Must Register by April 5
for Election Next Fall

All who wish to vote in the COM
ine state primary and state election
to be held this year, must register
before April 5th, next, unless their
names are already on the books lot
the last election in January. A good
many people are under the impress
sion that because no new reelstra-
ton will be required for the coming
county primary. that they viii not
have to register for the state prl-
mary to be held in the summer
This is an error. All persons VINO
wish to vote in any of the elections
this year except the county prlma-
lry, bn March 7th, must register on or
before April 5th, next, OF they viii
be disqualified.
The old lists. will be used in the
county primary, because it will be
Ihela before the books for the state
registration have closed and all
those who were elieibie to vote IN
THE last general election, and all
those who have qualified since can
:yote in that election, but In no oth-
er this year, unless there Is some
election called before the
Hooks close other than is now known

fore they close April 5ths are the
only ones who will be Qualified II
vote in the state primary, genera
election, presidential election or any
other election held after the 9Th Of
April.
| If you have not put your name on
the registration books since they
were opened by the tax collector
last fall you had better get it on al
once, as you cannot vote in any
election after the 5th of April I'M
less YOU do so. Do not think that
because you can vote in the coming
county primary, that you can vote
in every other election this year
without registering.

PatrOnize Home Industries

Atlanta, Feb 17-Southern mer-
chants, now in convention in At
lanta emphasize two kindred ideas
in all their speeches and discus
sions, "Patronize home industries,
and Keep Southern money at home.
These two sayings have become the
slogans of the conference.
The merchants don't simply mean
"patronize u.s." Their ideas are
broader and less selfish. They ap-
ply them to all economic activities.

try which keeps its money in cir

which sends a greater part OF its

We Must Grow More Corn

1t will doubtless amaze the av-
erage Southerner to learn that in
the census decade, 1899-19O9. the
eleven Southern States outside Of
Oklahoma decreased their corn
acreage Gal ,545 acres-that is to
say, they planted 641,545 fewer
acres in corn in the census year 1909
than in the census year 1899 Yet
such is the record according to the
official figures just made public by
the United States government.
Furthermore, every single Southern
State east of the Mississippi, except
Florida planted less corn in 1909
than in 1859.

A city ordinance will be enforced

required to put the kibosh on smoke.
Along with the smoke prevention
campaign is the movement for

an, who may be said TO have launch
ed the fight.
The sewer committee of the city
council has decided to spend half
million dollars, instead of $15O,000,
as heretofore in laying sewers. This
will be the greatest amount ever
expended in Atlanta in one year
for sewers. 1t will not require, how
ever, any more money from the
city treasury. The work is done on
the assessment plan and the assess

The garbage problem stares the

n ,rkct Bureau Urged
By Senator Hoke Smith
Bill viii Be introduced With
Other Agricultural Methods.
BY RALPH SMITH

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Hoke Smith has perfected a bill
providing for the enlargement OF
the work of the statistical bureau
of the department of Agriculture so
that it shall also become a bureau
of markets as we'll as staff stics.
The bill makes it the duty of this
bureau, thru snecial agents, to make
investigations as to the system OF
marketing farm products. cooper
ating or otherwise, In the various
sections of the United States and
foreign countries and to collect data
with reference thereto.
1t also makes it the duty of this
bureau to make Investigations as
to the demand for farm products in
various trade centers. involving the
worlds probable supply end demand
for staple products together with
special information as to other
farm products.
This information gathered in this
way is to be furnished thru bulletins,
daily reports and kilograms. if nee
cessary to different sections of the
country for the use of those engaged
in farming. The object of the di-
vision is to facilitate the distribu-
ton of farm products and to con-
tribute to the better marketing of
those things which are produced on
the farm.
This bill the senator has contem-
plated introducing from the first
and goes hand in hand with the
bill he has already introduced pro-
viding for agricultural extension
work from the state colleges of az
riculture all over the United States,
the object being to carry to the
farmer at his home all the know
ledge in agricultural lines that may
be gathered at the colleges and eX-
perimental stations on the subject
of producing crops, and then, thru
the second bill, to furnish informa-
ton about the demand for farm
products and the best methods of
marketing them.
The first bill for extension work
from the colleges of agriculture is
now before the agricultural COM
mite of the senate and Senator
Smith has received letters of COM
mendation of the bill from all over
the United states, which he will lay
this week before the committee on
agriculture. The bill has been in
dorsed by number of farmers Or
CARNATIONS throughout the United
States as we'll as by nearly every
state college of agriculture in the
United States.
Senator Smith will press both of
these measures, and he is confident
that he will be able to secure their
passage.

Aid Should Be Given
The 0cilla Southern

The people OF Macon Should Dy
all means encourage President
Henderson of the OciIla Southern
Railroad and meet him half way in
his proposition to discuss with them
in mass meeting the feasibility and
desirability of extending his road
from FITZGERALD by way of Rochelle,
Pineview, Unadilla and Perry, into
Macon, In his letter to the cham
Der of Commerce President Hender-
son says, in part:
I'VE are now. and have been all
the while, OF the opinion that to
extend this road to the city OF Ma
con by the way Of Pineview, Una
dillla, Perry and on into the city
of Macon, would give the people of
Nashville, Alapaha, Ociila, Fitzgef-
aid, Rochelle, Pineview, Perry and
intermediate points along the line,
I the shortest possible route of any
other line now built or that could
be built to your great city. This
line Of road would have local sup
port greater than any other road OF
its length in the state"
In our opinion, Macon can make
no mistake in helping to the extent
of her ability the opening up
of new interstate railroads into
her surrounding territory Much of
her wealth and of the solidity and
stability of her commerce and in
dustries have their source in the
substantial rural sections that are
her natural feeders, and every aid,
encouragement and convenience
for opening up our neighborhood
communications should be heartily
welcomed as boon to Macon.
President Henderson says that it
is the purpose of his company to
take some definite actor" soon as
to the further route of the road.
IF it is agreeable with you and
YOU feel interested in the PROPOSE
tion. which I know you are" he
writes the Macon Chamber of Com
.merce, Il would be glad if you
would name a date from the middle
to the last of next week, notifying ME
at Ocilla as nearly as possible that
i might meet with the Chamber of
Commerce and the citizens in mass
meeting or in whatever way you
might suggest. | am sure that the
road is within your grasp, moving
all the towns and cities along the
line with their volume of commerce
closer to the great Central City of
the state of Georgi a.
TO make this extension it would
naturally be expected that ali the
points along the line would interest
themselves in every way possible to
aid and encourage the road"
The sense of the Chamber of
Commerce, as expressed yesterday
was that Macon should 60 after this
road and the body very properly |
and promptly authorized its secre-
tary to correspond with President
Henderson and agree with him on
a date for the proposed mass meet
ing
The meeting should be held and
every reasonable effort made TO OBJ
tain the new railroad.-MacOn Dali
