Stanley Organization in Boyle.

The Danville supporters of Con-
gresham Stanley in his race for
United States Senator have organiz-
ed Stanley club and with a view to
organizing Boyle county for the Sec
ond district statesman will form
auxiliary clubs in every precinct.
Boyle county has been claimed for
Beckhsm because Representative E.
w. Lillard was one of the Democrats
who voted for w. o. Bradley for
United States Senator in the memoir
able 1907 session Of the Legislature.
but the Stanley adherents confidently
claim that they will carry it for the
Second district man. The fact that
Boyle county is in Gov. McCreary's
congressional district will no doubt
make it a battle ground in the
senatorial race.-Times.

NO LONGER NEEDED
May 16 Designated as Rooster
Day In Kentucky and
Tennessee.

In the interest of the infertile egg
the poultry specialists have started
a campaign for the elimination of
the rooster among poultry focks
during the seasons between May l
and December 1. In this connection
Saturday, May l6, has been set aside
by the people of those States as
rooster day in Kentucky and Tennes-
see, when every poultry dealer in
these States has agreed to pay the
same price for roosters as they do
for hens and pullets. There is an
enormous loss in eggs as the result
of the fertile egg, especially during
the summer and fall months, and it
is for this reason the department
recommends that the rooster be kept
away from the hens during these
seasons.
Fertile eggs spoil very quickly
when subjected to the ordinary
methods of handling on the farm and
when marketed during the hot sum-
mer months under adverse condi-
tions. Infertile eggs will keep in
good condition in temperatures which
will cause fertile eggs to rot.
1t is estimated that one-third of
the tremendous annual loss of eggs
is due to the fertile egg.
The department specialists advise
that on the LIST of May all male birds
be either killed, sold, or confined un-
til the 1st of December, or as late as
the 1st of January in some localities,
inasmuch as it is not necessary to
the laying qualities of hen that a
rooster be maintained in the flock.
Moreover, his presence during those
months means fertile eggs, which
mean bad eggs and the consequent
loss to the producer and the con-
sumer.

Best Work After so.
Toledo Blade. }

One gets tired of hearing that this
ia young mans age" 1t is not.
Young men do great work nowadays
and always have and always will.
But one does not often see them at
the head of the financial or edu.
cational or literary world. After So
called middle age" most of the
worlds great men have done their
best work. Here are one or two in
stances: Darwin, author of "Origin
of Species" written at the age of so
years. Emmanuel Kant, writer of
C'itique of Pure Reason" at the age
of 81. Herbert Spencer made a
rough outline of his Synthetic
Philosophy" when 40 years old;
Principles of Psychology" when So
years old, and Justice" at II years,
Richard Wagner accomplished
more after the age of so than before.
The entire" "NiebulunRen Ring" ap-
peared when he was 60 years old, and
"Parsifal" was written when he was
GA years old. Haydn composed The
Creation" at 81 years of age, and
THE Seasons" some years later.
Christopher Columbus was Sc years
old when he discovered America
Goethe did most of his literary work
after he had reached 65 years. Prob
ably his greatest work was Faust"
the second part of which was writ
ten when he was 80 years old. Among
others who did brilliant work be-
tween the ages of 40 and 70 we're
Humboldt, Lord Kelvin, Faraday, and
John Fiske. AS an example of won
derful physical ability there is none
who is better fitted to be ranked
among the greatest of Americans
than the aged pedestrain. Edward
Payson Weston, who has scored
most of his wonderful walking re-
cords since he was so.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1914-02-03

Under every change of dynasty
and every form of government Da-
mascus has retained its prosperity.
Its caravan trade with Bagdad and
the east, Egypt and the Levant, has
been famed for unnumbered centu-
ries. The annual pilgrimage to Nee
ca at one time consisted of 10000
persons, but this route has declined
somewhat in favor of the Red sea
approach. Plundering brigands and
heavy Turkish taxation have been re-
sponsible for a serious decline in
trade in recent years. But the sur
rounding country is wondrously fer
tile, the situation of the city with re-
gard to the trade routes gives it ex
ceptional advantage and an early re-
vival of it's former commerce and in
dustries is expected. Damascus has
outlived Babylon and Nineveh and
may yet see the finish of New York
and London.

again the story of the dash for
freedom of three convicts in the Ok

lives, including their own, paid for
their effort to gain liberty. Their
desperation and the fact that they
were wildly cheered by other pris'
oners show what sort Of men are fire.

