information on how to finance the
crops and supply the farmers needs
while the crops are being made. For
this reason almost no entertainment
of the ordinary kind is desired. Talks
only of explanatory or educational
nature will be made, even at the
banquet, which will be without the
customary long speeches. Governor
Brough will be the only spokesman
for the visitors. Governor Dorsey, of
Georgia, has been invited to be pres
ent, and in case he accepts, he proba-
bly, will speak for Georgia.
Because of the high honor paid
Sumter county by this party picking
this as one of the only two counties
in Georgia to be visited-the other
ston being at the state agricultural
college at Athens-every effort is to
be made to make the reception as
near as possible what the visitors
wish and every effort will be bent
along that line, at the same time i'm
pressing them with the fact that they
made no mistake in picking Sumter
as the chief county, agrieulturally, in
Georgia.
The general committee will meet
