VEREEN SAYS PARTY |
HARMONY UNAFFECTED
Atlanta, Oct 6.—Party harmony
in Georgia was not impaired by the
meeting yesterday of the state
Democratic convention in Macon, ac
cording to a statement laat night by
W. J. Vereen, chairman of the
executive committee.
Mr. Vereen stated that however
irregular the proceedings of the con
vention were, they could be ratified
at the adjourned session on Oct. 28,
at which time the results of the
special primary to nominate a United
States senator to succeed the late
Thomas E. Watson, are also to be
ratified.
The Vereen committee met in Ma
con last Saturday and fixed the date
of the primary for the nomination of
a United States senator and pension
commissioner for Oct. 17And charm
ed the convention date until Oct. 28.
The present state executive com
mittee has had but one purpose in
this entire matter, to secure, with
absolute certainty the ballot box
nomination of a United States sena
tor and of a pension commissioner,"
said Mr. Vereen.
There is nothing else of importance
to the people involved in this situa
tion. We have accomplished that
purpose. The people, and not the
politicians, will name the senator
and commissioner. However irrgular
the proceedings at Macon they can
be ratified at the convention on Oct.
28, at which time the results of the
special primary can also be ratified.

Peoria, HI.. Oct. 4—There is more

shape of the pig’s nose and the curl
of his tall. It’s another matter of
merit to control the form and the col
or and the shape ahd make the animal
beautiful aa well as useful, according,
to the Secretary’s view.
‘You and the man who have gone
before you,” he continued, "have
molded the animal from not only to
satisfy the eye of the lover of good
live stock and to satisfy the taste of
the epicure, but to meet the needs of
commerce * * ‘Working with un
seen forces, year after year, you have
finally producted in. living from the
Ideal which your brain conceived."
Then as to the science of the bust
ness as it is reflected in the flow of
commerce, the Secretary mentioned
that hog growers in this day and age
'change the form as the needs require
adding to it or taking from it, pro
ducing more fat or more lean, mors
bacon or more lard, larger hams or
smaller hams, "as the changing char
acter aud the supply of feed or the
changing states of the consumers make
necessary. It is a real Job, the Secre
tary asserted, and one In which the
federal government Is vitally inter

squabbling about minor mattera. We I eating and meat producing
only wish to preserve the Tights of

And that having been accomplished,

WEATHER CROP REPORT
Atlanta, Oct. 5.—The following U a
synopsis of weather and crop condi
tions In Georgia tor the week ending
Tuesday, October 3:
Extremely dry. moderately warm
weather prevailed daring the week,
with very alight showers at a few
points, mostly in the mountain dim
trict or the extreme southern portion.
The drought has been severe and Is
preventing nil plowing for the winter
grains, and is causing rapid deteriora
tion of pastures, tall cover crops, late
planted truck crops, rice and tall white
potatoes. All crops still la the ground
need rain. Cotton Is nearly all picked
and ginned, but there Is still some
with left, chiefly in the northern division,
where it is reported as opening pre
maturely on account of drought. Corn
is all ripe, and fodder palling prac
tically completed; corn is good on low
lands only, elsewhere most poor. Su
gar-cane is good, but would be much,
benefited by rain; it Is beginning to
mature. The yield of sweet potatoes
and peanuts is tsir to good. The bay

The Secretary told of many experi

partment, which it was hoped, would
benefit the industry.
“The swine growers of the South'

of trouble with eoft pork. In many
sections the carcasses do not stand np
well, and consequently the packers are
buying these hogs at a discount. We
are studying’ this problem in co-opera,
