The Hobson and Handley debate at the Grand Opera House on
June Bth will be the feature of the Chautauqua week. A large gather
ing from the surrounding towns is expected as the opportunity to hear
such great debaters of national reputation is rarely presented to the pec
ple of smaller cities.
The Ohio State Primaries on Tuesday, last, probably eliminated
Mr. Taft as a presidential possibility. Mr. Roosevelt received 38 dele
gates, and Mr. Taft only 10 from the State.
The result of the Democratic Primary in Ohio gave Mr. Harmon
40 and Mr. Wilson 8 delegates to the Natiosial Convention.

Great interest is being manifested by all of our best citizens in
the coming Chautauqua. Season Tickets are being freely purchased and
reserved seats will in all probability be at a premium during the entire
week. The seating capacity of the Grand Opera House is about 1,500
and there is no doubt but that every number on the program will be
witnessed by a full attendance.

Efforts to Bring Trouble Between Thos. E.
- Watson And Underwood Men
Completely Fail.
The various grand, g‘\l:o‘o'iny and peculiar efforts to precipitate a
row between Thomas E, ‘Watson and his Underwood friends in Geor
gia seem completely to have falled.
There is nothing whatever doing in the row business, and it looks

Mr. MME ndi-’hunting' _trouble, and hasn’t been hunting it,
He never has been known to run from a row that seemed determined
%o come his wry, and he has been known to go down into the gate
and meet trouble on the threshold thereof. But invariably when he
has fought or elected to fight, there has been something real ard sub
st;ntnl in sight to fight for and about,

their worst to make “‘the red-headed person” 1 he has disap
pointed them beautifully so far at every turn rds.
Anticipating their efforts to embarrass b household of
his friends, Mr, Watson did call a meeting ofnds in Atlanta
for the night before the election, in order that they might be
; prepared for any steam-roller tactics that som¢ight try next
‘day—which was natural enough, as Mr. Watscarry, rundoubt
edly, many scars upon his body, not alwale reminders of
wounds inflicted upon him in the past by dil sundry *‘city |
politicians” here and there,
PRO-WATSON MEETING ¢
[ And the meeting will be held, too, for Mr.i realizes that
e must be on his guard against insidious attac|the outside far
more alertly than it will be necessary in the preisis to guard
against foes from within.
' As the interesting Watson situation framioday, the only
person who possibly might head Mr. Watson ais ambition to
sit in the national convention is Mr. Watson h If he should
come to Atlanta with a chip on his shoulders, sifor .a fight and
determined to have it, he will get'it. The sam¢may be said of
any delegate to the state convention. i
HOW FIGHN MUST COME. | !
To bring the question of Mr, Watson’s eias a delegate at
large into serious dispute before the conventic of two things
must happen: Either Mr, Watson must precipitideliberately, or
some delegate of recognized prominence and st must pre-ipi-
tate it against him, |
If Mr, Watsan brings it on, the outoome woufrankly proble
matical; if somebody else brings it on, the outccpractically sure
to be decidedly in Mr. Watson’s favor. |
| From the standpoint of things as they seem ljust themselves
todoy, the fortt.comig state Democeatic conventiil be an enthusi
astic affair but largely devoid of the spectacular, :
Watson is coming and Watson is goiug altimore, ucless
Watson himself shall veto both or either propot
. THE CONVENTION,
As stated in The Georgian several days ago, state convention
will not be held, as has been customary, in the of the house of
representatives,
It was realized & week or more ago by thoseng the matter in
charge that & very large hall must be procured, i delegates were
to be.accommodated in any sort of comfort, not nention the gen
eral public. The matter finally simmered down 4 choice between
the Auditorium-Armory and the Grand opera h, and the latter
has been decided upon, i !
The first Joe Brown convention was held e Grand Opera
house, and it was one of the biggest and happiever held in the
state.—Atlanta Georgian. - T

Urges Farmers To
Diversify Farming
There is no reason why the peo
ple in thissection of the State should
not be able to diversify sufficiently
to enable them to reduce the cotton
acreage and still maintain the earn
ing power of their farms.
PEANUTS should be an excellent
crop for them to grow as climatic
conditions are favorable to their
cultivation. The peanut likes rath
er a sandy soil. You should use
from 1000 to 2000 lbs. of lime per
acre with a formula running high in
phosphorus and potash, but rather
low in nitrogen. If the farmers
would raise peanuts in considerable
numbers there would be no trouble
in disposing of the crop on a cash
basis. Of course, if only.one farmer
raised 100 bushels of peanuts, buy
ers would not come to investigate a
project of this kind, but if 100
farmers were to raise 500 or 1,000
bushels each, then the buyers would
quickly come to the source of supe
ply.
- PEANUTS may be used as the ba
sis of market for pork products in
all parts of Georgia at renumerative
prices for cash.
There is no reason why the SWEET
POTATO crop should not be grown
on a much more extensive scale
than it is now done. There is a
dearth of sweet potatoes in practi
cally all markets except possibly
one season of the year—the late
Summer or early Fall. It may be
gathered satisfactorily,.and the cost
of the equipment needed is very
modest indeed.
In this section TRUCKING can be
practiced to good advantage, Cab
bage, cauliflower, beets, collards,
onions, spinach and other hardy
crops in the early Fall can be plaa
ted. They should be ready for ship
ment in January or February at
remunerative prices. The market
is practically bate of fresh vegetables
at this season of the year.
