FARMERS OBJECT TO
WAREHOUSE BILL
They Favor WarehOusemen Giving a
Surety Bond, But Think Present
Measure Too Drastic,

Editor of The News: We see from
the daily press Governor Harris is
being urged to incorporate in his
message for a special call of the leg
islature a bonded warehouse bill, sup
posed to be for the benefit of the
farmers in this state. We feel it our
duty as farmers to call attention to
the purpOrt of a substitute offered in
the last senate of a bonded cotton
warehouse bill. Our information is
that this substitute requires all ware
housemen who see fit to take advant-
age of this law when enacted to pay
an annual license fee of $50 up to
cotton receipts of 5000 bales and
$3.50 per thousand for each addition
al thousand bales received exceeding
this. The warehOusemen are to give
bond in some surety company. This
bill further provides that an examina-
tion is to be made of each warehouse
twice a year at an expense of $15
for each examinatiOn-to be paid by
the warehousemen. The commits
sioner of agriculture is to receive one
half of the money paid in by the
warehousemen, less the expense Of
examination, and the other half is to
be divided among parties who exam
inc warehouses.
AS an illustration of this plan, the
commissioner of agriculture and his
subordinates would get out of Ter
rell county should this bill be adopt
ed approximately $1,000, as there
are eleven warehouses in the county,
with initiation fee of $50 each plus
examination fee twice a year and the
premium on bonds. These charges in
the last analysis would come out of
the farmer who produces the cotton,
would necessarily increase his ware
house expenses. This bill would of
course make a fat job for the COM
missioner of agriculture and his sub
ordinates. How would the producer
be benefited by such an enactment?
1t seems that the state of Georgia
would spend many thousands of dol
lars for having this law put in force
and effect, which money would go to
the officers who control this business,
as the state would receive none of the
fees or any of the perquisites derived
from this source.
We are convinced that bill should
be introduced in the legislature re-
curing warehousemen to give sure
ty bond to cover the amount of cot
ton received during the season, and in
this case make the warehouse receipt
negotiable and answer all purposes
required by bankers and other cred
itors advancing money on cotton re-
ceipts We urge our senator and
representative to use their best en-
deavors to kill this bill and enact
some law that is conservative and at
the same time meet the requirements
necessary to make cotton receipts ne
gotable without so much expense to
the farmers. FARMER

KICKS ABOUT TAX RATE
CENTRAL RAILROAD REFUSES TO
PAY MORE THAN IA MILLS.
Alleges That Under the Georgia Law
Nine Mills Cannot BE Levied In
less Causes Are Stated.

less causes are DtStCu'
The Central of Georgia has regis
tered a kick against the tax rate, and
the case is pending in the courts of
Fulton county, the suit having been
transferred there.
After the close of the tax books
of Terrell county Tax Collector Fus-
sell issued fl fas against the Central
railroad just like he did the ordinary
fellow who failed to pay his tax, and
Sheriff Turner served levy on Dan
Finn, the company agent at DaW-
son. Things rocked along for several
months, when the railroad company
rendered Tax Collector Russell "a
mills on the assessed valuation OF
the companys property in Terrell
county, alleging that this amount is
all the county can collect under the
plan by which they made their tax
levy. The rate collected from the
other property owners in Terrell was
nine mills, but the attorneys for the
Central railroad entered a plea that
the tax rate is illegal because the
county commissioners did not specify
the causes for which the nine mills
were levied as is required by the law
when the rate is more than z "A mills.
Just what answer Terrell county
will make to the plea is not known,
but it is believed by some that they
will accept the amount rendered by
the railroad company.

A NEW AND TERRIBLE PEST
n Menace the Argentine the States of the South Which
I, E4a. Invaded-Scence Is Unable o Cope With It,
q Saturday Globe.

itA
of the Argentine ant worth consider
ing and chemistry is practically
helpless. 1t is as wise as the once
poisoned coyote, which has learned
it's lessons and simply moves away
temporarily from the immediate To-
cality. Scientists hold out no hope
of this ants obliteration or for the
possibility of preventing it's spread.
The ant came from Argentine by
way of New Orleans, and is gradually
being disseminated throughout the
south both by means of its own mi
grations and by the railroads and
floods. Ochards and fields have been
already ruined and abandoned be-
cause of it's depredations, and While
man as yet has seldom been actually
driven from his habitations by the
pest yet living with this ant means
continual warfare.
Bedbugs Disappear.
The only known redeeming trait of
the Argentine ant is that when it in
vades the house bedbugs disappear
But the remedy is far worse than the
original evil. Bedbugs at least do
not swarm through the butterdish.
The things that the bureau of ento-
mology says must be done on the
farm and in the house to keep the
Argentine ant under control to make
living possible are enough to induce
person to migrate to the North
Pole to escape this pest.

NEGROES AS FARM OWNERS;

The movement of southern negroes
toward farm ownership has been one
of the marked developments of the
past decade. Nevertheless, even with
general knowledge of this mo, e.

one-fourth of all the negro farmers
of the south own the farms they cul-

Negro population in the south is
dwindling except in the states of Ar

Besides the rate decision, which
was the dominant influence in the
market. there were other matters
which might very well have had an
adverse effect upon sentiment. The
rather unpleasant phase that the
Mexican situation has taken on was
something to suggest caution. An
other break In exchange In view Of
the spectacular importation of gold
promoted renewed discussion of tire
