Two Million Pigs.

Georgia's progress in the production of food
stufs is attested strikngly by a recent report of
the federal bureau of crop statistics showing that
there are now in this State than two million
pigs with an aggregate value of some sixteen mil
lion dollars.
These figures interesting alike a record
and forecast. They reflect the broader and wiser
system of farming to which Georgia has turned
particularly during the last year or two. The in
crease in the number of food animals would not
have been possible had it not been for the in
creased acreage OF corn, peas and kindred crops
In breaking away from the cotton tyranny, our
planters have begun the foundation of profitable
animal industries.
AS this tendency develops, its results will be-
come more and more enriehing. Already the in
creased number of swine has given rise packing
houses in several cities of the State. Thus a new
field of investment and employment has opened,
new springs of enterprise have been released. In
the course of time Georgia should be able to pro-
duce within her own borders all the meat products
required and have a surplus for export
1t should be remembered that Georgia's pro-
gress in this respect is due very largely to the
efforts and influence of the Boys, Corn Clubs, to-
gether with their allied organizations, the Pig
Clubs The educational value of these agencies
has been immeasurable Their constructive mis-
sion should be encouraged in every county and by
all groups of business as we'll as agricultural in
terest.

Rumania'S Neutrality.

The one war-free land in eastern Europe today

peace has been peril and its aid has been eagerly
sought both by the Teutons and the Allies. But
its Government has remained firmly and tactfully
neutral. The sympathy of it's people. those of the

Powers notably with France. Last January pop

bounced that for while il seemed that the nation
would be swept into the Allies camp. But the
Government never swerved from it policy of watch

a right of way to ship munitions to the hard
pressed Turks, thereby mourning the sharp dis
pleasure of the Central Empires and, in way,
precipitating their drive through Serbia The sig

Henry Mackin, Stone Mountains Star
Splinter, the Cause of Third
Series of Accidents
BY CARL N. GUESS.


A s gave you an outline of the second
n accident happening in Stone Mountain
on December |. 1915, | am now OBJ
liged to admit that accidents are like rail-
road wrecks, that is, when one comes two
will be sure to follow and | now give you
the one which happened on December 70,
1915.
1t has long been known, especially among
the citizens of Stone Mountain, that Henry
Mackin was the champion Splinter in the
One-hundred-y yard dash, having previously
clipped "a Of a second off of the record,
or in other words his record for one hundred
yards now is. II minutes flat, and while IN the
act of trying to break this record on above
date some one, name unknown, stretched
rope across Main street just above Camp
bells beef market, and while he or they,
tied one end to a tree the other was tied to
a leg of what is known carpenter s
horse, there being three of said horses 10
feet high on which scaffold was built
and on said scaffold were five men tear
ing down a building better known as old
city hall Mackin hit the rope just at the
time of breaking the record, and in doing so
scaffolding to fall bringing the five men
with it injuring each of them such as break
ing bones, SHINING shins and scalping one
man.
Bill Campbell made dash from his mar
let to help the injured and arrived on the
scene lust in time to catch the full force OF
a two by four scantling on the head. He
was hurt very slightly, only a hve-lnch cash
on the side of his head and three fngernallS
ierked out by the root. At this time Bud
Dutton came on the dead run from his
wagonyard yelling for the ambulance or
rather the delivery wagon of Joe Brown,
which was being used at the time for such
purposes, and straining his voice In this
manner caused his head to be elevated away
back and while in this position he ran
through the plate glass window IN Gllham'
barber shop, knocking three teeth out and
breaking his left knee cap, at the same time
causing the barber to cut three-inch slit
in the neck Of the man he was shaving.
The ambulance arrived about this time,
and everybody present proceeded to help
pick up the remains and fragments and
started for ~, hospital with the police force
seated by the driver giving directions. Dur
ing this time the injured were resting very
well under good heavy charge Of Ointments
taken on the inside and out, but some one
who creased the ambulance the last time for
got that tops must be replaced on all four
wheels and not just two as in this case, and
by reason of this oversight not only were the
injured very near scattered to the four
winds of the earth, but the driver was
thrown headlong with the police force be-
tween the horses being bruised, mashed and
otherwise injured, in fact the driver left the
lobe of his right ear hanging tC nail on
side of the ambulance as he pitched forward.
All parties at this time have about healed
up and haired over and are looking forward
to a prosperous New Year.

Reserve Bank Earnings.

The fac: that during the first year of it's opera
ton the Federal Reserve bank of Atlanta earned
some eIghty-two thousand dollars above expenses
shows that the institution is highly efficient as
well as broadly serviceabe. Among the expenses

which will. not be incurred again. that the net
earnings are really larger than they appear to be-
The one great purpose of the Federal Reserve
system is service and in the Southeast in other
districts that purpose has been carried LUMINOSITY
into effect. The financial sOundness of the United

the country would never have withstOod firmly

The Rural Credits Bill.

The introduction of the Administrators rural
credits bill in the House Tuesday is an important
step for the financial freedom and stability of farm
ing interests The Federal Reserve system al
ready has been of marked value in this respect by
providing adequately for the needs of the crop
moving season and by making monetary resources
more readily available in the South and the West.
That system, however, was designed as general
remedy for general ills The peculiar problems of
rural credits were wisely reserved for subsequent
legislation in order that they might be treated
fully and definitely. That is the purpose of the
bill now before Congress.
While there may be differences of opinion over
the details of the measure it's broad principles
assured of generous support The need is manifest
for practical system of credits whereby farmers
can obtain ample loans convenient terms for per-
manent improvements well as temporary require
ments. In the leading European countries service
of this kind has long been established and has
proved strong factor in the upbuilding of agri-
cultural wealth. 1t is to be hoped that American
interests in this regard will longer be neglected.
The passage of the pending measure will complete
the Administrations program of banking and cur
rency readjustment and will bring opporsuni-
ties for national progress and enrichment.
