PRESIDENT AND MRS. WILSON
VISIT PRINCETON, n. j. TODAY

said he expected to return here late
this afternoon.

MACON, Ca, Sept. 26.-Hugh NJ. Dor
sey, of Fulton county, will be nom
mated as the democratic candidate for
governor of Georgia by the state con-
vention which assembled here this
morning. A continued outburst of ap-
plause greeted the keynote speech of
j. r. Smith at the democratic state
convention here today Smith, in his
address referred to President Wilson
as the greatest president since Wash
ington," and this was the occasion
for the applause, which resounded
throughout the convention hall and
found its echo in the throat of every
delegate attending.
A caucus of the Harris delegates to
the convention was held this morning,
and the candidacy of Judge Price Gill
bert for the vacancy on the supreme
court bench is being backed by the
caucus. A fight on the floor of the
convention, it is indicated at this hour,
will develop before the final selection
CT Justice Lumpkin's successor is de-
termined.
The nomination of Hugh NJ Dorsey
as the party's candidate for governor
in the November election was made
unanimous, the Harris caucus decid-
ing at its session not to present the
veteran governors name before the
convention.
Deep resentment has met the move
to nominate Judge Frank Harwell, of
LAGRANGE over Judge Price Gilbert,
Of Columbus to fill the. supreme court
vacancy caused by the death of Jus
tice Joseph Henry Lumpkin, who died
two or three days before the recent
primary Governor Harris appointed
Judge Gilbert to fill the unexpired
term of Justice Lumpkin.
The Fourth congressional district
caucus, composed of convention dele
gates from Muscogee, Judge Gilbert's
home county and other counties in
that section of the state, last night in
structed Edgar Chancellor, secretary
of the caucus, to record with the con-
vention resolution passed by them
in which it is urged that no endorse
ment be given to either Judge Gilbert
or Judge Harwell for the place.
An acrimonious debate came on the
matter during the Dorsey caucus with
the passage of resolution favoring
Harwell, who was the active cam
raign manager for Hugh Dorsey in the
primary, and who it is conceded was
powerful factor in the Atlanta mans
successful race for governor.
1t is currently rumored here early
today that permanent Chairman Flynt
is the choice of Tom Watson as head
Of the convention and chairman of the
executive committee during Dorseya
term as governor.

lost about 10 pounds in weight and

to try it. told her 1t VISA no use
but finally to humor her tried a lit
tie and they just struck my taste
1t was the first food that l had eaten
in nearly year that did not cause
any suffering.
well, to make a long story short,
I began to improve and stuck to
Grape-Nuts. j went up from 1876
pounds in December to 1874 pounds
the following October.
MY brain is clear, blood is all

work Of fighting In the Macedonian

They look anything but soldierly,

their balance precarlously kept by
having one foot thrust in a rope

1t might be enlightening to "the
farmer" with the hammer and gratify-
ing to our friend "the Hayseed" boost
er to know that five years ago the
officers in charge Of the United States
agricultural department had reached
the conclusion that the method OF
sending out tons of bulletins annually
from washington and state experiment
stations was practically a failure and
the chief of the department told the
writer personally that they had about
decided that the best way to improve
agricultural conditions Of the country
was to have men working by counties
or definite districts for the purpose Of
coming into actual touch with the
farmers themselves on their farms.
In a federal report for 1912 the
statement was made, that by reason
Of improved methods brought about
through the work Of A. B. Ross, gov
eminent agent in Bedford county, Pa.
the returns from the agriculture prod
ucts of that county for that year were
approximately 100000 greater than
before.
In 1914 the state Of Alabama paid
out S. 100000 more for food stuffs than
the total value of the states cotton
crop. Recognizing this serious fact
the chamberE Of commerce OF Birming-
ham in the north, Montgomery In the
center and Mobile in the south acting
together, started a statewide agri-
culture Improvement campaign. The
assistance Of DR.. Bradford Knapp, head
Of the bureau Of farm demonstration
work at Washington, was enlisted. The
federal government appropriated $25,-
900 annually, the state of Alabama 9

plemented by county appropriations
