The next speaker on the program was to have been Charles S. Barrett, but in his absence, the chair introduced former Gov. Hok* Smith, whose subject was “Why. We Are Here.” Prolonged are plause greeted his appearance. “We are here,” said the speaker, “be cause of that spirit of progress, of ad vancement. of energy that characterizes the south of today. I believe in publicity and I want to see more white men in the south, {jet Massachusetts do all the ex perimenting she wants with the negro, but let her do it there, and give ns some of her good white laborers in return. “We are on the eve of an era of un precedented prosperity. We pass ed away from the hampering effects of the civil war and have reached the day when the white man of the south prides himself upon the skill of his hands in fashioning the work of his daily Jif* no less than upon the cultivation of his mind. “We in the south can do as miich as any other section in agricultural pro ducts. Not considering cotton, we can raise corn and wheat and potatoes as fine and plentifully as any section of the world. We have the iron, the coal and the har<| wood. And above all. cot ton. Ail the raw material, and enough water power to run all the manufac turing Institutions of the world. ’But we must have schools, to de velop the skill df our boys, so that we can produce from our soil all it is ca pable of, and to ship these to the world manufactured and ready for use. “The association will give the oppor tunity for co-operation necessary to reach this end. It will teach our people what they can and will accomplish. Our people must be aroused to an intensity of pur pose to achieve all that they can in the development of ’ our south. “f b-lieve in publicity. We broaden our market for cotton, help intensify obser vation, help increase values. When we let the world know that we have cheap land that can be made to pay for itself four-fold in a short time, then we bring inestimable blessings upon our portion of the country. “When we let the sturdy white people •of other parts of our country know these things, they will pour in until some day we shall see the south the white man's home.” The speaker closed with an eloquent tribute to the men of the south in days past, and urged the young men of today to emulate in their way. their fathers in the battle for helping the cause of ad- I vancement in southern agriculture. | PROFESSOR SOUDE’S ADDRESS. 1 Following the address of Gov. Hoke Smith. Prof. A. M. Soule, of the Georgia College of Agriculture, spoke upon “What Education is Doing for Agriculture in the South.” Professor Soule apologized for the condensed manner in whicli his speech would necessarily be presented, owing to the brevity of the time allotted to him. but there was no occasion for this. No man in the south is better fit ted for the discussion of this phase of agricultural matters, and his address was received with much applause by his it«- ! terested auditors. ; Professor Soule poitned out graphical i ly what has been done in the past for , agriculture b.v education in the south, i and to the unlimited possibilities pre isented thereby for the future. He said ! that tliis education is absolutely nec essary to prosperity in generations to i come, but that with it. the riches of the J south would be almost beyond calcula | tion. THE RAILROAD’S PART. A. D. Allen, president of the Interstate ‘ Cotton-seed Crushers’ association, was to ! have read the next paper upon "Cotton ! Oil Industry’s Part in the Development J of Agriculture,” but he was unavoidably j absent, and ids able paper was read by • Fielding Wallace, of Augusta.

OPEfIITOH LETS TWIN BV, BUT SPWS AFTER IT Catches Rear Step, Saves Passengers and “Hikes” for Another Job ALBION, 111., Feb. 9.—An itinerant tele ’ graph operator here last night redeemed •J an act of carelessness by one of heroism : and prevented what threatened to be a bad wreck. The operator failed to notify a westbound passenger train on the Southern railway to wait here for the passage of an eastbound train. As the westbound train pulled out of the station the operator sprinted after it, grasped at the steps of the rear car and was thrown headlong at the side of the track. Gimy and bleeding he rose and sped I desperately after the train and once more clutched at the rear rail. This time his | I grip held and he drew himself up until j he could smash the glass in the rear ves- | ; tibule door, thereby giving notice of the [ f neglected orders. The westbound train I was hurriedly backed into the station, reaching there not a moment too soon, just as the headlight of the eastbound flashed into view. ! The operator, who was “working ex tra,” did not even pause to leave his i name, but “hiked” under cover of dark l( ness on his way to a new job somc [ where else. ,1 MRS.

CLEAR HEADED Head Bookkeeper Must Be Re liable Tiie chief bookkeeper in .a large busi ness house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him: “My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago. and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in tnis way: “About three and a half years ago 1 had an attack of pneumonia, whicli left a ■memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or i rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia jof the stomach. My ’cup of cheer’ bad always been coffee or tea. but I became convinced, aftetf a time, that they aggra vated my stomach trouble.

We heard a man say the other morn ing that the abbreviation for February- Feb.—means Freeze every body, and that man looked frozen in his ulster. It was apparent that he needed the kind of warmth that stays, the warmth that reaches from head to foot, all over the body. We could have told him from personal knowledge that Hood's Sarsa , parilla gives permanent warmth, it invig ' orates the blood and speeds it along 1 j through artery «ind vein, and really fits ; men. and women, boys and girls, to enjoy | cold weather xand resist the attacks of • disease. !♦ gives the right kind of ; warmth, stimulates and strengthens at ( the same time, and all its benefits are lasting.

