Some Perceive Such Step in At
tempt to Move Experiment
Station From Griffin.
BY JAMES B. NEVIN
Some see In the proposed closing
of the poultry department at the
Experiment Station a step 1n the di
rection of removing tne entire Agri
cultural Experiment Station from
Griffin to Athene.
There is considerable complaint
manifested that the poultry depart
ment at the Experiment Station
should be closed. It Is not a highly
spectacular department of the State
to be sure, but it has been most
helpful and beneficial to a large num
ber of people. And these people fee!
aggrieved that It should have been
set aside for slaughter, when there
are other things that might be spar
ed. and with less loss to the State.
The point that is interesting in a
statewide way, however, is whether
the Agricultural Station fhatl be
moved from Griffin, where It was es
tablished in good faith several years
ago. upon conditions cheerfully com
piled with by Griffin.
The suspicion that there already is
a quiet movement on to take the
siation away from Griffin and locate
H at Athens Is one that will not down
In Georgia—and If the movement is
on. it is foolish to suppose that it
may be carried through without a
mighty protest.
Griffin is not going to see the Ex
periment Station moved to Athens,
if vehement and indignant opposition
can prevent it. And in tills situa
tion. it may be accepted ns a sure
.thing right now. a large and Influen
tial section of the incoming Legisla
ture will sympathise with Griffin. One
can heav it talked In the hotel lob
bies around Atlanta.
Coupled with It, moreover one
hears much more or less unpleasant
talk of too much polltlos, of one sort
and another, along with the general
comment. The disposition Is to
think that the Experiment Station is
a thing that should be kept free of
all suspicion of politics—and the de
velopment of the removal question
likely will bring about the kicking off
c*f more than one lid 1n the next
General Assembly
At least, that Is the line of talk
one hears from the lips of not a few
statesmen, who pass through the
capital nowaday*.

Thus far. there seem to be no

The ceremonies incident to the in

Slaton merely will be given the oath
of office, receive the great seal of
State from the hands of the retir
ing Governor, accept the congratu
lations and best wishes of the Gen

then retire to the Kxdbutlve office to
begin his term of sendee
N’ot many years back, inaugura

gr»at military display, and deliver

the Presidential style. Governor
Hoke Smith was the last Executive
to mark his Induction- into office
with much pomp Since his first
inauguration, however, the simpler
method has prevailed.
Now and then some rampant pa
triot hankers for the old order of
things—but there seems to be noth

Hugh Dorsey. Solicitor General of
the Atlanta Circuit, now more or less
in the limelight by way of the Phu-

Stealing Loaf Sugar
to Feed to Horses.
“It would be interesting to know
how many tons of loaf susra*- wro stolen
eaeh year from restaurants and
hotels to be fed to horses.” said the
manager of a lunch room yesterday.
“We used to let customers help
themselves from bowls each of which
held several pounds, but we found
that all our coffee profit and more was
stolen. Men would fill pockets and
women handbags and give It lump by
lump to horses in the street.. Some
women carry sugar from home to
give It to horses, but more steal it
from hotels and restaurants”

“instead of sticking the stamp by
a corner, so that I have to take a

the edges are gummed and the little
