the Farmers’ Union called to discuss c avalry,
ths fertilizer situation.
The result
of the meeting was a recommendation
that tho farmers buy no fertilizer
for 1912 except on this condition
before either the House or Senate.
Senator Tillman suggested that he
wanted a fishery for this State and
l wanted $25,000. The other mem-
j bers of the committee concurred and
without any legislative Act the $25,-
i 000 was simply Incorporated In the
general appropriation bill, and this
l is the way things ar ( e oft^n done and
why a chairmanship is of so much
importance. Long service, too,
makes such things easy to do.
Of course, Senator Tillman with
his quickness has not needed the
eighteen years that he has been In

of usefulness may amount to if he
