Great many of our so-called Clod-
hopping farmers did not prosper this
year as they expected. Great
many are sadly in debt and with
no means of getting out soon. To
them life seems discouraging. But
dear farmers, you are the wheel of
the universe So look upon the
bright side of life and forget your
cares there is so much to be thank
full for.
Monday morning while out hunt

sight but failed. The Lall glanced
and did not prove fatal death. Mr.
Bost is not supposed to be in any
real danger. His many friends
sympathize with him in the loss of
his eye. MGNoN-

Negro Wants More
Time To Get Religion

Atlanta, Dec, 28.--Delegations
frequently beseige the governors
office and the prison board to save
some condemned murderer's neck
but yesterday afternoon was the
first case on record in which they
came not to save the mans life, but
to save his soul.
A distinguished crowd of Hall
county citizens, headed by Congress
man Thomas L. Bell of that district
Sheriff Grow, called on the governor
to ask him to give Balls Merck,
colored, two or three more weeks in
which to prepare to meet his God.
Merck is under sentence to hang
this Friday, tomorrow. The mem
bers of the delegation that came tC
A Atlanta in his behalf all believe
that he ought to hang, but Merck is
trying hard to get religion" and is
afraid his soul will be lost unless
he is given more time to pray God
for forgiveness. This extra time is
all the negro is asking.

Democrats Should Stand
Solid Behind Nominee

Atlanta, Dec. 28.-Now that it is
a settled matter that Georgia is to
have democratic primary on the
presidential nominees, Senator W. j.
Harris, of CedartOWn, who was
principally instrumental in bringing
the desire for primary to the at
tention of the state democratic
executive committee, emphasizing
the fact that the most important
thing of all is for all the south to
stand by the democratic nominee
in the big fight, no matter who the
nominee may be. Senator Harris
thinks Georgia will endorse Wood
row Wilson-but that is neither
here nor there. He wants the dem
ocrats of Georgia to be ready to sup
port the fight for the national dem
ocratic nominee chosen by the
democratic convention, whether it
is the man chosen in the Georgia
primary or not. Senator Harris
hopes it will be Wilson, but if it is
Judson Harmon. or Underwood or
Clark, he wants to see the dem
ocracy solid behind them.
The worst thing that can happen
to the democratic party now is for
us to have a Wrangle over the NOM
inee before we enter the real fight
against the republicans" said MIR.
Harris at the capitol this morning,
while waiting for a conference with
the governor.

Gen. Fred Grant
to Visit Atlanta

Atlanta, Dec. 2S.-It is believed
that if Atlanta is TO get a brigade
post at all, it will come as the result
of visit which General Fred Grant
will make to Fort Mcpherson, Jan.
uary list.
General Grant is in charge Of the
whole eastern division of the United
State army, which includes the de-
partment of the gulf. General Grant
is on his annual inspection tour,
but the visit this year will mean
more than mere routine. At present
there is one regiment at Fort Nc
PhersOn-the 18th infantry. In
view of the recent order to concent-
rate troops at railroad centers, and
to establish brigade posts wherever
possible instead of scattered re-
gimental posts, it is believe the
brigade headquarters will be estab-
lished here if General Grant is salts
fed that the post at Fort Mcpherson
could be satisfactorily used for such
a purpose. If the brigade post
doesn't come, Atlanta stands a
chance of losing the one regiment
she alreadp has.

Northern Farmers
Invading Georgia
Tide Of Homeseekers Turns from
Northeast to Neglected Op.
portunitY in Dixie

