guest of the Atlanta Chamber of Com

Southern Corn Show on Legislation

ture," and while in the citl will be hand
someiy entertained. The University club
will give him a reception and he VIII re-
ceive a genuine Georgia welcome.
The invitation which has been accepted
by Governor Harmon was first EXTENDED
him for the Southern Corn Show by DR..
H. Il. Stockbridge chairman OF the COM
mittee on program. From the first he
has been disposed to accept the invita-
ton, but for a time IT appeared that
other engagements might prevent him
from coming.
Governor Smith. who is personal
friend of Governor Harmon, was request
ed to take the matter up with him. and
did so by long distance telephone a few
nights ago. The result of that converse
ton, over 200 miles of wire, was that
Governor Harmon took the matter under
Amusement and Friday wired his accept
ance to Governor Smith.
Governor Harmon has long been identi-
fed with agricultural interests, and DR..
Stockbridge. as representative or the
southern corn snow met MN at TIC va
tional Corn Show in Columbus. Ohio,
about aGnonth ago, when the subject OF
his visit TO Atlanta was first taken up.
The day of Governor Harmon's visit
will be the great day of the corn show.
wednesday December 6. has been fixed
for the great Corn club parade, headed
by King Corn and a long series Of floats
setting forth In an artistic way the life
history of the corn plant from the time
the seed bed is prepared to Its f1nal
manufacture into various food products
In that parade there will be from LOON
to 1900 Corn club boys, quite number
of whom have grown as much as TO-
bushels per acre. Already exhibits are
assured from every southern state easl
of the Mississippi river, and large at
tendance as well as a large number
exhibits is well assured. 1t Is believed
that fully 100000 people win see the great
Corn club parade of that day, and thou
sands will come TO hear Governor Har-
mon, as II viii be his first public ap-
pearance IN many mon1ns.

DEATH OF GEN. r. s. GARRETT.
Fifty years ago today Brig. Gen. Rob

Confederate forces in northwest Virgihia,
lay dead killed the day before while di-
recting in person the fighting of the rear
guard on the retreat after the Federal
victory at Rich mountain He was the

forces occupied Beverly and cut on es-
cape in that direction. had taken rough
country road running northward from
Leadsvi1le over Cheat mountain into the
Cheat river valley.
BY this route he hoped 70 turn the
mountain ranges at their northern ex-
tremity, and by a very long detour, re-
gain his communications. The road was
barely wide enough for a single wagon
and what with the recent heavy rains
and the wheels of the wagons and gun
carriages was almost impossible.

CLAY COUNTY WILL
IMPROVE HIGHWAYS

FORT GAINES, Ca, Nov. 1.-THE
county commissioners of Clay county
have ordered an election to be held on
December z for the purpose of the citi-
zens voting on bonds to improve the
public highways of the county.
1t is the desire of the county to float
10000 in bonds. which will be used in
putting in splendid condition all the pub
lie highways of the county.
This issue was voted on in 1907, but
was lost at that time on account Of
the small poll of voters, but as the
election is to be held this year on the
same day as the state primary, it is
believed that a sufficient number of the
qualified voters of the county win go
to the polls and vote on the important
question of the bond issue. The most
Conservative citizens of Clay county
believe that a majority of the voters
of the county are in favor of the bond
issue.

Record Flowing

The worlds record in plowing
was eclipsed at the Indiana ex-
pertinent station, Purdue univer-
sity, on Saturday, October Ia,
when three Oilpull traction en-
gines lhitched to one unit of 50
plows turned a stubble field at
the rate of one acre every four
minutes and 10 seconds.
Fifty years ago a farmer with
his team of oxen toiled from
dawn to sunset to break ap acre
of ground. Often one man was
required to drive the team, while
another held the clumsy plow,
walking more than ten miles each
acre. Today, through the devel-
opment of modern machinery, IA
is possible in the same number or
miles of travel to pillow 20 acres
and in the same period of time 20
turn almost a quarter section.
This monster machine of so IA.
inch plows in single unit, uulled
by three powerful oil-burning en-
gines, cuts a strip nearly so feet
wide, and needs only four men TO
operate it, The former worio s
blowing record was made during
the motor contest at Brandon,
Manitoba. Canada, in 1903, by b.
G. Baker, Canadian manager ror

nor belt. he speeded 1t up to 3.s9
miles per hour and plowed an acre
in seven minutes and IS seconds
Think what mechanical power

race in the way of cheaper bread.
These oil burning engines were
operated on a low grade of kerr
osene distillate costing but cents
per gallon. The three engines con
sumed a total of % gallons per
hour, reducing the fuel cost to
less than 6 IL cents per acre, To
do work equal to the capacity
of this monster cOntrivance 100
men, 200 horses ana SO plows
would be required; an investmenr
i'm equipment and power of nearly
$50. 900. payroll of $50 per day.
and a cost for board and feed of
1875 per day.
