Macon News: The eotton leak In the federal agricultural depart¬ ments lias resulted in tlie intro¬ duction of a bill by Congressman Burleson, of Texas, prescribing a penalty for those who tiaftlc in In¬ formation which comes to them by virtue of their positions in the government.

This would also indicate that the cotton seed meal ma i ifa* turers want to reap a rum har¬ vest over the present prosperity of the cotton farmers. It is a fact that the Cotton Growers Association ilirongh its organization has shown to the world that ail the farmers need is concerted action fo get a just price for their produce. For years farmers have had others to place a price upon the' articles that they produce but tion now they are gening in a nosi to dictate prices to those who purchase their commodi¬ ties. 80 it would seem that or¬ ganization is the proper thing to bring about good results. It is the general opinion that Hon. Clark Howell met a com¬ plete Waterloo at Columbus in ( his debate with Hon. Hoke Smith. Clark did not discuss issues in the interest of the peo¬ ple, hut rather dwelt in person¬ alities against Hoke Smith and Torn Watson. But tlie after¬ math shows that Clark’s friends are now soi.ty that he spoke It was a great surprise to us that Clark would tackle, such an intellectual giant as Hake Smith, and when he did, to use ‘such Tlios. means E, |n Watson. referenceto Hop.
