They declare that they will not permit the United States to aid the Mexican federais. and in addition to looting and killing Americans in Mexico, they in tend transferring their activities to the border. Americans Help To Fight Rebels EL PASO. TEXAS.. Sept. s.—Re pulsed in their first attack on Nacozari, Sonora, the rebels made a second as sault upon the town during the night, and fighting is still going on there, ac cording to reports teceived early to day. An insurgent army of 700 men under <;< iter.il Rojas has the town under siege. The army of defense is made up of ; handful of Mexican federais, a few rurales and a number of volunteers. Among the volunteers are many Ameri cans who are employed by the Naco za:i Copper Company, which has large interests there. The officials of the company, fearing destruction of their property if the tout, fell, armed their American employees as guards. Nacozari lies 50 miles south of the intf rnatb'nal line.

Bagley on his 3.200-acre plantation at Oglethorpe, Ga. I his time to insurance work in Atlanta ami Macon —he has offices in both cities. He devotes the remainder to his planta tion- But he long ago learned the secret of not trying to do everything himself. I He has good men the best of men—in • charge of his interests and he lets them I do some thinking for themselves. , The Oglethorpe plantations comprise 3.200 acres in Macon county. Mr. Bagley today was given a charter for the com pany, with $250,000 capital stock. He ex ' pects to sei! the pref, rred at sllO a share, land he shows his faith in his proposition i by taking the common stock in exchange | for his property at a valuation of SSO an I acre. How Company Will Operate. ; I The company will be known as the I Oglethorpe Plantation Company, with of fices in Atlanta and Oglethorpe. A num- ’ ; her of the best known business men In ' ; Atlanta will be associated with Mr. Bag ley in the enterprise. : Mr. Bagley and his associates are ■ among the first business men of the r South to realize the importance and ad vantage of incorporating agricultural un dertakings. In many respects, the com- ! i,any is unique. It will have an active 1 board of directors, among whom will be practical farmers, trained financiers and experienced business men Under the su- I pervision of an executive committee from • this board, offices wilt be maintained in ■ this city for the purpose of purchasing supplies, marketing the crops and the ■ various other products of the company, i The farming properties acquired will be ■ developed along four principal lines: gvn , eral farming, with cotton gin. warehouse and grain elevators; stock farming; dai ’ rylng: pecan and peach orchard. Each de ' partment will be in charge of an expert thoroughly familiar with up to date and improved methods of agriculture. The company has acquired 3,200 acres , of the richest farm lands in south Geor gia. Sixty acres of the east portion of ,• the plantation lies within the city limits of Oglethorpe The properties have been THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1912. operated during the last four years by Mr. Bagley, who. by deep plawing and in tensive fertilization, has brought it up to a high state of cultivation, in conjunc tion with one of the railroads passing i through the company's property there will be established a demonstration farm anil field laboratory. The fact that modern business methods ■ can be applied successfully to farming has been demonstrated by Mr. Bagley. Last year he sold his peach orchard at , i Americus, in acreage one-half the size i of the i resent holdings of the Ogle i thorpe Plantation Company, for $126,000. i The success of this undertaking was due in a large measure to scientific manage ment. Experts in Charge. The system of management of the plan tation already has been worked out. M i C. Welch, for years head of the Postal Telegraph Company's construction de partment. has been engaged as general su i perintendent, with authority over all. R. > E. Brightwell, an expert construction man, will have charge of building barns, tenant 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 I accountant, will keep an accurate cost system, with complete records of expenses i and profits, which will show just how i much profit each department is making. ; I 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 Bagley idea. "And the labor question won’t give us much trouble," said Mr Bagley in his of- I flee In the Fourth National Hank build- I ' ing. "My idea is to give the working ' force comfort and keep them happy. 