DISTRICT PRIMARY
RULES ADOPTED BY
THE CENTRAL BODY
City Democrats Agree to Follow
Programme of the Ma
tional Body.

After lengthy discussion. the Demo-
cratic central committee last night at .
meeting in costellos Hail. adopted the
rules set down BY the Democratic Ma
tfonal Committee IN 1901 for the manage
ment OF the primaries IN the District
The Champ Clark faction had prepared
its own set Of rules for presentation. but
soon let the matter drop upon being con-
vinced the central committee was com
pelled TO abide by the regulations speci-
fied by the national committee.
The rules as adopted were used to
govern the local Democratic primaries In
1904 and 1905. Among the provisions are
that all candidates must signify before
May 20 their intention OF entering the
field. The rules also provide for the ap-
pointment Of three judges and clerk
In each OF the election districts. Each
OF the tickets in the various districts
name judge. The judges are confirmed
by the central committee. In case OF
contested elections. the judges appoint
an additional judge TO settle the contro-
versy.
Opposed by CIarl<ites.
A fiery discussion was precipitated
when william Mex. Clayton, secretary
Of the central committee. introduced q
erence primaries. The proposition was
bitterly opposed by the Clark faction on
the ground that as only a small portion
of the population OF the city votes, and
as there Is no system OF registration.
such primaries would not show in its true
light the Presidential preference OF the
people OF Washington.
1t was finally decided to refer the
matter TO the election committee OF
seven for consideration and report at the
next meeting.
The vote on the question was Is to s,
which shows the exact forces OF the
Clark and independent factions. After
much wrangiing It was decided TO use
the Australian ballot at the primaries.
This plan was vigorously opposed by a
few. but II was pointed out that the
rules OF 1904 distinctly state that the
Australian ballot must be used. The
opponents OF the plan were IN favor of
having separate ballots for each ticket.
Scratch Ballot Accepted.
The committee decided to use the
scratch ballot in the primaries, in ac-
cordance with the provisions OF the rules
of 1904. Thomas ]. Moore, OF the First
district, introduced a resolution provid-
ing for the use OF the straight ballot
He was supported by Walter J. Cos
telIo and Robert t. Mattingiy. The
resolution was finally ruled out OF order,
as the committee was compelled TO
abide by the regulations OF 1904. which
provide for q scratch ticket
]. Fred Kelley, Chairman OF the Gen.
tral Committee, presided. The meeting
adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening.

GEORGIA PRODUCES
MUCH FOR FARMERS
Farming Implements, Perfect
ed Seeds, Poultry and Eggs
in Bic Demand

Few states, if any. have surpassed
Georgia in the development of the man
ufacture of farm implements. Most all
of the new inventions are well adapted
and suitable for practical use on Geor-
gia farms. The people who are putting
these goods on the market have studied
conditions and have done much to solve
the problems. Included in the list Of
Georgia products are guano distributors,
cotton and corn planters, cultivators,
subsOil plows, harrows, cotton choppers,
etc.
Practical farmers Of Georgia have
given years of time and expended much
money in developing and improving va
rious seeds and plants that would be
suitable for the soils of their state
seeds that Wa produce best results. In
this they have been remarkably sue
cessful. and some of the best results
obtained are from Georgia grown SEED.
Others have turned their attention to
the poultry industry The result has
been most wonderful. Georgia is today
one of the great poultry producing
states of the union Many of America
first prize-winning birds are domiciled
in Georgia. Dotted over the state are
many fanciers an growers who are
offering their best stock to other Geor-
gia farmers.
Today we present advertisements of
many Georgia people. These ads are
worthy of your consideration.

GOLDEN EAGLE BUGGY
COMPANY WIDELY KNOWN
More Than Forty Thousand
Farmers Are Using Their
Product

