COL. GREEN'S GOING TO MARRY
Having Reached Age of Discretion
and Owns Millions There Is No
Reason for Longer Delay.

Having arrived at the age of dis
cretion-forty-thre Edward
H. R. Green of New York and Texas,
son of Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest
woman in the United States, is going
to get married in years time, ac-
cording to his own statement. Nine

started him in business, making him
a reailroad section hand, he promised
her that he would remain a bachelor
twenty years. He now owns the

his mothers property. Col Green
feels, therefore, that by the end of
his probationary period, which will
be next year, he will be in a position
to support wife; and so he is going
to get one. Whether he has made
his selection yet is not known, but he,
is quoted as saying that he has four
hundred proposals from which ia
choose-and he is doubtless right as
trivet. The colonel is especially
proud of his mother, as any man
might be of his mother who had
made millions in sharp competition
with the shrewdest business men in
the country. Mrs. Green has inst
turned 76.

SACREDNESS OF CONSTITUTION
JUST THE SAME TO HIM WHEN
MACON IS INVOLVED.

ATLANTA.-The constitution is
the same to Col. Joe Hall when Ma
con or Bibb county is involved. This
he proved very conclusively when
he fought vigorously in the appropri-
ations committee against the state
contributing $4,000 to be given as
prizes for exhibits made az the state
fairs of the next two years which will
be held in Macon.
The resolution appropriating the
money was offered by Representative
Holt7claw of Houston in lieu of
bill previously introduced appropri-
ating $4,000 for the erection of per-
manent state fair buildings in the
Central City.
1t provided that the state give to
the State Agricultural College $4,000
for each of the next two years, the
same to be used in Offering prizes for
agricultural exhibits at the state fair.
Unconstitutional, Says Hall.
The constitution clearly says that
we shall not appropriate any money
to an individual or private corpora
ton, declared Colonel Hall. THE
method set forth in this bill is moth
ing but subterfuge. 1t is unconsti-
tutional, and if it is passed it will
only be year or two before the peo-
pies money will be pouring into ev-
cry county site in Georgia for the
purpose of promoting fairs
1T makes no difference that it does
help Macon. A few days ago it was
suggested that the state erect build
ings in our city park. l said if Macon
couldn't improve it's park she didn' t
deserve to have any,"

WANT TO HEAR FROM HUDSON
Agricultural Department PrObers
Ask the Commissioner Why Re

ATLANTA.-The committee ere
ated to investigate the department of
agriculture has grown impatient.
1t has called upon Commissioner
Tom Hudson to notify the investigat-
ors when he can furnish the report
upon which the opening of the inves-
tigation will be based.
The committee, headed by the
chairman, Senator Bush, met for the
first time on July 80 and organized
At that time the committee asked the
commissioner of agriculture to fur
nish a detailed report of the condi-
ton Of his department. This report
was to be used as basis of the in
vestigation.
The committee met again Thurs
day afternoon and the report of the
commissioner of agriculture had not
been furnished the committee nor
had he notified the committee when
the report will be forthcoming. The
committee ordered their secretary,
w. J. Harris, to get the information
from the commissioner, resolution
being unanimously adopted to that
effect
1t will be recalled that the com
mittee on the day of it's organization
adopted a resolution by unanimous
vote asking for a detailed financial
statement of the department, with a
full list of all employees and salaries
and fees paid them. This information
was asked for only a period of five
years covering the incumbency in Of
flee of the present commissioner, and
the resolution specifically requested
that the commissioner furnish the
information before the adjournment
of the present session of the legisla-
ture.
No report has as yet been sent in,
and the failure to hear from Commits
sioner Hudson has created consider
able surprise around the legislature,

