THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1911.
THE COMMISSIONER
OE AGRICULTURE
Place in Georgia that is wanted
by Several Prominant men
Well qualified.
Atlanta, Feb. 18.—The last time a
race for commissioner of agriculture
made Its appearance, it was, in a
measure conditioned upon the candi
dacy of ommlssioner T. G. Hudson
for re-election. That is, It was tacitly
understood that if Mr. Hudson made
Hie race again, Instead of runing for
congress in the third district as he
,had some Idea- of doing, there would
be. no opposition.
This time, however, a race appears
to have taken on well defined pro
portions some eighteen months in ad.
vance of the next primary which will
not be held until August 1912, and it
is said that this contest will be car
ried on to a finish regardless of Com
missioner Hudson’s intentions as to
another term.
At any rate this is the attitude ot
Hon. J. D. Price of Oconee, who is
squarely in the race and has, thus
early in the game, begun his canvass.
Mr. Price who was in the last state
senate and who is well known
throughout the state, has already be
gun making trips here and there In
the interest of his candidacy. Furth
ermore, Mr. Price says no matter who
gets into the scrimmage, he is in
there to win and is going to see it
through.
Report also has it that a similar
attitude will also, probably, be assum
ed by Hon. J. J. Connor of Bartow,
former president of the slate agricul
tural society and for several terms
chairman of the general agricultural
committee of the house of representa
tives. Mr. Conlior has long had his
eye on the office of commissioner of
agriculture, and he doesn't feel like
waiting any longer to make the effort
toward getting It.
Hon. L. H. O. Marlin of Elbert fs
another, almost certain candidate.
He Is one of those who would have
been In the race last time, had not
Commissioner Hudson sought another
term. His politico-agricultural repu
tation also comes, in a measure,
through having served as chairman
of the general agricultural committee
of the house.
Then there is Hon. Robert
Wright of Elbert, also, long assistant
commissioner of agriculture and still
occupying that position, whose
, friends feel that lie is entitled, after
all these years, to promotion to the
-higher dignity. Of course If Com
mlssloner Hudson runs again, Mr.
Wright will keep out of the race and
retain his present position; but if
Mr. Hudson decides on something
else, why Mr. Wright’s candidacy
may be put down an an asbsolute cer
tainty.
Now about Commissioner Hudson.
He has had his eye on the congres
sional seat from the third district for
sometime, and all but got into the
race last jrear. Asked as to his pres
ent Intentions, he is silent, upon the
theory, as he puts it, that It Is too
early to talk about a contest so far
In the future.
There Is, too, another reason why
Commissioner Hudson Is not talka
tive. If Georgia gets another con
gressman if will necessitate a redis-
trlctlng of the state into twelve con
gressional districts. And it this Is
done, it Is not altogether improbable
that the third district may be badly
split up, putting the present congress
man, Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, In otfe
district snd Commissioner Hudson,
whose home fs in Americus, In anoth
er. Naturally, that would make
quite a difference, so that before any
congressional races develop around In
that section of the state, proapective
candidates will have to wait and see
both what congress and the state leg
islature are going to do,—congress,
in the matter of increasing the num
ber of representatives and the legisla
ture, in the matter of redlstricting
the state.

AN IDIOTIC, OR WEAK- A
MINDED MURDERER. A
A
A A Wifa Dead. Terifie Expense of A
A Trial. An Increasing Idiotic A
A Family. ♦
AAAAA’AAAAAAAAAAA
Georgia haa Juat bad to atand the
heavy expense of a murder trial, be
■Idea the loaa of the life of the mur
dered wife, by neglecting a large
family, which, the jkdge~said, ie filled
with idiotic member*.
Think of the crimes committed;
vile diseases scattered; the worth
lessness and the poor grade of work
(when they work); the civic injury
by enlarged taxes, and the’ depvecta-
tion of tax values, and the lowered
moral standards where these fami
lies congregated.
An Orphans' Home has in three
weeks been asked to take four such
motherless and six fatherless children
from their mentally and morally de
generate parents, also a month old
baby;
Is It Wise to Neglect Them?
Thtr state had best take ail the de
fective younger members of-such fam
ilies and put them in a Farm School
where the little brain and heart and
hand can be trained- Tlilft is success
fully done in many states. They
should be kept segregated, or under
v. ateh care, especially until the wo
men are safe from the temptations
of vile men.
Georgia needs such a Farm School
for the Idiotic, of feeble-minded, and
a colony for the epileptic in connec-
lion with it.
Let no new idiotic family be allow
ed to spring lip to curse our fair
stnte.
