Mr.. JUSTICE JAcKsoN'S
RICHMOND TERMINAL DECISION

Editor Atlanta Journal: / write TO ask
you to correct the statements contained
in the editorial Fighting Southern Mer-
GER in so far as they refer TO the decisioni
of my father. the late Mr.. Justice Jackson,
You say in that editorial:
Georgia has a law similar to that OF
Kentucky, and some years ago II was en-
forced by Judge Speer. when the OLD
Richmond and Danville (the predecessor
Of the Southern sought to take over the
Central of Georgia. Justice Jackson al !
forwards rendered a decision almost IN
direct opposition to Judge Speer, but the |
United States supreme court, in subse- 1
ouent decision, practically sustained
Judge Speer on all material points
Now, as a matter Of fact, and as you
could have ascertained from the court
records in the case the question. of mer-
ger or consolidation of the Richmond and
Danville and the Central Railroad was
not before Justice Jackson when he sat IN
the trial Of the case at Atlanta and after
wards at Savannah, Ca, and consequent
ly he rendered no decision on that point.
Previous TO the hearing OF the case py
Justice Jackson, and while 1t was before
Judge Speer, the latter issued an order
restraining the Richmond Terminal COM
pany from voting the stock that company
owned in the Central railroad On this
point. no doubt the one to which you
intended to refer. Justice Jackson decided
that the Terminal company cOuio NOte lho
stock il held in the Central. and as PROOF
that his decision in that particular was
not reversed by the superior court OF the
United States, the Southern Railroad COM
pany, the successor of the Richmond Ter
minal company, is today voting the ma
jority Central railroad stock IL acquired
from the Terminal company.
want to add moreover that the rulings
and decisions of Justice Jackson on this
and the many other points involved In the
settling of the Central railroad litigation
were never appealed from. The case was
never carried to the supreme court, there
fore that court did not and could not have
Sin a subsequent decision, practically sus-
tanned Judge Speer on all material points.
Had there been any doubt as to his decis-
ions and rulings upon the many points
of law involved in the trial Of the case,
most assuredly attorneys. would have ap-
pealed to the United States supreme court.
That they did not take an appeal Is the
surest evidence of the error you have
made and which. trust, you will edi-
torially correct. Yours truly.
HENRY JACKSON.

SECRETARY HULL MAKES
REPLY TO COLONEL PEEK
ATHENS. GA, a

ATHENS. Ca Aug =, lSUz.
To the Editor OF The Journal:
In his article on the Agricultural college
Colonel Peek makes some errors in his
figures which I am sure he will be glad
to have corrected.
The annual income of the A. & NJ. col
lege is not s41. 954 80 but 81. 500. So. OF the
total amount which Col Peek gives, 5000
is paid to the college at DahlOnega and
Ss,33S.33 to the College for COlored Youths
at Savannah. The 5000 referred to was
not to defray the expenses Of the last
three months course in agriculture, but
was set apart for the equipment OF that
department None OF IT was paid for cur
rent expenses. The report made by DR..
White of property buildings was doubt
less to show the value Of the home OF
the college. As a matter of fact these do
not belong to the College Of Agriculture.
but TO the university, known in ante bel
Ium days as Franklin college.
But this does not touch upon the main
issue
II is unfair to say that so much money
has been spent for agricultural education
without adequate results. II ii is claimed
that these appropriations should be used
for teaching boys how to pillow and hoe
cotton. and milk a COW and shoe a iGrGe.
II is conceded that the results have not
been attained. But there are hundreds of
farmers who are better farmers and bet
ter citizens and happier men Cor having
had the advantages offered through the
Landscrip Fund. Whatever may be the
individual opinion Of the purpose OF the
Land Grant the Act itself Is clear enough
to those who care to know its meaning.
And il is unfair 10 emphasize the igno-
rance of the farmers OF Georgia. AS a
class they are not more ignorant than
merchants. and the percentage of failures
among them I believe is not so large. OF
this 1 am not certain. but 1 have seen

statistics which If true would prove the
statement II the farmers who live on
the farms are more illiterate than other
classes, the remedy is not in an agricul-
tural college. 1t lies in the country
schools. Let the farmers friend help to-

attractiveness of the country school and
the farmers iIliteracy will disappear
Teach the farmers boy the possibilities

As to spiral domes'' and laps OF lux

few boys at Athens were born under the

are bows here however. who are paying
their way through college by teaching and
by selling coal and second hand oooksS

are typical farmers sons, but neither ig-

truth Is that a drowning person may sink

My Dear Sir:
There is an old adage that says. what
Is everybody's business is nobody's BUSH
ness and there is much truth In H. This
truth rnay be applicable to the meetings
OF the farmers that are appointed for
township meetings the 23d instant, and
county meetings the 30th. TO select dele
gates 70 attend the state meeting in Raj
eigh the Sd of September. Therefore,
write this personal letter and ask that you
see your leading farmers and see that
meetings are held for this purpose. II
you find that you cannot get a township
meeting. please see that you have a coun-
" meeting. II you are unable to give this
your personal attention, / will take IL as
favor II you will select some representa-
tive farmer who will take interest I'm the
movement and get him TO take hold of it.
The time is at hand when IL is very
necessary that the farmers should come
together and cooperate with each other
for their mutual benefit and protection.
We have already accomplished much, and
can accomplish a great .eal more. / am
sure that our action last fall in regard
to the cotton seed situation saved the
farmers OF the south many thousand dol
lars. and by still further cooperation We
can save many thousand more. There are
no people who are taking a back seat So
cially, financially. infiuentially and other
wise as rapidly as the farmers are. In
fact, I believe all other classes are ad-
vancing In these respects. The farmers
should keep abreast with the people Of
other vocations. The time was when they
stood I'm the very front ranks. 1t is posi-
bic for them to again occupy that posi-
ton. but IL can be accomplished only by
cooperation, and that can come about
only by association and organization.
trust that am not asking too much-of
you when I ask that you give this your
personal attention and see that your peo-
pie are represented at the meeting in
Raleigh September Sd. I shall be pleased
70 hear from you and viii give you any
information that can. Very respectfully,

If the disease is among the cattle it will stop
as soon as the cattle are thoroughly cleansed

something to reduce the fever and keep the

physic, as raw lnseed oil or lard, may be used.
Green feed such corn is good to keep cattle
in condition. At the first indication OF fever
the cattle should be given all the green feed
they want and every one gone over carefully
to remove all the ticks. This Is where so
many fail in handling the disease. The sick
time the we'll should be gone over and
the ticks removed. In this way the disease
may be stopped. ANY of the oils thoroughly
applied will kill the ticks but II must be wen
applied especially to the under parts Of the