HALL DEFEATS APPROPRIATION FOR FAIR

Mr.. Holtzclaw admitted that to APP
propriate the money to the state ag-
ricultural society might be unconsti-
tutional, but insisted that it was
within the province of the legislature
to make appropriations to the uni
yersity and it's branches.
Il am for observing the constitu-
ton, said he, but when there is a
way to avoid it and do something
that will do good l am for avoiding
the dern thing"
This was pure heresy, sacrilege
and blasphemy to the ears of Hon.
Joe Hill Hall.
"Of course, we can appropriate
money to the university" he shout
ed, but that does not mean that we
can give 70 it the peoples money to
be used in Offering prizes for raising
chickens and jackasses."
1T turns out a good many of the
latter, anyhow, doesn't it?'' asked
Mr.. Upshaw of Douglas.
From some of those they send
here I should say they do" remark
ed Colonel Hall.
Advocate Measure.
Mr. Slade of Muscogee and Mr..
Cabaniss of Oglethorpe spoke for the
intent of the appropriation. They
said it was only for education; that
children alone didn't need to be aid
ed in that line. They said it would
spur the, farmers to raise more and
better live stock and grain crops,
thereby adding a great deal of new
wealth to the state.
Il hear lot of this talk about
raising cattle and hogs in Georgia, .
Mr.. Hall remarked. But let me tell
you we have been buying hogs from
the west as long as l can remember.
So long as we get II cents for cot
ton we are going to keep on buying
our meats, for it pays better to raise
cotton at that price than cattle. God
Almighty intended this for a cotton
country, and it is going to reamin
one"

as the investigating resolution was
fought on the ground that it con-
templated an indefinite investigation
which could not be completed by the
adjournment of the legislature.
The committee having specifically
requested that the information de-
sired from the commissioner be sub
mitted before the adjournment of the
legislature manifested it's willingness
to close the investigation just as soon
as it was supplied with the informa-
ton it thought it had right to
ask.

HARVESTER TRUST PATENTS
Millions Made by Revamping and
MOnOpOlizing Harvesting Machine
Used in the Early Ages.


By what means is not known but
perhaps merely through the illiteracy
of the patent office officials, Cyrus
Mccormick obtained a patent for a
harvesting machine. Instead of be-
ing a novelty, as the law requires, it
was in fact an ancient invention en-
ployed in the corn fields of Trace
long before the Christian era. Here
is the evidence from Pliny's Natural
History, book XVIII, Chapter Y:
The method of harvesting varies
considerably. In the vast domains of
the provinces of Gaul a large hollow
frame, armed with teeth and sup
ported on two wheels, is driven
through the standing corn, the
beasts being yoked behind it, the
result being that the ears are torn off
and fall within the frame.
The same machine is also describ-
ed by Palladius.
For revamping and monopolizing
this piece of antiquity, an effort of
ventor" has been rewarded not only
with an immense fortune but also
with the ungrudged praises of his
countrymen. 1t is an open question
whether the patent, if subjected to
rigid investigation, could be upheld,
in which case that 100000 which
Burdette c. Townsend of the depart
ment of justice reports was paid
merely for suggesting how this valu-
able monopoly could be incorporated
was paid for nothing.-Wall Street
Journal.

