Farmer Kills Two Negroes.
Early Sunday morning Joe and Toll¬
man liarues, negroes, aroused J. B.
Morgan, a white farmer, living near
Augusta, by knocking on his front
door. Morgan's suspicions were arous¬
ed and lie went through the rear oi
and around the house, finding one ne¬
gro standing on the steps with a
drawn revolver and the other crouch¬
ed by the door with a knife.
The negro was ordered by Morgan
to drop liis pistol, but attempted to
fire. He was shot dead by Morgan.
Joe Barnes then rushed upon Morgan
with his knife and was fatally wound¬
ed by a second shot from the farmer.

Ready for School Exhibits.
State School Commissioner Merritt
announces that the educational build¬
ing at the Jamestown exposition has
been completed, and that the man¬
agement is now ready to place all ex¬
hibits that might be sent.
This building was delayed in con¬
struction, but work on it was hurried
so as to make room for the education¬
al exhibits. They will be the largest
and most complete, perhaps, ever
shown at an exposition in this coun¬
try.
Commissioner Merritt is especially
anxious that the state be well repre¬
sented educationally at the exposition
and he urges that those who can send
exhibits right away so that they may
be given good space.
Orders Cotton from England.
A Georgia cotton mill has taken a
step rarely heard of in the history
of the cotton trade. This mill has
just ordered 560 hales of cotton ship¬
ped back from Liverpool, at an ex¬
pense of nearly 2 cents a pound more
than the market price in this country.
It is claimed the order was placed
as a result of the scarcity of unsold
raw cotton in this country. Cotton
lias been shipped back to the country
from Liverpool to New York and New
Orleans for speculative purposes, but
so far as is known this is the first
instance in which a mil! has had to
place abroad an order for the Ameri¬
can staple.
Dispute Over County Line.
There is a heated row on between
Baldwin and Jones counties, which
will have to be settled by Secretary of
State Philip Cook. This dispute, over
the county line, is of long standing,
and is said to involve about
acres of vluable land, valuable at
for the purposes of taxation.
About two years ago, the governor
apiioiiited Iloyal Smith to survey the
county line between Baldwin and
Jones, with a view to seeing if the
dispute could not be settled. Mr. Smith
gave quite a slice of tile laud claim¬
ed bv Jones to Baldwin, whereat Jones
entered emphatic protest.
Still determined on conciliation H
possible, the governor appoint, d C. C.
Anderson of Bibb county to survey llie
Haldwin-Jones line. Mr. Anderson, it
seems, gave Baldwin county about
500 acres more than di.l Mr. Smith,
and Jones county's kick became more
vigorouo than be; are. lir. Anderson
only recently filed his tvport, and as
a result of Jones' protest the case
will have to go before the secretary
of stc; * for judicial dcleraiiua.iou.
Scaie-Infected Trees Burned.
At a meeting of the state entomo¬
logical board, held at the eapitol, a
few days ago, the recent action of
State Enoiuologist li. I. Smith, in
condemning and ordering burned
peach trees in the orchard of Dr.
J. A. Johnson of Gordon county was
approved.
This action probably means a test
in the courts of the legal extent to
which the state entomologist can go in
proi.ee.ing the orchards of the state
against pests. An examination of Dr.
Johnson's orehhard showed it to be
infested with ban Jose scale. He was
directed to spray liis trees in accord¬
ance with the rules laid down by the
department. This he refused to do.
Tota! Ccct of Gordon Monument.
Tho Gordon monument commission
has settled up practically ail of its in¬
debtedness, and the sculptor, Solon 11.
Borgium, has been paid in full, except
for the bronze bas-reliefs, which are
to go on the sides of the pedestal/and
which have no yet been made. These
will cost about $i,iJOO. The total cost
of the monument and pedestal was
$18,400. This does not include any of
the incidental expenses or the bas
reliefs, which will bring the total cost
to about $23,000. Even at that the
Gordon monument was erected for
$7,000 less than the Wade Hampton
monument and $13,000 less than the
General Forrest monument at Nash¬
ville.

