COL. JAMLS M. SMITH
AND HIS LARGE FARM
A Representative of The Banner Pays a Visit to the
Largest Farm in Georgia and Talks With Georgia’s
Prince of Farmers. Something About the
Wonderful Oglethorpe Plantation.
V rvpr. sentative of The Banmr vi,- ployed in making cotton, corn and othi r
;1 the great plantation of Jam?. M. j product? at and around Smithonia, Lot
,uli. nt Smithonia, in Oglethorpe ha Veips close track cf every one of the
r .nr11y yesterday in company with Judge
Kami.ton McWhorter and a email party
of fri-uds. and found Mr Smith in bet
ter health than he has enjoyed before
for V ral y ars The king of the farm
ers < f t .eortfia and the south sits on his
broad verandas and keeps track of every
detail of his great plantation. He knows
die name of each of the twelve hun
dred negroes who live on his vast plan
tation, lie k’.ows the name of each of
th<- Mo hiu’t s in his large stables, he
knows what more than five hundred
different hauds are engaged at frrm day
to day, he ktow. how many people on
his tug plantation are sick and what is
the matter of each of them, he knows
how litany plough points are sharpened
at his modern blacksmith Bhops every
day. and he knows how each of his la
borer.- staid with him, financially,
every night.
Mr Smith is a rematkable man in
many nspects. and he has the most re
markable plantation in the whole coun
try. Thousands and thousands of acres
of land owned by himself and stretching
ont f.om his bomcpltce for mile, in
each direction, are ptrsoually superin
tended by Mr. Smith. He has a num
ber if negro "bosses” who assist him,
in a measure, iu locking after the hun
dreds of negro farm hands that are em-
hands himself, and yet finds a gr-at dial
of time to il- vote 10 his bocks and news
papers.
Mr. Smith sold ti.fif 0 halts of cotton
this year at ten cents per pound. If he
had held that cotton nniil today he
weald have gotten fSO,1,00 more for it
than he n ceived at the lime it was sold.
When asked yesterday why he did not
hold it longer. Mr. Smith said there was
good profit in cotton to him at ten cents
per pound, and whin ihe market reach
ed that point he was willing to let his
go. He said the price might have de
creased instead of increasing, and he
did not grieve over “spilled milk.”
At Smithonia. which is connected
with the outside world by the Smith
onia a- d Dunlap railroad, owned by Mr
Smith, there is a large 6tO'e, au oil mill,
a fertiliz r factory, a big cotton ginnery,
a big dairy, au electric light plant, wa
terworks, machine shops and a half
d z>n other laige brick buildings used
for various purposes, all owned and con
ducted by Mr. Smith. His railroad runs
from Duulap. on the Georgia railroad,
to Five Forks, on the main line of the
S-aboard Air I/ne. He has ten or
twelve miles of side tracks rnnning out
through his p’autalion, over which tie
hauled farm products, guano and the
like.
THRICE ABLAZE IN
VERY FEW HOURS
A tmall house on Pope street, near
Broad, owned by Dr Marion Hull, of
Atlanti, and occupied by negro tenants,
was total destroyed by fire Friday after
noon.
This same house caught fire twics the
prec dding day and both times the d -
part men t -acceeded in ex'ingnishing
the Mimes without material damage.
The third time within twenty-four
hours proved to be fatal to the doomed
structure and the loss was total.
Mr Smith is reputed to be worth from
two to three million dollars. He owns
more than thirty thousand acres
of good farm lands in a half
dozen counties in this section of the
state, and it iB conservatively estimated
that his annual net income from his
plantation interests alone is between
$300,000 and $400,000 per year. He has
several hundred thousand dollars in
vested in good securities, bonds and
stocks, which he says might come in
handy after he is seventy years of age.
He is now about 03
Mr Smith would not disouss politior,
although friends olose to him say he has
made up bis mind to be governor of
Georgia before he is many years older,
and there are few things about which
the farmer prince has made up his mind
in the past which failed to materialize.
If hs ever becomes a candidate for gov
ernor or for any other office It is qnite
probable that be wi'l be a winner, for he
is very popular throughout the state and
a man of great ability. As a stnmp
speaker Mr. Smith is said to have few
equals in the state.
If you feel too tired for work or pleas
ure, take Hood's Sarsaparilla—it cores
that tired feeling.
Dots mean dollars.

department of that institution over
which there has been so much comment
in the past
The trustees, the faculty and the stu
dents have for the past year been united
in a harmonious effort to make of that
department what it deserves to be and
the results of their patient and careful
work can be seen in the increased inter
est that is being manifested in the study
of agriculture among the students.
The trustees have given the school of
agricnlture everything that has been
asked by the faculty in charge and the
members of the faculty are confident
that they will be able to moke a great
showing odc year hence.
Mr. J. M. Johns n, instructor Iu Ani

tutor in agriculture, are two very able
men in their respective positions, and
under their management the sohool of
