Nov. 2«.-The As sociated Frees received early this morn ing from Vladimir Tschertkoff. literary agent of the late Count Tolstoi, the last article written by Tolstoi. It is entitled • Effective Means.” and was wr.tten by Tolstoi tn the Optina monastery. Novem ber H. shortly after he began his self imposed life away from home. The ar ticle /ras given The Asociated Press by M. Tachertkoff at the express wish of Count Tolstoi for dissemination to man kind. It says: "I am naturally anxious to do all I can against evil which tortures the best spirits of our time. "I think the present effective war against capital punishment does not need forcing; there is no ned for an expression of indignation against its immorality, cruelty and absurdity—every sincere thinking person. everybody knowing from youth the sixth command ment. nreds no explanation of its ab surdity and immorality: there Is no need for descriptions of the horrors of the e»ecutions for they only affect hang men. so men will more unwillingly be come executioners and governments will be obliged to compensate them more dearly for their services. •Therefore. I think that neither the ex pression of indignation against the mur der of our fellow men nor the sugges tion of its horror, is mainly needed, but something totally different. “As Kantwell says there are delu sions which cannot be disproved and we must communicate to the deluded mind knowledge which will enlighten and then the delusions will vanish by themselves. What knowledge need we communi cate to the deluded human mind regard ing the indispensableness, usefulness or justice of capital punishment in order that said delusion may destroy Itself?” J. P.

Born in Hall county, Georgia. Mr. Wil son spent his younger days in Tennessee and Kentucky. He joined the Confeder ate army at the outbreak of the civil war and won the rank of commissary general.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 19X0. 80LL mil TICHT WILL BE DETERMINED I Pest Will Not Have Any Chance to Ruin Cotton in Georgia When the boll weevil reaches Georgia lit will find an army of farmers ready for its extermination. It will also find an army of farmers better prepared for i higher cultivation of all than ' ever before and better crops to raise their credit with merchants and bank ers. All of thw things and more have been assured as the result of the boll weevil congress that met for two days in the auditorium and listened to addresses by men skilled in the extermination of the cotton pest and the betterment of farm conditions generally. The congress came to a close on Wed nesday afternoon after a series of most I Interesting and instructive talks had been made by men making a life study of farming from almost every phase pos sible. The final session of the congress was held Wednesday afternoon when ad dresses were made by Hon. Thomas G. Hudson, state commissioner of agricul ture: Dr. E. H. Stockbridge, a member lof the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; Harvie Jordan, E. Gentry, state agent for Georgia of the United States agri culture department, and J- S. B. Thomp son, representing the railroads in Geor gia. Mr. Hudson declared that It would not do to minimize the dangers from the boll weevil and said the farmer must be alive to the dangers that would arise if a fight were not made on the insect. His idea was that while the remedy was an easy thing to handle, the re sults would be most damaging if the real dangers were not made clear. The simple remedies might lead some to think there was nothing serious in the situation unless the terrible results that might follow a lax policy were made perfectly clear to all. Dr. Stockbridge was somewhat of the same opinion. He said the situation was very serious and that he was looking on the dark side. NEGROES MUST HELP. Dr, Stockbridge then called attention to the fact that Georgia had 70,000 ne gro farmers who had but little if any interest in the land they were culti vating except to make a scant living. Many of these had no ambition to do anything more than live from hand to mouth. These people, he said, would have to be handled differently from other citizens. The white man with ambition, who was striving to better his condi tion, who was making an intelligent ef fort to prepare for the coming of the boll weevil, would not have to be spur red on to action, but would help him self. How best then to make the care less negro aid in the fight was a se rious problem. Dr. Stockbridge then said in his opin ion the best way to interest the negro would be to send negroes among them to teach intensive farming. CROPS TERRIBLY REDUCED. Harvie Jordan, who has recently re turned from a trip west, said he had seen terrible results from the ravages of the weevil in Mississippi and Louis iana. In the latter state, he said, one planter had his crop cut from 2.750 to 175 bales. Mr. Jordan agreed with Dr. Stockbridge that the negro problem was a serious one. E. Gentry did not agree entirely with Dr. Stockbridge, but said Georgia could do better with the boll weevil to fight khan sosne people had done with noth <ng to hinder