FOR MORE FARMERS
President Makes Urgent Plea
at College Celebration.
COMMENDS ALL TOILERS
Agricultural Colleges of the Country
Are Boosted and Boys Are Urged
to Pay More Attention to *
Scientific Methods.
Speaking upon the topic, "The Man
Who Works with His Hands,” Presi¬
dent Voosevefi. said, in part:
"The fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of this c'/Hge is an event
national significance, for Michigan
was the first state in the union to
found this, the first agricultural col¬
lege in America. The nation is to be
on the fact that the
at Washington has repeated¬
ly enacted laws designed to aid the
states in establishing and
agricultural and mechani¬
colleges.
“For at least a generation we* have
been waking to the knowledge* that
in us. ho additional education be¬
that provided in the* public
as it is managed today. Our
system has hitherto been well
wholly lacking on the side of in¬
dustrial training, of the training
which fits a man for the shop and the
We of the United States must
a system under which each
citizen shall be trained so
to be effective individually as an
unit, and lit to be organized
liis . fellows so that he and they
work in efficient fashion together.
"But it is a curious thing that in
training we have tended to
our energies to produce high
men at the top rather than in
ranks. Our engineering schools,
instance, compare favorably with
best in Europe, whereas we have
almost nothing to equip the pri
soldiers of the industrial army—
mechanic, the metal worker, the
indeed, too often our
train away from the shop and
forge; and this fact,"together with
abandonment of the old appren¬
system, has resulted in such an
of facilities for providing
journeymen that in many of
trades almost all the recruits
the workmen are foreigners.
this means that there mus: be
systematic method provided for
young men in the trades, and
this must be co-ordinated with
public school system.
"There is but one person whose wel¬
fare is as vital to the welfare of the
whole country as is that of the wage
worker who does manual labor, and
is the tiller of the soil—the far
mer. if there is one lesson taught by
it is that of the permanent
of any state must ultimate¬
ly depend more upon the character of
its country jiopulation than, upon any¬
thing else. *
"Ambitious native-born young men
and women who now tend away from
the farm must be brought back to it,
and therefore they must have social
as well as economic opo,rtunities. Kv
erything should be done to encourage
the growth in the open farming coun¬
try of such institutional and social
movements as will meet the demand
of the best type of farmers. There
should be libraries, assembly halls, so¬
cial organizations of all kinds. The
school building and the teacher in the
school building should, throughout the
country districts, he of the very high¬
est type, able to fit the boys and girls
not merely to live in, but thoroughly
to enjoy and to make the most of the
country. The country church must be
revived. All kinds of agencies, from
rural free delivery^to the bicycle and
the telephone, should should he he utilized utilized to to
the utmost; good roads should be fa¬
vored; everything should be done to
mane it easier for the farmer to lead
the most active and effective intellec¬
tual, political and economic life.
"The farmer must prepare for using
the knowledge that can be obtained
through agricultural colleges by in¬
sisting upon a constantly more practi¬
cal curriculum in the schools in which
his children are taught. He must not
lose his independence, his initiative,
his rugged self-sufficiency; and yet he
must learn to work in the heartiest
co-operation wi.h his fellows.

