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 Coofiran, Ga., December 15th, 1910.

I can't tell you all the nice things we got, but you can get everything you want for Christmas of the very best at “COOK’S.” 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. A cartoon in Friday’e issue of the Atlanta Constitution re presents Hon. ■). H. Hall priz ing the capitol from its found ation. Although this astute 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 truth than humor in this car toon, when the Hon. Joe Hill rises in that August body of Georgia legislators to ply the THE CCCHR.’ N JOURNAL 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 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 i jlta t nt caw J-3V On the Yale Campus You II See a lot of smartly dressed young men; Same way at any of the hundreds of colleges oyer the country.
