BROOKS COUNTY A LEADER

There were no doubling Thomases
"a leave Ouitman after the recent
animal husbandry conventions held
there. Those who may have gone
to Brooks county doubling that the
county was as thoroughly live and
wideawake az had been advertised
must have gone away with the con-
viction that Brooks county Is back
ing up with ample proof every
claim that is being made in behalf
Of its unusual enterprise and re-
sources.
II was well that 50 many Lee
county citizens were numbered
among those who made the trip to
Quitman and had ample opportuni-
" to see Brooks county on parade.
The Lee county party came back
singing the praises Of the people d
that part Of the state, for Quitman
and the Brooks county people are
not to be outdone in any way, sure
" not in regard to the oldfashioned
Southern hospitality, which was
everywhere in evidence.
If some tangible Improvements
do not accrue to the people Of Lee
county as the result Of the journey
made to Quitman by the represen-
tatiyes Of the county who attended
the convention, we shall be greatly
disappointed. In fact, it is not ex-
pecting too much for the people moi
only Of this county but also o.
every county represented at the
convention to gain some practical
aid from the Quitman gathering
That was what the convention was
held for. and it was made as help
full and stimulating as the most
progressive and modern publicity
could make it.
We congratulate the people Of
Brooks county on the exceptional
success that attended the recent
convention. 1T has served 10 help
that county and every county in
the state. Probably the eaterpris-
ing citizens Of Brooks may decide
10 make it an annual event in the
onward march Of Gcorgia's pro-
gress.

SOME RANDOM NOTES ON
The QUITMAN CONVENTION
Gathered On The Way By One Who Enjoyed The BIG
Meeting

resist boiled Brooks county ham,?
THE entire court house square
was turned over to the enter
tainment Of the visitors. z h e
square was tlronged throughout the
day, for orders bad been given to
commence serving the cats just
as soon as any body asked for them.
Ii feel confident that not q single
one lacked dinner.
Judge William II. Long, Of the
ICity Court OF Quitman, was host
for the Lee county party. Judge
Long took the members q the party
in charge upon their arrival and IN
troduced them to all the good
things in the way of dinner that
could be desired. All the boiled
ham and other good things that the
court house square afforded was at
the command of the party, With
Judge Long at their head The Lee
county party was proud Of Judge
Long, who met his father among
the members who went down from.
TeesbUrg
Another thing Of interest which /
was about to overlook is the l25-
acre field pr peanuts which we saw
below Albany. That field q pea
nuts will serve to give the true and
much desired flavor 70 many q
piece Of bacon and many a ham
this autumn when the nuts are ripe.
AS is generally known, the peanut
I is the secret Of the remarkable
flavor that is given to Brooks coun-
ty meats. The peanut is used only
in part Of this, but the Brooks
county farmers have learned how
to use peanuts to the best adgan-
tage. The hogs are in good shape
before they arc allowed to run on
the peanut field. After they have
been fed Oh peanuts for a time they
\
are placed again on the original
diet So as to keep ttenteat from
having an excess Of the peanut oil
present. But Lee county farmers
are going to learn ghaL trick very
soon, too. Let us hope that it may
be very soon. indeed.

ANOTHER GOOD SIGN

At the recent meeting OF the
bankers Of Georgia in Savannah
there seemed to be no fear shown
that the bankers Of tie state would
not be able to grapple successfully
with any problem that war con-
ditions may cause. The temper Of
the bankers was uniformly optimis-
tfc and hopeful. There is, o.
should be, cause for better feeling
among the farmers Of the state on
account Of the optimism Of the
bankers.
In discussing further the spirit
Of the bankers the Savannah News
has the following comment:
The feeling among the bankers Of
Georgia as disclosed in the speech
es al the group dinners on Thurs
day night is one Of optimism They
lare supremely thankful that they
came through the menacing period
that followed the outbreak of the
European war so we'll, they are con-
fdent Of their ability 10 weather
any other financial storm that IS
likely to develop out Of war coaf
ditions and they are unanimously
in favor of standing together id
whatever movements are inaugnr+
ated for upbuilding the state and
the development If her resources.
AS a matter Of fact they do not
look for further financial troubles
due to The war. In then view theI
worst is over. To them the futureI
is full Of promise. The majority
opinion among them is that theI
country is soon to enter upon Al
period Of great prosperity aud they
see no reason why the South, and
particularly Georgia, shouldn't
share in the prosperity.
And it is because they are expect
ing good times that they urge every
body to lend a helping hand in the
work Of diversifYing and improvingE
the crops OF the state and eneourag 4
ing the establishment of industries
There isn't one 81 them that does
MT believe that Georgia IS as good a 4
state as any other, if not better,
that her resources are only begin {

BURFORD WILL

George c. Burford. ex-omcio forest ranger, 6ronghter dispatch runner and man.in.waiting to the volunteers who routed 8 group of fires which this week threatened to destroy a number of homes along the salmon creek road. mile from Juneau, al- most was "outp @ few silver shekels.
 When the fires broke out Tuesday night Mir. Burford. who had been using his car to carry supplies to the government rangers fighting fires near Knudson's. hired number of men and himself directed the battle with Che flames. Yesterday he was told that because tue fires were with in five miles of town, the forest ser vice rules prohibited the payment of wages to the men employed. Hef had guaranteed the pay of the men he employed. and made good his prom iso by drawing personal checks for the amounts. The United States land office. which has an emergency fund to pay fre-hghters for labor within the smile limit, found that the fund had run low, and further, that no authorization to hire men had come from the commissioner of the general land office as required under the rules and regulations.
 However. a cablegram was sent to Washington, explaining the situation, and Mir. Burford is to be reimbursed.
