draught horses, chirps the Christian
Register, look up the new feed bag
which takes the place of the stifling
nose bag.
Two Dreadnoughts for the Argen
tine Republican are to be built in this
country. We can supply anything,
boasts the New York American from
clothespins to battleships.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
intend to carry forward and extend
the improvements in the diplomatic
service of the United States initiated
by President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root, declares the New York Times.
If the country is willing the new ex
ecutive order will in time become a
fixed law and upon it will be based a
permanent diplomatic system which
cannot fail to promote the interests of
the public in foreign lands more effec
tively than the uncertain methods
hitherto followed in diplomatic ap
pointments. Such a system would be
entirely free from the influence of
party politics. Meanwhile the improve
ments in the lower offices of the ser
vice will be beneficial on their own
account, and doubtless many young
men of good character and education
will be attracted to the diplomatic ca
reer.
”1 don’t think,” said the suburban
ite,” to the New York Tribune, “that
the poets who write so feelingly
about gardens ever had any personal
experience with one, or else they have
merely enjoyed gardens that other
people took care of. To read their
glowing dscriptions one would imagine
that a garden was a place of divine
repose, a refuge from the carking
cares of the world, a nirvana of con
tentment in which one’s higher in
stincts matured like flowers in the
gracious warmth of the sifn. The
reality is precisely the reverse. So far
from giving me peace, my garden wor
ries me by day and keeps me awake
at night. So far from expanding my
soul, it is bringing out malevolent in
stincts that I never knew I possessed.
Last summer my sweet peas failed,
for what reason heaven knows while
my neighbor had a magnificent crop.
I had always thought him a dear old
gentleman up to that time, but I im
mediately began to hate him, and ev
ery bunch of sweet peas that he sent
me increased my resentment. This
year the situation was reversed. I had
a beautiful crop of sweet peas and his
were a failure, and it was only when
I exhibited my blossoms to him and
saw his hungry eyes fixed on the new
variteies that I realized the depth of
vindictiveness to which gardening had
reduced me.”
Farmers in Kentucky have received
recently, notes the New York World,
the highest prices ever paid for to
bacco. The result is due chiefly to the
pools formed by the Kentucky farmers
to fight the American Tobacco com
pany and many other large manufac
turing concerns which for year's had
bought tobacco at practically their
own prices, leaving the farmer a bare
subsistence. The public remembers
chiefly the night-riding that in some
localities attended this movement but
as tobacco is raised on one hundred
thousand farms in Kentucky the per
centage of violence was small. The
movement has been attended by com
plete success and there Is probably
no other instance on so large a scale
in which farmers have banded togeth
er, have maintained their organization
and have compelled great corporations
to come to their terms. The result
would have been the same had there
been no niglit-ridlng. The Invaluable al
ly of the farmers was the country
storekeper, who in the first stages of
the light carried their accounts for as
much as two or three years. Kentucky
is now raising four hundred million
pounds of tobacco annually. Six or
seven years ago the average price paid
to the farmer was about seven cents;
now it is about 14 cents. The cost of
production lias not increased and the
additional seven cents is all gain.
FAIRBANKS IS HOME
Former Vice President Tells of
His Impressions of the Orient.
JAPAN FRIENDLY TO U. S.
Mr. Fairbanks Says That England Is Too Good
a Friend of America to Give Trouble
About the Chinese Railway.
New York City—Charles Warren
Fairbanks of Indianapolis, former vice
president of the United States, after
an absence of nearly a year on a
tour around the world, arrived in
New York.
The former vice president talked
freely. Peace with Japan was the
burden of his interview and by a
strange coincidence he reaches New
York in time to be an honored guest
with President Taft at a dinner ot
the American Peace and Arbitration
League.
“President Roosevelt’s administra
tion,” said Mr. Fairbanks, “greatly
strengthened the ties of good neigh
borhood between us and other powers
and President Taft is understood
abroad as in favor of a policy of in
ternational peace.
“Those who now and then fill the
air with unfounded rumors of possi
ble trouble between us and any for
eign power do not thereby advance
our world-wide interest or contribute
to national prestige.
“There is not the slightest ground,
in my opinion, for the suggestions
j which now and then obtains currency
to the effect that there is danger ot
war between the United States and
Japan, or with any other power."
“Japan has a respect and admira
tion lor the United States which is
genuine and undisguised. I have
this to be the feeling of the emperor,
and from the cabirffet down to men
in every walg of life. If there seems
to be any conflict of view with re
spect to Japanese and American
rights in Manchuria or elsewhere, It
does not follow that that means
grave difficulty.
“And what I have said with respect
to the United States and Japan may
be said with equal confidence with re
gard to the United States and Great
Britain,” said Mr. Fairbanks. “I do
not, of course, believe many well in
formed persons .think a conflict or
hitch in negotiations respecting the
proposed Chinese loan can lead to
grave consequences. If it is thought
Great Britain is moving somewhat
slowly in the matter, it should be re
membered that an acute political sit
uation exists in that country. Against
these conditions it is not at all
strange that there should be more
or less delay with respect to a par
ticular matter in which our govern,
ment is concerned.
Of sentiments in Germany and
France, Mr. Fairbanks said:
“Germany and France entertain for
the United States nothing. but senti
ments of good will. Emperor Wil
liam and President Fallieres, and the
responsible ministers of the two gov
ernments, lose no suitable opportunity
to emphasize this fact.
“In the other countries which 1
have visited the same generous re
gard for America prevails.”
Mr. Fairbanks said positively that
he would not discuss the incident of
the Vatican at Rome, withdrawing its
invitation for him to meet the pope.
He was visibly perturbed when the
matter was mentioned. “I have been
out of politics a year,” he said, “and
I do not intend to take any active
interest at least for some time to
come.”

