Bill Arp Tells the Story of Nancy. Hart.

He Kdotci Tom Lee, a Crit-Gr-d

on of the Revolutionary HeroineJteplorra Incompletfnen ofConfederate Army Itecord.

.Copyrighted by the Atlanta Constitution.and reprinted by permission.

A few months ago some doubtingcorrespondents hinted that the storyof Nancy Hart was probably an ex-

aggerated romance or a handed-dow- n

tradition or maybe a .yth. ItIs fortunate that the doubt was pub-lished, for it awakened and arousedthe good old people of Klbert andHart counties and brought to lightfacts and records concerning the oldlady that might have passed into ob-

livion. That the story of her hero-ism is true is now established, asclearly as it was when Hart countywas cut off from Elbert and namedfor her, the only county in Georgiathat was named for a woman. Whilethis newspaper controversy was going on down in Georgia there was atrreat strapping: Vircrinian namedTom Lee, 6ya feet high and large inproportion, operating the passengerdepartment of the Lackawanna railroad. He is the great-grandso- n ofNancy Hart, descended from her in abee line through honorable Virginiaancestors. He knew nothing of thiscontroversy concerning his maternalancestor, and said recently, whenspeaking of her that it was the sorrow of his life that he was not personally acquainted with her.

Tom Lee is a great favorite amongthe railroad officials. Very recentlyhe wished to try the work and speedof a new monster locomotive, and in-

vited the presidents and superintend-ents of several railroads and 43 edi-

tors and newspaper men to go withhim on a special to Pocona moun-tains and back again. On the north-ern roads the superintendents nowhave an indicator or Dutch clock intheir private car that registers thespeed. "What do you want?'" saidTom Lee. "Well, about 70 miles,"said the editor. The speed was then55 miles an hour, but quickly theclock registered 5G, 57, 53, 60, 05, 10,where it remained for several min-utes while the engineer was holdingher down to an even, steady pace. Aglassful of water on the floor wouldnot have spilled a drop. Tom Leet.aid: "I would have given you 80 ifyou had asked for it." After awhile1hey stopped at the Swiftwater house,where Washington and Lafayetteplayed croquette after the war wasover, and where Joe Jefferson spendshis summers. Tom Lee knows hislineage and that his parents wereVirginians and nearly related to theHarts, for whom Thomas Hart lien-to- n

was named.For the sake of many children who

Lave never heard the story, I willbriefly relate that during the darkcays of the revolution five tories cameto her cabin and ordered her to gettinner for them. She did so, andwhile they were eating and drinkingend their guns were set up in thecorner of the room she quietly tookthem outside, and, standing at thec.oor, with one in her hand, she drewrim on the leader and ordered themto surrender or die. One man start-t- d

toward her and she shot him deadend seized another gun and shot an-other who had risen from the table.With another gun she kept the othersc;uiet until some neighbors came andthey were taken prisoner. No doubtths is a true story, and a man hadlie ter not move to Elbert or Hartcotnty and express any doubts aboutit. I have been there and know. Someyears ago I lectured in Hartwell, andIron there journeyed to Elberton ina biggy with a preacher. We got alate start and the preacher's horsewantd to slow up at every housewhere there was a woman in sight,and vhen we got to the river theferrynan was away and we had towait tn hour for him to come back.

BG EARS THAT GROW.

Attrlctlar Appendages, Says Science.Are (tellable Indicators of Their

Owner's Aice.

A mot discouraging fact for peoplewith bir ears, or, in fact, for peoplewith aiv ears at all, has been discov-ered by Jie systematic examination ofover 40,100 pairs of ears in Englandand Eraice. It has been discoveredthat theear never stops growing whileits owne is alive. So people with bigears in yjuth may expect to have reg-ular "riapers" in old age, and thedainty mss with the seashell appen-dages oneither side of her head mayexpect tie ears to which her loversnow write sonnets to become largeand x'roffiQent when she is a. grand-mother. Jut --he won't care &o muchthen, whidi is one consolation; all herlovers wil be dead or married, andtJiere willbe only the children to re-na- rk

"whtt big ears granny has got!"Granny, wio used to have the littlepink seashjlls.

