HOKE SMITH HAS
2 BILLS TO SID
THE FARMER
Would Have Experts Show the
Newest Methods and Give
Advice on Selling Crops.
Senator Hoke Smith today explained
to The Georgian two important bills for
which he is working in congress.
'T do not believe so great a service
can be rendered the entire country as
to advance the interests of those en
gaged In agricultural pursuits,” he said.
"With this in view, among other
things I am seeking to accomplish In
Washington, I have Introduced two bills
in the senate which bear directly upon
the farm.
“The first is known as the bill to
create an extension department in each
of the colleges of agriculture through
out the United States. The purpose of
this department will be, through the
state colleges of agriculture and exper
imental stations, to carry to the home
of the farmer all the knowledge there
gathered and which may hereafter be
gathered by investigation and experi
mentation.
Appropriates Three Millions.
"The bill provides for the appropria
tion of $3,000,000 to be distributed prin.
elpally according to agricultural pop
ulation among the various states. Each
state is expected to appropriate a sum
for the same purpose equal to the
amount which it receives from the na
tional government.
"This fund will equip the agricul
tural colleges with a force of men in
the different counties of the state who
will give their time to farm demonstra
tion, for the purpose of laying before
the farmers at their homes all that
has been learned about soils, about
plant food,-about seed selections, plant
diseases, etc., that will help the farmer
lessen the cost of production, vary his
crops and Increase his profits.
"The bill contemplates also advice in
household economics, domestic science,
Information about cattle and stocks,
hogs and poultry, and everything that
pertains to farm progress.
Has Strong Backing.
"This bill I Introduced Into the sen
ate early in January. It was prepared
in connection with the executive com
mittee of the agricultural colleges, the
representatives of the Soli Fertility
league of Chicago, and Dr. True, of the
agricultural department. The day after
I Introduced it in the senate it was
also Introduced in the house of repre
sentatives by Mr. Lever, of South Caro,
llna. Bills upon this same subject had
been introduced into both houses of
congress before, but never in the per
fected shape of the bill which I intro
duced last January.
Has Passed the House.
"A bill known as the bill of voca
tional education had been introduced
six months prior in the senate. The
vocational education bill also had a
section on the subject of extension
work from the state colleges of agri
culture, and to avoid conflict with this
measure, I deemed ft best to press first
our bill Introduced by Mr. Lever in the
house. The bill passed the house two
days before the adjournment of con
gress, and I have no doubt we will pass

Very yours,
the bill in the senate at the next ses
sion of congress. Thus we will provide
for a permanent appropriation from the
national government for extension
work by the colleges of agriculture and
the experimental station, and in future
all of the knowledge gathered in these
two Institutions will be carried to the
different counties of each state and
made practically useful to the farm
ers.
Been Tried in Europe.
“Several European countries have for
a number of years past had extension
work from their colleges of agriculture
similar to that which will be conducted
under the bill which I introduced in the
senate last January, and as a result the
production per acre of grain, wheat,
oats, potatoes and diversified crops gen
erally has been increased at least one
third.
"I do not believe that more valuable
legislation will be passed by congress
than this measure. I am on the agri
cultural committee and expect to be
able to report out favorably this bill
at the first meeting of the committee.
The subject has already been fully dis
cussed in connection with the bill which
was introduced in the senate early in
the year. I have no doubt the measure
will become a law at the next session.
Division of Markets.
"The second bill to which I have re
ferred is a bill which I introduced into
the senate for the creation of a division
of markets in the agricultural depart
ment.
“It is proposed in this division of
markets to gather information of value
to the farmers upon the subject of dis
posing of their crops. It will cover both
the disposal of crops by individual
farmers and also co-operation among
farmers for disposition of crops. It
will cover information seeking to bring
the producer and the consumer closer
together, to help the consumers know
where to buy, as well as to 'help farm
ers know better where and how to sell.
Now in the House.
“The hill w’hich I introduced on this
subject passed the senate a few days
before adjournment and has gone over
to the house. I have requested Con
gressman Lee, who is on the agricul
tural committee, to especially look aft
er this bill in the house.
"I will give it attention there also,
and have no doubt that it will become
a law before the close of the next ses
sion.
“I do not expect this measure imme
diately to bear its greatest benefits. It
will require a few years for the men
who take charge of it in the depart
ment of agriculture to become them
selves so versed in the work as to ac
complish the greatest good. I do be
lieve. however, that this division of the
agricultural department will develop
into one of the most important of the
valuable work that is there done, and
1 believe it will grow constantly in ef
fective service to the farmers and to
the public generally.”

SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Howard Ennis, of Baldwin county,
who succeeds Carl Vinson in the house
of representatives, has something of a
reputation as an eyelash finisher in all
of his political races.
The contest between Ennis and Vin
son was one of the most strenuous of
all the legislative wars waged in Geor
gia this year. Both are fine young fel
lows, and both have hosts of friends.
It was merely a question in Baldwin, it
seems, as to which could rally the more
friends to the polls on August 21.
When the ballots were counted, it
was found that Ennis had put it
the former speaker pro tern by the nar
row’ margin of 5 votes
A short time back Ennis ran for may
or of Milledgeville, which high and
mighty office he failed to secure by the
almost heartbreaking shortage of 7
votes!
Ennis confidently expects to tie his
opponent next time he tries his for
tunes in tlie political game—either that
or beat or get beaten by 1.
Tinsley Ragland, chairman' of the
enrolling committee, was re-elected to
the house without opposition.
Ragland was the hardest worked man
in the last house—the chairman of the
enrolling committee always is—and he
expects to take things relatively easy
next time, as he is not going to have
that enrolling chairmanship any more,
even if it be tendered him on a silver
waiter!
There is more hard work and less
spectacular glory in being chairman of
the enrolling committee of the house
than in most anything else one can
think of.
Ragland is a 200-pounder. anyway,
and is not cut out for hard work in July
and August.
With all the politeness and circum
spection imposed upon those who speak
no evil of the deceased, it may be set
down as a fact that the Move-the-cap
ital-to-Macon endeavor has been laid
to rest forever.
Above Its grave, where soon the grass
will grow long, and tall, and green, has
been written "Requiescat in pace;”
While the movement lived, it lived in
clover, but when it died, it died in all
spots simultaneously.
Macon is a grand okl town, and it
simply reeks with grand old people and
grand old things, but it is not going to
be made Georgia’s capital!
While the delegates to the state con
vention all agreed that they venerated
and esteemed Macon with a veneration
and esteem that could not be expressed
in words, mere words, still, and but, and
also nevertheless and notwithstanding,
they believed Atlanta ought to remain
the capital!
Not that they loved Macon less, of
course, but that —.

Lipscombe is a young man of the sort
Georgia should be only too glad to send
to the state legislature. He is a fine
business man, an extremely likable
"hap, and safe and sane on all ques
tions. For two terms he made the city
of Athens one of the best of aidermen.
and he is sure to take immediately a
high stand in the house of representa
tives.
Charles S. Not then will be re-elected
to his present position of secretary of
the senate without opposition.
The senate of Georgia would seem to
be mighty queerly framed-up, anyway,
without Northen part and parcel of it.
He has been there so long, and has
served so well and acceptably, that he
would be a reckless person, indeed, that
undertook" to grab that job away from
"Stump.”
If “Stump" didn't seek the job—
which, as a matter of fact, he does, in
a repressed and extremely gentle fash
ion—it likely would seek him.
Thomas S. Felder made a remarkable
race for attorney general. He received
more votes than any candidate who had
active and aggressive opposition, and
he carried more counties.
Out of a. total of 146 counties, Felder
rounded up an even 140—which was go
ing some, countywise.
His popular vote went, over 115,000.
approximately 60,000 over his opponent.
Naturally nowadays Felder’s friends
are pointing with pride to his record,
and notifying folks around and about
that it would be a good idea to paste
those figures in their hats and remem
ber Felder—they may hear from him
again.
J. T. Deese, of Cochran, legislated
himself out of office when he prevailed
upon the legislature to create Bleckley
county by taking off a fine, large slice
of Pulaski.
Deese might have been re-elected
to the house from Pulaski, it seems,
had it not been for the fact that the
new territory going into the county of
Bleckley embraced Deese's home base.
Being thus left out in the cold and
fearing that he might be but dwelling
in tile suburbs of Pulaski's affections,
anyway, in the circumstances, Deese
retired from the race, and a new man
will occupy his seat next time.
They do say, however, that the grand
young county of Bleckley, once it gets
its hat on straight, surely will send
Deese back to the house of representa
tives. 4 g

