hoped that extension courses can De

his time to insurance work in Atlanta
and Macon-he has offices in both cities
He devOtes the remainder to his planta-
tons But he long ago learned the secret
of not trying to do everything himself
He has good men-the best of men-in
charge of his interests and he let's them
do some thinking for themselves.
The Oglethorpe plantations comprise
200 acres in Macon county. Mr.. Bagley
today was given a charter for the com
pany, with $250000 capital stock. He e%-
poets to sell the pref rred at $40 share
and he Shows his faith in his proposition
by taking the common stock in exchange
for his property at a valuation of $50 an
acre.
How Company viii Operate.
The company will be known as the
Oglethorpe Plantation Company, with of
fees in Atlanta and Oglethorpe. A num-
Der of the best known business mon in
Atlanta will be associated with Mr.. Bag
ley in the enterprise.
Mr. Bagley and his associates are
among the first business men of the
South to realize the Importance and adj
vantage of Incorporating agricultural un-
dertakngs In many respects, the com
pany is unique. 1t will have an active
board of directors, among whom will be
practical farmers, trained financiers and
experienced business men Under the SUI
pervision Of an executive committee from
this board, offices Will be maintained in
this city for the purpose of purchasing
supplies, marketing the crops and the
various other products of the company
The farming properties acquired will he
developed along four principal lines: gen
eral farming, with cotton gin, warehouse
and grain elevators; stock farming; dali
rying: pecan and peach orchard. Each de
partment will be in charge Of an expert
thoroughly familiar with up to date and
improved methods of agriculture.
The company has acquired $500 acres
Of the richest farm lands in south Geor-
gia. Sixty acres Of the east portion of
the plantatio lies within the city limits
Of Oglethorpe The properties have been

operated during the last four years by Mr..
Bagley. who. by deep plawing and in
tensive fertilization, has brought it up to
a high state Of cultivation. In conjunc-
ton with one of the railroads passing
through the company's property there
will be established demonstration farm
and field laboratory.
The fact that modern business methods
can be applied successfully to farming
has been demonstrated by Mr. Bagley
Last year he sold his peach orchard at
Americas, in acreage one-half the size
of the present holdings of the Ogle-
thorpe Plantation Company, for S126 900

in a large measure TO scientific manage

SOUTH CAROLINA
NOW IN UPROAR
Decision of Executive Commit
tee to Postpone Second Pri-
mary StirS State.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 5.-south
Carolina is in an uproar today as a re-
suit of the decision of the state execu-
tive committee to postpone the second
primary for state officers while the
fraud investigation goes on.
In Anderson and other counties where
the lines are bitterly drawn there is
likely to be serious trouble unless the
governors race is decided soon.
The Anderson county executive com
mittee is examining witnesses today in
the fraud allegations.
The state committee, which met here
yesterday to begin it's investigation OF
fraud charges. named a sub committee
Of seven to thoroughly probe the re-
cent primary
The sub committee was clothed with
full power and authority to take testi-
mony and make a thorough investiga-
ton of all alleged Illegal practices at
the primary. 1t will report at the next
meeting of the committee to be called
by the chairman.
The members Of the committee are
w. F. Stevenson. Chesterfield. chair
man; T. B. Butler, Cherokee; J. r.
Parks, Greenwood; w. B. Wilson. Jr..

The protests of w. Jasper TaEhert
and n. r. Dial, candidates for the
United States senate, against the nom
ination Of Senator B. r. Tillman. on
the ground that he failed to file his ex
pense account as provided by law. were
passed over until the next meeting.
The state committee adjourned to
meet at the call Of the state chairman
and the subcommittee will begin the
work of investigation at an early date.
1t is certain that the Blease faction
will do all in its power to prevent an
investigation. Eugene Blease, brother
of the governor laid the fraud at the
door Of the Jones faction, but at the
same time bitterly fought resolution
which had for its object a searching
investigation into the alleged irregular
tiles at the ballot boxes.
Every county was represented at the
meeting.
