ploy of the Southern Bell Telephone
company, was shot to death at the

Experimental Tobacco Farms.
At the instance of Congressman
Beil, the department of agriculture in
Washington will, in the very near fu¬
ture, establish three experimental to¬
bacco farms in the ninth district of
Georgia. Two experts of the depart
ment visited Gainesville to make a
thorough survey of the situation and
determine upon the location for the
experiments.
The idea of the department is to
secure about two acres of suitable
land in each county, to be taken
charge of by the government for the
purpose indicated. Tills will be de¬
voted to the raising of Sumatra to¬
bacco, the perfect leaves of which
make the best of all wrappers, while
‘he rest makes excellent filler. The
high grade Sumatra now brings $2.50
a pound.
Some Sumatra tobacco lias been
raised near Gainesville, and Mr. Bell
is strongly of the opinion that the
soil and climatic conditions in a num¬
ber of the counties of that section
are favorable to making it a substan¬
tial industry.

Power Furnished Free of Charge.
Power for running all the operative
exhibits of the 1910 exposition in At¬
lanta will be furnished free of charge
by the Lane & Bodley company, one
of the largest builders of steam en¬
gines in the world.
A letter from the local lepresenta
tive of the company to Secretary Wal¬
ter G. Cooper announces the generous
offer of the Lane & Bodley company,
stating that the company will be glad
to ‘’install any or all engines neces¬
sary, either of the four valve or Cor¬
liss type, and furnish the exposition
sornpany all the power they demand/’
The plan of the exposition is to
have all the exhibits, so far as pos¬
sible, operative, and it will require a
vast amount of power to run these
exhibits.

Ex-Policeman Manages Home.
Captain John A. Thompson, an ex¬
policeman of Atlanta, has been elected
superintendent of the Confederate Sol¬
diers' Home by the board of trustees,
Superintendent Bowie's term having
expired the first of the year. Captain
Thompson received six of the ten
votes on the first ballot.
Dr. Amos Fox, treasurer and pur¬
chasing agent of the home, it, is said,
led the fight against Captain Bowie
on the ground that the superintend¬
ent had allowed a large number of
the old soldiers to go to the city one
night last November to take part in
a political meeting at 'the court house.
The other elections by the trus
tees were as follows:
H. W. Bell of Jefferson, president;
W. S. Thompson of Atlanta, vice pres¬
ident; W. H. Harrison of Atlanta, sec¬
retary; Amos Fox of Atlanta, treas¬
urer and purchasing agent; Mrs. M.
E. Maddox, matron; Dr, L. C. Brewer,
surgeon; Rev. A, R. Holderby, chap¬
lain.
The only change was in the elec¬
tion of Mr. Thompson as vice presi¬
dent. in place of E. H. Thornton, re¬
signed.
The board ordered that three meals
a day Instead of two be served here¬
after.
