COTTON WAREHOUSE
FOR BAINBRIDGE
• Spcdnl to The Georgian.
Balnbridge, Ga., Aug. 29.—Farmers In
this county are actively engaged In
gathering the cotton crop. Several
bales have been marketed here and
have brought from 9 1-2 to 10 l-2c per
pound. The crop while short will be
larger than estimated a month ago.
The Balnbridge board of trade has
taken up the matter of a cotton market
for Balnbridge and the highest market
price will be paid at all times. Bain-
' bride In years past was the largest
cotton market In this section of the
jtfate, but in recent, .years the receipts
have been small, owing to the fact
that the prices paid here were lower
than In surrounding towns.
The Balnbridge Warehouse Company,
composed of several of the most prom
Inent business men of the town, has
Just completed a commodious ware
house building of fire-proof brick. Sev
oral buyers are already In the field and
the receipts this yeftr promise to be
much larger than heretofore.
WANT BUSINESS MAN
FOR COUNTY CHAIRMAN
Special to The Georgian.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 29.—J. B. Key,
who Is a member of the police commls
slon, and a prominent young merchant,
has announced himself a candidate for
chairman of the county executive com
mlttee, and will heartily support the
Australian ballot system If elected. The
consensus of opinion here seems to
be that a business man should have
4he place this time, as It has been
held for years by lawyers, and the peo
pie apparently desire a change.

How Much “Dead Wood”
Have You in Your
Advertising?
The"dead wood”—unprofitable mediums—in lists used by ad
vertisers who have transferred their accounts to Lord Sc Thomas
in the past year, has proved to be as high as 33per cent in the
light of the Lord Sc Thomas Record of Results.
T HIS 33 per cent of "dead wood"
was counter-acting: or offsetting:
profitable results from another
33 per cent of the list, leaving the cam
paign limping along on the remaining
34 per cent of publications.
Even so, in many cases, the advertising
had been considered successful.
But WE do not consider an advertising
campaign successful until it has
reached the greatest possible measure
of success.
We do not consider a Jist of advertis
ing mediums safe to use for our clients
until each publication has been
“MEASURED" by the actual results
tabulated in the Lord & Thomas
Record of Results.
This Record of Results is a compilation
of weekly confidential reports on returns
from all good newspapers and other
media sent us by those of our clients
who have a direct check on their
advertising.
complishing.we can foretell V7hat it WILL
accomplish on similar propositions.
So you see we have practically elimi
nated the element of chance in adver
tising, by making it unnecessary to
experiment (with consequent waste) la
questionable copy and mediums.
We ask an opportunity to explain to
you, personally, and in detail, what the
Largest Advertising Agency in America
—with all its experience—is ready to
do to earn advertising success for you,
rather than to win it on a speculation
with your money.

That is why we are advertising In this

GOOD NIGHT’8 SLEEP.
No Msdlcine so Btneflclal to Brain
and Nervas.
Lying awake nlghta makes It hard to
keep awake and do things In day time.
To take "tonics and .stimulants” under
■uch clrcumetancea Is like setting the
house on fire to see If you can put It
out
The right kind of food promotes
refreshing sleep at night and a wide
awake Individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years I had been a
great sufferer from Indigestion. After
trying several kinds of medicine, the
doctor would ask me to drop off pota
toes, then meat, and so on, but In a few
days that craving,, gnawing feeling
would start up, and I would vomit
everything 1 ate and drank.
When I started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
My mother was very much bothered
with diarrhea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts she Is well,
and says she don't think she could live
without IL
"It Is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper of
-Nuts as in the old days when I
could not realise what they meant by
bad stomach.’ There !m no medi
cine so beneficial to nerves and brain
as a good night’s sleep, such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts.”
