Even Westward Emigration Has
Ceased


Vermont has indeed, suffered from
drains on her population caused by
emigration to the once new and
cheaper farming lands OF the West.
but that movement has ceased and
the tendency today is beginning to
set back toward return to the
farms Of the East, in which move
ment Vermont is already beginning
to share and farming lands in this
state are steadily increasing in value,

COTTONSEED HULLS AND
AND MEAL AS A RATION

Mr. Jim Dunn started his wagons to
hauling out hulls and meal yesterday.
He is feeding thirty mules and twenty
four head of oxen on this feed and is
very enthusiastic over the prospects
of saving a good big feed bill. He will
feed two pounds of meal to each mule
and as many hulls as they will eat up
clean each day. Mr.. Dunn says that
everybody is talking overproduction of
cotton and not enough of the consump
ton of same. The world can easily
use 100000 bales at a price the
farmers can afford to raise the staple
at, and want more. But with the pres
ent plan of marketing our crop and
with the help of the spectators We
are selling the greatest crop of the
world at a loss. He says if the gov.
eminent would stop teaching us how
to raise more cotton and show us how
to utilize what we can already grow
the South would be all the richer.

| ferences that had long existed between
the two were not long in coming to a
head and the result was that Governor
Smith removed Brown from office.
Brown Immediately began cam
paign to succeed Smith in the gov
ernorship. He was successful in the
primary and his election followed as
matter of course, for in Georgia the
winner of the democratic primary is
as good as seated. But in his fight for
reelection the victory was reversed
and he was defeated by Hoke Smith,
who again came into the governorship.
The entry of Brown into the present
contest for governor naturally precipi.
tated a renewal of the old-time bitter
factional strife. The Smith adherents
look upon Browns candidacy as part
of a plan of former Governor Terrell
and the old machine to gain control Of
the Georgia democracy and defeat
Smith when he goes before the people
for reelection as United States sen
ator. Either J. Pope Brown or Judge
Russell would be acceptable to the
Smith faction in preference to Little
Joe"
The greatest difficulty facing the
candidates at the beginning of the
campaign was the dearth of important
issues upon which to wake the con-
test. The old issues had been worn
threadbare and no longer interested
the people. Finally two of the candi-
dates, j. Pope Brown and Judge Rus
SELL decided that the question of pre-
hibition should be the chief issue,
though to the ordinary onlooker it
would appear that the prohibition
question had been disposed of as a
live issue several years ago when the
prohibtory statute was enacted. But
the prohibition law, or rather the man.
ner of its enforcement, has siven rise
to considerable public discussion and
more or less dissatisfaction, while the
alleged intention of the liquor inter
ests to start an organized campaign
for the repeal of the law has served
to further attract public attention to
the liquor question. AS the campaign
progressed it became more and NOR
manifest that the liquor question
to be the sole issue.

FOR IMPROVED ATERWAYS

Washington, Dec 6.-In point of at
tendance and enthusiasm the eighth
annual convention OF the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, which
began its sessions at the New Willard
Hotel today, promises to eclipse all
previous gatherings of its kind held in
this country. Delegates appointed
! by river improvement associations,
boards of trade, chambers of COM
merce and similar organizations
throughout the United States, as well
as by the governors of large number
of states, are in attendance. Senators
and representative and heads of vari-
Gus departments of the federal govern
ment will participate in the discus
sions, and toomrrow the attendance
will receive a notable addition in the
delegation of Western governors now
touring the country.
Representative Joseph f. Ransdell
or LOUISIANA, president OF the con
gress, called the gathering to order.
In his opening address President Rams
dell declared his belief that the pres
ent gathering is the most important
ever held in the interest of improved
waterways He reviewed the work al
ready accomplished, and the projects
toward the fulfillmen of which the va
rious associations are bending their
energies. The result of the work al
ready done, he said, spoke well for the
future and ought to impress both the
president and the members of con-
gress respecting the serious and sub
stantial popular sentiment in favor of
4 large annual river and harbor appro'
priation bill.

