very seriously here. 1t was almost in
evilable that a rumOr Of his retirement
from the cabinet should come after his
two conflicting statements about the
peace note, but Secretary Lansing and
the Presidents seem to understand each
other. The secretary s health has not
been altogether robust and, of course,
there are many worries. which become
very weurisome, in such an Office at
such time. But it has become well
established here that the President
wants all his cabinet family to continue
with him and, certainly for the present,
indications are that they will.
Successors To Lane EH
In ease Secretary Lansing should re-
tire as he may do before the new adj
ministration is over, the President
would pot be embarrassed in seeking
men for the first cabinet place. Colonel
House, lOf New York and Texas, al
though of no particular experience in
office holding has herumc so promin.

IN important undertakings that he
would be accepted by the public as a
man of sufficient ability for the place.
There is also Senator Williams, of Mis-.
sissippi, whom the President visited in.
formally the other morning. Williams
in certain matters, comes nearer being
the President g spokesman before the
senate than any other Democrat. The
Mississippi senator is member of the
Foreign Relations Committee and q
man of great learning. His speeches
in the senate. at times, have been
very influential and calming, Williams
is the old type of Southern statesmen
a little nodernized. An objection tC
bringing him into the cabinet would bt
that several Southern mon are in it al
ready.
As far as outside makers Of cabinet,
arc concerned, Secretary of the Inter

birds, being tree nesting, will be able
to increase more rapidly than are the
various ground nesting birds heroto

cousin, but is said to be much swifter
on the wing and hence a more satisfac-

The supervisors have also written to

MANY CANDIDATES FOR
TARIFF COMMISSION

Washington, Sept. 23.-Congress-
men and politicians from every part
of the country are closely watching
to see who is to go on the Tariff Com
mission, to succeed Daniel C. Roper,
resigned, to go to the Office Of com
missioner Of internal revenue.
1t is safe to assume that every
state in the South has its eye on this
place and that not less than half a
dozen candidates from each of them
has already appeared on the scene of
action waiting for the political light
ming to strike.
This is one of the real big, juicy
political plums which the admins
tration is able to shake from the fruit
tree to the faithful. It is a ten-year
place, to which the successor to Mr..
Roper will go with salary Of $500
in addition. Being for a long period
and free from the annoyance of hav-
ing to be reappointed or reelected
every few years, it is natural that
there is wild scramble for the place.
There was considerable surprise
here when it became known that MIR.
Roper had resigned his position to
go to the Treasury Department until
it became known that he could be of
more value to the administration in
the latter place, although his salary
will be $1,000 year less than he re-
ceived as tariff commissioner.
Mr. Roper is the kind fman who
will serve best where he feels that he
can be Of most benefit to the admin
istration, and therefore, is in demand
as just the kind of official the admin
istration wants.
1t is not yet known what DISPOSE
ton the President will make Of the
Roper vacancy, but before an appoint
ment is made there is certain to be
a strong and vigorous demand from
many parts Of the country for recog-
milton. "Favorite sons" are looming
up by the dozen, but only one can be.

GERMANY ANXIOUS
TO TALK PEACE
WILLING TO ENTER NEGOTA-
TlONS IN PAPAL MEDlTiON
PROGRAM.

Berlin, Sept. est is generally
pointed out by the British press that
Germans reply to the papal peace
proposals impresses by virtue of its
dignified tone and spirit in contradic-
ton to President Wilson's reply to
the Pope and also on account g. the
absence of all villifcation of Ger
many's enemies.
The liberal press is especially jub-
liant because the government unre-
servedly has brought itself into har-
mony with the Reichstag peace reso-
lutions. Pan-German and ultra-con
sentative newspapers, with on eXcep-
ton, are Unexpectedly moderate in
their comment. The Zeitung Am Mit-
tag says:
at must be admitted that the Ger
man reply heaps fiery Goals on the
heads of our enemies. After Fresi-
dent Wilson's nastiness and the pre-
sumption of the French Foreign Min
lister, Mr.. Ribot, and his followers, we
have here a document which, marked
J by dignity and reserve, is alone die
tated by an appreciation of the broth
erhood of men.
eve declare ourselves ready to en-
ter into negotiations on the basis
of the papal meditation program. We
say so quite frankly. We approve the
ideas of right before might of free
dom of the seas, of the association Of
society of nations, of disarmament
to feasible extern tand of an arbi-
tration court. We are seeking peace
"a permanent peace-along these
lines.
"Once upon a time, months ago. this
also was President Wilson'S program.
He for the present, has abandoned it
because, he says, transformation of
German sentiment and viewpoints
must first set in. This argument now
also has collapsed"
The Morgan Post and the Berliner
Allgemaine Zeitung join the Germart
ia in pointing out that the German
government has unreservedly placed
itself on record as approving the
Reichstag's peace resolution, and that
there is no doubt possible that it is
actuated by the same desire as the
great majority of the German people.

