stORGIA HURLS GHALLENGE AT NORTH AND e
The National Farm and Land Con
. wae in session in Chicago five
greSb W :
days 138! «eek, and the different sec
mAns of the country vied with each
other in «orting forth the advantages
of their carming districts.
georgia was ably represenfed at
e congress by Colonel Samuel C.
punlap. commissioner of the Georgia
pureau of Industries and Immigra
{ion. (olonel Dunlap made one of
he feature speeches of the occasion,
gecording to the Chicago Examiner,
which says:
«Georgia was painted as an agri
cultural paradise, yesterday by Col
onel Samuel C. Dunlap in a pithy,
pumMOTous speech in which he upheld
the reputation of the south for or
atory and hospitality as well.
«rhe delegates were all invited to
pack up their goods and journey
down into the southland, the new
jand of opportunity and happiness.
Colonel Jmn]'ap had prepared a tor
mal manuscript, but he forgot it en
tirely when he started talking.”
The following remarks of Colonel
punlap are taken from the Exam
iner, which paper gave large space to
the Georgian's address, accompany
ing them with a life-like picture of
the speaker:
The Ideal Country.
“‘We can mnianage to get along
without you down in Georgia,’ said
the colonel, ‘but it passes my under
standing how you can manage to get
along without us. They do talk
about droughts in Texas, but you
never heard of a drought in Georgia.
Come to Virginia, the Carolinas, Ten
nessee, Alabama or Georgia, and
find there the ideal country for farm
ing. Yes, we have mnegroes down
there, and they're doing well. I
know one negro who on one acre
raised a bale of cotton which he sold
for $9O. Why, I could take that
$9O and buy 300 bushels of your
South Dakota corn,
“Olive” oil From Cotton Seed.
“‘Cotton seed we used to throw
away or use for fertilizer. We don't
do that any more. We sell a bushel
of cotton seed now for fifty cents,
more than you get for a bushel of
your corn.
“‘You don't know anything about
Georgia or Alabama, eh? Well, we
are using every pound of cotton seed
for oil, except what we have to save
for planting. We export that oil to
Antwerp,_and it comes back the finest
“olive”” oil that ever grew in the
world.
“‘Everybody who knows anything
at all knows a sweet potato is a
sweet potato. *
“‘We don’t have Irish potatoes,
and don't lament the lack. Of sweet
potatoes we raise 100 to 400 bushels
to the acre, and sell them for 40
cents to §1 a bushel, aceording to the
season. You ought to have seen
President Taft at the banquet in At
lanta last fall. We fed him on 'pos
sum and sweet potatoes, and how he
smiled.’
“Mr. Dunlap praised im high terms
the purposes of the land congress.
Keep Your People om Farms.
“‘Our object is so to work as to
keep our young men and women
from leaving the farms and crowd
ing themselves into the already too
tongested towns and cities,” he said,
and if possible, to show those who
live in our great. ecities how and
Where they can better their condition
by finding a more comfortable and
happier home in the country, where
their children can be raised to a
higher and better eitizenship.
" 'The nation needs more good men
and good women, and the country
I 8 the place to bring them up.
" 'We have no state or government
lands in Georgia, nor have we any
filroad lands to offer to settlers.
Our lands are all owned and held by
Private parties, but the owners are
always willing to sell a part of their
holdings to any one who may desire
0 purchase for investment or the
e purpose of making his home with
USs. We have millions of acres which
f@n he hought at reasonable prices.

Vancement made by Georgia has, per-
Laps, done more to advertise and
exploit the south to the world than
any other cause. The great state
of Georgia, the Empire State of the
South, is the largest state east of the'
Mississippi river, as well as the most
important commonwealth of the
southeastern Broup of states. The
cotton merchant and manufacturer
the world over know it as the second
state in the production of the south’s
fleecy staple,
* ‘Georgia has also contributed a
large quota semi-annually to the
Jarvest of food Crops, particularly
corn, which cereal is cultivated in
Georgia with less labor and market
-2d with greater margin of profit than
‘n the states devoted entirely to its
culture. _
“ ‘Georgia presents such a variety
if resources, openings and opportu
nities for the wide-awake, progres
ive manufacturer, investor, agricul
turist, mechanic, professional man,
- n fact, men of every class who are
willing to work for success that it
s impossible to more than refer to
a few of the important ones in a
short address of this character.”’
FORTUNE 1§ THE BIG FIGHT
‘ l
GREAT GOBS OF GOLD BID F()IJ
JEFFRIES-JOHNSON BOUT. 1
Many Thousands Will Come Aifu-r-l
- wards From Making Picture 1
Exhibits of the Scrap. ‘
NEW YORK.—Only five bids were
made for the Jeffries-Johnson cham
pionship battle at the meeting for
the opening of offers at Meyers hotel,?
Hoboken, this afternoon. Every bid
was given consideration. |
By Eddie Graney, San Francisco,l
90 per cent. of the gate receipts and
all picture privileges.
By Jim Coffroth and Jack Gleasonl
(combined), $125,000, the club 0
keep the picture privileges. |
By Hugh D. Mclntosh, $50,000,
Meclntosh to have all other privileges.
By Tom McCarey of Los Angeles,
$llO,OOO and 50 per cent. of the
picture money.
By Tex Rickard, $lOl,OOO and 33
per cent. of the picture money. The
bid of Rickard was accepted. The
fight will be pulled off in California
at a time and place yet to be decided
upon. |
So great was the crowd that turned
out to see the bids opened it was
impossible to handle them in Mey
ers hotel, and a shift was made over
to the Annex hotel. Jack Johnson
and Manager Little were on hand to
have a finger in the pie, but had lit
tle to say. Jeffries did not show up,
but was represented by Sam Berger.
