THURSDAY AFTERNOON, ,iULY 30, 1925 HUGE TOBACCO FAIR PLANNED FOR ATLANTA Head of National Order of Pipe Smokers Starts Movement for Expcsiitcn TOBACCO SALVATION OF GEORGIA FARMERS Industry Started By South Caro lina Planter Ten Years Ago Iti Coffee County ATLANTA, July 30.—Horace Grant, of Atlanta, president of th" Rational Order of Pipe Smokers, to day started a movement for holding n tobacco exposition in Atlanta in the early part of next year. H< predicted that in 10 years Georgia will be the largest tobacco-growing state in the Union and the value of its crop more than cotton. There is “a large noise” now i„ booth Georgia now following the opening of the tobacco markets and it will continue until the last of the season's fine crop of tobacco has been sold—and that will be in time to clear decks for the cotton crop pressing close behind. In the brief period of a decade tobacco, as pointed out here today by A. D. Daniel, passenger traffic manager of the A. B. and A. rail way ,has risen from obscurity to become one of the principal money crops of a great agricultural state. “More than this,” Mr. Daniel de clared, ‘it has become the salvation of hundreds of Georgia farmers who but for tobacco would have been ruined by the boll weevil.” Mr. Daniel, who has just returned from the tobacco belt, said today that 72,000 acres of tobacco were planted and it is expected that fully 50,000,000 pounds will be produced with a value of around $15,000,000. In 1914, S. J. Brown, recently moved from South Carolina into Coffee county, Georgia, grew 15 acres of tobacco near Nicholls. Ga., which yielded five hundred pounds to the acre, 7,500 pounds in all. From this small industry has grown the tobacco trade of the state. At that time the agricultural depart ment of the Atlantic, Birmingham and Atlantic railway became much impressed with the opportunity for South Georgia to diversify its crop and began to promote the growth of tobacco for cigarette and pipe purposes. There are 43 tobacco warehouses which have opened this season at Albany, Alma, Bainbridge, Baxley, Blackshear, Cairo, Camilla. Doug las, Dublin, Fitzgerald, Hahira, Hazelhurst, Lyons, Metter. Moultri , ■felham, Quitman, Thomasville, Tis 7on, Vidalia, Valdosta and Way cross, Mr. Daniel said. Chimpanzee shave been known to place four boxes on too of each other to reach a desired object.

STEWART NEA Service Writer “I had a story to tell King George.,” said John Hays Hammond, “when I attended his coronation, American envoy, in 1910. “General Botha, a Boer of Boers, and Dr. Jameson of the fam ous raid, as thorough an English man as Botha was a Boer, wore rival political leaders in South Afri ca at the time. Both wer ein Lon don for the coronation, like myself. I met them before I saw. the king. “ ‘How do you like Jameson?’ I asked the general. “ ‘The salt of the earth,’ Botha replied. “Later, ‘What do you think of Botha?’ I inquired of Jameson. “ ‘A splendid man,’ was his ans wer. “ ‘With Botha and Jameson speak ing thus of one another,’ I told his majesty, ‘I don’t think you need have any fears for South Africa's future.’ cjo'rm Hay' Tlamnicnd » | “And when the World War camo, I Boers and British were found fight | ing side by' side. Kaiser Dreamed of Rule I “As early as the days of the Uit landers’ rif.'.r.g against Kruger's misrule in the Trars.aal, the kaiser j dreamed of a great military power at his command in German Africa. “Already' a start had been made on the network of strategic roach which threatened the British posi tion from Capetown to the Nile headwaters. A huge German legion | of black soldiers was to have been I created. I “Wilhalm did, indeed, offend 1 Kruger. When Jameson was cap i tured. he cabled congratulations t. 'the Boer president, strongly imply ing that the raid was of British in spiration and that the Boers conk, have had German help, bad they needed it. But when Queen Vic toria called him to time forth: message, he apologized. “‘Afraid of his grandmother!’ Kruger sneered, and from that time he despised the German ruler. “Nevertheless, if friction, encour aged by the Germans, had continu 'd between the Boers and the Uitlan clers until 1914. the bulk of the Transvaal people inevitably would -have been on Germany’s -ide in the world struggle. “The kaiser, with his strategic road-, has native lories and the aid if a well-armed, skillful, courageous Boer army, would have struck :i blow in South Africa which would haVfe ovcrwhclme dall possible op position. “His treasury would have been re plenished with Transvaal gold. From bases at Capetown and Durban his submariens would have patrolle i every sea route south of the cqua tor. South America’s resources would have been cut off from his enemies. Indian and participation in the war would have been seriously hampered. In short, the world conflict probtfbly would have ended differently. War Came Too Soon “But the Boer war broke out in 1899, too soon to suit Germany. She wasn’t ready. Even then, had Britain blundered in her peace terms, the soil would have remained fertile for German cultivation. Bri tain, however, didn’t blunder.
