MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin S. Cobb
On Our Daily Menu


If my memory. serves me right, I al

in the cheap restaurant who ordered eggs
for breakfast

why not?" asked the white man.
Aren't the eggs fresh?"
81 don't know eff they is or eff they amt
cause to tell you de truth We amt got
none"
I am repeating this story because it
seems to me it should be included with the
two others Of a somewhat similar tenor
which l heard the other day.

short-order establishment in search Of des-
sert a gentleman who had just finish ed
with the more solid parts of the meal, or
dered stewed peaches.
In minute or two the waiter came
hurrying back from the kitchen.
I'm sorry, SIR he said, but you'd bet
ter order something else. The stewed
peaches are pears today and they've turned
sour on us"
Here is number three of the series:
A County Kerry man, newly landed IN
the country, was taking his first walk up
Sixth avenue under the escort of his
brother who had been living here several
years. In the window of a delicatessen
store he saw great mound of fresh cram
berries.
What are them?" he asked

Are they fit to eat?"

Georgia 5 "Pauber Acres

II 4
Vt interest in Georgia will do we'll to re-
fleet upon the assertion that in this
and neighboring commemorative, "the old
timber has passed largely into the hands OF
non-residents,' while "the profits from its
operation are still chiefly enriching other
states, leaving behind as legacies to the local
communities millions Of pauper acres"
The words quoted are from so able an au-
thority Mr.. w. w. Ashe, secretary of the
national forest reservation commission, of
Washington, D. c. Writing in the South
Atlantic Quarterly, he drives home the fact
this region, although it contains one-third of
the potential forest lands of the entire coun-
try and than onehalf of all privately
owned lands of that nature, is nevertheless
doing lamentably little to safeguard this
treasure against extinction. The output of
lumber In Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas
and Virginia during the last twelvemonth
amounted to hardly one-half of what it was
during years of maximum production Of
Georgias original forest area less than one
twentieth remains, and this remnant is fast
shrinking; its lumber output has decreased.
within decade fifty per cent. Yet, regar@
less OF these warning developments tn state
does next to nothing by way either of con
servation or of replenishment. Within its
borders there are upwards Of one million
acres of unproductive forest land. Why is
nothing done to redeem this waste and to
prevent millions of other acres from being
stripped to similar poverty? The answer is
worth pondering; Absentee ownership de.
sire for immediate profits, operations con-
Quoted largely for the supply of distant mar
kets, and the failure of state and local COM
munities to take cognizance of reduced pro-
ductivity as an economic loss"
The plea for Georgia's forests is not that
they shall be left unusued and improbable
to their owners, but, that they shall be made
permanently useful and more profitable Prac.
tical students of the problem declare that the
area Wnlcn now produces annually less than
and a quarter billion board feet of timber
worth the stump about seven million dol,
lars, could be made to yield upwards of six
billion board feet, worth more than thirty
million dollars. No one now better appre-
ciates the value and the need of conservation
than the far-sighted Mmberman. He it is
who joins most heartily with the scientist in
commencing approved methods of dealing
with timber supplies In urging the reforesta-
tion Of waste lands. and in appealing for pro-
lection against fire. -, y
This last is of primary importance Not

WORDS ON EGG SAYS
"CHRIST is COMING"
FREAK OF NATURE FOUND ON
FARM OF ]. c. LEE SHOWN
IN DAWSON MONDAY.

Mr.. ]. {. Lee. who lives on the
Weaver place four miles north OF
Dawson. is the owner of strange
freak OF nature in the form OF a hen
egg bearing the words Christ IS
coming"
The egg was found by Mrs. Lee
early Monday afternoon and was
brought to The News Office where
it was exhibited later in the day. Mr..
Lee states that the egg was found in
nest which had been taken from the
original occupant. Whether or not
the fact that the hen which laid the
curious egg was a thief had anything
to do with the inscription cannot be
stated. but the fact remains that the
she'll OF the, egg had the inscription in
slightly raised letters upon its surface.
The three words were one above the
other and resembled a sprawling hand
writing but were easily and distinctly
read The letters were slightly raised
and somewhat whittier and smoother
than the remainder of the egg.
There have been several incidents OF
eggs bearing inscriptions being found
in different parts OF the United States
Ali accounts of these eggs have had
practically the same wording One
found at Plains, Ga, about year
ago bore the same inscription. This
is the first egg of this nature to have
been found in Terrell county.
Mr.. Lee states that he will be glad
to have any doubters examine the egg
to prove the letters were not made
by any external means.

ED TO 27,26e.0o DOLLARS.
TERRELL LARGE CONTRIBUTOR
Farmers Loaded Several Thousand
Pounds at Dawson and Parrott
Poultry Raising Becoming Profit
able Source of Income.

Poultryrnen who sold their fowls
to buyers on the special poultry trains
operated by the Seaboard Air Line
railroad the past season received good
prices and a large sum for their chick
ems, according to a statement recelv-
ed by The News from J n. Mcbride,
general agricultural agent of the road.
According to Mr.. McBride's figures
a total OF 1884 pounds OF fowls of
all classes were handled on Seaboard
special poultry trains operated over
this division during the season. OF
this total poundage 7.287 pounds were
received from the NJ d. & S. railroad
at Vidalia, and were loaded at
stations between that point and Ma
con. These fowls brought the sellers
in cash at the car door a total of ST.
26960
Mr.. McBride's report also shows
that poultry trains operated over its
system in Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina handled $4,000 pounds
of fowls for which the huge sum OF
500 30014 was paid.
OF this total farmers shipping from
Dawson contributed 3263 pounds for
which they received S625.34, and Par
rott shippers supplied 1916 pounds
and received $28418, making total
for Terrell county OF 1000 pounds.
for which was paid $901.52 Richland
shipped 2,953 pounds for which the
sellers were paid $660.18, Americas a.,
1874 pounds for which S1,078.75 was
received. and Albany go pounds for
which the receipts were $ll8.30
Besides the fowls handled by the
Seaboard in Terrell county farmers
here sold as many pounds to buyers
on chicken cars operated by the en-
trail railroad, making the total sale OF
poultry by Terrell county approx
mately $4,000
These figures should be interesting
to farmers OF this section. This in
come represents new revenue, and the
field for its development here is prac-
tically unlimited. Farmers OF this en-
tire section have an opportunity open
TO them in chicken raising such as
would be eagerly grasped by almost
any community. Ideal conditions eX-
ist here for raising fowls.
