ORGANIZED LABOR

Washington, D. c., May 29.-Repr9 !
sentative Carlin, of Virginia, issued a
statement today explaining the com
promise agreed upon between the la
Dor leaders and the administration
leaders on the trust bills.
The labor provision of the anti
trus bill as agreed upon gives labor
the right to exist as an organization,
and in the language of the Baltimore
platform, declares that they shall not
be held to be a combination or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade" said he.
This will prevent a bill being filed
on behalf of the government for a dis
solution of the labor organizations. 1t
does not exempt labor from specific
acts which would constitute a re-
straint of trade or a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade. 1t is a clear cut, clean
statutory enactment of the provisions
contained in the Baltimore platform"

t...o4GEs ,WORk

Athens, Ga, May 29.-Th annual
reports of the College of agriculture
at Athens have been submitted to
the trustees at a meeting held earlier
than usual to enable President Andrew
NJ. soule to leave for Europe where he
is to study agricultural conditions
during the summer, with a view to
adapting some of their best methods in
Georgia.
The annual report of the president
shows that the college has had its
most successful year. A large in
crease in attendance is shown and the
extension demonstration work has
been enlarged by reason of subscrip-
tions made by individuals in Georgia.
Speaking of the years work at the
college. the chairman of the board of
trustees, Maj. ]. J. Conner, says:
THE longer the college exists IN
der the able and splendid administrc-
ton of DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule, the
greater evidence the board has of his
patriotic masterful handling of the in
stitution.
During the time the college has ex-
listed since its reorganization in 1906
the progress has been very gratifying,
but the present outlook eclipses any
thing of the past.
The financial condition of the in
stitution is encouraging due to the eff
ficiency with which the funds have
been administered, and in face of the
fact that the legislature at its last
session failed to appropriate as much
money to the college as we felt was
absolutely necessary for its continued
growth. The failure of the legislature
in this respect caused us to retrench in
some lines, but the present outlook is
such as to be pleasing to all patriotic
Georgians. individuals have come to
our relief with private funds, causing
US to be less crippled than otherwise
we would have been.
"A very gratifying increase in at
tendance has been noted. This cou-
pied with the numerous private sub.
scriptions indicates that the hearts of
the people of Georgia are behind the
college.
THE board has a very amicable
meeting and every one had perfect de-
light as to the future outlook. Thel
truth is that no institution of similar
character in the south enjoys a pres
ent condition and future outlook equal
to that of Georgia's. This is exceed
ingly encouraging for the reason that
in many particulars Georgia's institu-
ton is the youngest in the list.
Another encouraging feature to
the board as well as to every
Georgian, is the passage of the Smith
Lever bill by congress, permitting the
use of gradually increasing amounts
for extension-demonstration work.
While these funds can not be used for
enlarging the teaching force or the
college equipment, and therefore does
not directly aid in building up the in
stitution, it does make possible greater
usefulness of the college to the farmer.
How far Georgia will avail itself of
this fund for the farmers depends upon
the action of its legislature"

GENERAL

 Goes to War
 Sickles raised the famous Excelsior Brigade in New York, taking command of one of its regiments as colonel Lincoln kept his word and in 1861 raised him to brigadier general. His fighting spirit early won him his spurs. On the Peninsula and at Antie- tam he distinguished himself as sol dier and leader. At Chancellorsville he led a division. At Gettysburg he led the Third corps, lost leg, and became a national hero. At S7 years of age he had risen from a colonel to major general of volunteers.
 After the war his fighting spirit led him to the regular army and he be- came first brigadier and then major general. He continued active service until 1869, when he was appointed min- ister to Spain by President Grant.
 At the court of Spain Sickles' vig- orous personality made him a domin- ating figure. Four years of brilliant diplomacy brought him the epithet of "The Yankee King of Spain" Here he contracted his second marriage, with the beautiful and distinguished Senor- ita Creagh. This romance was fol- lowed by estrangement which was to last more than quarter century. In addition to this domestic trouble came his interference in the marriage plans of his daughter to penniless Span ish nobleman. Father and daughter separated in bitterness. the latter to return to the United States to die with out reconciliation.
 Returning alone to New York, Gen. eral Sickles again entered politics. He served as sheriff of New York and at 67 he was reelected to Congress.
 General Sickles' life drew to close with frequent romantic situations He faced bankruptcy proceedings in his last years, though he had early in life received large share of his fathers $2,000.000 estate, but his estranged wife and son came to his aid on sev- eral occasions.
 His last days were spent at 23 Fifth avenue. New York, surrounded by war relics and attended by his faithful ne- gro servant.
