ON Hamilton county,
~ vote of "a to G, is considered sig
rtfcant of the passage of Senator
Bass railroad bill.
Senator Bass, in speaking Of the
matter recently, said:
Every railroad but the W. & A. has
moved Its yards. and there is no earthly
reason why the W. & A. should be
granted q privilege not accorded other
roads.
The opening Of Broad street would
add greatly to the improvement OF
Chattanooga, and no hardship could
POSSIBLY be worked against the state of
Georgia in the expense accruing from
the removal of the yards, as Charles
James has already offered $124,000 an
nuauy a. a rental for portion of this
property for business purposes, and in
all the state could easily realize 100000
annually in rentals
THE same people who fought my tel
ephone bill are opposing the passage OF
this bill, and the majority the telephone
bin received indicates the majority the
Chattanooga Broad street bill will re-
eaive"
That is what Senator Bass, Of Ten
nessee. says-sezee!
There are two sides to this business,
aowever-as has been suggested be-
Fore.
And the Georgia Legislature will do
well to keep an eye strictly on what is
going on up in Tennessee, with respect
to Georgia's railroad property in Chat
tanooga.
Assistant Commissioner Of Agricul-
lure J. j. Brown is greatly interested
in the diversihcation of crops in Geor-
Fia He thinks that is to be the saliva
zion Of farmers.
Brown halls from Ebert county and
is backing a movement there that is
both significant and interesting.
Ebert county will send a solid train
toad Of fat cattle to market on January
t.. 1914
This may sound like a fairy tale to a
great many people in this state, but II
is the exact truth.
For some time the farmers of old FL
bert have been gradually waking up to
the fact that putting all their eggs in
the cotton basket is not the very best
thing they can do for themselves.
They have listened patiently while
others have advised them to plant cot
ton and lots of it, and by selling the
aeecy staple be able to buy all the corn
oats. meat and hay that they wanted
for home consumption.
From year to year they have discov-
cred, when pay day came, that while
they had cotton to sell there was a very
6ull market. few people really wanted
to buy, and their crops almost went
begging.
This bad condition they propose tc
remedy. in measure, by the organlza-
ton Of the Ebert County Live Stock
7ssoCiation-and ]. j. Brown is the mar
behind the gun.
Every farmer in Ebert county is a
wonderland on the date mentioned
they propose to send not less than 1906
me beeves to market!
In the current issue of The South
western Georgian appears the follow
ing:
The editor of The Georgian has
talked with several gentlemen who
have recently visited Washington,
and all express the belief that Hon.
Charles r. Crisp will be a strong
man in congress and that he will
make the Third district an effective
representative.
Charlie Crisp enters the new congress
IN peculiarly happy circumstances.
In the first place, he is his fathers
son-and there vet remain in public life
many warm friends and admirers Of the
late Speaker-and enjoys the acquain-
.auc" Of every member Of the present
house and senate.
As house pariiamentarian under
speaker Clark, Mr.. Crisp has beer
,rOWn into very close relations Will
..e house membership, and there is nc
measure Of flattery whatever in the
statement that he Is both Eenuineiy
popular and respected among thai
Lembership He will have knowledge
NJ congressional methods, men ant
measures, in the very beginning Of his
Nareer in the national house, that re-
cures, as a rule, three or four terms II
me house for the average member to
assemble.
The prediction that Charlie Crisp is
IT'D develop into one Of the most usetu
ana effective congressman Georgia ever
sent to Washington is abundantly war
