larger cities of the southern states.
Sneads has a number of good stores.

UNCLE SAM CURTAILS
POSTOFFICE FORCES
Sweeping Changes Will Denote AS
sistanU Postmasters in Smaller
Cities to CIerkshipS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Sweeping
changes in the organization of the
postal service are expected to affect
practically every assistant postmaster
in Georgia. In the smaller cities the
postoffice department plans to abol-
ish the office of assistant postmaster
the man holding the job to be demot'
ed to a clerkship in the office.
The change is to be made in the
interest of both economy and eff
cheney. The postmaster is to do all
the executive work in the office and
as little as possible of the detailed
duties. He is to have trained men
under him to direct the actual work
of the office.
In the larger cities the same idea
is to be carried out in the demot1on
of superintendent of branch ofhces
TO assistant superintendent. The as
sistant postmater in large cities
will probably be retained. Atlanta
will be one of the cities in which this
will take effect imme-
diately.

recognize the wisdom of producing
enough of these commodities for
home consumption. Many of the
Southern states import millions OF
dollars worth of grain each year.
1T seems clear to this department
that Southern farmers should at least
produce grains for home consump-
ton as means of cutting down the
family expenses and that they might
increase their production of chickens,
guineas, turkeys and hogs to the
point at least of supplying their own
needs and the needs of their neigh
bors.

tempt to diversity his agriculture by
failure of banks and merchants to
extend him credit on other things
than cotton. 1t seems to me that this
has been short-sighted on the part of
banks and merchants.
"The hearty cooperation of indi-
viduals in the South, of land owners
and tenants, of all Southern organiza-
tions, bankers and merchants is
needed to bring about better direc-
ton of Southern agricultural enter
prise. If they should see fit at this
time to follow a constructive pro-
gramme such as has been indicated,
less labor and capital would go into
cotton planting and that the OUTPUT
of this particular crop in another
year would be proportionately reduc-
ed. At all events the South could

SPECIAL SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE
TALK IN ATLANTA THAT GOV.
SLATON WILL CONVENE THE
GEORGIA LAWMAKERS.


The Executive, However, Is Silent on
the Subject, Merely Saying That
Only One Member Has Requested
That Body Be Convened.
ATLANTA, Cain the offices and
corridors of the capitol on Thursday
there was a great deal of talk about
the possibility of a special session of
the legislature for the purpose of
taking steps to protect the Western
and Atlantic railroad, state property,
which is considered endangered by
the application of the North Georgia
Mineral railroad for a charter for the
purpose of building a line paralleling
the state road
Governor Slaton, however, has
given no intimation that he will or
will not call a session of the legisla-
ture. "All that l have to say" said
the governor Thursday afternoon, sis
that one member of the legislature
has called at my office and suggested
that call the legislature into ses-
sion"
May Take AttOney-Genera's Power.
The general consensus of opinion
about the capitol bears out the de-
cision of Secretary of State Cook and
the subsequent decision of Attorney
General Grice that the secretary Of
state has no discretion other than to
grant the charter to the applicant
road under the mandates of the law.
1t was advanced by several Thurs
day that special session of the leg
islature might be able to take the
power of granting charters from the
secretary of state and reinvest it in
the legislature, as was the case in the
past. This then would make the
granting of a charter to a railroad a
special act of the Legislature and
would take such action from the
jurisdiction of a general law.
The charter to the North Georgia
Mineral railroad has not yet been
granted. The secretary of state is
making investigation to find whether
the applicant has fully complied with
the law.

JAIL DELIVERY AT CUTHBERT.
Seven Prisoners Escape From the
Randolph County Bastile.

Randolph County Bastile.
Half of the inmates of the Ran
dolph county bastile took French
leave last night. Others might have
been missing he'd not the escape been
promptly discovered. AS the Jail
birds made their exit from the rear
they disturbed some chickens, which
began to make a noise that aroused
the occupants of the lower floor of
the building, and Deputy Sheriff YOn
soon appeared on the scene.
It seems that John West, a negro
boy small of stature, managed to
squeeze through the space at the bot
tom of the cell left to put the food
vessels through. He then found the
key in the hall and unlocked the hall
door. which gave liberty to the in
mates of the cells. To dig out through
the brick wall with a broken fork
and let themselves down with blan-
kets tied together was easy. 1t seems
that they secured a bar of some
sort.-Cuthbert Leader.

WASHINGTON, D. Secretary
Houston today sent letter to a num-
Der of Southern exchanges urging a
constructive movement for diversi-
fled crops in the South, rather than
an attempt to restrict the areage of
cotton. Referring to the request that
he secure and publish pledges from
planters to reduce cotton acreage in
1915 Secretary Houston said he be-
lieved this plan would not prove eff
fective. He based his belief, he said,
upon experiences of past years.
Secretary Houston's letter says in
part:
''In the face of past experiences
and knowledge of the human element
involved it does not seem likely that
an effort to induce Southern farmers
simply to restrict acreage will solve
the problem. In the past such an
effort has been made. 1t has been
found that where agreements have
been made to reduce acreage they
have not been observed, and that in
stead of a reduction of acreage re-
sulting there has been an increase
and the production of larger crop.
Many individuals thinking that 9TH
ers would reduce acreage have in
creased theirs, and the result has
been that which I have indicated.
1.-The constructive plan which up
peals to this department as wise and
practicable is simply this:
A Constructive Plan.
''To bring home TO the farmers the
fact that in the next year or n tie
next few wears the prices f air fo@d-
stuffs are likely to be high, and that
it is the part of wisdom for the farm
ers to make every effort to take ad-
vantage of the situation and to in
crease their products of foodstuffs as
far as possible. Even if the South
ern farmers should not think it wise
to produce grains for foreign export
or for interstate shipments in COM

would seem to us that they should
