"THE FLOWER OF THE RANCH"
WITH BUNCH OF SINGERS

The Flower of the Ranch" which
comes to the opera house Thursday
night might best be termed musical
melodrama, for during the operation
of the piece there are a number of
stirring climaxes. intermingled with
which are nearly twenty of the clever
est musical numbers, and among
which are some real novelties One
of these, and the biggest spot on the
map of mirth and melody unfolded in
this story, is the ''Pajama and the
Nightie" duet. This is bold, broad
conceit which stops just about two
ticks by the stop watch this side of
the shocking point where polite society
would call it "outre" The breezy
summary raiment of the nifty terpsi-
chores is not exactly diaphanous or
gauzy, for it has a little more protec-
ton against wintry blasts than the
bracelets and beads of Salome fame.

Farmers Last Year.

Put $44,961 900 in Pockets of the
Farmers Last Year.
A ST. Louis dispatch says that next
to live stock poultry raising brings
in the largest returns to the Mis-
souri, farmer. Last year the value
of poultry and eggs, with a few hun
dred thousand thrown in for feath-
ers, was $44,S66,447, placing the
state ahead of all others. Official
figures for 1908 are now out, and it
is ascertained that the value of poul-
try and eggs last year was S44,96O,-
972, or gain of $94,S26 over the
previous year. OF this amount live
poultry brought in over $12,O00,OOO,
dressed poultry over $4,000, 900,
eggs over $22,OOO,OOO, and feathers
nearly $1,000,O00. Since 1900 the
products of the hen, over and above
those consumed by the farmer, have
yielded total of $3.50, 488,8O8.

GOVERNOR WON'T DICTATE
TO ASYLUM COMMITTEE
He Not Responsible for the Situation the Sanitarium
and Will Not Interfere With the Committees Work.

ATLANTA, Cain view of the
crusade that has been started by GER
tain of the Atlanta papers against
the state sanitarium for the insane
Of Milledgeville and the tendency
manifested in some quarters to hold
Governor Brown responsible for the
DELAY in the investigation of that in
stitution gossipers about the capitol
are recalling certain facts.
Il is a fact that a large majority
of the trustees, who are responsible
for the condition of the institution,
if conditions are bad, were appointed
nv Hoke Smith. They owed their
positions to the former governor, and
he alone was responsible for their
selection. These trustees had the
appointment of all the employees Of
the institution from the superintend-
emit down to guards. If any evils ex-
listed in the management of the in
stitution they have had time to cor
rect them.
It is another fact that the en-
poyes of the sanitarium voted
against Governor Brown in the pri-
mary last year by a large majority,
the vote being in the sanitarium pre-
Cinct % for Brown to $50 for Smith.
1t was this sanitarium vote that car
ried Baldwin county for Smith by a
narrow margin, Governor Brown
having a majority in the other dis
tricts of the county.
Now these facts are recalled, not
in any spirit of criticism of the trus-
tees of the sanitarium, but merely
to show that if this strenuous and
supposedly disinterested crusade is
really just part of the general
scheme to embarrass the adm1n1stra-
ton, as has been suggested, its ma
nipulators were never so far away
from the trail or showed such poor
scent as hunters as they are doing
now. In no sense of the word can
the present governor be held respon-
sible for the condition of affairs eX-
isting at the sanitarium, whether
that condition be good or bad.
Governor Browns position is sim
ply this: He knows that he is not
responsible for the present situation
at the sanitarium nor for the trus-
tees of the institution. A commit
tee of both houses of the general as
Sembly has been appointed to make
an Investigation. The governor
does not feel that it would be
proper for him to dictate to this COM
mittee how they shall conduct their
Investigation or when they shall do
it. When he receives their report he
may have some recommendations to
offer. Until then he is willing to
leave the matter in their hands.
