COMMISSIONER J. 0. PRICE
REFUSES TO GET ANGRY
Atlanta, Ga., July 14. —“Farmer”
Jim Price, commissioner of agriculture
refuses to get angry because his op
ponent, J. J. (Guano Agent) Brown,
accuses him of hob-nobbing with the
weather man.”
“The weather man is really a very
fine and interesting gentleman,” said
Mr. Price, “The weather burea is de
signed principally for the service of
the farmer and I find it worth while
to keep closely in touch with it, not
only as commissioner of agriculture,
but as a farmer myself.”
Mr. Price is a farmer first of all.
His plantation is one of the best in
Oconee county, and he makes his liv
ing there. It is at least one case
where a Georgia official is in a posi
tion to know' somethng about the work
of his department.

Country Editors Are En
joying Yearly Meetings
Atlanta, Ga., July 14.—City newspa
per men tied to their desks by the
daily grind of legislative news, mur
ders and divorce suits and pausing
mly for a thin ham sandwich at the
nearest lunch stand, are wishing this
week that their guiding star had led
them into the flowery fields of country
iournalism. For the country editors,
the men who really boss their own pa
pers and say that they feel like when
'hey feel like it, are having one great
jig happy week.
The weekly editors, a host of them,
assembled in Commerce on Monday
and Tuesday, where they surrounded
many tons of Georgia barbecueand the
iceompanying fixings at Willoughby
Park. Then they took an automobile
around Commerce and its environs
and that night enjoyed a reception on
the lawn of Mrs. T. C. Hardman.
Wednesday was spent in Athens,
where the journalists w ere shown ev
erything in the University. It wasn’t
tew to most of them, foi* a large pro
portion of University graduates are
represented among the editors.
They were back in Commerce Wed
nesday night for a great luncheon
given by citizens of the town, when
Governor John M. Slaton and W. G.
Sutlive, of the Savannah Press, were
he pri • cipal speakers. On Thursday
they leave for Mountain City and Clay
ton on an outing trip.
The weekly editors of Georgia, as
me of the speakers remarked, are
he real power of the state, They
vield an influence in local affairs not
mjoyed by the city dailies, which are
confining themselves more and more
to news rather than the expression of
opinion. The editorial pages of the
country weeklies reach the hearts of
the people and collectively the rural
and small town papers at once guide
and reflect the policies of the whole
state.
The meeting this year was perhaps
the largest on record, more than 200
members having registered at Com-
Few “Freak” Bills
Been Introduced
Atlanta, Ga., July 14. —The last ses
sion of the legislature under Governor
John M. Slaton is now nearly half ov
er, and has been marked by an un
usual application to work and a mark
ed tendency to attend strictly to the
business of the state. There have been
very ffew “freak” bills. The assembly
has decided to let the women dress
as they please, and the expected meas
ure against tight skirts and high heels
died before they were born. The leg
islature has kept its hands off the
trivial offenses of the world and ap
parently made up its mindd that
thing are rocking along pretty well as
they are.
The woman’s suffrage movement re
ceived a death blow when the house
committees on amendments to re
port adversely on tile amendment to
permit votes for women, but the ses
sion is yet young and the earnest
workers in skirts may yet find a way
to win their point.
The legislature seems to be stand
ing with Governor Slaton on the poli
cies he inaugurated and sponsored.
This was indicated by the early de
feat of the bill to repeal the tax equal
ization law, which was adversely re
ported by the committee ar.d will
hardly be voted upon on the main
floor.
The expected prohibition fight has
not yet reached an exciting stage.
There w'ere several bills introduced
looking to changes in th law but so far
none of these have reached a vote and
they may die in the committee pigeon
holes.
SPEER IS HIHHEV PRAISED
FOR EFFICIENCY IN OFFICE
W. J. Speer, state treasurer and can
didate for re-election, has been highly
commended by a cpecia 1 committee
from the house and senate appointed
to make an examination of his books,
and to count the cash in the treasury, j
An examination of the books of the I
state treasurer is required to be made
each year, but this is the first time it
has been done in some years. The
report of the committee follows:
“We the committee required by law
to examine the accounts and vouchers
of the state treasurer's office as to all
moneys received into and paid out of j
tb* treasury during the fiscal year, j
beg leave to make the following re- j
port,
“We have thoroughly examined the
office of the state treasurer and find !
the books and ail vouchers neatly and j
acurately and correctly kept. We j
have counted the money on hand and j
have verified the accounts of all state j
depositories, and find that they are j
also correct. We have carefully ex
amined the report of the state treas
urer and find that he is sustained by
the true condition of his office.
In this connection we desire to com
mend the incumbent of the office, the
Hon. W. J. Speer, for the efficient man
ner in which he has conducted the af
fairs pertaining to the treasury.
Respectfully submitted,

A Boy’s Composition on Ducks
’the duck is a low, neavy-set oird.
composed mostly of meat, bill and
feathers. His head sets on one end
and he stands on the other.
There ain’t no between to his toes
and he carries a toy balloon on his
to keep from sinking.
The duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his running
gear that they come very near missing
his body.
Some ducks when they get big are
called drakes. Drakes don’t have to
set or hatch—just loaf, go swimming
and eat.
If I was to be a duck I’d rather be
a drake every time.
Ducks don’t give milk but eggs; but
as for me give me liberty or give me
death.-—Composition written by a 12-
yeir old boy.—Ex.
