Bird and Boat Collide.

A flying albatross collided with
vessel in Australian waters with
such force that the trigger" lock-
ing the forward rudder was lifted,
and the rudder released. The vessel
was travelling at a speed of. 10, knots
per hour at the time, and, as a re-
suit of the sudden release of the
locking gear, the rudder took charge,
and caused the steamer to sheer off
her course. The en- ngines were quick
ly stopped, and the whistles blown
for assistance After delay of about
FIVE minutes, however, the rudder
was secured again. On a subsequent
trip the rudder was found to be dam
aged, and the steamer was with
drawn and sent for repairs. The al
batross, fine specimen, was meas
ured by one of the deck hands, and
found to cover ten feet from tip to
tip of the wings. The skipper at
first mistoek the bird for sheet Of
newspaper swept off the deck by

seys, some fresh and others far spent
and offering small quantities of milk.
He is shipping On an average of 65
gallons of sweet milk daily. The
Guernsey is proving to be a splendid

prove a great asset to it's owners,
surrounding communities and co-op-
orators.
The oat crop is coming into prom
inence in our county. Mr.. Guess
and a goodly number of other lead
ing farmers planted oats very large
ly last season and have harvested
great quantities of this crop. Mr..
Guess said that he planted 225 acres
of oats last season. He is still friend
ly to the crop and many of the fine
oats harvested are to be threshed for
seed. He, no doubt, will plant
much larger acreage in oats next
season. 1t is hoped that the time
will come when at the proper season,
great fields of this two-fold grain
crop can be seen. waving and ripen-
ing on every farm in our beloved
country, whose cotton producing

over by the coming ravages of the

Story of Boy Who Stuck.

The next time you visit Aiken, lit

homespun shirt and the blue denim
breeches, just you ask pa to take you
over Brooklyn way for short walk.
Go down the street by the postotflce
until you come to a large beautiful
oartistically facaded residense. Rose
bank they call it and it is most ap-
propriately named.
When you reach the bright, big,
newly adorned home with its magnl1l-
cent show of shrubbery, flowers and
its general air o fease"and refinement,
tell pa this little story-and it is not
a fairy tale, either:
One time long time ago, there
lived in a little country place in the
cold, cold Northland little farmer
boy whose parents were poor. True
they had plenty Of good warm clothes
and abundance of food but they had
but little money. The little chap when
he reached wearing age' had to go
to work, SO he got him job in a
country store Every night when he
knocked off work he went to his room
and he studied. studied, studied, He
played sometimes, too. He loved
baseball and they say he was crack
a-iack on the old home team. Bye and
bye he knew just lots, he was pert in
thought and apt in learning. He tried
for a scholarship and he won; this
brought him, with a small aid from
home. clean through one Of the big
gest universities in the Northland
When he left the university lie took
with him his degree as an electrical
engineer-he didn't tail his class,
either.
His bright mind now highly pol
ished sverved him toward the great
steel industry and he got him another
Job, this time with the big Bethlehem
Steel Company
He worked and he worked. One day
his "boss," who had only been poor
boy and who had made his great
wealth by hard, untiring labor and
solid Judgment, passed him by and
saw the sweat dripping from his fore
head. Hiss "boss'' inquired who he
was from one of the managers. From
that day he was marked for advance
ment.
His wages were increased into a
"salary" and then into an "honor-
aium," CHATS what they call big
mems wages) until the sum today~i is
over ten hundred thousand dollars
per year!

WANT NEW SAVANNAH BRIDGE
Allendale People Take Steps to Con-
sctruct Needed Crossing.

Allendale, May 15.-The question
of building a bridge over the Savan-
nah river at some point between
Stoney Bluff at the north and Burt
on's Bluff on the south and Burton's
ferry to the south was the subject of
an enthusiastic meeting of citizens
held here Friday afternoon. A party
of citizens from Screven county ar
rived in Allendale about II o'clock
and held a short meeting with citi-
zens at Fairfax at 1 o'clock, returning
here about o'clock, at which time
the most enthusiastic meeting ever
held in this town on public ques-
ton of this kind was held. The Screw
en- county delegation, headed by DR..
John Maner and J. E. Twitty, brought
into Allendale county about the most
enthusiasm ever exhibited here by a
party on any proposition of this ma
ture and when they left Allendale
county citizens were just as interest
ed in the proposition as the Georgia
delegation.
Mr.. Twitty, who is surveyor and
citizen of Sylvania, has spent some
time in the investigation Of this
proposition and his conclusions have
been that the bridge over the Savan-
nah at some point between the two
points mentioned would serve the in
terest of the general public to great
er advantage than at any bther point
beween Savannah and Augusta. 1t
would open up a new connecting link
on the northern highways and would
accommodate the best kind of tour
ists' traffic through this section, it
was pointed out. His remarks. to-
gether with similar ones by DR..
Maner and others of the Georgia del
egation, attracted great attention
from the Allendale citizens and en-
thusiasm is rife here in the consum-
nation of the proposition.
James NJ. Patterson, of .Allendale,
presided over the meeting and upon
motion appointed committees to fur
ther investigate the proposition and
the best means of carrying it out.
One committee composed of three
men from Screven county and three
from Allendale county and to be
known as the Investigation commit
tee and to meet at some early date
and go over the entire proposition in
regard to cost and to secure the in
terest of the federal government, the
state highway departments of both
Georgia and South Carolina, and also
to solicit general interest among the
private citizens along the route.
The Allendale members of this
committee are: J. E. Bryan, chief
commissioner of Allendale county; J.
L. Oswald and R. P. Searson. An
other commission is to go over the
entire situation and select the
best and most economical loca-
ton for the bridge. Mr.. Patterson,
of Allendale, and J. E. Twitty, of Syl-
vania, were selected on this commit
tee. 1t is the plan of the commit
tees to. get into this work Immediate
ly and when their information has
become available to give big rally
at some point on the Savannah river
at which time further plans will be
made for the carrying out of this
DrOpOsitiOn.
