Watson's Obstacles.
It Is now evident that there are two
elements validating very powerfully
against the candidacy Of Watson. They
are:
F1rst-The fear Of Republicans who
seek nominations on local tickets that
the Progressives will refuse to support
them II Watson IL nominated
Second-A widespread feeling that
Miller 10 entitled to denomination be-
cause OF the sacrifice he made In 1914.
when it was apparent from the begin
ming that he could not be elected
There is large and active contin-
gent In Indiana that can't see why Mil.
Ter should be made the goat OF the
party merely to give Watson a chance
to shine. II the party is to be success
full In 1916 many are saying that Mil
Ter and not Watson IL entitled to the
fruits Of victory. for which the foun-
dalton is supposed to have been made
In 1914.
Owes Watson Nothing.
The claim cannot be advanced seri-
ously that the party owes Watson any
reward like the nomination for Senator
since he was elected to Congress for
ten years and was nominated for Gov
ernor in 1903. He has been delegate
at-large to the national conventions
and has had far greater reward for his
services than any Of the present gener-
alton of party leaders with probably
two or three exceptions
So at the outset the friends of Miller
and OF the other senatorial candidates
insist that the Watson boosters cannot
In good faith claim that he is entitled
to the nomination becaue of the things
he has done. However. the Watson
contingent 10 powerful and insistent.
He is persuasive and eloquent. The
combination would be invulnerable but
for the deprecated feeling that Wat
sons nomination might bring heavy
losses to the ticket. ~
Straw Vote Results.
The result of q straw vote taken in
Hendricks County and published this
week in q Republican paper at Dan
vile is disconcerting to the Watson
men. 1t gave Miller nearly $50 votes

weather Of the last few weeks has ap-
parently worked an injury to the late
sown wheat. The ravages of hog chol-

been checked to some extent, but there
is much complaint about the impure
quality CT the serum.

Appeals for Support.
Attorney c. R. Richardson made q
patriotic appeal to the colored people
of the city to support the government
Of the city. state and nation. He said
that the time had come when hyphens
must be dropped from the designation
Of persons nationality. The term
American" he said, Is the only term
that should be applied to any citizen
within the borders OF this country.
Sixth street.-The street which was
used by fugitive slaves on their way to
Fountain City where they secured the
protection of the underground railway
station of Levi Coffin-is dear to the
heart of the colored people Of this
city," said Mr.. Richardson. 1.-THE i'm
prOvement in this street is step in
advance.
Mr.. Richardson's speech was inter
rupted by the arrival of the fire de-
partment, which gave an exhibition
drill on the Tiff building at the cor
ner of Sixth and Main street.
The crowd. which had assembled to
hear the addresses Of Mr. Alfred Ba-
Wis, president of the board Of works,
not leave at the conclusion Of the
talks. The Richmond City band gave
concert until 4:3O o'clock which was
listened to by hundreds of people.
The following poem was read by DR..
l. S. Harold. 1t was written by Law
renee Handley' in honor of the occa-
sion:
"Spruce Up Sixth Street."
Come on, neighbor, be a booster,
Don't sit knocking all the time,
Don't refuse to help your city
Just because it costs a dime:
Buy some paint and get bucket.
Make the old place fresh and clean.
1t can't help but hurt your city
If your place looks sad and mean.
Most of us can we'll remember
When South Sixth Street was
fright
Full of mud and trash and trouble
Hardly fit to use at night,
Now we have street that's foxy"
And it's up to you to show
That you've got the vim and hustle,
And we're anything but SLOW"
Other streets are new and shiney,
Other buildings clean and bright,
Other folks may frown upon us,
But you can not find in Richmond,
Or in any place around.
Where there clusters fonder memories
Than in old Sixth Street abound

THEY REFUSE TO EAT

At periods in most childrens' lives
they fail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to

To compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.

To each any every one in Lee
County | desire to extend unto you
my sincere appreciation for the
kindness and respect shown me In
Lee County since | took charge OF
the Farm Demonstration and Ex-
tension Work, cooperating with
The States Relations Service and
The State College of Agriculture in
Lee County. Never have | been in
a county or community SO short a
while and made as many friends
as [ have in your county. desire
to congratulate the citizens OF Lee
county for the excellent gentlemen
She has, and the rich and juicy soil
you have for growing your yearly
harvest. All over the county with
| the exception of small strip in the
Southern part Of the county you
have some of the hest land that the
Dear Old State of Georgia possesses.
1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that you can grow any kind of plant
in this county from the sand spur
to wheat, which takes in every thing
| from the lowest to the best. Only
one criticism have I to make and
that is that the people do not de-
vote enough oftime to the raising
of their own stock, cattle and swine.
Any onefarmer should raise so hogs
to every pillow. You cannot do this
however if you devote all your time
to what was once call King"-----
cotton. You must realize that the
fuctuation OF the market will not
permit you to bet and invest in cot
ton too heavily. While yea know
what the meat market will do.
! You can raise hogs at onesha'f the
price per pound than that Of cotton
and you are sure of a price that
will net you actual cash, while with
cotton you are not sure. Next
/ year you will have to make another
crop without practically any fertil-
izer and what will be the outcome?

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
BY s. H. ROUNTREE

Convert your cotton land to raising
more hog feed and curtaiI the
acreage of cotton mole than you
did last year. There is no excuse
for the farmers of Lee county hav-
ing to buy anything out of the
store, with the exceptions of salt
and coffee in the way Of eatables
and of course what you wear. You
can raise your flour, meat, lard,
butter, rice, tomatoes and in fact
everything with the exceptions Of
the two above articles and it can be
possible to make and grow them.
At this time the Farm Demon
strator can do the farmers no good
with the exception Of encouraging
them to plant winter legumes and
SON fall grains, Suchas rape, rye,
wheat, oats, vetch, alphlafa, clover
and the like. ] want to insist that
every reader Of this paper will try
to plant as much as possible Of
any of these winter crops and most
especially rape, wheat and oats.
l will be glad to furnish any one
desiring prices of any OF the above
seed, quotations, and send you a
card to be filled in to get inocula.
ton material to inoculate your
seed which is very essential in
either case.
By special request Of Mr.. J. j..
Forester, who has the Farm Fem
onstration fund in charge, want
ask that all of those who subscrib-
ed to this fund to please send it in
to him as the demonstration is very
much embarrassed financially.

pound which will make them 500
per acre. Now, is there any farmer
in Lee county making an average of
800 per acre on his farm? The
answer is no. Then why not try
tobacco, and not all cotton. They
frequently get Zoe to 35c per pound
for their tobacco and you see where
their profits are. OF course, the
war has run the price down, but it
will not last always. So get busy
and start You truck and tobacco
J business and when the war ends,
you will be ready for better prices
and be in the swim. Don't sit idle
and let people from other States
come in and get the cream as we
have done before. They plant here
from 5 to $50 acres Of tobacco to the
farmer. OF course, there are not
many that can plant 100 acres, but
there are few large corporations
that plant large farms Of tobacco.
And have just read a statement Of
the Chamber Of Commerce as to the
amount Of money deposited here in
the banks, and they have on deposit
the first of September $53, 600, 900.
Some money and large part Of it
comes from truck and tobacco, So
get together and get busy and try it
and see if you don't be we'll pleased
and make money.
Now, COL, am glad you are get
ing out Booster Edition. Get the
people all over the county to take
interest in it and advertise what they
are doing and what they can make,
and it will induce people to come to
Lee county, and there is no better
agricultural county in Georgia.
Help the Editor, boys, and make
success Of it. l am doing fairly well
now aud hope to be with you all be-
fore long. Yours truly,
J. ii. HINES.
