□'f diaries M. Strahan as secretary.
It was an informal and instructive ex-
Lience meeting, and the matter of
jL.j.,1 discussion was, how best to get
I'forotlie planters the results of the
iraetie-al experiments and scientific in
vestigations which are made at Georgia’s
Experimental Station.
Views were engaged in regard to the
delivery of lectures before the farmers
of Georgia. A resolution was unani
mously adopted authorizing the secre
cy to correspond with the President of
Ik,.'Farmers’ Alliance and the President
Jftke Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety, asking their earnest, co-operation
in promoting the success of the Far
mer-’Institutes, and making appoint
ments for lectures throughout the State.
Questions concerning intensive agri
culture were discussed by Dr. J. B.
iliinnicutt, Col. A. F. Pope, Col.
{.Ikrt Schley, of Augusta; Dr. H. C.
'Vhitc, 1’rofessor D. C. Barrow, Jr.,
Col. W. P. Welch, Dr. E. D. Newton
iml Alliance Lecturer, Dr. J. R. Rob

-Dr. K I) Newton made an inter
ring talk on gardening,” said Mr.
ichlcy. “declaring that intensive farm
ing meant simply carrying into the
1 eld of agriculture the careful methods
jmploYed in gardening. He introduced
I resolution illustrating his chivalric
fiiili in the fair women of Georgia, re
spectfully requesting Uie wife of each
firmer to present a book on gardening
»iher luishand us a Christmas present.
The doctor remarked that the trinity of
tie dining room was breakfast, dinner
mi)supper, and the trinity of the farm
us the garden, the barn yard and the
airy. Ife also declared that the only
ml to the highest agriculture was th.
ilo|ition of the careful and thoughtful
iiithoits now in operation by the gar-
ien«r>, th truck farmers and those eu-
|agrd in the iuteusive agriculture.
"These Farmers’ Institutes are free
tithe farmers of the state,” said Mr.
rchley, and they open up a most valua-
lie opportunity to Georgia planters.
IVy are provided for by the Agricul
tural College land script, and all that is
1-tiled to make them effective is the co
loration of the fanners to the extent
if attending them. The lecturers from
i lit college are ready to come to any
hlaco or section where invited by the
iinuers. They propose to hold the
la: in Oglethorpe, 1 think, and ar-
nngfiiior.ts are on foot for holding one
is Me Outlie. A schedule of regular
iipointments is being arranged for
Jumtiry or February in Southwest
horgia. If fanners will rid tbc-rn-
lil'Cs of the idea that there is anything
Off, formal or embarrassing in these
liftings, and not be frightened oft by
jtifterm “institute.” they can reap
inch benefit from these gatherings.
‘ Kxpi rience meetings” might be a
Imre suggestive and attractive name for
thm tn the farmers. The lecturer in
[is lecture makes the basiBfor the work
i nneting, and when he has finished
fen comes an informal interchange of
Eiperienoe and opinion. Every man is
« liberty to ask questions bringing out
piy special details in which he is inter
red, and any one present is at liberty
f give any experience which he may
|‘tve had on his own farm which con-
i ms or seems.to contradict the posi-
I bans of the lecturer. The Idea is to
ft the farmers together, and give them
Uif opportunity to profit by the best
fittings of sc ience and the best experi-
oeeof other practical farmers. It is
[I'sohitcly free of cost to the farmer,
i;d they should eagerly grasp every op-
Frtunity to attend one of these insti—
[ t ites.”
THE NORMAL COLLEGE- DISCHARGING EMPLOYES.
THE COMMISSIONERS WILL MEET
AT POUR O’CLOCK THIS AFTER
NOON.
DR, W. E. BOGGS TALKS.
Commissioner S. D. Bradwell In the
City—others Commissioners WIU
Get Here To-day-They Meet
This Afternoon.
This afternoon the Commissioners of
the Georgia Normal College will meet
in the Chancellor’s office of the Univer
sity in conjunction with the Prudential
Committee of the University, the
faculty and Governor Nortben.
The old Rock College has been desig
nated as the place for this college but
or several reasons this cannot be done
as yet.
The work of the organization of the
college will be done this afternoon and
the commissioners will arrive this
morning.
Dr. Boggs said yesterday: “The
University will no doubt be called up
on to lend the Normal college the use
of the recitation rooms of the Univer
sity as the Rock college is not furnished
at present and the college only has one
thousand five hundred in funds, this
having been given it by the Univer
sity.
“Besides this, I suppose the faculty
of the University will also becalled up
on to lend a helping band, and for
these reasons, aud toward the formal
organization of the college, is the meet
ing called this evening.
“Captain Bradwell will arrive to
night and the other commissioners to
morrow morning, and we will meet at
four o’clock in my office with the fac
ulty and prudential committee of the
University, and will see then what can
be done.”
Captain Bradwell arrived last night
but retired at once, so the Banner
was unable to see him, but all the com
missioners come determined to make
what they can of it.
They will have to start on a small
scale of course on account of the small
ness of their treasury but when this is
replenished aud enlarged the old Rock
College will again take on new life and
the Normal college will be one of the
best seats of education in the south.
Captain Bradwell will leave tonight
for Appling county where he will lec
ture as will also Governor W. J. Nor-
then.

