HARRIS GRATIFIED
OVER THE RESULT
Law That Reorganized Agricultural
Department Is Putting Revenue
in the Treasury.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Former State
Senator w. J. Harris, who is the au-
thor of the present oil and fertilizer
inspection law, is deeply gratified
that his position concerning the same
has been amply justified.
1t is the view of Commissioner
Conner, who is said to have opposed
the law originally, that revenues
from such inspections will practically
be doubled under the new law.
Sufficient has already accumulated
from January inspection fees to pay
each of the eleven district agricult-
ural schools $4,000, and Commits
sioner Conner thinks all can be paid
the full amount of $4,000, that be-
ing the limit under the act creating
these schools, by May. This will
make a total of $4,000. All after
that will be carried into the general
treasury fund.
81 am very much gratified that
the law is working so well and so sat
isfactorily," says Senator Harris. Il
felt all along that it would bring
increased revenues into the state /

100000 JEWS IN PALESTINE
OF THIS NUMBER FIFTY THOUS-
AND IN JERUSALEM ALONE.
Are Establishing Stores in the City
and Buying Farm Lands in the
Surrounding Country.

There are now more than 100, 900
colonized Jews in Palestine, and ac-
cording to a writer in the Osman-
fischer Lloyd they are rapidly redeem
ing the country. OF these 10000 or
10000 are in jerusalem alone, and
despite the red passport" with
which foreign Jews must provide
themselves. and which limits their
stay in Palestine to three months,
their establishment of stores in the
city and their purchase of farms in
the surrounding country goes on. In
other words, these foreign Jews fur
nish the capital and the executive
ability in making the native Jews
of Palestine self supporting and in
many cases wealthy, while insuring
to themselves the basis of comforta-
BILE fortunes.
What this influx of Jewish capital
and brains has meant to Palestine
may be gathered from the figures
gathered by the Osmanischer Lloyd.

and about 10000 hectares 100000

Georgia Congressman Makes Decision
That May Hit Washington Tax

against a paragraph in the district

Representative Johnson of Ken

the ground that the law under which
the states assumed responsibility for
the funded Indebtedness of the dis
trict did not provide that the gov
eminent should pay half Of the in

An appeal from the decision of the

VERY GLOOMY
MANUFACTURERS SAY FERTIL-
IZER TRADE is OPENING
SLOWLY IN GEORGIA.
THE FARMERS WILL USE LESS

Sale of Tags by Agricultural Depart
ment Is Behind Last Year. Fifty
Per Cent of 1912 Sales Are Be-
ing Carried Over.
ATLANTA.-Conditions in the fer
tilizer trade are in no wise promising,
according to the talk among repre-
sentatives of the manufacturers and
the material men in Atlanta. While
they still have hopes of doing a good
business this year the season has
opened up very slowly, and the sales
today are considerably less than they
were at the same time last year.
There is no indication as yet that
the Georgia farmer is going to use
any more fertilizers than he did in
1912. In fact, if anything, figures
would seem to indicate that the con-
sumption would not be quite so large.
The one significant fact at this
time is that the state department OF
agriculture sold from Oct. I, 1912,
the opening of the new season, to
Jan. /, 1913, only little more than
$1,000 worth of inspection tags, as
compared with 81, 500 worth for the
same period last year. 1t is also in
teresting to note tina he sales OF tags
for the preceding season were less
than those for the season before
that. The total consumption OF fer
tilizers for the season ending Oct. l,
1912. was about per cent less than
for the preceding season, the de-
crease being approximately 10000
tons.
If there should be a similar de-
crease this year it would mean very
serious backset to the fertilizer in
terests throughout this section; for
not only did they have to contend
with comparatively poor business last
wear. but their collections have been
unusually poor in Georgia, and IN
probably SO per cent of the cases
they have had to carry their custom
ers over to the fall of 1913. rms
means not only the tying up OF their
capital, but a weakening to that ex-
tent in the security which they VIII
get on goods sold for the coming
season.
Another discoul aging factor Is that
the season has started out rainy
one, similar to that of last year. II
was the long rainy spell of the spring
and early summer of 1912 which had
much to do with cutting down the
consumption of fertilizers. II the
same thing occurs this year the Ter
tilizer men will feel as if some evil
fate is pursuing them. The way
things look now the fertilizer pusl-
ness for this year depends largely
upon what sort of weather is mad
for the next two months. If it is me
farming weather there is every rea-
son to believe that the sale VIII De
large, and that on the prospects OF
good crops everybody will be IN
good business humor.

