Special to The Georgian.
Rome, Qa., Aug. 7.—The Farmers'
Union of Floyd county has gone on
record as opposed to any drastic legis
lation prohibiting automobiles from
traveling on the public highways of
the state. '
As a very sensible reason for op
posing any severely restrictive measure
the Floyd county union holds that no
factor has been or will be so Important
In the development of good roads as
automobiles. The union realises that
any bill that will prevent automobiles
from running on the public highways
of the. stdte—and they hold that meas
ures now pending In the Georgia legis
lature will have that effect practically—
will seriously retard the good roads
movement In the state.
It Is understood that this Is the gen
eral sentiment of the union all over the
state, nnd the action of the Floyd coun
ty union will probably be followed by
a similar stand by all of the county
organisations.

FARMERS’ UNION WEEKLY
DISCUSSES IMMIGRA TION
The offldal organ of 'the Farmers'
Union In Georgia, The Union Newn, ed
ited by State President R. F. Duck
worth. In the current number takes
further Issue with Governor Hoke
Smith on the question of foreign Im
migration.
This editorial calls attention to the
Interview given out by Governor 8mlth
Just aftsr his return from Europe, and
In comment says:
"The Farmers’ Union has dalmed at
all times that It would not line up with
anybody for their political advance'
ment. but It held Itself open to com'
mend or criticise whom and where It
pleased.
"The l
members of the Farmers'

campaign, and wo are still with the
governor when we believe him to be
right, but we are against him when we
believe him to be wrong. Just as we
are with any other man that we believe
to be right, and opposed to him when
we believe he is In error.
"The Fanners' Union has made
strong fight In opposition to the move
ment to bring foreign Immigrants to
Georgia. We are thoroughly convinced
~int we arc right on thli
"We recognise the fact
enter may be wrong honestly, because
we know that the governor has not had
the experience In actual farming that
he haa had In the practice of law, and
If this was some question which It re
qulred a lawyer to understand, wi
would give deference to the opinion of
the governor, but this Is a question
which Involves actual contact with the
handlers of manual labor, and we are
persuaded to believe that the farmers
and laborers of Georgia know more
about this question than men engaged
In any other pursuit. We are eo
thoroughly convinced of this that we
dare to fight our governor's policy on

to abide the decision of the masses of
the people' on this question, but as yet

DRINKING TOO MUCH,
they will promptly relieve the causes,
he has not seen fit to do to.
"The governor seems to hnve been
misled Into the belief that to raise more
cotton would cause the mllla to in
crease their manufacturing capacity
and thereby Increase the consumption
of raw material. We are sorry that
the governor has allowed the manufac.
turlng plutocrats to poison his mind
with any such an Idea.
"Hon. Thomas E. Watson has pre
sented the only proposition for the In
creased consumption of raw material,
and his proposition Is to tear down
the tariff wall around our Southern
monopoly and thereby force the man
ufacturers of the United States to cease
their robbing the South of millions of
dollars annually.
"We believe that the governor has a
right to his opinion, but we do not be
lieve that the governor or any other
public official has the right to use
the Influences of his good office to car
ry through the legislature any bill to
which the masses of the people are op
posed, nnd It would be refreshing In
