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 READ THIS.

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.” "J was cured of diarrhoea by one dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy." writes M.

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 —. By JAMES B. NEVIN. A fikstlm r and rleeided addition to the next ©£, representatives will be Frank A. Lipscombe, who comes from Clarke? if S t • 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 “Initials Only,’’ by Anna Katharine Green, author of “The Leavenworth Case,’’ “The Fili gree Ball,’’ one of the most en thralling mystery stories ever written, will begin in The Geor gian next Tuesday, Be sure to read 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." PATIENT, IN DELIRIUM, LEAPS FROM WINDOW OF HOSPITAL; KILLED 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.

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. SIOO Reward.
