EGG PRODUCTION ON
SCALE NEVER BEFORE
ATIEMPTEDPROPOSED
WILLIAM BARKER HAS NEARLY
5000 HENS ON TWO FARMS
NEAR CITY.
PLETHORA OF EGGS EXPECTED
Well Known Produce Dealer Is Con-
Quoting an Experiment of Huge
Proportion-ResuIts Will Be Vaiua.
BILE to Farmers of County.

Not only is William Barker one of
the largest dealers in eggs in this Sec
ton of the country but he bids fair
to achieve fame as one of the larg-
est producers Of eggs in Tennessee.
Mr.. Barker has twenty-one hundred
hens now on the farm of John B. Pad
gett near the city and from these
hens, when they begin to lay, he ex-
poets to reap rich reward Of fresh
eggs. He expects within the next few
days to add 500 hens to this collec-
ion, placing them on the farm of
Nolan Gartner, also near Columbia.
He will doubtless add further to the
lot until he will have a total Of 5000
hens in his possession. Assuming that
every hen will lay every day, and
what amateur poultry does not
make that assumption, Mr.. Barker
should have $50 dozen eggs day. At
thirty cents per dozen, less than they
are worth today, that would be a daily
income of SIS, or $525 per week, or
$2,250 per month, or-but 1t makes
one dizzy these figures do, especially
in these times Of war and trouble.
Anyway it does not require much cal
culation to see that Mr.. Barker is des-
tined to become the egg king of this
section.
Seriously, the genial poultry dealer
making an extensive experiment.
He is going to try on big scale and
by the latest and most scientific
methods of feeding and care to see
just what there is in the egg business
carried on as business. He Is hav-
ing the hens fed a mixed feed based
upon the most approved scientific
lines and is expecting that the har-
vest of eggs will begin within very
short time. His experience will
doubtless not only prove most profit
able to him but will be worth good
deal to his hundreds of customers all
lover the county, who will receive the
benefit of his advice and suggestions.

Mr.. Williams had gone to the office

ing examined. He had not been well

that he was suffering from liver

he went to the Anderson-Morton Gro
Gerry Co. to pay bill and was carried
from there to the Office of Dr. Mar
tin by Mr.. Webb. After being in the
chair for examination for some min
utes, he complained Of being unable to
get his breath. DR.. Martin gave him
some water to drink, but Mr. VIII
liams then began to say that his arm
was dead. He was lifted by DR.. Mar
tin and Mr.. Webb to a couch nearby,
where he died in about thirty minutes
after he suffered the apopletic stroke.
Meantime his wife and children had
been called by telephone and were
with him when the end came.
The body of Mr.. Williams was car
ried to the undertaking parlors OF
Cakes & Nichols, just across the

ial.
DR.. Martin, in speaking Of the death
of Mr.. Williams, said: Il had almost

Williams began to complain Of his
breath being short. was examining
his heart. He asked me what was
the matter and l frankly told him that
he had heart trouble. There was a
shortening of his breath, which was
not relieved by drinking some water.
He then complained of his hand being
dead. We took him from the chair
and laid him on the couch, where he
died in few minutes"
Mr.. Williams leaves a wife and
four children, three of which are girls,
and one a boy. He was the foreman
of the wrecking crew, which operated
from this point upon two railroads
He was an industrious, hard working
man, who was we'll known and liked