NET GAIN MADE
BY BOIL WEEVIL
Cotton Pest Has Added Seven ThOus-
and Three Hundred Square Miles
to Its Territory.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Despite
the check in the movement of the
cotton boil weevil during the past
year on account of the unusual eli
matte conditions of the winter of
1911-1912 the insect has made a
net gain of 1900 square miles, ac-
cording to report made to the de-
partment of agriculture by w. D..
Hunter and w. D. Pierce, in charge
of the Southern field crop insect in
vestigations.
The total area infested with the
boil weevil in 1912 was 27S,00O
square miles as compared with 271,-
500 in 1911. Texas, with 1850
square miles, led the other states in
the area of infected territory gained
during the year. Alabama came sec.
ond with 800 square miles; Flor
ida third with 1900 sqaure miles,
and Mississippi fourth with $40
square miles.

.DRYs PUSH THEIR BILL
ALMOST CERTAIN TO GET BILL
PROHIBITING LIQUOR SHIP
NEENTS INTO DRY STATES.
WANT CONGRESS VOTE QUICK

Congressman Are Dreading Vote on
the Measure, and Would Like to
POSTPONE Its Consideration. Ire
mendOus Pressure Being Brought.
WASHINGTON.-The house COM
mittee on judiciary will report on
Wednesday the Webb bill prohibiting
the interstate shipment of intoxicat-
ing liquors into drsz territory. The
measure is practically identical with
the Kenyon bill, which has passed
the senate, and a dreaded vote on the
prohibition issue faces the house.
This information concerns and
alarms especially the members of the
rules committee of the house, for as
soon as the bill is reported members
of the judiciary committee will de-
mand a special rule providing for the
consideration of the anti-liquor bill
at this session.
The Bill Will Pass.
Should the issue be presented to
the house in this manner there is no
doubt of the passage of the bill and
hard blow will be dealt the liquor
interests.
Chairman Henry of the rules COM
mittee is reliably reported to have
promised advocates of the legislation
that the rules committee will report
a special rule making the Webb bill
privileged.
1t is likewise known that the ma
iority of the members of the rules
committee would like to postpone
consideration of such far-reaching
legislation, but tremendous pressure
is being brought to bear on the COM
mittee, and if meeting is held for
the purpose it is understood that
Chairman Henry will feel compelled
to bring up the liquor question.
Vote Will Be Close.
The vote of the rules committee for
a special rule probably will be close,
but so stiff has been the fight waged
by the prohibitionists that a suffi-
cient number of votes is expected
and the liquor fight will be thrown
into the house, where it will not be
specially welcome. If the rules COM
mittee declines to meet and report
out a special rule on the Webb meas
ure the inaction of the members will
have embarrassing complications
back home.

The United States government has
politely informed the state of Georgia
that unless the next director of Geor-

1t is understood that the trustees
of the experiment station consider
the attitude of the United States de
partment of agriculture well taken
and that they will insist that who
ever is chosen to succeed Martin V
Calvin shall be chosen for scientific
and agricultural efficiency and no
for political reasons or political pull
Mr.. Calvin's resignation takes eff
feet in July. The election of hi
successor will occur at the Apri

He HAD TO CLOSE SALOONS
OR STOP HIS PROHIBITION LECT-
URES IN OTHER STATES.
An Interesting Story of the Closing
of ROme'S Thirst ParlOFS by
SeabOIn Wright.

ATLANTA.-An interesting story
comes from Rome with regard to the
action of Hon Seaborn Wright, noted
prohibition lecturer and orator, in
closing up the Elks' Club and near
beer saloons in that city some months
ago.
Mr.. Wright, as is well known, is
making his principal occupation just
now. as he has been for several years
past, the delivering of prohibition
lectures in various sections of the
United States. Mr.. Wright talks
prohibition from Maine to California
and from the Lakes to the Rio
Grande
Mr.. Wright, it is stated. is deliv-
ering these lectures, or prohibition
speeches, under the auspices of the
National Anti-Saloon League, with
headquarters in Baltimore, and re-
port has it that the regular fee for
his lecture is 500 each, whether he
makes one a week or two a day.
Coming back to the Rome end of
the story, report has it that on the
occasion of a number of these lect-
ures in various parts of the United
States Mr.. Wright was little bit en-
barrassed by the question as to why
he had not been successful in pre-
venting the sale of beer and liquors
in his own home town, located, as it
was. in a prohibition state. OF course,
Mr.. Wright knew why, but 1t was
rather hard to explain.
Closed Them Up.
Finally, it is said, Mr.. Wright got
so worried over this persistent
"ghost of Banquo" that he determin-
ed to get rid of it, so that the next
time the question arose he could say
that Rome was a dry town in fact as
well as in name.
The result was that Mr.. Wright
came back to Rome and dug up the
law which permits the closing OF
saloon, barroom, blind tiger, or what
ever else the place may be called,
where liquors are sold in dry state,
on the ground that it is a public
nuisance. Mr.. Wright then went in
to court, applied for an Injunction
and closed up every place in Rome
where anything was sold that could
be possibly considered as cOming
within terms of the prohibition law.
