$67,OOO,OOO viii Be
Added To States Value
Big Increase FOrecasted BY Comp
trolIer Wright Over 1910
S76O,OOO,OOO Total

Comptroller General Wright esti-
mates that the returns Of property
this year to the state will be about
$67,000,000, or more greater than
asst years returns. He thinks that
the value of property in Georgia is
now about $16O,0O0,0O0 greater
than it was at the time of the civil
war. The value of property in the
state was then estimated at $780,
100000, of which $3OO,OOO,OOO con-
sisted of slaves.
General Wright Saturday morn
ing gave these estimates in speaking
of tax returns that have been made
to him by the railroads. None of
these returns have been accepted,
because the comptroller thinks they
all fail to show the increase in rail-
road property that has rapidly been
made during last year.

At Bowen'S Mill, Thursday June

Confederate Veterans of company
E" 40 Georgia Regiment.
The company roll once numbered
one hundred and thirty-six names.
Of that number only about twelve

Many of them are on the battle

have died since 1855
But there will be an effort to as
semble the remnant at Bowen's Mill

Each member of the company is
invited to bring his friends, as many
as he likes.
Capt. of the company when it was
disbanded. A. C. McLendon. of

command perhaps for the last time.
The roll will be called from the
old roll-book and every man not
present will be accounted for or an
effort will be made to tell what be-

ing and has since been confirmed
by the executive committee.
Secretary P. D. McCartey, who is

like briefness.
There will be a number of short,
snappy speeches from speakers of
note; the business of the association
will be transacted; the annual
election of officers held and adjourn
ment taken. In view of the fact
that the dates for the convention
fall on Monday and Tuesday it is

More Burslaries

We are having too many burg
laries in Fitzgerald, gentlemen of
the jury, the jury in this case is the
police the Judge is the Mayor and
council, we are pleading the case
and we are scared, because we do
not know when our time will come.
The burglar may be at our house
next, and should we discover him
there would be a row on the spot,
if we should fail, then what the
burglars took away would be a clear
loss.
We believe the burglars are boys
certainly green horns at the business
and we hope the police will make
heroic efforts to apprehend them. :.
The council could afford to hire a
special man from Savannah or Ma
con to work on the case.
A burglar is a murderer at heart
and awfully dangerous in any COM
munity. We are not an advocate
of lynch law but we sometimes
become very impatient at the legal
routine or the impotence of the
authorities.
Burglars broke into the home of
Mr.. W. R. Paulk on N. Main street
Saturday night and stole his watch
and pocket change from his pants
within a few feet of the bed on
which Mr.. Paulk was sleeping.
The same night and probably the
same thieves entered the home of
V. R. Davis, near the Paulk home
and took sixteen dollars and all his
cigars, making good their escape.
The tracks indicate that boys did
the work.
Mr.. Davis home was entered by
removing the screen window.

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
President Barrett's Ambition.

surface there may be superficial
differences, but the things that count
in your county and in my country
are just about the same things. We
have all suffered from poverty. The
effects of dishonesty injure us equal
ly. Prosperity is welcome to us,
whether we affiliate with farmers
organization or 60 it alone.
For these reasons | want to hasten
the day when we can get every
farmer in this broad land to come
in under one roof and pull in the
same harness for those great big
principles that mean so much to us,
to our wives and our children.
The Farmers union doesn't want
to gobble up every other organiza-
ton in sight, but it does want to do
good work for the American farmer,
He is the man we are planning
and striving for whether he has a
Onehorse or a 100-hOrse farm; Weth-
er he dry farms or wet farms, Weth-
er he's got a mortgage on his house
as big as a mountain or is monarch
of all he surveys.
Think about this members of the
Farmers union and officers and
members of other farmers Organiza-
tons. Consider what we have in
common and what we could accom-
plish if we got together to fight the
common foe, and to solve problems
that are mutual.
hope to live to see the dawning
of the day when all rural Organiza-
tons will have an understanding,
and when every farmer in this
country will be organized.
1t will be better for us. 1t will be
better for the country.

1t is a simple matter of record
that the Farmers union is the great

ORGANIZATIONS in the country, large

of influence and strength.
S0oner or later-sooner, | hope
there will be a federation beWeen
the Farmers union and these other
organizations. BY a federation do
not mean necessarily an organic
union. But | do mean a working
agreement on such features as all
farmers have in common, perhaps
on cooperative and distributing
movements, and on legislative pro-
grams.
Nothing is done in this country
without organization. From the
mightiest trust on down to the
smallest and newest business con-
Germ the principle of organization
rules supreme. Organization has
won the worlds battles, whether on

for long and useful service.
Naturally such horses do not pay.
They bring the lowest prices in the
market, their life of usefulness is
short, they are not pleasing to the
eye, often vicious and untractable
and most important Of all is, it costs
just as much to feed and care for one
of these miserable scrubs as it does
to feed and care for a pure-bred.
So important has been the influence
of scrub sires in some states, that the
legislatures have been prevailed upon
to pass laws to improve the situation.

FEEDING SILAGE TO SHEEP

A series OF exhaustive tests at the

ly desirable feed for sheep in winter.
It has an excellent effect upon the di-
gestive system and upon the general
health and thrift of the lambs. Ewes

GLIDING a liberal amount of silage gain
an average each winter of 20 pounds,
while those similarly fed without sill
age gain only 1914 pounds. Those re-
ceiving the silage also consume more
than per cent less grain and over
80 per cent less clover hay than those
maintained exclusively upon dry feed.
It also had valuable effect upon the

said the agent for a show was up

'Fussin' about an advertisement or
somethin' or other in The Trumpet
Blast" said the boy.

the dramatic profession just then, so
was on the point OF saying to the boy
that he might go back and tell that
show agent that If he wanted to see
me about an ad. or something in The
Trumpet Blast, he could find me at
my office if he came right away; but
as / glanced about the Office I was
seized of sudden idea, and it caused
me to change my mind.

The boy went back with the mes

that evening, and l dined in less time
than I had expected to, but | went

OF A POOR SIRE
Improvement in Types of Horses sreo
on Our Farms of Greatest I'M
portance to Farmer.

The fact that the sire is concerned
with so many more individual off
spring in a given season than a SIN
gle mare, makes it readily seen that
his influence is much more extensive
To improve the horse stock OF gen
community through the female line
for instance, would require the use
Of fifty or more superior mares to &C
complish the same results as migh'
be secured by the use of single stat
lion.
Purity of breeding insures prepo
tency and since, in the grading-up pro
cess the pure-bred parent Is usually
the sire, it is essential that he be OF
such a character that the impression
which he stamps upon his offspring
shall be only Of the best.
Defects in structure cannot be OF
set by type Or breeding of the high
est degree of excellency. A horse ma!
be a superior Individual In class by
himself, but he must conform closet,
to the specified requirements of the
type with which he should class.
The influence of well-bred sires il
any community can readily be seer
by observing the horses used in the
fields. on the road and particularly IL
the horse markets of the cities.
Certain states that have paid at
tention to horse-breeding, now pro
duce animals that can almost be tolt
at glance by dealers, without know
ing in advance where they came from
so superior is their quality. Othe,
states have exactly the reverse repu
tation and as soon as a lot is an
nounced as coming from such sta te
dealers will desert the sale ring
Horses coming from such localities
where farmers are averse to paying
decent service-fee, but prefer to U.S.
scrubs, are of poor type, vary widel,
