crowded with boys and girls r< turning,
to their horn. - in almost every county
of the .state.
The show was thr most successful
ever known in the South, both in point
of attendance and number of exhibits.
The only disappointing thing was that
the record of last year of 214 bushels
on a single acre was not equaled in
1912. t
But Byron Bolton's record of 1< ■
bushels was not bad by any mean -, and
jt served to win the gland prize, a
S4OO Prrcheron mare, given by the Cen
tral of Georgia railroad.
Carroll Takes County Prize,
Carroll county took the first prize for
total production. 86 boys making 4,812
.bushels on 86 acres of land. Chattooga I
county was second with 2..90 bushels
for 50 boys. Many other counties mad, I
enviable records.
The parade in the afternoon was on.
of the most impressive of its kind evet ,
held, and the Corn club boys made mer
ry as they marched along, cheering re
peatedly as they taught sight of some
official in the crowd or the line in front.
Moving picture cameras caught them
at different points along the route, and
within the next few wicks the exploits
of the Georgia Corn clubs will be
viewed by audiences all over the coun
try.
Girls Given Certificates.
The girls did not fall behind the boys
in point <>f interest in the afternoon, for
they were busy receiving certificates
for raising and canning more than "00
two-pound cans of tomatoes on one
tenth of an acre
Miss Mary E. Pressnail, of the State
Agricultural college, the representativ
of the national government for the
Girls Canning clubs, issued certificates
to Gladys Scott, of Pike county; Janie
and Panic* Wicket, of Macon county;
Daisy Cowat'l. of Terrell county; Eron
Dooley, of Oconee county; Bertha Wil
liamson. of Terrell county, and Myrtle
Hurst and Louise Swlcord, of Decatur
county. Danle Wicker made 3,105
pounds of canned tomatoes on her
tenth-acre, and Eron Dooley made 700
two-pound cun- and also enough other
products to sell for $69.
That the corn show will continue to
be an annual affair was asserted at the
conclusion of the big show yesterday.
Each year helTafter the Atlanta Cham
ber of Comnutce expects to bring the
boys to Atlanta and demonstrate to
other states just what Georgia can do
with grain.

One of Two Women at Officers’
Dinner Party Gets Fractured
Skull—Explanations Differ.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.—As the
unexpected result of a dinner party and
gala evening spent by officers of the
United States gunboat Vicksburg and
two young women of Vallejo Thursday
on board the naval vessel off Mare Is
land. Mrs. Andrew Muller, one of the
women, has a fractured skull and seven
naval officers have been called upon the
carpet by their superior officers. Miss
Jessie Gibbons, a manicurist, was the
other young woman in the party.
How the young woman received her
Injury is being explained In two wide
ly different ways. The version of the
officers is that she fell from a com
panionway after partaking of cham
pagne. Rumor gives wide current to
the theory that she was struck by a
beer bottle wielded by the wife of one
of the officers w ho discovered her hus
band in the company of the visitor.
Thursday night’s merrymaking, which
so nearly resulted in a tragedy, is said
to lie but one of frequent incidents of a
similar sort which have occurred at
Mare Island within the last few months.
The names of 'he seven officers are
Lieutenant \V. T. Moses, executive offi
cer; Lieutenant J. F. Cox. ordnance of
ficer; Ensign r. H. Marion, first divi
sion officer; Ensign M. A. Mitehner.
second division officer; Assistant Sur
geon 1. \V. Bobbins, medical officer, and

