That the gospel Of better agricu'-
ture which is being preached in the
southern states Is bearing fruit is
shown In legislation recently passed by
the Kentucky legislature authorizing
the establishment Of new and fully
equipped agricultural college, headed
by DR.. NJ. 4. Scoville, who will be sup
ported by ii staff Of thirty-nine profess
sors. The benefits resulting from such
an institution. wisely and intelli@ently
managed, can hardly be measured.

The nub Of the argument against the
artificial col9ring Of oleomarg,rin' is
to be found in the claim Of lis opno-

the coloring matter is to deceive the

butter fat when in reality he is only
getting beef grease and cottonSeed oil.

A man who employs farm labor
doesn't need to be with his employees
more than a couple Of weeks to form
pretty definite opinion as to those men
having the stuff in them to make suf-
flcient Roadway some day to own
farms Of their own. The hired man
who Is slack, Indifferent as to how he
does his work and soldiers when the
boss isn't looking, 1t is pretty safe to
assume, will continue to be just this
kind of unsatisfactory help all his
days. II he should by chance have a
wife and children dependent Oh him
it Is fair to assume that the former
will have to take In sewing and wash
ing to earn enough money to ciothe
and educate the children. This chap
referred to is not only a worthless
stick for any man to hire, but poor
excuse as husband and provider and
of little or no worth in the community
In which he lives.
There is a sort Of terrible irony to
be found in the fact that some of the
severest losses in both life and prop
erty in the forest fires which ragged
for weeks in several Of the western
states occurred In those states whose
representatives in congress voted to
reduce or at least opposed an increase
in the appropriation which was asked
by the forest service for patrols and
equipment to be used In the prevention
and extinguishing Of forest fires. 1t is
safe to say that the idiocy Of this Mig
gardly course is now apparent to the
most thick pated in congress and that
when an appropriation is called for in
the future it will be granted ungrudg-

The great farm cry now is not
more land, but more fertile land,
and the only solution in successful
future farming is in the increased
fertility Of the soil. 1t must be made
more fertile. Future human food

the leaves of maple tree. The senti-
ment Is a rather attractive one and
quite generally held, but the fact
seems, on the contrary, to be that the
leaves Of deciduous trees take on most
beautiful colors when there are no
frosts whatever. The present autumn
gives nice illustration Of the truth OF
the above statement, as soft naples
and even bur oaks have shown con-
siderable color when In seasons Of
early frost they frequently show no
color at all.

Gilmer County Killing
Held to be Justifable.

Captain Fred Morris went Up to
Elliiay to represent Charlie and
Dock Griggs at the preliminary
trial charged with the killing of their
cousin Arthur Griggs, week before
last.
The Ellijay Times says that Ar
thur Griggs was at the home of his
aunt, Mrs. Geo. Dotson, five miles
from Ellijay, when Dock came and
called him out and Charlie joined
them they went to the barn, The
next to attract attention was two
pistol shots. Charlie did the shoot
ing to save bis life he says, as Ar
thur was coming at him with knife.
But the brothers escaped, having
no marks of violence, while the de-
ceased had a cash in his back
eight inches long commencing on
back of arm and extending across
the back. The first shot missed, the
second striking the heart killing him
instantly. Arthur is son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Jim Griggs, of Copperhill,
Tenn, while Charlie and Dock are
sons of Mrs. Lizzie Griggs At the
trial Thursday the Justice held that
the killing was iustifiable and the
prisoners were turned loose.

LEGISLATURE TO MEET
ON WEDNESDAY, 18TH
Gov. Hoke Smith May Go
to Senate and Brown
Run for Governor.

