The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the Second District did the eX-
pected thing in ordering no primary
to nominate man for the ROdden-
berry Congressional vacancy.
There will be a general election on
November ., called by Governor Sla-
ton, and this election will serve all
purposes. There are few negroes reg
istered in the Second, anyway. The
candidate who gets the most votes
will get the job in Congress. and he
will get 1t in one election. moreover.
The contest in the Second ia going
to be short-less than 30 days-but
it is sure to be extremely interesting.
There are so far just three candi-
dates, and II seems certain that no
others will enter despite the numer-
Gus suggestions recently.
The fight has narrowed down to
Roscoe Luke, of Townsville; A. W.
Covington, of Moultrie, and Judge
Park of Sylvester.
Luke has cleared his decks COM
pletely by resigning both the SoliC-
itorship of the Townsville City
Court and the Mayoralty of Thomas
Vile; Judge Covington "a former
judge, has nothing to resign; and
Judge Park, it is understood, will not
resign his Superior Court judgeship
to make the race. although that is
customary in Georgia.
State Commissioner Hart will ad-
| dress the voters of Jones County
shortly upon the new tax equaliza-
ton law.
The judge has been invited to do
this by Representative j. A. Hender
son, one of the most enthusiastic ad
vocates of the law in the State.
Mr.. Henderson thinks there are
some people who do not understand
fully this new law, and he has found
that 1t requires only an intelligent
explanation to convince the average
man, no matter what his previous
opinion, that the law not only is all
right, but sure to prove helpful to the
small taxpayers.
Judge Hart, since being sworn into
office as State Tax Commissioner,
has studied the new law exhaustively.
and expresses himself as very glad
indeed to accept the invitation to
Jones County. AS a matter of fact,
the Commissioner says he will be glad
to go anywhere, at any time, to talk
about this new law, if his presence is
desired, so long as it does not conflict
in any way with his duties in Atlanta.

BY JAMES 3. NEVtN.

State Entomologist E. Lee Wor-
sham, who has made long and care
full study Of the boil weevil condi-
tions in the Southwest, has succeeded
in arousing a great deal Of interest,
not only in Georgia, but throughout
the South. by his gratifying expert
ments in the line Of producing sat
isfactory brand of cotton that ma
lures early enough TO escape the raw
ages of the pest
Mr.. Worsham's bulletins and &C
casional promulgations seemingly are
received with eagerness in all South
ern agricultural departments, for the
press of the South recently has been
commenting upon, them freely and
favorably.
Mr. Worsham's ideas carry two
cardinal proposals-an early matur-
ing cotton that will resist black root
and the deadly wilt disease; and
the greater diversification of crops.
For three years the Georgia De-
partment of Agriculture. under Mr..
Worsham's direction, has been busy
Cultivating an early variety of cot
ton, as stated. Enough OF 1t finally
has been produced to make next
YEARS crop, which largely should be
saved for its seed, hatcher large. BY
the time the Weevil strikes Georgia
there should be sufficient seed of TINS
early maturing cotton on hand to
supply thousands of farmers.
The boil weevil gets in its work
upon late maturing cotton only. and
the experiments Of Mr. Worsham,
therefore, appear to be most prom
Using.
II the cotton planting schemes and
schedules are thus revolutionized in
the South, changing also the time OF
picking and marketing the crop, the
farmers easily may raise approx
mately the same amount Of cotton
they now produce and have time left
over to give to other and later crops,
! lending in this TO far more effective
diversifcation than heretofore.
And, anyway, whatever the out
come of Mr. Worshams work may be
eventually II Is a fact that il is at
tracing widespread attention all over
the South to-day, and bids fair to
bear excellent fruit.

While most people have heard of

The national government has ex-

them now nearly $4,00O,000 annual

received from other sources exceed
the government appropriations Tor

In addition to this $4,00O,OO0 there
is appropriated about 100000
annually for carrying on the exclus-
lively agricultural work of the depart

In most of the states the agricult-
ural colleges and federal experiment

They have conducted investigations

diffrent classes of soil in their
respective states to determine the

was sixty-two suits. The retiring Off

HUERTA OFFERS AMNESTY
GIVES POLITICAL OFFENDERS
CHANCE FOR ABSOLUTION.
Offer Has Been Taken Advantage of
by Some, and Is Expected to BE
Generally Accepted.

Generally Accepted.
MEXICO CITY.-The amnesty
measure prepared by Gen. Banquet,
military commander of the federal
district, absolving all political Offend
ers of whatever kind received the ap-
proVal of congress today.
The measure includes all persons
now under arms against the admins
tration, or in other manner foment-
ing a revolution, providing they put
themselves in accord with the gov
eminent within fifteen days from the
PRONUNCIATION of the decree.
This is the same measureof elem
ency so often offered by the Madero
administration without result. 1t is
generally believed that it VIII find
more acceptances now, backed as it is
by the warlike methods of President
Huerta.
Already fifteen men of the forces
under the notorious 'TuertO" Mo-
rales. one of the fiercest of the Zapa-
tista leaders, have accepted amnesty
as previously offered, surrendering
their arms upon payment being made
to them of fifty pesos each.
These men marched through the
streets of the capital today and at
tracted much attention by their ban
dit-like appearance, the variety OF
their costumes and the quantity OF
armament each carried. They were
a meek looking lot when diSbanded,
stripped of their belts, cartridges and
pistols. They wandered about mys-
titled by the sights of the city.

WILL STILL COLLECT THE TAX
DESPITE WEBB BILL UNCLE SAM
DEMANDS LIQUOR REVENUE.
He Does NOT License Sale of Whis-
key, But Taxes 1t. The Two Pol
icies Not Contradictory.

SAVANNAH, Gavin the gov
eminent continue to tax the sale Of
liquor in states which have enacted
prohibition legislation, is ques-
ton that has been asked as conse-
uuence of the Webb liquor bill that
has been passed by congress.
At first glance there would appear
to be good reasons why the govern
ment could not consistently continue
to collect revenue on the sale of an
article that, under the federal law,
is forbidden to be shipped into dry
states.
But it is claimed by those in au-
thority that the two policies Of the
government are in no wise contradic-
tory. In the first place, the govern
ment does not license the sale Of
whiskey. The $25 which all liquor
dealers must pay Uncle Sam is not
a license. 1t is a tax.
1t is pointed out that the prohibit
ton law is really more stringent than
the provisions of the Webb bill, as
it provides a penalty for violations,
and yet in states where prohibition
laws have been enacted the govern
ment has continued to collect its SO
excise tax.
These are questions to be handled
by the internal revenue department.
In Georgia after the prohibition
law was passed those dealers who
had the temerity to continue in the
liquor business before the exact stat
us of the state law had been deter
mined paid their $25 to Uncle sam,
and the internal revenue officers
were not at all backward about &C
cepting it, The Webb law was en-
acted for no other purpose than to
aid the state authorities to enforce
state prohibition laws.
1t is explained that the govern
ment will not cut off its revenue from
this source because it has reached
out an arm to help weak state OIL
Gals in the discharge of their duty.
