Amerlcus auto owners who, like otA-
ers in the state are touched for the s.
registration fee to be forwarded Iect.
Cook in Atlanta, will receive this week
their registration receipt and state (
number to be attached to their cars.
Secretary Cook will send out many Of
these numbers today.
Americus car owners will give W
$3.50 collectively but this states dose
cuts out the old city tax as fees ars
paid only to the state now
Secretary Cook already has some
5000 applicants for registration from
auto owners and every mail is still
bringing them in by TIE hundreds. All
seem anxious to get their new state
numbers at once, but it has been I'M.
possible to begin the delivery of them
until the first of this week, because
Mr.. Cook was not able to secure the
number plates from the manufacturers
before this time
He expects however to start sendinz
them out today, and says he will furn-
ISL them just as rapidly as it is pos
slble for him to do SO with the limited
clerical force which is allowed him
The new state law substitutes stara

city registration AMI numbers, and
cities and towns are no longer permit
ted to charge any special registration
fee or license.
The 81 registration fee paid thu
state takes the place of that hereto
fore paid to tie cities. Cities ana
towns, however, may still make re-
quirements as to speed within their
limits and prescribe rules of the road
to be followed by all vehicles.
1t is estimated that there are approx-
imately 10000 automobiles in Georgia.
which means a yearly payment to the
secretary of state of 10000. This
money will be used in paying the ex
penses of carrying out the act, aud
w atever is left will be turned into the

Atlanta Ga, September 5.-'What
is the use Of a state conyention?" is a
question may we'll be asked follow
ing the gathering here on Thursday, in
which the victorious faction rode
rongh shod over the minority. refus-
ing it even the right of speech in the
deliberations.
Tae question may be properly ask
ed wholly without partisanship, even
though based on what was done by
a particular faction of the democratic
party.
Could a stranger from the other
side of the globe have come into At
lanta on the day of the state conven-
ton with full understanding of all
our political institutions, that is, no
doubt, the first question which would
nave occurred to him.
In the first place THE old idea of
che state democratic convention has
been somewhat perverted.
The original idea of party primary
and state convention was that tl9
electors should vote for delegates AMI
that the delegates SHOULD select the
candidates.
Now the electors vote directly for
the candidates in the primary and the
delegates are chosen as a secondary
proceeding merely to gather and dc
over again what the people have al,
ready done at the polls.
Under the original idea of the con-
vention there were deliberations both
as to the candidates and as to the plat
form; under the present plan, as ex.
iemplitied in Thursdays conventioH.
there is no such thing as delib-
Grafton.
The programme is cut and dried;
the minority is fifth wheel without
functions, and the only purpose the
convention serves is to permit the
blowing off of little fractional polirl-
cal steam.
This was abundantly demonstrated
when 15Oo delegates representing 232
convention votes, met here to noml-
nate Hoke Smith for governor ana
put out party platform.
For all the figure they cut in the
convention, for al the use they were
to the state or the party, the 135
Brown delegates might just as wei
have stayed at home.
Those 135 Brown delegates came to
Atlanta, as they stated, representing
$4,000 voters in Georgia, and yet they
were not even permitted to place the
name Of the defeated candidate in nom
ination before the convention as
matter of form
As for representation on the Plat
form committee they were more effec-
tually shut out than are the Chinese
dnder the national exclusion act.

The following address was read be

Ter at the first regular meeting in Feb
ruary, 1910. Its publication in The Ma

give the general public a general idea
of the advantage of .he colony. The
Doctor has travelled extensively, and
speaks from personal knowledge and
experience in 3viaS his impressions of
st. Cloud. lie said:
Comrades: The old soldier likes a
warm and equitable climate and out
door life. We saw many enjoying their
homes at Santa Monica, Cal, several
years ago They were there from all
parts of the country, particularly froIh
the colder sections.
For many years the cry has gone up:
why has not some one formed colony
In the South, where the old soldiers and
their families can go to live and enjoy
a warm climate and be able TO raise
tropical fruits and garden truck most
of the year?' The National Tribune
took up this proposition, and formed a
plan by which the old soldiers hopes
might be realized. j'he National Trib-
une with great care organized the Sem
mole Land and Investment Company,
and sought for climate aud a location
combining what all were calling for.
The committee carefully looked over
many points in the Southern States for
the IDEAL location. They frcelv admit
they found many desirable places that
would please many, but they finally set
tied upon st. Cloud, in Osceola County,
Fla. The climate is hne. uniform and
healthful, and with a little care one is
able to raise nearly all kinds of semi
tropical fruit and truck during the Win
ter. This beautiful spot is the highest
point in the State above sea and gulf
level. The lakes surrounding the lands
and townsite add great beauty and
charm to the place. The sem-tropicaI
conditions of Winter give a warm juno
like weather. Occasionally there IS a
light frost. and at times a Norther
comes waiting a chill. and then a little
fire in the house docs not come amiss.
This is only for a day or a night or two.
