WASHINGTON Oil. 14—The bump er harvests now in s ght are furnishing much of the talk about Washington, and Secretary Wi - >n, of the depart ment of agri. ■•u-turc. said; "The total value of farm produc tion for 1912 will be ov< r $9000.000.000 the greatest' agri-ultural yield in the history of the country That looks like I prosperity. The total value of 1911 i farm products was $8,417,000,000, com-j pared with $s 694.000.0 n" in 191".'' I figures ate for farm products of all kinds, including animals. In the official crop report issued by the de partment of agriculture tecently. fig ure sos the probable, yield of nine prin cipal staph products were given. The average prices paid to producers on October 1. 1912 for those produc ts are now set forth in another report mad' public by the agricultural department today. Ry an application of these av erage prices to the nine products in , question, it appears that their total valuation is $3 590.387,554. or s6n9 605,- 554 In excess of the value of the same products in 1911, an increase of 20.4 per cent. While the average prices cgf-tfarm products on October 1. 1912. aressome " hat lower than the average r/O for the same products on the same date last year, the difference being due to the tremendous additional supply this year, the enormous Increase in the c rop of 1912 overcomes the lower prices and gives a total revenue to the farmers of the country that surprises even the ex ports of the agricultural department Corn, for which the farmer obtained an average pric eof6s 7- cents on Oc tober 1, 1911. and 77 6-10 cents on Sep tember 1 last, sold on October 1 foi 70 2-10 cents per bushel. Put the corn crop on October 1 this year amounted to 3.016,000,000 bushels, while for 1911 its total production wus 2.531.000,000 bushels. The value of the indicated corn crop on October 1 at the average price paid to the farmer will be $2.1 17.232.00a, The value of last year's corn crop was | $1,565,258,000.

A LITTLE SIX YEAR OLD DARLING IS RESCUED FROM ITS MISERIES Little Willie Shumate, the little six >< ar-olci son of Mr and Mrs. Shumate, nf 168 Kirkwood avenue, thin eity, suf fered like thousands of other little chil dren are suffering. He was pale and punj . in his sleep he would roll and toss, in the morning his breath was bad. and during the day he was very j nervous and constantly biting bis fin- ger nails or picking his nose. He was too young to take severe medicines and the parents were simply told not to worry, because the child woul get over (public notice! I Judging from the manner of the Camoaign which has been conducted by the “MYSTERIOUS WOODWARD CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE,’’ and believing that their same B tactics will be employed and continued throughout the entire campaign, we ask the public to be on its guard against the publication, AT THE LAST MOMENT, of further attacks up- l| on the integrity and character of Mr. Chambers made in their desperation to deceive the voters of Atlanta. Already attempts have been made to assassinate the B character of Mr. Chambers, and the perpetrators were forced to make public acknowledgements in the daily press of the falsity of their slanderous charges. Any similar charge, or charges, will meet the same fate, B S but the hope of the opposition lies in springing these false | p attacks at the eleventh hour. I J. R.

If you'll look over your coal bills this week you’ll find them 25 cents a ton higher than at this time last year, and the end isn't in sight. Dealers predict a jump of 25 or 50 cents a ton in No vember. Only the settlement of the Georgia strike and the releasing of numerous cars tied up along its lines prevented Atlanta suffering a coal famine soon, the dealers say. As it is. the mines are behind on deliveries and it will be a week or more before the supply is nor mal again. The advance in Southern coal prices is an echo of the great anthracite strike; in Pennsylvania. Atlanta uses little • an thracite, but the miners in the bitu minous regions of Kentucky and Ten nessee took advantage of the strike and succeeded in getting a marked wage advance from the operators, which was promptly unloaded on the shoul iriers of the dealers and thence to the usual goat—the consumer. Rest gradso of grate coal are selling today for $4 75 a tone, while they were marked at $4.5(1 a year ago. Other grades show a like advance of 25 cents. There is no prospect of a coal famine, as Atlanta has an ample supply on hand, hut advances in price are pre dicted next month. PAPER 40 YEARS OLD. LEXINGTON. GA..

CHAMBERS HAS HELPED TO DO TO THE PEOPLE OF ATLANTA: Aldine Chambers has been a faithful, active, earnest and honest worker m the General Council since he was elected to that body. He has taken part in the enactment of much important legislation. Here a.re a few of the things Mr. Chambers has accomplished: •4 ■ . He has earnestly advocated a readjustment and equalization of taxes. As a result of the legislation which he advocated, the'tax assessments have been increased from $120,000,000 to $151,000,000 and business conditions have not been disturbed. IN ADDITION, HE HAS ADVOCATED AND HAS HELPED TO CREATE BY CHARTER AMENDMENT A BOARD OF APPEAL, WHERE ANY CITIZEN WHO FEELS HE HAS A GRIEVANCE IN REGARD TO THE AMOUNT OF HIS TAXES MAY TAKE HIS COMPLAINT FOR ADJUSTMENT. He has been most active in legislation which has reduced the cost of street lighting about $20,000.00 per year, and in saving to the small consumers on light and power in our city something like $150,000.00 per year. He introduced and had passed an amendment to the franchise of the Pied mont Power Company a provision that prohibited a consolidation or merger of that company with any other without the consent of Council. By reason of this amendment the contracts of this year carrying these great reductions were made possible. He helped to originate and pass legislation which gives to the city REAL COMPETITION in letting street paving contracts. He has been active on the committees which had the letting of contracts within the past four years of 140 miles of curb and sidewalks—a larger amount than was laid during the fourteen years preceding. He has advised with and passed upon in its construction in the past two years 70 miles of lateral sewers, thus eliminating 5,000 surface closets, which ha-s reduced the typhoid death rate more than 50 per cent. He was an earnest advocate of, and succeeded in securing, more and rea sonable pay for our poorly paid school teachers. Mr. Chambers has originated and taken an active part in the formation of more progressive legislation than any member of that body, and because of the activity and ability shown by him, practically every member of the pres ent City Council—those who retire this year, and those who take hold next year—are supporting him in his race for mayor. Mr. Chambers has been active and alert, and a student in city affairs, and through co-operation with boards, and others in authority, has accom plished MANY GOOD AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS for Atlanta Because of this a few thoughtless people have charged him with being the “boss” of the ring. Mr. Chambers is not the “boss” of any ring. He is not a. member of any ring—except in his desire to join with any man or set of men to do that which will aid in the development of his city, and prove a benefit to all the people. WE ASK YOU TO COME OUT ON NEXT TUESDAY AND PUT THIS HONEST, CAPABLE YOUNG MAN AT THE HEAD OF OUR CITY GOVERNMENT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. J. R SMITH, Chambers Campaign Committee
