Ga June 21.-The an nual address of President Emmet Cab *nfM. of the Georgia division of the Farmers” Educational and Co-Operative union, late Tuesday afternoon, was one of the distinct features of the annual i convention The members of the union :bad realised the splendid executive ability of the retiring president, but his sound and wholesome advice was llsten ed to with the greatest Interest. * President Cabaniss occupies perhaps one of the moat original poeltlons with the union, not on account of hu own doing, but on account of the laws of the union He was elected last year at Union City eopvention, and although he would have probably been re-elected, if conditions had been different, he did not serve out his full term of one year. Having been elected to the state leg islature by a handsome majority in his county last year, he will take his seat in the general assembly next week. ‘The constitution of the Farmers’ union forbids a state official from holding the office of president In the Farmers' un ion. The farmers' convention is usually held in July, as It was held last year But to conform with the constitution it was necessary that Mr Cabanlss give up the presidency so as to serve in the legislature so the convention was call ed a month earlier to name his suo- IPL C4HMK)r. * WORK REVIEWED In his address befora the members of the union. President Cabanlss interest ingly reviewed the work of the past | months. He sailed attention to the ad vancement of the union and pointed out haw it had been placed on a higher character and financial basis. Ha of the co-operation that the union had given to the agricultural col leges of the state, and cited as an ex ample the pleasant accord that existed f ’between officials of the union and repre sentatives of the State Agricultural col- P i lege whan the farm train visited the different parts of the state. | He spoke of how Dr. Andrew M Sou la president of the State College of • Agriauiture, had commended the assist -5 ance that had been given him by the farmers of the state. He also referred to the statement of Dr. Knapp, of the federal department of agriculture, who said that he could not have reached the farmers of Georgia with any result If DISTRICT CONFERENCE IS HELD AT FORSYTH FORSYTH, Ga..

PRESIDENT TAFT WANTS THE FOOD LAWS AMENDED GBy AsaeeUted Prsaa) • NEW YORK. June R.-Presldent Taft began the longest day of the year by ris ing early and breakfasting in the cool of the morning at the home of Henry W. Taft, where he had spent the night. At !:» he was off for the Grand Central station, where bis special car waited to hustle him off to New York and the Tsie eosnmencement. Before daybreak the mails were carry ing to Washington evidences of the pres ident's lata retiring hour to the shape of w special message to which he put the finishing touches after returning from the theater last night. » The message, which will be presented to congress today, recommends an amend ment to the pure food laws. It Is the result of a recent supreme court decision which ruled that a manu facturer could legally label a nostrum as i a "cure for consumption'’ even though he I failed to establish the curative qualities of his medicine, so long as the label com plied with the law in publishing truth , fully the chemical contents of the reme dy The president wants congress to pass | _ father legislation providing that no mis branding or misleading statement what- I sever may be placed on the labels. WANTED TO SLEEP Curious That a Tired Preacher Should Have Such Desire A minister speaks of the curious effect of Grope-Nuts food on him and how it hax relieved him. ( “You wiU doubtless understand how - the suffering from indigestion with ■which I used to be troubled made my work an almost unendurable burden; •nd why it was that after my Sabbath * duties had been performed, sleep was a Stranger to my pillow till nearly day- P light “I had to be very careful as to what I ate. and even with all my cane I experi enced poignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satisfied me. “Since I* began to use Grape-Nuts the benefits 1 have derived from ft are very definite. I no longer suffer from indi gestion. and I began to improve from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. “I find that by eating a dish of this food after my Sabbath work is done, I (and I always do so now), my nerves are quieted and rest and refreshing Sleep are ensured me. • “I feel that I could not possibly do! Without Grape-Nuts food, now that I j know |ts value. It is invariably on our tab’< i—we feel that we need it to make tb^ 7meal complete—and our children eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot pervaded to touch anything else."! given by Poilum Co, Battle Michigan. HB Read the famous booklet. The Road Wellville," in pkgs. There's a Rea- ' i; I Ever read the above letter? Hl new one appears from time Jr time. They are genuine, true, and full of human inter | est .. . it had not been for the Farmers’ un ion. "I believe.” said President Cabanlss, “that the success of the farmer lies in learning to help himself, in learning what is the best, and in then going out and helping others. He need not necessarily confine his efforts to his brother farmers alone, but he can help the business world as well There is no differential line betwen the city and the country. We are all brothers, work ing for the best that is in each other and in our land. MAKE FARM ATTRACTIVE. ”1 do not believe so much in the phrase of 'back to the farm.