Athens, On., Aug. 14.—Declaring that
graft and inefficiency exist on n Inrgo
Aculo in tho Georgia Department of
Agrlrultoro, and making acvoral other
gpccitic charges which he snys ho is pro-
parert to prove, Senator L. 0. Brown an
nounced Saturday morning that ho iil-
tenda to, continue tl|o fight for an inves
tigation that he started during tho re
cent session of t|io Legislature.
' Tlio resolution of Senator Brown that
a joint committee be appointed to invos
tigs to tho Department of Agriculture
was referred to the Agricultural Com
Jfiitteo, whoro it <l|ci).
In making a long lint of clinrgcs
against tho dop/|rt>nont, Senator Brown
affirmed that he ))i|d 1,0 ‘I*' feeling to
ward J. ,T. Brown, and that ilia action
in catting for an investigation would ho
for no othor purpose than, to aorvo the
people of Georgia.
“I expect to sliqw by sworn evidence,
when nn investigation is made,” tho
Senator declared, “that tho Goorgia
Department of Agriculture ia controll
ed hy tho Standard Oil Company and the
fertlltxer trust, I expect to show fur
ther that L, B, Jackson, liend of the
State Bureau of Mnrkota, a branch of
the department, charged up to tho Stato
Ilia expenses in mnking u trip to St.
Louis, Mo., whero ho put through a deal
with a manufacturer of Automobile tugB
whereby ho scoured n commission
Amounting to $0,000, qn tho sale of- tho
tug* to tho Secretary of State. I have
Affidavits to prove this, and that ho
collected tho inonoy,
“I expect to allow that tho Dopnrt
mont of Agricultnro^tollootod 80,000
-samples of fnrmors’ cotton which woro
not roturnod, and on which no report
has boon mndo, ’’ Sonntor Brown nssert-
•cd. “These Hnmplos, I understand, nv-
'eruged about throo quarters of a pound
in weight, and will total 120 nvorngo
halos of cotton, for which no accounting
baa boon made.”
Tho Senator deolarod that tho Stato
Popartmont of Agrifiultiiro is tlio only
dopnrtmont in Goorgin which is not com
pelled to account for tlio ftiiidB .handled.
For tho $88,000 npproprintion nmdo to
$h* Duronu of Markots last yoar, tlio
only tmigfblo result was n puniphlot pur
porting to offer farmers’ produce for
onto.
“Goorgin is nn ngrtonltural State,”
Senator Brown concluded, “Hor pros
perity depends upon tho dovolopmont of
her agricultural resources, and those re
sources omi nevor bo fully dovoloped un
der tho .handicap of an inofflolont De
partment of Agrleultiiro which drnins

> WOMEN OUTNUMBER MEN.
“There are more women than men in
tlio world today,” stated Mrs. Kathe
rine Clemmons Gould, president of tho
Woman International Chamber of
Oommorce, at tho Willard. * * Because
•f this women are entering tho Holds of
tradb and commerce in larger numbers
tha* ever before. There is work to bo
done, and tlio women are willing ami
■ eager to do it
“In Franco there arc 4,000,000 more
- women than men. In Englaud tho wo
- men outnumber, tho men by about
- $.900,000. The same ia true in Ger-
-many and in almost every country that
•was in tlio recent world catastrophe. In
many of our own States the women out*
number tho men. This being so, it is
but natural .that women should take to
business. The old prejudice against wo
men in tho- fields formerly occupied by
men has almost completely diod down,
■Women realise that if they are to fol
low in tho footsteps .of men they must
loam to do the things that men have
done successfully. Some of tho greatest
men fn the world are puraning thoir en-
deavors in trade and commerce. It might
aurprfBo many folk to know that women
are at tho heads of some of. tho greatest
American business.- institutions.
“The old order has changod. Women,
upirrred on by necessity, have taken an
active interest in business and aro making
good. Many of them, left widows by
lio war, with children to support, were
not content to idle and let others sup
port their charges. Instead they have
gone forth into tho fields formerly con
trolled almost exclusively by men and
have proved to the world that woman’s
place, aside from being in the homo, is
also ill tho marts of trade, if she so
chooses. ’ ’
THE 44-HOUR WEEK.
