Tha same can be done hare in Surry U our pao-. pie will tali act together. One of the cherished meoioriee oil j the editor of this paper I* the time be (pent on a little creek near where he WU reared. TV creek WM hardly a ■ Im enough to fM a mill, hot K had in its clear water eala, and homhend* and the memory of the sport of catch ing them waa one to laat a life time. Man ia incurably a hunter and fisher man. He enjoys nothing better than to hunt or fish when be cm have reasonable luck. Men of wealth and leisure go thousands of mllaa to out of-the-way places of earth to find mod fishing and bunting ground. Let j the farmers of this county Among themselves to stock the i and they can attract man of here to raend weeks and weeks in our midst. Their stay would mean a vast expenditure of money hi the way of guide*, the right to flab and lodg ing and board. It wouM advertise our county to all parte of the eoun-1 try. It would bring men of wealth here who would otherwise never see our county. But all this ran never ba done until the thinking farmers of our county realise what a wealth of pleasure and Income would be in all thia. A pub lic sentiment must be created that will •top thoughtless fellows from destroy ing the fish in a ruthless way with ex plosives and unlawful ways of fish ing. Think it over. A NEW POULTRY BUSINESS There ia developing a bran poultry business near this city that i deserves more than passing notice. It, ia named the Franklin Poultry Farm i and is located on the land* of Mr. J. Luther Wood on what ia know as the Shade Franklin farm two miles south i of this city. The buaineaa ia owned by Mr. Wood and Mr. Walter Snow.; Mr. Snow ia the nana -er of the busi-1 neas and gives it bis entire time. He j also has a helper who is employed for j bis full tima. The business is located on a sloping I southern exposure and several acres I of land will be encloeed for yards dur- , ing the spring. The business is in its I first year and ahows everything to be j new and yet in an incomplete state. But what has been done ia well done ! and the whole layout shows that it is i along lines of modern ideas. The! buildings are large and roomy, of[ which there are now seven, the foun- I dations are of cement, the walls of i tha incubator house of heavy con crete and stone and all work has been done in a substantial way. Mr. Snow has been learning the; poultry business for several years in a small way and has had some ex perience in large poultry yards. He knows enough of the business to make this a success from the very start, and ; it is already a paying enterprise be fore a year has passed. They now 1 have as many as 800 hens and are get- i ting as many as 500 eggs a day. They have incubator space for 6200 eggs and are running at full capacity and getting satisfactory results in hatch- J nig. They have large brooder houaes and have on hand young chicks at all ages which they sell. So far they have been able to dispose of all baby chicks and plan to keep enough for their own yards to have 6000 young laying hens next fall. Mr. Snow lives near his yards and • Del co lighting system provide* electric lights for all poultry houses and for ventillating fans for the in cubators. No less than $6,000 has been invested In this busineas during the past few months and everything points to a permanent and large poul try business. We suggest to all thoae who are Interested that they make it conven ient to visit this poultry farm some time and get a look at the develop ment m Ha first stages. It ia by no means complete yet, but enough baa been done to show to the new begin ner what can be done and how to do it. OUR NEW CRIMINALS It U contended by BUf that much of the orim* and lawl—mm in this c<innti y if caused by the new comers from other countries who have not yet adjusted themselves to their new en vironment. Most of the arrests made for drunkenness are foreigners. Most of the clamor for a chance of oar laws as they apply to liquor comas from the foreign element of oar pop slat ion. Last week fai New York, after months of diligent work by a large force of detectives, a band of counter - fsiters was located, the lsaflsrs ar rested and many of their aaeocistee in other cities arrested. They were making and circulating »5 and «10 hills that won enough like the gaa atee to fool the pshiic. The leaders of the counterfeiter* war* the followiag: • • 1. wm art ®f 0i c I if thmy Could fW tlM patty thief km btm with ue ta aB ifn., LMa and b«n aafe *iace the beginning of ttaaa. There h*» always; existed enough of tha criminal claaa to keep tha whole