That within the next few years
the best of Georgia land that is now
for sale will be owned by Northern
people is the concensus of opinion
among local real estate and rail-
road people. There are indications
and reports that much more land
is to be sold in the next three
months to Northern farmers than
for any similar period in the history
of the state.
This forecast is based upon hard,
substantial facts, as follows:
There has never been lack OF
farm land on the market in Geor-
gia. This is due to the fact that
the state is not settled as thickly as
it should be. Land in South Geor-
gia, and in fact i'll many other sec
tons of the state, is as good as any
in the world-the valley of the Nile
not excepted.
The demand for land in the
South by Northern farmers was
first felt in Texas, Mississippi, Ar
kansas and other Southern states.
More recently they have begun to
investigate Georgia land and are
coming this way next This year
has been an exceptionally good one
with the small farmers Of Ohio, ILL
nois, Michigan New York aud other
Northern States. They have made
money and are looking toward the
South and Georgia for investment.
1t is not only the fact that farm
lands are in many instances much
cheaper in this territory than in the
more crowded agricultural districts
of the North that prompts the
small farmers to come this way,
but the matter of climate and soil
fertility is even of greater import
ance.
4 They are now raising one crop,
Sbut by coming to Georgia and
following the instructions of the
State Agricultural college at Ath-
ems they can raise two or three
crops. The long summers, mild
spring and fall give them advan-
tages they do not now enjoy.
The startling statement was re-
Gently made by an Alabama COM
mission merchant that 80 per cent
of the vegetables consumed in At
lanta were shipped in from other
sections. This alone emphacizes
the chances here for hundreds of
good truck farmers from the North.
Every first and third Tuesday in
October, November, and December
has brought hundreds of prospec-
tors from the North; but the local
passenger agents say they are adj
vised that beginning in January
there will be an extraordinary in
flux of farmers into Georgia-great-
er than ever in History.

S15,O00,000 CORPORATION
is DECLARED BANKRUPT

New York, Nov. 22,--An involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed
today against the Nevada Utah Mines
and Smelters company, which has a
capital of $15,OO0.0O and its princi-
pal offices here, by the Merchants
Bank of Salt Lake City, which has d
claim for $125,000.
This clam, which Is said to be Sc
cured by collateral, is disputed by the
Nevada Utah corporation. The lat
ter corporation consented to the filing
of the creditors petition and admitted
that it is unable at present to meet its
debts. On the joint application of
counsel for the petitioners and the
corporation, United States Judge
Hough appointed Harry Melville re-
ceiver.
The putting of the corporation In
the hands of the federal court it is
stated is expected to facilitate the
completion of the readiustment plans,
protect the interests of the subsidiary
companies and also settle the dispute
concerning the claim of the Mer-
chants bank.

GROCER WHO FOUGHT
ROBBERS MURDERED

Garfield, Utah. Nov. 22, IT Sixty
cents. just enough to pay for the am
munition they used, was the sum for
which robbers took the life of Will
lam A. Sandercook. whose body was
found on the floor of the Sampson
Grocery company's store early this
morning. Sandercook, who was man
ager OF the grocery company and who
slept In the rear of the store, made a
ID sperate resistance before he was
overpowered.
i 1t was evident that the robbers who
had forced an entrance without
awakening him, struck him on the
head with q spike maui while he
slept.
In spite of his wound Sandercook
fought his way into the main store,
and reached his revolver, which was
kept near the cash register but be-
fore he could use the weapon he was
shot through the head and killed.
The cash, which was kept by the
company to cash pay checks OF the
employees of the Garfield smelter, was
hidden among the goods In the store,
and was not discovered by the rob-
bers.
Sheriff Sharp left tonight for Lyn-
dale, where two suspects were arrest
ed today.

CONGRESS MAY Be
ASKED To REVISE
OLD TREATY
President Taft Expected to
Touch Upon important Mat
ter Effecting Relations With
Russia at Coming Session,

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased wire.l
Washington, Nov. 22.-There was
a well defined report today that Presi-
dent Taft in his message to congress
might have something to say on the
subject of negotiations between the
United States and Russia, looking TO
a revision of the treaty of 1882, prin-
cipally to remove the present restric-
tions upon the rights of travel and
saoAicise oe american Jews in Rus
sia.
The rumor was coincident with the
beginning of the official calls OF
George Bakmetieff the new Russian
ambassador.
Mr. Bakmetleff had long talk with
Secretary Knox and soon will present
his credentials to the president.
President Taft already has received
many insistent demands that the trea-
ty with Russia be abrogated. On the
other hand some of the presidents
advisors, il is said, have counselled
against such drastic action. They take
the ground that to cut off all treaty
relations in Russia would leave the
situation in worse shape than at pres
ent and that in the abrogation of the
treaty the United States has every
thing to lose in the way of tariff con-
cessions and other considerations,
while Russis would lose practically
nothing.
The total severance Of treaty rela-
tions, it is pointed out, would make
the problem of obtaining wider privi-
leges for American Jews in Russia eX-
tremely difficult.
1t is said that both at the state de-
partment and White House the hope
exists that material notifications of
the existing treaty may be negotiat-
ed