A Minnesota farmer, Charles H. Carl
son, of Marshall, does not think much
of the strike of tho printers in order to
secure a 44-hour week. Contrasting tho
farmer and the printer, he says:
“When a farmer has put in an oight-
hour day (eight before dinner and eight
aftor); when ho hna to give tho railroads
half Ills crop to got the other half to
market; when IiIb largest cowhido would
not pay for a steak in a St. Paul hotel
or his biggest team eouldn't haul enough
hides to market to pay for the harness
oil thoir bnr.ks, it is Biiro pleasant to
road tho ndvortiBomonts of the striking
printers. If working four hours less a
week lengthens life nine yenrs, they ought
to cut out. nil work and live forovor. I
should think the employers would bo hap-
py to pay thorn thoir $40 per week if
they sent a union messenger boy around
to tho print shop each morning with
thoir visiting cards. If their reasoning
holds good that shorter hours mean long
er life, tho average Minnesota farmer
should linvo been dead and buried long
ago. ’ ’
Another item of interest is to note
tlio difference, saya tho Boston Tran
script, betwcon conditions at tho present
time and those that prevailed in tlio
boyhood of men not now old. “At that
time tho standard weok’a work consisted
of Blxty hours—that is, of six days of
ton hours each, without tho Saturdny
half-holiday. It was not until 1874 that
tho Massachusetts Legislature established
tho past, and the union workers themselves
week for womon. This plan meant, ordi-
nnrily, work from 7 o’clock to 12 and
from I o’clock to 0 every day. It was
then regarded ns a vory humane and
onHy arrangement for the worker, ns it
was contrasted, with the twelve-hour
schedule that had gone before it. And
12 daily hours of labor—sovonty-two
hours n week—woro not .regarded in their
tiino ns a hnrdBhlp, bocnuHO they wore
in thoir turn compared with the four-
toou-hour day. Wo soo that tho limita
tion of hours lias boon progressive in
tho past, and union workers thomsolves
evidently propose that it shall bo pro-
gresBivo in the future. Tho question
arises, whero is tho progress to stop?”
“THE LITTLE OLD CHURCH AT
THE FORKS OF THE ROAD.”
Carrollton Times"?
Who enn monsuro tho gdbd wrought
by tho “little old church at tlio forks
of tlio road,” whoro our mothorB nnd
fntliors worshiped? Wo thunk Ood Hint
many of them nro still loft in t.lie coun
try, whoro tlio trutli is taught, and God
is worshiped in tho good old-fashioned
wny. They nro not nil dismantled, nor
doHortod, nnd thousands nro still finding
thoir wny to lionven through tlio aisles
of tlio churches “at tlio-forks of tho
road.” Tlioro lionvou is still lionven,
mid boll is still hell. Tlioro tlio Biblo
is still tlio Biblo. No shoot is cut out
nnd no sentence eliminated. God is God,
mid faith abides.
There’s a little old church at tlio
forks of tlio road—n landmark, disman
tled nnd gray. Whore onco tlio warm
fires of humanity glowed tlioro’a n col
umn of ashes today. Yos, an old coun
try church, where the ravages of Time
its plan of destruction pursues—whore
tho pulpit, deserted, pathetic, aublime,
looks down on the worm-eaten pews.
And the old congregation lies sleeping,
serono, whore tho spread of ’God'b Aero’
enthralls. They hoar not the roflr of
humanity’s tide, nor the plaint when
tho whippoorwill calls. Thus, the little
church at the forks of tho road divinely
yet mutoly holds sway ’till Time with
his sickle, and Tide with its goad, shall
have swept tho last fragment away.
This houso was a mocca of sinner and
saint In tlio lmlcyon days of her youth.
From hor Holy of Holies to vestibule
quaint, they quaffed at the Fountain of
Truth; but tho spire of tho city hath
crowned in lta might, a greater nnd
grander abode, ’till only tho angels may
pause in their flight o’er the church at
tho forks of the road ”
33-YEAR-OLD MAN SEES WOMAN
FIRST TIME,
Omaha, Noli.—Tracy GHUs, aged 33,
until the other day never remembers
seeing a railroad train, street car, air
ship, woman, daily paper, or a fiction
magazine. It was tlio flret time he was
over near a harbor shop or a razor.
Tracy’s father, George GilliB, 68, re
cently died on his western Nebraska
ranch forty miles from a railroad. Thir
ty years ago tho Aider Glllia brought
his young son from Chicago. The boy’s
mother was Maggie Ives, an actress,
who deserted her husband nnd went
with another man to the Twin Cities.
Resolved tlmt Ws son should not krfbw
what he tormed tho “terrible realities
of tho flesh,V’ Goorgo Gillls, who claim
ed to hovo been converted a short time
after the olopoment at a Moody nnd
Sankcy mooting in Chicago, brought
tlio little boy to NobrnBka. His ranch
at tlmt time was 160 miles from a rail
road.
Tho boy never was off his father’s
runch and saw others only at a distance.
Whon his father died Tracy made up his
mind to see modern civilization. His
long board and mustache shaved, ho
donned new clothes bought from the
snlo of a load of cattle. ( Ho says ha
thinks lie’ll marry, take an'agricultural
course in colloge and modornizo his ranch,
