Governor Elect Smith
In Big Demand.

Atlanta, Ca, April 11.-GovernOr
elect Hoke Smith, who is strongly in
favor of income taxation, has just
been compelled by stress of other
engagements to decline an invita-
ton to deliver an address on that
subject before the Florida state
senate, extended him by the chair
man of the senate committee on the
proposed constitutional amendment.
Said Hoke Smith, Il regret my
inability to to accept your invitation,
but earnestly hope that the legisla-
ture of Florida will adopt the
measure"
Mr.. Smith has also been compelled
to decline an invitation to speak
before the National Democratic
Club of Indianapolis, next Thursday.
Three governors were invited to
speak at that dinner, Smith, Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, and Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey, all in
vited presumably, because they
are supposed to be presidential pos
sibilities.

National Highway
"Short Route" Meeting

Tonight at Douglas the good
road advocates who favor the short
route, by Hawkinsville, Fitzgerald,
and Waycross will hold one of the
most important meetings yet held
in the interest of that route. Fitz-
gerald, Douglas, Waycross, Folks
town, Fernandina, Brunswick and
Savannah will be represented and
they will pass on several important
questions, one of which will be the
construction of a bridge across the
St. Mary's river.
Necessary steps will be taken for
the completion of the short route
and putting the same in the best con-
ditiOn possible and at the earliest
possible date.
The route is now probably the
best roadway, everything considered,
between Macon and Jacksonville
and is decidedly the shortest and
most direct. The country through
which the route has been surveyed
is the most rapidly developing Sec
ton of the state and South. The
character of the soil is the best
known for modern road building;
sand and clay, as far South as Way
cross and oyster shells handy be-
yond the St. Mary's. The weak
links in the route can be easily and
will be promptly strengthened.

The SOuthern's Good Work.

Atlanta, Ga, April 9-The extent
to which the Railways of the South
eastern States are aiding in the
material development of this sect
ion may not be generally understood.
Some interesting light is thrown
upon this by the report of the South
srn Railway Company to the Inter
state Commerce Commission for the
year ended June 80, 1910, which
shows that that Company expended
for the work of its Landand Indusri.
al Department in cooperation with
communities. commercial organiZa-
tons and individuals along its line
a total of $50, 451. being more than
the amount expended by any one OF
the principal railway companies Of
the United States for this purpose,
with q single exception.
Since the end of the last fiscal
year, the period covered by the sta
tistics, the Southern Railway Compa-
ny has considerably enlarged the
work of it's Land and Industrial
Department and has supplemented
it by the organization of a Cotton
Culture Department, devoted ex-
clusively to cooperating with the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment and the agricultural COM
missioners of the States in efforts
to bring about larger average
yield of cotton per acre and to adj
wise the farmers as to the best
methods of growing cotton in spite
of the Mexican cotton boil weevil
in localities where theinsect is pres
ent.
In addition to this, steps are now
being taken still further to enlarge
the cooperative development work
of the Company and increase its
efficiency.

Uncle Sam Exactins Employer

Atlanta, Ga, April 13,-While
Uncle Sam is reputed to be a
liberal employer and to pay gener-
GUS prices for most of the work
done for him, The fact is" says an
Atlanta railroad man, that the old
gentlemen exacts several million
dollars worth of service a year from
the railroads of the country for
which he makes no returns what
ever" This includes among other
things the transfer of mail from
stations to nearby post offices.
Such work of course is entirely
distinct from railroad transporta-
ton and it would cost the Govern
ment $4,393,OOO annually if it
were performed by contractors
according to the estimate made by
the Postmaster General himself.
The Government also requires
the railways to carry postal clerks
free of charge, not only while en-
gagged in handling the mail but
also when returning home from the
ends of their runs. No payment is
made for the handling of apart
ment mail cars beyond the regular
allowances based on the weight of
the mail carried, and there are
$500 of these cars devoted to the
free use of the Post Office depart
ment. Although the passengers
travelling on fast limited trains such |
as eighteen hour trains between
New York and Chicago, pay a |
special rate for their Accommodations,
the mail carried on these trains is
paid for at the same rate as though |
it travelled by the slowest local
trains

How Many Nuisances Do
You Keep Around You?

It's a fair question. We have no
criticism to make as to the attacks
of President Barrett and others on
the gambling cotton Exchanges.
But the real question up to you is
how many of these thieving-noW--
productive plants of cotton, corn
and other crops are growing on your
place every year-plants are you
fertiliZing and cultivating at loss,
even if cotton was selling for SOC a
pound? We don't believe there is
one cotton-grower in every thousand
that ever looked at it this way
before; but it's a vital question just
the same. It's true, thieving plants
steal your profits great deal more
than all the gambling cotton ex-
changes in the world; even if every
one of them is as black as painted.
Don't mistake us. We are not de-
Tending the exchanges, but we are
calling your attention to the fact
that it is of vital importance to you.
1t is possibly well enough for
ignorant negro renter to plant, Gull
tivate and harvest cotton from two
to six boil plants. But Wiregrass
Georgia farmers can't afford to plant
an acre in common seed, or even
so-called improved seed, after it
has had two years handling in the
modern system of gins.

kidnapping Charge Against
Young Sykes Dismissed

j. A. Sykes, the young man from
Waycross who eloped to Douglas
Monday with the 14-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. M. D. Holt, whom ne had
married Sunday afternoon here IN
FITZGERALD, was released from the
custody of Sheriff Norris late Tues
day afternoon and was Immediately
Joined by his young bride.
Mr.. Holt withdrew the charge OF
kidnapping which he had lodged
against Mr. Sykes, and upon which
the young man and his bride had
been arrested near Douglas and
brought here and the young man
lodged in Jail.
The bride refused to return home
to her parents. and they concluded
that it was useless to force her to,
and that it was probably best to
stop legal proceedings and let the
young couple 60 their way in peace.
After being reunited Tuesday
evening they went to Mrs. Wilcoxs
Grant-street boarding house, where
they were married Sunday, and
spent the night.
Wednesday morning they left on
the 6 o'clock A., B. & B. train fol-
Waycross, where they will remain
few days and 90 to Florida, where
| Mr.. Sykes will resume his labors as
an industrial insurance solicitor.
The license on which they were
married was procured in Coffee
county. The groom was too foxy tc
apply to Ordinary Wise, who knew
the girls age.
