Early last fall IL was appreciated by
progressive members of the city busi-

terests of the city should by all means
be well represented at the coming eX-
position to be held so near at hand.
Accordingly, a movement was started
for that purpose. The directors Of the
Board of Trade, the Business Mems
Association. and the Jobbers and
Shippers Association appointed COM
mittees of I'VE members from each body
10 constitute a joint committee 10 see

elected Thomas W. Smith, chairman;

torates also appropriated sufficient funds
TO carry out the purposes of the com
mittee.
Got Options on Space.
The. officers Of the committee at once
entered into negotiations with the ex-
position officials and secured options
on sufficient space in the Manufactures
and Liberal Arts Building to provide
for the needs of the local exhibit A
campaign was then commenced and wig
orously pushed to get merchants to fill

Let it not be said, as some cynics
may, that a few wise merchants In
Washington saw a chance to get some
good advertising at a low rate of cost
by exhibiting at jamestown, and that
they are now setting themselves up as
philanthropists and men moved solely
by sense OF civic pride. The members
and the officers of the joint committee
have worked time in and time out with
out remuneration for the success Of the
exhibit. A greater number of firms and
individuals than those having exhibits
have contributed heavily in cash toward
defraying the cost OF the reception room

Of all visitors. especially those from
Washington.

TO BUILD WAREHOUSES;.

The county Cuisines Agents" of
the Georgia Union, convened during
the meeting Of the National Union
in Atlanta.
One among the leading features
Of the meeting of the Agents, was to
arrange to build warehouses. The
Cuisines Agents" are now pushing
the plan throughout Georgia. Local
companies of farmers will be organ
lied and incorporated with sufficient
capital to build the warehouses to re-
ceive the product of the farmers and
store it until fair prices prevail.
A great many warehouses have al
ready been built in the state on this
plan, and each Of the seventy-fve
county "Business Agents" in atten-
dance, Immediately on his return
home, will begin to organize local
companies, and by the next state
convention many counties will be
able to report the erection of ware
houses. The movement for building
warehouses comparatively by the
farmers is spreading rapidly over the
South.

G.. M. DAVIS TALK TO THE
FARMERS.

The springtime is at hand, and with
it the plowing and preparing for
the years crop. Many have already
broken dirt on the new years crop,
but it is to be feared that this dirt
breaking has not been with any syste-
matte arrangement to lessen the
acreage in cotton or to increase the
amount planted in corn and food
crops.
This is the time to fix the price Of
both cotton and food crops for next
fall. A large acreage in cotton with
good seasons and favorable condi ions
means low cotton when the selling
time comes.
The low price is the very thing the
grower of cotton does not want, and
the very thing he can prevent if
he will take final and decisive action
between now and the first of May.
What is done towards getting better
prices for cotton must be done now.
The holding of cotton is all right
in its proper time and place, but if
a large acreage is put in and the
conditions are favorable to yield the
holding proposition becomes more
acute and less remumerative than
if the acreage is very materially de-
leased in the earlier months, or at
ting time. For instance, if a
crop is in sight the mills and
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-07

buyers are both to enter the market
actively and when they do it is at a
much lower figure than they deem
the staple to be actually worth.
More men have to hold and hold
larger per cent of their crop if
they expect to even maintain bread
and meat price for the stuff. This
necessarily causes the farmer to be
longer out Of his money and brings
about other financial loss, such as
loss in weight and interest on his
money.
The whole thing resolves itself into
this: The planting time is the time
to fix, in large measure, the price
of cotton for the fall months. It
is the time to force the market to
very low prices that may be deter
mined on later in the season and the
real time to get the thing in shape
to do just what you want done in
the way Of prices.
Cut two acres from each plow
and plant corn. By doing this you
force cotton up and corn down. Had
this been done last spring cotton
would have been selling today for
Is cents per pound, and corn great
deal cheaper than what it is. You
would have made so per cent more
on your cotton and saved so per
cent on your corn, thus greatly in
creasing your wealth. Had you got
ten 15 cents for cotton instead of
the price you did, you would have
many millions more money.
Go to work right now and cut. Do
not wait for your neighbor to do so.
Show your faith by your works,
and you will be both the gamer and
the winner next fall when you need
to have things coming your way.

TENNESSEE UNION.

Rejoices Over Adoption of Its Consti-

All the delegates are rejoicing over

cases, it is impossible to forecast the
occurrence of the disease. To wait
until the disease appears, is, how
ever, a disastrous practice, for leaf
curl can not be stopped after the
leaves commence to curl.
Immediate Spraying Necessary.
It should be clearly understood
why early spraying is necessary. The
reason may be explained briefly as
follows:
AS stated above, the spores of leaf
curl live over winter on and around
the buds. Application of fungicides
kill these external spores. If spray
ing is delayed until about the time
the trees are ready to bloom, the
spores may have commenced to ger
inmate, and may have pushed into
the unopened buds. After the fun
gus, arising from the spores, once
gains entrance to the buds and at
tacks the tissue within, no outside
application Of spray will prevent the
disease from developing with the leaf.
In other words, the leaf curl fungus
may get it's first start in the unop-
ened buds, and if that occurs the
disease will appear in spite of spray
ing. Experiments have shown that
early spraying kills the spores Of IT,
fungus before the buds are affected.
Where trees are properly sprayed
one month before the blooming period
the disease may be almost entirely
prevented.
Remedial Measures Advocated.
Either Bordeaux mixture or lime
sulphur wash may be used as spray
to prevent leaf curl. The former is
the most easily prepared and applied,
and we recommend its adoption in
all orchards where there is no danger
from the San Jose scale. Lime-sul-
phur wash should be used against
leaf curl in all orchards where the
San Jose scale is present. Recent
experiments in Georgia and other
states have shown that the lime-sul-
phur wash-a proven remedy for the
scale-will also prevent leaf curl.