MONEY BUDGET COMPLETED
AFTER HARD FIGHT THE APPRO-
PRTATTON BILL is PASSED,

Big Change of Front When Common
School Fund Is Reached, the Most
Rigid EconOmizers Leaping Into
Fray to Spend More Money.
ATLANTA.-Peace brooded over
the house this morning when 1.-THE
committee of the whole began work
again on the appropriations bill, and
fingered until the section of the COM
mon school fund was reached.
Then the storm burst. Some gallant
gentlemen, who have appealed, ragged
and worked themselves into frenzy
in effort to shave down other appro-
prlations, rose up in numbers and
hurled amendments at the clerks
desk 10 increase the appropriation all
the way from $25, 900 to 500 600
it being left at the figures of last
year, $2,500,000, by the committee.
Finally the amendment to increase
the bill by 100000 for common
schools was adopted. The entire ap-
preparations. bill was completed, and
a later effort to kill the school in
crease was defeated by a vote of 104
to "a.
The first man to offer an amend
ment to boost the figures to $3.50
600 was Mr. Nix of Gwinnett, who
made the futile fight to prevent the
elevation of the common schools to
high school standards.
Mr.. Alexander of DeKalb, who has
become a lmOSt the lone fioI1ra foht-
ing to hold down appropriations,
struggled CALAMITY against the tide
Finally, aftetr DEBATE had eddied
and whirled for a good part of the
session, the house voted to put an
extra 100000 on the common
school fund, the amendment winning
by a vote of so to 81. The total
bill carries appropriations of S.
8S3,774.
The house had reached the section
devoted to appropriations for the de-
partment of agriculture when the
hour of adjournment for the morn
ing session was reached.
On this section Mr.. Alexander
wanted to know if the various items
in the appropriation to the depart
ment were given in a lump sum on
general warrant, or if a check was
kept on each. Chairman McElreath
informed him that he had as much
information on the subject as the
chairman himself.

Quick Getaway. Officials Unable
to Cope With n ew Situation.
NEW YORK.-The automobile as
an aid to criminals is likely to figure
prominently in future. Out in the
west it has been used for a year or
more by the robbers of village banks
and the hooters of postoffices. Now it
has begun to figure prominently in
this city. Two weeks ago a jewelry
store at Sixth avenue and Thirteen
street was robbed of tray contain
ing $4,000 worth of gems by one of
three men who had driven up to it in
a taxicab. The man smashed win
dow, distracted a tray of diamonds,
and shot dead the clerk who had
rushed to the door on hearing the
noise Of the broken glass. No trace
of the criminals has been found by
the police.
The next night a red taxicab. be-
lieVed to be the same and containing
three men, dashed into the village of
River Edge, a few miles from Hack
ensack, N. j., and while a severe
thunderstorm was raging the safe in
the postoffice was cracked and the
contents taken. The villagers learn
ed of the crime the next morning.
The next afternoon the same taxi
cab, apparently, appeared in Bleeck-
er street in this city and one of it's
occupants entered a shoe store and
held up the proprietor. Owing to a
miscalculation the robber was not
successful in obtaining any cash, but
he succeeded in escaping as did his
companions in the auto.
Great Criminal Possibilities.
This series of crimes in such quick
succession has alarmed the police,
who see vast possibilities in the auto
mobile as an aid to the criminal ele-
ment, and they feel utterly unable to
cope with the situation The auto
mobile criminals, as proven in the
jewelry store case, are prepared to
commit murder to protect themselves
from capture. A thing that makes the
hold-up man willing to draw his re-
volver is the ease with which he can
use his weapon without attracting at
IChClOH' n SAhSIG I6NOlFSI SuOJ OF
even volley of them in a city street
attracts very little attention now as
compared with few years ago. The
automobile is responsible for all of
this. All day and all night long, all
over the city, there are automobiles
giving forth explosions that sound
like revolver discharges. Persons in
the streets and in the houses have
been fooled with them so many times
that now one hardly turns his head
when he hears a crack like that of a
pistol.

PROGRAM
 FOR SPEECH MAKING
Four Principal Topics Will be Discussed
 Or Ills Western Tour.

Beverly. Aug. 25.-President Taft has selected some subjects on which he will speak on his western trip next month. He told callers today that peace. tariff. arbitration, currency re form. reciprocity. and conservation will probably form the nucleus of his speeches. He will make addresses on many other topics, but the subjects mentioned form the "big five around which speeches. he deems less inn portant. will be made.
 The position of the president in re gard to attempted tariff legislation at the special session. and at the forth coming general session, will furnish him material in plenty.
 The attitude of the senate toward the arbitration treaty with England and France is expected to call forth more arguments for popular support.
 The presidents program of rest was broken today by the visit by Frank P. Kellogg. former government trust buster and John Hays Hammond, but beginning next week. he will seek the rest cure. The Wiley case. the Ma tional City bank case. and the others will go oyer.
