Conditioned on Agricultural School*
Getting Only $5,000
Atlanta, Dec. 1.—At a late hour
last night Gov. Harris signed, with a
provisional indorsement, the special
apr - nriation bill that gives the elev
en strict agricultural schools an
increase of $5,000 each. His provis
ional indorsement is written on the
back of. the bill, which, through cleri
cal error, gives to each school an in
crease in their regular appropriation
of $15,000, while the purport of the
bill was that each school’s mainte
nance fund should be raised only
$5,000.
Gov. Harris sought for several
hours a conference with the attor
ney general as to the legality of his
provisional indorsement. Not being
able to reach the attorney general
he signed the bill anyhow. His pro-,
the following officers were elected:
John H. Wilson, President.
Mrs. Lula Henry, Secretary.
The purpose of this organization
ig tO-stimulate an interest among the
colored teachers for the adoption of!
the bill is vetoed unless its intent is
“that each school’s appropriation be
increased $5,000.”
Agriculture, the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the rail
roads. The addresses made and the
literature distributed are proving
very helpful.
The pure bred beef and dairy catr
tie, horses and swine from the farm
of the College of Agriculture will
be shown here Dumber 3, 1915,
between the hours oi i:00 p. m. to
5 p. m. This campa'gn is be’"**
heartily promoted by i.,e A. C. L.
railroad. It is one of the parties to
the undertaking and is advertising
the show and doing all that it can
to make the meeting here a success.
It is<riot an exhibition tra but is*
two carloads of the very best ed
ucational exhibit of livestock ever
presented in Georgia. T’ purebred
livestock will *spenk fu ,em • *s
and the speakers will tell how t« ' ay
and how to feed. A carload of
beautifully arranged exhibits of
home-grown feeds is a revelation to
the farmers, and share prominently
in the attention bestowed on the ex
hibit as a whole.
Farmers of this region who want
to £tart in the livestock business or
who want to supplant what they have
with a better paying type of live
stock, will find the exhibit and the
addresses a great help.
The train will come in on the fol
lowing schedule:
Dec. 2, 8 a. m. to 12 m., Pelhom;
1 p. in. to 6 p. m. Albany.

No- Roudyicm But the Workers Were
Very Much in Eearnest
Tifton took a day off Wednesday to
settle its little ’f&Mily fuss. The post-
office and the,banks were still open
and doing business,'but nearly ev
erybody else took a holiday to save
the country. Although It whs the
first of {he month, even, the -bill
collectors were^ not in evidence and
at last the editor had a day of par
tial rest
The polls for the city election were
opened at R o’clock, as provided for
in the charter, and closed at 3. The
election managers were: W. M. Sel
lars, J. N. Brown and R. L. Warren.
They were assisted by Larry Baker
and v Cliff Parker as clerks. Col.
R. E. Dinsmore, City Attorney, was
also present.
Balloting opened with a rush, par
tisans being anxious to got in their
vote for their ticket early. The vot
ing proceeded at the rate of over
one hundred an hour until the bulk
.of the registration had been polled.
The election was a very quiet one,
despite the strong, feeling existing.
The workers were too much in earn
est to waste any time in foolishness,
so there were no disputes and no
rows. There was no time to fuss;
votes were the things wanted—and
then nobody wanted to fuss. , ’
The election was for a Mayor and
three Councilmen, to succeed Mayor
Hendricks and Councilmen Stubbs,
Chesnutt and Goodman, whose terms
expire. Mayor Hendricks and CoUn^
cilman Goodman were not candidates
for re-election.
The Citizens’ ticket was: J. H.

Councilmen; N. Peterson, Briggs
Carson and T A. Mitchell for School
