the Carter county delegates we're not

that threc-four,hs of them will be

that John Fields. the republican par

hurt the candidacy of Harris by
charging that Harris did not arouse
enthusiasm among the republicans in
the last election. That charge is un.
fai, for the reason that Mr.. Fields
nor any other man i'm the state could
do that. The republicans felt that
they did not have q chance and as

COOPERATION AMONG FARMERS

Cooperation, or collective market
ing and purchasing, is on the in
crease among American farmers.
Such organizations, it is announced,
will transact this year a total bust
ness amounting to more than ST.
400 100000.
This estimate is made in the an
nual report of the Office of markets
and rural organizations of the nat
ional department of agriculture. is
sued last week
While agricultural cooperation in
the United States is far more pre-
valent than is generally believed, the
report says, it is not established up
on a sufficiently strong business ba-
sis.
Officials of the national agricul-
tural department have studied the
various methods adopted and are
endeavoring to perfect them. 1t has
been found difficult, however, to
overcome the American idea of every
man for himself, and to get men to
act together for the welfare Of all.

FAVORS WIPING OUT
ALL DIVORCE LAWS

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 31-That the
State of Georgia should wipe all its
divorce laws off the statute books for
at least ten years and allow the pop
ulation to get new start in life, is
declared by Judge j. T. Pendleton, of
the superior court here.
Our dij be record here in At
lanta is nothing short of shock
ing" declared The judge, land l see
no prospect for betterment except
through a complete abolition Of the
divorce laws for a term of years.
Perhaps by that time husbands
would find out that it is not such a
difficult matter to live together after
all, and they might become con-
WINGED of the wisdom of settling
among themselves disputes of home
life instead of rushing pell nell into
the divorce and alimony courts"
Judge Pendleton says that divorces
are becoming more numerous every
day all over Georgia and particular
ly, he says that by the time the
present year closes it will show that
more than coo divorce cases have
gone through the local courts.

TALLAHASSEE FULLY ALIVE

Quite number of State papers
seem to take special pleasure in re-
ferripg to the Capital City as
Sleepy Old Tallahassee.
The editors of the papers are GER
tainly not acquainted with modern
Tallahassee or her people, for we are
all very much alive, as was shown
yesterday when a bond election for
paving College avenue carried by the
significant vote of 40 to l. Could
ANYTHING be more unanimous. We
not only did this but are now put
ting down about $4,000 worth of
street paving which will connect all
the business streets of the city. And
Just two. years ago we expended al
most round 100000 to put our
principal business street in proper
condition.

NO STEPS YET TO REBUILD
BURNED ARSENAL

st Augustine, Dee. 31-Work on
the state arsenal ruins has been
very effective and the masses of de-
bris that clogged the rooms in the
building have been removed The
outer and interior walls being built
of coquina withstood the fire and are
still standing. The rooms on the
lower floor into which the burning
rafters and other woodwork dropped
were fairly checked with the char
red woodwork and ashes. This has
all teen cleaned out and only the
bare walls now remain.
AS yet no action has been taken
towards the restoration of the burn
ed building, as Governor Trammell
has been unable to visit ST. Angus
tine and inspect the buildings. How
ever, several architects have made
careful survey of the remnants of
the Turned building and are making
estimates as to the cost of restoring
it. They are working entirely, how
ever. on their own initiative, and
not in response to official proposals.
General Foster and the arsenal
staff are now settled in their new
quarters and they are overwhelmed
with work, resulting from the loss
of records.
