ST. PETERSBURG. 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?”

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. 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.**

BILBO'S STOSY TO JURY
SAME IS IN LEGISLATURE
Senator Occupied Witness
Stand Throughout Day’s Ses
sion—ls Cross-Examined
(By Associated Press.)
YAZOO CITY Miss., Nov. 26.—There
was an increased attendance at the Du
laney bribery trial when court opened
today. 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.
United States Senator Leroy Percy. Act
ing in the role of detective, he de
clares, he consented but did not alter
his vote. He maue public the alleged
bribery Immediately after the senato
rial contest ended.

ger agent for 25 years previous to 1905.
