ticultural society has been a busy one

ing of papers, the discussions upon
the various topics taken up and the
reports of committees^ every moment

The program of the meeting has

Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.—Official
Washington Is awaiting with no little
Interest news of the result of tho
spccinl election in Arizona today to
decide upon the ratification or rejec
tion of the constitution framed for
the new state. If the constitution Is
adopted by the people of Arizona It
will be sent to Washington Imme
diately for the approval of the pres
ident and congress. That the mat
ter will be a subject of some lively
debates In congress is a foregone con'
elusion.
The constitutional convention of
Arizona met at Phoenix, beginning Its
sessions last October. After sixty-
one da; s of spirited debate It adopted
ah Instrument designated by the ma
jority members as the most progres
sive ever formed and by the minor
ity as the most socialistic. While
either of these views may be exag-
gregated there Is no denying the fact
that the Arizona constitution con
tains more new Ideas and theories
of government than even that of Ok
lahoma and should the state be'ad
mitted under It, It will give the op
to test them never before
hie to Horticulture In Georgia," which
was read and listened to with great
Interest by all present. Mr. Flnley'i
paper was along the line of using the
horticultural advantages of this state
so as to make them of the highest
value and as applied to the horticul
tural industry, It falls under two
branches, conservation as applicable
to production and conservation as ap
plicable to marketing.
•The Present Status of the Pecan
Industry,” by J. B. Wight, of Cairo,
was of special Interest to the people
of this section as well as the mem
bers of the society, ns this Industry is
exciting great attention and is being
much talked about all-over the south
just now. As one who has been In
the pecan business for a number of
years, Mr. Wight was able to speak
from personal experience.
The address of Professor Craig, of
Cornell university, was along the line
of diseases in fruit trees and attract
ed especial attention, many questions
being llred at him from different
members in regard to the treatment
of the various diseases. Professor
Craig Is much interested in the grow
ing of pecans In this section and otvns
interests In that business near Al
bany.
Professor :SouIe, of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, was unable to at
tend the meeting as he was in charge
of the "School on Wheels.” Among
the many interesting speakers were
Prof. T. H. Mcllatton, of the Univer
sity of Georgia -Agricultural school;
ll. W. Hunt, of Katonton; H. P.
Stuckey, of the Georgia experiment
station; P. F. Williams, Alabama ex
periment station; P. J. HJort, of
Thomasville, and several others. Col.
I. C. Wade, of Cornelia, presided in
the chair during the sessions today.
The aftemon session was devoted
chiefly to reports, etc., the election of
officers and a place of meeting. L.
A. Berckmans, of Augusta, was elect
ed president, to succeed his father;
B. W. Hunt, of Eatonton, vice presi
dent; T. H. Mcllatton, treasurer, and
J. B. Wight, secretary.
The next meeting will be held in
Athens in January, It being proposed
to bold a joint session with the State
Agricultural society, the Dairymen's
association, etc., which meet in that
city at that time.
TO PROMOTE PAN-
AMERICAN TRADE.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.—The
Pan-American Union, formerly known
as the Bureau of American Republics,
is rapidly completing all arrange
ments for the Pan-American Commer
cial Congress, which is to be held
here next week. Vhe purpose of the
conference, as announced by its pro
motors, is to awaken the commercial
organizationcs, business men and
general public of both North and
South Aemrlca to an appreciation of
the possibilities of Pan-American
commerce and the necessity of get
ting ready for the commercial
changes which will be brought about
by the opening of the Panama canal.
The conference will be unique in
that no platform or resolutions of a
controversial nature will be consid
ered.
In Texas, if you don't get a seat on
the street cars, you only have to pay
three cents for a live cents ride. The
Havannah Press ventures the opinion
that this Is taking a strap to the car
owners Instead of making the pas
sengers reach for one.
Among the distinctive features pro
vided in the constitution are the
initiative and referendum, the recall
of all elective officers, including the
Judiciary; amendment to the consti
tution by a majority vote of the peo
ple upon the Initiative of 13 per cent
of the voters; rigid corporation regu
lation, with a provision designed to
nboilsh "wild-catting"; physical valu
ation of railroads as a basis for rate
regulation; non-partisan election of
the Judiciary, direct primaries, and an
employers' liability provision abrogat
ing the fellow servant doctrine.
While the opponents of the consti
tution in Arizona have made a warm
campaign to prevent its adoption it is
generally believed that it will be rati
fied by a majority of the voters at to
day’s election. Speculation therefore
centers in the fate of the moasttre
when it reaches Washington. It is
reported on what Is regarded as good
authority -that President Taft Is not
likely to approve of the constitution
as it now stands and that he will in
sist upon the elimination of the Initia
tive. referendum anil recall and prob
ably some of the other provisions be-
tore he gives It his approval.
The conservative element in con
gress is also likely to put up a strong
opposition to the constitution. On
the other hand, the progressives will
welcome the chance to make a hard
light in ItSsdavor; Many of the pro
gressive leaders in the senate have
publicly declared their intention to
fight for the approval of the constitu
tion, among the number being Sena
tor I.a Follette of Wisconsin, Cum
mins of Iowa, Clapp of Minnesota,
Dixon of Montana, Ilrown of Nebras
ka and Brlstow-of Kansas.

