With People Who Listen Atten
tively to Big Speakers.
Lust Saturday was ft great day for
our sister oily over on Curry's Creek.
The people of Jackson county had
staged a great agricultural rally for
that day and early in the morning tho
people began arriving, and by 11
o'clock the historic place made famous
by Dr. Crawford W. Long was literal
ly filled with folkp from far and near.
The real purpose of the meeting was
to stimulate Interest in the proposed
building of a Temple of Agriculture
in Washington by farmers of America
.and to create interest in the American
Cotton Association now campaigning
for one million members.
Hon. Thomas . Johnson, a veteran
of the farmers in these movements,
presided over the meeting.
Hon. John N. Holder, speaker of the
house of representatives and Jackson
county’s greatest political asset, made
ihe address of welcome.
r Agricultural Temple.
The first speaker oil the program
was A. K. Elsinore, of Washington
state, chairman of the committee in
charge of the building of a Temple of
Agriculture in Washington. It is pro
posed that this building house all
farming organizations —lie the grand
headquarters. The Temple as propos
ed would cost more than $1,000,009
and would be built with money ob
tained by subscriptions from farmers
throughout the United States.
The next sinker was Mr. J. J.
Brown, commissioner of agriculture.
He made a strong plea, urging the
farmers to back the movement to build
the Temple. He also urged them to
get busy in organization and get ready
to maintain prices of cotton for the
coming season. He stated that cotton
goods in the last, ten days has gone
up $lO a bale, and that there is no
reason for the decline In the price of
cotton as it was really organized Ef
forts of Interested parties to depress
the price regardless of the laws of
supply and demand.
Advocate of Home.
At the conclusion of Commissioner
Brown's address, the chairman intro
duced Miss Louise Dowdle, who is con
nected with the agricultural college
and who is doing household economic
work, urging more conveniences for
women; that women should bear a
larger part in the affairs of the home
and farm life. She stated that the
home has not grown and improved as
fast, as the farm has improved; that
new machinery and new methods have
taken the place of the old time farm
regime, but that the farm homes have
remained practically the same, and
the women are hearing the burdens
they have borne for the lust twenty
years.
Mr. Shackleford spoke for Mr. J. S.
Whimmaker, president of the Amer
ican Cotton Association, who could not
attend the meeting. He stressed the
needs for organization of the farmers,
to he thoroughly organized, and hi
outlined the present campaign of the
association. His audience wildly ap
plaudcd |iiu, demonstrating that, they
arc in sympathy with the organization
of all farmers in the Initial States.
At the conclusion of Coi. Shackle
ford's address tin* large crowd was in
vited to the Campus of Martin Insti
tute where one of the longest tallies
and most, bounteous spreads of. Imrbo
ouod meats, fried chicken, barbecued
hash and other daintips for the hungrj
man met the gaze of the vast throng.
As we looked on this heavily laden
table we were amazed at the stupen
dous undertaking to final such a crowd
of folks, and when after thirty min
utes all that it had taken hours to
prepare had disappeared and the long
tables wore swept clean, we wondered
how inucb of life is given up daily
all over this broad land that man
should feast, grow fat. and be happy.
It was a great feast and surely ev
ery one went away satisfied.
After tin* 'cue all went hack to the
speakers stand where Hon. Charles S.
Barrett, president of the National Far-
Union, who represented the far
mers of America at the Peace table,
addressed the audience.
Favors Temple.
He spoke in favor of the proposed
Temple of agriculture, stressing the
necessity of having a home for various
farm organizations —that this home
should lie in Washington, the site of
the nation’s capital, so that the world
might see and know that the farmers
have organized—built their home and
will occupy it permanently.
His idea was that this temple.would
show to tin* people of this country or
ganization was permanent and would
not tie disbanded as doue in the past.
He then related in detail his trip to
France and the demands lie made for
the American farmer at the peace
table.
He also urged that Jhe American
Cotton Association be supported by ev
ery farmer and stressed the point that

JUDGMENT
*
From the Rome Tribune-Herald
One of Georgia’s strongest charac
ters and most famous statesmen, Hon.
Joseph Emerson Ilrown, was noted ev
erywhere among liis friends for his
frequent use of tin* expression ‘•judg
ment," —with a strong accent on the
second syllable. And, by the way, it
was “Old Joe Brown’s” strong com
mon sense and judg-MENT that
brought him both fame and wealth.
When quite a young man Joe Brown
drove a wagon drawn by a couple of
bull yearlings from South Carolina
into Georgia, settled on a farm in
Cherokee county, and by his energy
and judgiAoit, became judge of the su
perior court, four times governor of
Georgia, chief justice of the supreme
court, and served two terms in the
United States senate. But he was not
only a successful politician and aide
statesman ; tie was a first rate business
man. He invested his money with good
judgment, and handled his affairs
with such sagacity that when he died
at a ripe old age he was one of the
wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, man
in Georgia. At that time he was re
puted to lie worth three million dol
lars, and it's safe to say that most of
it was due to his good judgment.
■ Judgment, coupled with energy and
sagacity, is a rare combination, hard
*to beat and almost sure to bring suc
cess. Why Vt stop to think, why not
exercise better judgment before en
tering into any kind of business or
speculation? Get your twits together
and use them to the best advantage,
make every ounce of energy count, and
you will likely get. value received for
every lick you make.
Joseph E. Brown is known in the
history of Georgia as a genius of com
mon sense. He was perhaps the most
successful man that Georgia ever pro
duced. He gathered wealth and fame
with ease—he furnished an example
that the youth of the state would do
well to emulate.

JOHN N. HOLDER IN
GOVERNOR’S RACE
With Brief Announcement He Throws
His Hat in ihe King—Platform to
Be Announced Later.
* .. ■
“I am a candidate for Governor of
Georgia,” said John N. Holder last
Thursday, just after the adjournment
of the Georgia legislature.
The announcement of Mr. Holder
was brief and to the point. For the
past several months it has been un
derstw*! that he would be a candidate
in the coming race for governor and
his announcement is the first to be
made.
Mr. Holder expects to begin his ac
tive campaign at an early date, vis
iting several counties in the next week
or two. ‘‘My platform,” said the speak
er, “will conje out at the proper time.
At present I want only to announce
that I will be a candidate.”
Mr. Holder has served four terms
as speaker of the house of representa
tives of Georgia. He has been in the
Georgia legislature -for 17 years and
for a time was in the senate.
The session that has just ended did
some splendid constructive work and
this was due largely to the efforts of
Mr. Holder. Friends say that, they
have taken a poll of both branches of
the legislature and that the results
strongly favor the speaker.
The Great Remedy
The merits of Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy are well known
and appreciated, but there is occasion
ally a man who had no acquaintance
with them and should read the fol
lowing by F. H. Dear, a hotel man at
Dupuyer, Moat. “Four years ago I
used Chamberlain’s Colic and Diar
rhoea Remedy with such wonderful
results tlfat I have since recommended
it to my friends.”
LOOK AT YOURSELF
It takes courage and strength of
mind to be honest with ourselves, to
look ourselves straight in the eyes,
and own up to what we really are. It
is an upward toward genuine bet
terment. Even if we succeed in de
ceiving ourselves, we cannot be insur
ed against loss, by mistaken estimates.

ish proverb, “who cheats himself.” —
