SOME MACON VETERANS
OBJECT TO BISHOP KELLEY
Don't Want Him to Make Me-
mortal AddreSS-He Is a
Confederate Veteran
Especial Dispatch to The Journa1.)

especial Dispatch TO Inc JOURNAL
MACON, Ga. Feb, zs.-51xty Confeder
ate veterans in Macon have signed a let
ter addressed to Mrs. Walter ]. Grace
president of the Daughters of the Con
federacy stating that unless the Daugh-
tiers recall their invitation to Bishop
Kelley, of Savannah, to deliver the Me-
mortal day address here ON April 26th
they will refuse to participate in the ex-
ercises but will invite a speaker of their
own Id hold separate exercises.
They urge that Mrs. Grace, as presi-
dent of the local organization, use her
influence to have the Memorial day ad-
dress delivered by one who Is in full &C
cord and sympathy with the American
constitution.
The letter concludes:
1T is our earnest desire to avoid
conflict between the Daughters of the
Confederacy and the old veterans and
we hope to be able to join with you in
Memorial services on this April 26, as
in the past and ask that.you give our let
ter careful consideration. If afterwards
you feel that Bishop Kelley is the man
to deliver the patriotic address on April
as and refuse to recall your invitation
then we will feel justified to select an
other speaker and commemorate our dead
apart from the daughters.
I'VE trust this will not be necessary;
that all will be harmony and peace for
perhaps it will be the last Memorial
day that most of US will attend"
The letter is sighed by w. ]. Parker.
]. F. Hodges, T. w. Rankin and James
7. Bishop. Attached to the petition
that the invitation be recalled are sixty
signatures of well known veterans.
Mrs. Walter j. Grace when seen this
morning regarding the letter stated that
she would refer the matter to the meet
ing of the Daughters Of the Confederacy

LAURENS COUNTY SOLVES
BOIL WEEVIL PROBLEM
Farmers Have Steady Sale for
Cattle, Hogs, Beans and
Other Products

Iaurens county, until four years ago
the largest cotton-growing county In
Georg1a- affords a striking illustration OF
how progressive farmers can meet the
ravages of the cotton boil weevil by
diversified agriculture.
Conditions in Laurens are interesting
" related in a letter just received by
state Commissioner of Commerce and
Labor III. NJ. Stanley from Harry Floyd,
managing editor of the Dublin Courier
Herald. In part Mr.. Floyd says:
s.Tvhe oat crop has been badly hurt in
T.aurens. and some of II killed outright.
october oats will probably come out
again. The freeze has not hurt the
wheat much, IL any, but about every
thing else. There is a more confident
feeling among the business men gem
erally because diversified crops are be-
ginning TO show up and bring in money
There have been something like zoo cars
of velvet beans shipped out OF the coun-
ty by farmers since the gathering began
last fall. At least that many more cars
were left in the warehouses of the two
mills here
s.Something like 125 cars of corn have
been sold at a good price, in the ear, be-
sides the meat that has been cured and
IS being sold more or less. 1t is prooa-
bic that more meat was saved In Lau-
rens county this year than ever before
IN her history. Both packing plants
here have had all they could handle
without being overrun, and they didn't
cure half Of what was killed.
"a great many hogs and cattle nave
been sold on the hoof by farmers In the
county since January 1. Something ike
thirtv-ive cars, eight OF them hogs,
have been sold recently. The hogs are
all OF them, nearly, meat hogs, ready to
be killed. left after the farmers have
killed their years supply, while there is
a good deal of the cattle which could be
left with pro1t; a good sprinkling OF
steers, the result Of a cross of Here
fords. Short Horns and Angus on native
cattle is TO be seen IN the lot
Captain Rice and z. =. Barnes, at
Rockledge, are in the beef cattle bust
ness. and they are selling a good many
steers that show UP pretty fair, espe-
cially for this county. All Of these
things which are bringing in more or
less money all the time help to make
the business situation a little more sure,
and the prospects Of IS cents next fall
for what cotton is grown is not bad at
all.
~ T Pope has already started a vel
vet bean mill running, turning out a
good grade OF meal for COW feed. The
Oconee Milling company, d. S. Brandon
and Alex Blackshear. are putting up a
$4,000 plant now for grinding velvet
beans, making mixed feeds of all kinds,
and operating a general milling bust
ness. They will have a very complete
plant and turn out a heavy tonnage
when running steadily"
