1914 CORN CLUB PRIZES
GEORGIAN WILL GIVE $1,000 IN
PRIZES IN TEN CORN STATES
III. G. Hastings Tells Of the Enthusi-
astice Plans Which Are Already
Under Way in Georgia.

TA-Enthusiastic plans
are already under way in Georgia
for the 1914 Corn Club contests and
for another big annual show like the
one which took place at the state
capitol in December and brought
hundreds of sturdy farmer boys to
Atlanta from all sections Of the
state.
H. G. Hastings, chairman OF the
agricultural committee of the Attain
ia Chamber of Commerce and man
ager of the Georgia State Corn Show,
will have general charge of the eXhi-
bition again this year. 1t was
through the influence of Mr.. Hast
ings that the Chamber of Commerce
took up the corn show work, and his
interest has been a leading factor in
it's success.
1t is impossible to estimate the
value of the Corn Club movement to
Georgia agriculture. The production
of corn in Georgia has been increased
between $30,000,000 and $40, 00G.-
600 during the past six years. The
fathers of the Corn Club boys, who
first looked on the movement as a
fad, have at last come to realize its
great practical value, and are now as
much interested as the boys in in
creasing the productiveness OF their
land.
The Corn Club movement has
spread all over the South, and extern
sive plans for this year are being
made in practically all the Southern
states. Mr.. Hastings has renewed
for 1914 his offer of $1,000 in corn
club prizes to be distributed among
the ten principal Southern corn
growing states. The H. G. Hastings
prizes in Georgia include $3.50
scholarship at the State College OF
Agriculture and cash prizes of $50
and $40.
The Hastings scholarship was won
last year by Carl Campbell of Pauld-
ing county, who made 1913 bushels
to an acre at a profit of SASS,
The state record was made by Ed
ward Wellborn of Morgan county
with 181 bushels. He chose as his
prize the Percheron mare offered by
the Central of Georgia railway.

THE old idea of the toll roads
that the cost of maintaining the
roads should be borne by those using
them-has been shown to be erro-
neous. One might as we'll say that
the fire department should be main
tanned only by those who suffer from
fires or that those whose houses are
robbed should provide the where
withal to support the police.
The burden of making and main
tanning our roads should be borne by
those who benefit from their i'm
provement-by all those dwelling in
the United States, since everyone in
the country would share in the ben
efits accruing from the increased
commerce and the decreased ex-
penses following the general and ad-
equate improvement of the roads
throughout the country.
Robbing Rural Life.
"The monetary loss to the nation
through it's huge system of bad roads
is sufficient to cause serious concern,
but when you consider unimproVed
roads are one of the main causes OF
the alarming exodus from our rural
districts, that bad roads form a men
ace to our health and hinder our ed
ucational development, the indict-
ment is of such gravity as to demand
immediate consideration.
1T is true the cost Of improving
the 2,155,OOO miles of road in the
United States would be heavy
about $4,000 per mile for first-class
work which would withstand the raw
ages of time-but it would not be
necessary to improve all the roads
at once. If only 20 per cent OF the
roads we're improved to within SO
per cent of first class condition the
tremendous cost of the transmission
of goods from producer to consumer
would be cut in half, and the people
of the United States would save
themselves something like $500
o 10000 600 "a a year, when one considers
all the savings incident to the pres
ent system of the delivery of goods.

.PENDLETON LEFT BIG ESTATE

MACON, Ga.-Mr. a. S. Pendleton

HAD PROSPEROUS YEAR
Stockholders of Cherokee Life Insur-
ance Co. Hold Annual Meeting
and Elect Officers.

ATLANTA, Jan. 19.-Prominent
business men from all sections of the
South attended the annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Cherokee
Life Insurance Company, at which
the following officers were elected:
President, Barry Wright; vice
president, E. w. Butler; secretary,
G. K. Henshall; R. NJ. Harper, treas
urer; Lloyd Damron will continue as
manager and director Of agencies; ;,
DR.. w. w. Landrum, of Rome, medi-
cal director.
At the meeting of the directors
there was read an interesting COM
munication from Insurance Commits
sioner of Georgia William A. Wright
congratulating the company on the
success attending its conversion from
a mutual to a stock company, and
the directors endorsed statement
made by the president at the meet
ing that the fixed charges of the in
stitution are less, in his opinion,
than those of any other insurance
company in the United States pro-
portionate to the volume of business
transacted.
Favorable comment was also made
at the meeting on account OF the
present schedule of salaries of Off
GERS. Under the present schedule
the combined salaries of the five
principal officers of the company
amount to $500 per annum, or less
than the salary paid single officer
by some companies writing smaller
volume of business.
An evidence of general prosperity
and healthy conditions throughout
the South is shown in the fact that
the company closed the year 1913
with business issued in excess Of So
100000. In the last month Of 1918
the company issued nearly 100000.

The stage is always tolerably ac-
curate barometer of popular morals;
and the stage of New York has sunk
20 level where indecency squats at
the side Of idiOcy. That is SO evident
that even the actors have begun to
rebel. But the most discouraging
thing about it is that over it has been
thrown patch work cloak of hypoc-
risy. When Paris says: 81 like a.
wicked play and goes to see it there
may be much to object to, but after
all it is open and above board. There
is no pretence about it. Now behind
the dirtiest plays of the New York
stage there is a dirtier pretence of
reform-of the moral lesson. AS
you know, the New Yorker has al
ways the best possible reason for
rolling in the gutter. And it is in
the name of social hygiene that he
has degraded his stage, in the name
of morality that he has plastered his
picture theatres with scenes from an
underworld that self-respecting rats
and dogs run away from.

IF the cost of hauling in this

would add another $50,000,00O to
its income by passing equitable road
laws and substitute wise and equ1ta-

In connection with this subject
there are two or three interesting
items, proved by statistics in this

does not know.
Are you aware, for example, it
costs more TO deliver a pound OF cot