* as I do in making the farm so attractive that none will leave it. I believe in giving the farmer as much of the city as is pos sible with rural telephones and free mall delivery, but I also believe tn making the farm itself more and more produc tive by the most modern methods. “I believe in the upbuilding of the home life on the farm. It should te made so that it will not be a drudgery that saps the life, but ft should be a pleasure. It is more pleasant to do pleasant things, and I believe that every farmer should live in harmony and ac cord. "The Farmers' union has long ago ceased to be an experiment. The old problems have all been settled, but there are new problems that are con stantly arising. Each problem will he more difficult than the one before, but we have already laid our foundation and it will be easier to overcome difficulties, when we have a perfect foundation to build upon. •'A sane and safe policy should mark all our efforts. We should educate our selves to do the best in us. The agri cultural schools, and the demonstration trains will all help. Education always has been and will always be the best mental asset to the farmer. "We all believe in the diversification of farm producta We must learn the best methods through constant study. We must make our union what Its name implies—an organisation for; education and co-operation. “The success of the future depends upon each one of you. The officers of the union cannot accomplish anything without your assistance, and with your assistance the union can secure the great rfeeults that are possible for it.” THOUSANDS VISIT WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS WASHINGTON, June XL—A crowd es timated at 30,000 last night took advan tage of the invitation extended to the public by President Taft and visited the White House grounds.

EMMETT CABANISS Who delivered iris annual address to the farmers at Fitzgerald Tuesday •»- ternoon pums of glsay CROPS AVERAGE HIGH BY BAYMUMD DANXBL. FITZGERALD, Ga., June 21—The crops of Georgia, although off in some sections, are on average the best in years, ac cording to members of the Georgia di vision of the Farmers’ union, who are attending the annual convention. In some localities the conditions are not ua good as In others, but upon the whole the crop is good. 1 Long delayed rains, which for a time threatened destruction, arrived in time to save the crops and farmers are more hopeful than ever of good crops. While cotton in some sections is behind, in the greater part of the state its condition is good. In this section cotton la already lap ping in the rows and the stand is good. Corn is also in fine shape. The pear orchards around Fitzgerald promise a greater yield than ever, and thia section has always been one of the greatest pear growing sections. But if the corn and cotton crop should fail, this section of the state can fall back on its pecan industry. BILL TOPROTECT GAME WILL BE RE-INTRODUCED Supporters of the game protection bill that was Introduced to the last legis lature, are urging that this bill be rein troduced at. the coming session and that it be aided by all sportsmen. Following is an ex|ract Crpiri a letter written by one of the supporters of this bill: "See if you can make a noise sufficient to awaken every man in our state who wants to protect the game birds, and get them to appeal to their representa tive to get behind it and make it a law; ask them to call to mind nearly every train going out in the mornings during the hunting season loaded with hunters and dogs—killing every bird they possibly can; of the strings of birds they see In nearly every market and restaurant during the hunting season; don’t forget the peddlers on the street; get tab on non-resident hunting parties camped all over south Georgia the entire season shipping or carrying many birds out of the state. At this rate it is not hard to figure just how long it will be before a game protective law will be too late in Georgia. The proposed new law w-Il remedy this state of affairs to a great extent. Let every man in Georgia who likes a few days with his dog and gun get busy and rejnedy this slaugh tering business.” Lorimer in Washington WASHINGTON, June 22.—Senator Wil liam Lorimer arrived in Washington to day to remain throughout the senate in quiry into his election. The hearings will be resumed tomorrow afternoon. Former Governor Richard Yates, of Illinois, is to be the first witness of the day. DUCKWORTH _ HEADS~~ GEORGIA DIVISION OF FARMERS’ UNION < * ' (Continued from page One) ing of small grain was also recommended. The raising of live stock at home was advocated as one of the greatest needs of the farmers of the south, and the members of the union were asked to give as much attention to this as possible, as it would keep money at home that is now sent to western dealers. The social entertainment for the vis itors this afternoon consisted principally of an autombobile ride over the fine roads of Ben Hill county. Over 100 carried the delegates whirling over the hard clay-sand roads of <the county, and the ride lasted over two hours. SKETCH OF DUCKWORTH. Hon. R. F. Duckworth, the new pres ident of the Georgia division of the Far mers’ Educational and Co-operative