LOCKHART, A LITTLE KINGDOM IN ITSELF

ing one Of the finest and best kept
milling towns located anywhere in the
South.
The mills of the Jackson Lumber
Company provide public labor enough
for all; the company maintains "A
splendid school for the children of the
mill people, and a handsome Union"
church, where the pastor Of any flock
is more than welcome TO come and
conduct services.
The colored quarters are we'll or to
themselves, the stores have a thriving
appearance, and the whole town has
an atmosphere Of extreme we'll being.
which makes Lockhart likely pace a.

One of the features which will in
terest you at Lockhart is the finest
chicken farm, probably, in Alabama or
Florida, the Lakeview Poultry Farm,
valued at $4,000 and with $4,000 in
vested in blooded chickens, TndiSp

1000 men, Is the fourty expert

The activity at the large test farm

favorably impress the stranger.
Lockhart and Florala are but a. mile

HOLLY HOUSE
RELIC Of DAYS
BEFORE THE WAR
WRECK OF WHAT, FOR YEARS,
WAS ONE OF CONVICTION coUN-
TVS FINEST HOTELS, HOLDS A
SENTIMENTAL INTEREST IN
THE HEARTS OF ALL ANDA-
LUSIANS. -.

The oldest land mark in Andalusia
to-day is the fast decaying building To-
Gated on Three Notch street which, in
PALMER days, was known as the Holly
Hotel" and which was built in the
year of 184S by. Aft Holly, afterward
proprietor of the hotel which he had
the enterprise to establish.
Although the Holly House was only
an ordinary two-story frame building,
it was reckoned as quite an edifice
tality was to be had under it's roof by
the chance guest that came to town,
either to sell his cotton, or to buy
stores for the weeks &c elapse be-
fore he finally came to town" again.
1t was at the Holly House that the
flower of AndaluSia's young manhood
gathered, breakfasted, and marched
away 10 war one morning, away back
III the days of 81, and it is for this
mental interest still lives in the hearts
of Andalusia people regarding it.
No one, of course, lives there now.
The blinds hang idly on their rusted
hinges, and the second story gallery
has long since broken through.
The weather beaten boards have
been bereft of paint these many years,
but there would probably be raised
hue and cry in Andalusia if the wreck

ton began by budding and grating.
This has brought a new era in pecan
growing. Instead of growing seeding
nuts to sell at eight to fifteen cents per
pound, they are now produced just as
easily that bring from twenty-five to
fifty cents per pound; and instead of
depending on the uncertainties of seed
ling trees, a crop can be counted on as
regularly as from the best peach or
apple orchards Furthermore it was
known that Seeding pecan trees might
come into bearing in from six to eight
years, or it might be twenty-five years
before they bore a nut. 1t is not SO
with the budded trees. Well cared for,
they begin to bear in from four to
six years after setting, and usually
come into profitable bearing in from
nine to ten years. The long life of the
pecan is another feature in its favor.
Among the wild pecan forests of Texas
and Mexico, there have been trees
bearing abundant crops, which, when
cut down, were shown by their rings
to be from two hundred to four hun
dred years old. And still further, 1t
was discovered that when pecan trees
were carried from their natural habi
tat in the alluvial bottoms to the cul-
tivated highlands, they did not suffer
in the least in those qualities that go
to make them successful orchard trees.

Andalusia- 'The Biggest
Little City in Alabama"

Andalusia, the capital of Covington
county, state of Alabama, bears a
Spanish name from the famous city of
he same name in Spain, and was
'ounded in 1850. three years after
Montgomery, the state capital.
Within sixty miles of the Gulf of
Mexico we enjoy the gulf breezes. No
cold or warm winds reach this section
until they have been tempered and
ozone-laden in their passage over
miles of salt water. Extremes of heat
and cold are unknown.
Average mean winter temperature is
fifty degrees, and during the year 1912
temperature went below thirty but
two times. Average mean summer
temperature is about eighty degrees,
gone above nfnety-six A prostation

1usia, and so far as we know, never
IN Alabama. Annual railfall averages
81 inches, nearly all summer. ABB

