BUSY FOR GREATER GEORGIA
ASSOCIATION LAYS FOUNDATION
FOR ADVERTISING STATE.
Was About to Give up the Ghost

AS Last Resort to Procure Funds
For Carrying on the Work 1t Was
Decided to Send Man About the
State to Raise $50, 600.
ATLANTA, Ga.-At a meeting of
the executive committee and vice
presidents of the Greater Georgia AS

to take immediate steps to raise
$4,000 for the purpose of advertis-
ing the state, particularly through

To this end the association, which
was presided over by President w
c. Vereen of Moultrie, agreed to
guarantee the expenses of a man who
shall travel about the state with a
view Of raising this fund
John Greer of Triton was selected
for this work, and he will begin at
once holding meetings in cities
throughout the state in conjunction
with members of the association, at
which the plans will be set forth and
subscriptions asked for.
The members were somewhat dis
heartened when the meeting first
gathered today, and it was suggest
ed that it should either get very
busy at once or give up the ghost.
1t was decided to do the former, and
the plan stated was devised at the
afternoon session. The association
decided to give it's warm indorse-
ment to the land exposition and the
corn show which are to be held con-
jointly in Atlanta in November, and
committee Of eight was appointed
to act in conjunction with the Cham
Der of Commerce committee in push
ing this work.
In the party which left the CITY
this afternoon for Cincinnati to boost
the coming land show at the Ohio
Valley Exposition were Commission
er of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, E. p.
Ansley, Col. S. c. Dunlap, Wade
Leahy of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic Railway, q. H. Clark of

MANY NEW FACES In THE NEXT SENATE

Conrad, the latter a Virginian by
birth, both democrats, are anxious
to get the Carter seat, and one of
them may do so.
Senator Culberson's i'll health may
cause him to retire from the race.
Senator Frazier of Tennessee is not
expected to succeed himself on ac-
count of his factional affiliations,
and Congressman Butler Ames is
making a stiff fight to defeat Sena-
tor Lodge in Massachusetts.
OF the entire thirty senators now
up for reelection only Senators
Clapp of Minnesota, Clarke of Wy
oming, DUPONT of Delaware, La Fol
lette of Wisconsin, McCumber of
North Dakota, Oliver of PennsyIva-
MIA, Page of Vermont, Raynor of
Maryland, Scott of West Virginia
and Sutherland of Utah seem likely
to succeed themselves.

party Claude A. Swanson was chos-
en- to succeed Senator Daniel, Chas
T. Gates may defeat Frazier of Ten
nessee, John Sharp Williams will
come to the senate from Mississippi
and former Governor BrowaTd will
succeed Senator Taliaferro from
Florida.
In addition to this, unless his
health is regained, it is almost out
of the question that Senator Benja-
min Ryan Tillman of South Carroll
ma, in many respects one of the most
unique characters who ever held
membership in the senate, will re-
turn. Should he resign another new
face would be seen among the many
strange ones fast appearing in the
upper house of congress. Senator
A. S. Clay of Georgia is also known
to be in precarious health.

Copies of Law Are Being Sent Out

turers and dealers in cotton seed
meal copies of the act passed by the
last general assembly, which re-
quires that all cotton seed meal sold

than $50 per cent. of nitrogen;
standard Grade, which shall contain

ever, now that means of complete
control and even obliteration have
been discovered-and are being sci

the greatest apparent enemy King
Cotton has ever faced. Experts have
been given almost unlimited means
to make experiments and apply cur

asked to do was to follow the instruc-

tons have taught the farmers in
threatened areas to take advantage
of the discoveries and apply them
without expert aid The method
pursued is in the main a simple one.
Farmers are taught to gather from
the ground the cotton bolls which
have been attacked and have with

BOTH FEET CUT BY MOWER.
A Negro Happens to an Unusual Ac
Cident in Lee County.

