JM* The Augusta Chronicle aays re cently Judge, the pictorial publica tion, printed a magnificent cartoon, called “The Magnet," In which cata-. logued the "official bulletin of the American Farmer*,as follows: ,.“2,643,000,000 bushels of Indian corn grown In the year 1908—value of this crop, $1,615,000,000. This sum would pay ail the Interuit-bear- luy^ebt ef the United Slates; would dig the Panama Canal; would build flffy battleships. "The greatest hay crop In history gathered last year, 68,000,000 tons mown apfolT, TY 'p'ef 'cenT^aiiove the average ^f the preceding five years. Value of the crop, $621,000,000. "660,000,000 bushels of wheat harvested In 1908, worth $620,000,- OOOi The most valuable wheat crop hitherto produced. Value of the oat crop last year, $321,000,000. The yikld was 789,000,000 bushels. «The barley crop of 167,000,000 bushels—and with a value of $86,- 000,000—-has been exceded only once. * "The largest rice crop ever raised 27*000,000 bushels, value about $18,000,000. "The sugar-beet crop not only the largest in history, but nearly one- half as large again as the average of the five preceding years. "The value of the sugar-cane crop has only been equalled once. Sugar- beet aiul rugar-cane crops together are worth about $94,000,000. "Value of products from American cows close to $800,000,000. Aggre iate value of animals slaughtered ind animal product of the farm b nearly $3,000,000,000. "Agricultural products exported In 1 908 valued at $1,017,000,000. "No wonder the ships sailing for American ports are full.” Commenting on this publication, Mr. George Nees, of Augusta, wrote Judge as follows: “Augusta, Ga., Jan. 11, 1909. ' "Publishers Judge, New York City, N. Y,—Gentlemen: “I note In a recent oditton of your publication a cartoon called the Magnet,’ in which you catalog the products of the American farmer. In looking over the same 1 am rath- l&er surprised ’ that you should have ^omitted therefrom the most impor tant of all articles and that is the great Southern staple, cotton,. "As you doubtless know, the ex ports of cotton and its by-products, from the United Slates far exceed in value those of any other commod ity. The aggregate worth of same for the past year being more than five hundred millions of dollars: "I might also say that in the set- Uema^t of balance due by our coun try abroad our exports of cotton are indispensible, for we can rely upon the money from our exports of cot ton every year, while no other pro duct of the soil can be depended up on with the same certainty." The following tribute to cotton from the pen of that gifted Southern writer, the late lamented Henry W. Grady, is interesting: "What a royal plant it is! The wbrld waits in attendance on its growth. The shower that falls whispering on its leaves is heard around the earth. The sun that shines on it is tempered by the prayers of ait then people. The frost that chills it, and the dew that descends from the stars is noted, and the trespass of a lit tle worm on Its green leaf is more to England than the advance of the Russian army on her Asian outpost. It is gold from the in stant it puts forth its tiny shoot, its fiber is current in every bank, and when loosing its fleece to the sun it floats a sunny banner that glorifies the field of the humble farmer, that man is marshalled under a flag that will compel the adtegranre of the world, and wring a subsidy from every nation on earth. It is the heritage that God gave this people forever as their own when he arched our skies, established our mountains, girt us about with the ocean, loos ed the breezes, tempered the sun shine and measured the rain. Ours and our children's forever! As princely* a talent as ever came from His hand to mortal steward- shiff." “Inasmuch as your publication has quitp a large circulation in this section, 1 beg of you, in future, kind ly do not leave off of your Official bulletin of the Americaff farmer the chief product of this great South land—the section ’ of our common Country - that is developing In vaster strides than any other portion of it. (Signed) Yours truly, "GEORGE NEES." Judge, in reply, has written Mr. Nees as follow-s: "New York, Jan*-13th, 1 909. Mr. George Nees, 9 Library Builtiing, Augusta,' Ga. "My Dead Sir—I thank you for your courteous letter of the 11th and have called it to the attention of the cartoonist, who must plead guilty to your charge, without reservation. “Very truly your*.

Considerable time was consumed in discussing the follow ing report of the committee on ware nousing and marketing: "We recommend that warehouses be erected wherever possible and that our farmers, as. far as possible sell their cotton through their ware houses, as hy this plan higher prices can be realized. “We also recommend* that the warehouses of the entire South he federated into one system, under the absolute control of the Farmers Union, provided that the contract relating to ownership and dlspo sition of his cotton stored in said warehouse be acceptable to the storer.” The Union, after carefully eonsld ering the financial plan submitted it be adopted. The plan was then referred to the local Union of the State for ratification. The committee on fertilizers made the following report: “We have canvassed the situation and find that the general opinion is that we buy all of our, fertilizers through the regular channels of the Union and that we do our mixing at home and save from $3 to $6 per ton and that we advise our members to reduce their fertilizers in a reason able manner so as to be on safe and sure basis,” The report of the committee on the good of the order recommended: "That provision be made to press vigorously the educational work of the Union, directing especial atten tion to the importance of raising home supplies as a means of break ing down the credit and mortgage business of the State and enable us to control the sale of our cotton.

Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 18 —The po litical sensation of years was sprung here yesterday when four well known Baptist ministers of the dty were accused by another minister, equal ly as well known, of having dicker ed with the managers of.W. A. Ma gee, candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor of Pittsburg. The proposition, according to Rev. A. W. Fuller, pastor ol the Second Baptist church, was one made to himself and Revs. Slmo, Webb, Henderson and Scott, all in charge of churches last Wednesday, when they were called Into the office of William A. Roberts, a rich business man and friend of Magee. Mggee.

Dr. Fuller declares that when he left the room, each of the ministers save himself had handed over the Steele letter, which was part of the bargain, the closure of which was to ret each $100. The statement of Dr. Fuller as to the conversation in the room between them was substantiated by several persons who overheard It. The mat ter promises to develop into a rather unsavory scandal. Mr. Roberts declares that Dr. Full er Is angry with him, because he has refused to give him further advance ment on a mortgage which he holds against his house, while the otfier ministers accused declare that they did nothing wrong, that Dr. Fuller, more than anyone else, arranged the meeting in the office of Mr. Roberts.