PROHIBITION THE
ISSUE IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ca, Dec 6.-The perma-
nent successor of Hoke Smith as gov
ernor of Georgia will be selected by
the democrats in a statewide primary
tomorrow. The campaign which closed
today has been very spirited one ami
has presented several unusual fea-
lures.
The term of Governor Smith in the
ordinary course of events would have
expired in July, 1918. The resignation
of a special election to select his sue
cessor were brought about by the
death of United States Senator Clay
year ago. Upon the death Of Senator
Clay, Joseph NJ. Brown, who was then
the governor of Georgia, appointed ex-
Governor Joseph NJ. Terrell to fill the
vacancy in the senate, but the legisla-
ture early in the present year named
Governor Smith in his stead. Mr..
dIICplCu IiC CICSliOi " tliO oNi''
ate, but did not go to Washington
during the special session Of congress.
He held on to the governorship until
the middle of last month, when he
resigned and was succeeded by John
M.Slaton as acting governor. Mr.. Sla.
ton will continue to hold the office I'M
til the latter part of January, when
the winner in tomorrow's primary will
succeed him.
\ There are three candidates in the
primary race. The first in the field
was Col J. Pope Brown Of Hawkins
Vile, who formerly held the office of
state treasurer. Then came Richard
B. Russell of Russellville, judge of
the Georgia court of appeals. The last
to enter the contest was Ex-Governor
Joseph NJ. Brown.
The candidacy of Little Joe" Brown
added spice to what would otherwise
have been a very tame contest. For
several years Brown has been the
stormy petrol of Georgia politics.
When Hoke Smith was first elected
governor Brown held the office of rail
road commissioner. The political diff

uously opposed to amy scheme that
could possibly bring the legalized sale
of liquor back into Georgia" Former
Governor Joseph NJ. rBown is the only
one of the three candidates who has
declined to make the prohibition ques-
ton the paramount issue. He has
shown an inclination to treat the mat
ter lightly from the beginning of the
contest, though he has gone so far as
to suggest that the question be left to
the voters of the state, Personally,
however; Ex-Governor Brown is under
stood to have always been a consistent
prohibitionist.

such a relief that it was passed almost

Bill in Interest of Public Health Blu.
reau Passed by House.

The bill introduced by Representative
Mann of Illinois which proposes to ex-
tend the scope Of the public health and
marine hospital service and to change its
name to the public health service has
been passed by the House. 1t Is this
measure that has been mixed up. in the
public understanding with a bill Great
ing a department of health against which
such a strenuous fight was made by the
various schools of medicine other than
the allopathc.
Mr.. Mann explained to the House yes
terday that hearing had been granted
to those interests and that the objec-
tons they made TO the health department,
bill could not apply in any way to the
measure under consideration
There is nothing in the bill which re-
lates to the practice of medicine or the
art of healing, or which restricts public
liberty in this regard. 1t merely gives the
public health service authority to study
and investigate the diseases of man and
conditions influencing the propagation
and spread of diseases.

am, professor OF political economy at the
University of Chicago. a republican, and
former Mayor Carter III. Harrison, q
democrat, yesterday were chosen as cam
didates for mayor Of Chicago at pri-
mary election. The election will be held

Harrison. who has been mayor of Chi
cago four times, led former Mayor Ed
ward F.. Dunno by less than 1900 votes.
Andrew Graham, candidate Of the "regu-
lar democratic organization, dropped
nearly 10000 votes behind Harrison.

equal to the combined vote Of his four
republican opponents.

cradle force. The total vote ran far ahead
of that expected.

surprise to the politicians. He is a mem
Der of the city council. He gained public
ity as head of a commission which in.
vestigated the city purchasing system He
lis known as an authority on political
economy and is the author of several

Harrison's victory and the showing
made by former Mayor Dunno came as q
surprise to many, Graham having beer
a favorite in the betting during the pri-