Population.
Andalusia was nothing more than
I small country village until fourteen
years ago, when the Central of Geor-
yia and Louisville & Nashville railroad
companies extended their tracks into
he town.
From that time Andalusia has grown
steadily.
The last census, 1910, included but
| restricted area, showed a gain over
he previous ten years of more than
200 per cent, and a conservative esti-
nate of the present population places
he figure at 500.
The little city radiates from a com
non center; the court house square,
and five, wide, well kept thorough
fares lead out the different sections
IF the city.
Water Supply.
Andalusia has a complete system of
water works. The water is obtained
from an artesian well. This magnifi-
cent supply of fresh. sparkling artes-
Ian water is distributed through sew
sraI miles of water mains to the diff
terent parts of the city.
Streets.
Andalusia has recently begun work
10 complete several miles of good,
vide, cement sidewalks. Also there is

in 1912. Quite a number Of trees in
this orchard bloomed at the same time
but only one of them held and ripened
fruit. These trees when set in 1910,
were one year old CRAFTS three to four
feet high. Now many of them are nine
to ten feet high and some of them
even higher.
There are pecan trees in F1orala
which are about Is years old and for
the past eight years have paid any
where from $14.00 to $1,000 per tree,
notwithstanding the fact that these
trees are only about 20 feet apart each
way. Had they had more distance, so
that they could have spread, the nut
crop and money value would have
been much greater.
Another tree, in Walton county, Fla,
not far from Florala, that is about IA
pounds of nuts in one year and brought
over $500 for the nuts. They were
sold at about IL cents r pound
The growth of the pecan industry is
most forcibly pictured IN the following

of the National Nut Growers Associa-
ton, of Cairo, Ca, before the Southern
Commercial Congress at its meeting in
Nashville, Tenn, April 10, 1912.

BIG TEST FARM
is SUCCESSFUL
FINE FoURTY ACRES OF LAND
SCIENTIFICALLY CONDUCTED
BY THE CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
RAILROAD BETWEEN LOCK-
HART AND FLoRALA.

Last year the Central OF Georgia
railroad established a fourty test
farm, along the right of-way Of that
company, between Lockhart and Flo
rala.
C. B. Chastain, agrlculturaIst for
the company, directed the work, being
still in charge, and some Of the re-
suits obtained have been interesting
to hundreds Of farmers of the Fl0rala
section Of Covington county, who have
come to investigate, and TO watch, at
first hand, the processes employed by
scientific farming.
The crops Of corn, cotton, sugar Gaze.
peas and potatoes were fully up to eX-
pectations, and about ten acres OF the
land which was planted in cotton pro-
duced varied yield, as the land was
treated with various degrees OF fer
tilization.
Some Of this cotton, in fact, was
grown with no fertilizer used at all,
and the entire yield Of the ten acres in
question was 3,7S7 pounds of lint cotton
al in the way, Of course. of expert
ment.
Corn yielded so bushels to the acre,
but would have done a great deal bet
ter, had the crop not been the VIC
tim of an unusually bad run Of luck"
Cover crops, rye, burr clover, and
Vetch have been planted this year. and
this experimental station is one Of un-
told value TO the farmers OF COvingtOn
county as a whole.
The possibilities Of the land are laid
forth with compelling force and by
practical demonstration; ideas are de-
veloped and plain tests made and
placed clearly before all who will come
and investigate.
This an opportunity which is laid n
the very door of the farmers Of tho
F'lorsla section for the asking and one
which, too, Is being fully appreciated
by the more successful and prosperous
type of farmers.

ALABAMA A
BOON FOR THE F1ONIESEEKER
SOME INTERESTING AND CON-
elusive FACTS OF VALUE TO
THE PROSPECTIVE SETTLER.
COMPILED BY THE ATLANTIC
COAST r. r. LINE.

