BILL FOR CREATION
OF HAWLE YCOUNTY
BEATEN IN SENATE
Measure Lost by Vote of II
to 10, but Will Be Recon
sidered Later on Motion
of Senator Cummings.

The senate defeated the Hawley
county division bill at its session to-
day by vote of II to 10, but Senator
Cummings switched his vote to the
prevailing side before the result was
announced and served notice that he
would later move a reconsideration of
the vote by which the bill was defeat
ed. The action of the senate came
somewhat as a surprise because of the
fact the name of the county, Bear Riv-
err, had been changed by unanimous
consent to Hawley in honor of the ex-
Governor James H. Hawley. The pro-
posed county was to be created out Of
Bannock county and II is held to have
been a logical division. strong
lobby has been maintained for and
against the measure. The reconsid-
Grafton will be had Tuesday.
PASSED AND DEFEATED.
The senate also defeated senate bill
No. SO, by Bane, an act relating to
powers of cities, towns and villages to
annex adjacent territory. Similar ac
ton was taken with reference to SEN
ate bill No. 10, by Atherton, recreating
the state highway commission and
distributing the automobile tax col
lected.
The following bills were passed:
House bill No. 119, by Atherton-An
act to abolish the office of water COM
missioner.
House bill No. IA, by Peckham-
Relating to unplatted agricultural
lands within the corporate limits of
cities and towns.
Senate bill No. 1s1, by Jackson-An
act requiring every. person engaged in
the work of plur bling to obtain a GER
tificate.
Part of the senate's session this
morning was spent in the committee
of the whole considering bills on the
general calendar. Many bills are
pending on third reading in the upper
house of the legislature and it is ex-
pected to clear a majority of them
away this afternoon.

CHAPTER II.
The Witness for the Defense.


One of the pleasant evidences of the
possession of riches is in the luxury
of q private car. Although Colonel
nlingworth was personally man OF
simple tastes as became an old CAM
paigner, there was no appointment
that wit could devise or that money
could buy which was lacking to maze
his private car either more comfortable
or more luxurious In its napery, glass,
china and silver, the dining table need

where. The colonel was most pune
tilious In dressing his part and Meade
and Abbott were both scrubbed to
within an inch of their lives, but
climbing about the bridge, their hands
were scratched, roughened, stained and
torn. Aside from that, Meade was GER
tainly most presentable, and old Alb
bolt, in spite of his Indifference to
such matters, looked the able and pow
erful man he was.
The conversation at dinner was al
first light and frivolous.

under the superintendent of Abbott,
a man of great practical ability as an
erector, but of much less capacity as
a scientific designer or office engineer.
Meade had watched its daily growth
with the closest attention. Like every
other man in similar case, the work
had got into his blood. 1t had become
a part of his life. He loved the bridge

walked down the long wooden plat

the platform, as they turned about the

sprang up from the steep clifflike bank
of the other side of the vast river.
They saw her round, red, full face

The lower part of the bridge was still

broad river flowing swiftly in its dark

the suspended arm extending far over

| tened. The cantilever on the opposite
shore, incomplete and sunk under
high rise of sand, was still in shadow
and not yet discernible.

they get dry and plant these for seed.

OF the old collards of last year save
few plants to grow seeds for next
year These gather when ripe, bottle
and label. The same for beets, turnips,
parsnips, carrots, satisfy, spinach, egg

well dry and put into bottles or tin
boxes and label with true name and
date of gathering. When you collect
snaps and garden peas drop into each
bottle piece of cloth saturated with
spirits of turpentine. In case there
should be any late eggs of the bean
bug in any of them the fume of the
turpentine will destroy lite and your
seeds will come out clear of insects in
the spring.
And so with all of your favorite gar

upon to make an early start in spring.
Save some seeds of all as they mature
In the main part, grow your own seed

And we see no reason why ar honest

GEORGIA BANK BUYS HOGS

sonal Endorsement OF collateral just as
though we were loaning him the same
amount in dollars
Next we laid the proposition before our
directors for their approval and. like
all good directors, they held divers
opinions. Some thought the plan was
beneath the dignity of the largest bank
in a city of $4,000 inhabitants; others
said it would cause criticism among pro-
fessional and business men, but none
could deny the existence of the boil
weeviI and that it would soon decrease
our production of cotton, which our
planters had long grown at cost Nor
could they dispute the fact that the plan
offered the average farmer great oppor-
tunities for making money and that in
creased meat production would mean in
creased community wealth; so they were
not long in authorizing us to proceed
with the work and to invest whatever
money was necessary.
NEWSPAPERS HELP
We then enlisted the cooperation OF
the local newspapers, which gladly gave
US the use of their columns. The plan
received the instant and hearty APP
proval of the public, and we were flooded
with applications and inquiries from all
sections of the state. We were anxious
~ SCl Tic iuONSlHSut SldIlSu oh over
Georgia, and as it was of course, i'm
practicable for us to sell hogs to farm
ers residing outside Of our county, we
wrote numbers of letters to banks
throughout this section urging them to
take up the work. These letters have
been the means of selling a great many
more hogs, probably 1000, and the move
ment is still spreading. Our printers
furnished circulars, post cards and ap-
plication forms without charge and our
wholesale grocers gave us feed for the
hogs while they were being distributed
among the farmers. We had the hogs
selected and purchased by our county
by one of our railroads, who made no
charge for their services, which enabled
us to keep the cost down to the mini
mum.
Altogether we sold about 5000 worth
of swine and all of the farmers who
placed orders with US were highly
pleased with the hogs we selected The
campaign has resulted in new friends,
new business, some fine advertising
and eventually it will greatly increase
our deposits After all, it was a selfish
motive which prompted us to put the
plan into operation, but it is well worth
the time and attention of every banker
in the south and especially SO now, in
view OF our war situation and the ex-
tremely high prices which meats are
