ASK EXTENSION
Of STATE ROAD
VIA WAYCROSS
Several Counties Organizing to
Push Senator Sweat's Scheme
for Lengthening Line.

wAYCROsS, July 5.-Several
counties are discussing the organiza
ton of an association for the purpose
Of promoting the suggested route for
the State railroad extension via Fort
Valley and Waycross to St Marys
and Jacksonville.
Right Of way through nearly all
counties named by Judge Sweat in
his resolution before the Georgia Sem
ate will be given to the State, and
some counties have gone further and
agreed to use their convicts in build
ing the roadbed. This, il is argued,
will materially reduce the cost.
Waycross for a number of years
has hoped for the extension. Because
Of the low cost Of constructing a
road along what is known as the
ridge route of Georgia which would
bring the road via Waycross, the ter
ritory traversed is among that in the
State undergoing most rapid develop
ment. The State owns vast termi-
mails already at st. Marys, and this Is
a fact that it is thought will have
much weight with the commission If
Governor Slaton appoints one.

Georgia Man Has Worlds Only Terrapin Farm
Discovers How to Incubate the Diamond Back
Alexander N. Barbee, Of Savan-

He Can Prevent Extinction,

SAVANNAH, July Sat Isle
Of Hope. a Savannah suburb. is the
only farm in the world where diamond

terrapin propagation. He claims to

young from the enemies of the turtle

10 hotels and restaurants Of the larger
cities.
Barbee now has a business that
brings him a handsome income. He
has done what experts at Washing
ton failed TO do. He has hit upon a
method Of incubation. His dicov-
cry was accidental but 1t probably
means the prevention Of the ex
tinction OF the diamond back terra
pin
The terrapin farm at Isle Of Hope
is one Of the show places Of Savan-

There are more than 5000 terrapin

Change Is Planned
In WaycrOSS Board
Membership Is To Be Increased
From Six to Seven If New
Bill ls Passed.

wAYCROSS, July Sit looks as if
the Ware County Board Of Commission
ers will continue in politics, despite the
efforts made at last years session OF
the Legislature to get the board out OF
politics. The proposed changes in the
act creating the board removes from
the Grand Jury the privilege Of select
ing the commissioners and puts the
boards election back TO the people.
The number on the board is to be
increased from six to seven, four to
come from the Waycross district and
three from country districts. The
chairman, instead of having to be one
of the Waycross commissioners, is to
be elected by the board regardless of
his place Of residence.
A feature of the change as now ad-
vocated is the creation of a board Of
Information consisting of one mem
Der from each Of the ten districts in
Ware County This board is to. make
recommendations for road work and
construction. The board, il the act
passes. will have to maintain a repair
gang, to be on hand for hasty work

SOUTH GEORGIA
To ASK SCHOOL,
FOR 100 DEAF
Legislature Will Be Asked for APP
preparation to Establish Branch
of Cave Spring Institution.

Triton. July 5.-The urgent need
for a school for the deaf in South
Georgia is demonstrated by the sta
tistics furnished by the State school
census, which shows that of 362 deaf
children in the State, 1873 are in South
Georgia. There are approximately $50
deaf children in South Georgia who
are not attending school.
According to State Superintendent
Of Schools NJ. L, Britain the statis-
tics furnished by the State school cen
sus taken in May are complete ex-
cept for four counties and twelve To-
cal systems. where the enumerations
must be made again. In 144 coun-
ties there are 202 white and 124 COL
ored deaf children. OF these 102 white
and 81 colored are in South Georgia.
The counties and local systems not
enumerated will add twelve or fifteen
more to this number
Last year the total enrolment at
the Cave Spring School was 1873. OF
this number less than fifty were from
South Georgia, leaving approximately
$50 deaf children in South Georgia
to whom the liberal appropriation
for the institute at Cave Spring is
practically worthless. It is to rem
edy this that the Legislature will be
asked to pass a bill to establish a
branch school in South Georgia.
At a meeting held in Triton last
March an executive committee with
r. c. Postell of Triton, chairman, was
appointed to inquire into the need for
a school for the deaf in South Geor-
gia. Chairman Postell has called a
meeting Of this committee in the Tiff
ton Chamber of Commerce rooms
Monday afternoon July I, at o'clock.
The purpose Of the meeting is to
frame a bill providing for the es-
adjustment of such a school and to
arrange for its introduction.
