is especially fitted for the position to
which he aspires. He has an army of
friends all over the state who are
actively interested in his election
and, if elected the department over
which he will preside will have a
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 fertili-
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 Geor-
gia not less than FIVE million dollars
annually in freight, sacking, hauling
and distributing. This amount seems
large, but when it is realized that
s25, 100000 are paid for fertilizers an
nually, then figuring one-f1fth-or
from 400 to 500 pounds of worthless
filler having no plant food, in each
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1912-07-31

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
well as giving to the office a 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 In
and practices raising at home every
thing for the support of man and ami
mal-corn, oats, wheat and hay. Az
president of the State Farmers On
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 fertili-
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
a 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 will get what he
buys.

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

Dalton, Ca, July 22.-(Special.)-
Senator A. o. 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 of Geor-
gia.
The gist of Senator Blalock's argu-
ment was that, if elected, he would do
all within his power to raise the
standard of fertilizer which costs the
farmers of Georgia such an immense
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.

urgent invitations to eligible young

Bank of Dawson, the City National

Standard Oil Co. and Judge NJ. c.
Edwards to the valuations placed on
their taxable property in Dawson by
the city assessors, and steps are now
being taken to arbitrate their differ
ences. Under the law the arbitra-
tions will be the end of the matter,
as the city has no authority to go
behind the work of the assessors and
equaliZe tax returns.
If the arbitrations are concluded
in time the tax rate for 1912 will
probably be fixed at the August meet
ing of the mayor and council. The
rate was s12 on the $1,000 last year.
