On Plant Disease.
Professor J. M. Reade, botanist at
the university, who reported on the
train Monday night for the entire trip,
delivered a lecture on plant diseaae In
which he Is endeavoring to Interest the
farmers. Anthlcnose, or cotton rot, Is
receiving special attention, as It
a common dleease In Georgia.
Charles S. Chase. Western Industrial
agent for the Southern railway, spoke
of the part which the Southern is tak
ing In agricultural education and the
operation of the special train.
At Cannon. Martin and other towns
where the train could not atop, largs
crowds were assembled a£d President
Soule regretted that stops could not
be made at theae.
Distributing Literature.
Literature treating on agriculture
and dairying is being liberally dis
tributed and President Soule Invites
the farmers to write direct to the col.
lege for additional information.
At each meeting queries are Invited,
particularly concerning the splendid
exhibit in the baggage car. This dis
play. which has been Inspected by
many of the most prominent and suc
cessful farmers In the territory thru
which the train has passed, Is con
ceded to be one of unusual excellence
and Is a great credit to, the university
farm.
So far ae la known no educational
train, carrying an agricultural exhibit,
has ever been operated north and west
of the Ohio river. Trains have been
run from the platforms of which ex
perts deliver brief lectures on the pro
duction of corn, but no exhibit wae
attempted.
President Soule Introduced the Idea
at a meeting of the board of trustees
of the State Agricultural College and
succeeded In convincing the members
that 12.000 could not be expended to
better advantage. Because of this
fact the promoters of the project are
highly pleased at the auocese of the
venture. Different railroads were In
duced to co-operate In the prosecution
of the plana which made the educa
tional train possible.
Six Hundred Visit Car.
That the farmers are deeply appreci
ative of those efforts on the part of
the college faculty was apparent Tues
day afternoon when more than 404
representative cltlsens according the
party a hearty welcome to the city.
Mayor John B. Rudolph, one of Hall
county’s most progressive citizens, had
appointed a committee consisting '
the following named gentlemen,
wurk up Interest In and attend the
meeting:

The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling.
The pains and aches of kidney Ills
Are serious—If neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles follow.

A. R. Davis, plumber, of SI Edge-

suffered a great deal from backache.
»nd I knew my kidneys were out of
order on account of the Irregularity ol
<he secretions. The ache was a dull,
heavy pain right In Ihe small of my
"nek, which often prevented me from
fleep St night. I could hardly turn ovet
In bed, and when I did a sharp, cutting
pain would strike me, sometimes In one
Place and then In another. I often had
to rise several times during the night
on account or my Inability to retain
•he kidney secretions, which seemed to
“• all out of sorts, were highly colored
and of s strong odor, besides being full
of sediment. None of the remedies
which t tried did me any good until I
got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. In
one night they relieved me, and since
u> lng the box the secretions have lost

tirely left my back. I am glad to bo
able to tell others of this wonderful
cure."

