More PsCans In Georgia
Than Ever This Year

Il % =
brownsville, Aug. Is, That
there will be more pecan nuts in
south Georgia his season than ever
before is the general opinion Of the
growers.
This is owing not merely to the
fact that the crop is a good one but
is the result Of a larger number Of
trees that come into bearing. The
crop Of papersheli pecans planted
al through this section is a large
one but many of the young trees are
just beginning to bear well. Some
of the growers are very enthusiastic
over the crop on these young trees
this year and the knowledge that
they viii put on a larger one each
year as they grow older means that
it viii not be very long before the
output of these nuts viii be the
means Of bringing much money in
to. south Georgia.

tural education generally than ever

tory in the betterment Of its farms
and farming interests.
The work Of the Third District
. Agricultural aud Mechanical School
lis largely to be commended for this
reawakened interest in the better
ment of farms and farming in Lee

afforded there for the acquisition Of
modern and practical knowledge Of

lowest cost

Lee COunty,s Excellent Schools.

With the approach Of the au-
tumn, attention is directed once
more to the opening Of the schools
Of Lee county. II is a matter OF
congratulation to the people Of the
county that when the various
schools Of the county open Septem-
Der the work Of instruction will
be in the hands Of most efficient in
struetors in every school.
In its schools Lee county has a
strong drawing card fer the white
immigrant so strong in fact that
county schools here are unexcelied
by those of any other county in
Georgia which bids for immigrants.
The constant growth Of the schools
in the county and the gradual rais-
ing of the standard Of instruction
has brought these schools up TO a
degree Of excellence that is excep-
tional.
Not only in Leesburg and Smith
vile will the school facilitses be Of
the best, but also in the various
rural schools, which are readily ac-
cessible to all the people Of the
county. The citizens Of Lee coun-
ty should take the greatest pride in
their schools. Only the strongest
appreciation and the liveliest in
terest can serve to bring q county
school system up toa high standard
and to maintain that standard. In
proof of this, Lee county schools
will havethe largest enrolments this
session in their history.

There is no excuse for any ambi-
tious girl or boy failing to secure a
thorough, practical education now
days, when such schools as the
Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical school offer their OPP
portunities for almost no cost at all.
The priceless possessions Of an ed
ucation are made available to all
who will have them. That the peo-
pie Of Lee county are realizing bet
ter than ever the advantage Of this
school is most gratifying.
When the fall term opens Sep
tember there will be a number Of
young people from Lee county who
will be in attendance at theschool.
Every year the number increases,
yet there are many more young peo-
pie here who are. not availing them
selves Of the privileges afforded
them. But the steady increase in
attendance is highly gratifying, and
it forecasts the time when still
larger number Of Lee county young
people will attend the Third district
school and furnish even more help
full leaven for the agricultural in
terests of Lee county.

IN GOOD CONDITION
President Hall Visits Duluth and

Situation.

E. G. Hail. president of the Min

visitor in Duluth Saturday and Sun
day last. Mr.. Hall came to this city
for the purpose of conferrlng with
the secretary-treasurer over matters
pertaining to the Federation.
During his stay in Duluth, Mr.. Hall
attended the conference and banquet
given by the Stirrup club on the ques-
ton of public utilities. He was in
vited to speak at the banquet and
stated that organized labor was in
sympathy with the movement of the
club, and was particularly interested
in the question of municipal owner
ship.
Mr.. Hall said that labor conditions
are particularly wholesome through
out the state, that there is but one
small strike in Minnesota involving
the electrotypers of Minneapolis.
The unions of the Twin Cities are
taking marked interest in the coming
convention, which, Mr.. Hall declares
will be the largest in the history OF

Conventions of : the Minnesota

are to be held on the third Tuesday
in June, that is, the same day that
conventions of the Minnesota State

Organized labor takes an active in

PAPER MAKERS WILL

Owners Of Minnesota Mills Con-
fer In Chicago go-Eastern Max

It is probable that the demand for
the eight-hour day by the paper MAX
ers of Grand Rapids, Sortel and Lit
tie Falls will be granted. The man.
ayers of the three mills are now in
Chicago in conference with the own
ers, and it is believed that upon their
return announcement will be made OF
the granting of the eight-hour day.
Paper mills throughout the country
are fast making this concession Ever
{ since the starting Of the first paper
mill lin America, employees were re-
quired to work ln''2wo shifts OF IL
hours each. Three years ago paper
makers of New York struck for the
eight-hour day, and won. Since then,
other paper mills have gradually con-
ceded the shorter work day, and in
most instances wothout a strike.
News this week comes from Massa
chusetts to the effect that the Valley
Paper company of Holyoke, the last
Of the independent cities in that state,
will begin to work the eight-hour day
on July 1st. Some of the mills of the
American Writing company, the trust
are now operating on the eight-hour
day. but they have not put their Hol-
yoke mills on the three-shift system
Efforts are now to be made to secure
the still further extension of the
eight-hour day in: the trust mills OF
Holyoke, which manufactures the
higher grades of paper.
