of Georgia that Mr. Charles s. Barrett of this State
has again teen chosen the national president of the
Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union. He
was elected unanimously at the annual convention in
Chattanooga, other for the Office being pre-
scented to the assembly.
This is tribute as well earned as it is distinctive
For many seasons past Mr.. Barrett has applied TO
the affairs of the Union the energy and the vision
of true leadership He has made it force for good
not only to its members but also to the people
as whole. He has made it agency of education
and of social betterment and this he has been able
10 ACCOMPLISH through his ability to enlist the effort
and en- hIsiasm of the rank and file of its members
in behalf OF liberal and enlightened purposes
There is no cause of more vital concern to the
American people and to every department of in
terests whether they be commercial orindustral or
AGRICULTURAL than the of the farm. 1t has been

THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
FROM GEORGIA DEMOCRATS

The Democrats of Georgia will raise fifty thou
sand dollars for the Wilson.Marshall fund
This is the goal set at a meeting of fifty citizens
in Atlanta last Friday and il the enthusiasm which
warmed that conference is a popular omen, the goal
will be passed and set forward to many thousands
more.
This meeting called primarily for the purpose
OF efecting organization and of mapping out a
workmanly course to pursue 1t accomplished this
and more; for, the Democratic zeal that is stir

business council, with the result that than

This is cheering start on the upward road, but
it is only beginning 1t is expected that the Demo
Gratis of Atlanta and Fulton county shall subscribe
not less than ten thousand dollars to the needs OF
the national campaign; that additional ten thou
sand shall come from the other cities of the State
and that the counties shall crown the work with
ten thousand dollar donation Of their own.
This will be easy and promptly finished task
if each citizen and each community will render their
proportionate share of true patriotism The one es-
sentia is that every Georgia Democrat shall become
a partner in this good enterprise for the common
interests, however small his subscription may be.
There was never a time with recent generations
when the outlook for Democratic success SO
clear and heartening it is today; but, for that
very reason the party needs to put forth its utmost
vigor that it may materialze it's splendid oppor-
tunity.

FARMS AND BUSINESS

The bankers Of Kentucky, according to the Louis
Vile CourierJournal, planning to lend L-~.- or
ganized influence to a movement for better farming
in that State
Certainly, there is cause which should more
keenIy enlist the interest of business in general
than that of progressive agricultural for, after all,
it is upon the products of the soil that every depart
ment of commerce and industry depends.
This truth is coming home to alert manufactur-
ers and bankers and merchants and railroads the
country over 1t is an interesting circumstance that
in Georgia business and business organizations
are joining heartily in the movement to improve
farm conditions. .....~
Boards of trade and chambers of commerce are
realizing that one Of the surest to promote
the growth of their and cities is to help in
upbuilding the adjacent country.
Merchants are realizing that good crops mean
good trade and that whatever safeguards the inter
ests of the farm is to their advantage.
Railroads are awkening to the fact that they have
responsibility as we'll as an opportunity in develop
ing the country their lines traverse; and, so, they
are establishing experiment farms and are sending
forth educational trains.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has been a
leader in constructive work Of this character.
Through it's influence a number of fruitful confer
ences have been held to protect the states crops
AGAINST destructive insects 1t has established the
Southern Corn Show and only few Gays ago its en-
+ernrise In this regard supported by a liberal
contribution from the members of the Atlanta Clear
ing House association. -..
This is the kind of work that will quicken the
growth of every community in Georgia because it
makes for the permanent growth Of the State
whole.
