Georgia Man Has Worlds Only Terrapin Farm
Discovers How to Incubate the Diamond Back.
Alexander N. Barbee, of Sayan-
nah, Shows Government Experts
He Can Prevent Extinction,

SAVANNAH, July Sat Isle
OF Hope, a Savannah suburb, is the
only farm in the world where diamond
back terrapin are Matched and reared
by artificial means Alexander VI.
Barbee. proprietor Of this unique in
dustrv, has solved the problem OF
terrapin propagation. He claims to
hatch and rear more young terrapin
than the females themselves, because
the protection he gives the eggs and
young from the enemies Of the turtle
family He sells terrapin regularly
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 diecov-
cry was accidental but it 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-
nah. Thousands visit II annually.
Five hundred baby terrapin were sold
TO tourists as souvenirs last winter
There are more than 5000 terra pin
Guiding 5000 that have not reached
marketable age
The terrapin know Barbee's voice
and step. They win come at his
call and eat out Of his hand. but sour
ry 10 cover at the approach of a
stranger
Terrapin intended for the market
are kept segregated, and there Is a
special hospital pen, where sick ter
rapin are isolated from the we'll ones.
The loss by death is exceedingly
small The terrapin are sold by the
dozen and in barrel lotp through the
winter season.
Artificial incubation Of tarrapin
eggs heretofore has ben considered an
impossibility There are now 5 1000
eggs In the lncubators, and the lit
tie terra pin are coming out every
day There are 30 incubators on the
farm. Incubation In the hatcheries
occupies approximately II weeks
which is twice a long as is neces-
gary under natural conditions out
of the 5000 eggs IN the incubators
Barbee expects to raise $500 ter
rapin
Barbee started % years ago He
now is an expert and is acting in CO.
operation with fisheries experts at
Washington II is probable that the
Federal Government eventually will
adopt some Of his ideas with a view
TO restocking depleted streams aud
swamps along the Southeastern coast.

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 Sen
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, it 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-
nails already at St. Marys, and this Is
fact that it is thought will have
much weight With the commission if
Governor Slaton appoints one.

Change Is Planned
In Waycross Board
Membership Is To Be Increased
From Six to Seven If New
Bill Is 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
board s 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. If the act
passes, will have to maintain a repair
gang, to be on hand for hasty work
made necessary by storms.

BIGGEST MAN IN
NATION ISPRIDE
Of WAYCROSS
His Name Is W. 7. Brinson and
He Weighs 500 POunds-Is
Prominent Elk and Pthian.

WAYCROSS. June 2S.-Not a city
Of any State of the United States
has as a resident a man with the
two distinctions possessed by a Way
cross man-W. T. Brinson. First, he
is to-day the biggest living man in
the United States, if not in all Ameri-
ca. Second, he is the jolliest man IN
the United States.
incidentally, he enjoys also the dis
ttnction Of being the largest Elk in
the world, besides being the largest
Pythian in the world. He is a mem
Der of Elks' Lodge No. 800 Of Way
cross and Of Wakefield Lodge No.
q Knights of Pythias
Average Weight $50 Pounds.
Brinson's average weight is $50
pounds. He has passed the 500 mark
and has been 8 low as $50 pounds.
The man supposed to have been the
worlds largest man was reported 10
weigh only 565 pounds. and if this
record is authentic, Crimson heads the
list for the world so far as size
goes.
He is a turpentine operator and a
Crosstie dealer. He is interested in
real estate and farms, too and is as
active in looking after business as
any one. He has been successful,
too, and is always optimistic. When
1t comes to passing around jokes
he can hold his own with the best.
Takes Ride With Governor.
In recent years when so MANY
warm political campaigns have been
waged in Georgia and so many "joint
disputements" held here. Brinson
has met most of the big men Of
the State but he has yet to meet a
man who has anything on him, physi-
cally speaking. During one of his
visits TO Waycross Governor Joseph
NJ. Brown met Mr.. Crimson and ac-
cepted an invitation to take a drive
about WayCross. 1t is said that Gov
ernor Brown remarked at the time
of meeting Mr.. Crimson that he would
never dispute the fact that he was

took a snap shot of the Governor
and Mr.. Brinson seated together IN

tanned in each of the breeding pens
Barbee has only to turn this sand
over with his hands TO uncover the
eggs.
Follow 5arbee Like Dogs.
Barbee calls the terrapin with q
peculiar clucking sound They also
win respond to his whistle, crawling
over his feet and almost up his legs
to get at their food. They also will
come when he waves a handkerchief
Barbee once went into the pens wear
ing a new suit Of clothes and a new
pair Of shoes. His pets raced away
in panic Of fear
Barbee's dogs run about the farm
at will, carefully avoiding stepping on
the terrapin, which pay not the least
attention.
Barbee's particular favorite among
the terrapin is Toby Nobody knows
precisely how old Toby is. He was
among the first terrapin Barbee Sc
cured, and he was already an adult
when he first came to the farm. Toby
lives in fountain in the center Of
Barhee's restaurant The alhgators
grew up with Toby Toby is as gen
tie and docile as q dog When taken
out Of the water he follows Barbee
like a dog.
Barbee replenishes his stock With
hundreds of fresh terrapin every sum
mer. He furnishes nets to negroes
up and down the coast Of Georgia and
South Carolina who sell him their
catch at the market, Barbee makes
a round of his nets every two weeks

GEORGIA
To ASK SCHOOL
FOR 100 DEAF
Legislature viii Be Asked for Ap-
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 1852 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 IA 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 viii add twelve or fifteen
more to this number.
Last year the total enrolment at
the Cave Spring School was 1SS. 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. 1t 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 Tifton chairman, was
appointed to inquire into the need for
a school for the deaf in South Geor-
gia. Chairman Postell has called
meeting Of this committee in the Tiff
ton Chamber of Commerce rooms
Monday afternoon, July 7, 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.

SCHOOL BOARD REFUSES
TO VACATE ITS OFFICES

wAYCROSS, July 5.-Because the
county commissioners have given the
offices of the County Board of Edu-
cation TO Sheriff Pittman, due to
crowded conditions at the courthouse,
a lively scrap is in prospect when
the board meets next Tuesday. Coun-
VI superintendent J. r. Bourn has so
far failed to vaCate the office. That
an order ejecting the county board
from the courthouse will be issued
by the commissioners is probable.
This. it is said will be resisted. and
the outcome his awaited with interest.

white spots, known as safety spots. -
will be painted on the pavement at

Some time ago some of these white
spots were put on the pavement and
proved Of great assistance. In a rush
of traffic, the pedestrian seeks the

require all vehicles to pass around
There is no danger of any person stand
