The Farmers Meeting.

Professors Campbell, Kiger and
Jones, of the College of Agricul-
ture, addressed a fair-sized aud
ieace at the court house this
morning. Farmers from every
district in the county were in the
audience, and the subjects dis
cussed were given close atten-
ton.
The College of Agriculture is
Icing a great work in sending
these educators among farmers
n the State, giving practical
talks onthe problems that daily
confronts the tiller of the soil.
Too much Importance canrot
be placed upon these meetings,
IS they will gradually develop a
more intelligent handling of the
soil and a better understanding
of the many pests and their rem
edies that annually cut off the
profits of the farmers. One of
The great needs in the county is a
county demonstration who would
assist the farmers in putting into
practical use some of the n any
useful suggestions and tried ex-
periments made by the State Ag-
ricultural College at its demon
stration farms. A demonstration
farm in South Georgia is one of
the needs of the day, as the prob
lens of farming in South Geor-
gia are somewhat different than
in the sections where expert
ments are mostly carried on.
In the absence of President
Martin, Vice President L. Ro-
bitzsch presided over the meet
ing. Mr.. Martin failed to be at
the court house on account of the
failure of getting in touch with
the speakers, whom he expected
to meet at the train this morn
ing. The afternoon session was
presided over by the President.

congressional district of Georgia,
will not 60 to Panama with the
congressional party sailing today
from New York, although he had
been invited to go upon the trip,

waiting upon the senate, but as
conditions changed Mr.. Crisp
thought his services might be
needed there and so gave up the
idea of going upon the trip to the
isthmus.

Lobbyists Hard at 1t In
Atlanta.

Atlanta, June PAT all de-
ponds what one means by "lob-
bying" as to whether the accusa-
ton is true that lobbying is going
on here in Atlanta on the eve of
the opening of the 1913 assembly.
If lobbying means the efforts
of people who are not members
of the legislature to influence
their friends in the legislature,
by argument and promise of mu-
tual support, to vote for thisror
that measure, then the state cap
ital, the hotels, the whole city
constitute one gigantic lobby
for nobody is doing anything
else today. Everybody is working
FOR something.
But if lobbying means bribery or
use of undetermined means to get
legislators to vote for this or that
measure, then it y safe asser-
ton that the capital of Georgia
is about as free from lobbying as
any city in the land.
But using the word lobby with
out it's dishonest significance,
there are dozens of lobbies at
work among the legislators-new
county lobbies, prison reform
Hobbies, child labor lobbies, con-
pulsory education lobbies lob
bies for practically every pro-
posed change and reform that
will come before the legislature
for action.

Can Stop Heart 10 Minutes
ThOracic Operations Easy
as Abdominal Ones,
Asserts DIR. Carroll.

Surgical research has proven
that operations in the thorocic
cavity can be performed as easily
as the abdomen, according to DR..
Alexis Carroll, of Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research,
New York.
In the course Of a lecture in
Paris the noted prize winner de-
clared that experiments on ami
mails had demonstrated the heart
be an orgrn of very great re-
sistance, and that it does not suf-
fer harm if the circulation is in
terrupted for five or even ten
minutes.
The brain, however, said DIR.
Carroll, is more delicate and may
not be interrupted for more than
three or four minutes, which,
nevertheless, gives time for the
accomplishment of much surgical
work.-Ex.

and New Jersey, that can lay claim to
being the main battle-ground of the

was spent In the latter state and in its
northern end. In this region occurred
the dreadful suffering at Valley Forge,
the battles OF Monmouth, Trenton and
other historic Incidents in which Wash
ington was the central figure.
The colonies had not at that time
thrown off the aristocradc customs in