The Georgian li able to give to Its
readers Information on “The Needs
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture.” In which the following facts
are set forth: *
Georgia produced 1,028.320 bales
cotton In 1108, worth 288.780.087. No
money la spent by the state for the Im
provement of this crop, or for the edu
cation of the farmers with reference ti
Its Improvement. Some varieties are
unquestionably superior to others, and
the yield of cotton can be doubled and
trebled thru better methoda of tillage,
abed selection and cultivation at but
comparatively small additional cost.
Can Georgia afford to ignore her most
Important crop? Certainty not, when
me expenditure of a few thousand dol
lars annually will bring back millions
In the aggregate.
Immediate Needs of College.
The need of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture at the present time Is
proper financial support and men of the
highest type to place In charge of the
various departments of Instruction and
research which must be maintained If It
Is to be an Institution of the greatest
service to our farmers. The college
needs 50,000 for the completion of Its
buildings and the purchase of necessa
ry equipment and a maintenance fund
of at least 880,000 a year. This may
seem like a large earn of money, but.
when all the Items of expense are con
sidered It will be seen to be a small
amount; ipuch smaller Indeed than
many states with much less wealth
than Georgia are appropriating at the
present time. When you consider that
this money Is to provide salaries for the
professors, postage and stationery, fur.
niture and supplies, llboratory and farm
equipment, heat, light and water, main
tenance of experimental work and trav.
etlng and contingent expenses, the sum
does not look solarge. "When you real- tvhen .hr- var
ies that a professor worth having can >“ ln, 8d several times. When the \er
not be secured for less 82,000 or 13,500
a year, and that as much more la need
ed for his department If he Is to be a
really serviceable agent of the Institu
tion In learning new facte from nature.
It Is easy to' see that 850.000 dwindles
away very rapidly. • • •
What Other States Are Doing.
In conclusion. It may be proper to
etate that Missouri gives 185,000 a year
to her college of agriculture and $40,-
000 to her experiment nation. South
Carolina gives the fertiliser tag tax.
which le more than 8110.000 annually.
Texas appropriated for ’the last bien
nial period more than $177-000 to her
Agricultural and Mechanical College.
Alabama has recently given 8175.000 a
year for a period of four years to her
Agricultural and Mechanical College
and state university. The buildings and
equipment of the Virginia college and
station are valued at 1200,000. Min
nesota ha* an Investment of 8424.000 In
buildings devoted strictly to agricul
ture! education, and It costa 8100,000 a
year to maintain her college of agricul
ture. She has, however, 1,000 etudents,
because she has made a sufficient In-
vestment to demonstrate the practb
cablllty of agricultural education, and
has organized her agricultural college
on euch a dignified and comprehensive
basis as to give It a standing through
out the length and breadth of the edm
monwealth.
Theae are but a few scattered cases
cited to show whst other states are do-
Ing and to Indicate the possibilities
which may be placed within the reach
of the youth of Georgia at a compara
tively email cost end within a reason
able period of time If the farmers of
the state see proper to support and
maintain the only institution In the
etate designed to serve and promote
their Interests.

ld might be given restoratives. She
diet was announced, Mrs. McDonald
was the most composed person in the
room and did not bat an oye-loah when
she heard the words of the Jury fore
man. Many of her friends wept and
were comforted by the released woman.
Young Guerin was shot and killed In
his studio February 27. 1907. He and
Mrs. McDonald were alone at the time
and she was arrested and charged with
the murder. It was known that Mrs.
McDonald had been In love with the
young man ten years, the affection hav
ing developed when he was less than
17 years of age. Mrs. McDonald Is the

the arresf. but the shock killed him
and he died Auguet 9, 1907. He left his
fortune to his wife and two children.
A fund for her defense was provided
In his will. This will was attacked by
a former wife and the case Is still pend
ing.
STOPS ATTERMINAL
ON TOURJF STATE
Dean Soule Hopes to Oper
ate Train College
Every Year.
After two days of work under most
unfavorable circumstances, the arrl-
cultural educational special from the
University of Georgia pulled Into the
Terminal Station Tuesday evening, re
suming Its Journey shortly after 7
o'clock Wednesday morning. Austell
was Ihe ffrst stop of the day at
o'clock In the morning.
Dr. A. 51. Soule, dean of the state
agricultural college, who Is In charge
of the train, expressed great satisfac
tion with the reception tendered the
train the first two days.
Monday and Tuesday stops were made
at Commerce, Maysvllle. Lula, Cornelia,
Bowersvllle, Center. Royston. Lavonla,
Toccob, Gainesville and Buford, and
more than 2.000 people of all classes
were shown thru the train and heard
the talks.
"We met the farmer on his own
ground." said Dr. Soule. "We demon
strated to him that we had a sincere
desire to be a real aid to him In his
work, and he has met us with a line
spirit of Interest. I believe this train
will arouse the state from one end to
the other In agricultural education. I
hope It will be found expedient to op
erate this train every year.”
The train was Joined here by Com
missioner of Agriculture Hudson, who
will b# with It several dsye. He will
make practical talks to the farmers
along the way.
When the train left Atlanta Wed
nesday morning for' the second leg of
Its trip President L. A. Ransom, of
the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association, was a passenger and will
remain with the train for two days
und probably longer.
President Ransom, In a practical
way, will tell the planters how to han
dle their cotton seed In a manner to
secure higher prices for It when de
livered to the mills for crushing, and
after securing the cotton seed meal
how best to mix It with cotton seed
hulls In order to secure the best re
sults ae a cattle feed.
Some expert cotton oil mill man will
be with the train throughout Its tour
to make similar talks.

