F. Garlington, Samuel L. Olive and
Charles A. Picquet. Messrs. Oarllng
ton and Picquet say they are ns yet
undecided as to whether they will run

T. Ingram, a popular young attorney,
who Was admitted to the bar seve
ral months ago.
Text Book Questions.
Mr. Samuel F. Garlington. who has
not decided as to what his future
course will be, says that he expects the
biggest questiori before the legislature
will be the text matter. Mr.
Garlington thinks- that there will he
the strongest kind of pressure brought
to bear to have the state print Its own
school biKiks. instead of purchasing
them from publishers. One of the ar
guments in favor of the state publish
ing its own books is said to be found
in a comparison of the cost of books
to Canadian school children with
Georgia school children. The book that
costs three cents in Canada costs
twenty-five cents in Georgia under
the present system, say advocates of
the state publishing its own books.
W. & A. Railroad.
Mr. Olive, when asked for a state
ment, said:
"By far the most important matte”
to be handled at the coming session
is the lease of the \V. & A. railroad.

IS WML LAW
Tells Delegation That Until
Revolution is Over, There’ll
Be No Election in Chihuahua.
Chihuahua, Mexico. —Proposals for
an election for officers of Chihuahau
state recently put to Gen. Villa by a
delegation of citizens were met by
Villa's declaration, it was announced
today, that until the revolution was
over the government must be military.
“Any election which might be held
now would necessarily be a military
election, which is one of the very
very things we are fighting against,"
Gen. Villa told the delegation.
The public for the present seems in
different as to the form of government
which will come after the revolution,
the successor which is expected by
residents of Chihuahua.
Gen Villa's word is law now. He is
the legislative, executive and Judicial
departments of government. He lives
In a mansion confiscated from an ex
iled aristocrat. He wears a wide brim
med soft hat and a blanket, like that
of any peon, except that it Is of rich
texture.
From granting permission for beg
gars to solicit in the streets to Import

Charges Against O’Neal
Montgomery, Ala.—A special ses
sion of the county grand jury “for
such service as the court may bring
to their attention ’ was called for
Tuesday, Marcli 24th, today by Judge

no specific mention of the demand
made last night by Gov. Emmet
O'Neal for a complete grand jury in
vestigation into charges made against
the executive by Theo. Eacey, former
official of the state convict depart
ment. Governor O’Neal today reiter
ated his decision that these charges

ward a thorough investigation.
Battle With Bandit in
Box Car; Had Dynamite
Corona, Calif,—A railroad watchman
and a bandit were killed and two po
licemen were wounded t oday in a
series of battles that occurred after
the outlaw was discovered in a box
car on the Atchison, Topeka and San
ta Fe Railroad. In the pockets of the
bandit, thought to have been Samuel
Morle, were 23 sticks of dynamite.
When he was ordered out of the car
by Geo. W. the watchman, he
began firing and Laporte fell dead.
Morle later was overtaken by two
policemen and riddled with bullets,
but not until he had wounded both of
the officers.
Bill Provides South
With 14 Fish Hatcheries
Washington.—Fourteen fish hatch
eries to be located in sections of the
country including the mountains of
northwestern North Carolina and
Florida, on sites to be selected by the
secretary of commerce were provided
for todav in a bill introduced by Rep
resentative Faison of N>rth Carolina.
It Included a provision for establish
ment of a station on Chesapeake Bay
in Maryland for study of fish disease
and problems of fish propagation.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
ed by the state, exclusive of railroad
proper property, ought to yield a large
revenue to the state. This matter will
consume a good portion of the ses
sion. Then there are some criminal
statutes and prison reform laws which
are of generul importance.
"There is some talk of woman’s suf
frage. Georgia will probably be the
last state to adopt it; but even at that
I believe it is coming inside of ten
years. The entire West now has wom
an's suffrage in one form or another
and this fact will eventually drive all
the great national parties to its sup
port.
“Several Augusta merchants have
claims against the state. This matter
was not brought to my attention till
after the adjournment of the legisla
ture. I will try to look after that next
session, us I am on the appropriations
committee.”
Tax Equalization.
Asked about whether he would be a
candidate or not Mr. Picquet said that
he had not decided what he would do.
"There is plenty of time." he said, “In
which to decide the question."
I'iscussing matters which will come
before the next session of the Georgia
solons, Mr. Picquet predicted that
there would be a hard fight on the
tax equalization measure which was
passed last summer.
As is well known, Mr. Picquet is an
anti-prohibltionist and he makes no
secret of the fact that he hopes the
legislature will vote for Georgia to be
wet again. He says that the whiskey
people would be willing to pay SI,OOO
per year license, instead of S3OO, and
would be willing to have the traffic
so regulated as not to allow whiskey
sold In counties with towns under 10,-
000 to 15,000 population.
FIRST LESSON IN
AGRICULTURE GIVEN
50 Boys, Students of Paine
College, Shown Through N. L.
Willet Seed Company.
At the request of the head gardener
of the Paine College, fifty boys were
shown yesterday through the store and
warehouse of N. L. Willet Seed Com
pany. It proved an interesting trip
for them and gave them a good lesson
in agriculture.
They first visited the retail depart
ment, where some 950 seed bins against
the wall hold seeds in small amounts.
Next came the department where five
cent seed packages are put up. Next
came the poultry department—incu
bators, brooders, etc., and next the
dairy department, where bottle caps,
etc., are kept.
In the rear of the store they found
the wholesale shipping department for
garden seeds—some going by freight
and some by express and some now
by postal package—s pounds now In a
50 mile radius for 9c; 25 pounds for
29e. and 60 pounds for 54c.
They next wont to the warehouse
out on the railroad track, where they
saw cotton seed ear lots being unload
ed, sacked in 100-Ib. sacks and reload
ed into cars for the southwest, at an
other door. Mr. Charlie Bignon, who
keeps one of the nicest and most
methodical warehouses in Augusta,
showed them through the warehouse,
with its piles and piles of heavy farm
seeds and forage seeds.
It was a lesson in seeds—good seeds
and diversified crops as opposed to
scrub Reeds—that tho boys will not
soon forget.
