Uncle Obadiah Stevens Really
Must Give Up That Candy

ton defied the Commission, claiming that
no repairs were necessary, and stating
defiantly that none would be made.
Then Guyt McLendon published his
celebrated letter to Major Joseph B.
Cumming, in which occurred the phrase,
Take a seat, Major, and let's talk II
over,''-the Major being general counsel
for the Georgia Railroad. and a most
redoubtable old fighter. as well as
most courteous and accomplished gentle
man.
Shortly afterwards. Mr.. Scott. the Cen
eral Manager of the Georgia Railroad,
reported briefly that the repairs which
he claimed to be unnecessary. and which
he had declared emphatically that he
wouldn't make, had been duly made, as
ordered by the Commission.
Thus, you see, the official report OF
Obadiah Stevens was shown to be utterly
false. His attempted whitewash of the
Georgia Railroad was not only condemn
ed by the people and by the Commission,
but was repudiated by the Georgia Rail-
road itself
Don't you consider il a supreme piece
of impudence for such a man TO ask
a reelection at the hands Of the people
whom he betrayed? Don't you think II

should be sending out letters TO arouse
lawyers?
Bad lawyers are. Of course, TO be con-
demned; but good lawyers have. through
out the ages, been the champions OF
civic freedom. Patrick Henry was
lawyer, and so were Thomas Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson.
Boys, as Uncle ODE is so much Of a

that he must be tired of city life. ! am

and the cows low and the chickens crow.

JNO. H. HAMMOND MAKES
STRONG DEFENSE OF TAFT

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Aug. 2O.-With the
statement that President Taft was one
of the ablest and most sagaciOus of the
executives of the United States. John
Hays Hammond made a vigorous defense
of the administration today at the an
nual outing of the Cuyahoga county
league of Republican clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr.. Taft's sup
port of the Aldrich-Cannon section Of the
party on the ground that if he plunged
into Republican civil war his four
years of Office would have been barren
of results and none of his campaign
pledges could have been carried out. Mr..
Hammond said in part:
"The people have come to regard
President Taft as a man of indomitable
courage and inhexible determl nation. In
the early part of his administration 1t
used to frequently be asserted that Presi-
dent Taft did not understand the politi-
cal game. 1t is quite true that he does
not play good politics" according to
the conception of pothouse politicians, in
that he does not subordinate questions of
national Importance to those of party
expediency, or even to those of self-ag-
grandizement; but recent events must
have impressed It on the minds of all
critics that the president has a master
full grasp of political affairs and of po-
Iitical methods.
"It has also been asserted by critics
of the administration that the president
was being unduly influenced and i'm
posed upon by what was alleged to be
the unroly Cannon-Aldrich alliance.
CRITICISED UNJUSTLY.
He has been criticised severely for
having any intercourse with that fac
ton of the party; but, fortunately, the
president has wisely preferred not to
assume a self-righteous attitude and not
to decline the cooperation Of Republi-
cans of whatever faction when such as
sistance would avail to insure the enact
ment of needed legislation.
ut required admirable moral courage
and far-sighted craftsmanship for Presi-
dent Taft to pursue the course he had to
pursue. Any other course would have
resulted in four years of futile Repub-
lican administration"
Mr. Hammond asserted that all talk
of a new party was abrurd, as such a
movement would die at it's birth for lack
of popular support. He declared there
was no possibility of any man save Mr..
Taft receiving the next Republican
for president and secuted the
idea of the Democrats obtaining control
of congress on account of what he
termed their absolute failure to offer the
people any definite program.

