ATLANTA TRIES To
StGRtGA7E RACES

ATLANTA, Ca, April 4.-Will AT
lanta succeed in separating negroes
Once Atlanta has tried and failed, the
state supreme court holding the ardin-
ance passed by council to be Illegal
Now Atlanta will try again, a new
ordinance having been introduced in
council today. Baltimore has tried
and succeeded. Atlanta will keep on
trying until she gets an ordinance
that the court will sustain.
One whole ward of the city, en-
bracing one of the best residence sec
tons, is literally being overrun with
negroes. Inscriptions real estate
agents have sold them property at
high prices. There has been friction
and several times violence has been
narrowly averted. The better negros
hav tried to stop the encroachment,
being wise enough to see the dangers,
but their efforts have failed. Street
after street has come under the black
shadow, white owners have sold at a
sacrifice and moved out, but still the
encroachment goes on.

AGRICULTURE FOR
SOUTHERN RAILWAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., April A.
Reports from the agents of the Agri-
cultural Division of Southern Railway
Companq for the calender year 1915
bear out the government statistics as
to agricultural progress in the South
and show the accomplishment of sub
stantial results in the work being car
ried on by the railroad
By personal visits to farmers and
by talks at farmers meetings the
agents of the Company gave advice as
to farm methods to approximately
10000 farmers. AS in former years
demonstration work was done on a
large number of farms all along the
Company's lines, the greater part of
it with cotton and corn. The reports
OF production on these farms with av-
erage yield of 1,17O pounds of cotton
per acre compared with averages
ranging from sol to TAI pounds on
similar lands in the same localities
where the improved methods advised
by the agents of the Company were not
adopted. Reports ON corn show an
average production of 46.7 bushels per
acre on farms where the methods ad-
vised were adopted as compared with
an average yield of less than % bush
els on similar lands in the same 10.
calities.
Advice was given as to the crops of
all kinds and especially to the growing
Of legumes and the planting of winter
cover crops. Seed selection was en-
couraged and many farmers were
assisted in breeding improved seeds.
The Importance of drainage was en-
phasiZed and assistance was given in
tiled drainage, ditching and terracing
With the rapid progress being made
in the eradication of the cattle tick
and the control of hog cholera in the
South, farmers in all the States are
turning their attention to more and
better live stock. The agricultural
agents report the location along the
lines of the Company during the year
of 2,743 pure-bred beef cattle, $3.50
dairy cattle and 6,O3S hogs. When
the agricultural ork of Southern Rail
way began silos were almost unknown
in many parts of the South. They
are now to be found in almost every
neighborhood and approximately 900
were built along the lines of the COM
pany during the year.
In all parts of the territory the
efficiency of work being done has
been due in large measure to the close
cooperation between the agents of
the railroad and those of the State and
Federal governments.

TIRES Of
HELPING DOPE F|tNDS

Atlanta has grown tired of helping
dope fiends, she has therefore shut
down on the stream of drug addicts
that have beseiged the city physicians.
1t has been almost an utter impossi-
bility for the city physicians to wait
on other cases so great has been the
demands upon their time by drug
users.
1t is expected that the federal au-
tborities will make some arrangements
for caring on the work among these
unfortunates.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATERs
GETTING READY FOR CONTEST

The debaters of the Americas High
school are busily engaged in prepar-
ing for the debates of Friday night
These contests are upon the subject:
Resolved, That the Judges of the
Slate Should be Appointed by the Gov
ernor and Confirmed by the Senate, ;
and the Importance of the subject adds
to the interest being displayed in the
coming event. The negative of the
question will be championed by Wilbur
Giddings and Gustavus Anderson, who
have long been regarded as being
among the best orators in the school
This team will debate the affirmative
of Fitzgerald in the latter city on Fri
day. evening, April 7th. While these
young men are in Fitzgerald, the af.
firmative of the Americas school, com.
posed of T. W. Stewart and Luther
Wallace, will debate here, with Ash
burn negative.
These debates are part of the High
school contests held in each district
every April, and they form quite fea-
ture in school activities. Last year
both Americas teams won unanimous
decisions, and it is believed that the
teams of 1916 will have equally as
nlcuh success.
The Americas representatives have
been at work many weeks and are now
fully prepared on the difficult subject.
They may be expected to give very
forcible arguments Friday evening.

