CRISP TO RUN FOR CONGRESS
Son of the Former Speaker Will Be
a Candidate in the New Third
Georgia District,

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald thus refers to Judge
Charles R. Crisp of Americas:
Judge Charles Crisp, who is
Speaker Clark's PARLIAMENTARY, has
his eye on seat in the house as a
member from Georgia. The legisla-
ture is about to pass a bill to redis-
trict the state to provide for twelve
instead of eleven representatives. I'm
der the reapportionment act just
passed the state gains one member.
Judge Crisp finds himself in the
new district mapped out in the bill
now before the legislature. His
friends down home and in the house
are urging him to make the race.
They say that the new district
could not choose a better man be-
cause of his wide experience in the
affairs of congress. Judge Crisp is
the son of the late Speaker Crisp. He
served as his fathers parliamenta-
rian from 1891 to 1895, and after his
father died was elected for the re-
mainder of the term.
His ability as an Interpreter of the
complicated rules of the house is well
recognized by republicans and demo-
Gratis, and he is universally popu-

THE CAPITAL REMOVAL BILL.
BY MAJORITY. OF ONE WAS SENT
OVER TO NEXT SESSION.
Petition of 40 Members That 1t BE
Considered at the Last Session
Denied by Rules Committee.

ATLANTA.-At a meeting held
before the session of the house open
ed the rules committee declined to
set the capital removal bill as a
special order, although 10 members
of the house had signed the petition
to do so.
When the house met Mr.. Hall of
Bib offered a privileged resolution
setting forth that the rules commit
tee had disregarded a large majority
of the membership of the house in
asking that the bill be put before the
house for action, and requesting the
committee to meet at once and report
said bill to this house for action.
Mr. Hall took the floor and Mr..
Vinson, in the chair. ruled that the
resolution should go to the rules com
miJtee without debate, reversing the
ruling Of Speaker Holder the other
day on the resolution of Mr.. Alexan-
der of DeKalb when he permitted
him to debate his resolution protest
ing against the rules committee on
the Tippins bill.
Mr. Hall appealed from the decis-
ion Of the chair, and then addressed
the house
This is most vital matter to the
people of Georgia" he said, land it
is unfair for this house to be denied
the right to pass on it.
Does the gentleman from Bibb
mean to say that the rules committee
ignored the request of 10 members
OF the hOuse?" asked Mr.. Anderson
Of Chatham.
1t most certainly has done so, {"
was the reply.
Will the gentleman allow me to
make motion to let this important
measure go over to next June?" ask
ed Mr.. Anderson.
'No!' said Mr.. Hall. II am in
deadly earnest about this matter. l
want vote on this bill. Since you
nave denied this house the right to
vote on it the issue is now out of the
hands of the legislature and with the
people"

THE FARMERS CREED.
Small Farms and Large Crops Are
the Things.


In these days of intensive farming,
agricultural colleges and chemical
fertilizers E. NJ. Rapp of Reading,
Pa, county school superintendent.
has found that the Farmers Creed, 4"
written nearly half a century ago, is
so adaptable to present conditions
that he has had it printed on cards
and distributed among the advanced
pupils of the public schools. Here
it is:
We believe in small farms and a
thorough cultivation.
We believe that soil loves to eat.
as well as its owner, and ought,
therefore, to be literally fed.
We believe in large crops which
leave the land better than they found
it-making the farmer and the farm
both glad at once.
We believe in going to the bottom
of things, and, therefore, in deep
blowing and enough of it-all the
better with a subsoil pillow.
We believe that every farm should
own a good farmer.
We believe that the best of fertiliz-
ers for any soil is a spirit of industry,
enterprise and Intelligence. Without
this lime and gypsum, bones and
green manure, mari and guano will
be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good
barns, good farmhouses, good stock.
good orchards and children enough
to gather the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, a
neat wife in it and clear con-
science.
We firmly disbelieve in farmers
who will not improve; in farms that
grow poorer every year; in starving
cattle; in farmers boys turning into
clerks and merchants; in farmers
ashamed Of their vocation, or who
drink whiskey until honest people
are ashamed of them.

made OF the slippery character OF the
Asphalt Block for heavy teams, and at

vehicles cross, that form OF paving has
shown more rapid signs of wear than
on purely residential streets. Mr..

LARCENY CHARGE
AGAINST WOMAN

Lizzie Roane. n colored woman of
large hope and small purse, looked
melancholy last night when a warrant
for her arrest on a charge of larceny
was read to her. And well might she
look disconsolate. for 1t was an item
lied warrant, and looked and sounded
almost as bad as an expense account.
Retaliation of the items, or things.
which she is charged with unlawfully
stealing, against oil the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and other
parts of the inhabited world amounts
to $50, and when Lizzie reached down
into that receptacle where most wo-
men. white. black and yellow. carry
their money, she found 1t without a
bulge Therefore she looked blank,
and. II tho charge be true. she will
look banker this morning when she
faces the stern. cold eyes of the One

Lizzie is charged with stealing a bed
and spring. valued at $3.50; stove.
valued at sl2.5o; q bed room suite,
consisting of four chairs and rocker,
valued at S27.50; another bed spring,
valued at $3.50; a mattress. valued at
$3.50, and a table valued at $3.50. The
man who Issued the warrant is good at
figures. and he added up the amount
and put 1t down as $50. The property
once belonged to James Z. Anderson,
but he sold It, 1t is alleged. to Lizzie
on the slow instalment plan.
Lizzie, 1t is charged. thought she
would realize something on ner hand
