Benefits Farmers (By Ataociated Pre**.) WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—The senate adopted the Kern compromise amendment to the free list bill, 49 to’29. The bill ae amended then passed the senate, 48 to 30. . The house farmers* free list bill, ex empting from tariff duties a variqty of agricultural implements, cereals, meats, cotton bagging and other articles, was defeated by the senate today by a tie vote of 39 to 39. Its Democratic framers claimed that In effecting a * great saving to the people generally, it Involved a net reduction of a little over 38.000.aX) in tariff revenue. According to program, the senate im mediately after voting down the bill re considered the vote without roll call, on motion of Senator LsFollatte. Republican Insurgent Senator Kern, of Indiana, Democrat, then offered the compromise amendment taking meats off the free list when coming from countries that admit American cotton, corn, wheat, oats, horses, cattle and hogs free of duty. Voting on the various amendments to the farmers’ free list bill was begun in the senate as soon ss the routine morn ing business was disposed of. The first amendment—to add coal and coke to the free ilst-wss defeated, 23 to 52. Senator Bailey’s amendment to exempt fresh meats from the operation of ths free list bill was defeated 14 to 63 The Bailey amendment to put lemons on the free list MU was defeated 15 <to 69. The life of the Mil dates back to April 12, when Democratic leader Underwood introduced it In the house. The ways and means committee of seven reported the bill later, and the house on May 8 passed It by a vote of 296 to 108. Then t|»e finance committee of the senate took if In tow, gave hearings on It for five days and on June 22 Chairman Penrose, of that committee, reported the bill ad versely to the senate. The next day Senator Bailey, of Texas, offered the MH as an amndment to the reciprocity bill and this amendment was rejected on July 12. On July 14 the bill was fixed for a final vote today and It became the un finished business of the senate. The MU would have placed on free list agricultural Implements. cotton ties, leather, boots and shoes, meats, cereals, flour, bread, timber, lumber, sewing ma chines. salt and other articles. The exemptions are designed to take effect on the day following the approval of the measure. GREENE COUNTY PLANS MANY IMPROVEMENTS GREENSBORO, Ga.. Aug. 2.-The grand jury of the July term of the Grwenq superior court have recommend ed In their general presentments that an election be called providing for the is suance of 375,000 in bends—<ls,ooo for steel bridges. <36,000 for permanent road Im provement, 326,000 as a contingent fund to be used as needed for road improve ment and bridges. In the words of the jury they say "we insist that we have better and more permanent work on our public roads and to do this, we recom mend an election be called providing for the issuance of 375.000 in bonds. Recommending further along the line of the bond issue, they recommend that an advisory board of three members be appointed by next grand jury to act with county commissioner in the sale of these bonds and expenditure of this money, meeting with him once each 30 days and that they be paid a per diem of 32. The - grand jury states* that they find that some of the roads are a credit to the county, and also And others to be in a very bad condition and recommend ed that these be looked after as soon as possible. An important feature of the recommen dations was the creation of the office of county auditor, and that the proper au thorities employ a competent auditor to audit the books of tax receiver, tax col lector, treasurer and county commis sioner at the expiration of each term of office and that this auditor be paid only for time he is actually engaged in said work. CITIZENS TO FINANCE FIGHT ON CATTLE TICK GREENSBORO,, Ga., Aug. 2.—As each day rolls around the question of the eradication of the cattle tick in Greene county becomes more grave and a great er Issue. Friends of the tick eradication work In Grene county went before the grand jury just adjourned, with the request that they reeommend that an additional Inspect or be added to the corps of workmen with the salary of 375 and that one in spector now at work be increased to 375 per month, the 'county carrying just this expense enumerated. The opposition of the work in this county met the request In the grand jury wtth the cry of the sovereign rights they had relative to taxation—their money should not be used to further a work and cause they were opposed to. The grand jury In their presentments recommended that nn additional appro priation be made for the purpose of erad icating the cattle fever tick. The rec ommendation of this grand jury does not affect the appropriation now tn effect. The •county is now financing the salary of one inspector. Prominent citlxens of the county have shouldered the cause in that they will privately finance the work to a finish. The sympathisers of the tick work will use every means to enforce the quarantine law reporting every violation of the law. They will rush the work to a quick fin ish. They have raised the oft-repeated battle cry: “ask no quarter and give no quarter.” As an example that the cattle owners and Mtisens who are tn favor of the work mean business, they have just fin ished the construction of a regulation government dipping vat. Officials in, charge of the work throughqut the Uni ted States say that the surest and quick est way to get rid of the tick is by dipping cattle on a farm in an arsenical solution.

His conduct in reference to this matter met with the hearty Indorsement of our citizens and especially the good women of odr county. We admire hU nerve and fearless discharge of duty. We are glad that yre have a man on the bench who don’t take orders from the news papers and preachers of Atlanta whose attack* upon him in our judgment and under the circumstances were uncalled for. . While we commend him'for the earnest efforts to have the law take its ‘course, we feel safe in saying that Judge Brand's attitude In this matter has had the effect to do morp to protect the wives and daughters of the people in the country, who have no police protection, in the absence of the male members of the house hold, than anything which has happened in this generation. We further desire to say that Judge Brand has served, this county in official capacity for many years, first as solici tor general of the superior court for eight years and since as Judge of the superior court for six years, during which time great and constant responsi bilities have rested upon him. In the discharge of every public duty honesty and fearlessness have been predominant traits of his character, and no man in' our county, whether friend or not, has ever questioned, or had cause to ques tion, the motive or conduct of Judge Brand.

The schools are now tn the course of erection, one on High street Northwest for white pupils, and the other near the Cardoza school, on I street, ktietween Hslf and First streets, Southwest, ’for negro pupils. Two-yesr courses are planned for boys and girls more than 14 years cld, who have coinpletgd the fifth grade in ele mentary schools, or its equivalent. The new buildings will be used partly for the teaching of the rudiments of carpentry to the boys, and of sewing and cooking to the girls of the seventh and eighth grades, as la done at present In the various buildings dts- , trlbuted throughout the city for that pur- I pose. The main object of these two schools, however, will be to teach trades to those boye ' and girls who desire to learn them. Tbs course in the schools will not be for the first j •year much more than an experiment to de- ‘ ’tennine whether there Is any demand for a I 1 trade school. It Is believed by the school I -chiefs that the demand will prove very great. As only a small sum of money is avails?!* ‘for the work at present, it will necessarily be ! iUmited to a few trades.