The ear it hs been discovered,grows evenin the later decades of lafe.We get ole and sv "eled up atid de-

crease in sature, .. the ear stillgrows. A voman with small ears at20 probablj will have medium-size- d

evirs at 40, aid large ears at 50. Again,it is stated, as the result of the ex-amination of the 40,000 pairs of ears,that probaby no person in the worldhas earsi pefectly matched. In mostpeople the tvo ears differ perceptiblynot only in ihape, but in size. Fre-quently thej are not placed on thehead at exacly the came angle or attie same heijhiU

It is declaed by those who havedevoted theirtime and abilities to thetudy of earsthat the age of a person

can be judged by them with great ac-curacy by an expert.

lecting breeding stock get young,rigorous, healthy birds, bred by a responsible and successful breeder.

If a large flock is to be kept, donot house too many in one place. Donot make buildings too expensiveHave them warm, light, well-ven- ti

lated, and free from dampness. Allow about five feet of floor space toeach bird. Have perches low downand movable, so the droppings canbe removed easily. Let perches befiat, say about three inches broad. Infeeding fowls provide a variety, nomatter what you want to produce.Feed twice a day when fowls havethe range of the farm. Give softfood of some kind mornings, andgrain evenings. Let soft feed be warm,but not hot nor sloopy; feed it introughs; scatter grain in litter onthe floor, so fowls will have to workfor it. Some meat and bone shouldform a part of the ration two orthree times a week. Almost any ofthe vegetables used on the farmer'stable will be relished by the fowls,and will be found conducive to healthand,to the production of eggs. L. E.Kerr, in Epitomist.

Cleanliness in Bntter Making,The farmer's wife who wishes to

produce an article of butter that willsell in competition with the dairyproduct must adopt the dairy meth-ods and appliance as far as possible.One of these is that cleanliness mustbe observed and the milk preservedfrom contamination from the time itis taken from the cow until the but-ter is packed and delivered to thecustomer. How often in the ordinaryfarm dairy have we seen the cowsdriven into a filthy, muddy yard, cov-ered with manure, with the uddeiand teats probable covered with theaccumulated filth of the day andmilked by the hired man without re-gard to the conditions of his hands.The strainer is relied upon to removethe dirt, but tkere is filth that be-comes incorporated and dissolved inthe milk which only distillation canremove. On the farms where modelbutter is made, which has a localreputation and sells at a premium,the cow is brought from the pasture,cleaned and brushed, and her udderand teats well washed before she istaken into a clean shed or stall.whereshe is milked. The milk is then carefully handled, kept cool in cleancrocks, or pans, in sanitary surroundings, churned at the right temperature, and the product is as good asthe best creamery. Cor. DroversJournal.

Farm Experiments.No farmer wants to be uncondition

ally tied to the principle of never trying anything until it has been provedan undubitable success, nor, on theother hand, should he be so bigotedas never to credit the experience oothers, but regard his own trial asthe only conclusive one. The extentto which a man may indulge in experimental work should be determined by his resources. If his credits each year be only equal to hisdebts he may well be conservative inhazarding his income on uncertainexperiments; but if he be a man ofmeans, the luxury of experimentawork on the farm seems iustifiablefor without causing hardship to anyone he may save others less favorablysituated from future failure. Butwhoever performs experiments lethim give his neighbors the benefit othe trial; if success result, it usuallyfinds its way to the public eye, butfailure not so often. Geo. P. Williams, in Epitomist.

Sbelter For the Hoga.Prepare now to build a hog-hous- e

for shelter next winter; no farmerwho raises hogs extensively can affora to be without shelter for hisanimals. Prof. W. A. nenry, in "Feedsand Feeding," says that the KansasExperiment Station tested the valueof shelter during the winter monthswhen the thermometer ranged from12 degrees below to 31 degrees abovezero, witn the result that the pigskept in the barn consumed 2,878pounds of feed and made a total gainof 604 pounds, which means that for100 pounds of gain 476 pounds of feedwere required. The pigs kept in theopen yard consumed 2.SS4 pounds offeed and made a total gain of 479pounds, requiring 593 pounds of feedfor each 100 pounds of gain. It willbe seen, therefore, that there is aconsiderable difference in favor ofthe shelter. Farmer's Home Journal.

berton. The courthouse was lightedup and seemed full of people and theboys were rapping and calling fot"Arp," "Bill Arp." The preacher unloaded me near by, and told mt togo upstairs and open th ball while hewent home to put up his horse. AsI hurried in the door the doorkeeperstopped me and said: "Hold on, myfriend, you haven't paid." I modestljtold him that I was the speaker"Oh, yes," said he, "maybe you areand maybe you ain't. Several othermen have tried to pass on that sched--ule. I reckon vnn had hptter nav"So I paid a half dollar to go in andhear myself talk, but I got half of itback when we divided proceeds.