The Legislature will meet on the
28th and its most important work
will be the election of a United States
Senator to succeed Senator Clay.
Senator Terrell, who was appoint.
ed to fill the vacancy, and whose
health has been such that he could
not attend to the duties of the office
has returend from Washington and
opened headquarters from which he
will conduct his campaign. 1t is
said that he has been advised by
some of his friends to stay out of
the race but has declined to do so.
The general impression seems to
be that Governor Smith will be cleo
cted, probably on the first ballot. In
that event Governor Brown will, in
all likelihood, be a candidate for gov
ernor at the special election which
will be ordered.
The first work of the Legislature,
after organization will be the inaug-
uratiop of Governor Smith. John
N.Holder, of Jackson, will be elected
Speaker of the House and John
NJ Slaton of Fulton will be elected
president of the Senate. By virtue
of his office Mr.. Slaton will become
Governor for two months inthe event
Governor Smith resigns to go to the
! United States Senate. Mr.. Slaton
will naturally be a candidate for
Governor in the special election.
Many Of Governor Brown S follow
ers are also friends of Mr.. Slaton and
there may be some division in the
Brown wing of the party on that ac-
count. 1t is possible that Judge
Dick Russell may enter the race. So
far no man in the Smith faction has
announced his intention to run.
Colonel Tom Hudson, Commits
sioner of Agriculture, is understood
to be candidate but he hasn't been
;onspicuously identified with either
faction.
If Governor Smith is elected to
the Senate and resigns the governor
ship special election will be ordered
to take place in sixty days thereafter
and during that time Mr.. Slaton will
be governor, just as Boynton was
governor after the death of Alexan-
der H. Stephens.
With Governor Smith inargurated
the next step will be the election
of Senator.
The law provides that the legisla-
ture shall, on the second Tuesday
after the meeting and organization
proceed to elect a senator. Each
house shall name a person by viva
voce vote; the next day at noon the
two houses shall meet in joint as
sembIy and if the same person shall
have received majority of all the
votes in each house, he shall be
declared elected.
limo person receive a majority the
Joint assembly shall choose by viva
voce vote; and whoever receives
majority of all the votes shall be de-
clared elected. If no person lie
elected the joint assembly shall con.
vene and take one ballot each day
until senator is elected. Under
this provision the legislature will
have been in session fourteen days
when the first ballot is taken.
Judge Chas. H. Brand, of the wes-
tern circuit, may be candidate for
governor of Georgia in the event that
Hon. Hoke Smith is elected to the
United States senate, and the place
is to be filled by another election.
The fishing line will soon be the
opular chord.

ID. Presley, a ''geechee" negro, who was
tried for breaking and entering the
warehouse of the Stearns & Culver Co.

Year ago and his case was reversed by
the supreme court and a new trial
granted He was again convicted this
week in a trial that lasted over two
days. Presley was a trusted night
Waterman and the punches on his
clock gave him away, for 1t showed
several punches not given from mid :
night until four o'clock. Judge An
drews sentenced him to three years in
state prison at hard labor.
Another case of importance was
that Of Junior Jackson and Alfred

a razor and took several dollars from
his pocket in daylight near Freeport
They were two Louisiana negroes.

state prison.
Buford Wynn, also colored, was con
victed of assault with intent to MUIR

Another case wasr that of Gordon

evidence being very positive and ac-
cumulative Chambers tried to preach
little sermon but his discourse was
cut short by sentence of twelve

BOYS KILL A
RATTLE SNAKE
ARTHUR w. DAVIS, COUNTY CON-
MISSIONER FROM DISTRICT NO.
a. TELLS OF EXCITING ExPE-
RIENcE OF TWO SMALL SONS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

Commissioner Arthur w. Davis, of
district No. 4, was in the city yester-
day afternoon and had a brand new
snake story to tell his friends. How
ever, Mr.. Davis tells this one with all
seriousness and says that he can vouch
for the truth of it.
Mr.. Davis says that Sunday after
noon his two small boys were walking
along the road near his place when
they heard an unusual sound and
stopping to listen, one of them soon
discovered a large rattlesnake only a
few feet distant
Each of the boys Immediately armed
himself with stick and proceeded to
attack the reptile with the result that
they succeeded in killing It. The rep
tile measured five feet, six inches in
length, and was one of the largest
snakes killed in that vicinity.
