Running a farm like a railroad, with heads of departments, cost systems, wel fare work and everything handled along strictly business lines is Henry Clay Bag- j ley's idea of making a farm pay. He is putting his idea into effect by capitaliz- 1 ing and incorporating his great planta tion at Oglethorpe. Ga.. and conducting it just as any big corporation would run its business. And if anybody doubts that Mi.

He devotes the remainder to his planta tions. But he long ago learned the secret of not trying to do everything himself. He has good men—the best of men—-in charge of his interests and he lets them do some thinking for themselves. The Oglethorpe plantations comprise 3,200 acres in Macon county. Mr. Bagley has applied for a charter for the company, with $250,000 capital stock, $150,000 com mon and SIOO,OOO 7 per cent cumulative preferred. He expects to sell the pre ferred at sllO a share, and he shows his faith in his proposition by taking the common stock in exchange for his proper ty at a valuation of SSO an acre. Experts in Charge. The system of management already has been worked out and is under way M. C. Welch, for years head of the Postal Telegraph Company's construction de partment. has been engaged as general su perintendent. with authority over all. R. E. Brightwell, an expert construction man, will have charge of building barns, lenant houses, wire fences and all bridge and road work. Robert Wilson, an expert farmer, will be in charge of all agricul tural work and Ben Stewart, an expert accountant, will keep an accurate cost system, with complete records of expenses and profits, which will show just how much profit each department is making. There will be foremen of the dairy de partment and the orchard department. The whole plantation will be directed by a set of men whose duties are as clearly defined as those of railroad officials. That's the Baglev idea. "And the labor question won't give us much trouble,'' said Mr. Bagley in his of fice in the Fourth National Bank build ing.

"In the future we expect to plant 1.000 acres in pecan trees, ’ continued Mr. Bag : ley. "We shall divide this into five-acre , . tracts and sell to bona fide settlers. A j l five-acre pecan orchard will support a family in comfort.” Mr. Bagley is confident of a success • from a businesslike management of a , , plantation.

For many years he owned the famous Bagley plantation near Americus, a 2,600- acre tract Most of this was bought at from $5 to sls an acre He sold the prop erty last year at S6O an acre. Several years ago he became interested in the de velopment of n great tract in Macon coun ty. part of it within the limits of the town of Oglethorpe, and his success with this plantation led him to project his corpor ation plan for further developing its re sources.

Lady Attendant. and the wishes of the American people and, as they are discussed between now and November, are bound to find such a substantial following as to bring about their indorsement at the polls. Like First Liberty Party. The Progressive party, because of the principles for which it stands and the character of its leaders, has a most enthusiastic, earnest and intelligent following, verj- like that which built up the first great Progressive party of liberty, protest and progress that took this country from the control of Eng land and gave it to the control of the people living in the Cnited States. It was the patriotic following of Wash ington—those who were called the revolutionists >f their day—that gave to the people of America the control of their own nation and their own gov ernment. of late years, gradually but surely power has slipped away from the peo ple. and the time has come to bring that power back to the people onct more. One hundred and thirty-five years ago on our Atlantic eoast our people declared in substance that, through the progress and evolution of the human race, they had reached a point where they no longer needed, nor was ft any longer for their best spiritual and ma terial welfare, to be ruled by a king. Forefathers Took the Step. it is almost impossible for us ir this day and generation to realize the magnitude of the decision thus rcacher by oir forefathers, the colossal nature of the progressive step those men took tlie complete overturning of the then existing method of government, the revolutionary ’ haraetcr of their act the enormous responsibility—at least in the eyes of the people of that time— that was assumed in the name of the people. in these one hundred and thirty-fivi years we have spent millions upon mil lions of dollais in the United States for the broadest ami best educational sys tem known to the world. What has been the use of all this expenditure of one hundred and thirty live years of time and millions of dol lars if it has not prepared our people to take on even further responsibih i ?s in ih< matter of self-goveinment? I: seems athe; inconsistent for the very men who have been giving such vast sums of money for tile purpose of educating the people to protest now that the people can not be trusted to properly use, in the matter of self government, the very education that these men have h' iped to provide. 't he boy is father to the man. You can not spend millions of dollars ed ucating the boy without having millions of questions to answer from the man.