Now, I don't know that Nancy couldread or write, but she could shootand in war times that is better. Atany rate Georgians are proud of herand her great-grandso- n, Tom Lee,Las never tarnished the name or fameof the family. When John Randolphboasted of his ancestral blood, Tris-ta- m

Burgess, of Iihode Island, his bit-ter enemy, rose up to say that goodconduct in posterity was of more consequence than good blood in ancestors. "I have great respect," saidhe, "for the gentleman's English bloodand his Indian blood, but he shouldremember that he is removed fromthem by several generations, andthat only one-sixty-four- th part ofLord IJolfe or Pocahontas bloodflows in his veins. That is not muchto boast of. The rest is widely scat- -

tered, diluted and degenerated." Burgess and Randolph had many spatslike that, but they never came toblows.

There never was a time in the southland when so much eager interest wamanifested in tracing up ancestr-y-lineage. I receive letters almost dailyfrom good people, from Carolina toTexa, asking for help to trace up andprove their claim to join the Sons orDaughters of the Revolution or toservice of their father or grandfatherin the civil war of 40 years ago. Thegenealogical department of the Constitution and George Smith's weeklycontributions to The Journal are do-

ing valuable and interesting work onthese lines.

There is one other line that hasbeen shamefully neerlected. From firstto last there were near 90.000 Georgiasoldiers in the confederate army, andyet there is no record of themneither in the counties nor the statenor at Washington. I do not supposethere are ten in 100 of these soldierswhose children or grandchildren ornear relatives can prove themselves,Col. Avery did the best he could tomake up a roll of each regiment andname the officers and the captains ofthe companies, but there is no roll ofthe men nor a record of who waskilled. Some companies changed theircaptains from three to eight times.butwhat became of those who droppedout? Col. Avery says: "The following list is painfully imperfect. It wastaken from the confederate war rec-ords at Washington, D. C, and fromthe meager documents in the Georgiaarchives and such personal information as could be had. The war department of the confederacy was mostlooselj- - run. Regimental muster rollswere mingled and confused: the constantly occurring changes were notnoted."

Now, ask any old soldier, Can youprove your service by any undoubtedevidence? Is there any record thatyou can go to two years ago uov.Canaier alluded to this shameful neglect in his message and urgc?d the appointment of some one to gather upand make a record of these Georgiasoldiers before the witnesses were alldead, but nothing was done. Whydo not the veterans demand it? Itwould cost but little perhaps thesalary of a good man for a year. Thechildren and grandchildren of thesesoldiersareinterested and have a rightto demand the preservation and recordof their father's or grandfather's honorable service. Why not? Will therebe enough veterans or patriotism inthe next legislature to see to this andhave established a muster roll somekind of a roll that the humblest citizencan point to as the hall of fame?

FORBIDDEN NEGATIVES.

Some Interesting; Particulars Resrardintr the Taking of Pic-tar- es

of Royalty.The routine of taking royal photo-

graphs is something like this: Thephotographer, in the first place, mustbe a man of established reputation,and as probably several are writingat once each gets a sitting in turn.The reply makes a regular appoint-ment, say at Marlborough house,Sandringham or Windsor and on theday appointed the artist attends withhis apparatus and one or two assist-ants says Pearson's Weekly.

After a few minutes' wait in anouter room he is conducted into thepresence of the roj'al personagewhose personal attendants have seento it that everything is in readinessfor the taking of the photograph inthe room. .Most royal personages,particularly our king, are experienc-ed sitters thanks to the enormousnumber of times they have been pho-tographed and the actual operationis very quickly over. Next comes thedeveloping of the negative, the "re-touching," and when at last the proofis ready it is taken to the palace bythe photographer for royal sanction.

You would be amaaed If you knewthe number of condemned negatives,for the slightest suspicion of lack ofdignity or frivolous appearance isenough to condemn the negative tothe shelves of the studio for ever.Very rarely, indeed is one of ourroyal family photographed smiling,much less laughing though the well-know- n

portrait of her late majestyQueen Victoria, was a very conspicu-ous exception to this rule. That,however, was a snapshot taken by anamateur. Someyears ago a photo-graph was taken of Princess Maud ofWales, who, just as the exposure wasbeing made, laughed heartily at someremark her sister had made, and theresulting picture was instantly con-demned by our present queen.

Importance of Xlearulnr Wter Spply to Grow ins Crops Can Not

Be Overestimated.