CENSUS PROCAMLATION.
President Taft Issues an Address to the People
to Assist the Enumerators.
Washington, D. C.—President Taft
in a proclamation issued urges every
body throughout the United States
“to answer promptly, completely and
accurately all Inquiries addressed to
them by the enumerators or other
employees,” who will be engaged in
the taking of the thirteenth decen
nial census. The proclamation fol
lows;
“Whereas, by the act of congress
approved July 2, 1909, the thirteenth
decennial census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on April 15,
1910; and,
“Whereas, a correct enumeration of
the population every 10 years is re
quired by the constitution of the
United States for the purpose of de
termining the representation of the
several states in the house of repre
sentatives; and,
“Whereas, it is of the utmost im
portance to the interests of all the
people of the United States that this
census should be a complete and ac
curate report of the population and
resources of the country;
“Now, therefore, I, William Howard
Taft, president of the United States
of America, do hereby declare and
make known that, under the act afore
said, it is the duty of every person
to answer all questions on the census
schedule applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to
the farm occupied by him or his
family, and that any adult refusing
to do so is subject to penalty. „
“The sole purpose of the census
is to secure general statistical infor
mation regarding the population and
resources of the country, and replies
are required from individuals only in
order to permit the compilation of
such genera] statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation, with
army or jury service, with the com
pulsion of school attendance, with the
regulation of immigration, or with the
enforcement of any national, state or
local law or ordinance, nor can any
person be harmed in any way by fur
nishing the information required.
There need he no fear that any dis
closure will be made regarding any
individual person of the rights and
interests of the persons furnishing In
formation, every employee of the cen
sus bureau is prohibited, under heavy
penalty, from disclosing any informa
tion which may thus come to his
knowledge.
“I therefore, earnestly urge upon
all persons to answer promptly, com
pletely and accurately, all inquiries
addressed to them by the enumera
tors or other employees of the cen
sus bureau, and thereby to contribute
their share toward making this great
and necessary public undertaking a
success.
“In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
“Done at the City of Washington
this fifteenth day of March, A. D., one
thousand nine hundred and ten, and
of the independence of the Unit*
States of America the one hundred
and thirty-fourth.
“By the president:
(Seal) “WILLIAM H. TAFT.
“P. C. KNOX, Secretary of State.”
The proclamation is for the pur
pose of removing fears from the
minds of some people who are of the
opinion that information which they
give concerning themselves to ( the
census taker may be used in some
way to the detriment of their person
al or business interests. Against any
such abuse, however, the government
has thrown the strongest safeguards.

