MAY ORGANIZE PERMANENTLY.
COMMISSIONERS OF AGRICULTURE
IN SESSION IN ATLANTA.

Governor welcomed Them on Behalf
of the state and Urged Them 90
Make Their Organization Perma-
nent-RespOnse by COMMISSIONS r
Jastremski of LOuisinna-Mem-
berShip of the Convention Under
Discussion.
Atlanta. Oct 2A-The Commissioners of
Agriculture of the Southern states ms
here in the Chamber of Commerce to-day
and Gov. Gambler welcomed them upon
the part Of the state and Mayor Wood
ward for the city.
The convention transacted no business
to-day beyond effecting temporary organi-
cation and appointing committees for per-
manent organization and bylaws and res
olutions.
Gov. Gambler, in his address of welcome,
seid that he had come to the convention
snatching a short time from the busiest
season in the year, making a sacrifice in
order 20 attend the first days session. He
said he regarded the movement one Of the
most important and vital Of any that could
have been started, for ne said there could
be no prosperity until there was prosperity
with the farmers from whom came all the
substance of the world and 10 whom the
balance of the world looked for food and
rainlent.
He spoke in high terms of the Farmers
Alliance, which was organized in Geor-
gia. He said that organization was a
good thing, and should have lived, and
would have lived had it not been for the
unfortunate fact that the organizat ton be-
came addicted to politics and that was
why it was destroyed
Gov. Gambler urged the commissioners to
perfect their organization and make it
something that would last,so that in future
years and for all time the members could
get together and talk about conditions and
thus get at the bottom of the situation
and learn the truth.
Hon. Leon Jastremski Of Loisana, who
was made temporary chairman of the con-
vention, responded to the address of well
come. Commissioner Jastremski was rep
resenting Gov. Foster of his state, who
vas on the programme to respond TO the
address of welcome, but who was pre-
vented from being present because of i'll
ness in his family. Commissioner Jas
tremshd stated that the Governor was
heart and soul in the work that has been
undertaken by the commissioners. and
that he would have been present if il had
been possible for him to have left his
home at this time.
There was a good deal OF discussion just
before adjournment as to whether or not
the membership should be limited to Com
mlssioners of Agriculture but the matter
was finally referred to the Committee on
Permanent Organization and Bylaws
and this report will be made tomorrow
The convention is the result of the work
of Commissioner Stevens of Georgia. who
has been the prime mover in the matter.
and who first conceived the idea of hold
ing it. He has been given their co-opera-
ton by all the other commissioners of the
Southern states, and the association is as
sured the honest support of all the heads
of departments.

GEORGIA's soLONs GATHERING.
Politicians in Atlanta for the Legis-
Iature's Opening.


Atlanta, oct. A.-The Legislature, az its
opening session tomorrow. will listen to
two documents that will be of great in
terest to the people of Georgia, the Gov
ernors message and the report Of the Tax
Commission
The main body of the solons came in to-
day, accompanied by the attendant throng
of politicians. The Governors office was
under state of seige all day. The Tax
Commission was in session till midnight
finishing up its report which Is very
lengthy and bulky
Solicitor General Osborne of Savannah IS
ore Of the conspicuous figures He is in
the city to wage war on the proposed
measure TO separate the office of solicitor
of the City Court of Savannah from that
OF solicitor general of the Eastern cir
cult
Gov. Gambler is overrun with applica-
tons for county and City Court judges and
solicitors places. There are about four
candidates for each place and they are
swarming around the Governor like bees.
Already two members of the present
House are mentioned as probable candi-
dates for speaker of the next House Hon.
John NJ. Slaton of Fulton and Hon. Thorn
as W. Hardwich of Washington. There is
also some talk that Hon. Porter King, eX-
Mayor of Atlanta, may be in the race for
speaker. He is an aVowed candidate for
the House and is regarded also al a very
probable candidate for speaker. With the
talk of two candidates from Fulton Tor
speaker and one for president of the Sem
ate, it is suggested that the average Geor-
gia legislator may be constrained 10 in
quire if he will be permitted even to "sit"
al all
Although Hon. Clark Howell who an
nounced his candidacy for the Senate and
for the presidency of that body some
months ago, succeeded i'm showing MIR.
King out Of the senatorial race, there are
those who declare that Mr.. King will not
be so easily dragged out of the speakership
contest, and as Atlanta can hardly rule
the roost on both sides of the state house
it win be interesting to see which of the
two aspirants from Fulton will show the
greater staying qualities.

Valdosta. Ga, Oct. 24.-The arrest and
Incarceration of DR.. l.. u. Rentz of Du-
pont. on the charge of murder, has caused
a sensation throughout this whole section.

ing a preliminary hearing, but was nut
in prison there before the court adjourn
ed The hearing was expected TO have
been given at Waycross to-day before
Judge Bennett
DIR. Renlz is a prominent young physi-
clan and has been connected with the
Plant Systems hospital department. He
has a large circle OF wealthy and influen-
tial friends and his incarceration in prison
has added to the sensation which the
charges against him produced
There has been a dearth of cotton bag
ging here for two weeks and nearly all
of the sea island cotton gins have been
shut down. The receipts of sea island
cotton have fallen off a great dead on that
account The cotton houses and gin houses
are reported fun of the feecy staple. and
as soon as bagsing is received the gins
will begin to cut out the seed and put it
in shape for market

Signs of Life in Woman's Body
When About to lie Buried.
Arcadia, Fla, Oct. 24-The wife of w.
G. Wells. wealthy lumber and timber
man of this county, had been quite Ill
last Saturday morning, and was finally
pronounced dead by the attending physi-
elan, who also advised early interment.
The funeral was announced for that
same afternoon. and very large number
of relatives and sympathizing friends We're
in attendance at the Joshua Greek ceme-
terry. where the interment was to have
taken place.
The coffin was opened according to Gus
tom for the relatives to take a last look
at the departed loved one, when the nus
band discovered that the glass on the in
side of the lid of the coffin was covered
with moisture. and the eyes of the sup
posed corpse were open. The lid was at
once taken off and to the horror of all
present Ii was discovered that the body
was still warm, and that there was faint
indications of a pulse.
Physicians from Arcadia were at once
summoned, and arrived with batteries and
other appliances. but after working for
several hours, the last spark of life left
her body
The physicians called in the last time
unhesitatingly say that the lady was not
dead when she was placed in her coffin.
The affair has caused a sensation all
over the county. II has added to the bur-
den of grief of the Borrowing relatives,
and has been commented on as an I'M
answerable argument against hurried in
terments.

from this point several carloads having
already been shipped. The fruit is I'M
usually bright and is rpening rapidly.
John Miller of Leesburg has arrived and
is having a bakery and restaurant erected
