B. Rountree, oP Boston, Thomas county, was a visitor at the rapitol Monday and called on Agri cultural Commissioner Hudson. Mr. Rountree has represented his county In the legislature for several years, but declined to enter the race for the assembly of 1907-8. Ills particular business with Commissioner Hudson was relative to tho meat inspection laws which go into effect January 1. “We are raising lots of hogs In our section of the country." he said. “For Instance last year I handled 70,000 pounds of meat raised by farmers of Thomas, Brooks and surrounding coun ties. I shipped the bulk of this meat to Florida, and we are building up a fine business on this Georgia - raised product. “Under the new law <ve cannot ship meat out of the state unless it lias the government inspection tag on It. farmer producing the meat can'ah Ip It without the inspection, but u dealer cannot. I guess the thing for us to do Is to sell our incut In Georgia. I be lieve we vitn do It. “Fanners In my section .alne peanuts by the acres and turn their hogs loose in the fields. Peanuts are very line food for them, and can be raised very cheaply, one smalt farmer I know raised 25,000 pounds of meat lust year.” Mr. Rountree agrees with Commis sioner Hudson In the statement that farmers generally over the state are in a had way this year. He attributes it to adverse conditions for farming. In creased cost of raising cotton, the labor problem and failure of fanners to di versify hi their crops. • “Within the past few days Sea Island or long staple cotton has gone from 25 to 35 crits per pound," so hi Mr. Roun tree. “The crop Is short and the qual ity of the stuplo poor. I bought four hales from one man a few' days ago. I paid him 27 cents a pound. Next day 1 sold It for 29, ami If I’d held It another day could have hud C4.“ CLICK Of TICKER •FOR BROKERS DIES WITH END OF YEAR Now that the first of the New Year Is approaching, preparations are being made by many of the wire houses, or bucket shops, In Atlanta to close up shop. In accordance with the new Boy kin law, prohibiting the selling of fu tures after January 1, 1007. While most of those in charge of the Atlanta houses admit that they will take down their signs and silence the telegruph tickers before that date, there a few who look wise when ques tinned, and say they are not prepared to make any answer ut present as their future Intentions. Some have been advised that the law is no good and will not stand a test in the courts, and though some bucket shop Backer* are inclined to keep open shop and fight the law In the courts, n announcement of any such Intention hus yet been made. Hardly a manager of one of these houses cun be found who will admit his house is a bucket shop. Hut it is an easy task to find out whether or not hi. Is a bucket shop by ascertaining what outfit he represents, if Ids principals are members of legitimate exchanges In New York, Philadelphia or C’hlcug- It may safely he deduced that Ids house fs on the Icjritlmutc order.
