IOAS Hamilton county,
~. q vote of "A to 6, is considered sig
rfcant 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. Il A. should be
granted a 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 $124,00O an
nualIv as 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
bill received indicates the majority the
Chattanooga Broad street bill will re-
ceive."
That is what Senator Bass, of Ten
nessee. saYs-seZee!
There are two sides to this business,
nouever-as has been suggested be-
fore
And the Georgia legislature will do
we'll to keep an eye strictly on what is
going on up in Tennessee, with respect
to Georgias railroad property in Chat
lanooga.
Assistant Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture J. J. Brown is greatly Interested
in the diversification of crops in Geor-
gia. He thinks that is to be the saliva
ton Of farmers.
Brown halls from Ebert county and
is backing a movement there that IS
both significant and interesting.
Ebert county will send solid train
load of fat cattle to market on January
Ia 1914!
This may sound like a fairy tale to
great many people in this state, but it
is the exact truth.
For some time the farmers of old Ell
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
ion and lots of it, and by selling the
deecy staple be able to buy all the corn,
oats. meat and hay that they wanted
for homo consumption.
From year to year they have discov-
cEed when pay day came, that While
they had cotton to sell there was very
dull market. few people really wanted
to buy, and their crops almost went
begging.
This bad condition they propose to
remedy, in Il measure, by the Organiza-
ton of the Ebert County Live Stock
sociation-and j. ]. Brown is the man
behind the gun.
Every farmer in Ebert county is
nember-and on the date mentioned
they propose to send not less than l,5oO
me beevcs to market!
