That Capitol Ques
tion Wont Down.
The Macon people are goin<;
right on with their campaign
for the removal of the capitol
to Macon, and Atlanta is still
regarding it as a joke.
Nevertheless, the move
ment is spreading like wild
fire all over the state, and the
almost universal opinion
throughout mid He and Sotifl
Georgia is that Macon is the
logical point for the capitol by
virtue of the fact that she is
centrally located and much

Dear Friend
I was very tired when I came from
down town this morning. Mama sent me down to
get our Christmas things. We have invited
lots of friends to come and take Christmas
dinner with us. Mama said she wanted to get
the very best kind of groceries, because it
doesn't look nice to ask people to dinner
and not put ihe nicest things on the table.
Your Friend,
JACOB.

more accessible to a larger
number of people than Atlan
ta. In their eagerness to se
cure the capitol forMaccn the
Telegraph and the News seem
to have almost forgotten that
Atlanta is after Mercer, al
though it is very probable that
the entire issue grew out of
the movement on the part of
the Baptist convention at El
herton to locate Mercer at At
lanta. It may he that Macon
is satisfied that Mercer will
not he moved, and they are
not worrying about that part
of the program.

statesman from Bihh is up in
the air, he has a grim look of
determination on his face and
one end of the capitol has
been raised by his mighty
crow bar. There may he more

cro w bar of his powerful logic
to move our soluns to support
a hill that will carry out tin*
will of the sovereign people of
Georgia. We say to our stren
ous statesman from Bibb,
“Keep your erow bar under
that capitol you are not the
only man on the opposite side
of it.” *
Let that enterprising gate
city civil engineer make an
excavation and tie the capitol
to China.
Let them place a phono
graph in the tin bosom of the
Goddess of Liberty with wires
attached thereto. It may yet
be necessary to arouse her in
behalf of her charge.
But, regardless of all these
unique capital city inventions,
if the Hon. Joe Hill will just
keep that crow bar under the
capitol until the people of
Georgia get on the opposite
side they will move it to our
beautiful Central city.
Georgia to Get An
other Congressman .
Atlanta, Ga., Dec 12. special—lt
seems almost certain that Georgia
will get aiiothei congressman on the
new boieis of the 1910 census just
completed.
The state has now a population
of 2,600,121 wihch is an increaaeof
17.7 per cent over 1900 and makes
her the tenth largest in the Union.
If the new Imisis is made 215,000
that is one congressman to each
215,000 population, Georgia will be
entitled to another representative
and plenty to spare.
Even if the new baisis is made
220,000 she will get another. The
general opinion is that Congress
will make it 215,000.
If Georgia does get another con
gressman, which would make it an
even dozen, it would devolve upon
the next legislature to pass an act
re-dividing the state into districts,
and all who are familiar with the
workings of that distinguished body
of lawmakers know in advance what
‘‘lively doings” such a task would
necessitate.
The Georgians
Poultry Show
The Atlanta Georgian’s great
Southern poultiy shoav, which .will
be held for the benefit of the Geor
gia Poultry association in the Audi
torium-Armorv, Atlanta, Ga., Jan
uary 9-15, 1911, will have exhibi
tors from the following 26 states:
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Miss
issippi, Florida, lowa, Louisiana,
Arkansa, Missouri, Texas, Massa
chusetts, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Indiana, Idaho, Michi
gan, Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska,
Kansas, California, and Virginia.
The Georgian’s poultry show will
be the largest ever held, and the
money prizes offered for exhibition,
have never been exceeded at any
show in the United States, ’
The promotion of the poultry
business in the South bus- been one
of the Georgian’s most cherished
works. Its interest in this subject
has been unfailing, and so highly
does it esteem the poultry business
that for some time it has been pub
lishing what is known as “Uncle
Dudley’s Column,” which is devot
ed exclusively to the poultry indus
try. Statements emanating from
Uncle Dudley’s column are looked
upon as authority, and this depart
ment is valued for its poultry new T s
and opinions.
The state of Georgia consumes
$17,000,000 worth of poultry and
poultry products each year. It
raises only $10,000,000 worth. It
thus sends to other states for $7,-
000,000 worth of poultry. Tennes
see sells four or five times as much
poultry as it consumes and Missou
ri, which is probably the leading
poultry state in the Union, sells

It is the hope of the Georgian to
increase the interest in poultry rais
ing in Georgia so that the Georg'a
poultry producers may add not only
$7,000,(XX) to their present inter
ests, but that even this may be mul
tiplied so that millions may be add
ed to the states wealth through the
poultry industry.
