OUTLOOK PLEASES
tom HUDSON
Will Meet Farmers All Over
the State

Thomas G. Hudson, retiring commits
sioner of agriculture and candidate for
governor of Georgia, spent Tuesday in
Columbus shaking hands with his nu-
merous friends in Muscogee.
Mr.. Hudson expressed himself as be-
ing much encouraged in his race for
the executive office. 1 have strong
assurances from all sides" he de-
clared, notwithstanding the fact that
the gubernatorial campaign hasn't op-
ened up yet,
Il have been spending some time in
the southeast and northwest sections
of the state" said Mr. Hudson, "and
if the sentiment expressed in these
parts can be taken as an indication, |
will be the next governor of Geor-
gia."
Mr.. Hudson stated that he had mada
no political speeches as yet, that he
was talking along agricultural lines
and meeting his friends in the va
rious counties.
Discussing the campaign, Mr.. Hud-
son declared while in Columbus that
he had always voted for the men OF
his choice in these campaigns, but he
had always been willing to allow the
other man to vote his convictions, and
lad not tried to influence any one in
an effort to get them to vote for the
men of his choice.
He believes that every voter should
have preference when it comes to
selecting officials to have charge OF
/ their affairs, and that he has always
exercised this right himself and that
he has been at all times ready to con-
cede the other mans right to do the
same thing.

DEMONSTRATION WORK HAS
HELPED SUMTER FARMERS
Resume Of Work Done in Sumter County and Throughout the State
Great Interest as the New Crop Year Begins

mate the effect of the work upon the
crop adjacent to the demonstration,
which in many instances has been very
noticeable
Demonstration work in Georgia rs
| well as in other states, has been ad-
vancing year by year both in acreage
under cultivation and III increased
yields per acre obtained under the
methods advocated by the Department.
AS proof of this, in 1909 the average
on demonstrations was ,303.9 pounds
seed cotton per acre, and 34.4 bushels
of corn per acre.
In 1910 there were 1852 cotton de-
monstrations reporting on 4,963 acres
an average yield of 1, 29S lbs. seed
cotton per acre, and 1,077 corn de-
monstrations reporting on 4,07S acres
an average yield of 354 bu. of shelled
corn per acre. When compared with
what has been given for 1911 it can be
seen that the work is advancing. The
year 1912 promises to show consider
ably more acreage than any previous
year.
Not only does the Demonstration
Work seek to show that yields can be
increased per acre of the two leading
crops of corn and cotton as is given
above, but the workers are intensely
interested and are urged to incourage
anything and everything that tends to-
ward agricultural development of the
South. This means the raising of
more home supplies, the use of better
farm machinery with more horse pow
er and less but more skilled labor,
more home conveniencies, better coun-
try schools, if not potent one, III
helping to bring about some of all the
improvements mentioned. There yet
remains other Improvements to be
brought about, however and the De-
monstration force will continue to join
hands with other agencies at work in
the state in keeping up the pace a.
ready begun.

FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON

Mrs. Sue Mclaughlin passed away

be in Oakgrove cemetery beside loved
ones gone before.
Mrs. Mclaughlin possessed those

GROUNDS SOON
TO BE READY
FOR PLAYING
ATLANTA GAMES ARE OFF
Other Games to Be Arranged
For Openers

More and more is Dudley Field as
suming the appearance of ball park
where the local fans will see some of
the gilt edge variety of baseball this
spring and summer, as the diamond
has been worked up pretty vigorously
for several days past. 1t is now
rounding into good shape for early
practice and even for faster games, if
they materialize.
The diamond has been scraped re-
Gently and will be rolled and treated
to a good, fast surface. The outfiel1
will be plowed and leveled and put in
the best of shape for fast work in the
outer gardens, so that when the season
opens the diamond and field should be
as good as any team could desire.
No arrangements could be made
with the Atlanta Southern League
teah to play here the latter part of the
week on their return from Albany,
though it was hoped that these games
could arranged in order to satisfy the
spring appetite of the fans, which is
growing rather ravenous at this time.
These games, however, cannot be en-
ioyed at this juncture, SO that other
arrangements for the opening games
will be made by Manager Ford, as he
has several letters in hand now from
teams that want games.
The diamond will likely be in shape
for practice by next Monday, though
it can be used to some extent for thar
purpose now.