The state introduced three witness¬

qr|2ZLY VETERANS
Of the Lost Cause Gather in
Reunion at Richmond.
WELCOME ENTHUSIASTIC
Seventeenth Annual Meeting of Old
Heroes Largest Since the War.
City Gaily Bedecked for
the Occasion.
With the largest number of Confed¬
erate veterans gathered together
since the war, and the vast horse
show building, in which the conven¬
tion was held, beautiful with flags and
bunting and portraits of the leaders
of the Confederacy, the seventeenth
annual reunion of the Confederate
Veterans began at Richmond, Va.,
Thursday morning under the most au¬
spicious conditions.
When, at ten o’clock, General Stith
Bolling, acting temporarily fur Gen¬
eral Lee, called the convention to or¬
der, almost every chair in the build¬
ing was occupied and the benches
around the sides of ihe hall were fill¬
ed with the surviving remnants of
the glorious army of the Confeder¬
acy.
General Bolling introduced Rev. J.
William Jones, chaplain general of
the grand camp, who presented Rev.
Dr. J. J. Gravatt of Richmond and
the latter offered the opening prayer.
Governor Swanson of Virginia, amid
the wildest enthusiasm, welcomed the
veterans to the Old Dominion.
Mayor McCarthy of Richmond wel¬
comed the visitors to the city, which
forty-five* years ago they defended
against the armies of Burnside, Pops,
McCleilan, Sheriifan 'and Grant.
B. li. Morgan of tile local camp
of Sons of Veterans added the wel¬
come of those he represents to the
welcomes which already had been ex¬
pressed.
General Bolling introduced the com
mander-in-chief of the Confederate
Veterans, General Stephen D. Leo,
anil the old soldiers rose to their
fri t and received him witlt the ut¬
most enthusiasm. General Lee assum¬
ed the gavel of the presiding officer
and delivered his annual address.
He said, among other things, that
the coming of a confederate to Rich¬
mond was like the return of a long
absent child to its mother—that Rich
»mond is to the Confederate what Ca¬
lais was to that French prince who
compelled to live in England, said:
“When I die you will find engraved
on my heart the one word,’Calais.’ ”
At noon the first session of the re¬
union adjourned for the veterans to
take part in the unveiling of the
equestrian statue of General J. E. 15.
Stuart, erected by the Cavalry As¬
sociation of the army of northern Vir¬
ginia.
The parade incident to this cere¬
mony started at 2 p. m., and was a
brilliant pageant. The weather was
beautiful and ihe display was witness¬
ed by a vast concourse estimated to
number 75,000 to 80,000.
The people were packed along the
whole course of the parade, a dis¬
tance of about two miles, on the side¬
walks, on the porches and in the
windows of the buildings on both sides
of the street.
The whole number in line and on
the sidewalks is estimated at from
12-5,000 to 150,000-. There were about
10,000 actual veterans in the city. Of
Sons of Veterans and other auxiliary
bodies, military, etc., there were
about 20.000, and in addition to these
there were about 20,000 visitors
drawn to the city by the reqnion cer¬
emonies. ’

Texas—More Than a Foot Deep.
One of the worst hailstorms that
ever visited Texas prevailed in the vi¬

roofs torn off and trees stripped of
leaf and iinib.
Ten thousand acres of growing
crops were completely ruined. The
hail was more than a foot deep river