The Chaplain Invokes Divine protec
tion to Congressmen,
Washington, Dec. 16.—In his open
ing prayer the chaplain invoked divine
protection on the members of the house
against the assaults of the insidious dis
ease now pervading the land.
The speaker announced the appoint
ment of the committee cm rules as fol
lows: Speaker (chairman), McMillin,
Catchinga, Reed and Burrows.
Bartine of Nevada, who has been ab
sent on account of illness, appeared at
the bar of the house and took the oath

Taylor of Tennessee, rising, said that
it was his mournful duty to announce
the death of his friend and colleague,
Hon. Leonidas C. Honk, who died sud
denly from accidental poisoning at his
home in Knoxville, in May last. Mr.
Hook, after serving gallantly in the
war, and after having held various state
offices, had been elected to the 46th con
gress and to each successive congress
since. He had a hold on his people far
beyond that of any other man or com
bination of men. Had he lived he
ceuld have been returned to congress as
S ; as he might have desired to re-
n in public service. He died poor
in this world’s goods, bnt rich in friend
ship and love for his countrymen. The
house then, as a mark of respect to the
memory of the deceased, adjourned
until Saturday.
In tbs Senate.
The president sent to the senate the
following nominations: To be .United

The Work of The Richmond & Dan
ville Syndicate.
Macon, Ga., December 16.—There
is consiernaiiou at the shops of the Cen
tral railroad in this city today. Ninety-
eight men have been suspended, em
bracing forty-four in the car depart
ment and fifty four machinists and
blacksmiths. This is certainly a very
unpleasant Christinas and New Year
remembrance. Superintendent Curran,
of the Southwestern railroad, says the
suspension may not last more than sixty
days, but of this he can give no posi
tive assurance. He says the suspension
is due to the fact that there is no work
at the shop for the meu to do, and that
it will not pay the road to retain th^s
employes longer at the present timeT
The work at the yards is said to be com
pletely up, and the absence of the men
will not cause any inconvenience to the
road. Gatekeeper Simmons and Night-
Watchman McKenuy at the passenger
depot have also been suspended. It is
understood that the suspension of em
ployes will be general all along the line.
PAYDAY NOT REGULAR.
Until recently the Central road was
never known to be behind in paying
its employes. It always had a fixed
date and uever failed to meet it. This
flue record has been broken of late, and
the employes are anxiously waiting to
see if the pay train will come with their
November salary before the 20th inst.
The boys want their money in time for
the Christmas Holidays. The report
reaches Macon that the mechanics em
ployed in-the Central shops of Savan
nah have been much dissatisfied of late
at the Central’s delay in paying them.
The Press, of that city, has been giving
the matter attention, and says:
“On Saturday afternoon, as they had
not yet received their money for No
vember, a meeting was held and a com
mittee of six, composed of two machin
ists, two carpenters and two painters,
was appointed to visit the master me
chanic aud see if any
information could be ob
tained from him. He could give the
men no satisfaction, and the committee
visited the office of the general super
intendent. There, it is understood,
they were told that they would be paid
off in checks not later than the 16r.h,
and that any bank in the city would
cash the checks without discourL With
this understanding the men retired
(somewhat better satisfied. Rumors
were current Saturday night and Sun
day morning that the men intended
striking. This proves to be untrue.
A Press reporter saw Master Mechan
ic Antz Monday morning and asked
bism if there was any truth in the re
port about a probable strike.
' No,” was the reply, “there is not.
