Horses for Style.
From ,he Manchester Union

With the advent of the automobile pints
Of near-tears and quarts of editorial ink
were shed for grief at the impending ex-
tinction OF the horse as motive power.
It is true that the employment OF automo-
biles has now become quite general. and
that their popularity has increased at q
remarkable rate. Men and women have
sold their horses and bought automobiles,
buff the horses have been sold there
must have been purchasers. and people
DO not. as rule, buy horses, except for
use: so IL would appear that the use of
horses has not been materially lesscned
on account of these transfers. Again, 1t

THE recent rains have brought up the

FARMERS TO MEET

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
FITZGERALD, Ca, June 1O.-The an
nual convention of the Georgia division
of the Farmers Educational and Co
operative union will be called to order
in this city one week from Tuesday.
From all indications the melting will be
one of the most largely attended and
enthusiastic in the history of the organ
ization.
The advance guard of members of the
union are expected to reach the city
Monday week when the annual meeting
of the Union Phosphate company will be
held The convention proper will be
called to order on the Tuesday follow
ing, although there will be a number
of committee meetings on Monday.
ELECT NEW PRESIDENT.
The principal business before the con-
yention will be the election of a sue
cessor to President Emmett Cabaniss,
who was elected at the last convention
in Union City. Although the term OF
President Cabaniss does not expire until
July, it will be necessary for the union
to name a new president, as the present
chief executive will take his seat in the
Georgia legislature on June Is, and 1t is
one of the bylaws of the Farmers
union that no state official can be an
officer in the union.
1t is for this reason that the annual
convention will meet nearly 80 days
earlier this year. so that a successor
will be elected to President Cabaniss be-
fore he shall assume his duties in the
legislature.
The administration of President Caba-
Miss has been one of the most successful
in many years, and he Is held in the
highest esteem by the members of the
organization.
INTERESTING REPORTS
It is expected that the reports this
year will prove among the most interest
ing ever submitted, as the union is now
In, the most flourishing condition. A
number of important matters for the
future benefit of the organization vii
be taken up The three days session OF
the convention will be a busy one.
Fitzgerald is making elaborate prepare
lions for the convention as this Is the
first time in a number of years that the
union has met in a south Georgia town.
Delegations from all over the state
will be present, but it is expected that
south Georgia will send its largest quota
of delegates that ever attended meet
ing. 1t is expected that visitors from
other states will be present as well as
some of the national officers, including
President Charles S. Barrett. National
Committeeman r. E. Duckworth and
others.

COTTON CROP CONDITION
5 PER CENT ABOVE NORMAL
is Free From Grass, Plant Is
Strong, Healthy and Grow
ing Nicely

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 512.-Re-
ports 20 the Advertiser from practical
ly every county in the state show the
present condition of the cotton crop To
be about per cent better than nor
NAL. and from to 100 per cent better
than il was this time last year. AS a
general thing, the crop has been worked
out twice everywhere except in the ex-
treme northern counties. and IN the
southern portion of the state it has
been worked three and four times. 1t
is free from grass, the plant is strong
and healthy, in few places being in
fected with lice or other bugs and is
growing nicely.
Farmers expect to harvest the best
crop they have had in many years, if
not within the history of the common
wealth.
The weather has been dry and hot
generally over the state for the past
two weeks, which, with cool nights, has
advanced the crop in its growth. There
are some complaints of the drouth, but
1t has not yet affected cotton.
Blooms are fast coming in up to the
middle of the state, and in the boil
weevil belt little or no movement of
that pest has been noted.
Oats have been harvested and the
crop is better than was expected.
Corn is suffering for rain. The acre
age is far larger than ever before

that a filibustering expedition had lett

some Venezuelan port. were fruitless.
Those federal authorities who could
be located here tonight declined TO make
any statement, other than to say that no
orders had been received here regarding
he sending out OF revenue cutter to IN
tercept the alleged fihbusters It was.
however, learned from other sources that
one of the agents of the department OF

left here today to investigate the report
ed expeditions. What the result of this
investigation is had not been learned, up
to a late hour tonight. ~ .a
The story published today says that
after taking on ammunition, machine.
guns, provisions, tents. hospital stores
etc, a vessel called the Siren had left
Gulfport according to the best infor-
nation obtainable." and that another
vessel would leave today.
The paper publishing this story says:
ut is believed that the boats are des-.
tined for Venezuelan ports and that they
are to be the navy Of Cipriano Castrosl
forces, with which he hopes
to regain control of his country. The
theory is that the Siren will stop at some
secluded Cuban port and take on Castro
and whatever adventurers he has collec-
ed to form the nucleus OF his army

tent as the farmer of the west in re-
claiming abandoned land. II the arid

reclamation will conduct the campaign
aboard the train. Lectures will be de-
livered at 81 central points en- route and
stereopticon views will be shown to en-
phasize the argument, as the digging OF
dry bitches in the west has brought
an increase to the agricultural wealth
of that section, wet bitches will do
the same for the south besides improv-
ing hygenic conditions. General in
structions will be given in the systemat-
ic drainage of swamp lands, how to