There is probably no better known or
more widely advertised mandatory
in the southern states than the Golden
Eagle Buggy Co., and certainly no We
hicle factory in the south enjoying the
confidence Of as many users of one
commodity than this concern.
Seven and a half years ago they
started small factory on Edgewood
avenue, which quarters were several
years ago outgrown, and they are today
occupying one of the largest and most
modern vehicle factories in the south,
at IL, IA, Is and is Piedmont avenue.
This wonderful growth has been
brought about by honest, fair \and
square dealings and close attention to
business. Quality and prompt ship
ment is their motto. To visit their
shipping rooms any one would be sur
prised to notice the promptness and
accuracy with which orders are filled,
and also that they are shipping vehl-
cles and harness not only throughout
the south. but also into the southwest
and Atlantic states, together with an
occasional shipment into Cuba and the
West Indian islands.
Their growth has not been so rapid.
but gradually AMI surely, and once
customer always q customer. They are
supplying over forty thousand vehicle
users in their territory and expect to
put into the hands of the vehicde con-
sumers within the next twelve months
not less than $4,000 jobs. They are
large consumers of raw material. which
they buy here in the south whenever
possible, and have no doubt made it
possible for more young men from the
farm to earn sufficient salaries 10
where no doubt there will be other We
hicle factories started up in this sec
ton in the future,
1t is just as necessary to encourage
manufacturing as it is farming for
section to grow and become great. and
we not only commend to you the Golden
Eagle Buggy Company and their meth
cd Of doing business, but also the pal
ance of our advertisers and other man
nfactcr1es. whether orr advertisers or

Carter Guano Distributor

The Carter Guano Distributor is
proving to be a great revelation with

made daily.
The Carter Guano Distributor is

LATE PLANTING TIME
NEEDN'T WORRY FARMERS
Still Chance to Supply World
Says HRock Hill Plan"
Manager

planting time is going to be late
this year, but we had the same condi-
tions in 1897" said Frank Weldon. who
is managing the Rock Hill Plan" for
cotton acreage reduction in Georgia.
I'm 1897. no blowing was done until
April but, nevertheless, the farmers of
the south made 100000 bales. the
largest crop of cotton that had ever
been raised up to that time. That
jumped up the yield that year about
1850, 900 bales and the average price
dropped about $3.50 per bale from the
year before.
"Our farmers need not yet be dis
couraged by the delay. Our growing
season is long, and if they can get
to work in the fields early in April
there will be time enough to make more
American cotton than will be needed.
The world has been getting along in
the past with an average consumption
of less than 100000 bales per month"
c. c. Bass. of Rome. one of the larg-
est merchants OF north Georgia. was
at Rock Hill' headquarters yesterday
and, speaking of the movement for re-
duction of cotton acreage in his sec
ton, said:
Our farmers will plant more ground
in food crops this year than usual.
They are going to reduce their cotton
acreage and they will plant more corn
and oats. Our fall oats had hard
winter. Where the seed was sown
broad cast, the crop seems to have
been killed by the freezes The seed
planted in open burrows stood THE win
ter better, but 1 am afraid the stand
is not going to be very good. We can
plant oats for sometime yet"
J. F. Cook, president of the Citizens
bank, of McRae, writes to Frank We'll
don that if the rains continue 10 days
longer. the reduction of cotton acreage
in Telfair county will be so per cent.
Hon. A. b. Lovett, of Sylvania
writes that on account of rain and
scarcity of labor, the cotton acreage in
Screven county will be cut at least 10
per cent this year

TO PROTECT THE TREES.

Keeping rabbits from damaging
fruit trees is sometimes a difficult
task. They prefer young trees,
as the bark is tender and succu-
lent, but when hungry will nib
BILE on mature trees. The best
protection comes from keeping
the trunks wrapped with some
thing that will keep the rabbits
out. Wooden veneer wrappers
are made for the purpose. There
are also coiled wire and woven
wire wrappers. Newspapers, and
even corn stalks may be tied
around the tree. They are very
effective, but troublesome to put
on. All wrappers should be ia
ken of in the summer.

When painting an orchard we
must remember that it is a per-
manent investment and no pains

chase Of good trees. should be
spared.
Never buy trees from a trav-
cling salesman unless he pro-
duces credentials from a nursery
that you know is all right. No
matter how beautiful the pic
lures in his catalogue may be
nor how glib his tongue, stick
to the nurseries of known char

papers do not accept the adver-
tisements of fakirs if they know
it.
If you orchard is exposed to
high winds. plant a windbreak of
evergreens. but wait until spring
to do it.
A windbreak should never be
set closer than so feet from the
first row of trees, but they
should be set close enough TO-
gether to form a perfect protec-
ton We do not believe in the
theory that some people advance
that trees need to be exposed to
all kinds of weather and that
windbreaks are unnecessary. 1t

posing him to cold and inclement
