HEADS DAISY ASS0CIATI01
The Most Successful Meetinjr Ever Held of the Geor-
jfia Dairymen and Live Slock Association Came
To a Conclusion With the Annual Election
of Officers Vesterday.
The Hon. "Jim" Price again heads
the Georgia Dairy and Lire Stock As
sociatlon. And it may be said in
passing that no more capable and
enthusiastic member of the organisa
tion could hare been chosen to lead
the association for another year-
one of the most important- organisa
tions in the South.
The other officers elected yester
day evening were Hon. G. F. Hunnl-
cutt, rice president, and Prof. M. P.
Jarnagln, secretary and treasurer.
The program was carried out In
full -yesterday with the addition o'
the addresses by several on the pro
gram who were unavoidably kepi
away the day before.
Important Resolutions.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the associa
tion Just before adjournment yester
day:
Resolved, That we view with much
concern the disposition of the real
dents of towns and cities and the
representatives of various Industrial
agencies to favor the repeal of the
tax on oleomargarine, tbua placing
this imitation of the dairymen’s pro
duct on a competitive basis with pure
wholesome butter, which Is an ex-
pensive article to produce under ex
isting conditions. It is realized and
has been clearly demonstrated that
through animal industries the fertllf
ty of the land can alone be main
tained and a permanent system of
agriculture developed. To foster the
dairy Industry means to provide a
home market for the state’s most
Important concentrate—cotton seed
meal. For these reasons we are op
posed to the repeal of the tax on oleo
margarine, and urge our representa
tives in congress to vote against any
change In the present law.
Resolved, That this association
memorialize the legislature to appro
priate such funds as may bo neces
sary to manufacture the various pro
ductive serums which have been
shown to be serviceable In affording
either temporary or permanent Im
munity to live stock. We particular
ly urge the enactment of Auch mess
tires as will enable the manufacture
of hog cholera serum. In our opin
ion the manufacture of the serum
should be undertaken by the College
of Agriculture because of the mater
ial equipment available and the ad
vantage It will be to the students.
We realize that the state commis
sioner of agriculture has the work of
this association at heart as sbown
by bis offers of co-operation and as-
sltance in furthering the Interests of
our work. We desire to express out
thanks for the consideration extend
ed to us by him and bis assistants.
We are delighted to see the pro
gresa being made in the eradication
of the cattle tick. We realize that
Its presence Is a permanent menace
ic the development of our live stock
Industries. We appreciate the ap
propriatlon which the legislature has
seer, proper to make am: the com
mendable effort put forth by
state veterinarian and the State de
partment of agriculture in promoting
the work of tick eradication. We are
glad to see the spirit of cooperation
existing between the state and fed
eral authorities In this matter. In
our opinion a larger sum of money
should be appropriated for the furth
erance of this work tjy the legislature
which meets In June.
We desire to commend the excel
lent service which is being rendered
the people of the state through the
agencies of the extension department
of the State College of Agriculture.
We believe this Is one of the most
potent agencies for disseminating
useful information and advancing the
Interests of the farmer. We favor
the appropriation of additional funds
for this purpose as advocated by the
Incoming governor. We realize the
necessity of publicity with regard to
all agricultural Butters. ' We appre
ciate the need of more work being
done to stimulate and redirect the
effort of the adult farmer, and we
feel that in the development of ttv
boyi' club work the problem of In
troducing Instruction in ' agriculture
into the public schools is being ap
proacbed In the right manner.
1A1 an association we appreciate
the courtestea which have been ex
tended to ua by the board, of trustees
cf the college of agriculture in print-
log and diitrlbuting the programa for
this meeting and In assisting in pub
lishing and distributing the annual
deport, and also for providing us with
n suitable hall In which to hold our
meeting.
We desire to express our thanks to
the various railroad- whe hevp re-
operated In nuking thia meeting a
success by making reduced rates to
Athena and return.
We are appreciative of the many
coarteslei received at the hands of
the press and take this opportunity
to record our thanks for the same.
The operation ot a second educa
tional train throughout Georgia
meets with our hearty approval. We
understand that this train will reach
140 towns, some 114 counties and
cover 9,000 miles of railway, tn our
Judgment there Is m more effective
agency which can be employed for
bringing the value of scientific re
search in agriculture to the attention
of a large per cent of the state’a pop
ulation and giving new direction to
their thought and energy.
We alao desire to express our ap
preciation of the splendid addresses
make by Dr. Tait Butler, of Missis
sippi and Dr. D. H. Morgan, of Co
lumbia, 9. C. These eminent author
ities on horses have come to our
convention from neighboring states
and we desire to especially express
the sentiments of the association—
in appreciation of their Interest an
their addresses.