The importance of a regular watersupply to growing crops is due to twofacts. First, plants secure littlemoisture directly from the air, andyet water is the life, the blood of theplant. Practically the entire supplymust P Obtained irom tn soithrough the action of the roots. Second, all soil food enters the plant insolution, the plant always drinksnever eats, and water is the indispensable solvent.

Most of the water thus enteringthe plant is evaporated from theleaves, the quantity being enormousA crop of corn requires about thirtysix times its weight in water duringits growing period and an acre ofcabbage will evaporate five millionpounds in the same time. So indispensable is the sufficient supply ofwater to the plant that a slight de-

ficiency is noted by wilting,and if thedemand is not made good or the wilt--incr continues withering and deathfollow.

Not only do crops exhale enormousquantities of water, but evaporationfrom the surface of the soil goes onconstantly wherever the air is dryerthan the soil, which is practically atall times except during rains

In all soils there is at some deptha permanent and inexhaustible supply of water. This water constantlyrises to the surface by capillary action and is then not only adequatebut available.

To protect the crop from droughtall that is necessary is to prevent thewaste of this water supply by stopping its escape into the air. Mulchlng effectively does this, but It is notpracticable over large areas

The principle or law controlling themovement of soil waters, however,furnishes the means for accomplish-ing the desires end, namely, checkingevaporation

The upward movement of water depends upon the compactness of thesoil the closeness together of itsparticles. The closer the particlesthe more rapidly and quickly watermoves from one to the other till thesurface of the soil is reached. Thegreater the distance between soilparticles the greater difficulty of themovement and the smaller the quantity of water moving.

Therefore in times of droughtwhen water is needed and the supplyin the soil should be husbanded, theplow and all implements stirring thelower arable soil, or bringing it tothe surface where it dries, snould b,ssedulously "kept from the field.

Not only this, but since thoroughpulverization of the surface soils ren-ders the same more porous and theparticles farther apart, so that themovement of the water is checked,frequent shallow surface cultivationwith the weeder, cultivator or sweepshould be practiced, and the resultwill be to stop evaporation of soil wa-ter and the holding of the same beneath the fine "dust blanket" pro-duced on the surface, through whichthe water can not pass and escape into the air and be lost to the crop.

The amount of water thus shownto be daily saved to an acre of soil byshallow cultivation has in careful ex-periments approximated 130 barrels.Was there ever a drought so severethat this' amount of water given tothe crop daily would not have rendered a good harvest certain? Themethod requires no new tools, butsimply the reversal of a commonpractice. It is universally followedby thousands of successful farmers,but it is too frequently neglectedwhere the idea of the use of the plowhas descended from generations ofcotton growers to whom it was chief-ly a weapon for fighting grass. H. E.Stockbridge, in Farm and Ranch.

POULTRY ON THE FARM.

Essential Points to Be RememberedBy the Farmer Who Raises

Ponltry.

There are three classes of poultry- -men; fancy, commercial and farm.The fancy poultryman is born so. Heis in the business because he likes it.He follows the bent of his inclinations as to selection, and is originalin his management. He is usuallya success, for if he foots up short inmoney receipts he balances the ac-count with the item of satisfaction,and runs along in a contented, happygroove, an object of envy and a bene-factor to his race.

The commercial poultryman is inthe business for the money. He isusually a specialist; or if he is engaged in anything else it is subordi-nate to poultry. HLs location is neara good market, or a convenient shipping point. He usually has privatecustomers for his output, and thusrealizes the very highest prices. Hestudies breeds and breeding, feedsand feeding, considering his fowls asmachines which are to work up rawproducts intothe finished article forthe market. He, too, is generally suc-cessful, for he goes about his busi-ness systematically, accurately count-ing costs and profits. His businessmethods are to be commended, andhis example emulated.

The bulk of the poultry outputcomes from the farm, where it re-ceives the least attention and yieldsthe smallest profit. With cheap land,and cheap feed and cheap labor, it ispossible to realize the very largestreturns here. There is no stock onthe farm that brings in as largeprofits in proportion to the amountof money invested as poultry, with allits mismanagejnent; and nothing willrespond so liberally to good care andsystematic treatment. There shouldbe some definite aim in view if largerflocks are kept than are sufficient forhome demand. If there is a good market near, work for eggs and fries forprivate customers; if not, raise fowlsfor the winter market. Hens, geeseand turkeys may be grown in largenumbers to good .advantage. One va-riety is usually enough on the farm.Study circumstances and surround-ings, then select a suitable breed. Apure breed alw&3-- s has its distin-guishing points more prominently de-veloped than any cross, and will usu- -
