Mr.. smith is GREETED
BY HOST AT ELLAVILLE
Occasion There Yesterday is
Largely Attended

Americas was very largely repre-
scented yesterday at Ellayille, where
the greatest throng assembled in
.Schley's capital city in many years
greeted Gov.-Elect Hoke Smith, who
delivered an address at the closing Of
Crisp Institute. Several thousand peo-
pie thus enjoyed the holiday occasion.
Mr.. Smith, with several friends, left
Americus at s o'clock by automobile
and enjoyed the morning ride over the
fine highway leading from Ellaville
to this city.
The address was delivered in the
spacious auditorium of the county
courthouse, which was filled to it's ca
pacity, while many stood without the
temple, but near enough to hear the
splendid discourse of Georga's next
governor.
Mr. Smith, who was introduced by
Mr. Charles R. McCrory, spoke one and
a half hours 1t was an eloquent, log
zeal address upon the broad lines Of
the development of Georgia's resources
and the opportunities thus afforded the
youth of the land upon lines of gen
eral progress.
Following the address, Governor
Elect Smith held an informal recep-
ton, hundreds of friends thus greet
ing him and extending welcome.
AT the noon hour a splendid dinner,
quite characteristic of the hospitality
of lSchleys people, was served in the
oak grove near the courthouse, where
long tables held the most tempting
viands. A reception at the residence
of DR.. Jordan was held last night from
seven to nine O'clock
Mr.. Smith returned to Americas at
10 o'clock last night, taking the Cen
trail train to Atlanta, where he ar
rived this morning

tax on rice to be levied and paid by the mills.
 The rice market shows no i'm mediate improvement. Prices are unchanged and the demand indicates only hand-to-mouth trading. It is now regarded as likely that the carryover will be about the same as that of last year, unless the domestic market is relieved by sending a consiu- erable quantity of rice abroad. In every part of the rice belt farmers are turning more than ever to general crop diversity and to the raising of stock and poultry.

The Rice Situation

Crowley. La, May 2. The Rice Journal & Southern Farmer in it's monthly reveiw of the rice situation, will say tommorow: The end of April found rice planting six weeks farther ad- vanced than the average at this date less than ten years ago. In some sections the crop IS all ii and every where ih the rice belt it is well started. The crop will be practically all in by the middle of May. The rice mar ket is still dull with no signs ot an early advancement. The acreage planted is about that ot last year, with prehaps a slight net increase.
 The Journals correspondents in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and South Carolina show that planting operations are rather earlier than they were last year at this season, and fully six weeks ahead of the ten year average up to three years ago, The earlier planting is due partly to better cultural methods and partly to the unusually favorable winter and spring for crop pre- paration.
 It is probable that there will no marked change in Texas acre age, with present probabilities pointing to a slight decrease.
 In Arkansas the only thing that prevents the usual heavy ln- crease is the unsatisfactory state of the rice market. The season is we'll advanced and the soil is in fine mechanical condition. Not as much planting has been done as an on the Gulf Coast, but preparations for planting are we'll advanced, and the crop will be put in earlier than usual. The acreage increase this year may reach as high as twenty per cent and will hardly fall below ten per cent.
 April was marked by the in- aguration of the great Schell ca nal enterprise in St. Landry par ish and by the organization of the Louisiana State Rice company, composed of owners and managers of twenty of |the Louisiana country mills. This company will buy clean rice and sci t through one chan mel. Its head is Frank God ehaux, the young Abbe vile rice miller whose heavy transaction in rice have attracted attention for several years.
 It is also stated that rice mil- lers in other parts of the rice belt are contemplating sig lar-clean .fice organizations to sell thezfin- ished produetthrough one chan nel for the purpose of eliminat- ing injurions competition.
 An attemptwill be made to or ganize a rice exploitation com pany, the income of which will be derived from a five cent bag -------------

He had Dr. Murphy come over from Clarendon on the midnight train and he and Dr. Adams did all ,aey could to get her through her trouble, but the death angel came and relieved her of her sufferings. Bro. Rodgers has the sympathies of the entire community in this his great loss. May God who healeth all wounds bring comfort to his sorrowing heart.
