Georgi* Farmers Receive Many Ben
efits As Resuit of Constructive
Work of Market Bureau.
Atlanta, Ga„ August 2.—That the
state agricultural department and (
the market bureau, one of the prin : ’j
cipal branches of the department ac-,
tivity, which recently submitted its ■
am ual report to the legislature, has j
accomplished a large amount of con
structive work Ls generally admitted
bv lawmakers who have analyzed the
report. „ ' ,
1* is pointed out nt the report—
an,i substantiated by many agricul
turists—that the market bureau has
been a large factor during the. .year
in the organization of the Georgia
Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Asso
. ciation, the Georgia Cane Growers
- Association and- the Georgia Peanut
Growers’ Association. It has found
a market for" many fprm. products
through the? columns of the teurte*
Bulletin, with its more than 200,000
circulation.
Before the market bureau was es
tablished, it is shown that the grow
er of potatoes in Georgia received $1
a bushel for his product, and the At
lanta consumer paid $4 and up
wards. The bureau has brought
about a change whereby the middle
man is eliminated, the grower get
ting $2 and the consumer paying
only $3. ,
“An effort i« being made to de
stroy the bureau of markets because
it has cut out of it the ‘fly-by-night’
dealer and speculator,” said Commis
sioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown.
“It is doing more for the Georgia
farmer than any other state depart
ment”
Mr. Brown said a reduction of the
fertilizer tag tax from 30 cents to
10 cents, which has been proposed
in the legislature, would only put the
difference in the pockets of the fer
tilizer manufacturers because they
average up the tax in the five
southeastern states, which range
from 20 to 50 cents, and put on the
average tax at the factory. He said
the price was raised 30 cents in
Geoigia when the tax was only 10
cents and would be retained at that
figure though the reduction is made.
Oil Inspection Fees.
In the oil inspection department,
the report of the state department
of agriculure shows, that $513,587.89
has been collected during the year,
of which $419,367.67 has been turned
into the state treasury, the balance
being used as salaries for oil in
spectors. During the year a total of
22,992,601 gallons of kerosene were
inspected, and 82,278,693 gallons of
gasoline.
Commissioner Brown urges reten
tion of the system of local oil in
spectors, in order td protect the kero
sene users from the danger of explos
ive liquids being sold to them by
mistake, and also asks that the law
be changed to provide the distilla
tion test for gasoline, as well as the
specific gravity test.
The department’s chemist during
the year analyzed, the report shows,
3,14? samples of fertilizers, 937
samples of food, 526 samples of feed
stuff, 68 samples of drugs, 379
samples cf insecticides, and 198 mis
cellaneous samples. The pure food
department reports more than 10,-
009 sanitary inspections during the
year and also condemnations of a
gioat many articles offered for sale
as food.
In the report of the state veteri
narian it is shown that 129 counties
in Georgia are now free of the cattle
tick, that the infection in seventeen
other counties is only slight and that
cn.iy ten counties still remain under
federal quarantine.
Two thousad, six hundred and six
ty-six drug inspections are reported
by the state drug inspector for the
year.
In its financial statement, covering
all funds used by the department, it
is shown that the department turned
into the state treasury for the year
1922, in excess of th'> amount it i?
allowed to spend, a total of $288,-
918 49 from the various sources of
revenue.

CHAS. HUEY TELLS WHAT IT
TAKES TO MAKE CHARACTER
Character, my friends, is one of the
motive powers of the world. It is so
easy to drift with the current. In
this day of fads and fashions it
takes a courageous man to
himself a true character, for ofttime*
h; must withstand the scathing re
buke of the world.
Character is magnetic, in its power;
it if the cornerstone of individual
greatness. There are', trying and
(RTjious circumstances in life which
j shew how valuable and important
i character is. Good character never
j, wavers, never hesitates—the man
wrfhrn says quite emphatically "no 1 ”
| when asked to ,da a, frr'cntg thirjg.
j The man within will not sanction a
| ctuel act. • ' }■ .
i. ■ There 1 is a wide difference 'Between
| character and reputation, Character
jis What‘a man is; reputation is what
|he i s thought to.Jsp. A loan may.
have a jgood character and a Bad
reputation; or a man may ..have .a
good reputation‘and a bad character.
Most men are more anxious about
their reputation than they are their
character. While we all desire a
good reputation we should wfish es
pecially to possess a good character.
Our minds are given us, but our
characters we make. Character is
not unreal or imaginary, but is con
crete. It is the power plant of per
sonal influence. If we have the right
aim we live as we ought to and do
what duty requires. • «
All of us have three distinct char
acters: what other* think we are;
what we think we are; what God
know* we are.
Opinions may differ as to what
institutes a good character. Think