USE FOR PEANUT HULLs.

Utilization is now being made Of
the peanut hull, says a writer in the
Country Gentleman. In Johnson coun-
ty, Texas, a contract was closed re-
Gently for a hundred carloads Of pea
nut hulls to- be used in a mixed feed
for live stock. This utilization of the
entire peanut plant will no doubt
prove a factor in feed prices next
season.
The general opinion of field men in
that section is that the forthcoming
peanut crop will be more profitable to
the producer than in the past season.

NEW WOOL COTTON NOT
MOLESTED BY BOIL WEEVILs

Waycross Ga, Sept. 22.-The first
wool cotton" ever seen in Waycross
was shown here by Roam Meeks, of
Nichols. This cotton was grown by
Dave Anderson on lis farm. near
Nichols and has attracted q great deal
of attentiin. The seed was obtained
byMr.Andsrson at tie Macon fair last
year. -
The cotton grows in form there to
four locks to the boil and ,these locks
measure about five or six inches in
length. Expert cotton growers claim
that one man can pick from zoo Ito
1000 pounds per day of this variety. :.
The plant is very similar in appear.
ance to the long staple and grows to
be from five to six feet high the fibre

Current newspaper articles an
nounce shipments, already begin, of
nearly 5000 head of Shorthorns and
other varieties of high grade cattle
for breeding purposes, fom Texas to
various points in Georgia.
The department calls attention to
the fact that tick-free cattle are be-
ing shipped only to- Georgia coun-
ties which have been freed of the
tick.
Tick infested counties cannot af-
ford to get these splendid cattle for
breeding purposes, and can only buy
from tick-infested territory. They
must get some fair stock, but can
not hope to get the same splendid
quality of breeding cattle that comes
from the tick-free sections of Texas
and other states.
Every Georgia county wants the
best, and to get it there is only one
thing to do-GET RID OF THE CAT
TIE TICK AT ONCE.

of the cotton, however, is short, and
looks very much like wool, hence it's
name.
1t is claimed for this variety of cot
ton that it is practically immune from
the boil weevil, and in support of
this it is claimed that not any trace
of the boil weevil has been found in
the small field of this variety grown
by Mr.. Anderson, while n the nearby
fields of the regular variety the wee

Georgia has grown thousands of
tons of velvet beans this year, and
singularly enough, owing to short-
age in other portion supplying cat
tie foods, there is extraordinary need
and demand for them.
To get in touch with the right mar
kets, the Georgia State Market Blu
reau has written over 200 leading
manufacturers of cattle and stock
feeds in the United States and Cana
da. Already about IS replies have
been received, asking for samples for
analysis, and in some instances car
load lots have been asked for.
Cessation Of whiskey manufacture
has cut off a very large proportion
of the cattle feed supply, for which
grain mash was used after distilla-
ton. Velvet and soy beans must take
the place of this material
The state market bureau is not only
engaged in locating markets for this
curing proper and reasonable freight

lfacturer who wants 10000 tons-but
it is also working on the matter of Sc
curing proper and reasonable greight
rates.
The market bureau invites all Geor-
gia farmers who have velvet beans,
peanuts and similar products for sale
to list them, and promises to push the
matter of finding the best possible
market, just as soon as it can be done.

make much more than 100000 bales