In a personal letter to J. O. Bagwell,
president of Bagwell business College,
Mr. E- M. Chartier, author of the fa
mous Chartier system of shorthand,
declaren that he has been misrepre
sented by a recent article published by
the Southern Business College In which
It was stated that he had forsaken his
system. ,
“False" and "unscrupulous" are the
terms which Mr. Chartier hpplies to
the statement. The letter follows:
PARIS. Tex., Feb. 6. 1908.
5!r. J. O. Bagwell, Atlanta, Oa.:
Dear Sir—In a recent Issue of an At
lanta paper I notice that the Southern
Business College Is like a drowning
man grasping at a straw. Having,
E. M. CHARTIER.
Author of famous Chartier Sys
tem of Shorthand, taught exclu
sively 1 In Atlanta at Bagwell Busi
ness College.
carded the Graham and all of the Plt-
inanlff systems before Chartier was
seemingly. Insufficient merit In their-heard of?
stenographic department to commend
them to the public, they seek to uplift
and sustain themselves upon what they
represent to be the shortcomings of
Chartier shorthand. *
Altho I have for reasons best known
to myself, withdrawn from the Char-
Altho I have no-further Interest In
Chartier Shorthand, my faith In It is
unshaken, and again I say with empha
sis, that It Is unquestionably the best
system In use today. This fact has
been demonstrated by the hundreds of
the leading' school* of America tha
tler-Spencer Publishing Co., I still de-1 have adopted .the System during the
clnre Chartier 8horthend to be the best 1 past four years. What more could one
system in use today.
We must expect, I am truly sorry to
say, to meet unscrupulous men In the
business college world as well as else
where, who would stoop to misrepre
sentations to gain profit. The South
ern Business College made the state
ment that thin was the third syetem of
shorthand that I have Invented within
the past two years. This statement is
false.
With best wishes, I am, vary truly
yours. E. 51. CHARTIER.
In the abqve letter we have submit
ted absolute proof that the proprietors
of the Southern Business College have
attempted to deceive the public by
making untruthful statements about
slvety In Atlanta by Bagwell Bust-
We leave the public to draw Its own
conclusions a* to whether any Instl-
Chartler Is now four years of age • tutlon that will stoop to such methoda
and Is the first and only system of
shorthand before the public today In
which I have had a hand. It seems a
pity that In this advanced stage of civ
ilisation that business college men have
to resort to such undignified and uneth
ical meaps of securing business.
One could scarcely expect that all
schools would maks a success of Cbar-
tler any more than all men succeed In
any given line of work; but the very
few failures. If any (and we doubt If
there has been one where d fair and
Impartial trial has been given the sys
tem), are due, I venture to say, with
out exception, to one or more of the
following causes: Either the, teacher
had not the time or the Inclination to
devote the necessary study to, thor
oughly master the 'system, or thru
prejudice born of familiarity with an
other aystem,'he may not have done his
own ability nor the subject justice; or
a few schools may have found that
they could collect more tuition In
teaching the old systems by the month.
I should like to ask our kind oppo
nents how many hundreds of schools
and discouraged students have die-

age of the people.
$1,000 for Orphans.
Bagwell Business College has offered
to deposit 21.000 In any bank to l.e
given to the Associated Charities of
Atlanta If It can not be shown In pub
lic content before disinterested Judges
that students of Chsrtler shorthand are
more competent stenographers after
one, two, three and four months' study
than students of the Graham and the
Pitman systems.
We trust that the charitably Inclined
friends of the proprietors of tho South
ern Business College will use their In
fluence to Induce them to accept tho
above proposition. If these gentlemen
are sincere In their statements about
Chartier shorthand they could not pos
sibly have any objection to entering
the contest, as they would have no risk
to run and nothing to lose. By doing
BO thoy would he the means of giving
81,000 to the orphans and unfortunates
of Atlanta.