1 i i shall try to restore the old conditions of ; before the war’ so far as the kindly rela r | tions between employer and employee are i concerned i “We have erected 40 new tenant houses Henry (’lay Bagley, v iio plans a real, old-time plantation, run on a business basis— like a rail way system. t.’ith ’ glass windows and brick chimneys and a garden to each house. Part of the garden work will be done by the general plantation force, but the tenants will be required to do necessary work to raise a supply of vegetables for their own use. To Provide Am. sements. “We are planning a combination ehurch and schoolhouse, and will engage a negro preacher and negro teachers for the folk on the plantation, 'there will be about 150 workers. I have encouraged the form ation of competing baseball teams among the younger negroes, too. and every Satur day afternoon they )>!;■> for prizes given by the management. "In the future wc expect to plant 1 000 ! acres in pecan trees.' continued Mr Bag ley. "Me shall divide this Into five-acre tracts and sell to bona tide settlers. A live-acre pecan orchard will support a family in comfort." Mr. Bagley is confident of a success from a businesslike management: of a plantation. But then he has been used to success since he was 17 years old. He was born near Americus, graduated from Mercer -at 17. the youngest tn his class, and assumed entire charge of a big plan tation when his father. Daniel 8. Bagley, died the next year. When he was 21 he attracted the attention of Samuel H. Hawkins, one of the great financiers of south Georgia, and was made cashier of a well known bank. Then began the fa mous tight between Americus and the Central of Georgia railroad. The Sumter county representatives in tiie legislature were fighting for a rail road commission, anti the roads were bit ter against the move. The Central began la campaign of retaliation against Amerl- I cus. It took the name of the town off Its schedules and referred to it as “No. 5%.” and began building a network of roads around the town to cut off all wagon trade and wipe Americus off the map. Colonel Hawkins and Mr. Bagley began to tight for their town —and won. They built the Savannah, Americus and Mont gomery railroad, now a part of the Sea board, and kept Americus from being bot tled up. Railroad a Success. Henry Clay Bagley was just 27 then, I but he was rna'de president of the Ameri i cus Investment Company, which financed ! the road and developed real estate hold ings. At the erid of two years it had ' cleared half a million dollars and paid a 100 per cent dividend. It was Mr. Bagley who laid out the | town of Cordele and named it for Colonel I Hawkins daughter, Cordelia. Then, at the junction of the new road and the Southern he laid out and developed an | other town, called Helena, in honor of Mr. Bagley’s youngest daughter, Helen, now Mrs. P. C. McDuffie, of Atlanta. Both towns are thriving and succeeding. In 1893 Mr. Bagley came to Atlanta and became cashier of the Maddox-Rucker Banking Company, now the American National bank. Two years later he en tered the life insurance business, becom ing general agent of the Penn Mutual. Now h<- is senior member of the firm of Bagley & Willet, of Atlanta, and Bagley, Willet & Paine, of Macon, general agents of that company. But through all his other operations Mr. Bagley never lost interest In farming His visits to his plantations are to him what vacation trips to the seashore are to most men. He loves outdoors and the soil. 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,s6ti an acre. Several tears ago he became interested in the de velopment of a great tract in Macon coun ty, part of it within the limits of the town 1 of Oglethorpe, and his success with this plantation led him to project his corpor ation plan for further developing its re , sources. He expects to bring out of this ' tract all that experience and careful study can do. For Henry Clay Bagley Is that : rare combination in agriculture—a man with actual farming experience, natural , ability, scientific knowledge of soils and plant life and the capital to earn* out his ideas If there’s any money in farming > it ought to spring from his plows. WILD WHOOPS FOR ROOSEVELT IN MINNESOTA “We’re Going to Stay Up Until We Elect You.” Shout His Admirers. ST. PAUL. MINN., Sept. 5.—A lusty brass band awakened Colonel Roose velt at the union station here at 7 o'clock this morning, when his train arrived from Des Moines. It was ac companied by an eager reception com mittee of 200 insistent Bull Moosers, who kept yelling for the colonel. Half an hour later the colonel appeared on the platform of his private car smiling amiably. He got a tremendous whoop. Roose velt observed that Minnesota appeared to wake up early in the day. “We have been awake a long time.” came the reply. “We're going to stay up until we elect you.” Tlje ex-president was taken to break fast at the St. Paul hotel, after which he shook hands with the Minnesota leaders. He was assured that the Pro gressives are putting up a good bat tle in the state and that the colonel will carry the state in November. At 10:30 o’clock the ex-president left for the state fair grounds in Minne apolis to deliver an address at the agri cultural building. At the fair grounds Roosevelt was met by a special Minneapolis com mittee and brought to that city, where he was banqueted at e l2:3o o’clock. About Buo attended. Following this, he became t .t» guest of Congressman Frank M. Nye on an automobile tour of the city. Guest at ’’Farmers” Dinner. An innovation will be accorded him this evening when the managers of the state fair will tender him a “farmers dinner.” The management of the fair • e erved the privilege of having the colonel alone during the dinner and eoliths will be tabooed. With a flourish, Colonel Roosevelt swung in the state fair grounds here today while 15,000 people cheerefl. The throng waved bandanna handkerchiefs tmd the band played “Gary Owen,” and the Bull Moose cry spilt the air. The colonel spoke to the immense crowd from a grandstand erected un der the shade trees near the agricul tural hall. In the course of bis talk, he attacked Governor Eberhart, Repub lican standpatter, for aligning himself with the Taft forces in the state. Be fore the colonel sorted talking a young woman in blue sang a melody, in which a line in the chorus ran “I’m not afraid of the Bull Moose." The crowd took up the refrain, calling “Who's afraid? Who's afraid?” While the colonel was talking he handed his black broad-brimmed hat to a full Moosrr on the platform. “That’s the hat that’s in the ring," quoth the colonel, and the crowd cheered wildly. Fight Between Bosses and People. “This is only nominally a three-cor nered fight," said the colonel in speak ing to the lowa state Progressive state convention last night. "In reality, the fight is between the party of the people on one side and on the other the bosses and the beneficiaries of privilege who will throw their weight to whichever of the old parties they think can beat us. “YouTl find long before election day —already there are symptoms of it—• that the old Republican party has been swept aside. The fight lies between us anti the old machine Democracy. I ap peal to even former Democrats who are loyal to the principles of Jefferson and Andrew Jackson to stand with us, and I appeal to every former Republican who is loyal to the principles of Abra ham Lincoln. "The official Republican party of to day bears to the party of Lincoln the same resemblance that a ship which has been captured by pirates does to the ship before it was completed. Barnes, Penrose, Guggenheim and the rest of them wouldn’t have known what was meant by Republican prin ciples if you had mentioned them. Those men represent the crooked alli ance between crooked politics and crooked business, which has been the curse of American life. They knew at the Republican convention in Chicago that they were insuring the defeat, of themselves. They expected the Demo cratic party to come into power—but they thought we would confine our selves to putting the other set of bosses into power, and that after four years they would come back again. Nothing is gained by changing the whip of Barnes. Penrose and Guggenheim for the scorpion of Murphy, Sullivan and Taggart. All bosses look alike to us. Bartholdt a “Highwayman.” “I see that Mr. What’a-his-name, that congressman from East St. Louis, Bartholdt —he is one of the highway men—has asked Mr. Cummins to de bate the Toxas, California and Wash ington contests at Chicago. I hope Mr. Cummins will refuse, for the reason that I wouldn’t debate with a pick pocket the ownership of a watch he has just stolen. If the police are handy, I'll hand him over to them. If they are not, I’ll tend to him myself. Any man, any candidate for governor or other office who has knowledge of the facts and supports Mr. Taft gives us | the right to say that he is not com petent to pass upon honesty in public life. "Now, a few words to the men who were formerly Democrats. I want to call your attention to this difference between the Chicago and Baltimore conventions. The victory at Baltimore for Mr. Wilson was achieved because I the bosses finally concluded that his (victory meant their victory. At Chi- Garford Heads Ohio Bull Moose Ticket COLUMBUS. OHIO. Sept. s.—Arthur L. Garford, of Elyria, a manufacturer, was today nominated for governor by the Progressive convention. In his ad dress accepting the nomination, Mr. Garford termed it "the greatest honor that was ever tendered a man by any party in Ohio." Farford is the man who I stated that he had been offered the Republican nomination for governor as Judge Dillon's successor, .but refused It "because he wanted no strings tied to himself.” He declared that there was “room for only two political parties in this country, the party of progress and the party of resistance.” A platform was adopted which rat ified the national declaration and de clared in favor of many industrial and social reforms. Governor Hiram Johnson, of Califor nia, made the principal address of the day, and it was a telling speech, set ting forth the principles of the Pro gressive party. “Party of Men Unafraid.” Johnson was eloquent and spoke with great earnestness, holding his hearers’ minutest attention and creat ing spontaneous applause. "This is the party of rrien unafraid,” said Johnson. "We met in Chicago three weeks ago, and it was the