Mr. Webb was here at the meeting which wss held In the sum' mer and he was very much pleased with the enthusiasm amtfSg the farmers. He thinks that another meeting would draw a large crowd* of farmers from all over the Elev enth District and the benefit from would be far reach- organization.

And If the question of moving the capitol should ibe sprung at the next legislature, which Is. not at all Improbable, there will to a certain ty be numerous representatlvesWho will be right Jump. Hon. ■tor. instate anyone, least of all Atlanta, by throwing all his influence in Its fa vor. But because It would mean an enormoiis expense to the state, and would necessitate a more or leas disorganized condition of the state's affairs for a considerable pe riod, and because the Immediate advantage to be derived would not be considerable, there doesn’t seem to be any reasonable prospect of the captol being moved, at leaat In the near future Whether the capitol Is ever mov ed, or not moved, however, It Is In teresting to figure on what tho state houso would be good for In case It should.