A most important item in connec
tion with the mill is the money to
be made from the moving pictures.
The pictures of the Corbett-Fitzsim
mons fight at Carson City in 1897
were shown for three years all over
the country, and netted more than
$250,000, but it is estimated that
because of the increased interest in
pugilism the reproduction of the
Jeffries-Johnson affair will amount
to more than twice that sum of gross
receipts. Jeffries and Johnson will
divide at least two-thirds of the
picture money, it is said, and the pro
moter who handles the mill will get
the rest.
WEDDING THAT WAS A POEM.
Ceremony in Epic Introduced By
Middletown, N. Y., Pastor.
A genuinely poetic marriage was
the one at Calvary Baptist church in
Middletown, N. Y., the other morn
ing, uniting Clarence B. Crance, a
voung business man of Middletown,
and Miss Luella May Clark, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac M. Clark.
The Rev. Jonn A. Courtright, pas
tor of the church, performed the
ceremony, which was nearly all in
poetry, and the service was so im
pressive that it promises to become
a popular fad with those eligible for
the ceremony. Mr. Courtright only
recently assumed the pastorate of the
church, and his remarkable innova
tion in weddings has been a decided
hit.
NESTORS OF THE SENATE.
Senator Frye Had Two Opportunities
of Becoming President.
For almost six Years Alabama
boasted the two oldest wearers of the
toga, Senators Morgan and Pettus.
Now that honor goes to Maine. Sen
ator Eugene Hale has served his
State longer than any of his col
leagues. He came from the lower
house to succeed Hannibal Hamlin
and took his seat on Mareh 3, 1881,
Senator William P. Frye is the old
est man in point of years, and he is
a close second to Hale in point of
service, He succeeded James G.
Blaine, who resigned in 1881 to go
into the QGarfield cabinet. Senator
Frye is one of the unique men of
;his day. If lost opportunities can
\be reckoned Senator Frye has twice
missed the presidency. Garfield was
}a warm admirer of Frye, and wanted
lhim on the ticket in 1880, but Frye,
then a representative and a power in
the house, was ambitious to go into
the senate. After consenting to have
his name presented for the vice-pres
idential nomination he withdrew, and
a few months later reached the sum
mit of his ambition and took his
plaicg? in the senate.
When McKinley was looking
around for a running mate in 1900
the name of Frye again came up.
McKinley and the man from Maine
were old comrades. Tney also had
lived in the same hotel for years, and
there was no man in public life for
whom McKinley had a greater admi
ration or in whom he had more con
fidence. Again the second place on
the presidential ticket was offered
to Frye, and again, after pondering
the matter carefully} he decided to
decline. The venerable Nestor of the
senate never has regretted his course.
He is of the opinion that he makes a
better senator than he would a presi
dent, and that his career needs no
rounding out in a higher office.
After serving in the national legisla
ture for 40 years he just has enough
to live on comfortably. He never has
possessed much more than a salary,
for he gave up his law practice early
in his political life, and he has en
tered no schemes which could lead
to personal emolument.
HONEST MAN HAS BEEN FOUND.
Discovered Assets and Had Bank-i
ruptey Case Reopened. |
It is now proclaimed that the “hon-|
est man” has at last been found. Hej
is Edgar L. Pierson of New York.
He is insisting on paying his debts,
under peculiar circumstances, and
the propositions that he is layingi
down are attracting a great deal of%
attention and are being given much
publicity. |
The facts in the case are found in
one of the eastern papers. Pierson
was formerly a real estate broker and
a director in a life insurance com
pany, also president of a gold mining
company. He went into bankruptey
ten years ago. His schedule showed
twenty-six creditors, their claims ag
gregating about $ll,OOO. He had
no assets, and, consequently, none of
!his creditors. took the trouble to file
claims. He went through the forms
of bankruptecy and was put in posi
tion to start again with a clean slate.
Recently Pierson found that he, at
the time of his failure, had owned
real estate in a New Jersey town,
which he had overlooked. As an
other has put it, ‘‘there are many
honest men who would take the will
for the deed and say nothing more
about it, but this is not the heroic
stuff of which Pierson is made.”
We are told he has applied to the
United States district court to have
the case reopened, so that a chance
may be given his old creditors to file
their claims. The judge who heard
the petition was frankly puzzled. He
had heard of men concealing assets,
and he had heard of them honestly
disgorging every penny's worth of
property.
This honest man insisted, however,
that the creditors should have their
chance, now that he had discovered
his mistake. The creditors’ ac
counts, even outside of the bank
ruptcy, would have been outlawed
long ago. But as Pierson insisted
the judge agreed to the request, giv
ing the creditors a year in which to
file their claims. Some of them are
dead and others have moved away,
but Pierson announces that he will
advertise to find them or their heirs.
He is determined to pay his outlawed
debts. Of him the Washington Post
says:
“Pierson is undoubtedly the man
for whom Diogenes searched with a
lantern. His aetion is unusual, and
yvet, in a well-ordered universe, it
should be an every day occurrence.”
SIOUX COLONY FOR NICARAGUA.
Indian Chief Sailed From Boston to
Get Grant For 16,000 Acres.
To save the remnant of the Sioux
tribe of Indians from extinction by
consumption and other diseases a col
ony of the Indians will be established
in Nicaragua early in the new Yyear.
Chief Little Bison, a full blooded
Sioux, sailed from Boston on the
steamship Esparta the other day for
Nicaragua, where he will receive the
deeds to 16,000 acres of land granted
by the Nicaraguan government for
the establishment of the colony.
The project is supported financially
by F. S. Dellenbaugh, head of the
American Geographical society, and
several wealthy New York people.
The emigration of the Indians s ex
pected to begin in January.
