Hon. J. B. Rountree, oP Boston,
Thomas county, was a visitor at the
rapitol Monday and called on Agri
cultural Commissioner Hudson.
Mr. Rountree has represented his
county In the legislature for several
years, but declined to enter the race for
the assembly of 1907-8. Ills particular
business with Commissioner Hudson
was relative to tho meat inspection
laws which go into effect January 1.
“We are raising lots of hogs In our
section of the country." he said. “For
Instance last year I handled 70,000
pounds of meat raised by farmers of
Thomas, Brooks and surrounding coun
ties. I shipped the bulk of this meat to
Florida, and we are building up a fine
business on this Georgia - raised
product.
“Under the new law <ve cannot ship
meat out of the state unless it lias the
government inspection tag on It.
farmer producing the meat can'ah Ip It
without the inspection, but u dealer
cannot. I guess the thing for us to do
Is to sell our incut In Georgia. I be
lieve we vitn do It.
“Fanners In my section .alne peanuts
by the acres and turn their hogs loose
in the fields. Peanuts are very line
food for them, and can be raised very
cheaply, one smalt farmer I know
raised 25,000 pounds of meat lust year.”
Mr. Rountree agrees with Commis
sioner Hudson In the statement that
farmers generally over the state are in
a had way this year. He attributes it
to adverse conditions for farming. In
creased cost of raising cotton, the labor
problem and failure of fanners to di
versify hi their crops. •
“Within the past few days Sea Island
or long staple cotton has gone from 25
to 35 crits per pound," so hi Mr. Roun
tree. “The crop Is short and the qual
ity of the stuplo poor. I bought four
hales from one man a few' days ago. I
paid him 27 cents a pound. Next day 1
sold It for 29, ami If I’d held It another
day could have hud C4.“

WITH END OF YEAR
Now that the first of the New Year
Is approaching, preparations are being
made by many of the wire houses, or
bucket shops, In Atlanta to close up
shop. In accordance with the new Boy
kin law, prohibiting the selling of fu
tures after January 1, 1007.
While most of those in charge of the
Atlanta houses admit that they will
take down their signs and silence the
telegruph tickers before that date, there
a few who look wise when ques
tinned, and say they are not prepared
to make any answer ut present as
their future Intentions.
Some have been advised that the law
is no good and will not stand a test in
the courts, and though some bucket
shop Backer* are inclined to keep open
shop and fight the law In the courts, n
announcement of any such Intention
hus yet been made.
Hardly a manager of one of these
houses cun be found who will admit his
house is a bucket shop. Hut it is an
easy task to find out whether or not hi.
Is a bucket shop by ascertaining what
outfit he represents, if Ids principals
are members of legitimate exchanges
In New York, Philadelphia or C’hlcug-
It may safely he deduced that Ids house

For those who need stock, cotton
