AhOlce FOR commissioner
OF Agriculture?
THE &Gilreath Press Syndicate" is the name
of an Atlanta dope factory that sends out
alleged news matter to the innocent rural
ROSTERS of bucolic journalism
The weekly output of the Gilreath SYndi-
cate looks Vlrtuolsy partisan until it
switches IN paragraph against some man
who does not run with the Corporation gang.
Its fling at Guyt McLendon, candidate for
Railroad Commissioner against Paul Tram
NELL, probably cost Paul some spot-cash out
lay. Paul runs with the Northern corpora
ton gang which seeks to rule the country.
But the Gllreath patriots seem to have
fondness for Jim Price, the more or less sober
recipient Of the Macon Convention steal of
1919.
Here is the Gilreath dope on jim:
Atlanta, Ga-There is at least one political
race this year which seems won before election
day, and that is Farmer JIM Prices campaign
for reelection Commissioner of Agriculture.
His friends are pointing out that he is real
farmer and real Democrat, whereas his oppo-
nent }. }. Brown, was guano agent, and a Wat
sonite. Brown has the endorsement of Tom Wat
son, and in the memorable campaign when Joseph
NJ Brown defeated and then ran as an indie
pendent J. }. Brown cast his vote for him. His
record in this matter has done great deal to
1nJure what chances Brown had.
It there are two men whose antecedents are
personally known to me, those two are Jim
Price and j. J. Brown.
The Prices Of Oconee County have been
landlords and social aristocrats, from Of old.
DIR. Price, the father Of Jim was as proud
man as ever held his head up, and enjoyed
inherited wealth.
This IS not meant to reflect upon his charac-
ter la the least for think he was fine old
type Of the ante belum sIave-owner.
Jim Price was born with a silver spoon in
his mouth, and he never had to work day ia
his life.
The smartest brother he had was Popu-
list, and when Weldon Price died he left be-
hind him the sad reflection that be had had
In him the making of one of the most useful
Georgians we ever loved and lost.
James D. Price is not a successful farmer,
and his model farm is myth.
James D. Price has failed In nearly every
thing merchandising, oil milling, convict
leasing, and farming
James d. Price is not democrat, except In
name By nature and social habit he is an
aristocrat with convvial tendencies
This means no reflection upon hum Or his
family: it is simply the truth. When Jim
Price poses as one of the common people. one
of the "boys," he is out of his element alto
gcther.
In a letter just received from friend wEo
knows, this passage occurs:
Price has made the charge that J. J. Brown
did not own a farm and farmer, he stated
that in his speech last Saturday at Decatur, also
said that j. J. had said Price sure dickering
with the weather few weeks ago for rain,
not only in the interest of the farmers Of GeOr-
gia but for his poor wife and children that was
over in Oconee his farm, and they were writ
ing him letters and phoning that the drought was
parching and whitening his corn, and cotton had

Old Time Ballads Wanted.

A nationwide hunt for old time
ballads has been begun by the
United States bureau of education
Lost versions of the songs that
helped mold the character of the
men and women of colonial days
are sought and every state is eX-
pected to interest itself in the task.
Convinced that many of the Eng
lish and Scotch popular ballads OF
olden times still survive in the
United States and that immediate
steps are necessary to rescue them
from oblivion, the bureau has COM
missioned Prof C. Alphonse Smith
of the University of Virginia, a
prominent folk lore investigator, to
institute a national search.
IF our American versions are
not collected Immediately they new
er can be collected at all" said
Prof Smith today. Many influ-
ences are tending to obliterate
them"
A list of 305 of the ballads has
been distributed to teachers and
others by the bureau of education.
The plan is to start a ballard collec-
ton for each state, so that state
folk lore societies may be encour-
aged to keep up their work. Win

