Southern Cattle Raising,

In announcing the annual conVen'
ton of the Southern Cattlemen's AS
ISOLATION at Memphis, Tenn, Deem
her 10th, President j. A. Kieran
points out the advantages of cattle
raising in this section and important
needs in this direction. He says;
1.-THE Southern Cattlemen's Associ-
alton should be the one official CO.
operative organization, Through it
we should reach out for our common
needs. so as to place us even with the
breeders, feeders and shippers of live
stock all over the country. We want
good market facilities, reasonable
freight and feeding rates, good runs
and prompt delivery of our stock at
destination.
eve need many hundred pure-bred
bulls and an absence of the scrubs.
We need type, class and uniformity
in our cattle We want to breed
along consistent lines with the OBJ
ject in view of producing the most
profitable types Of cattle. We want
to produce for sale what the buyers
are looking for. They set the style
and we want to be able to furnish
them with baby beef, the twelve,
fourteen, sixteen or eighteen hun
dred pound steer, the feeders or the
stockers.
"If we are only to talk about the
advantages of raising cattle in the
Southern states and don't act what
difference is it to US whether there
is a scarcity of fifteen or twenty mil
lion cattle in the United States, or
that the price is $3.50 per hundred
weight or $3.50 per hundred live
weight. We must act and in unison. "

PLAIN LIVING AND THINKING.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
plain living and high thinking
belong to an age that is past and
gone" says the Macon Telegraph. 1t
is true that the double-penned log
house has been supplanted by the
white frame house with lightning
rods on it, and a pump stands near
the place where formerly the old
we'll stood, and perhaps an automo-
bile is in the garage, where formerly
a buggy was in barn.
1t is perhaps true that there isn't
a man among us who could take his
pen and introduce himself to the
people five centuries hence, as did
Shakespeare. We have no Shakes
peare, Socrates, no Epictetus, for
they were pioneers in the field of
their type. We need men who are
original and show genius in their ave-
nues. The world revealed in classic
literature for a few centuries, and
combatted new thoughts, but it be-
came necessary in time to develop
agriculture, industry, commerce and
government. The world has had its
mind on the subjects for the past
several centuries. AS a result the
race has made some progress under
this latter form of development than
it made in any other age. The people
of the world have been brought clos
er together, many prejudices have
been overcome, the masses are better
informed and there in more love in
the world.
plain thinking" if good hard
thinking is meant by the term, be-
longs as much to this age, we think,
as it did to the other age. We are
living fast and fancy, but we are
moving and thinking along different
lines.

SECURES FIRST CONVICTIONS.
White Man and Negro Sentenced to
Penitentiary for Arson.

AESOhs
ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia has just
secured her first convictions in arson
cases under the new law which Gre
ated the office of state fire inspector.
Captain w. r. Joiner, former fire
chief of Atlanta, who was made first
state inspector, has returned from
Jackson superior court, where he was
the prosecutor in an arson case in
that county. A white man and negro
were convicted, the white man draw
ing a sentence of five years and the
negro drawing a twelve-year sem
tence.
The law is proving a great protec-
ton everywhere, and is meeting with
the enthusiastic endorsement both OF
property owners and of fire insurance
companies. The Southern fire insur-
ance companies are approaching the
close of an unusually successful year.
The home companies in Georgia and
other Southern states are rapidly
forging to the front as among the
strongest in the country. With small
losses and the work of the fire in
spector becoming a terror to fire.
bugs the new state law is attracting
attention all over the union.
The cases in Jackson county will
be reported from Maine to California.
At the last session of the legislature
bill was passed providing for the
appointment of state fire inspector,
whose duty it is to investigate all
cases of fire where there is the least
suspicion of incendiarism. The in
spector enjoys the same privileges
and powers as are now delegated to
justices of the peace, and in all cases
he is empowered to hold inyestiga-
tions, subpoena witnesses, try the
cases and bind over to the higher
courts. The new law. while general
in its scope, is particularly valuable
to rural communities, where build
ings are isolated and fires difficult to
fight.

The Calamity HowIer.

PAY no attention to the prophets
of evil" was the recent declaration
of Secretary of Commerce Redfield,
in denouncing those unhappy and
harp!ng beings who see nothing but
bad times ahead of the country.
Explaining his definition of the
prophets of evil the secretary said
they are the calamity hOwlers who
have predicted that widespread in
dustrial disaster result from the en-
actment Of the new tariff law, Sec
rotary Redheld said that in his tour
of the country he had found splendid
commercial conditions, with every in
dication that the country would con-
tinue prosperous.
Secretary Redfeld finds the new
tariff schedule working very well in
deed. The big corporations continue
prosperous under it and there has
not been a single reduction in the
pay of a working man because of the
new tariff so far as Mr.. Redfeld has
been able to find out.
AS the Savannah Press takes occa
sion to say, the people are evidently
CARRYING out the ideas of the secre
tary and are paying no attention tt
the prophets of evil and as long al
they do this there is going to be con
tinued prosperity and good times.

