TO BE GIVEN BY
Mr. Price said
“The boy farmers not only have
increased the value of our corn crop
more than $100,000 which isn’t so
very much, in dollars and cents, per
haps but they' have done an infinite
ly greater w ork in inspiring our farm
ers generally to attempt improved
methods, with the result that land
which two years ago was producing
fi' • an acre* is now producing com
values in excess of $100.
“What does this mean to Georgia?
Simply that Its banks are. now prac
tically overflowing with funds,
whereas a year ago money < ould not
l>» obtained on collateral of the most
gilt-edged variety, due purely to the
fact that lh« re was none on deposit.
What is true of Georgia is true in a
measure* *<f all other Southern States
“The Federal Department of Agri
culture has not confined Its efforts to
helping raise corn. It has shown us
the broad advantage to be obtained
through a diversification of crops,
and has instilled into the minds of
our farmers the fact that they should
not sell their grain, but feed It to
stock. To demonstrate this, the Fed
eral department is now organizing pig
clubs, i^nd buyers from the (’hicaec
packing bouses are touring the South
to purchase cattle.
“Cotton, of course, is still our sta
ple, and while the Georgia cotton
crop this year will be worth $175,000,-
000, our corn crop will be worth at
least $100,000,000, and, besides, we
will have a heavy hay crop and large
Ottu r gr ii in**. Aa 1 he Ifll
cultural representative of tho State,
I am urging the people to study and
to follow the methods taught by the
Federal Department of Agriculture,
and we are now working hand in hand
with It.
‘‘Too high praise can not be given
this great national department for the
work it is doing to benefit the farm
ers of the South and nation.”
Hur" makes its strongest bid for glory
•—-the production is rather fine. There
are ingenious i-ontrlvan ‘ to bring
about certain startling effects, as In
the instance of the shipwreck scene
and the chariot race There ire en
sembles. particularly toward the last
of the play, which < reate the impres
sion of something like grandeur of the
stirring, inspiring sort. Tier* are the
two scenes, for Instance, at the very
last, one showing the awful Vale of
Hinnom, to which lepers are con
signed. and the other revealing Mount
Olivet and its great crowd waiting
to meet the Messiah.
Suggestion Does Much.
Both these wa nes have tb.it qualify
of grandeur. It must he admitted,
however, that the offert is product !
as much by suggestion as by visuali
sation. In these two last scenes, too,
there Is a dramatic power that is Im
pelling
Concerning “Ben-'Hur” as « plav,
however, it Is to be questioned wheth
er too many long, exacting explana
tory speeches and t<><> much turbulent
acting make anything for the com
fort of the audience. Dew Wallace’s
novel, however, you naturally would
expect to lend Itself to a forced, high-
tension drama.
Tho acting of Its kind was good.
Thomas Holding, playing tho part of
Bon-Hur. was admirably adapted to
that heroic part, by reason of per
sonal appearance, voice and ability f o
act well His enunciation was per
fect. That is considerably to h1s cred
it, when you consider that he hardly
spoke a ilne during the this* hours
and a half that whs not Impassioned
and full of fire.
Cast Is Strong.
And os much can not be said of all
the cast.
Virginia HnWell wjls a sufficiently
effective Iras and interpreted tho
character satisfactorily. However,
the chara* ter, to begin with, Is rath
er Impossible. Still that criticism
mtghrt. apply to several of General
Wallace's creations
Arthur Ltnden as Messale, Walter
Rherwin as Simonides, Roberta Bren
nan as Esther are to be accorded a
word or two for their work.
“Ben-Hur” will be at tbe Atlanta
nil the week, with matinees Wednes
day and Saturday. The performances

2 o’clock at the matinees
Congressman Dudley M Hughes, of
the Twelfth District, who spent a few
hours in Atlanta recently on his way
to Washington, believes the present
session of Congress the first regular
session of the same is likely to run
well along to July before adjourn
ment.
Mr. Hughes expects currency legis
lation to lx* effected eventually, much
after the fashion desired by the Pres
ident and his close advisers, but ho
does not expect it to come precipi
tately.
There is a very great deal of hon
est difference of opinion in Congress,
so Mr. Hughes thinks, with regard
to currency legislation, and these
differences will have to lie thrashed
out thoroughly and with due consid
eration for everybody, and that will
take time.
Just what direction the anti-trust
campaign will take the Congressman
from the Twelfth hardly seemed able
to predict. He expects the Admin
istration 1 o he very vigorous, if not
actually radical, in that direction,
but progress will be necessarily slow,
nevertheless.
There ha a been some talk of oppo
sition to Mr. Hughes in the Twelfth,
but apparently the suggestion is not
worrying the Congressman particu
larly. He says he intends remaining
at his post of duty in Washington,
doing the best he knows how for his
constituents, and will cross no re-
election • bridges before he gets ro
them.

Blease is to have a ’walk-over’ In

in the press here and there of late,”

of his career getting elected over the

“Bless*' has a large following in
South Carolina, and he has been able
to hold 1t together mighty well, but It
alone can not elect him. It must be
skillfully combined with other ele

Blease ha* rather overdone the
thing, too, of late—particularly in the
matter of pardoning red-handed crim

them loose on the State Thousands
of the best people of the Palmetto
State are determined that Blease shall
not misrepresent it in the highest
position within the gift of the people
“Blease has managed to bluff Ills
way along In large measure so far,
but his bluffing days are over. South
Carolina Is nearing the end of Blease-

ator ever elected to Congress from
South Carolina, but he is going hack

The pi *y tells a story of life in the
South of 1837. Lisa, the white sieve,
is regarded as an octoroon, although
she really is the legitimate daughter
of i wealthy plantation owner. The
poor creature is beset by as many
tribulations as a writer of melodrama
could concoct, but all ends well.
Lillian la'e Anderson was a suffi
ciently pathetic Lisa, and Leo A. Ken-
nedy. us Clay Britton, her hero-lover,
supplemented her work capably. The
cast altogether was vs ell balanced.
