45,131 tons went to the United King
dom; 254 tons to France, ar1 245 tons
to the United States.
Food products like thosa mentioned
will be in such demand that ways and
means will be found to transport them
to Europe, and if there should be any
surplus doubtless the United States
will be glad to be a larger purchaser.
Other products, however, may not be
SO easily disposed of. For instance, of
the exports of salt cattle hides, over
10000 tons went to Germany; $4,000
tons to the United Kingdom; 1000
tons to the United States; 1000 tons
to Belgium, etc. Of flint cattle hides.
nearly 11,000 tons went to the United
States; 4,30O tons to Germany; 1850
tons to Italy; over 1900 tons to Bel
gum, etc. VI unWashed wool over
10000 tons went to Germany, $4,000
tons to France; 1880 tons to the Unit
ed Kingdom; 10000 tons to Belgium
and $500 tons to the States. Quebracho
logs and quebracho extract (for tan
ming purposes) were exported to the
amount of about $10,000,0O0. The ques-
ton for the consumers of such prod
ucts as these in the United States VIII
be how much of them can this country
buy? The greater the imports into
the United States from Argentina, the
greater will be the amount of exports
to that country. Both sides of the
question must be considered.

are its officers, life members, delegates
from county agricultural societies, and
six additional members from each
county, of persons in any way inter-

manufacturing, banking, mercantile,
or any one interested in the material

We call on and urge the people of

and encouragement to our people, and
bring out by conference and sugges-

people that times are not as dark and
gloomy as some may think and there
is a rift in the sky that portends

To the People of Georgia - During
the dark days of reconstruction, when

pondency that was ever over our state,
these great leaders, Howell Cobb, Rob-
ert looms and Benjamin H. Hill, made
their brave and grand addresses,
known as the Bush Arbor Speeches."
calling On our people to arouse them
selves and shake off the throttling
hand of our oppressors. Then our peo-
pie woke up and shaking themselves
like a mad lion, and their roar of i'll
dignation was heard through the
bounds of the entire country, saying
in no doubtful terms, "Thus far and
mo farther" to our oppressors and
their allies, the traitors in our own
midst.
Then those noble, true, patriots and
farmers, Benjamin C. Yancy, Mark A.
Cooper, Richard Peters, David W.
Lewis, David G. Barrow, DR.. James S.
Hamilton, and others, realizing that
on the farming interests of our State
rested the true source of our redemp-
ton and prosperity, reorganized the
Georgia State Agricultural Society.
sent out broadcast over the State their
advertisements and premium lists and
in the fall of 1868 held a fair in Ma

of the resources and possibilities Of
our grand old State was astounding,
not only to our own people, but to the
entire country.
Our people were encouraged and

gan. The Society has continued from
that date holding annual fairs, and no

Battles With Wild Tribes.

In the following year he served on
the staff of the British expeditionary
force on the Nile. From 1886 to 1888
he was commandant at Suakim. Kitch-
ener learned Arabic and studied the
people he was dealing with by dis
guising himself as an Arab and mix
ing freely with them. His passion for
work, his energy, and his command CT
detail earned for him the recognition
of Sir Evelyn Wood and Lord Wolse-
ley, who were at the head of the Brit
ish army in Egypt. He made a real
army out of the Egyptians and boldly
grappled with the problem of protect
ing Egypt from the wild tribes.
Kitchener's rise to notice was slow,
cause his army for a long period was
only engaged in little fights. 1t WAS
not until 1888 that he had trained his
Egyptians until they could fight. In
1888 he attacked Osman Digna at Han
dub, the battle ending in a retreat,
Kitchener himself leaving the battle
field with a bullet in his face. Later
in the year he led brigade of Su-
danese over Osman's trenches at Ge-
maizeh.
Two years afterward he began the

ment owing to his dislike of it's made
quate scope. He was appointed Brit
ish diplomatic agent in Egypt.
Lord Kitchener has never distin-
guished himself so brilliantly in the
field as many of England's generals,
but there are many who consider him
the greatest English soldier since
Wellington. He has often been called
by Englishmen "Our great patient
general" a title which Lord Rosebery
invented for him.

What and Where Argen-
tina Buys and Sells

SSSS\$
Washington, Aug. 19.-(SpeciaD-
A foreign trade of nearly a billion dol
lars year is enough to make the ex-
porters and importers of the United
States sit up and take notice of any
country, and Argentina crowded that
figure last year. To be a little more
exact, it was about $S8O,O0O,OOO. That
is nearly 1925 per capita. The for
eign trade of the United States is
about $44.20 per capita. Evidently Ar
gentina is some trading nation, and
the questions What and from whom
dos that country buy?" and What and
to whom does it SELF" are just now
of peculiar Importance. This Pan
European war is stirring up the bust
mes interests of the United States as
they have never been stirred before,
and they want to know a number #
things.
In this connection the Pan American
Union publishes in the current number
of its Monthly Bulletin a detailed re
view of the commerce of Argentina for
1913, which reveals some very import
ant facts. For instance, we find that
in textiles, including manufactures of
silk, wool, cotton and other fibres, A.
gentina imported nearly $90,0O0O00
worth; iron, steel, and manufactures
thereof, to the value of $50,O00,O00;
railway cars, automobiles, and other
vehicles, worth over $37,000,OOO;
earths, stone, coal, etc., nearly $751;
100000 building materials nearly $50,
100000; and food products, $35000,-
600 These are but six of the 10 major
classifcations given in detail
Who sold Argentina the goods? The
following are the amounts in round
numbers of the imports from each O.
the leading six countries, given in Ar
gentine dollars, and an Argentine dol
lar is worth about 81 cents in United
States money: From the United King
dom (Great Britain, not including Can
ada, Australia, or other possessions)
$130,9O0,00O; Germany, $71,OOOO00;
United States, $62,OOO,OOO; France
$38,OOO,OOO; Italy, $50, 100000; Belgium
$22,0O0,0O0. Of the total imports the
United Kingdom furnished 31.1 pei
cent; Germany, 1863 per cent; United
States, 14.7; France, 9; Italy, SO; Bel
GUM, 80. In other words, over i
per cent of Argentina's imports in
1913 came from four Of the European
countries now busily engaged in try
ing to exterminate one another
The second question, What and tc
whom does the country SELF" is about
as important as the first If Argentina
can't sell her products she can't get
the money to buy. That's a pretty
plain proposition. Now, what does
she sell? Pre-eminently food products,
needed just now by the warning ma
tons as perhaps never before. Last
year Argentina sold over 100000, 900
worth of agricultural products, con-
sisting principally of corn, $112,00O,-
600; wheat, $1O3,OOO,OOO; linseed, $780,
100000; oats, $2O,OOOOOO barley, ST.
100000; rye, $567OOO, potatoes, fruits,
hay, etc, in smaller quantities.
OF live animals and meat products
she sold $166,OO0,O0O worth. Of froz-
en- beef over $4,000 tons went to the
United Kingdom; 3,415 tons to Italy;
1882 tons to the United States, and
167 tons to France. Of frozen mutton

In favor of becoming n part of the
city. They declared that they were
quite sure that number of the eigh-

that they see eighty two are favoring

At the conclusion of these talks 1t
