WANTS TO REBUKE SENATOR
SMITH FOR FAILURE OF
COTTON LEGISLATION.

Bonneville, Ca, Oct. 10, 1914.
Editor Chronicle:
Before the late primary and dur
ing the campaign which preceded,
Hoke Smith said the Southern farmer
can, and must, be protected. He
claimed that he had plans by which
the farmer was assured a good price
for cotton: and he filled our minds
with visions of II IL cent cotton.
He was so busy perfecting plans in
the interest of the South with refer
ence to the great emergency brought
about by the European war, that he
did not have time to visit his State
in the interest of his candidacy, but
stayed in Washington currying all
the favor he could by staying on the
JOB. After the election was over, he
found time to come away from his
job and manipulate the Macon con-
ventjOn in the interest OF HardWick,
who was wisely repudiated by the
people at the polls. 1t was disCov-
cred that he had not been perfeCting
any plans for the rejitt Of his con-
stituency, but had been buncoing,
deluding, and deCet9tng the people in
order to gain /Lheir votes and win
nomination under false pTetenscs.
This conduct on the part of Hcke
fully absoives every voter in Geor-
gia from any moral obligation to
support him IN the approaching cleo
ton. Not only SO, but inasmuch as
one cannot vote for HOke without
indorsing his reprch cnsible methods,
every principle Of good, sound NOR
ais requires that WO ShOOld vote
against him and thereby administer
the rcbuke to him which he so rich ~
deserves. | hope that you will pub
llsh this in the interest of fairness
and the public veal. The sooner
such men as Hardwick and Hoke are
repudiated, the better for our panic
stricken section.

The swapping Of the 1875 acres Of

me that the land on which Nashville,
Tennessee, is built was exchanged
for a cOW-bell.
In those days when cattle roamed
at large in the woods, a bell was
valuable property: it advertised the
whereabouts of the herd

grieved much over his trade. If
all that the newspapers are saying
about certain parts of Atlanta is
true, I'd rather own a decent pony
now, than to own those parts of At

What's especially queer is, that
some Of the most eminently respecta-
BILE people in the cities are the own
ers Of these vice dens, which are
the plague spots Of Christian civili-

Need I say that the eminently re-

part SIS to sell enough cotton
to pay off your guano note.
1t looks hard to have to sell your
cotton now, but what will make cot
ton go up? What will you gain by
holding it?
When our cotton mills get what
cotton they need who can take this
other cotton? Europe can take some,
but do you think she can take much?
The cotton you sell now to pay
your guano note may be the highest
price cotton you SELL
DO you realize that the farmers are
suffering from the results of this
WAR less than almost any other
class Of people? Manufacturing
plants are closing down and en-
ployees are losing their positions.
The railroads have had to turn off
hundreds of hands and those people
have not any wheat in their barns
or any pigs in their pens.
Our obligations are pressing us
and we need funds to meet them.
Please favor us by attending to your
note promptly, and oblige.

to tell us fool farmers just what our
duty is, and what we ought to do.

thought sneaking out, because it
will benefit me.")
This spring when others were pric-
ing lower than your people, you
stated, through your agents, that
you were in the business for the
money, and when you couldn't get
your profit, you wouldn't sell it,

or offering any advice-you attended

There are too many people always
ready to bank on the farmer and tell
him what to do. All farmers are
not entirely immune from inteIIi-

AS to the probable price of cotton,
that's a question of speculation with
all human beings, though there's
certainty, none of us are going with
out clothes, consequently, will con-
sumo cotton as heretofore. If Eu~
ropes mills cannot furnish her peo-
pie these goods, they must come here
for them.
AS to our guano cotton bringing
the best price, of course it would
seem that way to you. You should
recOllect we are on the other side
of this question, hence give US the
benefit thereof.
Then you come down to the shall
low question about farmers being
the least sufferers. Do / realize it?
No indeed, and neither do you. If
you apply good hard sense to the
question, even a person Of ordinary
intelligence should observe at
glance to the contrary.
Does not the entire South depend,
to a very great extent upon her ag-
ricultural interest for her trade
balance? Certainly she does, and
more, cotton maintains the balance
of trade for these United States

 Discussing the hardware mems con vention at Little Rock, from which he returned yesterday, Mayor Bloom said that the conventions are attended by about 400 men, these including repre- sentatives of the largest manufactur- CTS of the country.
 "The exhibit of machinery, mecha- nical appliances and hardware at the Little Rock convention was the best have ever seen," said Mayor Bloom last night. /" The latest automobiles, agricultural implements, cutleryware, intact. everything in the hardware line was shown. The exhibits sur pass those of many state fairs. I feel it will be fig benefit to the farmers cotton men and others to have this exhibit here. It is instructive as well as interesting.

 Much business of importance to this organization was transacted, each day being devoted to the different phases of the missionary work having been done during the past year, and also planning for the coming year. Re- ports from the different auXiliaries in the conference were very gratifying indeed. The amount of money raised by the conference during 1913 for local and cOnnectional work was more than $23,OOO.
 The Scorritt Bible and Training school endowment fund of $3,O00 was completed during the past year, and this makes it possible for the Lit tie Rock conference society to place a deaconess in this school preparatory for service in the home department The time having arrived for the selec~ ton, of a place..to hold our annual meeting in 1915, many Invitations wera saxtended, a9d after much dis cussfotl Carlisle was Sclfosen.

 McCarty discharged his pistol at the house of Anna Brown, S15 East Fifth avenue. and when Roundsmen Sid King and George Greaves attempt ed to effect his arrest, began running and firing at the officers. MT. Kings face was powder-burned, but other wise the officers were unhurt. In the exchange of shots, Mccarthy received a flesh wound, but it was not dis covered that he was wounded until after he had been. in the station an hour.