Put a Little Alfalfa With Your
Clover


This is good way to get your
fields inocculated for alfalfa Every
time you SOW clover, put little
alfalfa seed, say about a gallon to a
busheD of clover seed.
While you will not handle the
field in the best way for alfalfa yet
an occasional plant, several on ev-
cry square rod or perhaps even sew
eral on square yard. will grow and
continue TO survive as long as the
field is in clover. If there are any
bacteria at all in the soil and the
indications are that at least a few
are found in almost all of our soils,
then these scattering alfalfa plants
will increase the bacteria and in the
course of a few years the field will
be well inocculateG.
This is much cheaper than haul
ing soil from your neighbours field,
buying culture inOcculation, or los
ing crop because of no inoccuIa-

VISION OVER PHONE WIRES.
English Scientist Makes a Startling
Prediction to Auto Engineers.

London, June I1.-"Seeing by wire
was the startling suggestion convey
ed in a lecture given before the Insti-
tute OF Automobile Engineers by DR..
\. NJ. Low, well known scientific
investigator.
DR.. Low gave demonstration yes
terday for the first time i'm public of
"a new invention whereby he claims
that it is possible for persons using a
telephone to see each other at the
same time
In an interview DR.. Low said:
1t may be remarkable, but in real
ity it is quite simple, and | am sure
that some day, perhaps not in our
time, but some day, people on liner
at sea will be able To witness a spec
tacle taking place on shore, transmit
news is now sent
Dr. Low explained that he had been
experimenting with the reproduction
of pictures at distance electrically for
i've years. He had been successful
already over a distance Of four miles,
using ordinary telephone and tele-
graphic apparatus.
Another prediction DR.. Low VEN
tured was that one Of his machines
could be used for the study OF mill
tary operations taking place at dis
lance. This. he said, would be intro
ducing a new complication into war
fare and realizing with a vengeance
Napoleon's idea of strategy-"seeing
what the enemy is doing on the other
side Of a mountain"
The apparatus which DR.. Low, who
is only 30 years of age, has invented
is extremely difficult to describe ex-
cept in highly technical language. II is
a screen consisting Of large number
OF cells of seInium, over which a ruler
is moved rapidly by a small motor
worked with a current of high fire.
quency ana OF about $4,000 volts pres
sure II is Gttcd in box at the side
Of a telephone. The receiver at the
other end is made up of series of tel
cphone slabs of steel, through which
the light passes,
DR.. Low admitted that the experiment
was expensive and that at present the
invention was perhaps not CONNER
Cially possible.

CATHOLIC MAJORITY IN
PRUSSIA IS PREDICTION
PROTESTANT PoPULAcE is FAST
DECREASlNG-JEW BIRTH
RATE rs SMALLER.

Berlin. June l7.-That Prus-
sian will have Catholic
ma jority I'm two or three generations rs
the conclusion of two writer's, who sep
arately have been studying the statis-
ties OF population. In 1873 out of eV-
cry 1000 children born in wedlock 6OS
had Protestant parents, but by 1911
this number had sunk to $40. ON the
other hand. the number of children of
pure Catholic parentage rose i'm the
same years from 3S9 To 40S. The con-
clusion is drawn that If the movement
of the past SO years continues unchang-
ed for another, period of equal length,
the purely Catholic births will then be
47S as compared with only 43j Profess
tant These figures leave out of ac-
count the children of mixed marriages
and those of Jewish parentage.
II is interesting To note that the per-
centage of Jewish births has fallen
more sharply than that of the Protes-
tants: where there were Ill Jewish
births per 1000 in 1875 there are only
81 in 1911 The school statistics of
Prussia strillingly confirm the move
ment described above. From 1856 TO
1911 the gain of Protestant pupils in
the common schools was 100000,
whereas the Catholic pupils gained
100000. In explaining the cause Of
this movement it is pointed out that
Protestant population OF Prussia is
much Weather than the Catholic, and
it is also much more largely repre-
scented in the big cities-and it is pre-
cisely among the Weather classes and
in the urban population that the birth
rate has declined most sharply.