I heard the rumor was being circulated,
aud 1 traced it to a few malcontents
who have been trying make the men
dissatisfied.
The matter has been satisfacto
rily arranged, and the men
are all at work now.
There is no probability of a strike, for,
in my opinion, the men are glad to con
tinue at work. Their pay is perhaps
more secure than their positions.”
GUTTING DOWN THE VOUCH.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 16 —[Special.]
—The officers of the Richmond anu
Danville railroad have issned orders to
reduce the force of employees in the
shops. The force has been cut down 25
per cent.
Nearly one hundred men have been
discharged. This means a reduction
of some $4,500 on the monthly pay roll.
This act has aroused much bitterness,
and the railway authorities are censur
ed by the community.

Dear Sirs—I wish to give my testimonial in

the cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia,
bllliousness, etc. In 18611 was attacked with
billious muscular rheumatism, and have been
a martyr to it ever since. 1 tried all medicines
I ever heard of, and all the doctors in reach,
but I found only temporary relief; the pains
were so bad at times tbit I did not care wheth
er I lived ordied. My digestion became so im
paired that everjteing I ate disagreed with me.
My wife also suffered so intensely with dyspep
sia that her life was a burden to her; she
would he confined to her bed for weeks at the
tiUTe; she al-o suffered greatly l rom giddiness
and loss of sleep. Some time in March I was
advised to take P. P. P„ and before we(my wife
and I) had finished the second lx ttle of P. P. P*

sided so much that i have been able to work,
and am feeling like doing what J haven’t done
before in a number of years. We will continue
taking P. P, p. until wejare entirely cured, and
will cheerfully recommend it to all suffering

N w Yore, Deo. 16.—Colonel Ira
Ayer, special agent, appointed by Sec
retary of the Treasury Foster to collect
statistics on tin plate, has begun send
ing out requests for information on
that subject. He said that be expected
to have some official information, winch
he would forward to the secretary
about Jan. 1. Mr. Ayer has headquar
ters at the Public Stores. He has re
commended to the treasury a system of
reports to be made quarterly.
Colonel Ayer explained that this work
was being done in order that the gov
ernment might have information on
which to act on that provision of the
McKinley law which provides that on
and aftw Oct 1, 1697, tin plates and
terne plates, lighter in weight than
sixty-three pounds per 100 square feet
shall be admitted free of duty, unless
it shall be made to appear to the satis
faction of the president (who shall
thereupon by proclamation make known
the fact) that the aggregate quantity of
such plate lighter than sixty-three
pounds per 100 square feet produced in
the United States during either of the
six years next preceding June 30, 1897,
has equaled one-third of the amount of
such plates imported and entered for
consumption during any fiscal year
after the passage of this act aud prior
to said Oct. 1. 1897, provided that the
amount of snch plates manufactured
into articles exported and upon which a
drawback shall be paid, shall not be in
cluded in ascertaining the amount of
such importations.
The statistics which Colonel Ayer is
after include points on which to settle
all the questions which may be raised
under this section. He has recommend
ed to the department for adoption a sys
tem of reports which prescribe that the
forms of invoice shall embrace the
brand, number of boxes, size, number
of sheets per box, weight of box, total
weight, quantity lighter than sixty-
three pounds per 100 square feet aud
sixty-three pounds and over per 100
square feet. Statement from all the
rolling mills showing the names of the
manufacturers to whom sheet iron and
steel have been sold will be asked for.