New Judge Lays Responsibility
For Crime on Numeious “Vagrants”
Judge Brand of tbla, the Western
circuit of the state, has recently "be
gun a campaign agaiast the ^'pistol-
toter.” His suggestion baa been tak
en up by many other Judgea in var
ious parts of not only this but other
states and- the sentiment seems to be
sweeping the county.
It remains for soother Judge, the
Judge of the Northeastern circuit,
Judge J. B. Jones, of Toecoa, to be
gin another movement which baa for
its object the wiping out of the "va
grancy evil" in the country. Judge
Jonea believes that moat of the crime
Is attributable to the vagrant and In
his first charge to a grand Jury be
had the following to aay:
"Many Judges have some partlcu-
lar hobby tbat ta presented as being
somewhat paramount to other minor
laws, and I confess to you tbat I be
lieve tbe law against vagrants should
be most vigilantly enforced. The
man that can work and won't work
ought not to be tolerated in any com-
unlawful it is because be is too cow
ardly, and his wife is feeding him.
As a rule, it is tbe man who don't
work that commits crims, the liquor
seller, the thief, the gambler, the
rapist, are nearly always from the
ranks of those who neither toll nor
do they spin. In my Judgment Idle
ness, with Its kindred voices, is the
real mud sill for nine-tenths of the
crime committed. Suppose that if
every honest man in this town should
come together as one man and report
to you with evidence the name of
every man in the town who was not
making an honest living, and keep
the movement up for a few years, we
could make the town a better town
in every respect, and Iwhen I say
etery man not making an honest liv
ing, I include the bad women also.
This town is no worse than any oth
er town, but if it la any better tt is
not reported. So you can see that I
am dead against the idling, loafing,
law breaking vagrant, mose of whom
are In the cities and larger towns of
munlty; if he is not doing something our country.”

The entire family of Mr. Alonso now recovering, though two are si III
Parr baa been aertouiiy Hi for tbf
past few days from ptomaine poison
ing, supposed to havo been caused by
eating old-fashioned some-meat Sun
day night. Alt the elck ones are
confined to their rooms. Mrs. Parr,
two daughters and two sons were af
tected by the poisoning and were vio
lently ill for some time after eating

country.
This year there are fire companies
In the Cadet Battalion where there
were only four last year. Also,
signal corps has been organized this
year which has become an Important
addition to tbe outfit. Tbe boys hare
learned the code of signals well and
have become quite expert In sending
messages even at long distances
Thia is the only school signal detach
ment in the state and among the few
ii: the country.
.lip to this time the battalion la In
much better condition than it was at
this time last year and the boys have
been working at company and bat
talion drill In close order. From now-
on they will drill in extended order:

"Butts' Manual” and guard mounting.
In the spring ride practice wilt be
taken up, both on the range with the
big rifles and alao gallery practice
with the regular gallery rifles of .22
calibre which have been secured this
yrar. This means that some good
shots will be developed among tbe
cadets and probably next year a rifle
ttam will be organised and partici
pate In the collegiate contests In
which there is so much Interest be
ing taken all over the country.
The oand with thirty one pieces

y«ar and can compare favorably with
any cadet band. This It one thing
that the univeraity has always boast

year it is not below the standard.