CROP YEAR,SAYS
SEG’YJMLSON
In 16 Years Farmers’ Wealth
Has Increased 141 Per
Cent. He Shows.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—The most
productive year in the history of the
United States has drawn to a close, ac
cording to the annual report of Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson to the pres
ident. just issued.
Basing his figures on the census item.-,
on wealth production on farms. Secre
tary Wilson values the grand total of
the 1912 crop at $9,532,0(10,000. Be
sides the production of the soil, this
amount includes the live stock output.
In commenting on the productive
ness of the past year in relation to
those preceding, Secretary Wilson said:
“The enormous sum represented by'
the crop output of the United States
for 1912 is more than twice the value
of the wealth produced on farms in
1899, according to the census, and it
Is about one-half more than the wealth
produced in 1909.
"During the past sixteen years, the
farmer has steadily increased his
wealth production year by year, with
the exception of 1911, when the value,
declined from that of the preceding
y.e.ar. If wealth produced on farms in
1899 be regarded as 100, the wealth pro
duced sixteen years ago, or in 1897. is
represented as 84. and the wealth pro
duced in 1912 as 202.1. During the six
teen years the farmer’s wealth has in
creased 141 per cent. During the past
sixteen years the wealth production on
farms, according to the census items,
reached the grand total of more than
$105,000,000,000.
Uplift in Country Life.
In conclusion, the secretary- said:
"There has been an upllfv of agri
culture and country life. Beginnings
have been made in a production per
acre increasing faster than the nat
ural increase of population.
"In tills movement the department of
agriculture has been gradually equip
ped to occupy the foremost place. It
came to learn; it has remained to teach.
Its teaching, its discoveries and its im
provements are permeating the national
agricultural life. The forces that are
at work must cause ever-increasing re
sults.” •
Secretary Wilson included a crop
statement which showed that the corn
yield held the lead. The estimated val
ue of this product was $1,750,000,000.
t he yield reached the high water mark
of 3,169,000,000 bushels.
Hay was given second place in the
estimated figures contained in the Sec
retary’s report. The yield was 72,425,-
000 tons, which was heir] to be worth
$861,000,000. "The importance of this
crop.” says the report, “is better real
ized when it is observed that its value
is greater than that of the cotton crop,
and nearly as great as the combined
values of the wheat, tobacco and pota
to crops.”
Cotton Worth $860,000,000.
The report states that it is too early
to estimate the production of cotton this
year. $860,000,000 was placed as a pos
sible figure for this crop. The wheat
yield, as estimated by' the department,
will be worth to the farmer $596,000,000.
Oats were placed as the fifth crpp in
order, the value being estimated at
$478,000,000. The value of the potato
crop was placed at $190,000,000; the
batley crop at $125,000,000. and tobac
co at $97,000,000. The value of the
1912 flax seed, rye, rice, buckwheat and
hops crops were set at $30,000,000. $24,-
000.000, $20,000,000 $12,000,000 and
$11,000,000 respectively. The production
of sugar from the beet was set at
700,000 tons, 100,000 tons more than
that of last year.
Farm prices at which the crops of
1912 are valued are declined from the
prices of 1911 in the cases of some im
portant products. Barley has declined
36 per cent, corn 10 per cent, oats 25
per cent, rye 17 per cent, and wheat
5 1-2 per cent, hay 19 per cent, pota
toes 43 per cent, hops 43 per cent, llax
seed 27 per cent, and beet sugar and
cane sugar about 22 per cent. The
price of the cotton crop of 1912 has
gained about 25 per cent over that of
1911. The gain in price for the rice
crop is nearly 13 per cent, and for the
tobacco crop 7 1-2 per cent. Butter has
increased 11 per cent, and milk'nearly
5 per cent. Eggs have gained 16 per
cent, and poultry about 1 per cent.

FARM WEALTH PRODUCED
THIS YEAR $9,532,000,000
From the report of Secretary of Agriculture \\ ilson to the
president:
The most effective move toward the reducing of the high
cost of living is the production of greater crops.
This has been the most productive of all agricultural years in
th, ountry. •
Based on the census of wealth production on farms, the
grand total for 1912 is estimated at $9,532,000,000 —more than
twice the amount of wealth produced on farms in 1899.
During the past sixteen years the weallh production on
farms, according to census items, has reached the grand total
of more than $105,000.000,00rt.
The farmer is no longer the joke of the caricaturist. There
has been an uplift of agriculture and country life.
Estimated value of 1912 crops—Corn, $1,759,000,000; Hay,
$861,000,000; Cotton, $60,000,000; Barley, $125,000,000; Tobac