which gave the names of concerns en
gaged in making tinned plate and those
which were preparing to do so. "Will
these reports be used in making the
official statement to the government?"
he was asked. -"No, they will not, * he
said. "I making the report to the
treasury nothing will be considered ex
cept the sworn statements of toe par
ties making the goods."
The list of concerns counted by the
association to the tin plate industry in
cludes twenty-three firms. An exami
nation of this list, however, shows that
the greater proportion are still doing a
business in "futures. ” The total ca
pacity of these plants, which are to be
completed "soon" or which "propose to
make tinned plates" ie put down by
the association at 300,000 boxes a week,
which is regarded as a very comforta
ble figure by those whose enthusiasm
on the subject has led them to be given
the reputation as "tin plate Iters. ”
Closer examination of this same sum
mary of the association shows that the
statement is made that only five of toe
twenty-three concerns are actually
making tinned or terne plates. Tm
five, on their own showing, have a ca
pacity of 3,150 boxes per weelr, which is
said to be barely enough tor aewiptes
for use in the trade.

HOME SUPPLIES-
TALKS WITH SEVERAL FARMERS
ON THIS SUBJECT.
THE WAY THEY RAISE THEM
A Prominent Clarke County Farmer,
one from Madison,and one from
Oglethorpe talk Interes
tingly to a Banner
' Reporter.
“Yes, that is true,” said a prominent
farmer of Clarke couuty the other day,
in answer to a question from a Banner
reporter as to whether or not The could
raise his home supplies on his farm.
“A farmer can certainly do better rais
ing his home supplies with cotton as an
incidental crop than be can by raising
all cotton and nothing else and then
selling the staple at a dead loss for sev
en cents per pound.”
“Then why don’t the farmers do that
very thing?” was asked of this farmer.
“Simply, because, under existing cir
cumstances, they cannot,” was the re
ply. “Nearly every farmer is in debt,
and the only crop that commands mon
ey readily is cotton. Of course they all
plant it, try to get out of debt, aud in
stead go deeper and deeper, and as a
consequence are found in such strait
ened circumstances. There ra a fasci
nation about planting cotton, and it
does seem that the main idea of tbe
farmer is to get more land and raise
more cotton.”
“Taking my own case, however, I
can say that I have broken off slightly
from this habit, and am now raising
some of my home supplies. I have
found that the refuse from my table is
fully sufficient to feed enough hogs to
make my meat for a year, aud thus
there is this much saved that once went
for nothing. My wife looks after the
cows, the milk, the butter, the chick
ens, the eggs, and I find in this a con
siderable saving. I have to some ex
tent cut down my cotton
crop, and put the extra
labor in raising hay for my cattle, and
like pursuits. I believe that the sooner
farmers break away from the custom of
raising so much cotton and turn their
attention to raising more home supplies
the better for them and the country.”
The Banner reporter soon met up
with a thrifty farmer from Oglethorpe,
and asked him what he was doing with
himself these hard times.
Well,” he replied, “I’ve just
come up to Athens to
sell a few bales of cotton and get some
money for Christmas times.”
It was soon found out during the
conversation that this farmer had plen
ty of nice meat in his smoke house,
corn in his crib, and had brought to i rSIZiTn?. 1 ° r , mo l0#8e ?
his cotton to get a little spending mon- ' ? ustal “ ed b 7 that fnnd and because of
ey for the folks at home. He had
raised his home supplies.
