.HOKE SMITH AT
VAID0STA MEET
DELIVERED AN ABLE ADDRESS
ATacoNvENTioN OF COUNTY
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

Atlanta, May 4. Governor elect
Hoke Smith. delivered a strong ad-
dress at the convention of county
school commissioners at yaldosta to-
day. He said in part:
"The possibilities of the farm in
Georgia are unlimited, and the task
of helping to develop those VITO are
to handle these possibilities is in
spring.
THE ideal school system will not
exist until each county through local
taxation establishes one system of
schools for the entire county, but this
condition. will come slowly and the
task is largely on you to see that
progress is made with the schools as
they now exist.
'The work of the rural schools can
not be accomplished by mere in
struction in reading, writing and
arithmetic, grammar. geography and
history. Tie children must be taught
those things that appertain to rural
life in order that their powers of
observation and creation may be syirn-
ulated with reference to the things
which will be connected with their
future.
THE rural school Should be made
as far as possible the center OF amuse-
ment and study for the parents as
we'll as fer the children.
"The county school commissioners
and rural teachers must themselves
feel the deepest interest in rural life,
and be ready to acuire and teach all
knowledge possible with reference to
it, if they are to he successful work
ers."

NO WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES LAW
CLERK EDWIN w. DART, OF THE
oRDINARY's COURT Ex-
PLAINS THE LAW.

Editor BrunsE;ck News:
Dear Sir-l our editorial this date
| on weights and measures was read
with interest, and as you and the
public are entitled to the facts as
they concern this county, / cheerfully
| furnish them.
This county had standard weights
and measures many years ago and
they were destroyed in some manner
unknown to the writer; the ordinary's
office has repeatedly requested the
governors of the state to furnish the
stendard weights and measures for
Glynn county, and each request was
not complied with because the execu-
tive office informed us that there
was no appropriation and no avail
able funds that could be used for the
procuring of those weights and meas
ures.' sl1xYsy
The law reads as follows: "The
governor si1all procure standards of
weights and measures FIR each cccn-
ty Which does not have them, and
they, together with the marks provid-
ed by the ordinary, shall be kept in
his office for the inspection of the
citizens. The marks referred to
being stamp or seal placed on each
measure or weight inspected and
found to be true according to the
standards established by congress.
After these standards OF weights
and measures are furnished by the
SoNeHnor each person or firm using
weigi is and measures shall apply to
the ordinary's Office for the stamping
OF their measures and weights, and
in def9ult thereof shall not collect
more than three.fourths of any ac-
cor I. note or other evidence of debt
contracted by parties trading with
such person or firm; any citizen may
complain to the ordinary of the de-
ficiency of any weights and measures,
whether marked or unmarked, and it
is then the duty of the ordinary to
compel such party to submit his
measures or scales for testing and
if found short or incorrect, such seller
10 ltdule W luulCllueUI as IOr mis-
demeanor.
TIE ordinary's Office needs these
weights and measures and they
should be furnished us; we feel that
We have fulfilled our duty when we
apply to the executive officer whom
the law says must furnish such
weights and measures. 1t is to our
interest to have them as we are al
lowed a small fee for stamping each
weic't and measure.
If the governor has an appropriation
or available funds for such purpose
he should furnish lis with these stan
dard weights and measures; if no
such fund is available then it is Ble
duty Of the legislature to set aside
| sufficient funds to furnish each county
with such standards, therefore, if
| there is any censure for the condition
of this county in this matter may it
rest with those responsible therefor
Very truly yours.

MEXICO CITY IS
THREATNED FOR
REBEL ATTACK
INTERVENTION BY THE UNITED
STATES MORE PROBABLE !,
THAN EVER BEFORE. NE
State Of Affairs in Mexico Seems to
BE Getting Worse Every Hour and
Fighting Continues About as Bad
as Ever.

Washington, May 4.-Intervention
by the United States in Mexico seems
nearer today than ever tefore. -,
If the state of affairs in Mexico
becomes any more chaotic than they
are reported to be today the army
at San Antonio will probably be flung
across the .ordC.' unexpectedly and
this invasion will probably take place
in the immediate future. This is
positively admitted in official circles
today.
President Taft, although he is much
opposed to Intervention, is being rapid
ly forced into such a position that he
is compelled to give the necessary
orders for such a step on the part of
this government, although such direc-
tions will be very unwelcome to him.
1t is believed that Intervention by
the United States will likely mean
war with both the Federals and the
Rebels in Mexico, who are said to be
ready to make common cause against
an invasion of their country by the
Americans. in order to protect their
property in that country The Ameri-
cans in Mexico are insisting that the
United States come to the defense
of their lives and property
Wall street. which has countless
millions invested in Mexico is also
exerting a tremendous pressure on
the government to protect the invest
ments made in that country I,
