THE ATLANTA fiEORfiTAN AND NEWH. L CREDITS INDORSED Bf PRESIDENT Wilson Says Next Task Ahead of Him and Congress Is to Give Aid to Farmers. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—The fol lowing: statement was issued at the ^ hite House to-day embodying the v^ws of President Wilson on rural credits: Again and again during the dis cussion of the currency bill it has been urged tha* special provision should be mad** in it for the facilitat ing of credits of the farmers of the country who stand in need of agri cultural credits as distinguished from ordinary commercial and industrial credits. Such proposals were not adopted because such credits could only be Imperfectly provided for in i j such a measure. The scope and char acter of the bill. Its Immediate and chief purpose could not he made to reach as far as the special interests of the farmer requires. "Special machinery of a distinct system of banking must be provided for if rural credits are to be success- V fully and adequately supplied. A Gov ernment commission is now in Europe studying the interesting and highly successful methods which have been employed in several countries of the Old World and its report will be made to Congress at its regular ses sion next winter. It is confidently to be expected that the Congress will at that session act upon the recom mendations cf that report and es tablish a complete and adequate sys tem of rural credits. Nation's Welfare Involved. "There is no subject more impor tant to the welfare and Industrial de velopment of the United States; there is no form in which I would myself seek a greater honor or privilege to take part because I should feel that it was a service to the whole country of the first magnitude and signifi cance. It should have accompanied and gone hand and hand with reform of our banking and currency system if we had been ready to act wisely and with full knowledge of what we were about. "There has been too little Federal legislation framed to serve the farm er directly and with a deliberate ad justment to his Teal needs. We long ago fell into the habit of assuming that the farmers of America enjoyed such an immense natural advantage over the farmers of the rest of the world: were so Intelligent and enter- • prising and so at ease upon the in- \ comparable soils of oun great contl- I nent that they could feed the world ' and prosper no matter what handicap they carried, no matter what disad vantage, whether of the law or of nat ural circumstances they labored un der. We have not exaggerated their capacity or opportunity, but we have v neglected to analyze the burdensome disadvantages from which they were . suffering, and have too often failed *o renew them when we did see what they were. One of the chief and most serious of these disadvantages has been that he had not been able to se cure the extended bank accommoda tions he every year stands in need of without paying the most burdensome rates of Interest and saddling himself with mortgages and obligations of every kind which he fairly staggered under, if he could carry them at all. Effects in Other Countries. "In other countri s systems of ru ral credit have been put into opera tion which not only have relieved the farmer, but have put his enterprises upon a footing of easy accomplish ment. Countries in which agricul ture was steadi 1 ** ’anguishing because wholly unprofitable have seen their farming lands blossom again and their people turn once more hopeful ly to the soil for a llvlhg. Our farm ers must have similar means afforded them of handling their financial needs easilv and inexpensively. They should he furnished these facilities before their enterprises languish not after ward. "And they will be. This Is our next task and duty. Not only is a Gov- 1 ernment commission about to report, which is charged with advising the Congress of the best methods yet em ployed in this matter, but the Depart ment of Agriculture has undertaken a serious and systematic study of the whole problem of rural credits. The Congress and the Executive, working together, will certainly afford the .. needed machinery of relief and pros perity to the people of the country side, and that very soon." Wife of Umprie in . Faint as Angry Fans Threaten Husband LOUISVILLE. KY . Aug. IS —Mrs. James Murray, wife of the American Association umpire, was under the care of a physician to-day as the result of a nervous shock caused by witnessing an attack on her husband by infuri ated baseball fans During the game between Milwaukee and Louisville yes- terday.UmJire Muray gave Milwaukee the benefit of a close decision.

In winning the "Booster Button" Beauty Contest she becomes the spon sor of the 600,000 Booster Club, and her face will adorn the lapel buttons with this catchy slogan: “Watch Atlanta—She’ll get you yet. 500,000 by 1920.’’ When the voting ended Tuesday, this popular young society girl had a total of 18,340 votes, a good margin over her nearest competitor. Though decidedly the choice of Georgian and American readers, she did not win without a contest, and her permanent lead was never assured until the last days of the campaign. Her admirers were constant, though, and after her picture appeared as a nominee a steady stream of votes for her flowed in. Winner a Piquant Brunette. Miss Hurst is a striking type of a vivacious brunette. Her face scintil lates smiles of good cheer. There were all types of beauty in the contest—perfect blondes' with cerulean blue eyes, anburn-haired girls with pink cheeks, girls with dark brown hair and big dreamy blue eyes, and various shades of brunettes. But the smiling face must have fit the slogan for a "Half Million City” bet ter than any, for she got the most votes. An order for the booster buttons immediately will be placed. Though Miss Hurst is sponsor for the club, she will lose her identity on the but tons. except as she is remembered as the girl. And, of course, everybody will remember that.

CULBERSON ILL; TARIFF IN PERIL Loss of Texas Senator’s Vote j Would Put Wilson's Reform Bill in Danger. WASHINGTON, Auk. 13.—News of the serious Illness of Senator Culber son, of Texas, to-day discounted the feeling of relief among Democratic leaders occasioned by the announce ment of the appointment by Govern or O’Neal, of Alabama, of Represeri- tive Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, to the vacancy caused by the death of Sen ator Johnston. Senator Culberson is reported in a serious condition in a Connecticut sanitarium and, although the anxiety felt by majority leaders concerning the vote on the tariff bill was much relieved by the news of Mr. Clayton’s appointment, the fact that possible death or enforced absence of Sena tor Culberson will throw the vote back to the same alignment as that obtaining before Mr. Clayton’s ap pointment is causing much concern. Before Senator Johnston's death the vote on the tariff bill stood 49 to 47 in favor of the measure. His death reduced the Democratic majority to one. Thus no tie would obtain and the dependable Democratic vote of the Vice President could not in any event come in to play. The chang ing of one vote would shift the ma jority to the Republicans. With the appointment of Mr. Clayton as a Sen ator ad interim, the Democratic vote of 49 is restored. Culberson has not attended the ex tra session of Congress on account of his health. ILLNESS HALTS COURT. GRIFFIN, Aug. 13.—On account of the illness of Judge R. E.

Moon, of Appling County, and Walter E. Steed, of Taylor County, as members of the State Board of Education.

On recommendation of Governor Slaton, Moon and Steed will serve four years each, dating from Septem ber 5, 1913. The appointments of the Governor confirmed by the Senate are as fol lows: E. H.

Persistent rumor that Judge L. S. Roan, of the Stone Mountain circuit, is slated for the judgeship in the newly created Superior Court o£ Ful ton County has created a stir among members of the Atlanta bar, some of whom have protested to the Governor it is understood, that an Atlanta at torney should receive the honor. Thus far the Governor has given no indication of the probable ap pointee. but the general opinion pre vails that Judge Roan will b e the man. While Atlanta lawyers are loud in their praise of Judge Roan and his recognized abilities, they insist that the new Fulton County judgeship should be awarded to a Fulton Coun ty man. The petition which has been drawn *by the members of the Atlanta bar in substance sets forth this con tention and protests the appointment of any other than a Fulton County man as a reflection on the Atlanta be.r. In anticipation of the appointment of Judg f . Roan candidates for posi tions which will be affected by the transfer are also showing marked ac tivity. Charles S. Reid, of Palmetto. Solicitor General of the Stone Moun tain circuit, It is said, will succeed Judge Roan on the bench.