Warehouses; is the war cry of the

from warehouses already built and
places where cotton has been bulked
by the union have resulted in the saw

Tennessee of more than 100000 over

buyers.
This is a time when every farmer,

PEACH LEAF CURL DISEASE
AND SAN JOSE SCALE.
Remedial Measures Recommended by
the State Board of Entomology
Thorough Spraying Advocated =
Important Recommendation.
By r. I. SIN hit, State EntomOlogist.
Peach growers in North and Mid
die Georgia were greatly alarmed last
spring by the unusual number of
peach trees affected by the Leaf Curl
disease. Many orchards were injured
so severely that The crop was short
ened from twenty-five per cent to
seventy-fve per cent, and an occa-
sional orchard even more severely.
In order that this condition may be
prevented this year, the writer wish
es to sound warning to orchardists
whose orchards were affected last
season. Experiments have shown
conclusively that the disease may be
almost entirely prevented by the ap-
plication Of proper fungicides early
in February. We now know definite
ly that the best results from spraying
for the leaf curl are derived by treat
ing the trees fully one month before
the blooming period Hence the rea-
son why this advice is being publish
ed at this date. Spraying now,
as recommended herein, will, also,
control the San Jose scale as well
as the leaf curl.

Supreme Court are Yale and Harvard
men. The Hawaiian judiciary, during
most of it's sixty-six years of consti-
tutional history, has been free from pol
itics to an unusual degree; public opin-
ion has insisted that this branch, at
least, of the Government should be
kept independent and above suspicion.
For these and other reasons judicial
office has been held in high esteem.
Good and able men have usually been
willing to serve, and the ablest and best
available have generally been appoint
ed. The bar is composed of two classes
those who may practise in all the
courts and those who may practise in
the District Courts only. The former
are mostly whites, the latter mostly
Hawaiians. A high standard is re-

high character and public spirit, often
sacrificing lucrative practise for longer
or shorter periods to serve the public
interests. Owing to the cosmopolitan
character of the population, made up
as it is of large numbers of Hawai-
ians, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans,
Porto Ricans, Portuguese, Americans,
English and Germans, as well as
smaller numbers of other nationalitles,
there is not only much racial variety
among judges. jurors and lawyers, but
still more among parties, witnesses and
interpreters.
The practical administration of JUS
tice has usually been characterized by
simplicity, directness and dispatch.
Procedure s. based on English COM
mon law and equity practise, but with
the omission of useless forms and tlc~
tons There has been no fus.on of law
and equity cases. although some fea-
lures of the code pleading and prac-
tise have been introduced. The same
circuit judges sit in both classes or
cases. but as distinct courts. each with
its own procedure. All the courts are
practically up to date In their work,
and a case may be put through all its
stages in both original and appellate
courts with expedition. little expense
and the assurance of an impartial de-
cision. The proverbial laws delays are
not serious in Hawaii. The first Cir
cult Court, it is true, has been unable
to keep pace with it's calendar for some
years, and this was true of the SUI
preme Court for a few years recently,
but that condition is now thing of
the past. Juries have usually perform
ed their duties well: Hawaii's annals
are comparatively free from the classes
of verGicts that in many places have
tended TO bring the jury system into
disrepute. The percentage of convic-
tions i. criminal cases is large. Cor
porations stand about as good a chance
with juries as private persons. There
has been an increasing tendency of late
to prolong trials, with a corresponding
tendency toward the view, which seems
to prevail in many States, but which
has not made much Roadway in the
Federal and English courts, that a trial
judge is a mere dummy. or at most
a weak umpire to preside over a play

between counsel. AS long as fourteen
years ago a statute was enacted for
bidding judges to comment on the evil
dence, but that may be invalid now
under the view that the right of trial
judge to advise the jury on the facts
is an essential element of trial by jury
as preserved by the Federal Constitu-
ton. The Legislature also, at its last
session, expressly authorized trial
judges to exercise greater control over
the examination of jurors on their voir
dire, for the purpose of shortening the
time wasted by counsel and preventing
the exclusion of the better class of
jurors. 1t also expressly authorized
trial judges to permit juries to sepa-
rate during intermissions in capital as
we'll as other cases, in order to save
expense to the Territory in long trials
and lessen the inconvenience to jurors.
No bad consequences have resulted.
The doctrine of a "scintilla of evil
dence" does not obtain, and judgments
non obstante veredicto are granted on
the evidence as well as the pleadings,
and for the defendant as well as the
plaintiff when the material facts are
undisputed. The doctrine of presumed
prejudice from error is given little
weight; the Supreme Court does not
readily grant new trials unless there
is good reason to believe that injus-
tice may have resulted from error COM
mitment by the trial court. The num-
Der of cases, for various reasons, is
rather large in comparison with the
population. The Supreme Court dis
poses of about 125 cases, mostly civil,
a year; the Circuit Courts, about 1000
civil and 500 criminal cases; and the
District Courts, about 1000 civil and 10, =
600 criminal cases.
The, law, both written and unwritten,
administered by the courts is much
what one might look for on the main
land. with such differences due to loca'
conditions as are found in the various
States. Formerly the written law con-
sisted of the Constitution, treaties and
statutes. Now there are no Hawaiian
treaties, and there is no constitution
aside from the Federal Constitution
and the Organic Act of the Territory.
The constitutions were always confined
to a bill of rights and frame of gov
ernment-not elaborated into little
codes. as in many States Treaties

criminals were delivered up upon q
proper showing, in the absence of
treaty provisions on the subject of en-

been no attempt at general codifiCa-
ton. The code procedure has not been
adopted. There is no civil code of
substantive law. Penal rffcnses. how
ever, are wholly of statutory definition.