no means unamlous. Practically
from the beginning of steam naviga
tion in this country there was a ten
dency to increase the size of seagoing
vessels. The constant Increase In
the size of the steamers soon made
the docking facilities of the port of
New York-inadequate. The piers had
to be lengthened to correspond with
the length of the eteamers. But the
ships continued to increase In length
and draft and quickly outgrew their
berths. Again the piers had to be
lengthened and this see-sawing con
tinued until the United States govern
ment, which has juridlctlon over all
navigable waters of the country and,
therefore over New York Bay and ItY
branches and over the North River or
Hudson, refused to permit any furth
er lengthening of the pieri, because
they would Interfere with the naviga
tion on the Hudson river. This did
not stop the eteameblp companies,
however, from Increasing the size of
their ships. Economic reasons com
pelled them to do so, and, when they
found that they could not obtain ade-
nuote docking facllltlee Ih New York
they threatened to establish their
terminals docks in some' other port
where they, could obtain space enough
for properly docking their gigantic
steamers. Of course, It Is well un
derstood that the docking facilities
could be Increased, without extend
ing the piers Into the river, by ac-
qulrlng additional shore property and
extending the ships farther toward
the land; but that would cost a great
deal of money and tbe shipping inter
ests do not favor any plan that would
involve any large expenditure of mon
ey, if they ran gain their object In
some other, lees expensive way. They
rare little. If anything, about tbe dan
ger of obstructing the navigability of
the Hudson, so long as they can save
money by obtaining permission to ex
tend their piers. Powerful pressure
will be brought to hear upon the gov
ernment to obtain the tfealred conces
sions and the shipping Interests seem
to be confident of success.
Pennsylvania Station Inadaquata.
The big Pennsylvania station In
Manhattan, that gigantic structure
which It hud cost many million of dol
lars to build, has only been opened
to traffic a- few months and already
Its Inadequacy has been so clearly
demonstrated that the terminal com
pany has decided to remodel the sta
tion and extend It to accommodate
the enormoue commuters traffic. As
It Is scarcely probale that the sub
urban traffic has suddenly assumed
such tremendous proportions since
the terminal was planned, It seems
that. Jhj company displayed a deplor-
abTe lack of farsightedness In not
making adequate provisions for this
steadily growing part of the trans

