after- prayer. byRt . Bey. ClelanVS

in his address Mr. Thompson on be,

thanked Mr. Connelly and the mem.

. This monument testifies not . only
to the high esteem in which President
Spencer was held by his associates
but :als0 to the loyalty of the band . of
employes which he organized and
which his genius directed in building
up and operating one of the greatest
railway systems in the south. It
symbolizes the ideal relation between
the-manager of a railway system and
those who serve under: him, "each one
in his particular sphere giving to the
property, the best service of which he
is capable and co-operating with, f el
low employes to secure the best gen.
ecal resjiUs. The maaaeemeBt.qf
the company appreciates at its full
wfitth the -spirit of cooperative loy.
ally that pervades pur organization
and makes it one that any man
might be proud to lead . It is an or.
ganization which, man for man, I do
not believe has its superior on any
railway in the United States. It is
ajb organization in which men tare
constantly showing high capacity and
in- which vacancies occurring in the
service, including the more resppnsl,
hie posts, are being filled by promo:
tien from the ranks.
''Mr. Spencer was essentially an
organizer and a builder. Hie high
est ambition was the development of
the Southern Railway into a more
efficient transportation system, thus
psaking it a still more important
factor in the upbuilding and prosper.
ity of the South. It was to this
prjoblem that Mr. Spencer was con.
santly devoting the best energies of
his constructive mind and as we, his
successors, carry forward the great
wdrk he had planned, I believe that
the people of the South will recog.
nice, even more fully than they, do
today, the inestnaMe value to - on
entire section of the crowning work
of-his life.

How to Blake a Hen Set.
If a hen won't set, and you want
her to, just make her, says Wilmer
Moore, of Georgia. It seems that
ayoung Moore had -been told by a
( farmer that he had made a hen. care
toT chickens that had . never been
.known: to set Jong enough to hatcn
a brood.. The way he did 4t,-as was
nen arouna m me air uni.u sue was
too dizzy to stand. Then he put her
in this comatose condition in a
lockup coop with the young chickens.,
The feathered matron recovered and,
thinking she was the mother of the
'brood, started clucking. And this
step.mother acted like a real mother.
and raised the whole bunch until
they were old enough to scratch for
their own living.
Wilmer's dominecker was a good
hen, but she was a suffragette. She
cackled all the time, adw oud!9Abb
cackled all the time, and would lay
an egg occasionally, maybe, but she
never showed any inclination to raise
a family. In
other words, she
wouldn't set. Young Moore then
thought oyer what the farmer had
joid him, and decided he would try
the same system. He believes that
chickens, as well as others, should
&VX7 out the Roosevelt policy. So
he nabbed her one day when she
wasnt looking, grabbed her firmly
by both feet and let her loop the loop
several times around his head. When
be set her on the ground she was so
;drunk she couldn't stand.
iu fact ber condition was so maud.
. im that when she was placed on a
:Setting of eggs, she didn't knpw
h - ,i, at-Vi v aria -vxro a fn o rion'o n ocf rv o
'Mballot box and she sat and has been
for over two weeks .
. Of course, everybody .knows who
has ever tried to raise chickens, that
the best way to break a hen of seU
ting is to give her a good ducking of
water . This cure has been . tried
fwith success for years. But to make
j a hen set, when she don't want to,
was left to young Moore to discover .
So the new rule in the poultry
guide is: If you want to get a hen
rto set. make her drunk; and vice
versa if you want to break a hen of
setting,
give her the . water cure,
'which will cure man, beast or fowl of
'the drink habit.. Waxhaw Enter.

I The first thing I do remember that
I was trying to saw wood with one of
those old. buck saws .The buck was so
high .that when I put my foot on "the
stick of wood to hold ! it down and
drewtheaw' "towards me the whole
thing, . buck .included, would come
tumbling down upon , me V You see
I was below the ' center of gravity
and much to one side of It. -
I was about two years" bid then and
latex on I mastered the art of sawing
wood on a (buck under . the careful
supervision of my father. ' In those
days when . had to saw wood: I was
in the habit of saying something, but
have sine learned;' that it is : best
Just to 'saw wood and say nothing'
I was a contractor" at a very "early
age. that is I conracted -all the disea.
ses to which children' are subject.
The measleB caught, me before I
could; walk ; I caught everything else
myself.' The measles got hold of
me when I wag only : sixteen 'months
old, and they "almost . killed 'me . " A
boy of that age seldom' gets "a square
deal' from the measles. I beat the
scarlet fever in a tussle at the age of
evenr. the whooping caught at nine
the chicken - pox at ten; and the
mumps at twelve, .Aside from thes
diseases,, which are hard to dodge for
a boy who follows. . a boyis business
and does the usual amount "of run1:
my person a stubbed toe At the
age of 12 I was pronounced proof
agalngt green apples and drowning.
I was a healthy boy. In fact
there weren't many sick boys in those
days . Just the thought of the medl
cine which the doctors gave them
kept many a boy from being sick
They never gave you leso than a
tablespodnful, and it was always
black and sudsy looking. I am sure
now that .the medicine us boy s didn't
take saved many of our lives. We
ust-couldn't bear the thought of tak
ing the nasty medicine, got out of
doors and got well without it. When
was a boy the doctors were not in
such a big hurry to get a patient to
the graveyard as they . are now
They waited until you got sick before
they gave . you any medicine - then
they gave you enought to cure or killj
-
you. Now they give you the medl
cine and you 'get sick afterwards. In
those dayg a doctor who didn't carry
pills bags that would: hold from a
peck to a half bushel of medicine
couldn't get much practice.
They didn't fix up the medicine to
take like they do now, In capsules and
sugar coated, pills and pellets., When
I was a boy we would suffer a whole
heap of belly ache, and now let the
old folks know it rather V than take
the big tablespoonful of nasty,' black
eudsy looking . medicine. : . Now then
. . -. . . - . - .
fix it up so you can't taste the meii
cine, and; make some of the children
think its candy. When I was a boy
the parent's didn't lie. to ; their child
xen except about .Santa- Claus They
iJugt gave us that tablespoonful of old
black; nasty stuff 'and in an hour we
didn't know which end of us was the
sickest. The medicine In those days
was mighty quick on trigger .
" When I was a boy there were many
doctors, and they were mostly hon
est : People didn't eat much medicine
like they do now and there wasn't
much sickness. "So far as your tJn

A cougin fooling with the tongue of
an empty wagon started it towards

tree, at the very edge, and my life
was safed. These little occurrences
happening at so early an : age made
me a hero, but I don't think I appre

I do not regret having had these
opportunities to get myself killed at
