WALKER L R D
TO GERMANS
BY international News service

BERLIN, Aug. Mayor james
j. Walker Of New York promises
to become a national hero in Ger
many by virtue of nothing more
than his late sleeping hours and
his free. and easy manner.
He is today probably the most
puzzling, most amazing personality
in Germany. The German people,
accustomed to the stiff dignity OF
their own officials, are unable to
understand the informality, geni-
atty and good-fellowship Of this
young mayor OF the worlds great
est city. an infcrn1ality which goes
to the extent of the public gen.
orally calling him Jimmy
The Germans are particularly
puzzled by the lateness of the
New York mayors hours, both
waking and sleeping, which are so
contrary to every German idea of
the American go-getter.'s
Mr.. Walker maintained his repU-
tatien for late sleeping today by
getting up just in time to attend
the luncheon rendered him by Lord
Mayor Boess at the latter's resi-

representative during the past four
years, and his experience combined
with the knowledge of county affairs
and needs, would make him an able
public officer. Should he decide to make
the race we pledge him our support.

Colored Argument
Ends With Shooting.

An argument of several weeks dura-
ton came to an abrupt end last Friday
when Wellington Jenkins, colored, shot
jamie Love, also colored, at her home
on the Bowman place about nine miles
northeast of Lexington. The wound in
flicted by an old style pistol it is
said, only caused a minor injury, the
bullet imbeddng itself in her shoulder
and was removed by probing when she
was brought to Lexington for medical
attention. The assailant was placed in
Jail to await further action, and the
woman was carried back home. Both
of the parties involved are tenants on
J. c. Bowmans place >and the negro
man, it is stated, had ben ordered off
the place before the above trouble took
place.

Holmes Dairyman
)Is Finding Profits
| In Dairy Business

! That there is money in the dairy bus
tiness is fact long recognized and
there is at least one citizen of Holmes
lsunty who has proved it to his fellows
fthis year.
While in the Advertised office few
days ago on business, Mr.. r. M. McNeer
prosperous and progressive farmer
living four miles east of Lexington on
the Durant road, exhibited creamery
check for $24.47. Inquiry developed
the fact that this check represents the
sale of butter fat for one week from
}nine cows.
The one week cited is not an excep-
esianal one, but rather, fair average
for the year The check will probably
reach $50 each week soon, as another
COW will then be furnishing milk, but
creamery records show that the yerage
is fair one.
Mr.. McNeer is now feeding his cows
heavily, at a cost of $50 per month; he
has good pastures during the greater
nart of the wear, and feels that an aver
age monthly feed bill of $25 will cover
all expenses. He does not stint his
cows, preferring to have heavy feed
bill and heavy cream check.
Taking the latter figure as correct
we have Holmes county farmer, from
rine cows, with no hired help, drawing
O regular salary of $75 per month
n addition to this SALARY" Mr.. Nc
Neer again without hired help, pro
dnced two bales of cotton, 5000 wortf
CT soy beans, and has sold $l1o worti
of dairy cattle, mostly young calves.

ing on that occasion. I feel sure we all
will be interested in knowing what dis
position has been made of this offering
and this is to say that in response to
request presented by Mr.. G. W. Stig-
the hospital, $l25.OO was given the in
stitution to be used for equipment for
bathroom on the second floor. This,
we all will recognize, is an urgent need
and we do not think our assistance in
this will be questioned. This leaves n
balance of $500 net, which will be
used to buy some needed equipment for
the hospital. Miss Harris will confer
with us as to just what is most needed
and her judgment is to be relied upon
and accepted We are very happy to
know our efforts for so worthy a cause
have made good results possible and we
fully realize that our friends and their
interest and generosity are the secret
