$4,000 TERRAP IN
YEARS OUTPUT
BY BARBEE
Owner of Only Diamond Back
Farm Hopes to Break Record
for Unique Industry.

Ten thousand baby terrapin, little
diamond backed fellows who viii live
until next summer without a bite to
eat or a drop to drink. and then will
sell for from 81 to 81 each, have been
hatched this year on the only dia-
mond back terrapin farm in the world.
owned by A NJ Barbee, at Isle Of
Hope, near Savannah.
Before the first of January Mr.
Barbee expects 1000 more terrapin
10 be hatched. making a total Of r.
OO0 for the year.
Fourteen of the terrapin wer"
hatrhed in Atlanta at the Georgian
Terrace Hotel, during the past week,
while Mr.. Barbee was renewing old
acuuafntances and boosting his pecu-
liar business. He has gone to New
York. Philadelphia and Washington,
taking with him an incubator con-
tanning enough terra pin eggs to hatch
one terrapin a day until November l.
MIR. Barbees success in rearing the
diamond back terrapin by artificial
means has astounded the experts OF
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. When he first began
his artificial propagation Of the crea-
lures, Government experts said II
could not be done, 1t had been tried
before and failed.
Mr.. Rarbee. however. had raised
and studied the terrapin for more
than twenty years. and brought a
fund Of experience and knowledge into
the work. He now has $500 terrapin
ready for the market and almost 10
ooo that have not ye, reached mar
ketable size
Through MT Barbee's success IN
raising terra apin and his Willingness
10 share the secrets OF his plan with
others II is probable that the eI

which has threatened for several
years. will be prevented.
The farm in which he keeps his
rerrapin is $50 feet .ong by SO feet

Concerning the New
Tariff

All tariff acts are COM
pick and difficult to under
stand. 1t must be borne in
mind that the reduction in
tariff does not affect the
cost of the goods at first
hands, or the manufacture
ers'; neither does it lower
ocean and railroad freight,
insurance, boxing and cost
of service in purchasing
goods abroad.
There will be no Jug.
CLING here. Whatever the.
tariff actually takes off
shall be taken off of our
prices.
An instance is given in Wednes-
days big Linen Sale. in which we
offer $4,000 worth of the most de-