Two Prety English Girls.
Two prety girls arrived here from
England the other day on one of the
transatlantic steamers. They had
booked under the name of Gladys and
I^ena de Clifford. The Immigration
Inspector learned that the girls In
buying their tickets had said that de
Clifford was their mother’s maiden
name. When they were Interviewed
by the Inspector upon their arrival
they admitted that they used their
mother's name. They had come over
to visit friends and expected, If pos
sible, to settle here. Their mother,
they said, was a granddaughter of a
llaron de Clifford. It required consid
erable coaxing and diplomacy on the
part of the inspector to draw from
the girls that they lmd taken their
mother's name because their father's
name was Redhead and that the prin
cipal object of their coming io this
country was to get rid of their maid
en name as soon as possible. Roth
Were permitted to land.
Small Things Cause Trouble.
Small and Insignificant causes
sometimes lead to disproportionately
big results. The other night It snow
ed a trifle, so little. In fact, that many
late risers could not see a trace of
the snow In the morning. Yet this
slight snowfall was the primary cause
of considerable trouble. A man liv-
itig on tbe top floor of a tenement In
tfllltamsburg, arose at daybreak and
wont to the flat roof of hls house to
sweep away the snow. Some of the
snow fell on the ledge of a window of
the adjoining house and the occupant
of the flat to watch that window-be
longs. ‘objected. TFhe'mah on the roof
paid no attention to the protest, but
continued to dump the snow from bis
rdof. This angered the man next
ddor. He hastily dressed, went to
the roof and attacked bis neighbor.
The fight attracted the attention of
an Italian living in a house on the
other side of the street. With the In
tention of-stopping the fight he fired
several revolver shots. One of the
bullets crashed through a window and
barely missed a woman who sent up
a cry of "Fire.” Somebody turned In
an.alarm and the lire department re
sponded. In turning a corner one of
ttye engines struck the curb and top
pled over. The driver was painfully
Injured and the horses came near
running away. In the meantime the
reserves of the nearest police station
arrived on the spot and assisted the
firemen In searching for the blaze.
Tfcey found no fire, but. hearing a
noise on the roof, they Investigated
aid upon reaching the houstop found
the two men still belaboring each
other. Both were arrested and sent
to the hospital for repairs.

Columbus, O., Feb. 9.—Arrange

"played hookey.” She remonstrated
with him and he disappeared. The
next she beard from his was that he
was in the city Jail at Athens under
charge of having about 3 o’clock in
th4 morning taken a tiny bicycle from
tbk front porch of an Athens resi
dence.
wjt! be received by the officials of the
exposition and a reception commit
tee of citizens, who will escort him
from the union station to the Ohio
fair grounds, where he is to deliver
bis address. Following his address
the president will be taken on an
automobile ride about the city. He
w(h dine at his hotel and leave the
city about 10 p. m. for Springfield, Ill.,
where he Is to speak at tbe Lincoln
anniversary banquet Saturday night.
Dr. W. K. Lewis, associated with
Dr. E. M. Neighbert in the cattle tick
eradication work by the United States
government, was in the city yester
day looking over the Held with a view
fo the possible beginning of a cam
paign to clear Clarke county of the
danger of the tick fever and the tick
which communicates it.
The government has appropriated
nn annual amount of $250,000 to fight
the fever tick in the Southern states
Rlone. Headquarters have been es
tablished at Spartanburg, S. C., a cen
tral point, and Dr. Neighbert is in
charge. There are associated with
him several experts sent out by the
bureau of animal industry of the de
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton and they are doing splendid work
in eradicating the pest which hHs f cost
the stock raisers And cattle men of
the South incalculable loss.
Six counties in Georgia have been
cleaned of the pest—Rabun, Union,
White, Towns, Stephens and Haber
sham. Work is now under way In
Hart, Greene and Putnam. In one
o! the counties Jt was found that two-
thrids of the cattle, dairy and breed
ing cattle, were infested with the tick,
It is said that more than ten per cent
of the cattle of the South die from
tlie fever which is inoculated by the
tick. The counties infected are quar
antined against by the government,
both federal and state. Cattle rais
ers in Clarke, for example, cannot
ship cattle into any other county of
Jhe state except for immediate beef
purposes.
Dr. Lewis stated that he has learn
ed that at least one fine animal on
i he farm of tfce state college of agri
culture has died from fever commun
icated by the tick. There are sever
al herds In the county Infested, he
stated. The county commissioners
will take up the matter at their next
meeting—the 21st—and the question
will he considered of employing an
Inspector. The co-operation of the
county with the state and government
Dr. l^wls thinks, would result in the
denning up of Clarke county In two
years—so that Clarke would have the
right to ship cattle or fine breeding
stock Jo any other county of the state
or Into other states. Tho county, in
many Instances fn Georgia and South
Carolina, employs an inspector; the
state has an appropriation of $5,000
for the purpose and will also send an
inspector to assist, and the govern
ment inspector will meet with them
and work the county if tho people
wish the country rid of this post.
These inspectors visit every suspect^
ed herd or head of cattle every three
weeks and direct the treatment neces
sary to exterminate the tick. When
the eradication is complete iu the
county then the county becomes offi
cially able to ship Its cattle anywhere
and is quarantined against the bring
ing of infested cattle into the county.
The elimination of the cattle tick
will make possible the building up
of a great cattle Industry—not only
Insuring better stock, fever deaths,
and better yield, but allowing legally
the raisers of cattle to get a market
with the products of their stock farm.
The college of agriculture is in
favor of the plan to clean up the ticks
In Clarke aud many prominent stock-
men in and near Athena are also anx
ious that Clarke be given the oppor
tunity to become a county where suc
cessful raising of good stock can be
made a profitable Industry.