un ion, is one of the most foremost leaders of not only the state, but the national organization. His election as state pres ident at Fitzgerald is the second time that he has bene given that honor as he served in 1907 and 1908, succeeding for mer State President Charles S. Barrett, when the latter was elected president . of the national organization. He came to Georgia from Texas. He had once served as president of the na- < tional organization. W'hen Mr. Barrett I was elected president of the Georgia di- ’ vision Mr. Duckworth was named secre- , tary of the state organization. When j Mr. Barrett was elected president of the < national union Mr. Duckworth was «lect- • ed president of the Georgia division. He J held that office for two years, being j succeeded by 'ormer Pres. John L. Lee. i He is now a member of the national ex-' ecutive committee,. He is also editor 1 of the Farmers’ Unj On News, the offi- j cial organ of the national union. i He is one of the most progressive lead- J ers of the union, but is conservative, ■ although progressive He is willing to ' tackle any kind of proposition. He loves J to solve knotty problems, he is willing • to enter a fight, if he knows that good ’ will co-rne from it, but he loves peace i more. He has the respect and admiration of ! every member and the confidence of the j union he represents. | Under his administration it is ex- 1 pected that he will institute many cam paigns in Georgia that will bring the 1 farmers’ union into the forefront of all ] organizations of its kind. < GOSSIP ON FARMERS UNION BEING HELD A7 FITZGERALD BY BAYMVMU DAMIEL. FITZGERALD, Ga., June 21.—1 t is doubtful if ever any convention of the Georgia division of the Farmers’ Edu cational and Co-Operative union had as many leading farmers present as the meeting here. An air of business-like methods characterizes tne convention hall and the hotels where the delegates are registered. Any one, not a member [ of the union, will recognize as well as ! do the farmers themselves, that a new ; era has come into Georgia farming, and that farmers must utilize every known method to get the best results. "I don’t think that I ever saw such an intelligent-looking body of farmers ■ gathered together before,” said Presl- ■ dent Emmet Cabanlss Wednesday, while standing in the lobby of one of the hotels. “Every man that is here seems to know the purpose he has come for—every one understands that he is ! enlisted In a campaign for the good of himself and his neighbors. There may be differences when it comes to the set tlement of little matters—there is that difference of opinion in everything, but they are all united on the plan to bet ter Georgia farmers.” There are few presidents that have been more universally respected than is President Cabanlss. Untiring, working always for the best interests of the union, alert to impress farmers and business men alike that the good of one Is the good of all, he has proven a solid wedge in cementing the union Into a most potent factor in Georgia. His retirement as president will come as a source of regret to all. The admirable hostelries of Fitzger ald were filled beyond their capacity by the large number of delegates, and many of the hospitable citizens of Fitz gerald have opened their homes to the visitors. * It has been years since a convention brought as large an attendance. It is the first time In several years that south Georgia has had a convention, and the good people of this section are showing how they can entertain. President Charles 8. Barrett, of the national union; Executive Committee man R. F. Duokworth, of the national union; former President John L. Lee, of the Georgia division; Secretary-Treasur er John T. McDaniel, Business Agent J. G. Kubanka, Lee Barron and Ed Bodenhamer were an impromptu recep tion committee all day long Tuesday and received hundreds of their friends who gathered abound them to renew old acquaintances, discuss old problems that had been checked at the closing of the last convention in Union City. Among the people of Fitzgerald who have left no stone unturrted to give the visitors a happy time is Editor Jesse Mercer, of the Fitzgerald Enterprise, one of the best known men of Geor gia, who numbers his friends by the thousands, and who is a prince of hosts. There were many delegates late to the opening session of the convention, be cause they had “stopped to shake hands with Jesse Mercer.” And there was no reproof for their tardiness. Although MORE IRREGULARITIES IN POSTOFFCE DEPARTMENT ~V BY BALFH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.—The odore Weed, cwmf elerk of tha iiostofflje department, today admitted that specifi cations for cerjftin furnishing for the department werte so drawn as to favor the Globe Wernieke company to the ex clusion of all other manufacturers. He denied that this was done purpose ly. Weed was testifying before the com mittee on expenditures In the postoffice department, which is almost daily de veloping irregularities, inconsistencies and flagrant disregard for law in the management of the postal service by Postmaster General Frank H. Hltcn cock. "Today’s disclosures are just a few of the many that we have developed and expect to continue to develop. Every thing tends to show the utter disregard of law by the postoffice department,” explained Congressman Redfield, after the hearing.

