policy, if elected, to do everything in
my power to improve the conditions
of rural free schools
In this connection, it has been my
belief for many years that agricultu-
raj education should be made one of
the features of our system of free
schools, and all that I can do toward
this end will be done
The degree of efficiency which has
heen attained by the State Agricultu-
raj College at Athens has made thai
institution one of the most valuable
assets of the state 1t has proven
itself capable of incalculable benefit
to Georgia farmers OF the old and new
generations. This college should be
adequately equipped and generously
maintained. The eleven agricultural
schools of Georgia should also be lib
orally provided for, and encouraged
in the valuable work they are do
ing.
The state should in every way pos
sible encourage and cooperate with
the United States farm demonstration
work. This work has been of great
benefit to our farming and business in
terests.
Related to this question of public
education is the question of prompt
and adequate pay for our faithful
teachers. Teachers are essential to
schools, and it is impossible for the
state to secure the best class of teach
ers unless it pays them sufficiently.
1t shall be my constant aim, If elect
ed, to work toward prompt payment
of these teachers without submitting
them to the humiliating experience OF
discounting their small salaries in
order to eke out an existence. They
should be well paid and promptly
| paid.
| favor some rlan by which the
state of Georgia can arrange to fur
nish school books to children at
tending the public schools OF Georgia
at the actual cost of publishing. The
wisdom of our legislators should cer-
tainly be adequate to devise some
plan by which this result can be ac-
complished.
Good roads are essential to civili
zation. No subject which confronts
our people today is of more import.

BRANTLEY May

FOR GOVERNOR

He May Be the Opponent Of

Especial to Times-Recorder.) }

Savannah, Ca, March 9.-Judging
from the trend of current political
discussion in this city and section of
the state, it is not yet settled beyond
doubt that the opisition candidate
to Hon. Thomas G. Hudson in the
race for governor will be Slaton, OF
Atlanta. Indeed, strong undercur-
rent of opinion hereabouts is that the
announcement from Washington that
Congressman Brantley will not again

Brunswick -Waycross district means
that Brantley has other political aspl-
rations. and that there is at least a
very strong probability that he Will

ocrats.
None of those in this city or sec
ton acquainted with Congressman
Brantlev believe that he has perma
nentlv retired from politics or thai
his official withdrawal from the con e
eressionaI field can be construed to
mean that he is weary Of the game and
tha, te will devote himself to the
nractice e law at Brunswick. On thc
other ;,"nd some of his strongest adj
mirers and closest friends are strong
" of the opinion that this is but tn
f,st move in a new schedule in the
great political game of the next few
years in Georgia, with the governor
shin and the senatorship the stakes tc
be fought for.
Advices received here from Allan
ia do not convey the positive assur
ance that Slaton will be the guberna
torial candidate in opposition to Hud
son. Political gossip there, as brough'
here. is to the effect that many Attain
tans of considerable strength are ad

ARRANGEMENTS DEFINITE FOR
PLAYERS TO GO TO BUENA VISTA
"LOSt Jewels Of HOCh hCOCh viii Be Presented There
Next Wednesday Evening Before Large Crowd

Definite arrangements have been
completed for the trip to be made
next Wednesday to Buena Vista by
the local company of amateur play
ers who will present there that ev-
ening the play given with so much
success here recently. 2.
1t was hoped that a special train
could be secured to carry the players
to Buena Vista, but after consultation
with the representative of the rail-
road company it was thought best not
to guarantee the attendance of the
ninety persons asked for by the Off
cials in order to obtain special train.
AS the fare is the same in each in
stance, it was decided to be better to
use the regular schedule and take as
many others than those in the com
pany as may wish to go.
This practically completes the ar
rangements for the appearance of the
company in Buena Vista, as it decides
the matter of transportation. Already
the program for the evening has been
sent to Manager Hirsehberg, of the
Buena Vista opera house, so that it
will soon be in type in preparation for
the performance Wednesday evening.
which has already been extensively
in Marion county.
The regular schedule compels lit
tie earlier departure of the players
: t1an was desired, as the train leaves
here about 2:45 o'clock in the after
noon, while the same difficulty is ex-
pe'ienced in its return. 1t is planned
for the players to come back to
Americus on the Seminole Limited,
which leaves Buena Vista about IL
O'Clock at night. While these hours
are somewhat inconvenient, it is be-
lieyed that the return trip may be
made successfully, thereby saving
much in the way of expenses.
The assurances from Buena Vista
are to the effect that a crowded house
will 81 eet the performance there In
order 10 make thorough preparation
for Monday and Tuesday and 80 p. m
ins. rehearsals have been announced
for Monday and Tuesday evenings.
and every member of the cast is urg-
ed to be in attendance upon these re-
hearsals, as they will be the last to
be held before the presentation OF
the play Wednesday evening.

ance than that of good roads. l am
in favor of the federal government ap-
propriating money for the building Of
good roads. If all of the money which
is wasted on federal pensions and the
building of battleships in one year
should be expended on the roads of
our country, it would be sufficient to
build great highways from the Lakes
to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and through every state
in the union and maintain them for
years to come.
No man is benefited by good roads
as much as the farmer. A calculation
of the wear and tear and extra effort
on stock and wagons, when used OH
some of our roads as they now exist,
as compared to the cost of this wear
and tear and the time saved upon
good and we'll paved roads would show
an immense saving to the farmer. The
road is the very life of the farm. II
furnishes the only way by which the
farmer reaches the market with his
products. He is just as dependent on
good roads as he is upon his stock or
upon his labor. 1t is regrettable thar
our people have lain dormant so long
on the subject of good roads.
I rejoice to see that organized ef-
fort is at work everywhere to i'm
prove our roads. | favor the law
which places our convicts on the pub
lie roads, and if elected, it will be
my aim and stand to endeavor to es-
tablish laws so that in> time every
county in the state will have its roads
| in good condition and in such condi-
ton as will be passable in every kim
of weather.
Road building should be gone at
with view of developing not only the
accessible portions of each county, but
, the inaccessible and remote as well
and a system must be devised by
which road work shall be justly ap-
portioned among all parts of the va
rious counties.

this are so obvious that they require
no elaboration. | also favor the
county unit plan of nomination OF
governor and state house officers.

commission in all of its integrity
and | favor leaving it with all of the
powers which it now has. know OF
nothing which has worked more good
to the state than has our railroad
commission law. 1t is modelled after
the very best laws of the most pro
gressive states in the union, and al
that remains to be done is to have a!
railroad commissioners men with al
eye single to the public good. II
other words, our railroad commission
law is in every way adequate for tn
public need, and the question as t
whether or not the public shall &c
