TO WEAR SUITS OF COTTON
Also Pledge to Plant Corn and Raise
Meat. Farmers Union Starts
q Unique Movement.

Several hundred delegates and
officials of various branches of the
Georgia Farmers Union met in con-
vention in the hall of the house of
representatives at the state capitol
in Atlanta upon call of the national
board of directors and of the Cotton
Committee appointed at the recent
meeting held in New Orleans for the
purpose of discussing and taking ac-
tlOn upon the Union warehouse prob
lem, and attending to other matters
of Importance. Plans for the consol-
ldatiOn of all the Union warehouses
in the state of Georgia under one
management were formulated, and a
committee appointed to arrange the
details for the federation. The COM
mittee is composed Of the following
members of the Union: w. w.
Webb, w. c. Wood, F. D. Wimberly,
M. L. Johnson, Charles Newcomer,
H. NJ. Spinks and d. e. Jones.
One of the most interesting actions
taken at the meeting was the passage
of a resolution providing for the
adoption of a uniform suit of cotton
clothing to be worn by farmers while
at work on the farm.
If the 100000 members of the
Union throughout the country fall in
line with this new movement, and
provide themselves with working
suits of cotton cloth, it is apparent
that they will at once create new
and important use for their great
product.
Right in line with this action was
the passage of resolution by unani-
nous vote to insist on and encour-
age the extension of the uses of cot
ton in the manufacture of bags and
bagging used in covering commercial
packages.
Without DISSENTING vote the del
egates pledged themselves to raise
this year all the corn, meat and 9TH
er supplies good for man and beast
necessary to carry them through the
year. This resolution was adopted
Just before the session closed, and
to it every one in attendance sub
scribed, and further agreed to make
himself committee of one to adyo-
cate that same idea in his home sec
tiOn.
The board of directors decided to
send out four lecturers to visit every
section of the state between January
27th and March 18th.

THE JIMTOWN SHOW AGAIN
Suits Brought Against a Thousand
or More Whose Contributions
Are Still on Paper.

Suit was brought the other day
against 1922 subscribers to the
common and preferred stock of the
jamestown Exposition, who, it is al
legged, have failed to pay their origi-
nal subscriptions. The proceedings
involve about 100000. In some
cases a part of the subscription was
paid, but in many other instances
nothing whatever was placed in the
treasury of the exposition corpora
ton. The defendants in the suits
now brought are going to make a
contest some of them asserting that
they were induced to subscribe bv
misrepresentation. The lesson of
Ihe jamestown show will probably
last for some time to come, and will
induce ambitious communities mot
to do it, when they feel like pro-
Jectlng a show beyond their means.

GOT A PARDON AND $500
HAD SERVED FOURTEEN YEARS
FOR BREAKING INTO A STORE
AND STEALING A HAM.

ATLANTA-The are few, if
any, persons in Georgia who are ap-
preciating the joys of freedom with
a deeper and more abiding apprecia-
ton than Bruce Reed, who not only
has a pardon in his pocket after a
penitentiary service of fourteen
years, but along with it $500 in cash.
Reed is a Harris county negro,
who was convicted Of breaking into
a store and stealing a ham. For that
offense, burglary, he was given the
limit of the law, twenty years in the
penitentiary. For fourteen years
Reed worked away in the Durham
coal mines, in Walker county, up on
the Tennessee line, until one day
few weeks ago Police Commissioner
James Key of Columbus called the
attention of Prison Commissioner
Wiley Williams to the case, Reed
was a negro who had borne a good
reputation prior to this crime, and
Capt, Williams concluded that four
teen years was a long enough service
for the theft of one ham.
Commissioner Williams took up
the case with his colleagues on the
commission and succeeded in having
Reed pardoned last week. Subse-
quently Capt. Williams had occasion
to visit the Durham mines to make
an inspection, returning from there
the latter part of the week.
While there he learned that Reed,
by working over time during his
fourteen years service, had saved
$500. Each man in the mines is
required to get out so much coal
as daily task. After he has COM
pleted that he is free to rest or to
continue work, and in the latter in
stance receives pay at the rate of
about 40 cents ton for all addi-
tional coal dug out.
Reed stuck close to work. and
when his pardon came Capt. J. L.
Gordon, warden at the Durham
mines, went to Chattanooga with
him, drew his money from the bank
and gave it to him-$80O in new
crisp bills.
Reed has gone back to his home.
having announced his determination
to set him up a legitimate business
and make a good citizen henceforth.

money enough to pay the fines and

A Georgia Ordinary Gets Opinion OF
the Sabiant.

the Sabjast.
According to the INTERPRETATION
put upon the law by Attornev-Gen-
eral John G. Hart, who was asked
for his opinion by an anxious ordi-
nary, a county ordinary in this state
has the right to issue his own mar
rage license should occasion for
such action arise.
Judge Hart declined to furnish tbo
name OF the ordinary in question
but he wrote the attornev-generai
that he was planning to get married
and asked to whom he should annIv
Tor marriage license, since he was
the only person in the county an
thorlzed to issue them. Either ha
would have to issue his own mar
rage license or go over into another
county in order to get married
The attorney general holds that II
IS not necessary for him to leave
home to have the knot tied. and the
conclusion reached was doubtless q
very satisfactory one to the ordi-
nary who has been on the snxioms

COTTON OIL BY THE POUND.
Will Be So Quoted in Future by New
York Produce EXCHANGE.

Official notice has been received by
the members of the Cotton Seed
Crushers Association of Georgia that
the produce exchange of New York
city has changed the mode of trad
ing in cotton seed oil from gallons
to pounds. Hereafter this important
and popular oil will be quoted on
the exchange there and flashed
around the world at so much per
pound, just as lard is measured, and
not by the gallon as heretofore.
1t is believed by this change, which
was heartily recommended at the re-
cent meeting of the Georgia Associa-
tion at Atlantic Beach, Fla, and by
the Interstate Association at it's
meeting in Louisville, which were at
tended by the cotton oil men of Daw-
son, that its sale and use will be
greatly increased where the differ
ence in price with lard, being cheap
er, is core easily gagged.
Heretofore the dealers in cotton
seed oil have claimed that putting
lard at 9 cents and 10 cents a pound
and cotton seed oil at AZ, 43 and "A
cents gallon has made an ocular
comparison in favor of the lard,
whereas by quoting each by pound
and putting lard at 9.72 cents a
pound and cotton seed oil at 5.62
cents a pound the buyers have
better opportunity to gauge the two
prices.
Consular reports from abroad indi-
cate that this method of quoting the
product most generally used in this
country for shortening has long been
used and has proved highly success
full
The Cotton Seed Crushers of Geor-
gla are delighted with the official
notice and believe it will prove vast
ly beneficial.

HE GOT ONE CENT DAMAGES.
Governor Sued Montgomery Paper
for $500 for Libel.


After a trial lasting exactly one
week the jury in the case of Gov.
b. B. Conner of Alabama against the
Montgomery Advertiser has awarded
damages of one cent for libel. The
governor claimed $4,000 damages
for an advertisement printed during
1904, when he was a candidate for
railroad commissioner.
The advertisement was an afi-
daVit made by E. A. Dikert in which
1t was stated that Mr.. Conner had
offered to pay him personally for
work done at his mills by the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad COM
pany.
The jury was out less than half an
hour.