Address Easy Method Music Compay, 2290 Clarkson Building, Chicago, 111, his magnificent printing plant was de stroyed by fire a little over a year ago, Editor Mercer is printing a better pa per than he did before. The morning hours before Tuesday’s session was enlivened for the delegates by the Fltagerald band, who readily proved their contention that they were one of the best bands in the state. Sta tioned on one of the wide porches of one of the hotels, the band rendered a breakfast concert that caused waiters to do all sort of cake-walk and contor tions as they carried the big and heavily loaded trays of eatables that almost made one forget that there was to be any convention. "Turkey in the Straw, Ha! Ha! Ha;” "Yankee Doodle Dandy," “My Old Kentucky Home,” and many other old-time airs were played while the visitors breakfasted. The automobile drive for the dele gates will be one of the most pleasant of the social features. It is planned to carry the visitors over the great farms and pecan groves of Ben Hill county. The pecan industry here will as a revelation to many of the farmers of north and middle Georgia. There are also groves of orange and banana trees that will cause the greatest Intereat. There are pecan groves that are now worth |6OO an acre on land that was bought for $2 an acre only a short time ago. An Intermittent rain which fell Tues day morning made Fitzgerald as pleas ant as the seashore. The sun was shin ing through a lot of the rain, which seems different from the rains of other sections of the state, as it is a drizzle that dries on clothing quickly, and as one delegate said, “did not seem to be wet water at all.” The hard, sandy soil also dries quickly after a rain. Among the hospitable folk who en deavored to make the farmers’ stay the visit of their lives was Isadore Gelders, the managing editor of the Fitzgerald Leader. With his automobile at the dis posal of all, he piloted them over the good roads of Ben Hill county, of which all the people are so proud. He was everywhere talking up Ben Hill county, but most of all giving old and new friends a happy time. It was largely through the efforts of C. A. Newcomer, of Fitzgerald, that this enterprising city secured this convention of the Georgia division. He conceived the Idea and wasted no effort or time to have the convention come to Fitzgerald. The visitors all pledge their word that he is even showing them a better time than he had promised. The badges that are being worn by the visitors are the K most tasteful that has marked any convention for a num ber of years. Printed in white letters on blue ribbon, the badges and their in scription can be seen for some distance and are admired by all. The white badges worn by the local entertainment committee are also unique, and practi cally every citizen is a member of this committee. All of them do not wear the white badges, but every one of them is united in giving the visitors the best the town has. LEXINGTON WELCOMES THE HIGHWAY SCOUTS LEXINGTON.

ROUT FIRES flflST GUN . IN RECIPRDGITT FIGHT Argument on Much Mooted Amendment Is Begun in Senate Wednesday (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. June 21.—Senator Root’s long-expected explantion of hi« amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill was expected in the senate today to give the debate on the measure the impetus it has lacked up to this time. The New York senator’s amendment deals with the reciprocal exchange on print paper and pulp wood by the two countries and, he as argued, the bill as it stands is not complete without such an amendment. President Taft has urged the defeat of the amendment and it has been charged that it would jeopardize the entire agreement. While the senate was busily engaged with reciprocity the house had on its program today consideration of the joint resolution for the direct election of sen ators. The amendment by the senate, pro viding for federal supervision of eleot tion when necessary, is not to the lik ing of southern representatives and before adjournment It is considered like ly the, resolution will be sent to con ference with instructions by the house to oppose the adoption of the provision. The wool bill passed by the house last night will go immediately to the sen ate, but |t has at no time been thought that the measure has arty chance of passing there at this session. The regular Republican senators take the ground that congress should await the conclusion of the tariff board inves tigation, which would defer action until the regular session of congress in De cember; while the Democrats, reinforced by some progressive Republican sena tors, insist that there should be some expression by the senate now.
