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 tlio Treasury for noodloss oxponsos that •re ronlly usoloss lit iiaaisting tlio far mers of Goorgia.” , GRAND OLD GEORGIA.

Great la Goorgin I > 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.