maaa ai humanity buay inventing lock*, burglar alarms I to protect themaelvea. tha a«oe past tha criminal locked in • dungeon and allowed to dia a Mow death hacaee* mo way could ha found to treat him deeaatly— ha would not permit it. There haa never been • way to deal with the criminal claaa only by way of punishment in aome form. The criminal is not amenable to naaaa and fears nothing but the loee of hia liberty. The hope of society now ia to go to the expense of keeping enough officer» on the job to hart the criminals at their own game. It much intelligent effort if the criminal is suppressed. The ease with which the criminal can get away from the scene of his crime, we suspect, in the real caoae ef so much crime. The automobile has made H a thief to be clear out of the before his dirty work ia known. There ia bo doubt about the fact that many men are living what ap pears to be decent I ires for the one and only reason that they fear the law. If they could invent soaie way to do a dirty Job and get by with it they would not hesitate a moment to turn criminal. The automobile has made it possible for many men to conclude that a way haa been found to escape the penalty, and hence we have an increased number of crimi nals and Crimea. Out in one of the western states, Iowa if we recall the facta, so msny hank* were betng robbed that the bankers got laws passed requiring every township in the state to have special deputies whose business it was to be ever ready to hunt down any criminal. When these special offi cers were once on the job the bank robbers hunted other and safer ground for their dirty work. IHinoia refused to make laws that would aid the business men in this way. and now that state haa a nation-wide rep utation for the number of it* crim inals. It will be easy but costly to beat the criminal when we once make up our mind* that he must be suppressed. READY CASH Say what yon please, but nothing in thi* life cpmes in better than some ready caah, coin of the realm, when it in hadly needed, say when the e ia t>> or oil to bay for the Sunday viait or the doctor to pay, or mmt drugs to huy for the tick one. The trouble with most one-crop far men like the cotton and tobacco fay tner, ia that the cash comes in all at • lump when the crop ia sold in the fall. There ia no ready caah coming in all alone daring the year. On* of the moat pleaaing feature* of the city worker la that be geta hia pay in caah on Saturday and thua can have the pleaaure of paying hia biUa, and bay ing what ha needa. There are many farm honea now that are ao conducted that there ia coming in all along that much needed ready caah. We heard fireaide goaaip just now of how one good wife haa sold $60 worth of eggs daring the months of January and February. Plenty of farmer* are selling batter and buttermilk and egga each week and thua always having the ready caah for the many thinprs it will pro vide. Hk essential thing to do to have this ready caah ia to get in the habit of looking after little datafla, like giving the chickens warn water while the wife ia preparing breakfast, i Chickens, the hooka My, will not lay. without water and they wil not drink much cold water. A chicken ia a hot blooded animal, if yoa pleaae. much Utter than a four legrad crea tare, and to take cold water into Its system la like pouring water in a hot frying pan. They don* do it They leave off the cold water ard heaee leave off the egg laying. L<* V after the little things If vou want tin ready caah to rnms along a* It ia need W. E.

During the last two sr three verts, Mvml manufacturers hare written different citizens in Mount Airy, re questing farther information about Mount Airy and oar pare Anglo Saxon labor, which is so abundant here in this section of the State. The citizens receiving these inquiries have been careful to corrvetly inform the people that oar labor problems here are un surpassed in the State, due to the ennrmoua amount of available pore Anglo Saxon labor. All the manufacturers' inquiring, are very particular to gat the infor mation about this section of the State, and especially about our labor pro blems. With conditions so favorable bere in regard to labor, and with the power that will be furnished us after July 1, 192*5, by the Southern Public Utilities Corporation, and the free factory locations being given by the Mount Airy Merchants Association and the great advertising scheme that is going to be launched by the Cham ber of Commerce, together with other progressive steps that will be taken by the Merchants Association and other organisations of the town.