while before Georgia will be rid en
tirely of the deadly Texas fevor or
cattle tick.. Here in Hall county on
ly one more season Is necessary to
free it of Infestation. The county
commissioners will be asked by the
people of Hall county to furnish one
inspector for this year at an expense
of $200, the state will furnish one
and the government will supply the
third man. By the work of the three
men Hall county will be freed of the
cattle tick and the quarantine line

Jackson county line. When Jackson
Judge Wingfield, ordinary of this
county, is still being beselged by
those who want to know when the
money for the Confederate pension
ers will be in hand. He yesterday re
ceived word from the pension com
missioner that tiie checks will be
drawn today and the money will like
ly be in the hands of the ordinaries
next Tuesday.
The news recieved from the capi-
toi last night was:
After a delay of several weeks on
account of scarcity in funds the pen
sions will be paid in full Monday, ac
cording to an official statement from
the office of the state treasurer. The
receipts for the month have been suf
ficiently large to meet the demand
and tiie entire force in the office at
the capitol is busily engaged writing
checks which will be turned over
Monday, to the ordinaries of the var
ious counties in the state.
The aggregate sum of the pensions
to be paid amounts to $1,114,524, hnd
the balance on hand in the treasury
Thursday morning was $1,223,398.13.
The greater part of this amount Is
on deposit in numerous depositories
throughout tiie state. For this rea
son it will bo nqcessary to draw up
a great many more checks than there
are counties in order to supply the
sum required for the payment through
the ordinaries of tho different coun
ties.
State Treasurer J. B. Brown was
called out of the city Wednesday
night on account of a death in bis
family and he is not expected to re
turn until Monday morning. Immed
iately upon his return the checks for
the pensions will be signed and mail
ed to the ordinaries. Those entitled
to pensions will be able to- secure
them by Tuesday or Wednesday at
the latest by calling on the ordinar
ies of their respective counties.
The warrant for tiie payment of
the pensions will be drawn by Gov.
Joseph Brown Thursday afternoon or
Friday morning, ns tbe requisitions
have already been filed.
When the time came for the pay
ment of the pensions provided for it
ns found that there was a lack of
funds in tho treasury, .most of the
money on hand having been paid out
t« the teachers of the state.
Tho regular monthly reports from
the collectors of each county fell due
Monday, February 6, at which time
the receipts began to show a steady
Increase. More than $200,000 was re
el ved Wednesday and about $75,000
aine In Thursday morning. The near-
beer tax receipts from Richmond
ounty alone amounted to more than
$29,000.
The Bta«.e treasurer reports that
there are still several coupons and
bonds for 1911 due, but that the funds
on band are sufficient to meet the
demand.
