for which government funds have

such state aid is more or less essen
tial to the preservation and continu-
ance of the station.
Commissioner Price stated today
that he was unalterably opposed to
removal of the station now. In the
inception of it he advocated the 1ocat-
ing of the station near Athens, so Il
could work in connection and cooper
alton with the State College OF Agri-
culture and the University. But since
it had been established in Spalding

lowed to remain there

though debate had been limited to one

Before the house adjourned al
amendments accepted had been to
broaden the scope. The house inveI-
tigation will probably be distinct from
that of the senate.
The most noteworthy feature was
the elimination of a provision for the
employment of counsel by the house
committee. Representative Levy, Of
New York, opposed to the nvestiga-
ton, suggested the possibility that Sanl-
uel Untermeyer, counsel for the

Representative Henry of Texas, de-

Finally the provision for counsel
was dropped. Henry on Wednesday

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? 50 -. -. -.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
THE quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
OF us fedueTS.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public Is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
The combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

Meeting on Wednesday.

He at once arranged for the meet
ing for Wednesday in order to lay
the situation before the entire board
and take such steps as might be nee
essary and which are pointed out in
. way By Secretary Galloway's COM
luunication Commissioner Price de-
sires it understood that he has no crit
cism of any one to make relative t.
the matter especially as the matter
has come to his attention only, and
he has no knowledge of any action
that might have been taken by Gov
ernor Brown.
Here is the crux of Mr.. Galloway's
statement: 81 regret to say that the
situation has now reached so low q
level of efficiency and made such ques-
tionable use of the funds appropr;-
ated by the federal government as TO
arouse concern and to raise the ques-
ton of continuing the appointments
to the station"
1t should be stated at the outset that
nowhere is there any charge, direct
or inferential, of what is termed graft
but the charges are that the funds
have been perverted from the legiti-
mate channels; circumscribed by the
acts appropriating the same; that too
much attention has been paid to pro-
ducing money crops and not enough to
the purely experimental; that a large
part of the money has been used for
buildings, which is in direct violation
Of the law, and finally that man OF
scientific training is necessary for the
preservation of the intents and pur-
roses of the situation.
State Aid Is Essential.
1t IS also pointed out that a mis-
take was made originally in estab-
i'sfine the station so far removed
from the State College of Agriculture.
Dr. Galloway also emphasizes the
need OF the state to do the very things

DANGER OF LOSING

Directors Of Experiment Sta

Atlanta, July Confronting the
very grave danger of having the fed
eral annual appropriation of 100000,
as the Hatch and Adams funds, with,
drawn from the Georgia experiment
station, a special meeting of the board
of directors has been called to meet at
the station on next Wednesday to take
srCh action as will satisfy the govern
ment, and insure continuance of the
funds.
Without such assurance and such
action as will change past policies Of
the station in way to conform to the
federal laws governing the use of the
moneys SO appropriated, which would
result in the withdrawal of the same.
it would mean the collapse of this
work, inasmuch as the state does not
contribute a penny to its support aad

as expense and per diem of the direc-

Inspection is Made.

Some weeks ago an inspection was
made at the station by DR. E. W. Allen,
one of the federal inspectors working
under the department of agriculture.
When he made his report to the de-
partment in Washington, B. T. Gallo
way, assistant secretary of agriculture,
writing then as acting secretary evil
IDENTITY in the absence of Secretary
Houston, addressed an extended COM
munication to Governor Brown, setting
forth all surroundings, facts and data
This letter was evidently referred by
the governor to J. J. Connor, then
commissioner Of agriculture, inasmuch
as under the law the commissioner is
president of the board of directors.
This communication was turned over
to James D. Price, commissioner since
July l, along with many other matters,
by Mr.. Conner when he retired. So
far as known no action of any sort on
this crucial matter had taken place,
and nothing was said to Commissioner
Price by his predecessor about the
letter from Acting Secretary Galloway.
Finding it among other papers, Com
missioner Price saw its big signifl-
canoe to the state and to the future
of the experiment station, particularly
as he has been a director for a long
while

GOV. Mann OPPOSES
REUNION IN 1915
Would Not Celebrate Fall of
the COnfedGraCy

Richmond, Va, July I'm a state
ment today, Gov Mann vigorously de-
MED published reports that he had al E
vocated a grand reunion of the armies
of the North and South in Richmond
in 1915, on the fiftieth anniversary o.
the evacuation of the Confederate cap
ital.
There is absolutely no foundation
for the statement that l advocated
such a reunion" said Gov Mann. The
friendly gathering of American citi-
zens who were soldiers in both armies
on the field of Gettysburg was a very
different thing from the proposed cele-
tration of the passing and fall of the
Confederacy participated with pleas
ure and pride in the celebration at
Gettysburg, but any reunion to com
memorate the fall and burning of
Richmond would be woefully inappro-
pirate"
The suggestion on the part of Rich
mond merchants some months ago that
a big celebration be held here in 1915
was abandoned after it had been bit
terly opposed by Confederate organiza-
tons and citizens.

FOREST FIRE LOSSES FOR
1912 LOWEST IN YEARS
Elaborate System of Guarding
National Preserves Responsible.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Accord-
ing to the department of agriculture
losses by fire on the national forests
in 1912 were the lowest of recent years.
Less than one acre to every thousand
was burned over. and the damage.
estimated at $50, 290, was less than 81
to every 1000 acres.
This good record is attributed to
favorable weather conditions and in
creased efficiency of fire-fighting or
ganizaton. With telephones and look
out stations fires are discovered more
quickly and fought more rapidly.
Fires outside the national forests
constituted more than one-siXth of all
fought by the rangers and guards.
About nine-tenths were eXtinguished
before they touched the forests. OF
fires within the forest boundaries
more than Is per cent. were on lands
in private ownership. Nearly one
fourth of the expenditures outside the
time of the regular forest force was
incurred in fighting these fires,
Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency. followed by rail-
roads, campers and incendiaries in the
order given. The greatest losses oc-
CURED in Arizona. Arkansas and Cali
fornia. About % per cent of all the
fires were started by lightning and
about 9S per cent. were due to care
lessness.
The total number of fires was 2,472,
as compared with 1859 in 1911. They
burned over, in the aggregate, 100000
acres as against 100000 in 1911.