AS walked through the woods one
day | witnessed a scene that filled
me with emotion. 1t was the tragedy
of a dying bird. Some thoughtless
sportsman, perhaps, had shot 1t,
though that is not certain; but it
was a mother-bird dying.
She sat on a limb not far from the
nest. The dropping wings, the sway
ing body, the fading eyes-these told
of death. With the instincts of moth
erhood she resisted the gathering
symptoms of dissolution. The bird
lets in the nest felt her presence, and
with distended necks and mouths
wide open chirped their call for food.
The mother heard, and the mother
instinct aroused her for a little. She
struck at a passing insect, which she
missed. In doing so she lost her bal
ance and fell, swinging below the
limb with her head down. A still I'M
opened leaf-bud caught her fading
eye and she struck at that, mistaking
it no doubt for some kind of an in
sect.
One foot released it's hold on the
limb. She swayed and turned as if
on a pivot just for little, when the
other relaxed. With a final, feeble
chirp the innocent bird gave up her
life, and went tumbling down to the
ground. The youngsters in the nest
heard the feeble call, and again set
up their cry for food; but alas, the
mother was beyond all power to re-
spond The body struck the ground,
there was little convulsive flutter,
and then she lay still-dead. The
life that God gave her was ended.
Her immature young in the nest
must suffer and die-starve, slowly
starve to death. One of Gods Great
ures, a CHEEKY, twittering song-bird,
whose warbling song had helped to
liven the solitude and to make life

By Mathew 4. Long in Our Dumb Animals.

| brighter all the day, had been wound
ed unto death.
She made her way back to the
home nest. With innate instinct she
knew her doom and that of heI
young. With a heartache that was
more intense than the pain of heI
broken boy she waited the end. The
suffering of her young was the source
of her anguish. But the end was at
hand. The record was made, the
book was sealed; and with that in
distinct and unexpressed and unde-
filed instructive feeling of trust in
the great Source of All Things, who
has told us men that not a sparrow
falls to the ground without His no
tice, she waited to die. She had no
book from which to read Gods prom
Uses, but her life had been in tune
with the higher laws of her being.
She had not spent her life in sin and
wrong-doing; there was no remorse,
nor fear of a judgment.
Still life was sweet to her. 1t was
hard to give up and die, and leave
her babies brides to starve. She
fought it off and resisted to the end !;
but, alas, the wound was too deep;
her brain whirled and she went
down, tumbling amid the branches
to the ground-and her bird spirit
took It's flight.
What a shame that people who call
themselves men will indulge in need
less, wanton destruction of innocent
creatures to whom God has given
life with it's emotions and pleasures!
Would that men could be brought to
see that gentle tenderness is an attri-
butte of the higher manhood, that
men could be made to realize the
suffering and the heartache of the
beings that they shoot to death for
no other purpose but to divert for q
moment their own heartless lives.

THE PENSION ROLL.
More Than One-Fifth of Men in Civil
War Still On the List.


According to the report Of the
commissioner of pensions more than
one-fifth of the men who served in
the army and navy of the United
States during the civil war were still
on the governments pension roll at
the beginning Of the present fiscal
year. On July LIST last there were
462,379 civil war pensioners. The
estimated number of individuals in
the United States army and navy
during the war was 2,213, 1865. Dur
ing the past year there was a de-
crease of 34,884 civil war pensioners,
while the net loss in the entire pen
sion roll was 4O,094, leaving $780,
200 pensioners of all classes. There
remain 1,142 Mexican war pension
ers and l ,O66 from Indian wars. The
last surviving pensioner of the War
OF 1912 died eight years ago, al
though 1919 widows of that wars
fighters still receive pensions, a de-
crease of SO since last year.

The Corn Club Work.

Some three thousand or more ex-
hibits are expected to make up the
1913 Georgia Corn Club show, which
will be held in the capital in Atlanta
from December 2 to 5. j. Phil Camp
bell, state agent in charge of this
work, believes that the number of
boys who have titled their acres Of
corn under club rules this year is at
least so per cent greater than it was
one year ago,
A semi-official estimate last year
stated that the increased corn yield
due to these clubs at an almost in
credible figure. This year the figure
will be increased perhaps by half, if
Mr.. Campbell's expectation is full
filled.
Constructive work like this is what
is building Georgia for a destiny
greater than could have been hoped
thirty or even fifteen years ago, says
the Atlanta Journal. The corn club
boys themselves add to the states
riches at once when they cultivate
their individual acres of ground. The
spirit of emulation which their ex-
ample stirs in older farmers adds so
much more. But the bigger results
are coming when the corn club boys
are men, and when they grow not one
acre, but many acres of corn, and
make each yield a bounteous harvest.
