Even This Merited Rebuke Does Not Stem Tide of Self-Praise Which Comes Natural to the
 Cracker Citizens
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Macon, Ga, October 27.-(Special.) By yielding to natural propensity to exalt themselves above their neighbors, boastful Georgians successfully argued before the federal farm loan board to- day that the farmers of this state are so prosperous that they can scarcely be benefited by the benefcent agencies of the government.
 It was a typical Georgia hot air meeting It was staged in an atmos- phere of pretense. Nothing more con clusively proved that point than when Governor Harris and Senator Smith en- tered the chamber at the psychological moment-at a moment when the meet ing had had just been called to order and arrangements were under way to submit the plea of Macon.
 Governor Harris made a speech in which he emphasized the greatness of Georgia and the chivalry of the people of this commonwealth. Senator Smith followed with still more extravagrant praise. And then occurred the most un- usual incident of the boards southern tour.

STEAMERS ARE REBUKED

Commissioner Smith, matter of fact" individual quaintly observed: The people of 36 states have success sively told us of the incomparable worth of their commonwealth. Inas- much as it is our function to gather the weak points as we'll as the strong. let us have no more hot air"
 There was q moments awkward pause, and then the entire audience, convulsed with laughter vigorously ap- plauded. The governor and senator in entire good humor accepted the re- buke.
 It was soon obvious. however. that the suggestion of Commissioner Smith had failed to strike home, for Judge William II. Felton, who conducted ir "courtroom-lawyer fashion" the pre- Isentatien of Macons case, repeatedly strove to wiring out of witnesses testi- mony entirely favorable to the people and their environ. He declared that the citizens of Georgia would not lair their sores for charity" and instead of dl- recting the attention of the board to the agriculturists' endorsements, he spoke of their unusual prosperity. For instance, he observed that on account of automobiles driven to the state fair by the farmers of the section, citizens of the city were unable to find space in which to park their cars.

Toole, president of the Agricultural college, after hay ing talked exhaustively on other sub jects, was asked if he thought the white farmers would cooperate with the colored farmers in the organiza- tion of borrowing associations.
 He answered in the negative.

This prompted pr. Toole to observe that the problem was one regarding which there would necessarily be many diverse opinions.