The subject of the papal audience i was suggested again by Mgr. Kennedy ' a little later. He had received further : instructions in the meantime and said [ that if I did not speak at the Methodist ' church, the audience would hold good. I replied that I appreciated the Intended courtesy, but the alternative was im possible. I would speak as announced, and thus would be obliged to forego the audience with the pope. When I ad vised Dr. Tipple, the pastor of the Meth odist church, he said he was ready to re lease me from the engagement, but I answered that that was impossible. Un der the circumstances I felt obliged to speak in fulfillment of a promise made before the papal audience was arranged.” Cardinal Gibbons Won’t. Talk ot Fairbanks J NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 10.—Cardinal Gibbons, head of the Roman Catholic I church in the United States, who will leave for his home in Baltimore tonight after visiting relatives here, has consis tently refused to be interviewed on the subject of the refusal of the people to receive Vice President Fairbanks in Rome. While he admited his indorsement of an interview given ot by Archbishop Ire land. the cardinal declined to make any personal comment. ROAD BUILDERS OF GEORGIA MEET AND SWAP GOOD IDEAS ' Continued from nage 1 of information and aid about road-build ing. He favors the suggestion that the state provide for exhibits of scientific road building methods at county fairs. Tests should be made for counties free of cost of their road materials. More than half of the states have adopted the principle of state aid or supervision over roads. “Road improvement upon scientific lines and business methods is one of the fore most economical questions of the day. Georgia should be in the forefront of this movement.” GEOLOGIST M’CALLIE TALKS. Prof. S. W. McCailie, state geologist, discussed the state's road-building prob lems from the standpoint of the soil ex pert. He showed where and in what quantities the best road-building mate rials of the state are found. He review ed the question in its technical aspects, showing that in the geological depart ment. at least, the state already has the road-building question thoroughly In hand. Prof. C. H. Strahan, of the chair of civil engineering at the state university, was introduced as one of the pioneer good roads workers in the state. Professor Strahan said that it required more study, from a civil engineering standpoint, to build good dirt roads than to build good railroads, for the reason | that the tradition.* of railroad building are so well fixed while new problems are continually presenting themselves in earth road building. “EFFICIENT” ROADS NEEDED. The efficient road is the road we must all strive to build, said he. All roads are good in good weather. It's only the [efficient road that is good at all seasons.' A drummer going by road from one town Ito another, inquires: “How long will it itake me to get down there?” and not ' “How far is it?” ! Such is the consideration that infiu | ences the pleasure driver. Likewise, the hauls of heavy freight. The real meas ure of a road is its efficiency. There are three factors in efficiency—length, and grade, and quality of surface, the last being the most important. “Limit your work to what can be done thoroughly with the money you have. Don't try to build 100 miles with money enough for only 8 or 10. Limit your self to the 8 or 10 miles, do the work well, and don’t leave mudholes. Otherwise you won’t get popular approval. Otherwis« people will say, ‘I don’t see any difference between this new method and the old one.’ Professor Strahan strongly advocated the employment or retention of competent civil engineers by road building authon ■ ties, and showed where his recommenda tion is sound: “Where and how compe tent engineers save money for a coun ty. and how they work toward an effi cient system of county roads. They for mulate the necessary broad plan for com petent road Improvement. They act aa an immovable buffer between outraged property owners and long-suffering com missioners when the course of a road is changed. They prevent costly mis- i takes. They are trained to know that it is never wise to satisfy a macadam appetite on an earth-road income. Judge Moore arose when • Professor Strahan finished and commended the speaker as one of the best he had ever heard. He added to what had been said about the value of civil engineers by say ing that the county map they make in Chatham county is to the tax officers a thing of beauty and a joy forever, for nobody escapes. fe. W. Kellar, superintendent of road construction for the United States gov ernment, was introduced as the next speaker. Mr. Kellar talked with the com plete knowledge of his subject that a long, practical experience gives him. He touched on a number of little points of value to road builders. He dealt princi pally with gradings and the construction of sand-clay roads. C. C. Buchanan, county road commis sioner of Ware county, reported on a system of road accounting which was inaugurated in Ware county and which 22 counties of the state are now using. At 1 o’clock the morning session ad journed for lunch, to resume at 3 o’clock for general discussion, election of officers and final adjournment. Judge W. F.. Eve will not be a candi date for re-election as president, as he lias ceased to be an officer in charge of road-building and is, therefore, not eli gible. The following resolutions by W. J. Eakes, of Conyers, and Frank C. Man son, will be acted upon Wednesday af ternoon : ’ Whereas, we have for ten months, under the recent) convict act, bad tho benefit of the coiivict labor on our pub lic roads, and opportunity of giving an Intelligent test of comparative cost and efficiency of said system with free la bor. and find that we can work this labor at less than half the cost of free labor with more than double the results; “Therefore, be it resolved, That the Georgia Federation of Road Authorities, in convention assembled, hereby express approval of the new convict system; commendation of the efficiency of the prison department working it: regret st the death of Judge Turner; congratula tion on appointment of Judge Hutchins; and request that the prison board amend rule 7, page 6, of pentitentiary rules by substituting ’daylight’ and ‘dark’ for sunrise' and ‘sunset’ in regulation as to when convicis shall be taken out to work and brought back.” ■- i ■■mi— Uatiouais®!llnstitute 72 S.
