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.

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. J. R. SMITH, Chairman Chambers Campaign Committee.

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 PAPER 40 YEARS OLD.

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.
