THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, nil. IE SEVEMH BACK" A Sketch of the Next Ooveroor of Georgia Written By Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall of the Savannah Press. Sitting In hi* office In the seventh dory of the Peter* building In Allan- t* Hoke Smith upend* the*e hazy February dan entertaining company. From morning until night there 1* » ■tream of vlultora who are anxious to talk to him confidentially. The visitor 1* ushered into a little hack office overlooking the railroad track*, where the *team and smoke from the passing trains brighten and blacken the window pane*. There are al ways two or three men on hand with the governor-elgpt. Many of them are members of the legislature from different part* of the state who are anaious to find out Hoke Smith s at titude toward the senatorshlp. Some of these are suggested candidates themselves, and they have come to find out what the big fellow really means to do In the premises. The host Is affable and fluent, ?e passes around the cigars and then he begins to talk about everything In the world except the senfftorshlp. His favorite theme Is to deliver a homily upon Georgia, Its great resources and Its brilliant prospects. The man never shows off to better advantage than when he Is preaching about Georgia. The state of Georgia, Its work for good roads, Its wealth of country schools. Its prospect of paying the teachers and always Its duty to teach agriculture In the high schools, the district colleges, the state university, the summer schools and on the farm Itself. Every day on the seventh Door back Hoke flmlth makes an elo quent and Inspiring address upon Georgia. 1 remember more than a year ago n writer from Collier’s magazine wrote a pen picture of this law office In the skyscraping district of Atlan ta. He paid a tribute to the huge man "whose personality fills the room and crowds the furniture against the wall.” Then he describes how Hoke Smith "arose with impul alve enthusiasm, unrolled a wall map of the state, got an umbrella for a pointer and began. “Georgia Is the largest state east of the Mississippi—yon didn't know that, did you? It stretches from the mountains of the north, where the climate Is much like New Hampshire's— didn't know that, did you?—to the semi-tropical counties of the Gulf coast, where we can grow oranges and pineapples. In the north we have an altitude of five thousand feet, hills covered with a wealth of hard wood. A little farther down we bare* the red-clay soil. ■'Here In MlUoh county"—the um brella ferule moved to a point In the northern third of the state— "I know a farmer who raised twelve bales of cotton on four acres of land (the market value of that four-acre crop Is $800). Here In, Newton county I know a farmer who raised last summer seventy-five bushels of corn per acre on a ten-acre field—you didn't know that the South Is as good a corn country as Iowa, did you? Here In the wire-grass country”—the umbrella point moved to the southeast corner of the map—"we are selecting big tracts of ridiculously cheap land and promoting colonies of farm- , ers from the Middle West. Geor gia, sir, Is going to support twen ty million people and raise enough extra to help feed the big North ern cities. My slogan Is: ‘Good roads, good schools, good farms— more white people.’ ” may have combined to bring about a change which has come over the spir it of his dream. Twenty years ago when he came back from Washington City after a three years' term in the cabinet of Orover Cleveland he was keen to be elected to the senate. He was fired with government work and familiar with all the details of the Job. w(is full of ardor for forensic strife, .lust to keep himself In practice be leaped into the campaign against free silver and debate^ with Speaker Crisp In every part of the state. Not him self a candidate for the senate, he contested every Inch of ground with the silver champion and bore himself surprisingly well In his first efforts before the people. Since then he has been hard work In the law office with an occa slonal foray In politics. He has sounded the depths and shoals of po- lltlcal life, lie has enjoyed Its hon ors and experienced Its defeats. He has been the center of enthusiasm nnd the object of popular distrust by turn. Two years ago the business men In the skyscrapers In Atlanta turned down his petltfon for re-elec tion. Insist August the bankers and merchants of that city met him at the train the night before the election and escorted him on foot to hi* home West Peachtree street, cheering him to victory. He has spoken In every county In Georgia and won varying opinions from all sorts of people. He Irankly says that the senatorshlp does not seem to him to be the big prize It once was. The gaudia certamlnls has dwindled In his breast. He has made a competency and he does not want to fritter It all away In politics. He craves some time for reading and leisure and appeals to the people on other lines than politics. He does not care about pressing his own claims, naturally. As years crowd upon us the things which loom big and bright In early life sink below the horizon Possibly as Goldsmith said, Hoke Smith would like to crown ‘‘a life of labor with an age of ease." He has written his policies upon the statute books, nnd for two more years going to stand guard upon them In the governor's office. The man with whom he