 After breakfast Carroll accompanied her husband to the front door. When they opened 1t a blast of afr rushed in, whirling some dead leaves with it.
 T guess the fine weather's over," said Orde, looking up at the sky.
 A dull lead color had succeeded the soft gray. The heavens seemed to have settled down closer to the earth. Whiriwinds scurried among the dead leaves on the lawns. chasing them madly around in circles.
 Winters comins.'' shivered Carroll. Carroll resolved to take a drive. as she enjoyed blustery weather She stopped for Nina Heinzman, and the two walked around to the stable, where the men harnessed old Prince into the phaeton. A

The farmers Of all this section have
for years-for more than a gener-

This season is proving no excep-

that they can supply their needs on

In this connection, Mr.. w. r. Hol-

West, bringing with him for the sec

large lot of extra fine mules and

for the demands Of this section.

VISIT
Friendly Conference In. which

Former Passenger Rates
Asked To Be Restored.

:
g Several railroad presidents called
on. Governor Kitchint Colonel Ane
drews had previously s informed the
Governor that they would be present.
but the purpose of their visit was not
known to the Governor until the con-
versation began. Attorney General
Beckett, Chairman McNeill. Judge
Graham and Hon. j. S. Manning were
also present.
'The railroad representatives stat
ed that when the present passenger
fares were agreed upon it was with
Glenn that they should be tried for
one year and and If such trial show
ed that. the rates were not just and
reasonable the matter would be re-
opened, and that the Governor would
try to have the Corporation Commits
sion empowered to hear the matter
and fix the rates. The railroad pres
idents contended that eight months
trial, the year not being yet out,
shows the rates are not just and reas-
enable, and claimed that it7would be
hardship to have to wait till the
next Legislature for relief, and want
ed any. suggestions from the Cover
nor, and that they did not want liti-
cation.
''The Governor stated that he had
stated in his inaugural that there
would probably be no agitation for
change of passenger fares during his
| administration; that the people were
not expecting such agitation; that he
could not encourage any procedure,
but hoped the railroads would try the
panic conditions prevail; that he had
no Information to justify him in sug-
gesting any changes-that if the rail-
roads decided to agitate the matter
the proper legislative committees
would doubtless give them respectful
that the former Legislature had de-
clined to give the powers mentioned
to the Corporation Commission.
''The Governor said he thought that
when the agreement was reached the
railroads themselves considered the
rates agreed upon as just and reason
able under normal conditions and ex-
pressed the hope that a trial under
such conditions would show the rates
fair to all concerned-that the facts
stated did not convince him that the
rates were conf1scatory, or unjust.
The Governor said that he had made
no personal investigation of the
workings of the present law, having
not been Informed of the object of
the meeting. He expressed himself
freely on the matters as they appear
ed to him without such investigation.
In answer to a question he said he
would of course be glad to get any
further information possible and hear
any other statements.

Dr. L. b. Emanuel, secretary of the
Grady County Farmers Institute, has
received the following letter from the
state board of agriculture
Dear Sir: Having received requests
for information from the officers Of
quite a number Of the different coun-
ties where we have previously organ
ized institutes, in regard to the pur-
poses Of the county institute and duties
Of the officers, I am sending out this
general letter.
The object OF the county institute
is to encourage and enlighten the farm
ers along the lines Of scientific agri-
culture, for the promotion of the dairy
bus. ness, for the encouragement Of
horticulture, and for the teaching of
the proper methods of growing and
caring for orchards, vineyards, and
such like, and for the purpose of en-
couraging the farmers and stocSmen
and teaching the advantages of i'm
proving and raising a better grade of
live stock 1t is also the aim of the
institute work to encourage the organ
igation Of women's clubs for the pur-
pose of teaching domestic science, and
for the purpose OF encouraging poultry
associations as an auxiliary to the in
stitute.
In a general way the county insti-
tutes afford the means of reaching the
adult furmer and giving him better
idea of agriculture and industrial edu-
cation through lectures and practical
demonstrations in the judging of live
stock, and in the handling of farm
products upon scientific methods.
One of the main purposes of the
county farmers institutes is to comply
with the law passed by the First leg
islature, vitalizing that part of the
constitution which created board Of
agriculture, and providing for the cleo
tion OF the members of the board and
defining their duties, ETC., providing
for the election of the board of agricul-
ture, by delegates elected by the coun-
ty Institutes to meet at the annual in
stitute in saltwater the second Tues
day in August, every years, etc Un-
dar the new institute law, a copy OF
which herewith inclose, a way is pro
vided bv which we can raise fund
to be used for the purpose of offering
premiums for farm products and i'm
proved live stock, poultry, domestic
science work, fruits, or anything per
tanning to the encouragement OF bet

TO IMPROVE
FARMERS INSTITUTES

ter and more improved condition on
the farm. This is OF interest to the
farmer and business man, and at this
point, would suggest for the benefit
of your meeting this fall that It is
necessary that you increase your mem
bership as early aid as rapidly as
you can in order that you may be able
to avail yourself Of the help that you
will receive from your county, and in
order that you can arrange for your
exhibit and be provided with funds to
meet the expenses Of your institute
such as printing, and the publishing OF
your premium lists and your pre-
miums
For instance, under the provisions
of this bill, If you have a paid up list
of 90 members. this will give you 5000
cash from your membership fees and
annual dues, and upon a verified state
ment from the president of the insti-
tute of a total number of paid up
members an itemized statement of all
the expenses incurred in the institute
work, the county clerk must issue a
warrant for 5000 to the institute; this
will make you the sum of $400 which
you can expend for premiums and ex-
Denses to be fixed by your members.
These things are entirely left with
each county; Of course if you do not
raise and expend this sum then you
will get less from the county.
After our annual meeting in August,
we hold a series of special Institutes
Of not less than two days in each coun-
ty, and at these meetings we will be
able to assist the county institute
workers a great deal, for instance, If
you have an exhibit, which you should
have if you want your county to keep
pace with the rest of the counties,
we will furnish competent lecturers
who Will instruct you IN tne improved
methods of growing and judging farm
products live stock and domestic sci
ence work. so that you will be sure
of the prizes that you offer for ex-
hibits Going to the products that merit
the ri e.
Hoping that this letter will, in a
brief way, be of some assistance to you
about your Institute work and advis-
ing you that at any time this office
can be Of any assistance to you, not
to hesitate to call upon us, | am,
Respectfully yours,
J. c. Elliott,
Supt Farmers Institutes.

the service had been very satisfactory.
A petition for additional paving on
South Third street was presented and
the matter of grading the same street
was also discussed. Coffman argued
that in view of the fact that the prop
erty owners had put down sidewalks
with the understanding that the city
would grade the street, the work
should be done at once. Temple and
other members expressed a desire to
expedite paving and all other i'm
provements as fast as possible but
thought il best to hold back the paw
ing petition till others had been filed
in order that a larger contract might
be let and a lower price be secured. It
is understood that several more paw
ing petitions will be presented soon.
Petty and Sullivan called attention
to the quality of the material that had
been used in some of the curbing and
guttering and the city engineer re-
ported that the contractors had dis
continued the use Of this material up
on his Instructions. A number of mat
ters pertaining to paving were dis
cussed and an ordinance assessing
North Fourth street for paving pur-
poses was discussed.