dawn of a new era in political action, and at last, my friends, we are going to fight something else than a sham bat tle. At last we have a party that will regard as its greatest asset Its men, women and children. "We are the only party that boldly makes its stand for social and indus trial Justice. « “We stand for a protected tariff, but a tariff that will get money Into the pockets of working men. We believe in a revision downward of the tariff as it now exists that we may equalize the prices of commodities here as well as abroad." L. J Tabor, of Bellemont county, was nominated for lieutenant governor. Republican Nominee Named. John J. Sullivan, Republican nominee for secretary of state, made an ad dress renouncing the nomination and declaring that he “was no longer a candidate of the Republican party.” Sullivan was then nominated by ac clamation for secretary of state. The balance of the ticket was named as follows: State Auditor—Charles L. Allen, of Marion. State Treasurer —William Kirtley, Jr., of Defiance. Attorney General—Robert Nevin, of Montgomery county. Democratic Funds Low, But Coming CHICAGO, Sept. 5. —That the Demo cratic campaign fund is very small was the admission made by Charles R. Crane, vice chairman of the Democratic finance committee. Although the total is small, Crane asserted the leaders were satisfied with the way the money is coming in. "We are content,” he said. "We are trying to see how much can be accom plished in this campaign with a. small amount of money." • It was reported about headquarters here that the campaign fund has not yet reached SIOO,OOO. This, politicians say, is a very small amount on which to begin the work of the campaign. WOMAN DRIVER OF CITY STREET SPRINKLER QUITS DENVER. Sept. s.—Mies Mabel Rice, the only woman sprinkler cart driver in the world, has given up her job to take her place in a vaudeville circuit. She handed her resignation to Mayor Arnold this afternoon, to take effect immediately. Miss Rice hag been a familiar figure in Denver streets as she drove a wagon, clad in a service able suit consisting of tan colored bloomers and knee-length skirt. "I got tired of the monotony of driv ing up one side of the street and down the other," she said today. cage the bosses knew that our victory meant their defeat. If the Democrats succeed in November, it means that every boss will be enthroned In his own state. The representatives and beneficiaries of privilege will feel that they have had a new lease of life, it means precisely that.” Colonel Roosevelt said he found everywhere among reactionary Repub licans a growing purpose to support Mr. Wilson on the theory that Presi dent Taft was beaten already, and that the only hope of preserving the old parties was to support the Democratic ticket and defeat the Progressives. Turning to Judge John L. Stevens, Pro gressive candidate for governor of lowa, he continued: "Today Judge Stevens told me about an old standpatter of the steam roller type who said to him: ‘Taft is beaten. I am going over to Wilson to beat the Progressives. We’re going to throw the lever clear over the other way.’ “Where Mr. Wilson is getting sup port of that type we have the right to ask every independent Democrat who believes in the principles for which Democracy nominally stands to come with us. I ask every Democrat who really believes in the right of the people to rule to come with us, for every rep resentative of privilege, every boss, is going to his- side.” THE DAY’S WORK Does it sometimes seem that you simply could not get your work done? Do you constantly feel like sitting down? Per haps you yawn continually. Then you need Tutt’s Pills Because your liver is sluggish and should be stirred to ac tivity- at your druggist’s, sugar coated or plain. SOUTH CAROLINA NOW IN UPROAR Decision of Executive Commit tee to Postpone Second Pri mary Stirs State. COLUMBIA. S. C., Sept. s.—South Carolina is in an uproar today as a re sult of the decision of the state execu tive committee to postpone the second primary for state officers while the fraud investigation goes on.

The Anderson county'executive com mittee is examining witnesses today in the fraud allegations. The state committee, which met here yesterday to begin its investigation of fraud charges, named a sub-committee of seven to thoroughly probe the re cent primary. The sub-committee was clothed with full power and authority to take testi mony and make a thorough investiga tion of all alleged Illegal practices at the primary.

The state committee adjourned to meet at the call of the state chairman and the sub-committee will begin the work of Investigation at an early date. It Is certain that the Blease faction will do all in Its power to prevent an investigation.

Specific instances of fraud were re ported to the committee and action will be taken this evening. Lines were sharply drawn between the Blease and Jones factions when the committee met, and hundreds of men from the country are here watch ing the committee’s work.
