IT THE KM INK Still
Most Attractive Filins Will
Be Shown
At the recent meeting of the Hospi
tal Association it was decided to give
an entertainment in the way of a ben
efit for the hospital each month
throughout the entire year. In ac
cordance with this plan the benefit to
he given this month will be that which
will be arranged with the management
of the opera house for a benefit per
formance to be given there probably
tonight week.
Very favorable terms have been se
cured from Mr. Dudley for the per
formance, and it is proposed to dis
play the popular film “Cinderella,”
which has scored such a success else
where. If this is done, it should net
a good sum for the hospital benefit,
and it is for this purpose that the
performance is to be given.
The matter of making money for the
hospital fund in various ways was tak
en up and discussed at the recent
meeting, and new ways will be devis
ed in this all important work. A May
festival will likely be arranged for
the benefit of the fund, as this is a fea
ture that is comparatively new here.

18 TRYING TO
WIN BACK THE
FARMER VOTE
TAFT IS MUCH WORRIED
Western Farmers Especially
Sore on President
Washington, D. C., March 14.—How'
to win back the farmer vote is a pro
blem that is giving President Taft his
greatest concern. He realizes that
his advocacy of reciprocity with Can
ada alienated thousands of farmers of
the North, . West and Northwest, and
that their support is needed to secure
him the nomination, no one knows
better than the president. The bulk of
the republican farmers didn’t like Mr.
Taft’s reciprocity stand, and they have
not been slow' in voicing their objec
tions. Tons of letters have come to
the president and to congressmen from
disaffected districts, making theif dis
approval clear. Finally it dawned
upon the president that something
must be done, and done quickly, to
keep this big farmer vote out of the
Roosevelt fold.
Taft adherents in states where the
farmer vote is strong are now giving
the president’s candidacy “first aid”
in an effort to keep this vote in the
stalw'art ranks. In defense of the
president, his friends are sending out
statements showing that his position
on reciprocity was identical w'ith Col.
Roosevelt’s. They also point out the
complimentary things said by the
colonel about the president, particular
ly with reference to reciprocity, before
their break. Speeches and articles
by Col. Roosevelt, in which he preach
ed the open door w r ith our Canadian
neighbors was also referred to.
1 Senator Townsend, of Michigan, is
to be one of the Taft mainstays in
soothing the farmers. In a talk at
the' white house yesterday, he de
clared that sentiment in his state was
rapidly veering around to Taft, where
as six weeks ago Roosevelt seemed to
have the voter cinched.
"The change of sentiment in favor
of President Taft has been marvelous,”
said Senator Tow nsend. “Professional
and business men, as well as farmers,
| now find more to object to in Roose
velt’s Columbus speech than in Taft’s
reciprocity stand.
The Taft people also look to Sena
tor MeCumber, of North Dakota, to
do something to mollify the farmers,
but the senator is wisely keeping out
of the* fight. His position is some
what delicate because he has both the
I farmers and the millers to satisfy. His
farming constituency are
reciprocity, while the milling interests
favor the admission of milling wheat
free of duty. Between the tw'o he has
enough burdens to carry, consequently
he is not eager to carry those of
another.
ATLANT V HAS NI’FFRAGETTK
OF COLORED PERSUASION
She Is Loyal To Tile Cause, But Eats
The Snme.
Atlanta, March 14. —Effie Speed of
Atlanta is the only black suffragette
on record on either side of the pond
She is strong for “votes for women.”
She figures that if she washes the na
tion’s clothes she ought to have a
hand in making its laws, which sounds
just exactly like a lot of other suffra
gette arguments. Repeat it to your
self aloud and see how sound and log
| ical it is.
Kffiie knows how to read. That is
another evidence of the fact that she
| believes in new ideals for her sex
: During hte past week she has been
I rading the newspaper accounts of
window smashing in London, and they
impressed her profoundly. She pon
dered over them. Then she sniffed a
iittle cocaine. And then the solitary
policeman who stands on the corner
>f Klliott and Mangum streets sent L
a riot call.
If any three suffragettes in London
smashed as many iwndows in the same
length of time as Kffie, the fact hasn’t
i been recorded in the cablegrams.

POOR COTTON
uniEcuunaDEMMS
Warehousemen Not Affected
By These Losses
i
While Americus houses are Dot af
fected to any considerable extent, so
far as known, other cotton firms in
this section are meeting heavy de
mands for reclamation upon low grade
cotton from foreign spinners.
It is said that these reclamations
are from $3 to $6 per bale in some
instances, and will prove a heavy loss
to buyers and shippers here in the
aggregate. A great deal of low grade
cotton has been sent abroad from this
section 6f Georgia, and doubtless from
other places, and the reclamations up
on the shippers will run high into the
thousands of dollars.
The warehousemen are not affected t
by this flareback, as the cotton wrns
sold by sample, and the buyer is the
only unfortunate one in the payment
of reclamation charges.
But Effie differed in another partic
ular from the London suffragettes.
When sent to prison they all refused
to eat, so as to embarrass the jailr.e
Effie embarrassed the jailer here, but
not by her refusal to eat. She weighs
190 pounds and would eat up the
whole place ifthey just gave her a
chance. As it is, the police say she
requires about twice as much as a n
average prisoner.
