SMYRNA CITIZEN IS
RUN DOWN THERE
BY AN AUTO
Mr.. C. L. Daniell Is Struck
and Fatally Injured;
Dies In Hospital

A fatal. accident occurred in the
streets of Smyrna on Wednesday
morning, when Mr.. G. L. Daniel was
run over by car driven by two la
dies.
He had come down a cross street,
and without looking toward the ap-
preaching car, started to cross the
street, and got directly in front of
the car, being struck, knocked down,
and dragged beneath the car for a
short distance.
Witnesses report the accident to
have been unavoidable on the part
of the ladies in the car, which was
going at only a moderate speed.
Mr.. Daniel was picked up in an
unconscious condition and rushed to
the hospital in Marietta, but died
shortly after arriving there, and be-
fore anything could be done for his
relief.
Mr.. Daniel was an old and honored
citizen of Cobb County, having serv-
ed in the Georgia Legislature and at
one time was tax receiver of Cobb
county.
He was a Christian of the highest
character and standing, had long
been member of the Malony Springs
Primitive Baptist Church, and at the
time of his death was clerk and trea-
surer of the town of Smyrna, where
he had made his home for about 80
years.
Prior to that he lived in Marietta
and had relatives and many friends
here who are shocked and grieved to
learn of his death. He leaves a wife,
and number of grown children, Mrs.
Lucy Myers and G. L. Daniel, Jr.,
being the only children who made
their home with him. Mr.. Claude
E. Daniel, of Marietta, is son, and
Mr.. J. j. Daniel, of Marietta, half
brother. His other brothers are j.
S. Daniel, of Atlanta, P. Y. Daniel,
of Ohoopee, and half brothers D. P.
Daniel, of Bolton, P. F. Daniel, of
Atlanta, ]. L. Daniel, of Fair Oaks,
and half sister, Mrs. o. E. Pickens,
of Smyrna.
The whole community was cast IN
gloom over his sudden and violent
death, and there was much sympathy
expressed for the wife, children and
other relatives in the season of grief.
At the hour of this writing the
funeral arrangements had not been
completed, one son in Texas not haV-
ing been heard from.

A loss of live weight Of hogs and

Of purchasing local hogs in small lots

out that at this and other seasons

AS facilities for feed and watering are

and are eating well the most difficult
part of their care Is over. The feeding
and management from then on will
depend much upon whether they are
to be kept for breeding or fattened
for the market. Soon after weaving 1t
is best to separate those animals
which are kept for breeding purposes
from the fattening stock.
The Fattening Stock.
The stock selected for fattening is
fed in two periods-first, the growing
period, from weaving until approx
mately six weeks to two months Of the
marketing date; and, second, the fin
fishing period, from that time up to
marketing. During the first or grow
ing period the ration is much the same
as that given to the breeding stock
that is, all of the nutritious pasture
they need but with heavier grain ra-
ton of slightly wider nutritive ratio.
The object is to grow pig with plenty
Of size and scale and one that will
fatten quickly and economically. Some
feeders use the self-feeder at this pc
Rod and obtain excellent results, Civ
ing the pigs free access to such feeds
as corn, mill feeds, and tankage
while on pasture. The practice tends
to shorten the feeding period and pro-
duces pork with slightly less grain per
unit of gain. Under these conditions
pigs do not neglect their forage but
really make more economical use of 1T
than when the grain is limited. In
feeding "a limited grain ration on pas
ture more success has been attained
by giving an amount equal to three
per cent of the body weight than when
fed in lesser amounts.
The most rapid but also the most ex-
pensive gains in the pigs life comes
during the finishing period. During
these last few weeks before slaughter
the animal is given all the feed he VIII
consume with relish. Much more corn
and less protein concentrates are fed
during this period, representative ra-
ton being composed of ten pounds of
corn to one pound of tankage. The
change in rations must be gradual and
the increase in feed not too rapid
otherwise the animal is apt to Ego Off
feed" or lose his appetite. Pastures
are very valuable at this time, espe-
cially those composed of feeds high in
protein, for they furnish cheap
source of nitrogen and keep the pig
toned up and his appetite keen. A hog
will consume three and One-half to
four per cent grain ration at this
time, depending, of course, on the
character of the feed and the weight
of the hog, larger hog eating less
in proportion to his weight than a
smaller one. The self-feeder was pri-
marily devised to finish the hog at this
time and serves it's purpose in excel
lent fashion. Slightly more rapid ana
economical gains are made by its use
than can be obtained by the best OF
hand feeding.
