Impression by her i~mpersonation of the

been growing steadily for years. Such
beautiful singing one rarely has the

imperious and f~ateful; in the great love

majestic. Mr.. wolf-Ferrari. who was In

One fact has been clear to pract-
ically everyone and that is that 10
legislature has q tendency to cut
down state revenuesin one direction
and heap up appropriations in the
other. The enactment Of the Tip
pins near-beer bill would cutoff
Approximately and directly $780,
600 in state revenues from the IL
cense tax. Indirectly, it would at
feet a large and valuable property
in various sections of the state now
used as brewery plans or near-beer
saloons, thereby cutting down dl-
rect taxes in decreased valuation OF
the proportion so affected.
There is also under way an eff
fort to repeal the dog tax, which II
accomplished, would cut out fur
ther revenues Of close to 100000.
Then if the Johnson bill, exempt
ing farmers, cotton and farm pro-
ducts from taxation for a period OF
year is passed tit has passed the
house) it will tend to cut down re-
venues some. Those statements are
not intented as criticism of the
note named, or to intimate that
any one OF them is unwise leg
islation, but merely to show how
the states revenues are being cut
by legislative acts.
On the other hand several worthy
state institutions are coming with
urgent demands for money, and
these demands in the main are
sound. But facing the problem of a
depleted treasury, the thinking men
in the house realize that a stern
and uncomprising check must be
held on appropriations to avert a
really embarrassing condition.

A. o. eLALocK SPEAKS TO
LARGE CROWD AT DALTON.

Dalton. Ca, July 22.-(Special.)-
senStor 40. Blalock Of Fayette coun-
ty spoke At the courthouse here to.
day to a large number Of practical
farmers. and outlined his plan upon
which he is running for commissioner
OF agriculture for the state ofs Seor-
gia.
The gist Of Senator Blalock's aflu-
ment was that, If elected, he would q
all within his power @ raise tbs
standard Of fertilizer which costa the
farmers OF Georgia such al drnrnsnae
sum, and to prevent the shipping Of
garbage from large cities into Geor-
gia to be sold to farmers as fertilizer
and endangering them with disease.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1912-08-01

is especially fitted for the positsn to
which he aspires. He has an army of
friends all over the state who are
actively interested in his election,
and, II elected, the department over
which he will preside will have 3
most capable and efficient head.
The farmers of the state are VI
tally concerned in one of the meas
ures before the present legislature,
championed by Senator Blalock, the
bill being known as the pure ferttli-
ger bill" This measure provides that
cinders, sand and other substance Of
no commercial value shall not consti-
tute any part of the commercial fer
tilizers offered for sale In this state.
The passage and enforcement Of this
bill would save the farmers Of GeoF-
gia not less than Ave million dollars
annually in freight, sacking, hauling
and distributing. This amount seems
large, but, when II is realized that
SIS, 100000 are paid for fertilizers an.
nually, then figuring one-Afth-or
from 400 to 500 pounds of worthless
illier having no plant food, in each
ton--it is evident that this estimate
is approximately correct.
The fertilizer trust is now. as al
ways, actively fighting any measure
to raise the standard Of fertilizers,
whereby worthless substances can be
eliminated. The small mixers, who
are not using worthless filters, are
generally for this measure. II Sena-
tor Blalock is elected commissioner of
agriculture, he will see that this
measure Is thoroughly enforced, as
we'll as giving to the Office practical,
business administration. This office
was created especially for the pro
lection and benefit Of the farmers.
During Senator Blalock's service in
the general assembly, he has favor
ed the pensioning Of all Confederate
soldiers, being the author Of the bill
pensioning the widows Of Confederate
soldiers, and he stands for the liberal
and prompt payment Of teachers Of
the public schools.
Hon. Emmett Cabiness is a hog
and hominy" farmer, who believes 10
and practices raising at home every
thing for the support Of man and ami
mal-corn, oats. wheat and hay. AS
president OF the State FarmeRs' I'm
ION, he actively aided the formation
of Boys Corn Clubs all over the
state. and is one Of the successful
farmers OF Georgia
He Is a member Of the agricultural
committee Of the house, and was the
author of the bill which was so siren
uously opposed at the last session
by the fertilizer trust, providing that
the different ingredients OF all fertIn-
GERS offered for sale In this state
should be printed or branded on each
sack or tag Representative Cabi-
ness and Senator Blalock are using
their best efforts to pass measures
insuring the people pure fertilizers
in this state. AS the consumer pays
tax Of more than 100000 annually
for the inspection OF fertilizers.
Messrs Blalock and Cabiness believe
that the farmers are entitled to the
most rigid inspection Of fertilizers
sold in Georgia, thus guaranteeing
that the farmer win get what he
buys.
