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.

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 GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION. The Minutes of the Association Last Convention.

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 •f office. 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.

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. THE K AND D DISCHARGING MEN. Richmond, Va , Dec. 15.—Two hun dred and fifteen men at the shops of the Richmgnd and Danville railroad in Manchester were discharged today.

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.

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. The stamping companies will then be asked to make tfSdavite as to tbs ' into plsttodL Mr. Ayer said that he bad Deports from the "Tinned Plate Manu facturer*’ Association of America. ” 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.

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.