was brought Into sharpest rivalry In Georgia, and who In two campaigns managed the race of his oponent, now lies prostrate In the hospital, his recovery a. matter of ex treme uncertainty. And so his own ambitions and his animosities, If be ever cherished them, *Te fading away. We should not say that Hoke Smith I* "broken with the storms of state, but rather that the humor In the blood Is modified and "waits upon the Judg ment.” Those who have been near to Governor Smith and talked with him do not believe that he cares farthing about stirring up another dissension In the senatorshlp fight Rut for the peculiar position In which he Is placed It Is probable he would be elected easily without the heated strife of his past two campaigns, A New Club To Be Organ ized at the University of Georgia Composed of Foreigners. The Northern correspondent had taken a long Southern trip to Inter view Hoke Smith, and that Is what he got. The men who visit him now from all parts of the state are getting tbla every day In amplified and em phatic form. If Collier's correspond ent wanted to hear about politics then be did not bear It, and the visi tor now who goes up to sound the governor-elect upon the senatorial situation comes back uninformed When Hoke Smith went out last spring and summer to his gubernato rial campaign he made "Georgia" the burden of his speech and that was the time to mention politics. That was what he went for presumably, but he found a more Interesting theme. Always Georgia and an apotheosis of her limits and her possessions. From Quitman to Quartz, In Rabun county, hetalked about ‘‘Georgia." Some times he forgot about the "reaction- ar.es" and lightened up on the “lobby ists” In the overshadowing theme which claimed his attention and loosened his tongue. So It Is today apparently; be has put aside the sen atorshlp and la preaching deep plow ing and fertilization. He talks farm ing with Colonel Peek of Rockdale and discuss sclentififlc methods with Dr. Soule of Athens. He astonishes the farmer-politician In the legisla ture by knowing more about their planting operations than they do themselves. He says he has several hundred acres In Fulton county which he Is breaking up for spring planting. Most people had an Idea that he was spending his time writing letters to tbs legislature. But so far as I can see this Is a mistake. Several things Hoke Smith realizes that he has some good friends who may get Into the race. There Is Murphey Candler, who has managed two campaigns for him and who has been his right bow er In the legislature. Then there Is Congressman Hardwick, who has brought on the bitterest fight of his life by his loyalty to Hoke Smith, There Is Judge Covington, who has supported him eloquently upon the hustings and upheld his policies In the legislative halls. There Is'Judge Lawson, of Eatonton, who presided over his convention and who has al ways advanced the policies of Pro gressive Democracy. Judge Law-son was at one time a member of con gress from the Eighth district, a Judge upon the bench, a member of the censtitutioi^I convention and was spoken of as a candidate for governor last summer. So far as can be seen Hoke Smith has not espoused the in terest of any particular man. It may be that he realizes that Atlanta and North Georgia could not In fairness monopolize all the high offices, all events he is keeping himself In the background and guarding the properties of the situation. Whether he thinks that any one of these men can land the senatorship is uncertain ."hose nearest to him have expressed au expectation that South Georgia would insist upon a candidate. So far with one exception those suggest ed from this Bectlon have not been of his "school of thought.” He has made no suggestion about a primary, nnd If he w-ere a candidate he would probably show more interest In pre liminary arrangements. So those who have seen him and talked with him nnd those around him have gotten the Idea that Hoke Smith Is not a candidate for United States senator, and that he does not expect to put himself In a place where he could be voted for. Of course if the legislature should Insist upon electing him he would have to consid er whether he could put aside the proffer. But by the time the legisla ture meets that body may be pretty thoroughly canvassed by the dark horses In their own interest and the A new organization Is to be form ed at the University of Georgia to be known as the "Cosmopolitan Club," the members of which are those stu dents who are of foreign birth and whose homes are In countries outside the United States proper. There are four natives of China regularly ma triculated at the institution this term, one from Japan Is taking a course, one from Cuba Is on the list, two Russians are members of the col lege community and there Is one Ital ian—the latter, by the way, and one of the Chinese students, being good baseball players. Last year there was a prominent young business man of high family in India who was at the State College of Agriculture studying cotton culture and cotton grading. The oldest state university In the Union Is drawing special atu dents from many lands and In the more than a century of history there have been no less than 175 foreign ers who were entered aa students here. The Cosmopolitan club will have a membership of about a dozen Including several honorary members from the faculty and the city.