HIGH SCHOOL MEET
CORDELE IN APRIL

Relative to the Third District High
school meet, which takes place at Cor
dele, April IA and 10, the Cordele de-
spatch says:
Plans are fast developing for the
entertainment of the Third District
High school meet in Cordele, Friday
and Saturday, April IA and Is, and all
indications point to the most success
full event of the kind ever held in the
district. The entries in the various
contests will be unusually large, and
the spirit of rivalry and enthusiasm is
strongly manifest already, while the
attendance of delegates and others
upon the meet will doubtless be
swelled because of Cordele's central
location and its accessibility by rail
road. The record of the Cordele High
school in capturing most of the hon
ors in the meet last year and the de-
termination to uphold this record is
squirting the local contestants to unus-
ual efforts.
The preliminaries in athletics of the
local school have already been held.
though no definite assignments have
been made as to the parts the several
contestants will take in the events.
The preliminary try-out in music and
elocution will be held at the school au-
ditorium next Friday night, beginning
at 8 O'Clock, and the public is invited.
Committees have been appointed to
receive and entertain the several hun
dred visitors on this occasion. The
committee on homes is actively at
work and is meeting with a warm re
Spouse on the part of citizens, whose
hearty cooperation expresses a deter.
mination of making Cordele truly
hospitable host for the meet. The
track for the athletics at the ball park
has been placed in excellent condition.
More than one hundred and fifty del,
egates and perhaps hundred teach
ers and other visitors are expected,
and they will be met at the trains
with automobiles and escorted to the
various homes where they will be en-,
tertained.
Following is the program to be car
ried out:
Friday, April IA.
900 A. M.-Spelling contest.
1000 A. M.-Essay contest.
800 P. M.-Athletic contests.
500 P. Amortization and music
contests.

THE CANDIDACY OF MISS MAY
TRUMPER

The republican candidate for the
office of superintendent of public in
struction of the state of Montana.
Miss May Trumper, merits the in
dorsement and support of the citizens
and teachers of the state. The cam
paign is triangular, the contest lying
between Miss Trumper on the repub-
lican ticket, Miss Teresa O'Donnell on
the democratic ticket, and c. W. Ten
ney, independent candidate.
We omit any consideration of the
candidacy of Mr.. Tenney. We be-
lieve that he has no chance of being
elected, as there was no place for him
in the field after the republicans put
up as good school-woman as Miss
Trumper. He is "lost cause" and
should be given no votes or support
which would go to Miss T1umper in
her contest with Miss O'Donnen.
On her school record alone Miss
Trumper warrants the support of
Montana citizens. She is a school
woman with long and distinguished
record both as teacher and admins
traitor. A college graduate, possess
ing the foundations upon which to
build broad scholarship, she has con-
tinued her work of school pre-
paration in the summer schools Of
Harvard and California To this she
has added a years work in the great
est teachers college of America, that
at Columbia University.
Her actual experience includes
work both as principal and as teach
er in the city high school at Bryan,
Ohio. For seventeen years she has
been teacher and administrator in
Montana schools, teaching with sue
cess both in the grades and in the
High School Of Kalispell. She has
also been for four successive terms
superintendent of the Flathead coun-
t. schools.
Miss Trumper's record is long and
distinguished; she deserves election
a, school woman on her school and
not her political record.

BRASS TACkS"

Why not get down to first prin-
ciples-to something more important
tran a fake eight hour law or child
labor law with a hole in it?
TIE greatest labor law that was ever
written upon any statute books is the
law Of protection of American labor
against the competition of foreign
labor on lower scale and working
for lower wages.
Who made that law?
Mr.. Hughes party
Who has maintained it against
strenuous and bitter opposition for
more than half a century?
Mr.. Hughes party.
Who has denounced it as robbery
ever since it was framed and has been
trying to get rid of it or to destroy
it's efficiency?
Mr.. Wilson's party.
Who is looking ahead now to the
new and untried and threatening con-
lltlons to be expected after the war
and proposing to apply this principle
of protection to the further safeguard
ing of American industry?
Mr.. Hughes party.
Whoe long record of bitter hostil-
ity to the principle of protection dis
qualities it to employ intelligently or
sympathetically for labor's benefit a
principle which it declared in the plat
form on which Mr.. Wilson was elect
ed was unconstitutional and ought to
be abandoned?
The record of Mr.. Wilson's party.
The American workingman who
votes for Mr.. Wilson in preference
to Mr.. Hughes has no right to expect
to have his job safeguarded by the
Republican principle of protection.
