The leginlature convened in ex
tra aeaaion in Atlanta Tuesday.;
No other subject except the eon t
virt question will be considered,
but the call for the extra aeaalon i
is so worded a* to enable tie* leg
iwlature to go into that question
in ail its details, including the
raising of revenue for the care
and maintenance of the convicts,
and any constitutional amend
ment that the legislature may
see tit t« cna t in that connection.

A general review of the
present crop situation, issued by
the Bureau of Statistics of the
Agricultural Department shows
that the condition of the entire
country is somewhat better than
a year ago. but slightly below
the average for the past Un
year- for this season. In the
South Atlantic Slates the con
dition is four per cent better
than hist year and five per cent
above the average for eleven
years.

Governor Smith and (’omptrol
lei General Wright have fixed
the State tax rate nt five mills, or
five dollars for each thousand
worth of property, for all state
purposes for the year 11M»H. The
rate corresponds with the rale
last year. While the taxable
value of the property in the atale
shows a substantiiil gain of ap
proximately wvni million dollars
the increased appropriations by
tlie legislature will more than
offset this increase, and it was
therefore impossible to make any
reduction in the rate.

What the Farmers' Union has Done
Claiming that the Farmers’
Edtmation«l and Co operative Un
ion of America, with hundreds of
thousands of members, it is said,
hns become an important factor
in the cotton industry, its Euro
pi in r' prc.«>.ntntiye. Mr. Mauri
ce Greville. sailed on Satuday to
carry'>n its agency in Liverpool
and Manchester, says the Car
tersville News.
Mr. Greville has been travel
ing since May in the cotton grow
ing stales of the south. He has
visited the branch organizations
i/f the Cotton Union in each cot
ton state, inspected the crops,
made personal inquiries of the
growers and acquainted himself
with the actual conditions of the
present sc ison’s crop.
Interviewed by a representa
tive of tii<- Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin before
bis departure Mr. Greville ex
ore.Nsed very decided opinions
that the objects and worth of the
Farmers’l!nion are as yet com
paratively little known and ap
preciated. The rapid growth of
the.movement for which the un
ion stands he considers remark
able.
“Beginning little more than
two or three years ago,” he said,
' "the union has grown to such
; strength that it has been able to
j found a city of its own, and has
j been instumental in buildingcot
i ton storage wt rehouses, which
are a new feature of the south
ern cotton states, in connection
j with the better collection and
! dist ribution of the product. Un
' ion city, the embodiment of the
i union's ideas, is 21 miles from
i Atlanta Ga. Though only six
months old, it has received re
cognition by having two railway
stations given to it, while its post
office has already a very large
mail delivery to handle in pro
portion to the town’s size and re
cent birth.
u Aa an instance of the effective
practical work of the union, the
ware houses built or promoted
by the union in the cotton states
have very much remedied the
i a ist'-ful and disorderly state of
■ things noticeable in the streets
of Memphis and ifi towns and
along the roads of the cotton dis
tricts, owing to ioose packing
land insufficient storehouses, the
: accommodation two years ago
: being insufficient to such an ex
) tent that the cotton lay in the
I streets unsheltered and liable to
deterioration. Now, owing to
: the union’s action, warehouses
, leave been put up in every one of
I the cotton states. In Arkansas
alone there are S(5, and in the »g
--' gregiite they number more than
| 'ibO, representing an outlay of
i from $lO OtK) to sso,tkX.) a piece.
“In order to further the inter
iests of its members and that the
! whole Farmers’ Union may be
i represented as a responsible
i business organization a company
I known as the Farmers’ Union
[Cotton Co,, was formed and in
(•orporated at Memphis, Tenn.,
some 12 months ago to carry out
contracts, trade with the domes
■ tie anti foreign buyers of cotton
and all incidental business, such
]as the Collection of information
about crops, acreage and the in
dustry generally from its mem
J l»ers and agents. This company
is officially recognized by the un
ion as its representative.
"The purp. se of the union."
Mr. Greviilo was of pains to ex
p'ain. “is merely one of self-pro
tedion forth? farmers' interests.
The idea is that the farmers
j should open out a market for
themselves. They wish to be in
dependent dispensers of the raw
material, not to cut out the mid
dleman. as they are not antagon
istic to bona tide traders, but
w isb to have h say in the price of
selling cotton. By growing cot
ton for spinners direct they hope
to check those conditions which
have been injurious to the trade
arising from gambling in fu-

Summerville responded with en-
• cou raging reports of the work of
their respective auxiliaries.
Mrs. W. P. Lovejoy and Miss
■ MaryWikieof Cartersville occu
pied proininet places on the pro
gram and from time to time gave
most helpful and instructive talks
on the different phases of the
Woman’s Missionary work. Miss
Wikle had a number of maps and
i pictures showing the location of
the work in the foreign fields and
i of the workers supported by the
i women of Southern Methodism.
There are mission stations and
missionary workers in China.
Brazil, Korea. Mexico and Cuba
supported by the women. For
the support of these missionaries
and for the extension of the mis
sion work the women of tlie North
Georgia Conference have pledged
themselves to raise $20,000 for
the ensuing year, this amount to
be paid outside of the regular
auxiliary dues. Nine new’ mis
sionaries go out from Scarritt
Biliie and Training School in
Kansas City, Mo., this fall to take
the places assigned to them in
the foreign field.
Very interesting papers on
■ tithing were read ay Mrs. Ix>ve
joy and Mrs. Sain Shaw.
The annual sermon was preach
ed on Sunday morning by Dr.
Robins, pastor of first church,
Rome, Ga.
On Sunday afternoon Miss
Wikle held a meeting for yonng
people at which time she made a
most interesting address on the
lines of mission work and
brought forcibly to the minds of
the young people the needs of
the foreign fields. At the close
of this address a Juvenile mis
sion Society was organized by
Mrs. Lovejoy with Bessie Allen
as president.
The meeting was considered a
very successful and interesting
one, and by the vote of the con
ference the meeting will be held
next year in Cartersville.
It is queer, but people who are
always wanting to be the whole
thing, are never witting to half
try.

Mrs. ELIZABETH H. MARTIN,
332 Bowen Avenue, Chicago, 111.,
Chaplain Garfield Circle, writes:
“Peruna has been a blessing to our
family for a good many years, as we
have all used it oft and on for colds and
catarrh, and I have given it to all of my
children with the best of results.
"I found that a cold left me with
catarrh of the head in a very bad form.
My head was stopped up, I had frontal
headaches, my eyes bothered me, and
there was a nasty dropping In my
throat which nauseated me and made
it impossible many times for me to eat
my breakfast.
“As soon as I began to use Peruna I
found It relieved me, my head soon
cleared up and in a remarkably short
time I was rid of catarrh.
“I can, therefore, give my personal
experience with your valuable medi
cine, and am pleased to do so.”

medicines can now secure Peruna tab