Can It be that Hoke Smith is look Ing over the heads of the senatorial gladiators, gazing through the dows In the seventh floor back where the steam and smoke etch their lights and shadows upon the pane? There mny be something else In his mind The South may be In a position to de mand the vice presidency from the next national Democratic convention Mr. Bryan, who lectured in Atlanta last night upon his Bible theme, was Introduced by Hoke Smith. Mr. Bry an even mentioned the governor-elect as a presidential possibility, it may be that Hoke Smith has something bigger in his mind than the senator- ship. The state convention last year Indorsed film ns a presidential possl blllty. So when he delivers his mon ologues upon'agriculture and purpose ly Ignores politics to the visitors who crowd Into his office day by day "he may be breaking up the field" for a broader and bigger contest. Possibly he might be willing to preside over the senate, for Democratic victory Is pretty certain this time nnd Georgia HI have preponderating Influence In the convention. She is at least enti tled to second place. When Hoke Smith unrolls the map of Georgia and speaks rapturously of the biggest state east of the Mississippi to his wondering callers he may realize thaf Georgia, the youngest of the thirteen, la one of the most powerful of the forty-five; and that the state which gave the vice president to the Con federacy may now be ready to furnish the office of "second In command’’ to the United States. P. A. 8. .C, Washington. D. C., Feb 20.—There are four practical metbodi that may be employed In freeing cattle and paa- tures of Texas fever ticks: (1) Pick ing or brushing off the ticks; (2) smearing or spraying the animals with a disinfecting solution; (3) dipping tlie "tlcky" animals In a vat contain ing a solution capable of killing the ticks without Injury to the cattle (4) a systematic pasture rotation whereby the ticks are eliminated by changing the cattle to one pasture af ter another, allowing the ticks to drop off, and preventing new ticks from getting on the cattle. In sections where there arc large herds and ranches, dipping or spray ing on a large scale has been success fully carried out, ellher alone or In conjunction with pasture rotation, while In other sections, where the cattle on farms consist of only a few head, hand dressing with oil has been found to be the most practical plan. The methods above suggested, there fore, auuply to different sections of the country, and the stockman or far mer should select the one which is best suited to his particular ease. Picking on Brushing Off the Ticks, Where the herd Is small the ticks may be picked off by hand or scraped off with a dull' knife or currycomb. Tbla should be done at least three times a week in order to remove all the largo ticks before they mature and fall off, aa by this Bystem tbe smaller tlcka which at first escape de tectlon will be found before they are fully developed. After removal the tlcka ahould be destroyed, preferably by burning. Care ahould be taken to go over the animals thoroughly, and after once going over they ahould not be neglected, as tlcka may be picked up from time to time. If thla work la thoroughly done and no tlcka allowed to fall off and lay eggs from June 1 to the end of November, tbe cattle will be free from ticks and the pastures clean. Smearing or Spraying. Greasing the animals all over thoroughly with cotton seed oil, fish oil, or Beaumont crude petrolem will assist In preventing the ticks from getting upon them and destroy the ticks already on them. This method Is practicable when only a few ani mals are to be treated. A mixture of 1 gallon of kerosene, 1 gallon of cot- ton sed oil, and 1 pound of sulphur has proved effective when used two or three times a week during the lick season. It should be applied with a sponge, syringe, brush, mop, broom. Where a larger number of cattle are to be treated, but not enough to v.nrrant building a vat, spraying has given good results. The necessary equipment consists of a force pump such as Is used by orchardlsts for spraying trees, with a barrel In a wag on or on n platform and a hose with an ordinary nozzle. A 20 per cent emulsion of Beaumont oil or a 5 per cent solution of any of tlie standard ccal-tar dips mny be used. The spray ings should be continued throughout the whole season and If thoroughly done will leave the cattle and pas tures free for the following year, Dipping In a Vat. Where a large number of animals are to be treated, dipping In a vat Is z convenient and effective method. Beaumont crude petroleum Is consid ered the most satisfactory dip and mny be used either alone or In a 20 per cent emulsion. Animals that have been dipped In the oil, especially dur ing warm weather, should not be driven any great distance Immediately afterwards, and should be provided Ith shade and an abundance of wa ter. Pasture Rotation. Tills system of eradication appeals tc many farmers and should be fol lowed whenever practicable or eondi tlons will permit. It consists in plac Ir.g tlcky animals in a small pasture for a period of 20 days. During tbat time a considerable number of ticks will drop off. Then transfer the cat tle to a second small pasture for an other 20 days, and If all of the ticks have not dropped off, to still another pasture, if the full time has been used, 60 days will have been consum ed and the slock Is then ready to be placed on tick-free pasture. The ob ject of moving cattle from pasture to pasture at Intervals of 20 days Is to cause all the ticks to drop off and at the same time to prevent the animals from becoming Infested again with oung. or seed ticks. Twenty days Is less than the shortest time within which seed ticks will appear from eggs laid by ticks tbat drop off. and all of the ticks present on tbe animals will have dropped off in the 60 days The young ticks, when hatched, will starve If no cattle are present In the aslure for them to get on. Full Information aa to bow to get rid of the ticks, Including directions for the preparation of dips and sprays, the arrangement of pasture, etc., may be obtained free on application to the Bureau of Animal Industry, Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