The lands in Southeast A.aba ma are
| rolling, affording ample drainage, well
| watered by never failing springs and
streams, and for diversified farming
and stock raising, they are worthy of
| careful inspection by homeseellers.
The soil is clay and sandy loan,
with clay sub-soil. Clay soils are used
for the heavier growing crops, while
the sand loan lands, are ideal for
fruits of all kinds, melons and truck
ing.
In timber. the pine predomina ties.
but quite extensive bodies of various
hardwoods are found.
The counties through which the At
lantic Coast Line passes have thriv-
ing cities, towns and villages of high
and exceptional advantages for intend
ing settlers
Cotton is the leading money crop.
The territory as described markets an
This. crop with the cotton seed and it's
products is worth gross. to the pro-
ducers, fifteen millions Of dollars.
While corn, hay and oats are not
grown largely as money crop, every
good farmer ha-vests enough for home
use and some to spare. The produc-
tions of these crops in the state for
1910 were:
Corn ........ 63,432, 600 bushels
Oats ............ 5,494, 900 bushels
Hay -........... $4,000 bushels
Competent authorities pronounce this
territory an ideal one for the produc-
ing of peaches, pears and plums, of
the highest type, equaling in quantity
and quality the best grown IN any
other section fthe United States.
In the past three years many large
orchards have been planted, and these
fruits can be placed in the markets in
condition to realize the highest prices.
Other Possibilities.
The melons of Ala bama are justly
celebrated for quality. The lands pro-
duce the quantity, and melons should
be a large money crop for this sec
ton.
Truck growing is not carried on to
the extent it should be. The lands,
soil and climate are everything that
can be desired to make this a great
and profitable trucking section.
Alabama syrup, made from the pure
juice of sugar cane is equal to the
best, and instead of small patches
of cane, our farmers should grow fields
of it. With the yield and price re-
ceived 70 rthe syrup, the growing of
sugar cane is far more profitable than
growing many other standard crops.
With the fine native grasses, and
various forage crops grown, the i'm
portal ton of the best blooded stock OBJ
tainable, stock raising is fast becom-
ing a leading industry. No expert
enced stockman need fear a failure.
To those who live in a land where
you have a very late spring, an early
fall and a long cold winter, Alabama
offers her fertile lands. exceptional
school and church facilities, and a
climate that will permit you to work
out of doors the year round.

HOME RULE LOST FOR
WASHINGTON CITIES
Small Counties Refuse to Grant Large
Places RIGHT TO Make Charters.

O@A--@
Olympia. Wash, Feb. 21.-Home
rule for Washington cities was knock
ed in the head by the state senate
by vote of 20 to 10. Two bills, one
giving cities of the first class the right
to make their own charters, and an
other giving cities of $4,000 or more
population the right to control pub
lie service corporations within such
cities, were indefinitely postponed.
The vote demonstrated the strength
of the smaller counties as compared
to the larger counties vote. The ques-
ton stirred up lively discussion.
A memorial was received from the
Oregon legislature asking the Wash
ington body not to enact a bill to pro-
hibit the interstate transmission OF
water and power. The measure was
occasioned by bill which is now be-
fore both houses here aimed directly
at the Northwestern Electric COM
pany of Portland.
A communication was received from
the Idaho legislature stating that 1t
was understood that the Washington
assembly sought to have horse racing
done away with in Idaho so that 1t
could be taken up in Washington.
The senate Immediately took a vote
upon the question. and every member
pledged himself against horse-racing
in the state. Washington recently
asked the Idaho legislature to stop
the horseracing near Spokane.
The house killed bill, passed by
the senate. prohibiting the sale OF
firearms in this state without a per-
NIT from a judge of a superior court.
The senate will take up the question
of a minimum wage for women and
the house will consider the anti-cap-
ital punishment bill.
On the unanimous instruction Of
the state senate, Northumberland
Hart telegraphed the Idaho legisla-
ture a denial of the rumor that pas
sage of an Idaho law forbidding race
track gambling would be followed by
an act of the Washington legislature
authorizing such gambling. A fight
is being made in Idaho to close the
Alan race track. which is near the
Washington boundary and which is
supported chiefly by Spokane. Strong
feeling against the track exists in
