ATLANTA, July Although the

Senator L. c. Brown for thorough
probe Of the department of agrlcul-
ture, and against his bill for the
abolition of the bureau of markets,
the senator will continue his fight
for both measures. The fact that
the bills were referred to the com
mittee on agriculture indicates that
the senators arc not standing with
Senator Brown in the fight. The
senator, however, will push the mat
ter to the limit. He will bring out
some startling facts in the commit
tee and on the floor of the senate
and if the committee reports unfav-
orably on the bills he will move to
disagree to the reports of the com
mittee,
In his fight Senator Brown is be-
ing ably championed by Senator I
, Fl. Thomas of the Third district. Boti
senators are heart and soul for the
investigation and will do all in theil

Senator Brown is also one of the

will continue in that fight until some
measure to take the place Of thu
