FOR CATALOGUE WRITE G. HOLMAN GARDNER, PRINCIPAL. For Boys FARMERS’ UNION PLAN FOR 1907 CAMPAIGN PRESIDENT SA YS HE WILL SURELY SPEAK GEORGIA DA Y A TFAIR President Receives Jamestown Commis sion atWhite House, W. N. MITCHELL HAD INTERVIEW June 13 Will Be Georgia Day at Exposition, in Jamestown. "Speak on Georgia day at the Jamestown Exposition? Why, I'm bound to take part on that day, be cause I am half Georgian, you know. Nothing would give me more pleas ure." That Is the sent^nent In which Pres ident Roosevelt received President W. N.’ Mitchell, of the Georgia commission to the Jamestown Exposition, Inst Wed- ne^pJay morning. He was as enthusiastic about the proposition when It was suggested to him by President Mitchell as u school boy, and for over a half hour he dis cussed the matter and seemed loath for the Interview to terminate. It was last Wednesday morning at 11:10 o'clock that Mr. Mitchell called on the president and submitted the proposition for him to speak on the day at the big exposition set aside for the Empire State of the South. The president Is an old friend of Mr. Mitch ell, who knew him as a boy, and when Georgia, Georgia day. and Bulloch Hall, the old home of the president's mother, were mentioned. President .Roosevelt showed his delight at the plan. The president said that notl would give him more pleasure than to deliver an address on Georgia day from the reproduction of his mother's home. Nothing In his administration hod pleased him so much as the honor done his devoted mother by the decision of Georgia to reproduce her old home at the exposition. The president saw a group of callers waiting In the ante-room, but he was conversing upon a subject dear to his heart. Ho was interested and he showed It Id an enthusiastic manner. He was enthusiastic when he declared to Mr. Mitchell that he was half Geor gian, and he was deeply touched at the honor paid his mother by the Geor gia commission. He declared he was president of the whole country and not of any section or part. After the Interview Mr. Mitchell saw Hon. Harry 8t. George Tucker, presi dent of the Jamestown Exposition, and had the second week In June selected as the week In which Georgia day would be named. President Roosevelt salrl he would be at liberty at this time, and said further that either June 12, 13 or 14 would suit him. President Tucker was of the opinion that Ju" 12 had been set aside for Virgin! and then Mr. Mitchell asked that June 13 be named as Georgia day. Mr. Mitchell will make arrangements so that the governor of Virginia, his staff ami the Virginia national guard will remain over for Georgia day, and these, with the Georgia delegation, will make Georgia day one of the largest and most imposing of the exposition. BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS AS SHIP HIT ROCKS Directors and State Presidents Meet Here January 22. To the Members of the Farmers' Union: As president of your organisation. It la my desire to Interest every tueiulwr In the manner of our plan* for the approaching year, and to this end I hereby mil meetings, as follows: !. Of all local unions on Tuesday, Jan wary 5. 2. Of sll county and parish unions ou Tuesday, January 15. 3. Of all the national board of directors, •fed of sit state presidents for Tuesday, January 22. at l'» o'clock a. in.. In the capital building. Atlanta. On., nn<f to the latter meeting all metnbera Interested In the work of the organisation are Invited. The genera! purpose of these meetings Is to discuss matters affecting the welfare of our great organisation and to outline In a general way the plan of action to govern us during the ensuing yesr. In this work 1 am anxious to enlist the sympathy and sup port of every member of the organisation, and to this end I, have called meetings of the local unions in order that the ni inent may start from the heart of the members themselves. So let every member assemble at his local meeting place on the date Indicated to dismiss the work, demand- considering arm ronnuiAiing our general plan of action for the next year. The year Just ending lias been the most successful In the history of our association. Its membership has shown a phenomenal Increase In every direction, and It Is nor generally conceded by nil that to thj Farmers' Union stand for ll-ecnt cotton li due more than anything else the fact that up to this time the average selling price of cotton lias I wen far III excess of 10 cents. Had our organisation s(imh| for 10-ccut cot ton the price In nil probability would never hitro gone beyond that figure. As a result of the tincomproinlsltig and the loyal stand of the members of our or ganisation, and those who have worked with It we have seen the price of cotton exceed 11 cents several times during the seSNeii, while the average price of nil cot ton so far sold has gone beyond the limit of that we were asked to meet. There Is nothing III this world as effective as organisation with every brunch of lutlut*- try or commerce organised to purchase thc| Ide. jiroduct of the farmer as cheaply as possl ole. It Is more than ever Incumbent upon the growers of those product* to organise In order that they may sell these products at fair und Just rules. The farmers are beginning to realise this now as never before, and the result of their cooperative effort along this line Is being told along ovary farm house In America. Ho let us all Join for our local, county nml parish, and our nntloual meetings for 1!. M. BARRETT, President.

The Lutso lies In an easy position, and the German cruiser Bremen and the French training ship Duguay-Trou- In, which were In the harbor, today were trying to pull her off. When the vessel struck and the pas sengers poured out of their cabins In panic, Captain Brunswig shouted to them that there was no danger. Then he walked from the bridge, entered his cabin and locked himself In. A few minutes Inter the first officer heard a pistol shot, and, forcing open the door, found the captain dead, with bullet in his brain. Captain Brunswig had been with the Hainburg-Atnerlcan line for two years.