To such men restraint is the worst
punishment, says our Savannah con-
temporary insufficient food, hard
beds, rigorous discipline, enforced 81
lence are but incidents. Even in
the free world they might have little
to eat and be compelled to sleep on
the bare ground or on a board. 1t
is the fact that they are locked up,
that they can't go and come as they
please that makes their punishment
felt.
1t is we'll to make imprisonment
as easy as is advisable, but it cannot
be made, for most men, a thing to
DE desired or even to be endured for
any longer than is necessary. Even
the trusty whose imprisonment is
hardly more than nominal feels the

man at times chafes under the neces-
sity Of reporting his whereabouts at

for their escape and are willing to

in their way, and willing to shield
themselves with even the body Of a
girl, as did the Oklahoma despera-

The Revival of Business.

1t is a subject of frequent mention
that the iron and steel industry acts

in their turn are dependent on condi-
lions obtaining in host of industries
which have no apparent connection

pouring into the mills of the Pitts
burg district, which, it is declared,
will be running at their full capacity
within ninety days, will be welcomed
by the country generally. 1t denotes
not only that the disquieting world

year of unrest in finance, trade and

has now practically passed away and,
fortunately, its passing coincide"
with the beginning of period of cas-
Ter money.
A general feeling of optimism 4

good times is freely predicted. The
note of pessimism is agreeably lack

WHY NOT MAKE A MARKET?
Fror- the Perry Home Journal.

Fror the Perry Home Journal.
The 1T corn club boys of Car
roll county produced a total Of
6,608 bushels of corn at an ex-
pense of 81, 403 for labor and fer
tilizers. At $1.00 bushel the net
profit is $1,000. The greatest
drawback to raising corn as mon
ey crop in Georgia is that there is
no market for it.-DaWson News.
1t is entirely the fault of the farm
ers of Georgia that there is no mar
ket for their corn. They have made
no business-like effort to make a
market for it.
Not only the mills, but the whole
sale merchants and all others who
use corn would be glad to buy the
Georgia product were it offered for
sale in sufficient quantity and in
merchantable condition.
Whenever a business man desires
a product he seeks it where he is
satisfied he can secure it in quantity,
quality and shape desired.
The farmers Of Georgia can sell
all the corn they produce when they
offer it as the market demands it.
Millions Of bushels of Western
corn are annually sold in Georgia.
Our farmers can displace the foreign
corn in the Georgia market if they
will. However, the best market for
Georgia corn is in feeding it to hogs
and cattle.

IN THE BOIL WEEvIL SECTION

w. F. Massey in Progressive Farmer.
BOIL weevil has us; useless to
plant cotton. What do you think of
Spanish peanuts as money crop in
place of cotton?'
| think that while you may grow
peanuts you do not want anything
lin the place of cotton" In the sec
lions where the boil weevil has been
longest they have found that they
can still grow cotton if they practice
a good rotation of crops and farm
well. OF course, all cotton, and ev-
cry year cotton on the same land, is
out of the question, and if the boil
weevil will only force good farming
it will be a blessing in disguise.
Farmers make money at farming
when they farm well in parts of the
country where cotton has never been
grown, and farmers in the South can
do it if they farm we'll. Stick to cot
ton, fight the weevil, rotate crops,
grow feed for stock, improve the land
by the use of legumes and after lit
tie while you will get over the scare.

A Splendid Beginning.

The organization of a commercial
club to include all of Terrell county
is a movement that has long been
needed, and should meet with the
encouragement and support of every
citizen who is interested in the deyel-
opment and prosperity of his county
and the several fourishing towns and
communities that have done much to
make it already one of the best coun-
ties in the best section of the best
state of the best nation.
There is much that well or
ganized board of trade, one that is
alive to it's possibilities, can do, and
business men and agricultural and
professional men should enlist with
the Terrell County Chamber of Com
merce and give aid to and have a
part in the material development Of
their own section; become commu-
nifty builders.
Much is expected of the new or
ganization in the way of constructive
work, and The News congratulates
the splendid body of men who are
behind it and pledges them every as
sistance in it's power.
