SMITH-LEVER BILL
NOW IN GOOD SHAPE
(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, May 5.—Senator Hoke
Smith’s final efforts in connection
with the bill appropriating $r>,000,000
for agricultural extension and farm
demonstration work, have put the
measure in such shape that the legis
lature of Georgia, and of each of the
other states respectively, will be given
the right of seeding the agricultural
colleges through which the farm dem
onstration money appropriated by the
United States government is to be
spent.
The measure, known as the Smith-
Ii«Tor bill, has been accepted by the
house, and on signature by President
Wilson becomes a law immediately.

INDIFFERENCE TO THE FLY EVIL.
Too many people are indifferent to the dangers lurking on
the legs of the house fly. However, no one should be ignorant of
these dangers. We suppose it depends to a great extent upon
what one is used to. Those persons who sit calmly while a handful
of flies roiirr. over their faces could hardly be expected to be very
enthusiastic over the proposition looking to the screening of food
stuffs.
i Yet there is great danger in the fly. People who are too in-
• v dolent to wage war upon the pest do not deserve much sympathy
should they become ill as a result of this germ-destroying insect,
i Further, all foodstuffs displayed for sale should be screened from
,/Ues.
A war of extermination should be waged upon the fly.
GET IT BEFORE THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
, T,he Herald finds today that there are a number of people
. herd who agree with us that Athens should have a union depot.
Think what a bustling appearance this city would have should
her five railroads discharge and take on their passengers in one
depot. Consider how busy her freight business would look if
these five railroads concentrated their yards in one section of the
city.
. Reflect how great an impetus would be given the vicinity of
a union station in a building way. Ruminate over the business
advantage'of having a union depot. Conjure up in your mind the
other advantages which would accrue from a union depot.
Why not a union depot for Athens?

loft to the legislatures to right of se
lecting the colleges to conduct thf
work. But republican senators sought
to force an amendment providing that
part of the money should be expended
by negro college of agriculture. This
precipitated a lengthy debate, in
which Senator Smith pointed out the
impoasibility of a southern state ac
eepting the appropriation if negro
schools were to direct a part of the
demonstration work in the south. The
amendment was defeated.
PLENTY OF FRUIT
SEEMS ASSURED
Griffin, Ga., May 6.—The orchards
in Griffin and vicinity are in the prime
of condition and give assurance of
plenty of fruit in season.
Orchard men about Griffin are
very sanguine regarding the peach
crop prospect, which seems as favor
able as could be wished.
The Spalding county orchards prom
ise plenty of fruit, while the yields
in other counties surrounding Spald
ing will very likely be quite as good,
in the opinion of peach growers.
Not only do the indications point to
an abundance of peaches for domestic
ure, but in all probability there wiii
be a large number of carloads of fruit
shipped from this market during the
summer.
The earlier variety of peaches,
those ripening in early June, will be
upon the market within the next few
weeks.
The most distinguished compliment that has yet been pnid to a western
newspaper was paid when the Colorado Fuol and Iron company sued The
Bocky Mountain News and The Denver Times for S500.000 damages. These
papers had been printing with truthful detail the tragic story of Ludlow,
where women and children have been killed in the mining trouble, where
flesh and blood have been held to bo cheaper than business gain. John C.
Shaffer, now proprietor of The Rocky Mountain News and Denver Times,
takes the position that this suit is a fight against the freedom of the prove.
The story of Colorado mining trouble! hat been a tragic and sordid story
and an effort has been made by a special committee of the Chamber of Com
merce of Denver te doctor the news so as to minimize the horror of the situ
ation. Mr. Shaffer has courageously refused to do this and he must now
stand a libel suit probably before a jury that will be deeply prejudiced in
favor of doctoring news. The other publiahera of the country will watch the
cue closely.
' It touches the right of the public to know the facta and the right and
obligation of the newspapers to publish the facta. News is a straight-out
commodity to be sold upon its merits as news under modern regulations. It
should not be doctored any more than food should be doctored. Mr. Shaffer
will win his fight in the court of public opinlan. In the forum of conscience
he will be victorious and he will receive the encouragement of all the credit
able members of his profession In the world.
WHAT IS INCORPOREAL HERIDITAMENT?
Atlanta, May 5c—A glance at tha
list of questions ordinarily asked of
an applicant for license as certified
public accountant in Georgia, would
stagger the average person, and per
haps the man who prides himcslf on
possessing a fair amount of informa
tion.
-What are words of negotiability T"
just to pick one at random, brings to
mind the weuldbe Georgia lawyer who
foil down flat whea Judge Spencer R.
Atkinson asked him, “What it an in
corporeal horiditament?” Yet there
•re something like a thousand ques
tions on this order, any hundred or
so of which may bo asked the appli
cants for certified accountants’ li
censes when the stats examination is

A number of applications have ala
ready come in to the board’s office In
the Empire building, and others are
expected. The board, appointed by
tha governor, is composed of Joel
Hunter of Atlanta, chairman; R. W.
Jemison, of Macon, secretary and At
torney Hudson Moore of Atlanta. All
applications must bo in the hands of
the board by May lo. The governor
himself, issues certificates to those
who successfully pass the examina-

Chamber of Commerce; Dr. S. W.

Georgia will be held on the 20th.
A call has been itMied by President

the meetings in Macon, and the invi

sued from Macon by Hon. Emory
Winship, chairman of the good roads
committee of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce.
Mr. T. B. Slade, secretary of the
good roads committee, has arranged
for a display of good roads machinery
of all kinds, and demonstrations will
be made to visitors of all modem
methods of making and caring for
roads. Everything from the home
made, split-log road drag to the larg
est road roller and steam shovel will
be exhibited and representatives of
the manufacturers of the machinery

The large prizes for cat's appearing
in the automobile parade will bring
hundreds of auto owners from all sec

in the contest as well as to enjoy the
hospitality and carnival of fun which
Macon will furnish. When Mayor
Bridges Smith, on the morning of
the opening day of the Jubilee, May
19, surrenders the keys of the city
to Prince Prosperity at the Municipal

and stowed away.
Very low rates have been granted
by the railroads, and thousands of vis

tumed, will take part.
