tne prevention Of war--but in the
method of approaching the problem,
Mr.. Bryan resigned rather than sign
his name to the note, which states in
emphatic terms the demands of the
United States.
: Mr.. Bryan told his colleagues today
as they gathered about him in fare
well that his affecton for President
Wilson was unchanged and he knew
the president felt as warmly toward
him. Firmly believing he can advance
the cause of peace outside official life
and build UP sentiment to aid the
president. Mr. Bryan today went back
to private life.
Regrets Bring Tears.
The resignation of the secretary of
state over difference on a vital ques-
ton of foreign policy-itself unusual
in the annals OF American history
was most dramatically touched by
numerous manifestations of personal
regard for Mr., Bryan and his own
emotion at leaving the Office. Tears
stood in his eyes while friends COM
mended his courageous fight for prin-
ciples and his determination to elm
mate himself rather than continue in
the cabinet as possible embarrass-
ment to the president.
Real Story Yet Untold.
The story OF his fight to sway the
president is az yet untold. He made
no effort to align other members Of
the cabinet with him, and when he
came to the parting OF the ways. he
did not tell his colleagues. generally
hoping that his action to the last would
not produce any complication in the
cabinet.
For three days-from Saturday to
Monday-the president had. Mr.. Bry-
ans resignation under consideration,
and the secretary did not go to yester-
days cabinet meeting until the presi-
dents letter Of acceptance had been
received. Quietly the consideration of
the note continued and at the end of
the meeting the president and the
members Of, the cabinet expressed to
Mr.. Bryan their personal regret. Mr..
Bryan intends to continue staunch
political supporter Of Mr.. Wilson on
domestic affairs and believes he can

FARMERS MEETING AT
court HOUSE A SUCCESS
Prominent Men Make Addresses

Saturday president Chas. S.
Barrett of the National Farmers
Union and ]. ]. Brown, president
of the State Farmers Union spent
the day in the city,in the interest
of the Farmers Union in general
and to speak to the people of Ben
Hill county on the State Ware
house bill, urged by the Farmers
Union as one means to protect
the growers against the evils of
the present crop marketing
system. Messrs. Barrett and
Brown were met at the Hotel by
Mr.. w. R. Bowen, c.. A. New
conner and the Editor Of the
Leader Enterprise and escorted
to the courthouse. An interest
ed audience assembled there
listened to a short address by
Mr.. Bowen on the necessity for
greater intelligence on the part
of the southern cotton growers
in marketing their cotton and
outlining in a few words the
partial remedy at hand through
the ready co-operation of the
Federal reserve banks with the
National banks in the cotton belt.
Mr.. Bowen's remarks were given
close, attention. President J. j.
Brown of the State Union was
then introduced by A. ]. Sword,
a member of the Ben Hill county
Union and the speaker soon con-
WINGED his hearers that the
Unions plans comprise the en-
tire list Of economic remedies for
which the lawmakers Of the
State and Nation have for years
been petitioned and exhorted
with but little direct result.
according to the speakers view.
Among the remedies proposed
for the betterment of farm con-
ditions, was the Torrens Land
title registration bill, needed in
Georgia before a rural credit law
could hope to give relieve; stand
ardizing cotton warehouses and
validating warehouse receipts, so
that they could be used in the
money markets as security for
money at a lower rate of in
terest; better and more direct
cooperation on the part of the
farmer with the banker and bust
nessman of his market city;
greater confidence in their lead
ers and rehabilitation of the
Union in Georgia. Mr.. Brow
