After the most successful convention
In the history of the organisation, the
annual meeting of the Farmers’ Union
of Georgia adjourned Thursday after
noon shortly after 4 o'clock.
The afternoon session .was devoted
to the consideration of some of the
reports presented by the committee,
and aJI of thetri were commended,
resolution concerning fertilisers was
also considered, and experts along thla
line wer© attentively listened to. It
was generally believed by the dele
gates that tho best way to use fer
tilisers was for the farmers to know
the make-up of their soils, and after
this was known, they would be bet
ter enabled to Judge about the fertili
zer*. '
On Rural Schools.
One of the Interesting reports sub
mitted and adopted by the convention
was that of the committee on the Im
provement of rural schools, consisting
of William' Bradford, chairman; W. M.
McGuhee, J. W. Mayfield, T. L. Haw
kins and W. D. J. Sumner. The re
port recommended that the committee
be made a permanent one nnd empha
sised the necessity of enlarging the
facilities of the rural schools instead
of any reduction. The report was es
pecially emphatic on this point. The
report declared that if there was to
be any loss by pending legislation,
thut loss should fall upon the Institu
tions of higher learning, which were
better able to bear it, and not the
rural schools.
It was pointed out in this repoft
that the public schools of Georgia are
the foundations of Georgia's educa
tional system, and that they are of
more vital Importance to a large num
ber thari Is the superstructure. In
addition the report declared thut the

President Duckworth’* Address.
A short but complete history of the
Farmers’ Union in Georgia, its diffi
culties and its triumphs was contained
in the annual address of President R.
F. Duckworth at the state convention.
It went straight to the point and he
told In a few words of the growth and
prosperity of the organization in apite
of attempts to thwart this.
The following is the speech In full:
"The growth of the Farmers* Uniort
in Georgia can best be understood by a
glance ut ita history. The first local
union was organized In Troup county
and was chartered in January, 1904.
"The fall of 1904 found us In a set
fight for higher prices on cotton. We
adopted the first minimum price aver
set by the farmer* on December 17,
1904, and Just as we were about to win
the victory, some spinners, speculators
and a few farmer* met in January,
1905, and organised the Southern Cot
ton Association, rushed into the press
and claimed all the credit for higher
prices, and thousands of unorganized
farmers believed the credit belonged to
Is disclosed.
The state owns about ten acre* of
ground In the heart of the business
section of Chattanooga, which, it la
suggested, may bo sold for a million
and a half dollars, and ground pur
chased at cheap prices by the acre
may be secured along the Tennessee
river for switching yards.
It Is pointed out In the communica
tion that such a plan will not only
benefit the state, but it will enable the
city of Chatfanooga to open Broad
street and relieve the congestion now
caused by the railroad switching yards
In the heart of such a business section.
By abandoning these yarda and sell
ing the property for business purposes,
it Is declared In. the communication
that a big warehouse trade wijt be de
veloped hy the road. Then, too. by
acquiring larger yards along the Ten
nessee river the road would be enabled
to operate Independently after the
present lease expires.
The house and senate committees
will be met by the committees In Chat
tanooga and the members will be fur
nished with maps of the ’property.

MAN POISONED,
BODY BURNED
Holly Beach, N. J., July 26.—The of
ficials are Investigating a story told by
James Watson, a laborer of Angeles, to
the effect that an aged Philadelphian
named Schmidt, had been poisoned,
robbed and his body burned to conceal
the crime. Mary Hand, a resident of
this place, was examined by the police
in connection with the alleged murder
* ‘ She l* not
“We organised a state union In May,
190.V, the starting of which put us sev
eral hundred dollars In debt, without
one cent In the treasury. For several
months we had to spend our time and
receipts trying to overcome the false
Impressions our members received, and
to hold them In' line. At our last an
nual meeting, May, 1906, the state con
ventlon passed a resolution condemn
ing the course of Mr. Harvle Jordan,
and this settled the disturbance and
gave confidence to our membership.
This permitted the stato officials to
turn their attention to unorganized ter
ritory, with the result that thousands
were added to our membership. This
has enabled us to pay our debts and
leave a balance to our credit.
“I was selected as president ten
months ago, and It has been my aim to
carry out the work planned by the lost
annual convention. The growth of the
organization shows that these plAns
were jvlse and progressive. We have
won the light before the railroad com
mission for passenger fare reduction.
"We hnve been successful In fighting
the udulter&tlon of cotton seed meal to
the extent of a number, of mills being
exposed by the commissioner of agri
culture.
"We have stirred Georgia from one
end to the other on the question of
foreign Immigration, and have exposed
this scheme to rob the Southern farm
ers so thoroughly that an advocate of
foreign Immigration is hard to find.
Not Many Difficulties.
We have had many difficulties to
contend with. It was while we were
organizing in Troup, Harris and Merl
wether counties that Mr. Harvle Jor
dan decided to play the role of a pro
tector for tho Georgia farmers by
Jumping on the Farmers’ Union nnd
Its organizers. This caused the mem
bers to become disheartened, and
the work was young, we were badly
crippled. Organizers were hard to
get, and those that were persuaded
to take the field met with what Mr.
Jordan hod said, became discouraged,
and returned home to tell the boys
"that the farmers could not be organ
ised." This caused the locals to become
weak-kneed, nnd they would write to
headquarters for a speaker. There
was no speaker to send, and when they
learned this many of them became so
discouraged that they quit meeting.
There were those, however, that stood
by us from the beginning, and would
not believe the false statements of the
enemies who were trying to destroy
the organization.
“When I was selected for the very
tesponslble position of state president,
I found the state's affairs Improving,
but not fully restored from the blows
given by the schemers who belonged
to the Southern Cotton Association,