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B NEVIN.
Judge Newt Morrjs, of the Blue Ridge
circuit, w ho is nearing the end of his
official term of office, is an Atlanta
OR
visitor.
The recent po
litical reverses
sustained by the
judge sit lightly
upon him at,
least, if they do
not. there is noth
ing in his de
meanor to indi
cate otherwise.
He played the
game strenuously
enough while he
was playing it—
as all players in
the Blue Ridge
must, of course —
but now that he is
about to give way
for another who
played it even a little bit better and
more successfully, the judge is not at
all bitter or seemingly cast down.
“I have been hunting a good deal of
late,” said the judge today, "and'if Ido
say so myself, who shouldn’t, perhaps,
I am some bird hunter. Being a judge
—for a few weeks yet to come, anyway
—I observe strictly the law, which. In
ordinary circumstances of shooting in
my' section, puts me out of the running
in a day’s hunt long before the sun has
gone to rest, and frequently before the
dinner horn has sounded.
"The birds are very plentiful this
year, and this is due, in large measure,
to the excellent game laws we have
and the manner in which they are en
forced. If things go on for a few more
years as they have in the past one, I
think quail shooting will be wonder
fully improved, and we may' look for
ward to many morn years of the splen
did sport.” , -
Asked about polities, the judge said:
"I do not cate to discuSs politics. lam
not even thinking politics nowadays. 1
will enter actively into the practice of
lew in January, and I do not know that
I ever again shall be a candidate for
office."
Colonel “Bob" Davison, chairman of
the prison commission, has flamed up
a fine get-richsquick scheme, if he can
put it over.
He has capitalized a stock company,
inside the capitol, to put out a "Jeff
and Mutt" show, with "Joe” Terrell, of
the agricultural department, as “Mutt."
and "Bob" Gardner, of the prison com
mission, as “Jeff."
Each actor will fit into his role, all
right, and the scheme ought to be a
winner from the jump!
Pleasant A. Stovall, of The Savannah
Press, representative-elect from Chat
ham county, has a real, genuine, sure
enough boom on for a cabinet position
under President Wilson.
The following Georgia newspapers
actively have indorsed him and de
clared that they intend keeping up the
fight for him until he is landed safely
in a cabinet berth and entitled to meet
with the president of the United States
in Washington every Tuesday and Fri
day. for eonsultatipn‘and advice: The
Darien Gazette, The Athens Banner,
The Bainbridge Searchlight, The
Thomasville Press, The Dawson News.
The Vidalia Advance, The Waycross
Herald. The Statesboro News. The
Hawkinsville Dispatch. The Augusta
Chronicle, The Waynesboro True Citi
zen. The Dublin Courrier-Dispatch, The
Valdosta Times, The Americus Times-
Recorder, The Jackson Argus and The
Dalton Citizen.
This is an array of very influential
newspapers—not all of them from
south Georgia, moreover—and their
united backing not only is a great eofri
pliment to the Savannah editor and
statesman, but should get results.
The Augusta Chronicle, published in
a city that has suffered more, perhaps,
than any other city in the South dur
ing the past year, by reason of trou
bles of one sort and another between
capital and labor, is very much of an
advocate of a compulsory arbitration
law tn Georgia, and expresses the ar
dent hope that the next legislature will
provide one of an acceptable and work
able nature.
The Chronicle is by no means alone
in this suggestion, as other newspapers
|in the state, taking the late troubles
us texts. have placed themselves
squarely on record in favor of such
legislation.
It is difficult to frame a compulsory
arbitration law, of course —that is, such
a law as trill meet approximately the
approval of both capital and labor.
And yet it probably is a fact that a
majority of the people of Georgia would
like t<> sue such a law bn the statute
books, and the statesman who succeeds
in getting it there likely will win a
measure of enviable fame.
Congressman William G. Brantley, of
the Eleventh district, will be the guest
of honor at the annual dinner of the
Atlanta Bar association tonight, at the
Cafe’ Durand.
Mr. Brantley will address the asso
ciation on the subject of workingmen’s
compensation legislation, and will par
ticularly analyze that now pending in
congress.
Besides Mr. Brantley's address, James
D. Kilpatrick, of Atlanta, is on the
program for a short talk upon a topic
not yet announced.
In addition to the members of the
Atlanta association, a number of invit
ed guests from points throughout the
state will be present.
The question of whether Judge Fite,
of the Cherokee circuit, is fighting again
or yet would seem to be raised in the
order of sentence he passed an the
negro McCullough, recently retried.
It was the previous two trials and
reversals of this ease that precipitated
the famous contempt rule, in which
Judge Fite was fined SSOO by the court
of appeals.
In the order of resentence —to eight,
instead of twenty years, as the sentence
heretofore had stood —the following re
markable language appears of record
in the court:
“The defendant has been hereto
fore twice convicted in this case,
and the court of appeals having
granted two new trials therein on
. misconceptions of the records, and
on more technicalities which did
not affect the merits of the case,
♦ # #
This final record likely closes the
Fite incident, it is interesting in that
there probably is not, anywhere in the
records of sentences tn Georgia, similar
language to be found.

The first damage suit brought from
the recent wreck on the Southern rail
road near Cornelia, for which Ed Ren
froe, of Atlanta, and Tom Tankersley,
of Spring Place, are held under charges,
was filed today in Clarkesville by J. A.
Zachary, an Atlanta railway mail
clerk.
Asserting that he was pinned under a
three-ton mail case for two hours, suf
fering untold agony, before he was

through his attorney, Edgar Latham,
for $3,000.
It is understood that Mrs. Costner,

that Ret/'roe was a close friend of her
husband. Renfroe had boarded with
the Costners while in Atlanta and had
left their home only a day or so before
the w reck occurred.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7. —Tears marked
the wedding at Clayton of a sixteen
year-old girl and a boy of the same
age. The child-bride cried from the
time the marriage license was issued
until she took a street car for union
station to return to her home. At times
