and makes old
people strong.

A THRILLING POEM ON A THRILLING SUBJECT
Credited Different Persons and the Question Now Is
Who Wrote It? What Whittier Said of 1t.

From the Savannah Morning News.
Editor of Morning News; In a
friends scrapbook there is a poem
called You Kissed Me, which my
friend says was clipped from the
Morning News some years ago, to
which it was furnished by Mr.. Simon
Gazan of Savannah, who said it was
written by Miss Celia Gardner, a
lady under 20 years of age, and that
John Greenleaf Whittier, referring to
the poem and its author, said that
'she had truly mastered the art of
writing English verse" Would you
be kind enough to reprint it, and
oblige, AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
The publication of the poem above
referred to was called forth by an
article entitled "A Medley on Kiss
ing" written by Mr.. T. X. Oglesby,
and published in the Morning News
shortly after the kissing of Mr. Car
negie by a society lady in Atlanta
at public reception given to him in
that city a few years ago. 1t was
an incident much talked of and much

Will always be interested in we re-
print it, followed by the poem, that
our correspondent may have them
both together
The authorship of the poem has
been ascribed to others than Miss
Gardner. A correspondent of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat said it
was written by Josephine S. Brent,
a young girl of Is, and addressed
by her to an army officer. Another
of the same paper
said it was written by H. E. Nc
Duf1e, and was originally published
in the Home Journal in 1856 Mr.. |
Oglesby, in quoting a verse of the |
poem, said that he did not know who |
was the author, but presumed that |
it was Ella Wheeler Wilcox a very
natural presumption on the part of |
any one who has read the fervid pro-
auctions of the writer of Poems of |
Passion.

MEDLEY ON KISSING.

A Texas Paper, discussing that
world-famOus osculatory perform
ance that took place in Atlanta late
ly, quotes in connection Herewith
that salaciOus poem, You Kissed
Me-" of which the following is the
ultimate verse:
You kissed me! My soul, in a bliss
so divine,
Reeled and swooned like a drunken
man foolish with wine;
And ! thought 'twere delicious to die
then, if death
Would come while my lips were yet
moist with your breath
'Twere delicious to die if my heart
might grow cold
While your arms wrapped me round
in that passionate fold
Ard these are the questions l ask
day and night:
Must my life taste no more such ex-
quisite delight?
Would you care if your breast were
my shelter as then
And if you were here would you kiss
me again?'
We do not know who is the author
of this poem. Presumably, though,
it was written by Ella Wheeler Will
coX-in her prime-before she was
married; and the Irishman's answer
to the question with which it con-
cludes will doubtless be adopted as
his very own by the Texas editor
When the son of the Emerald Isle
blood kinsman of that rollicking
young Rory OMore who courted
Kathleen Bawn-read the poem he
answered the lady's burning ques-
ton by simply asking: Would a
duck swim?" Whoever that lady
is, she is-or was-clearly one of
the sort who would kiss till the COW
comes home"

The formal kiss of fashion is, of
course, very insipid sort of thing
in comparison with the burning kiss
of passion, about which the writer
of the verse above quoted took the
public so unreserVedly into her con-
fidence, the latter, we suppose, being
of the same quality as the one some
what more delicately portrayed by
the lover in "Locksley Hail." when
he says:
Many an evening by the waters did
we watch the stately ships,
And our spirits rushed together at
the touching of the lips"
And Plato, Too.
But long before Tennyson wrote
that way about it Plato had express
ed the same idea more succinctly in |
saying when he kisses his mistress: |
My soul then futters to my lip,
Ready to fly and mix with thine" |

it is simply another instance of the !

sorts of kisses that have punctuated
the fleeing years on this sublunary
sphere should fail to include the
kiss 'paroxysmal, the 'inspiration-

might properly be classed under the
comprehensive general term of
smouching. These were the oscula-
