He Has Notified Lessee Q
Purpose to Require Enforce
ment of Contract

1t was learned on reliable authority at
the capitol Saturday morning that Gov.
Hoke Smith is Unyielding in his deter
mination to require the lessee of the
Western and Atlantic railroad to observe
the letter of its lease contract with the
state in the matter of freight rates be-
ween Chattanooga, Tenn, and Georgia
points 1t is understood that the gov
ernor has notified the lessee of his pur-
pose to require the enforcement of the
contract and called upon it to indica.e
whether it proposes to abide the terms
of the contract.
The lease contract provides, in plain
terms, that the lessee of the Western and
Atlantic railroad shall obey the man.
dates of the state railroad commission
with reference to freight nd passenger
rates and schedules. 1t appears, how
ever, that the lessee has been-and still
is, making its rates over the Western
and Atlantic on the basis of the Southern
classification, which is considerably high
er than the Georgia classification, which
the commission has adopted.

is paid to them in some appropriate
form of public recognition.
w. H. Leahy has consented to take
charge of the transportation feature of
the show and is already making ar

derstood that the railroads will transport
the exhibits free, and it is Believed tn y
the express company will do the same.
Mr.. Leahy has assurance of a rate of
practically one fare for the round trip
to the corn show, based upon the old
8 cent per mile fare. Mr.. Leahy will
also organize a railroad committee to
cooperate actively with the executive
committee in working up a large at

COLUMBUS TO HAVE
BIG POULTRY SHOW

COLUMBUS, Ga, Oct. 2O.-Extensive
plans and preparations are being made

cogee county early in December. Presi-
dent ]. B. Banks, of the Columbus Poul-
try association, under which auspices the
big event is to be given, has just re-
turned from Macon, where he secured
many of the exhibits from the Georgia
state fair, to appear in the Columbus
show.
The management is to commence a
widespread advertising campaign at once
and every effort will be made to make
the affair one of the largest and most
interesting of it's kind ever given in this
section. Exhibits from Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee are
expected. Already many inquiries are
coming in from all sections of this and
adjoining states and all indications point
to a record attendance. Special rates
on the railroads will be provided.

A ton of cotton seed will yield from 40
to IS gallons Of oil. The amount secur-
ed by the oil mill will depends somewhat
on the variety, season and the locality in
which the seed is produced. The equip
ment of the mill will AFFECT the yield also,
as where the best type of machinery is
available, probably the more complete
extraction of the oil is obtained than in
the small mills where the machinery
may not always be of the latest type.
For instance, about S25 to $40 pounds Of
meal will probably be secured where a
grade is produced running rs per cent nj
trogen; and possibly 1000 pounds will
be made where the meal runs not over
els per cent. The amount of hulls will
vary from Z pounds upwards, while the
linters will run from IS to As pounds.
There is very little market for hulls at
the present time, as I understand the
situation. The meal is bringing from $23
to S25 a ton depending on the grade and
locality. The price Of the oil ranges from
70 cents to $1.25. The cost Of manufac-
turing of seed runs from 81 to IS.
am glad you had such good success
with your cotton, and that you feel the
instructions received have been of bene-
increasing the yield of farm crops and
permanently building up our soil If we
use what some are pleased to term scien-
tific methods. BY this mean the pur-
suit of lose lines of action which bring
the work Of the farm in accordance with
natures plan.

HOW FELICIA SHOWED HER

When Mrs Slidell, who lived across the street from the Trentons and had two marriageable daughters of her own. learned that young Dr. Baldwin was devoting himself assiduously to Felicia Trenton it troubled her
 Felicia is a good girl in many ways" she said confidentially to half a dozen of her most intimate friends, but she is certainly not the girl for struggling young physician to marry. While she has the appear ance of being a good manager and all that, and everybody knows that she simply runs things at home, it seems to me that it's more sign of bad temper than anything else. That poor little mother of hers just gives in to her because she knows there would be a tremendous fuss if she didn't. Of course, she seems to have so much attention from men, but you'll notice that none of them keep it up very long"
 You remember Tom Hays. don't y H. ing to her theme. "Of course, some people say to this day that he was desperately in love with Felicia, but to my own personal knowledge he never went near her the last time he was in town, and, in fact, l under stood from the very best authority that this was because she had jar of rouge sitting on the mantel ore night when he went there.
 Then there was George Gleason George did go there a great deal and seemed perfectly devoted, l know that they were almost enC red and one morning he went there NXpect- edly. She had been doing scme work around the house and had on h' mono and dreadful old slippers and her hair up in curl papers. and all that sort of thing, and George just turned around and went away and never went back again"
 It was odd. and of course" very un- fortunate, that Mrs. Slidell should have been taken so III as to require the services of physician just at the time when her own family doctor was out of town Felicia Trenton laughed when she happened to look out of the window and see the doctor going up the Slidell front steps 10 make pro fessional call She laughed again when she met him at her own door.

 What did she say about me-" she asked.
 'Who-" the doctor began. Then he. too. laughed "Conceited young woman he said; what makes you think she said anything about you?"

 It was some weeks later that Feli- cia met Mrs Siidcll just coming out of Dr Baldwin oiIice Mrs. Slidell seized Felicia's hand in an affection ate grasp.

SENATE .ADJOURNS
 UNTIL MONDAY

'iS AeOShs AIJlll AJ' W II only thirteen left of the session and a multitude of important bills pending, the Senate pursued its lmmemorial custom of adjourn ing at noon Friday until Monday morning. Among the important bills that are hanging fire in ..the Senate is the general appropria- tion bill, which might easily have been passed. As it is, the bienni- al perion expires Sunday, April 50, and until the bill is passed, there will not be cent available, even when there is any in h e treasury, to carry out the affairs of the state government.
 One of the most important mat ters discussed by the Senate Fri day is the bill increasing the powers of the Tax Commissioner and 1t was most strenuously op- posed by Senator Friedell, who contended that it was against the interest of the honest taxpayer. He resented the imputation against the citizens of the state that they are perjurers, liars ana tax dodgers, and said the, whole tenor of legislation for the Tax Commission is toward despotic centralization of power in it's hands.
 Senator Keel also opposed. the bill, He referred to the old Ro- man system of public improve ment and taxation, anh said; We have an executive who is trying to do by indirection what Julius Caesar did by direction is building a three million dollar state capitol, one that will last for hundred years, and make this generation pay for it."
 The morning hour expired be- fore a vote was reached. Tbe sec tionS added to the law are as fol. lows: Should the COIL mission find it necessary in equalizing the assessments of the state to raise in the aggregate the valua. tion of the realestate or of any personalproperty in any town, city, school district or county, school district or county are not capitalized and that by such a raise in the aggrepate of valua- tion suce given per cent the as sessments of any individual tax payer in the town, city, school
 
 district or county, as the case may be, is increased to a point where the same is above the true and full value in money of h e property of such tax payer t h e mission shall have power and it is hereby made. it's duty after it has made such raise of valua- tion in the aggregate to reduce the assessment of such individu- al tax payer to a point where 1t will not be above the true and full value in money of the property.
 If any real or personal prop erty be omitted in the assess ment of any year and such omis, sien is discovered before the col lector closed his books fer that year, it shall be the duty of the county assessor or Tax Commits sion, as the case may be, to as sess such omitted property for said year, and the county clerk shall extend the taxes against the same on the tax books. {"
