A commission has been formed I to establish a negro theological | seminary, which will be located in ; Nashville, Tenn., and the institu-1 tion will soon be in operation, ac cording to plans. The property will be held and the institution controlled jointly by the Southern Baptist convention and the nation al convention of Colored Bap tists. COTTON OUTLOOK IN TERRELL COUNTY POOR DAWSON, August 31.—The cot- I ton outlook in Terrell county and throughout this section is anything but encouraging, and there is no doubt that the crop will be one of the smallest ever produced here. Since January first more rain has fallen than was ever before known, and the crop was planted and cultivated with a great excess of moisture. Now that harvest time has come the rains continue. It rained all of the past week, and farmers say Tain is doing’ more damage than boll weevils. They report that the bolls are rotting and, besides, picking has been re tarded and the staple damaged by stain. Only a few bales, due to bad weather, were brought to mar ket the pats week, but with a few days of sunshine the staple will come to the Dawson warehouses daily by the hundreds of bales.

The change in the ofiice of chief executive does not change the fact that the presidential campaign in 192-1 will be fought out on ques tions of party policy. One of the first announcements of President Coolidge was that he would carry out the policies of i President Harding, and he gave the I best evidence possible that he in-1 tends to do so by retaining the 1 full membership of President Hard ing's cabinet. President Coolidge therefore should have full credit for- complete sincerity in making this promise. The issue of 1924, in view of this promise, remain un changed, however they may be sup plemented by issues raised by the 1 new president. “What will be the issues in 1924?” is a question often asked.) The most specific and eomprehen- 1 sive answer so far has been made 1 by Cordell Hull, chairman of the Democrat:’ national committee. Chairman Hull says: “All the live and material issues of 1924 cannot now be forecasted, cither in general or in detail, both on account of changing conditions and of the ability of the party in power to make and unmake some I issues by acts of omission and com-I mission. All pressing and vifal is sues materially affecting the wel fare of the people, or of most of them, should be kept abreast of each other. The next Democratic national convention alone can de fine the issues for Democrats. From present-day opinion and discussion, however, the following may be nointed to as some of the more important issues of the present and the : mmediate future, without ref erence to the order of their impor tance: X ‘ The demonstrated failure of the Republican administration, domi nated bv the Old Guard at all times, which has been aimless, instable, * LARt> ?

Georgia I reflects a decrease of approxi mately 35 per cent from last year, ■ H. McDowell, manager of a large | packing house in Moultrie, told ) members of the Georgia Swine j Growers’ Association in an address I prepared for delivery today. “We first began to raise hogs : for the commercial or carlot mar- j ket just ten years ago,” he said. s “From that time up to 1919, we I doubled the number of hogs on I our farms, Since 1919, we have shown a steady decrease each year. “We are producing practically 25 per cent of our total pork con- I sumption and importing from the 1 north and west 75 per cent of our requirements. “While we have made a credit able showing in hogs, cattle, Sheep, dairying and poultry, we j still are importing four hundred million pounds of packing house . products and dairy and poultry production per annum.” In urging departure from the one-crop system in. the state, Mr. McDowell declared the south as a whole is importing annually “about $1,000,000,000 worth of these farm products, which we could produce if we adopted mixed farming.” Natural advantages of this sec tion for hog production, makes Georgia one of the “most favored” sections in the country, he said, adding -that history snows from progressive sentiment to the prompt solution of conditions and problems affecting the commercial, economic, industrial and social wel : fare of the people. “The adoption of sound, econom ic and trade policies, domestic and I foreign, in contrast with existing wholly unsound policies,' or none at ; all, of the Republican administra- I tion.” “time immemorial” no system of agriculture has been successful which did not include the raising of livestock. The planting of feed crops, suf ficient to produce enough feed to care for all the hogs, and the pur chase of good hogs were urged by the speaker for farmers plann ing to enter the livestock industry. Hogs can be raised in Georgia at a cheaper production cost than hi any western state, he asserted.
