VALUE 1312 CROP
S9,!10U,00D,00B
Greatest Yield in History of the
Country. Says Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson.
WASHINGTON Oct, 14—The bump
er hatve.-ts n x in sght are furnishing
much of the talk ibout Washington,
and Secre:ary Wi -mi. of the depart
ment of agriculture, siid:
"The total value of farm produc
tion tor 1912 will be ox < r $9 000,000.000,
the greatest agricultural yield in the
history' of the country. That looks like I
prosperity. The total value of 1911
farm products was $8,417,000,000, com
pared with $8,694,000,000 in 1910."
These figures are for farm products
of ail kinds, including animals. In the
offi ial crop report issued by the de
partment of agriculture recently, fig
ure so* tjie probable xi. d of nine prin
cipal products xvere given. The
average prices paid to producers on
October 1. 1912. for these products are
now set forth In another report made
public by the agricultural department
today. By an application of these ax -
erage price-- to the nine products in
question, it appears that their total
valuation is $3,590,387,554, or $609,605,-
554 In excess of the value of the same
products In 1911. an increase of 20.4
per cent.
While the average prices pt_farm
products on October 1. 1912. areMmne
what lower than the average prices 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 crop
of 1912 overcomes the lower prices and
gtves a total revenue to the farmers of
the country that surprises even the ex
perts of the agricultural department
Com for which the farmer obtained
an average price of 65 7-10 cents on Oc
tober 1. 1911, and 77 6-10 cents on Sep
tember 1 last, sold on October 1 for
70 2-10 cents per bushel. But the corn
crop on October 1 this year amounted
to 3,016,000,000 bushels, while for 1911
its total production was 2.531.000,000
bushels. The value of the indicated corn
crop on October 1 at the average price
paid to the farmer will he $2,117,232,000. |
The value of last year's corn crop was !
$1,565,258,000.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Judging from the manner of the Campaign which has
been conducted by the “MYSTERIOUS WOODWARD
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE,” and believing that their same
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
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
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,
but the hope of the opposition lies in springing these false
attacks at the eleventh hour.

Chairman Chambers Campaign Committee.

GOAL HIGHER AND
STILL GOING OP
Rate 25 Cents Above One Year
Ago- Pennsylvania Strike Is
Blamed for Increase.
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
ears 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 xvill 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
ders of the dealers and thence to the
usual goat—the consumer.
Best gradse of grate coal are selling
today for $4.75 a tone, while they were
marked at $4.50 a year ago. Other
grades show a tike advance of 25 cents.
There is no prospecj of a coal famine,
as Atlanta has an ample supply on
hand, but advances in price are pre
dicted next month

Here Are Some of the Things
MR. CHAMBERS
HAS HELPED TO DO
TO THE PEOPLE OF ATLANTA:
Aldine Chambers has been a faithful, active, earnest and honest worker in
the General Council since he was elected to that body.
He has taken part in the enactment of much important legislation.
Here are a few of the things Mr. Chambers has accomplished:
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
has 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.