ROOSEVELT DENIES

sage to President Taft as
Tissue of FaISehood

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 20.-Theodore
Roosevelt denied emphatically today that
he had sent an ultimatum to President
Taft demanding that the president break
with vice President Sherman.
Colonel Roosevelt's attention was call
ed to a report to the effect that Lloyd
c. Griscomb, chairman Of the New York
Republican committee, was to go to the
summer capital next week to "earry the
terms of peace between Beverly and
Sycamore Hill" The report had it that
sherman was chiefly responsible for the
action of the state committee in refusing
TO select Colonel Roosevelt as tempo
rary chairman of the New York state
Republican Convention.
II have sent no ultimatum to President
Taft" Colonel Roosevelt said THE re-
port is a tissue of falsehood from begin
ming to end and has no warrant in fact"
The colonel added that he had not sent
Mr.. Griscom or anyone else to Bever-
ly on any mission. He made it clear
that he had no intention of doing so and
recognized no situation which could call

There are various mixtures on the mar

three months old is to provide ii with
an abundance OF good pasture. Ber-
muda sod will answer very well for this
purpose, but in it's absence give any
green feed that may be available. The
feed should be fairdy matured or it
will be too watery to supply enough
nourishment to be of any material value.
If the colt is confined with the dam
in the vicinity of the feed it will soon
learn to nibble on It, The best grain
for a colt is oats This grain contains
the nutrients needed by young animals
i'm about the right proportion, and when
supplied to the dam, the colt will quickly
learn TO eat some of it as WELL As
AS soon as they acquire the taste then
they may be fed separately from the
dam. OF course, overlooking is to be
avoided, but it is important to teach the
colt to eat grain as soon as possible
not only to induce it to grow more rap
idly, but to provide against the time of
weaving, which will he at the end of
five or six months. When the colt has
been taught to eat grain, the weaving
process may be effected with much less
danger TO it's welfare. Green feed in
one form or another will be found USE
full at the time of weaving. Rock salt
should also be provided. and plenty OF
good clean water.
1 am glad to see an interest develop
ing in horse breeding in your section of
the state and hope the time will come
when all the work needed on our farms
will be bred here at home as it should
be.

store for rs cents to 81. It holds about
quart of the liquid and distributes it
evenly over the hair which is a great
advantage. Since flies breed in manure,
you should be careful to have all litter
and trash removed from the vicinity OF
your stable and lot and covered with
soil as soon as you reasonably can. In
this way the number of flies will be
greatly lessened.

Almost any of the improved breeds Of
poultry can be, raised in Georgia with
success. The owner will have more to
do with the results obtained from a
given breed than anything else. In
other words, the care and skill with
which the individuals are selected and
fed and handled will make or mar the
profits in this business as quickly as In
any other business. Among the best
egg-laying breed are the Leghorns. and
the Minorcas; the meat breeds are rep
resented by the Brahma and Cochin; and
the general purpose fowls by the Ply
mouth Rocks and Wyandotte. A COM
paratively new breed which is finding
much favor is the Buff Orpington. The
white Leghorns and Barred Rocks both
do well in this state, and you need not
hesitate to select them as the foun-
dation for your business.
Among the troubles which afflict poul-
try are lice, mites, gapes, roup, sore
head and cholera. These pests and dis
eases can be controlled by taking them
IN time but they are liable to cause
serious loss to the poultry owner who
does not understand their nature and
treatment The amount of land need
ed will depend altogether on the num-
Der OF chickens you expect to keep. You
can keep q fine flock of so to 100 hens
on a half acre tract If 1t is properly
divided off, so as to give a rotation of
green feed and different paddocks in
which to conflne the chickens at GER
tain seasons. 1 do not think a man
would be likely to make a good living
out of the business the first year If he
had no experience to commence with.
Theer are large profits in IT, but like
everything else IL requires skill and at
tention, and the man learns better how
to handle and manage it as his years of
experience increase. Probably the best
thing for you to do is to purchase Wat
sons book on Farm Poultry, published
by theMacmillan Co., New York. N Y.
Doubleday, Page & Co., New York, have
also published one or two books which
you would find useful. There have not
been a large number of bulletins issued,
but you can possibly obtain two or three
farmers bulletins by writing to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture Washington, d.
c., which will give you considerable
information which you will find valua-