Handed Out by President Roosevelt in
Speech at Unveiling of Gen. Law
ton Monument in Indianapolis.
President Roosevelt was the prin¬
cipal speaker in Indianapolis Thurs¬
day at the decoration day exercises
and the unveiling of the Lawton mon¬
ument. As was generally anticipated,
the president took advantage of the
opportunity to discuss exhaustively
the national railway situation and to
outline the administration’s program
of regulation and control.
The speaker was greeted by an
audience of several thousand people
from Indianapolis and the surround¬
ing territory. Enthusiasm manifested
itself in continuous cheering, as the
president spoke in the most
tic terms of the railway situation, de
daring emphatically that there was
no occasion for alarm or uneasiness,
and that the administration proposed
holding the balance of justice ex¬
actly even as between the carriers
and the people. In part he said:
"For more than one reason 1 am
peculiarly glad that this year I speak
on memorial day in the state of In¬
diana. There is not another class of
our citizens to whom we owe so
much as to the veterans of the great
war. To them it was given to per¬
form tho one feat with which no
other feat can be compared, for to
them it was given to preserve the
union. 41^
“You have left a country so genu¬
inely reunited that all of us now, in
whatever part of this union we live,
have a right to feel the keenest pride,
not only in the valor and self-devo¬
tion of you, the galiaut men who
wore tho blue, but also in the valor
and self-devotion of your gallant op¬
ponents who wore the gray.
‘•The hero whose tnonument we to¬
day unveil, by his life, bore singular
testimony to the completeness of the
reunion. General Lawton, in his you h,
fought gallantly in the civil war.
Thirty-three years afterward he again
marched to war, this time against
a foreign foe, and served with dis¬
tinguished ability and success as a
general officer, both in Cuba, and in
tin* Philippines. When he thus served
it was in an armtv whose generals
included not only many of his old
comrades in arms, hut some of his old
opponents also, as General Wheeler
and General Fitzhugh Lee. Under him
—both among the commissioned olli
eers and in the ranks—-were many
men whose fathers had worn the blue
serving side by side with others
whose fathers had worn the gray ;
but all Americans now, and noth¬
ing but Americans, all united in their
fealty and devotion to their common
flag and their common country.”
Reverting to the issues of the day,
the president said in part:
"Great social and industrial prob¬
lems confront us, and their solution
demands on our part unfaltering coin¬
age, and yet a wise, good-natured self
restraint; so that on the one hand
we shall neither he daunted by dif¬
ficulties nor fooled by those who
would seek to persuade us that the
difficulties are insuperable; while on
the other hand wo are not piisled
into showing either rashness or vin¬
dictiveness.
"One great problem that, we have
before us is to preserve the rights
of property; and these can only he
preserved if we remember that they
are in less jeopardy from the social
is, and the anarchist than from the
predatory rich man.
“Every federal law dealing with
corporations or with railroads that
has been put upon the statute books
during the last six years has been a
step in advance in tho right direction.
"There can be no swerving from
the course that lias been thus mapped
out in the legislation actually enact
ed and in the messages in which I
have asked for further legislation. \Ve
best serve the interests of the honest
railway r -n when we announce that
we will follow out precisely this
course. It is the course of real, of
ultimate conservatism.”

COTTON CROP IN BAD WAY
Is Assertion of President of Georgia
Seed Crushers' Association.
"Reports from all sections of the
south, as given by the members of
the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers’
Association at Jamestown last week,’
said I.. A. Ransom, newly elected
president of that organization, who
has returned to Atlanta, “indicate.that
the cotton crop of the south is today
worse off than it. has been at tliia
time of the season in years, in fact,
wo got such distressing reports as
to the necessity for replanting that
tho association passed resolutions
pledging (tie various cotton seed oil
mills in the association to furnish
cotton seed at a moderate cost for
replanting from our supply on hand
for crushing.
"W’e realize,what a poor condition
the crop is in and how hard it is
going to be to get a stand, and are
very anxious to help the planters in
every way possible. These reports
were not formal, but came from ev¬
ery one of tile 600 delegates at this
convention from every cotton-growing
state in the union.
Mr. Ransom is enthusiastic ever the
convention and declares it ihe most
successful ever held. He states Hint
Dr. li. W. Wiley, the head of. llics
United States pure rood commission,
made the association a talk, in which
he declared the south could, noi con¬
ceive the possibilities in eo ton seed
j oil and its by-products, which com
[ modify is now in its infancy. Hon.
| J. M. Carson, chief of the bureau of
manufacturers in the department o:
commerce and labor, was also a guest,
and speaker. He read a specially pre¬
pared pamphlet, which gave reports
from all of the Untied Stales consuls
on the subjec, of this great southern
product, which had Inin compil'd for
this association through the oliiei s of
j the state department, Benton it was of through Geor¬
him that Hon. .1. L.
j gia was appointed United Sta report es ex¬
j pert abroad and his. first on
{ tb(> market for cotton seed oil and its
| hv-products was r ad at this meet¬
ing.
Mr. Ransom states that otic of ;he
chief changes i.i the rules, as adopt¬
ed by the convention, was win-re by
tin- food value of cotton seed lie a!
giving the protein and fat percent¬
age in addition to the ammonia value
for export trade. This do : not af¬
fect home commodity, but is. simply
additional information for the export.
The Georgia delegation with its
special train has returned to the state
and this was followed by special train ;
from Texas, Tennessee and Hou ii Car
olina. The place for the next meeting
will be decided by the executive com¬
mittee at a later date. It will lie an¬
nounced from Atlanta, the headquar¬
ters of the association.