Eastern Arkansas, the dairy sec

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN.
Government Tells How to Destroy Peach
Brown Rot.
Washington, D. C.—A remedy for
the “peach brown rot,” which is re
cognized as a most destructive enemy
of stone fruits, is being advocated by
the department of agriculture, and a
bulletin describing remedy and meth
od of preparation has just been is
sued.
The peach brow rot is a fungous
disease, and it is widespread, and
very destructive to the peach crop.
The loss which it inflicts on peacn
growers will easily average $5,000,000
yearly. The loss to the peach crop of
Georgia alone is estimated at several
hundred thousand dollars a year.
v, vln . nas been done with a
viev. to discovering a satisfactory
remedy for this trouble. Spraying
with diluted Bordeaux mixture has
been most commonly recommended,
but its injury to the foilage has made
it unsatisfactory, since the remedy
must be applied during the growing
season.
The peach scab (often called
“black spot”) is another disease
which seriously effects the peacn
crop in all sections east of the Rocky
Mountains, although not causing suen
serious losses as brown rot.
As the result of experimental work
by the United States department of
agriculture a cheap and simple rem
edy for this disease has been round
in the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash.
This can be applied during the grow
ing season with very little danger ot
injuring the fruit or foilage, and it
is very effective. Furthermore, by
mixing arsenate of lead with the fun
gicide, the curcuilic can be destroyed
at the same time.
Georgia News in Paragraghs.
John D. Rockefeller has donated
$50,000 to the Georgia School of Tech
nology in Atlanta. The gift is condi
tioned upon the school raising an ad
ditional $25,000 in cash.
Representative Lee has introduced
in congress a bill to authorize the ad
jutant general of Georgia to reim
burse the military fund of the state
in the sum of $4,817.48 for expense
of transportation of a portion of the
state troops to and from the military
encampment at Chickamauga park,
held two years ago, out of govern
ment funds in the hands of the ad
jutant general.
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson sounded a warning note to
farmers and merchants when he de
clared that sufficient care is not being
exercised in the purchase of corn
that is shipped into this state. ‘We
have recently seized about 15 car
loads of damaged corn,” said Mr.
Hudson, “and there will be more of
it confiscated unless greater care is
used. We cannot allow the sale of
damaged corn in the state, for it is
a menace to the health and life of
people and live stock, and every
farmer and every merchant who buys
corn shipped into the state should
make careful observation to see that
it is not damaged.
The mayor and city council have
ordered a general spring cleaning for
Eatonton. An especial war is an
nounced on mosquitoes and flies and
Eatonton expects to begin the sum
mer months with a clean bill of
health, as there are each year quite
a large number of summer visitors
and boarders in the city. The ladies
as usual are among the leaders and
heartiest workers in the movement.
The farmers of Houston county
held a meeting at Perry to formulate
plans to govern a contest for premi
um acres of corn in the county this
season. They will offer three prizes
for first, second and third largest
yields of corn from the acre. The pre
mium fund amounts to S4OO, 50 per
cent to be offered for first prize, 30
per cent for the second prize and 20
per cent for the third prize.
Conservative, well-posted public
men estimate that the census returns
for 1910 will give Macon a popula
tion of not less than sixty thousand.
Within the last twa weeks more than
twenty thousand people have been
brought within the city limits by an
nexation, and about five thousand
more will be added if the East Ma
con election is carried. In 1900 the
population of Macon was given as
twenty-three thousand. It is certain
that the 1910 figures will show tuat
the city has more than doubled in
size in ten years.
A state commission of roads and
highways! A proposition completely
to reorganize the present county plan
of working the state’s prisoners on
the roads has been suggested by a
state official. With Georgia’s * five
thousand convicts, large camps
should be created for every group of
three counties in the state thorough
ly to work all the roads leading front
the county seats. These camps could
be maintained at far less cost than
small camps are now costing the
counts, it is pointed out. The roads
and highways commission could nit
out a system and plans for working
the thoroughfares in an intelligent
and systematic way. Work would be
going on all over the state at the
same time and in every county alike
and all working toward the same end
—building good roads on the main
highways.
“The peach crop is uninjured up
to date, said State Entomologist E
L. Worsham, in discussing the recent
fall in the temperature "Although
the peach blooms are rather far ad
vanced for this time of year on ac
count of the unusually warm Weather
they have not been injured by tl
cold wave that followed. The blooms
have been thoroughly dried out hv
the wind and the drop in the temper
ature did not affect them.”

Vegetable Compound
Brookfield, Mo.-“ Two years ago I
was unable to do any kind of work and

An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan’s Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well a3
temporary relief.
Here’s the Proof.
Mr. Jambs C. Lee, of 1100 9th St.,
8. E.,Washington, D.C., writes: “Thirty
years ago I fell from a scaffold and seri
ously injured my back. I suffered terri
bly at times ; from the small of my back
all around my stomach was just as if I
had been beaten with a club. X used
every plaster I could get with no relief.
Sloan’s Liniment took the pain right
out, and I.can now do as much ladder
work as any man in the shop, thanks to
Sloan’s
Liniment
Mr. J. P. Evans, of Mt. Airy, Ga.,
sayss “After being afflicted for three
years with rheumatism, I used Sloan’s
Liniment, and was cured sound and
well, and am glad to say I haven’t been
troubled with rheumatism since. My
leg was badly swollen from my hip to
my knee. One-balf a bottle took the
pain and swelling out.”
