FARMERS INSTITUTE
No Interest Taken BY
Fulton County Farmers.

L. l.. Shadoin and c. S. Kirk, were
here Tuesday to organize an institute
for the farmers of Fulton county, but
with the exception of effecting an
organization with the officers elected
absent, the institute was a complete
failure.
To comply with the law. so they
say, officers were selected and a per-
manent organization effected. Judge
w. A. Naylor was selected tempo
rary chairman and County Atty. j.
w. Roney temporary secretary. The
following were elected officers Of
the permanent organization:
ID. b. Wilson, Chairman.
Julian Choate, LIST Vice President.
c. T. Bondurant, End Vice Presi-
dent.
s. l.. Dodds, Secretary.
II. e. Kelley, Of Fulton, was Sc
lected to attend the State Institute
TO be held in Frankfort some time in
JANUARY.
We do not pretend to be able to
state positively whose fault 1t is, nor
how the situation could have been
bettered, but the meeting should have
been attended by more farmers than
the courtroom can accommodate and
which should have produced many
benefits to the agricultural interests
OF this county. 1t was farce, pure and
simple. Certainly the importance of
this work justifies more attention to
the preliminary arrangements than
has been given in the county. The
farmers and others should awaken
TO a realization of the possibilities
OF this Institute, demand that they
be sent directors and lecturers that
are expert in their various lines, and
then attend and take active part in
the session.

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.iThe recall
election of Mayor Dilling will
probably not take place. Yester-
day the final check OF the sigma
lures on the petition were made in
the city comptroller's office. The
result was 1875 names short of
the required number.
The recallers have ten days In
which to secure enough additional
names. They already have some.
They will probably get more than
the 1875. But another factor
has entered which may more than
nullify the work of the recallers.
An organization of antirecallers
has been at work for more than a
week securing Withdrawals from
persons who have had change of
heart on the recall question. 1t
appears more than probable that
they will win out in the ten days
race just begun.
