Duck worth and Secretary-Treasurer J. T.'McDaniel Are Hon ored by Members (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Feb. 17.—One of the distinguishing features of the seventh annual conventions at the Georgia. Far mers’ union was the development that Is now on in several counties for a movement to organize a fraternal so ciety, which has for its aim a protect ive insurance. This scheme is regard ed favorably by the Georgia division of the union and that it may become a feature of the state and even oi the national union Nothing has so far been done in the mutter of a definite scheme for con trolling and marketing the cotton crop, the cotton committee having asked foi an extension of time before submitting its report. This report will be made in the course of 30 days to the officers of the union at Union City when the findings of the committee will be dis seminated in >:he form of letters and pamphlets to the farmers of the state. With the four sessions held Friday, a morning, afternon and evening ex ecutive session and a meeting in the earlier part of the evening which was opened to the general public, the work of the seventh convention was practi cally completed. In the morning ses sion Lawson E. Brown, of Sandersville, Washington county, was elected to the presidency and the whole ticket of the regular party of the state union went through practically without opposition. NEW ADMINISTRATION. The roster of the new administration Is as follows: Lawson E. Brown, of Washington county, president; Rev. W. H. Faust, of Oglethorpe, vice president; J. T. McDaniel, of Rockdale, re-elected secretary-treasurer: J. L. Lee, of De- Kalb, organizer; H. Grady Smith, of Upson, conductor; A. L. Wallace ot Scriven, sergcant-at-arms; Asa G. Cobb, of Berten, doorkeeper, and Rev. J. H. Ulm, of Fayette, chaplain. The executive committee elected at the afternoon session is W. H. Thomp son. of Dodge county, reelected, chair man; J. H. Hoyle, of Upson, reelected; J. B. Williams, of Hart, reelected; F. D. Wimberly, of Pulaski, reelected, ana Dr. S. M. Johnson, of Jeff Davis coun ty, elected in the place of Dr. William Bradford, who declined reelection. The election of officers took up practically the whole of the time ot the morning session the only other matter being the appointment of the committee on live stock, on was named G. F. Hunnicutt, '>f Fulton county; O. T. Harper, of Bulloch; H. Grady Smith, of Upson, and W. T. Tay lor, of Johnson. In the afternoon ses sion the executive committee was elected, the union showed its appreci ation of the efforts of retiring presi dent, R. F. Duckworth and Secretary- Treasurer J. T. McDaniel by the pre sentation of handsome gifts. WATCH FOR M’DANIEL. The first matter that came before tho afternoon meeting was its remem brance to Secretary T. easurer McDan iel. Mr. McDaniel has served the union for five terms, this being the sixth term of office on which he is now en tering. The union has been on the steady increase during his service and the work has been voluminous. It was tho expression of the union in session that the success of the work had been due largely to I) is efforts and it was with the idea of showing this appre ciation that the union presented him with a handsome watch, engraved with his name ana the date of the presen tation. The same esteem was shown for the retiring president and the token given him was a large loving cup. Mr. Duck worth has served the union in an official capacity for nine years and the large majority of the rank and file of the state union is unanimously for him. Another feature of the afternoon meeting was the election of the Georgia delegates to the national convention. E. Cabanlss and Lawson E. Brown were chosen for this duty. The national con vention will be held on the first Wed nesday in September, the place of meet ing to be determined by the national executive committee shortly before the time for the convention. During the course' of the evening ex ecutive session F. D. Wimberly, of Pu laski county; R. A. Smith, of Washing ton; Dr. 8. W. Johnson, of Campbell county, were named on a committee whose duty Is to draft an open letter to he United States senators and repre senatlves from Georgia in reference to the parcels posts project. The commit tee will make its report at some later date, probably this ihorning, and will then, an the approval of the convention, draft the letter. At the open evening session there were three speakers beside an informal In troductory address by National Presi dent C. A. Barrett. The regular speak ers were L. L. Gould, of the Georgia Packing House and Stock Yard com pany, speaking on the project for a packing house in Macon; R. E. Grabel, agricultural agent of the Southern rail way, and George Dole Wadley, presi dent of the Southern States Cotton company. PLAN PACKING HOUSE. The aim of Mr. Gould’s talk was to prove that the state union would be a great winner by the institution of a packing plant In Macon and to enlist the support of the farmers* union m this plan. In introduction he traced the history of the packing house industry, showing that the packers have learned from years of experience until now the busi ness has been reduced to a science in which not a scrap of the stock is wasted. He showed further that the once broad lands of the western coun try from which the east and north were supplied have passed out of existence, never to return, and that therefore there is a place in the south for sock raising. It would prove a gigantic in dustry once seriously taken up, but Mr. Gould argued stock raising would be fruitless without the facilities to take caie of the products. The banks don’t like to see the insti tution of the packing house in Geor gia, particularly the small country banks, the speaker said, for it takes the farmer out of their control and set him on his own feet by placing him in a position to raise his live products on the farm, and taking them to the packing house get his money immediately with out being tied up by notes. Statistics were then produced to show that in 1909 the business of the six big packing houses of the United States had been 9945,000,000, nearly double the entire cotton crop of the entire Uni ted States for that year, which amount ed to 9588,814,000. He also showed that between the years 1908 and 1910 the de crease in the raising of hogs in the United States had been 8,302,000 head. These and other arguments seemed to impress the audience. Mr. Gould said that so far Macon had expressed Its faith in the packing house project by subscribing 925,000 and it is expected that the talk will be productive of re sults in enlisting the help of the farm ers of the state with the industry. REDUCTION OF ACREAGE. The next address was given by R. E. Grabel. agricultural expert of the Southern and allied railroads. Mr. Grabel talked on the general topic of farming and touched on the fundamental prin ciples of advanced agriculture. Hts main theme was the reduction of acre age. His motto was “not less cotton but less acreage.’’ The two most im portant tenants of modern farming were first to decrease the operation on each acre of land and second, to increase th# value of the production per acre. The means to this end, the speaker said were to use less men to the acre; to employ better implements and use better and a higher grade of seed. In the main his argument was for diversi fied farming. He brought prolonged applause from his audience when he said: “I wish that the time would come when the United States would cease to give out the cotton acreage and when we would plant about half of the cotton crop that we d.d last year.’’ TELLS COTTON PLAN. George Dole Wadley was the last speaker of the open session, and his topic was the Southern States Cotton company and what the company aimed to do in the cotton industry. Mr. Wad ley explained that the company would have its principal office somewhere in the state of Georgia, and that in every county of the cotton states it would have a committee of six picked men whose duty it would be to calculate the cotton crop and to buy It from the farmer for the company at a standard price of 15 cents per pound. Os thiq price 11 cents will, under the plans of the company, be paid in cash and the remaining 4 cents will be paid in script bearing interest at 6 per cent, to be paid on the sale of the cotton. This interest Will be payable at the end of every 90 days until the sale of the cotton. Mr. Wadley’s address was of considerable length and explained in full detail the plans of the company. In conclusion he said that the nat ural product of the southern states was cotton, and he felt that that crop should nave first place over all oth era He did not mean to discourage the live stock Industry in Georgia and the other southern states, he said, or any of the other industries that have been suggested in the place of the raising of cotton, but he felt that cottton should te given precedence over all i other*. During the afternoon session a num ber of the standing committees that had been named made their reporta ( These reports were read in the following or- j der: Report of the committee on farm im plements, read by Chairman G. S. Farr, of Fulton county, and -elative to the care, sheltering and purchase of farm tools. Report of the committee on good of the order, read by Chairman G. F. Hun nicutt, of Fulton county, editor of the Southern Cultivator. Report of the committee on the mar keting of cotton and farm products, read by Chairman R. Cabanisss. Report from G. F| Hunnicutt of the work that had been done in Clayton county in the matter of the organiza tion of a fraternal insurance society in the Farmers’ union.

Report of the committee on Georgia can syrup, read by Chairman T. M- Paulk, of Irwin county. Report of the committee# on legisla tion. The only other business of the Fri day afternoon executive session, besides the appointment of a committee to draft the letter to the Georgia United States senators and representatives on the question of the parcels post plan, was the reading of the reports of the be lated standing committees. At that time it was decided that the meeting should hold until 1 o’clock a. m. in or der that the majority of the business could be gotten off the slate and those of the delegates who wished might take midnight trains for their homes. Under this arrangement a number of the mem bers left last night. BODY OF WOMAN IS WASHED MANY MILES (By Associated Press.) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 17.—Relatives here are satisfied that the body washed ashore by the Mississippi river near Clarksdale, Miss., is that of Mrs. Annie Drake Ford, who disappeared from this city November 21, 1911, but how the body reached the point where it was found is a mystery that never may be solved. The last known of her whereabouts by her relatives was when she left her husband on the day of her disappear ance three blocks from the Ohio river and it is conjectured that she threw herself into the river here and her body was carried all the way down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Clarkedale. The note found pinned to the dress on the body has been identified. Smoke of Herbs Cures Catarrh A Simple, Safe, Reliable Wav and It Costs Nothing to Try. This preparation/ of herbs, leaves, flowers and berries (containing no to bacco or habit-forming drugs) is either smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or smoking tube, and by drawing the med icated smoke into the mouth and inhal ing into the lungs or sending it out through the nostrils in a perfectly nat ural way, the worst case of Catarrh can be eradicated. It is not unpleasant to use. and at the same time it is entirely harmless, and can be used by man, woman or child. Just as Catarrh is contracted by breathing cold or dust and germ-ladeiv air, just so this balmy antiseptic smokg mg remedy goes to all the affected parts of the air passages of the head, nose, throat and lungs. It can readily be seen why the ordinary treatments, such as sprays, ointment, salves, liq uid or tablet medicines fail—they do not and can not reach all the affected parts. If you have catarrh of the nose, throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if you are given to hawking and spitting, this simple yet scientific treatment should cure you. . An illustrated book which goes thor oughly into tne whole question of the cause, cure and prevention of catarrh will, upon request, be sent you by Dr J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At lanta, Ga. He will, also, mail you five days’ free treatment You will at once see that it is a wonderful remedy, and as it only costs one dollar for the regular treat ment. f; is within the reach of everyone.
