Uuicn City, Ga., April 5.—The best
sort of "national defense lies in in
creasing governmental expenditure
upon the former, admittedly the bed
rock of the nation, says President
Charles S. Barrett, of the National
union. The statement of President
Barrett follows:
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
Just how much attention the extra
setrion of the new congress, now
convened, to pay to the American
farmer depends upon—the American
farmer.
As I remarked in a statement last
week, a vast amount of harmless fu
rore will be expended in the effort to
make the farmer believe that his con
gressman is doing something substan
tial.
Whether the promise ends in per
formance will be determined by the
ex.ent to which you are “from Mis
souri” and If your congressmen and
senator see it.
From the barrel-head orator on up
to the highest statesman, It is goner-
rli> admitted that the farmer is the
backbone of the nation.
You ought to know It of your own
Intelligence, not to mention the many
times you've been told It In Fourth
?f July orations and in congressional
campaigns and hand-shaking trips.
The man whose labor adds nine bH-
lions of dollars annually to the wealth
of the nation Is given one federal de
partment, scant appropriations, while
other departments and bureaus de
voted to other industries and to bus
iness generally multiply upon the
treasury.
There is no justice in this system.
What Is more important, there Is lit
tle common sense.
It will pay the nation to cultivate
the farmer, not only with rhetoric,
but with sympathetic investigation
and substantial attention.
The Roosevelt Country Life com
mission illustrates feebly my mean
ing. It wan a groping offort in the
right direction. But despite the
praise lavished upon the farmer by
congressmen, congress did not even
appropriate enough money to print
the commission’s reort. That docu
ment was pigeon-holed, and is being
piloted only through private endeav-,
IDUSTRiES OP

MR. A. B. 8TANIARD
P. 0. CONTRACTOR
WRITES MR. COOPER
The following Is an extract from a
letter to Mr. L. J. Cooper, President
First National Bank of this city from
Mr. Stannard, contractor for the
building of the Waycross postoffice.
This is the extract:
I beg to congratulate Waycross on
ti.e change of material for the exter
ior of-the building to white marble,
as It will now be one of the hand
zernese buildings in the South, and
m fan one of the handsomest of Gov
ernment buildings anywhere, and
similar to the Custom House and P.
O. building at Newport News, Va.,
erected by me on the bank of the
James River some ten years ago, and
considered one of the most beautiful
public buildings in the country.
Trusting to have the ptaesure of
meeting your personally at an early
date, I am,
Respectfully,
Ambrose B. Stannard.
Lest some misunderstand, the
King’s Daughters request of the City
Council, please permit me to say
that they only ask the City Pniinntl
to extend the sewer to tho Hospital.
This work we understand to cost,
around $4,000 and not $20,000.. as
might bo inferred from an article inr
sterday’8 Herald, and instead of
this work being exclusively for tho
Kings Daughters Hospital use It will
be of easy access to a large number
of residences and the City stockade,
thus rendering It a general benefit.
We aro ready to begin the work
of enlarging the Hospital’s facilities,,
just as soon as the sewerage is put
In, and we do not ask the City Com*-
ell for any help on this Improvement
ether than the sewer extension al
ready asked and so considerately
granted by Council.
I am sure each Kings Daughter is
appreciative of the friendship and
consideration already shown our work
by the Council; and for the Kings
Daughters I thank them slncerily in
their efforts toward enabling us to
continue and enlarge our chosen work
of relieving distress.
Mr*. W. W. Sharpe,
Chairman of Board.
CONVICTS WORKING
PRIVATE PAVING
Alderman Colvin Parker made *
very strong light at council meeting
to ICcure the poisage of a resolution
prohibiting the city wing convicts to
aaalit In laying ildewalks for private
Individual!. But failed to pax It. i
Mr. Parker made the point that la
Ms opinion the convict! ihould not
he allowed to como In competltloa
nth froo labor. In course of the del.
bate, th efnet was brought out that
the city had decided not to uie he
convicts any more on that else, of
work but to conflno tholr work on Im
provement of atreeta.
It was uloo shown that wherever
skilled labor was needed, the men
were hired and paid for It and con
victs did not do that work. The
council and city authorities favored
the Idea suggested n the resolution.
Put thought Its adoption might unwise
ly tie tho hands of tho city and
hence defeated It.
