FARMERS MEET IN CONVENTION Georgia State Agricultural Society In Session At Quitman. THE RACE QUESTION COMES UP President Brown Declares Time Has Come For Parting With the Negro. The Georgia State Agricultural So ciety convened at Quitman last Wed nesday at 9 o’clock and it never had a warmer welcome. The cordiality of the reception and the interest of the proceedings left nothing to be desired. It was really a great convention of the stalwart and brainy men of the state gathered to discuss big questions worthy of the best thought of states men. The race question came to the front at once, and President Brown made an utterance which will wake up the country. His assertion that the white man and the negro are at the parting of the ways and we should aid the ne gro in his efforts to leave us, were loudly applauded. “Practical education” was discussed by Mr. Hoke Smith; “Marketing of Cotton,” by Major Hanson, by letter; and the “Relation of Agriculture to Manufactures,” by Mr. T. H. Martin. Mr. Smith’s address received mark ed attention. It is on a line which the state university is about to put in practice upon suggestions made by him. The annual address of President Pope Brown of the Georgia Agricult ural Society was an introduction to the program and referred in turn to the different topics of discussion, call ing attention to the eminence of the speakers and their fitness to handle the subjects assigned to them. He said the society’s proceedings had ceased to become a dumping ground for worthless junk. He spoke particularly of the sub jects to be discussed by Major J. F. Hanson, Mr. Hoke Smith, Mr. D. A. Tompkins and John Temple Graves, alluding also to the discussion of the round cotton bale. In speaking of the race question Mr. Brown was bold and unequivocal in declaring that the time had come for the patting of the ways between races and declared that the south should stop toadying to the north. On this subject Mr. Brown said: The Negro Problem. “The question of labor is one of particular interest to the farmer. In some sections of our state the hired help is almost exclusively the negro. The negro problem therefore is one in which the farmer is more directly in terested than any other class of our citizens. The relations between the farmer and the negro, as a rule, are friendly. The terrible crimes which force us to a consideration of this problem, whether we would or not, do not indicate the disposition of the ne gro as a race. As a rule, they are the most patient, best natured race of peo ple on earth. No man has more right to feel kindly toward the negro than I, and I can say in truth that no man enjoys their freedom to a greater ex tent than myself and my section, but the question is not between me and the negro. “It is between the white people of the south and the negroes of the south. Let alone there would be no trouble. The south haters of the north are at the bottom of all the trouble. “The leaders of the negro race say, ‘Let’s go home, this is not our home. ’ They are preaching discontent, and whether the scheme of colonization is practical or not. I am not prepared to say, but I do believe that it is to the interest of the people of ths south to aid and abet the negro in his efforts to leave. A few days ago when cer tain prominent citizens were called on by the press to say how we should protect our families against certain crimes there was a response that seem ed to meet the approval of the press. It was this: ‘Make a miniature arsenal of every southern home, teach wife and daughter how to shoot, allow wo men to carry concealed weapons,’ etc. “I say if it has come to that it is time for the parting of the ways. Shall we part in pence or strife? I would say peace, and let us stand not upon the cost. The idea is hooted at by some, but advocated by some of the best thinkers of both races.” Mr. Brown then referred to the fact that the race problem would be dis cussed by John Temple Graves, to whom he alluded as a gentleman of eloquence and one unmoved by politi cal considerations and noted for the purity and sincerity of his motives. * 4 Honor is Purchased by Deeds We Do.” ’Deeds, no! •words, count in bittits of peace as ’u>tll as in <war.

New Railroads Under Way. According to the Railway Age, the present year is likely to see a great re vival of railroad building. It estimates that 5,000 miles will be added to the mileage of the United States, which would be a greater record than that of any year since 1890. According to the Railway Age, the building of 5,000 miles means the in vestment of about $150,000,000 and the permanent employment of 25,000 men. Tables show that there are 500 new lines projected or under construction, with a total length of 40,563 miles. Os these lines less than 2,500 miles of rail road is in the New England or Middle States. In the Southwestern States there are 110 new roads under way with a length of 12,211 miles. The South Atlanic, Gulf and Mississippi Valley States have an equal mileage of new roads in prospect, the Central Northern and Northwestern States have nearly 9,000 miles projected, and more than 4,000 miles of railroads are to be built in the Pacific States. The 5,000 miles of new track to be built this year consists largely of ex tensions and links for the large West ern systems. With these additions the railroads in operation in the United States will be in the neighborhood of 192,000 long, of a total value of $12,- 500,000,000, and employing a million men in their operation.

A Calllarala Fann Telephone. Th® Salina® Valley Laud Company has a telephone system the line of which consists of the ordinary barbed wire that tfas already on the fences. It la about ten miles long. We use a good telephone Instrument. All the connections ar® made very close, and no wire is connected with the ground in any way, cither by hanging down or by touching any other wire that does reach the ground. In crossing roads and gates the pre ferable way is to have posts high enough to carry an overhead wire, but we took three-elghth-ineh iron water pipes and laid them under the gates and most of the roads and then ran a rubber-covered wire through them to connect with the barbed wire on each side, bending the ends of the pipe up at the sides of the gates or roads and then filling the ends up with putty to keep water out. This character of telephone line w 1 !! work just as well as any Insulated line in dry weather, but not at ail when it is raining, because then the current runs in the ground. As soon as the posts have time to dry off after a rain it is all right again. Such lines will work for any reasonable distance, say from one to 100 miles, but in States where it often rains they will not do well.—American Agriculturist. Americans and Shakespeare’s Will. General J. G.

So many of ’em handled the will that their fingers wore off the signatures on the bottom of the urst and second sheets, adn so we find ’em framed.’ ’’—New York Tribune.
