Election Dope

Atlanta, Dec. THE fight is on
in Georgia, from Atlanta to the
mountains and the sea. Keen IN
terest which has developed during
the past two weeks, and the heavy
votes polled in Fulton and Atlanta
indicate to politicians here that the
total vote will be much heavier
than was first anticipated. and there
will be no surpsise if a normally
large total is piled up
Speculations as to who is in the
lead in Fulton county are thus far
fruitless. One thing seems certain,
however, and that is that there is
no landslide for any one man In
this county. Russell men, Pope
Brown men and Joe Brown men
throng the city polling places and
seem equally active.
1t is figured that if the candidates
ran neck and neck throughout the
entire state 1874 county unit votes
would constitute a plurality, but
there will be wide difference be-
tween the totals of the respective
three, and as a matter Of fact it will
probably require $50 or more coun-
ty unit votes to give the victorius
plurality.
Reports received by the various
headquarters Indicate that polls
have been opened in all the coun-
ties. 1t had been feared fora time
that some few counties would not
participate in the primary for the
lack of funds.

Atlanta Wants rs
More PatrOlmen

Atlanta. Dec. 7-Practically adj
hitting that the Atlanta police
force is incompetent TO handle the
criminals of Atlanta and protect
the property of its citizens, but de-
claring that the trouble is with the
size of the force and not the effi-
cheney of the men already on 1t,
Chief of Police Beavers Is petition
ing council for an additional appro-
priation that will permit him to
put IS more regular patrolmen on
force.
The present moment not a day
passes that three or four burglaries
or hold-ups do not occur in this city
usually in broad day light, and
scarcely one fourth of the offenders
are ever brought to justice.
Chief Beavers declares that is
dne to the fact that the present
sized force has too much territory
to cover.

Good Preparation Of Land
Brings Larger Yields

The work of the Cotton Culture
Department during the past sea-
son has been highly satisfactory.
The reports of the Field Agent show
that farmers who have followed
their advice as to the preparation
of their fields and the cultivation OF
their crops have very generally Sc
cured larger yields of cotton per
acre than have been grown on SINH
lar lands in their neighborhoods by
farmers who were not willing to-
follow this advice. AS an aid to
the work of the Cotton Culture De-
partment, President Finley has made
a wide distribution of a folder de-
scribing its work and embodying
the advice of the late DIR. S. A.
Knapp, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. as to the
best methods of growing cotton
under boil weevil conditions. A re-
vised and illustrated edition of this
folder is being issued and President
Finley will be glad to send copy of
it upon request to any farmer in
territory along the lines of the Com
panies participating in the support
of the Cotton Culture Department.
All of the expense Of the Cotton
Culture Department is being borne
by the railway companies above
mentioned and the services of its
Agents are entirely free to all far
mers along the lines of the compa-
MES, who may desire their advice.

Appeals for Christmas
PardonS

Atlanta, Dec. THE governors
office is being flooded with appeals
for Christmas pardons and paroles.
A score for petitions for mercy
toward convicted murderers are in
cluded in the number.
In more of the instances the on
ly new ground of appeal is that a
heart-broken mother or wife wants
her loved one at home for the
Christman dinner. While sympa-
thy is felt at the capitol for the pc
titioners, it is not believed that
any of the pardons will be granted
on sentimental grounds! In fact
few if any pardons will be granted
this month.
