The establishment of the branch
station of the Department of Agri
culture of the State of Georgia in
Tbo.nasviile. is one of intense inter
est to every farmer living in this
immediate section of the State. The
idea of this sub-station was Insti
gated with the purpose of hav
ing. cn the ground a force of
competent, experienced men to
watch the invasion of the weevil,
and to suggest such plans and meth
ods, first hand, as would be of as
sistance to the farmer.
The full realization of the mean
ing of the weevil's coming will be
felt when the cotton crop la cut In
half. The man who now makes fifty
bale3 will probably get twenty-five,
and so on, and unless he la thor
oughly prepared for the pest, he will
fee! severely the effect of Its rav
ages. This sub-station will experi
ment also with pecans, which la one
of the greatest Industries of this see
tion at the present time, and the In
formation which they will obtain
will probably prove Invaluable
those who are already in the Indus
try, and those who have not yet en
tered into it as fully as they intend.
Thomas County la the logical site
for such a station and Mr. Worsham
and his board have acted wisely In
their selection. The Winter place,
just outside if the corporate limits
of Thomasvllle, with ten acres of
fertile land and a pecan grove of
some proportions, furnishes an Ideal
site for the station. The people of
this city and county are delighted
that it has been chosen aa the site
for this valuable station.

being made In order to secure the

in view of the possibilities for a
larger and more beautiful structure,-
it would seemingly he foolish not to
make the try. for It. Whatever Is

Reports from Merrillville are In
effect that one negro was probably
fatally shot and another slightly
wounded at a fight, which resulted
from on of the usual festivities
which are given In the Wegro com

It seems that Loroy Larkina shot
Doc Hadley, wounding him seriously
and that In the melee which ensued
he also shot Doc's brother, who was
stanalng near and attempting
avert trouble. The negro who did
the shooting was traced nearly
Thomasvllle by officers and he
said to have been in company with
two negro women, and dressed as
a woman. He was not captured at
noon today, but the officers are on
the 'ookout for him.

SHALL WE WAIT FOR A LARGER
PUBLIC BUILDING?
Atlanta, Feb. 23.—"I am going to
give everybody a chance to be heard
before appointing Senator Bacon’s
successor,” declared Governor Sla
ton this morning, in a frang state
ment which la taken to mean that a
number of days will elapse before
hla decision Is made.
It needed not this assurance from
those in close touch with the gov
ernor to know that he bad not yet
settled the matter definitely even In
hls own mind.
‘‘It is no foible to bo determined
In an hour or a day,” he said Sat
urday, and the rumofs that ho was
going to announce a decision Sat
urday night proved mere unfounded
rumor and nothing more.
During the latter part of last
week, the Governor gave iu '.any
hours each day toward considering
the merits of the many suggestions
made to him and the many names
urged upon him. The hundreds ol
letters which poured in on him on
the subject he carried home at night
and studied by the midnight oil.
Saturday afternoon, when a Tew
misinformed people were still Imag
ining that the thing was about to
be settled lnstanter, the Governor
said: ‘‘I feel Just like I did when
I was a boy on tho farm at the end
of n hard meek's plowing. Then I
used to go down to the swimming
hole on Saturday afternoons. But
It’s too cold to go swimming now. so
instead I'm going out In the coun
try and look at the cows and chick
ens. I assure you, everybody will
be given opportunity to be heard
from before I come to any conclus
ion."
The attempt of Hobson to oust
negro boot-black and janitor from
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House Is another apparent un
just fling at his opponent.
There is a plan to have a bigger
government building and a bigger
lot on which to put It. Congress
man Park says he thinks he can put
It through If we wait a year or so
longer.
South Georgia Is calling on Gov
ernor Slaton to appoint a man from
this section to fill out the unexpired
term of Senator Bacon. The call Is
one that may determine the status
of the man who makes the race In
the general election.
The Supreme Court has decided
that Leo M. Frank received a fair
trial, and the condemned man faces
sure and certain execution unless
the Governor Intervene* or the Su
preme Court of tho United State*
can chaago tho decision of tho Geor
gia court
It seems that there is a movement
on foot to attempt to persuade the
government to purchase the entire
site known as the Mitchell House
Park for a public building. The
government bus acquired tltie to
portion only of that site and the
money has been paid for the land.
The people Interested desire to hard
the entire park sold for that single
purpose and a building in proportion
erected for government usage.
Congressman Park who has been
consulted, states that the change in
plans, If he can have them effected,
will necessitate a delay of two years
In the starting of the building. This
is due to the methods which are of
force In the Post Office Department,
and there could be no exception In
the case of Thomasvllle. If the
people desire the larger building
and grounds, we feel eure that^Mr
Park would do all In hla power to
secure the change, but he frankly
tells us that It would delay matter*.
The letter be wrote In that connec
tion la given to th* public In order
to allow thoae Interested to state
their o pin tons and either work to
ward the larger building and grounds
