LOST MOUNTAIN.

Mrs. Eliza Martin lost a milk cow
last week.
T. M. Wardlew went to Atlanta
Sunday to see Sam Moon who is sick
with measles.
Will some one tell US when the
hog will come out again, just wanted
to know if our winter supply of
wood would last until Spring.
Uncle Jack why not get out with
road drag and show your neighbors
what can be done, give them an
object lesson or have you done this?
If the farmers along our main thor
oughfares would take this up and
each one would drag his section we
could with the exception of about
two months in the year have the
very best of roads, if the farmers
want them with a little work they
can have them. 1t has demonstrated
beyond a doubt the road drag is one
the best tools ever put on a road.
Why not convert the top of lost
mountain into a beautiful park the
scenery furnished by nature is simply
grand. If beautified little it could
could be made one of the most de
sirable pleasure resorts in North
Georgia. Then in our leisure sea-
sons we would have a nice place to
go and rest. We would like to see
our ladies interest themselves in
this scheme and see what can be
done. Why not get it ready before
the National Highway comes? 1t is
fast being shorn Of its timber and
will soon only be a bald knob left
and it's picturesque scenery de-
stroyed.
The weather still continues at the
u. S. bureau here for the month Of

Mr. Farmer, have you thought
much about cutting your acreage
on cotton for 1912? If you have
not you had better get to thinking.
1t is up to you to protect your fam
lily by cutting the acreage of your
cotton and by growing more corn,
wheat, potatoes and feed stuffS for
your horses and cows. Brother, if
we would succeed, we have got to
adjust ourselves to suit the times.
A great many of US have been
farming in a sort of halfway style.
We have had our cart in front of
the horse all the while. Now let's
stop and change about and get our
selves right and quit raising so
much cotton and get into the pro-
gressive style of diversified farm
ing.

In the finals OF the mixed doubles
in which Mrs. Patten and Alyah Scott
wrested the honors from Mrs. Martels

set By and 40 love. When 5 all was
reached the umpire called the games
on until the next day on account of
the darkness.
Coming to the courts next day Mrs

A surprise OF the tournament was
the defeat of Mrs. Patten and Mrs.

CHINESE SHUT
OUT OF CANADA

The Chinese baseball team won an.
other victory after leaving Grand
Rapids. Mich The game was played
at Detroit, and the Honolulu boys
proved their superiority on the dia,
mond, the score being 8 to In their
favor. Honolulu, however, lost quite
a bit of advertising when the Chinese
players found that they could not 60
over to Canada to fulfil their engage
ment, though all of them are Ameri-
can citizens.
The Detroit News of August rs has
this to say concerning the cancella-
ton of the game in Canada:
"Detroiters will get another chance
to see the Chinese baseball team in
action today. Owing to the fact that
the papers necessary to get the Ce-
lestials in and OUT of the country
have gone astray, the team can not
leave American soil and the game
scheduled with Sarnia tomorrow has
been Cancelled. The Honolulu stu
dents will remain here and play q re-
turn game with the s. & s. at Mack
Park"

INTERESTING POINTS MADEB BY ASHFORD AND
EXGOI CARTER ATFISHER HEARING YESTERDAY

Ashford: | think so. There are
many degrees of labor on the farm.
II mans health is breaking and he
is advancing in years, see no reason
why he should not keep himself busy
with some Of the lighter tasks of the
farm.
Fisher: II there are $4,000 acres of
cane land, we figure that the better
grades of that cane land are such as
to raise about so tons of cane to the
acre. Now, il you divided that land
up into 80 or 50-acre homesteads you
would only have 700 homesteading
families on the whole $4,000 acres.
IL we split ii up into 50-acre home
steads, as an average, what we would
get would be 700 farmers and their
families. There would be great
many more applicants for that land
than that. do you think we should
encourage men who are In bad health
or who are approaching old age to
cultivate these lands or fix the re-
quirements so that we would be more
apt to get the able-bodied farmer?
AIR. Ashford: do not know of any
physical qualifications in this regard
on the mainland The idea is to get
as much labor out of the people on
the land; still l do not sympathize
with the idea that all of the physical
labor should be performed by the
head of the family or by his sons or
daughters. -.t
Fisher: IL the homesteader himself
is real worker, you think it is
proper for him to do so; but if he
hires part of it performed, it is en-
tirely proper that he should be pro-
tected and encouraged to employ such
additional labor as to bring the home
stead up to the highest degree of cul-
tivation? But you do think that the
system should be such that the home
steader himself really be expected in
the ordinary cases to be a physical
worker on the ground? ..-.
Ashford: Yes, think so.
Fisher: Do you think that the
American farmer whom you think
would be a desirable addition will
not come here and engage continu-
ously in physical labor; that they
would soon become discouraged and
become mere absentee landlords as
far as their land is concerned? What
is his judgment in that respect?
Ashford: 1t has been claimed that
the white man can not work in the