Commerce Has Organized
For a Great Agricultural^
Exposition For Four
Counties.
(Special to The Banner.)
Commerce, Ga„ Jan. 18.—A meet
ing of the stockholders of the Big
Four County Fair was held at the
council chamber last evening, and
temporary organization perfected.
Practically the full amount of the
capital stock has already been sub
scribed, and it was decided to effect
temporary organization preparatory
to obtaining a charter and then per
manent organization. Practically ail
of the stock thus far subscribed has
been subscribed by the merchants
and business men of Commerce, and
the farmers of Jackson, Banks Frank
lin and Madison counties will now be
given an opportunity to subscribe for
the remainder of this stock.
Mayor John B. Hardman acted as
chairman, and Col. H. O. Williford
as secretary of the meeting. A com
mittee of three, consisting of former
Mayor C. J. Hood, Editor John F.
Shannon, and Col. R. L. J. Smith
was appointed for the purpose of pre
paring and obtaining charter for the
Big Four County Fair, and this com
mittee will see to It that the charter
la obtained at the very earliest mo
ment possible under the law.
The election of ten temporary dl
rectors, six from Commerce and one
each from the counties of Jackson,
Banka, Madison and Franklin, was
then held, and resulted as follows:
Messrs. W. L. Williamson, H. O, Wl!
Ilford, W. D. Williford, J. F. Shan
non. J. B. Hardman, and C. J. Hood,
of Commerce, and Messrs. Walt C
Davis from Jackson county, G. D.
McGinnis from Madison county, P. N
Little from Franklin county, and J
G. Strange from Banka county. It Is
expected that tbeso director* will
meet in the near future and organize
with the election of president, vice-
presidents, secretary and treasurer.
No better set of dtrector* could pos
aibty hove btin choftcn than the one*
selected last evening, and thejr elec
tion has done much to Insure the suc
cess of the Four County Fair.
The object and aim of the citizens
of Commerce In organizing the Four
County Fair Is to increase the In
terest In agriculture and to do ail In
their power to promote the progress
snd prosperity of the farmers Ilvini
In the adjacent counties.
The business men of Commerce
who are hack of this enterprise know
no such word ns fail, and with the
splendid board of directors already
chosen, It is confidently predicted
that the Four County Fair will prove
a big success from the beginning.
Policeman Paul Last Night Ran
Into Supposedly Suspicious Character
A near-mvstery was turned up last
night at the Georgia National Hank
when Patrolman Paul walked In on
a man busily engaged boring with
some sharp Instrument Into the floor
of the buildlg. The policeman saw
a dim light in the building and was
attracted by a dull, hardly discerni
ble sound of grinding. Peering
through the window opening on the
main street he saw a map in ovei*
nils stooping down on the inside of
the building, boring away into the
flooring of the tiled corridor. He
tried the front door of the bank and
found that It was not locked. Fear
ful lest he might frighten away the
quary too quick he stepped around
to the side door to make sure that
It was fast. That door was also un
locked. Se softly opened the door
and (Ip-toed into the building ami
was standing over the over-ailed fig
ure before the owner of the overalls
and the boring instruments knew that
there was anybody about save him
self. The embarrassment was mu
tual. The blue-coated officer whose
duty it is to guard the interests of
the citizens and the places of busi
ness, knew nothing else but to see
what the business of the overalled
man was: the overalled man did not
at first comprehend what business
the officer hnd slipping in on him
while he was busily engaged. Ex
planations followed: The overalled
man is Mr. A. B. Braswell, of Atlanta,
working for a fixture concern which
is installing some new furniture in
the bnnk. In the busy hours of the
hanking day he could not work with
out being in the way of the pat’rctos
of the hank, He worked Sunday and
was to finish the Job last night. Both
the officer and the workman were
doing their duty but the temporary-
embarrassment of the two was the
theme of some Jollying on the part
of their friends.

CHILD WELFARE
IN L. Y.
DISCUSS GRAIN SHRINKAGE.
Chicago, Ill., Jan. 18—Leading grain
men of several states met in con
ference here today with representa
tives of the railroads to discuss the
grain shrinkage problem. The rail
roads have made a practice ot de
ducting one-eighth of 1 per cent for
wheat shrinkage and one-fourth of 1
per cent on coarse grain shrinkage.
The grain men contend that the road*
have no right to make such deduction
unieas they prove that there la a nat
ural shrinkage of grata.
Unique Exhibit is Made, in tbe
Nation’s Metropolis for
Children’s Welfare.
New York, Jan. 18.—No more In
teresting or lDal r ucUve exhibition
ever was held in New York is the
unanmious opinion expressed by a'
countless number ot men and women
who attended the opening of tbe
Child Welfare Exhibit in the Seventy-
first Regiment armory today. The
exhibit will continue several weeks.
Its purpose, as set forth In the an
nouncement of tbe promotors, is to
show “the modern tendency towards
scientific child culture on a gigantic
scale and the heroic efforts being put
forth by thousands ot sociological and
chairtable workers to combat the evil
effects of congestion and resultant
condition! on the children of New
York, and to save tbe eity from a
weak, unhappy future citizenship."
The good and evil features of the
moving-picture show and its amaxing
