James J. Hill, about the biggest corporation king on earth, has just made a statement that con gress and all law making bodies should be abolished and the country allowed lo continue for about fen years now wi'hout any change. It would pro!) ably suit Mr. Hill to have this done. In about that length of tunc he would probably acquire over half of the railroads, dominate about half ol the wes tern territory and incidentally do a great many other things that might work t ) the detriment of the greatest number. Now conies along the so-called progressive members ol the legislature and they join hands with Mr. Hid anil bis kind. There's no doubt but that Mr. Hill is a great factor in build in; up the couutry where he is interested, hut he docs it lor personal rea s ms. There's no doubt ! tit that we have too much latv making oi a kind, b it wc need more good laws. This year the legislature will have some new laws which should be cor, s'dered. There is a well defined movement on foot looking toward the es t iblishment ot another county oflice-t hat of commissioner of agiiculturc The subject of gem! roads ; n 1 state construction will be another theme R-gulation of spec I for automobiles and directions lor passing must be at tended to, for life atul piopetty is endangered now by frequent reckless driv i lg and the auto lias just begun its career. The importance of education is growing greater and the revenue of tin state must be wisely directed so that the greatest possible results may be secured. In this connection it is well to say that here in Milledgevillc in one of the greatest of the state's institutions and it should receive more aid so as to accommodate more students. Prohibition Leader Coming As all Prohibitionists know, a quiet battle is being waged against the Pro hibition law that is now in effect is i Georgia. It is n matter of common knowledge that the law is being openly violuted in every large city in the state, particular ly in its provisions with reference to the snle of beer. Plans are being formulated bv the Anti-Saloon League to meet the condi tions as they present themselves in the state. Rev. J. B. Richards, Assisant State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League will preach in the Baptist church here Sunday, June 20th, in the morning, and in the Presbyterian church in the evening. Mr. Richards is thoroughly posted in regard to conditions as they exist throughout the state, and his addresses will he of interest to ail who are in sympathy with Prohibition. “White House’’ coffee, the nest of the best coffees; “Gold Medal”, the best 26c coffee, and Lipton’s teas, at Chand ler Bros’.

Mr. David Ferguson, who has been living here for many years left for New York Wednesday where he takes a position with the New York World, lie is a well known journalist and maga- xins writer. A g iculture, rt at ng to the ci tton crop I think that the cotton growers need some relief. It has been the custom several yeats in the United States gov ernment to canvas the entire cotton growing country and obtain from all gins a report of all cotton ginned and make a report upon the condition of the growing crop, and this information is furnished to the world at various times it iring the year. Whether or not this i desirable, I am not prepared to say, 1) .t is probable that that system will be c ntinued. Tnis information gives the spinners ami the tiaders in cotton full and explicit knowledge as to the num ber of halos of cotton ginned nnd as the probable output of the crop and gives them large advantages in the matter ot purchasing cotton. While on the other hand the cotton grower has no informa tion concerning the stock of cotton on hand in the various mills, the amount of cotton goods contracted for in the future and the probable future demand and 1 have prepared a resolution which 1 hope the Legislature will pass request ing Congress to provide for the Agri cultural Department, obtaining inform ation from the Spinners,users of cotton, and storage warehouses in the United States as to the amount of cotton on band, the amount of cotton goods un sold the amount of cotton goods con tracted for in the future and such other information as will give the cotton growers full knowledge of the stock of cotton available for manufacturing pur poses and the probable immediate fu ture demand. This information if avail able to the farmer, would aid him in a judicious disposition of his crop and would be entirely fair to the spinners who themselves have fctll information as to the cotton growers condition.” Mr. Vinson leaves for Atlanta next Monday week.
