FERTILIZER TRADE
OPENS UP SLOWLY
Conditions Thus Far in Georgia

Atlanta, February Especial. )-Condi-
tlons in the fertilizer trade are in no
wise promising, according to the talk
among representatives Of the manufae-
tlrcrs and the material men in Atlanta
" hle they still have hopes of doing Il
good business this year, the season has
opened up very slowly, and the sales to-
Gay are considerably less than they We're
at the same time last year.
There is no indication as yet that tho
Georgia farmer is going to use any more
fertilizer than he did in 1912. In fact,
II anything, figures would seem to indi-
cate that the consumption would not be
Quite as large. However, the experience
Of past seasons is that il Is impossible to
ludge by conditions so early as this.
The one significant fact at this time IS
tnat the state department of agriculture
sold from October 1, 1912. the opening OF
the new season, to January J. 1913, only
a little more than 5000 worth of inspec-
tion tags, as compared with $500 worth
for the same period just one year ago. 1T
is also interesting in this connection to
note that the sales of tags for the preced-
ing season were less than those for the
Sc ason before that. The totai consump-
ton of fertilizers for the season ending
October /. 1872 was about per cent less
than for the preceding season. the de-
crease being approximately 10000 tons

GEORGIA MAY TAKE

State Would Take Steps to
Protect Beds From
"Oyster Pirates"

Atlanta, February 2.-(special)-oys
will probably form the subject of some
sort of legislation at the coming session
cf the general assembly, If the recon-
mendations of the state game commits
sioner, Jesse Mercer. are carried out
As the result of numerous complaints
which have come from coast cities, chiefly
from Brunswick and Savannah, about the
destruction of oyster beds by what are
known as "oyster pirates" Mr.. Mercer
has already taken steps to protect the
beds insofar as 1t is possible to do un-
der the present laws. but he has found
that il will require additional legislative
provisions If the oyster industry on the
coast of Georgia is to be protected and
preserved.
What Mr. Mercer wants the legislature
to do is to pass law taking over the
ogster beds in the name OF the state, re-
plant them from time to time. and charge
a royalty for all oysters removed from
them by regular oyster fishermen This
is the system now enforced in some OF
The coast states, and one which it is said
works very well. At the same time Mr..
Mercer is in favor OF making as liberal
provisions as is possible, SO that all
who wish to do so may have access to
the beds on the same terms. His only
purpose is to protect the industry, and to
II event the disappearance of the oysters

net far distant danger unless present con-
diiions are materially changed

Governor Brewer had a talk this morning

he did not know what TO do. He comes
from that part of the state; he has had
all sorts of experience with floods in the
Mississippi valley, and knows what they
mean: he knows that the people of the

Imprisonment the death sentence imposed
Upon a Baldwin county murderer a few
days ago, because of the fact that the
court had assigned Inexperienced counsel
TO defend him, has been the subject o.
no little comment among the lawyers OF
Atlanta and this section on the subject.
The public generally approves the ac-
tion taken by the governor, but numerous
expressions are heard TO the effect that
the courts should be required by law
10 appoint able and capable counsel for
The defense of those charged with crime
who are not able to employ their own at
torneys.
1t has been the practice in the courts
cf Georgia to assign to the defense OF
pauper criminals young lawyers who are
Just making their way in the profes
sion. and who, it is assumed, are anxious
for this class of practice in order to give
them the experience they need in court
work. Likewise, the older and more ex-
perienced lawyers have SHE'D at this class
Of cases because they feel that they have
served their time in this line. and because,
too, they consider their time and talents
are too valuable to be employed in this
way
The discussion recalls an interesting
story which Judge Walter G. Charlton of
Savannah used to delight to tell of the
late Judge Pratt Adams when on the
bench of the Chatham superior coure.
There was an ignorant negro indicted
and brought up for trial on the charge Of
having killed a Savannah policeman. 1t
SO happened that the case was called
when a large number of Savannah's most
distinguished lawyers were in the court
room on business. Judge Adams asked
tie negro If he had counsel, and upon
<Eeceiving reply in the negative, re-
marked with twinkle in his eye, We'll,
who would you like to have to defend
you? Look around the court room there
and pick out one of these gentlemen
The defendant cast his eye around the
court room for a moment and turning
back to the court, replied:
Boss, I believe I'd like to hab Mr..
Julian Hartridge and General jackson"
These two distinguished lawyers, when
assigned by the court, did not hesitate a
moment to take the case, and they went
into 1t with the same vigorous effort they
would have given a client with a big fee.
rNe result was, instead of the gallows,
which was staring that negro in the face,
-7hen the jury came in with its verdict,
he got off with a sentence of voluntary
rnanslaughter
