Lee County's Good
Fortune.

One who considers the plans Of the Central OF
Georgia Railway for the establishment in Lee county
Of an experimental farm and large colony, may see
at once that with proper cooperation IN this work. II
it is carried out viii result in great beGeft to the
county in building up and developing it agricuturaly
and otherwise Lee county is indeed fortunate N hay
ing this large tract Of land selected for this purpose
The fact that the tract lies wholly and well within
Lee county gives assurance that its development Will
give an impetus to every form Of agricultural develop
ment in the county 1t is up the people Lee coun
ty to get busy and profit by the opportunity afforded
them by the Central railway in its development work
in this section Of the state This county is one OF the
very few counties in this state that has been 50 sign
ally recognized by the Central.
It is true that the tract is little to Albany
than to Leesburg but the tract entirely within Lee
county and the people who settle upon it will pay ax-
es in Lee county They will trade in Lee county, too il
the Lee county merchants viii wake up to advertise and
hustle as they should. There is reason why Lees
burg and Lee county merchants should not get their
share 81 the trade Of the farmers who will settle on
this tract Bnt they will have to hustle to get it, as
there will be keen competitian in this regard.
Furthermore the people Of the county through their
county commissioners should aid in this work Of up
building Lee county, every bit of which makes Lee
county lands valuable. Let every LeeCo. citizen
read the words Of Agricultural Agent Jackson elsewhere
in this issue The county commissioners should give
their support to the work, especially in the way Of
working and improving every road in that section OF
the county The regular road to Albany by the way Of
the tract is already in good condition, but every road
leading the tract in that section Of the county should
be worked thereby encouraging the coonists to trade
in Lee county.

This should serve especially t., en-

Senators Wrangle During Day Over Plans of Reg
 ional Banks
$100, 100000 CAPIT "A L.
Under Control of the Federal Reserve Board, Was Plan Offered As Solution.

Washington, Nov lily a vote of seven to four, after an all day dis cussion of the methods of providing capital stock for the regional banks, the Senate Currency Committee this evening voted down the Hitchcock plan for a common stock cf $100,OO0- 900 under the control of the federal reserve board.
 Two plans offered by Senator o. German were taken up, but not dis posed of. One provides for half the capital stock to be subscribed by the banks and half by the public. The other contemplates offering the whole of the stock to the public, the banks to underwrite any amount not thus taken. Senator O'Gorman pre- fers the former plan. His plan also fixes the capital stock of each regi- onal bank at an amount equal to ten per cent of the combined capital of the national banks in each region
 Concurrently with this phase of the question today, there was an animated discussion over the sub- ject of the control of the regional banks. Senator O'Gorman favored the selection of directors of the re- gionals, even with public ownership of the stock provided in the Glass; Owen bill, the banks to elect six and the federal board to appoint three. Chairman Owen alsu favors this plan.
 Senator Hitchcock, N urging the adoption of his plan, held that it would obviate the criticism of the pending bill that required one regi- onal bank to discount the paper of another. With the $10o,00c,000 capi- tai of the regional at it's disposal and the reserves that would be deposited with it. the federal board. MT. Hitch cock said, would shift portion oI this capital from one regional to another, as it wass required to meet any situation that might af,ss.
 No definite action was taken on the pending O'Gorman proposition The committee evidently believes that the question of how the stock shall be provided and who shall control the bank is the crux of the whole problem and it may be several dayl before it is sufficinetly solved. There will be no further meeting of the committee until next Wednesday.

Negroes Start "Riot"
 At Union Station
Were Getting Best of Patrolman Scott When Others Aided
 In Subduing Them.

Robert and James Springfield, negro farmers from near Seherill, ran amuck yesterday afternoon at the Union station, and 1t required the combined efforts of Depot Police man Dan Scott and several husktl young men to land the negroes in the city jail.
 The negroes evidently were, under the influence of cocaine, as they started row in the negro waiting room at the station and when ap- preached by Officer Scott. who told them they must either behave or submit to arrest, they defied the of ficer and started in to give him a thrashing. Despite the eforts of the officer, who piled his club vigorous ly. the negroes were getting the best of him, when bystanders took hand and for a few minutes it was free for-all fight. with the negroes in the center of the mob, fighting like tigers.

Fielder's Chances Bright.

Princeton, N. J. Nov. Reports from al quarters of the state seem to indicate the election of James F. Fielder, who succeeded Woodrow Wilson as governor of New Jersey. Fielder's plurality is estimated at 10000, depending mainly on the vote secured by Everett Colby, the Pro- gresive candidate. Edward L.. Stokes, the candidate of the Repub- licans, greatest strength is in South Jersey while Fielder is expected to have strong lead in Hudson and other northern counties, including possible Essex, despite the strong opposition of the Smith-Nuggent faction to Fielder as the personal candidate of President Wilson.
 Secretary Bryan's recent speech making tour of South New Jersey is believed to have swung many votes to Fielder.