them. He advised the rals ng of more corn and other products of the farm and an intelligent fight on the weevil. J. S. B. Thompson, who appeared for the railroads in the state, said every co operation possible would be furnished b\ these Interests. He said the roads were fully alive to the fact that unless the country prospered they would suffer seri ous losses. During the session of the congress there were many expressions heard favorable to the plan of diversified farming. Corn came in for much of praise and It was shown that boys’ corn clubs through the state are doing a great deal of good. J. Phil Campbell, superintendent of the Boys' Corn Club of Georgia, attended the meetings. He reported one boy in Put nam county who had raised 133 bushels of corn on an acre of ground against 15 raised by his father on the same amount of space. Several boys have gone over 100 bushels to the acre. A free trip to Washington will be given the boy making the biggest crop on an acre. Bankers’ associations are back of the boys’ corn clubs. Rome appreciates the progressiveness of Atlanta and her chamber of commerce in taking the lead against the boll weevil. Hardly had the suggestion been made by the Atlanta chamber that such a con. ference as this be held before the Man ufacturers and Merchants’ association of Rome passed a resolution indorsing the movement and tendering its co-operation in every way possible. Pursuant to this resolution, one of the strongest committees ever named by the Manufacturers and Merchants’ associa tion was appointed to attend the con ference and take part in its work. This committee, headed by Chairman John H. Reynolds, president of the First National bank at Rome, attended In full force. The other members of the committee, most of whom were present, are P. D. Burks, farmer; R. M. Pattlllo, farmer; John P. Davis, ordinary of Floyd county and farmer; J. M. Vandiver, tax collec tor and farmer; J. A. Glover, president of the Simpson Grocery company; W. G. Dunahoo, sheriff-elect and farmer; E. J. Lyman, farmer; C. E. McLln, general manager of the Anchor Duck Mills; D. D. Towers, superintendent of the Floyd Cot ton Mills; R. J. Ragan, wholesale gro cer; J. L. Brannon, grocer and cotton factor; W. M. Gammon, chairman of the county board of commissioners; J. W. Mosteler, capitalist; C. B. Goetchlus, real estate. G. B. Goetchlus, a prominent real es tate dealer of Rome, like Prof. R. H. DeLoach, of Athens, Is interested in the protection of birds. He had the following resolutions prepared, but did not have an opportunity to present them: Whereas, the results of the researches of the chief of the biological survey, as set forth in bulletin No. 21, show beyond a doubt that the southern quail or bob white, commonly known as the partridge, ts a most important factor In the de struction of the boll weevil, as well as of all other Insects and worms which are injurious to crops in general, and, Whereas, the continued destruction of I these birds now going on will result In their extinction within a few years, there fore depriving the crops of one of their surest and best safeguards, therefore. Be it resolved. That this convention respectfully recommend to the legisla ture of Georgia that it pass a law pro mbiting. for the period of five years, the Killing, trapping, or in any manner cap turing the quail or bob white, or offering them for eale. or buying, or having them in possession, providing penalties for the violation of said law, and providing means for its enforcement. In the report Wednesday of the morn ing session of the congress Dr. 8. A. Knapp was made to give what may have appeared to be most peculiar advice. It J was: “Abandon everything at home.” I What Dr. Knapp did say was: "Abandon the credit system and raise everything possible at home.** rl CLARKE BROS. & CO.

State Senator Theodore Bilbo, who brought the charges against Du laney, again occupied the witness stand. His testimony occupied all of yesterday, but his story was broken into by fre quent interruptions from counsel and ex haustive argument as to its relevancy. The question under discussion when court met today was whether the defense should be allowed to bring in, on cross examination, incidents connected with Senator Bilbo's official conduct prior to the trial. State Senartor Theodore Bilbo related in detail to a jury yesterday circumstances, which, he declared, led to his charge that L. C. Dulaney paid him a sum of money in an effort to influence his vote during the senatorial caucus of the last Mississippi legislature. In substance It was a repetition of his testimony before the grand jury which returned the indictment charging Du laney wtih bribe-giving and later be fore the legislative inquiry. Dulaney is on trial in answer to the charge. Senator Bilbo was on the witness stand all of today. At the time of ad journment his cross-examination had not been completed and he will be re called tomorrow. In effect Senator Bilbo testified that he was approached by Dulaney and offered SI,OOO if he would change his vote from former governor James K. Vardeman to the successful candidate.
