The following story of the prize
winners work among the Sumter co IN
ty girls canning club will be of much
interest:
In 1912 a scholarship was given b.
the civic department of the State
Federation of Women's clubs to the
State College of Agriculture for the
best record in canning club work in
the state of Georgia. My one-tenlh
acre produced 31,00 pounds of toma-
toes, of which 1 canned 700 three
pound cans, with a profit of seventy
two dollars. This being the best re-
cord in the state gave the scholarship
to me. l feel so thankful and want 70
show how much appreciate the kind
ness shown me by all who were the
means of getting the short course.
This being the first course ever
offered for girls in the state conferred
a great honor and gives us an oppor-
tunity of being the bearer of good
tidings to those not so fortunate. And
/ hope this will not be the last chance.
but that another year many others may
have the same great opportunity.
The college is one of the best in
the state and is doing things that
will in the near future bless not only
our own state, but others as well. We
we're given free access to everything
within the bounds of the college, and
could enjoy the library, see the horses,
cattle, live stock in general, and the
experiments of every kind. All this
gees to show that we were warmly
welcomed.
Our work embraced everything OF
greatest interest in the farm and home
life. Special lessons were given in
poultry, cooking, horticulture and
dairying.
Prof. Jones, who had charge of the
poultry department, lectured us very
forcefully on the Importance Of bet
ter poultry, therefore leading us to
take deeper interest, teaching us the
management of the different incub l.
tors and brooders, the testing of eggs

Only Few Days

Mr.. Thomas NJ Cobb, aged sixty
four years, a native and lifelong resi-
dent of Americus, died at an early
hour Monday morning at his home
here. Mr.. Cobb had been i'll but few
days and the announcement of his
death came as shock to his many
friends, among whom he was held in
high esteem.
While confined to his room, Mr..
Cobb's condition was not considered se-
rious. and Sunday evening he con-
versed pleasantly with members OF
his family Shortly before midnight
he dropped into a quiet sleep, from
which he never awoke. His death, it is
thought, resulted from an apoplectie
stroke which came upon him during
the night.
Mr. Cobb was reared in Americas
and was well known to all here For
many years he served In the police de-
partment holding the position of lieu
tenant, but in recent years had been
engaged in other business. OF affa-
Bile disposition, he made many friends.
and his death will be very generally
regretted.

Third district the same counties that
formerly comprised the district, in
stead of those nich now make it up
as was shown by the changes made in
the list of counties when the Twelfth
district was formed.

Much 10 wrrren and Said, put Really
Scientists Admit They Are Crop

There are few subjects on which sc
much scientific nonsense is talked
and written as on heredity. Not very
much is known of it as regards plants
less of animals, and almost nothing as
regards humanity. To read books Oh
heredity, especially those Of the Eu
genie Society, is to read mass OF
suppositions and hazardous inductions
where most of the facts are negative
and only tho exceptions are positive.
The very meaning Of hereditary" is
not understood. If any quality is truly
hereditary, then it is always heredi
tary. 1t never occurs except as the re
suit of heredity, and 1t is constant
that is to say it invariably follows
But there is no quality of which th;r
can be said. That genius is not heYs
ditary is known. Even talent is not
Nor is any aptitude. A lawyers sor
more often wants to be soldier or sr
artist than a lawyer, notwithstanding
the environment, and it is SO with
most professions. The exceptions
seem to be due to training and in
fiuence, not to plain hereditary trans
mission.
A superficial likeness to parents
seems hereditary, but that is all thai
we can assert. and that outward like
ness by no means infers an inward
likeness. There is nothing SO easy
and nothing SO fatal as this tendenc,
to attribute to heredity what is due
to training or want Of training. i