ROOSEVELT STILL
AFTER OIL TRUST
Great Crowds Jam Around Hirn
at Every Stop in Vermont
Campaign.
BARRE. VT„ Aug. 31.—Before a
crowd of 7,000 in the public square here
today Colonel Roosevelt made a strong
appeal for support of the state ticket in
Vermont at next Tuesday’s election and
urged the voters to tear themselves
away from old party lines. Among
other things, he said:
"Remember that the election outside
will be w atched eagerly and judged en
tirely from the national standpoint.
Every political boss <of the Penrose
type, every head of a big corporation of
the type of Mr. Archbold will be eagerly
hoping for the defeat of the Progressive
ticket in Vermont.
“The Penroses and the Archbolds and
all their type do not care a rap which
of the old parties triumph. They are
perfectly willing to have ■ you vote
either the Democratic or Republican
ticket if only you will vote against the
Progressive ticket. Look out for them.
They are trying to frame up something
on you like they did on me."
On the way here Roosevelt was
cheered by clusters of farmers. From
here the colonel went to Randolph.
The colonel was much elated over
the turnout of the people in his inva
sion of the Green Mountain state.
"If the crowds in the West come up
to the size of those 1 have seen, I
won’t live through it," he observed in
speaking to a jamb of people at every
stop. Colonel Roosevelt allowed it to
be known that he will keep on ham
mering away at the Standard Oil crowd
and Senator Penrose in his Western
trip.
The third party men are predicting
that he will carry the state. They pre
dict that President Taft is going to lose
the stqte by at least 5,000.
Why He Turned to Suffrage.
Colonel ‘ Roosevelt explainer! why it
was that ’he declared himself, in favor
of woman suffrage. He said that he
bad not been influenced to this view by
the, women tylid devoted their time to
promgting ( the cause of . suffrage, but
rather through his acquaintance with
women like Miss Jane Addams, of Chi
cago, whom he had come to know
through their interest in sociological
| work.
in speaking on the, trust question,
| Colonel Roosevelt declared that neither
I l he Democrats nor the Republicans had
an effective plan, and that "the big
trusts cordially approve of both plat
forms.”
He denounced the Stanley congres
sional committee which investigated
the trust question as "mere sound and
fury," and, explained the proposal, of
the Progressive party.
The colonel criticised ex-President
Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, for a
newspaper interview' In which Dr. Eliot
was quoted as saying that it was in
bad taste for Colonel Theodore Roose-r
velt to bring Miss Jane Addams into
publicity by speaking of her in accept
ing the Progressive nomination. After
saying that he had not mentioned Miss
Addams’ name, but had merely ex
plained his appreciation of havingsuch
a woman second his nomination, Colo
nel Roosevelt added:
"If President Eliot really considers
this allusion to Miss Addams as being
spectacular and in bad taste, 1 should
feel a mild curiosity to know just what
he would regard as nonspectacular and
In good taste."

CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Aug. 31.-Sam.
uel B. Hayes, an employee of a bot
tling company here, jumped from the
third story of a local hospital while in
a delirious condition, receiving injuries
from which he died five hours later.
Hayes’ body was badly mangled. He
was conscious when found and begged
to be taken back into the building. His
nurse, it is said, had left the patient
for a moment, when he crawled to the
window and jumped out. He leaves a

“Turkey” for T. R.
CHICAGO. Aug. 31.—Alexander H.
Revell, who managed the campaign of
Theodote Roosevelt’s primary races be
fore the Republican national campaign,
returned to Chicago today from a trip
abroad. He conferred with Colonel
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and is enthu
siastic over the Bull Moose movement.
”1 think Roosevelt will be the next
president," he said. "The people of the
country do not care for the party names
in the present political situation. They
believe Roosevelt is sincere in his ef
forts to do something for the people
and they will vote for him.”
Asked about the Penrose-Archbold
charges, Revell laughed.
I talked to Colonel Roosevelt about
that, he said. "The colonel told me
Pentose and Archbold had handed him
a nice turkey out of season and he was
going to enjoy it. and he will, too."
Revell denied that there had been a
disagreement between himself and the
Rough Rjder over the management of
the prime: y campaign.
New Party Dying,
Says Senator Lea
t Hit ago, Aug. 31.—Senator Luke
Lea. of Tennessee, who played an im
portant part in the Democratic nation
al convention at Baltimore, believes
that the new Progressive partv is dis
integrating. Senator Lea stopped in
Chicago on his way to Denver, where
his wife is ill.
"The third party platform." he said,
"has a remedy for everything but corns.
The Bull Moose party is dying a rapid
death because of recent disclosures
that show so clearly the insincerity of
Colonel Roosevelt. I refer to the Stand
ard Oil contribution of SIOO,OOO to the
campaign fund of 1904. The reaction
of sentiment Is shown by the pitifully
weak showing made by the third term
party in the recent Michigan prima
ries.”
MACON IS PREPARING
FOR STATE FAIR AND
CROWD IT WILL BRING
MACON. GA., Aug. 31.—What does
the Georgia State fair mean to the
farmers? It means education. It means
how best to Improve farming opera
tions. improving farm implements, how
and when to use to the best advantage,
getting the largest yields with the least
possible costs: how to produce more to
the acre than before: how to combat
destroying insects, drouths, etc.; the
best methods of tilling and seed selec
tion. It means, with the efficient ma
terial at hand, the covering of the lands
with smiling fields and waving har
vests, thereby creating larger bank ac
counts.
Phis fact can clearly be brought out
in a visit to the agricultural building,
where Hie farmers of Georgia will find
a building 600 feet long, just teeming
with the cream of the products of the
soil. Here one may see what can lie
done with the soil when it Is properly
tilled. The machinery hall will show
the many and varied kinds of modern
farming machinery and practical dem
onstrators in charge of same will take
pains to explain every piece and how it
,is used.
After a day spent in this way, one
will find that the fair association has
provided ample recreation in the form
of the greatest "midway" ever seen
before upon the state fair grounds.
The Georgia !■ late fair, beginning
October 15 and continuing until the
25th, will be the largest and best fair
ever held in tile state.
