Athens, Ca, Sept. -33 per cent.
more students have enrolled in the
long courses Of agriculture at the
Ga. State College of Agriculture UP
to this time than were registered
last year up to a similar date. The
increase is remarkable considering
that this is a short crop year for
Georgia, and certainly evidences an
appreciation of the college by the
farmers Of the state. Every part of
the state is welh represented in the
attendance.
When the present college building
was created some would have itthat
the building was too large, but al
ready the class rooms and labora-
tories are overcrowded. President
soule states, however, that proyi-
sion can be made for limited num-
Der more of agricultural students.
Inquiries being received indicate
that othere are going to enroll.

and another only four were here at
the final test. The visitors present
seemed to be very much interested

favorable impression, and bids well
for a livelier time another year. The

PERCY WILL TALK ON ''LAW REFORM" Chamber Weekly Luncheon to Be Open to All
 Members

Walker Percy has accepted an in- vitation to speak before the advisory council of the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday noon on Law Reform. The address will be delivered at the regular weekly luncheon. of the ad- yisory council at the Gold Lion tea room at 1 o'clock. The question that MT. Percy will deal with is one of the 1ivest issues in the state at present, while the speaker is well fitted to an- alyze the subject.
 An important announceme1t was given out yesterday by Secretary Babb to the effect that all members of the Chamber of Commerce would be eligi- bIe to attend the luncheons after this, if they hand their names to the sec retary's office on the Tuesday before the luncheon. Up to this time the luncheon has been open to only the members of the advisory council of the organization, but with the increased membership 1t was thought better to have the luncheons open to all In or der that places could be prepared In ample time, the clause to the effect that the names be handed to the secretary office Tuesday was put In.

OPERATORS PICNIC
 TO BE BIG SUCCESS
Industrial Men Anticipating Outing to Docena With Much
 Interest

That the Alabama coal operators out ing next Wednesday at Docena the new Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany's operation. is to be the most sue cessful ever held by the association, seems evident from the unusual interest be- ing exhibited in the plans and the very ex- tensive and varied programme that has been arranged.
 The entire industrial world is anticipat- ing the outing with much interest The variation from the usual plan of holding the affair at some time worn meeting place and holding it right on the indus trial firing line'' is what has heightened interest in the outing. The selection of men with such experience and learning to address the gathering will tend to pro- vide a large audience. The managers of it plan to give the attendants an intellect ual treat with not so much emphasis upon the "barbecuev feature of the outing. However. there will be plenty of fine bar beoue.
 Tho train leaves on a special schedule from the Louisville and Nashville station at 9:So o'clock The Frisco also runs near Docena, and those who desire may go on the early morning Frisco train. The company has created a plaza at Docena. where the affair will be held. It is de- signed to have at the plaza a clubhouse. school, church and store. The last named has been erected. Just on the edge of the plaza is picnic grounds where the mee ting will be held

FAIR ENCOURAGING
 THE BOYS GIRLS
Premiums for Boys Corn Clubs and Girls Can
 ming Clubs

The management of the Alabama State Fair Is each year emphasizing the educational and industrial value of the fair. The management appreciates that the Alabama State Fair. to serve the proper purpose, must do something more than amuse While the amuse ment features are made attractive enough to bring the attendance, those who come absorb the educational value of the splendid agricultural and Indus trial exhibits.
 In discussing this matter recently, Secretary Chaffee. who is an enthusiast on tho educational value of the fair and It's uplifting influence, stated:
 This year the State Fair association is making special effort to induce the youth, both the boys and girls of Ala bama, to take an interest in those things which go largely to make up the industrial advancement of the state This season we are offering seven premiums of $50 each for the best ex- hibits by members of the Boys Corn clubs of Alabama. These premiums are given with the distinct understanding that the boys receiving them are to  use the money for a trip to the National Corn slow at Columbia, s, C., in Janu- ary. 1913. Arrangements have been made with the National Corn show to lodge these boys free and board them at most nominal rate. While there they will get the benefit of thorough lectures and schooling course in im- proved corn culture.
 What I consider one of the best steps taken by the State, Fair this year is the offering of most liberal premiums for exhibits from the Girls Canning club of Alabama. These premiums are not only for exhibits by counties and local clubs, but also for exhibits by in- dividual members.
 "It is such work as this by the fair association that will make 1t more ap- preciated by the people of the state and show them that 1t Is doing most valuable work along educational and ind ustrial lines"

EXPECT WILLIAMS
 TO HEAD SEABOARD
Believed That Change in Stock Will
 Result in New President for the Road

The stock deal on the Seaboard Air Line resulting in the Williams inter- est taking over that line Is expected to result in the selection of John Skel- ton Williams as president. He will sue ceed President Meldrum, it is believed, who has been president for less than two years as a representative of the interests of Blair & Go.
 It is not believed here that the change will affect the present manage ment of the company excepting the presidency. c. H. Hfx, who has been in charge of operations and in many instances finances, will not be displaced, 1t is understood. Neither will c. R. Capps, vice president in charge of traffic.
 MT. Meldrum has been acting as pres ident without interfering with the man. agement in any particular. He was treasurer for the Blair interest and an accountant of unquestioned ability. However, President Meldrum has been in railroad service comparatively lit- tie. The ambition of MT. Williams to head the Seaboard is well known. He is believed quite capable of handling the Seaboard in a manner to make it produce results in every possible way.