FREE FOR ALL FIGHT.
Mexican and Italian Laborers Have
One at Santa F'e junction.

Two MeXicans and two italians were
wounded in a free for all fight near
the Santa Fe-Union Pacific functions
in North Topeka Saturday night. The
men were employed as Iaborers in
track gangs and the fight occurred as
the men arrived at the tool house at
quitting time. The two MexicaEs
were injured so badly that it was nee
essary to take them to the st. Fran
els hospital for treatment and the two
Italians were given medical attention
and Ehene locked up in the city prison.
The MeXicans were employed on the
Santa F'e and the Italians on the Tn
ion Pacific.
The police have been unable to
learn the motive of the trouble ana
none of the participants will offer any
information. Those who can talk suf-
ficiently to be understood claim that
they know nothing OF the cause Or
who started the trouble and the 9TH
ers claim that they do not understand
the questions propounded.
Among those who were injured are:
John Cerinzia, Italian, 25 years old,
ugly cash in back of head, serious but
not thought to be fatal.
Frank Cerinzia, Italian, aged 33,
bruised and beaten.
Mosto Reos, Mexican, aged so,
bullet through left side of head.
Juan Reos, Mexican, aged So, stab
bed in left side.
The police received information Of
the fight at o'clock Saturday night
Sergeant Dan Garden and Patrolman
Duncan and Special Officer Gaines of
the Union Pacific responded and
brought the injured men to the police
station Following this, they were
taken to the office of DIR. c. NJ. Hen
Sley, the county physician, where
their injuries were dressed. The two
Mexicans were sent from the ply
sician's office to the hospital.
An examination showed that a bull
let had torn its way through the left
eye and out below the left ear of
Mosto Reos. Another bullet passed
through the left thigh of the oth2r
Mexican, Juan Reos. The latter also
had been stabbed in the left thigh.
Both men bled profusely and were I'M
conscious when they were received at
the hospital. The wound in the head
of Frank Cerinzia must have been in
flicted by some sharp instrument as
the skull was fractured and more than
a dozen stitches were necessary to
close the wound.
Sam Ollisio an interpreter who was
employed with the Italians, was taken
to the police station, but would not
give the police any information which
would reveal the cause of the trou
bic. Jess Clark, the American fore
man, who was in charge of the Itel-
ians. ran away when the fight begun,
and could not give any information.
Considerable enmity exists between
the laborers of the various nationali-
ties and this is supposed to have caus-
ed the trouble. Fights of this nature
occur from time to time and in. the
various camps along the lines of the
various railroad systems.
All of the injured are reported 20
be improving and it is thought that
all of them will recover. Juan Reos,
the younger of the Mexicans, has been
released from the hospital.

UNTIL AFTER ELECTION"
One Hears This Phrase Many Times in
Shawnee Courts Now.

If the court please, might that go over
until after election?''
Anybody who spends much time in tire
two divisions of the Shawnee county dis
tr1ct court would hear such q plea many
times. It has bobbed up oftener than al
most anything else in the last two or
three weeks. And 1t is the occasion Of
the postponement of many cases.
In fact so universal is the plea that It
was with difficulty that any jury cases
were begun in either division of the court.
And as result the court house is quietsr
than it has been in many moons.
Il don't think I ever saw so little d.
ing here is a common remark among
those who frequent the court house.
Attorneys. or at least a number of them,
are interested in the coming election tn
such an extent that they have little time
for their usual work. As a result fewer
cases than usual are being filed. and
every case. it would seem, that can be
postponed until some time in NovenIbe-
is being continued.