Buck" Pierce, a negro employed
on Mr.. N. L. Palmer's place in Lee
county, was badly injured yesterday
afternoon when both feet were cut
by a grass mower. The negro had
stopped the mower for a few min
utes, and when ready to start again
the mule made a quick jerk, and was
off faster than the negro expected.
The blade of the mower struck his
right heel, nearly severing it from
the foot. In pulling up the injured
foot he threw the left foot in front
of the blade and it was severely cut
above the ankle, the blade going
deep into the bone and severing an
artery.
DR.. w. L. Davis was summoned,
and hurried in an automobile to the
injured man. After examining the
wounds it was thought the left limb
might be saved, though it is very
doubtful, the NEGRO having lost much
blood before aid reached him.-Al-
bany Herald.

CARP MILK COWS, THEN CHURN.
Remarkable Story of Dairying in
Water VOuched For.

dJCI OlCIIGu H Or
Superintendent Norman of the
George w. Westinghouse estate at
Lenox, Mass, is sponsor for a re-
markable nature story.
The blooded Jersey COWS of Mr..
Westinghouse recently ceased to give
milk. Watch was kept, and when
the COWS walked into a pond it was
noticed that the pet carp in the pond
seized the opportunity to gorge
themselves with milk.
To prove just where the milk went
employees of the place cast hooks
and lines into the water. The first
carp to bite fought gamely, and
thrashed about in the water fully
fifteen minutes before it was landed.
When cut open there were no
traces of milk, but instead several
tiny balls of butter, the product of
the churning incident to the strug-
giles of the carp.

last the entire railroad from this
city to Macon, and for this purpose

has called for trackage improve
ments, which are being anticipated
1T is stated that the Illinois Cen

the grand opera house in st. Peters
burg They were a recent sensation at
the grand opera house in Paris. and

option on their services for America. 1t
was from Frohman and Dillingham; that
Martin Beck acquired the right to
present these dancers in America, and
their tour over the Orpheum circuit Will
be short because of their leave of alb
sence from Russia is limited. An east
ern critic in speaking of Lydia Lapo-
kawa says: she dances like an autumn
leaf fiuttering on the ground during a
blue gray October evening. She makes
no effort but whisks this way and that
at the caprice of the orchestra"

Every Performance

Max Dill in The White Hen at the
Garrick theater has made great i'm
preston and full houses have been the
rule since the engagement opened. The
advance demand for seats has been
great enough to justify the manage
ment in announcing third week of

ever. the final week of its run.
Dill's supporting cast has established
itself as popular. Lora Lieb, Beatriz
Michelena- Middleton, Thomas Whiffen,

all won a big personal and collective
following, and the company is con-
ceded to be the best that ever appeared
at the prices
The chorus is large, tunefui and in
diviJually pretty. The story is. engag-
ing. witty and full of ludicrous posi-
tions of episodes. Dill as the fun max
ing star is at his best and the fate of
his venture seems to spell success.

FORTUNE HUNTER"
FINDS LOCAL FAME
Wholesome Comedy at Colum-
bia Breaking Records

A quaint, delightful whoIesomeness
is breathed by THE Fortune Hunter, :"
which is now entering the second and
last week of it's engagement at the
Columbia theater Technically the
comedy is nearly flawless: as an en-
tertainment it has no better on the
American stage. That at least was the
view which New York took of Winehell
Smiths work and which is being in
dorsed by big audiences at the Co
lumbia.
The company presenting the comedy
could not be bettered. Fred Nihlo in
the role of Nat Duncan, the ''ne'er do
WE'LL" indicates comedy talents of a
high order. He is one of the best light
comedians seen on the local stage and
his popularity with his audiences at
the Columbia is great. AS Sam Graham,
the hapless druggist of the little viii
lage. Frank Bacon is giving a memoir
able characterization. Alma Belwin. as
Betty, Lento Fulwood as Josie Lock-
wood, the millionaire's daughter: Tom
Heffron, as Henry Kellogg and the rest
of the members of the company all
serve the needs of the bright comedy
which is making records at the Column
bia as it has wherever 1t has played.