Ml RtWS-MIRAL©,
Promulgation of the Declaration of
Independence Greatest American
Anniversary Excepting July 4.
August 2, 1776, is the greatest
date in the revolutionary period of
American history, excepting cniy
Jply 4. On the latter date the im
mortal declaration of independence
was enacted by congress by a vote >.f
twelve states. The delegates from
New York state did not vote because
the state convention giving them au
thority to do sa was not held until
July 9. The president and secre-ary
pf congress authenticated the decla
ration on the same day ans it was
duly published tp the world, but the
historic document was not signed Ly
the members so congress until Au
gust 2, when fifty-three delegates af
fixed their signatures. Subsequently
the signatures of Matthew Thornton,
■of New Hampshire; El bridge Germ,
of Massachusetts, and Thomas Mc-
Kean, of Delaware, were affixed.
The declaration of indepeid ■ tee' is
one of the most momentous do. u
mente ever -passed by popular as
sembly. In the truest sense it rep
resented the re-birth of civilization 1
and liberty. Not only dd it proclaim
tile severing of the ties that bound
the American colonies to the mother
land, but it was a proclamation of the
principles that underlie all free gov
ernment. The declaration, phrased
s> vividly by Jefferson, was not only
a challenge to the German despot
who wore the British crown, but jya®
a challenge to all political and ro
'igious tyrannies. The establishment
if these principles not only laid the
‘oundaticn for popular sovereignty
on the American continent but set
f ree great social and political forces
that have emancipated mankind. It
is not too much to say that every
nation in the world has been pro
'oundly influenced by the American
leclaration of independence.
Events Moved Swiftly.
The events that led up to the dec
aration moved swiftly. A little
nore than a year earlier the great
oolitical leaders in the colonies de
nounced any thought of independence
in nc uncertain terms. Franklin de
clared that he never heard a word in
favor of independence “from any per
son drunk or sober.” Washington
himself had given the assurance that
he had no thought of separation from
England. As late as September,
1775, Jefferson was still “looking
with fondness toward reconciliation.”
But the oppressive measures and
stubborn attitude of King George
md his ministers forced the colonies.
State after state declared them
selves independent, Virginia leading
;he way with her bill of rights pro
rogated in the spring of 1776. This
'istoric state document was a wor
hy forerunner of the great declara
ion and included such phrases as:
‘all men are by nature equally free
nl have certain inherent rights;”
“all power is derived from the peo
ple,” and “all government ought to be
instituted for the common benefit of
the people.”
Many Were Masons.
Freemasonry recognizes the decla
ration of independence as distinctive
ly Masonic in that it embodies with
'orce and clarity the fundamental
cachings of Masonry, the great
principles of freedom, justice and
quality for which Freemasons in all
'and.* have fought. Of the fve mem
heis of the committee appointed by
congress to draw up the declaration
if independence three were Masons,
lei.iamin Franklin, one time grand
nastei of Pennsylvania, Roger Sher
man. of Connecticut, and Robert Liv
ng:ton, afterward grand master of
New York.
Thomas Jefferson is known to have
been a member of the Masonic lodge
if the Nine Muses in France, but
vhore he was made a Mason is net
shown by existing records in Ameri
can lodges.
Virtually all the leaders in the con
inenta! congress were Masons. Be
cde.-; Franklin, Sherman and Living
ton, already mentioned, were George
Washington, Pevton Randolph, past
grand master Masons of Virginia,
elected first presiding officer who
lied during the session, and was
ucceeded by another Mason, John
Hancock, of Massachusetts, Richard
Henry Lee, a Virginia Mason who
was the author of the resolutions for
independence that preceded the fuller
declaration. Among the many other
distinguished patriots in the. congres s
who were Masons might be men
tioned, Robert Treat Paine, Elbridge
Gerrv. John Witherspoon, # Lewis
Morris, and Edward Rutledge.

with boxes, baskets and trunks filled
with good things to eat and at the
noon hour there was a table spread
out under the trees and such a feast
as it was it is hard to tell. It did
not look like hard times. To say it
was enjoyed by alp resent is putting
it mildly. After dinner there was
music by the string band, also duets
were sung by Mrs. Lonnie McMillian
and her sister, Miss Pearl Hudgins,
that was enffioyed by all. After the
music there was some splendid talks
made by Mr. Charley Griswell, Un
cle Johnnie Hinton and others which
gave eloquent evidence of the es
teem and appreciation in which lsn
cle Bunk is held by his friends and
neighbors.
