Athens, Ga., May 29.—Th annual
reports of the College of Agriculture;
at Athens have been submitted to
the trustees at a meeting held earlier
than usual to enable President Andrew
M. Soule to leave for EuropV where he
is to study agricultural conditions
during the summer, with a. view to
adapting some of their best methods in
Georgia.
The annual report of the president
shows that the college has had its
mest successful year. A large in
crease in attendance is shown and the
extension-demonstration work has
been enlarged by reason of subscrip
tions made by individuals in Georgia.
Speaking of the year's work at the
college, the chairman of the board of
trustees, Maj. J. J. Conner, says:
‘'The longer the college exists un
der the able and splendid administra
tion of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, the
greater evidence the board has of his
patriotic masterful handling of the in
stitution.
“During the time the college has ex
isted since its re-organization in 1906
the progress has been very gratifying,
but the present outlook eclipses any
thing of the past.
“The financial condition of the in
stitution is encouraging due .to the ef
ficiency with which the funds have
been administered, and in face of the
fact that the legislature at its last
session failed to appropriate as muen
money to the college as we felt was
absolutely necessary for its continued
growth. The failure of the legislature
in this respect caused us to retrench in
some lines, but the present outlook is
such as to be pleasing to ail patriotic
Georgians. Individuals have come to
our relief with private funds, causing
us to be less crippled than otherwise
we would have been.
“A very gratifying increase in at
tendance has been noted. This cou
pled with the numerous private sub
scriptions indicates that the hearts of
the people of Georgia are behind the
college.
“The board has a very amicable ,
meeting and every one had perfect de- (
light as to the future outlook. The
truth is that no institution of similar (
character in the south enjoys a pres- ,
ent condition and future outlook equal
to that ©f Georgia’s. This is exceed- (
ingly encouraging for the reason that |
in many particulars Georgia's institu- ]
tion is the youngest in the list. ]
“Another encouraging feature to (
the board as well as to every (
Georgian, is the passage of the Smith-
Lever bill by congress, permitting the ,
use of gradually increasing amounts (
for extension-demonstration work.
While these funds can not be used for
enlarging the teaching force or the
college equipment, and therefore does
not directly aid in building up the in
stitution, it does make possible greater
usefulness of the college to the farmer.
How far Georgia will avail itself of
this fund for the farmers depends upon
the action of its legislature.”
ORGANIZED ÜBDR
WIIIS VICTORY
Washington, D. C., May 29.—Repre
sentative Carlin, of Virginia, issued a!
s-atement today explaining the com
promise agreed upon between the la
jbor leaders and the administration
leaders on the trust bills.
“The labor provision of the anti
trus bill as agreed upon gives labor
| the right to exist as an organization,
and in the language of the Baltimore
platform, declares that they shall not
be held to be a combination or con
spiracy in l restraint of trade,” said he.
i
“This will prevent a bill being filed
on behalf of the government for a dis
solution of the labor organizations. It
dobs not exempt labor from specific
acts which would constitute a re
straint of trade or a conspiracy in re
straint of trade. It is a clear cut, clean
statutory enactment of the provisions
contained in the Baltimore platform.”

TAILOR WINS
SOCIETY GIRL
TANGOING (USED A NEW OIL
ORLEANS SOCIETY MAID TO
LEAVE HER HOME
New Orleans, La., May 30.—Edward
Meyers, popular in New Orleans as a
teacher of the fantastic tango, and
Miss Margaret Bull, prominent in so
cial circles here, after eloping to
Houston, Tex., last week, are creating
a sensation at the Houston Dreamland
Palace with their exhibitions of the
latest dances.
News of the elopement and mar
riage at the Cadillac hotel in Hous
ton Wednesday afternoon was re
ceived in New Orleans today.
The elopement is said to have been
the culmination of a romance when
Meyers first began to give dancing
lesons over a year ago. He former
ly conducted a tailoring establish
ment here, but gave it up to enter
teaching. It is claimed that his nim
ble feet and graceful carriage won
the heart of Miss Bull, one of his
charter pupils.
Meyers left New Orleans about a
week ago. Shortly afterwards Miss
Bull, who lived with her aunt in
Jackson avenue near St. Charles, dis
appeared from home. The next heard
of her was she was married in Hous
ton Wednesday, and was now Mrs.
Meyers.
On top of this came word from
Houston that the pair are filling an
engagement in the Dreamland Palace
there under the name of Maurice
and wife.

A Confused Bridegroom
Hobson, who is, to say teh least, a
little absent-minded, was on his way
to his own wedding when something
impeded the progress of the carriage,
which stood at a standstill so long
that Hobson put his head out of the
window and said to the driver:
“Hurry up, or the whole thing will
be over before we get there!”—New
