WOMANS CLUB NOTES.
The meeting on the 17th at the
hospitable home of Mrs. Clifford
Smith was one of unusual interest. In
Mrs. Bradfield's report from the
Musical Section, notice was given of
the Oratorio which will be a rare
treat at the Baptist church on the
evening of October 22. Although the
weather was extremely inclement the
sum of $30.80 was realized from the
I^aGranpe Dry Goods Company’s
generous donation, and from Dozier’s
Pharmacy $6.25, Milam's Ice Cream
Parlor will kindly donate to the club
10 per cent of their cash sales on
Monday 19th. A creditable exhibit
is earnestly solicited for the Cotton
Exposition at Albany. All articles,
loaned will be taken care of and re
turned. Names of najv members
received:
Mrs. T. L. Powell, Mrs. Deal, Mrs.
Earn, Mrs. Glass, Mrs. Gaffney, Miss
Eunice McGee, Miss Ruth Slack, Miss
Kilgo. „ . . ,
Dr. Brewster on request, furnishes
the following paper which explains J
itself:
A plan was presented to the Wom-|
an’s Club on Saturday for raising,
money to be used by the Benevolent
Association for the philanthropic
purposes of the town. A committee
was anpointed to carry the plan into
execution.
Mrs. Enoch Callawny. chairman,
Mrs. H. H. Childs, Dr. Mary J.
Brewster.
The Woman's Club will use their
organization for putting the plan into
execution and the Benevolent Associa
tion under the able management of
Mr. E. B. Clark will furnish the prop
er business and financial responsibil
ity of handling and disbursing the
funds.
In this way the same case of need
will not draw from two or three
sources and at times receive an un
due share of help. Nor will other
rases, be neglected because they do
not belong to one of the churches or
associations.
In brief, the plan is to divide and
subscribe the town until the smallest
sections have no more than ten fami
lies. Some one in that group of
families will collect the money and
turn it over to the captain and so on
up to the head of the work.
A definite time for the collection
will be appointed and will advertise
through the papers. Reports of the
results from the various sections will
also be made in the papers.
Every part of the town is to be
represented, including mill villages
and negro settlements., and every
person is to be solicited from the
baby who gets a penny for candy to
the man with $1.00 to spare.
No one is to be asked to give by
more than one collector r(or more
than once in the year.
If funds are left over at the end
of the year after providing for the
legitimate demands on the Bene
volent Association these funds will be
used to help some purpose that will
benefit the whole town. Such as a
public library, auditorium, park,
play ground or town improvements.
iif put into thorough execution this
will transform the benevolent work
from the old fashioned, boy and pny
after hand to month method to the
modem business like cash in hand me
thod wh'ch lets every dollar give the
best returns.

CONCERT WAS
GREATSUCCESS
LaGrange People Delighted With
Oppenhcim-Lindner-Bcyer Trio.
The concert given by the Oppen-
heim Concert Company at the court
house last Friday evening was one
of the best that has been given in
LaGrange in a long time. The artist-
entertainers were inspired to their
best efforts by an audience which was
not only gratifying in point of num
ber but which accorded rapt attention
during the rendition of each number
and generous applause at its close.
Miss Oppenheim and Mr. Lindner
were repeatedly brought back by
enthusiastic encores, and graciously
responded with selections which pleas
ed in every instance.
Miss Ruth Oppenheim, the soprano,
was in splendid voice. She was at
home, among friends, and ishe gave
to them a golden feast of melody. She
proved equally at home in the dif
ficult but beautiful classical selections
and the sweet old simple songs which
will never die, like “The Last Rose
of Summer” and “Coming Thro’ the
Rye.”
Mr. Lindner, the violinist, charmed
and delighted the audience by his
wonderful mastery of the most dif-
ficult of musical instruments. It was
his first appearance before a La
Grange audience, and, while expecta-
tions ran high, he more than justified
the most enthusiastic predictions. His
playing was perfect in technique; but
best of all it was exceedingly pleas
ing even to the untrained ear. Mr.
Lindner is an artist of the first rank
and a gentleman whom it is a pleas
ure to meet personally. He has
traveled in concert tours through
most of the countries of the Old
World, and in conversation reflects
those qualities which mark the true
gentleman nnd cosmopolite—know
ledge without arrogance, culture and
refinement inbred and instinctive. Mr.
Lindner is the head of the Atlanta
Conservatory of Music, which is
rapidly winning recognition as one of
the best institutions of musical educa
tion, not only in the South, but in
the United States. He is also Direc
tor of the Musical Department of the
Cox College at College Park and the
Washington Seminary of Atlanta.
Miss Ethel Beyer, the accompanist,
contributed an important part to a
perfect program. She is a pianiste
of marked talent and her sympathe
tic interpretation of each number re
ceived warm praise.
The Company will present its next
entertainment in Birmingham, follow
ing which they will appear in Montgo
mery and other important cities in
the Southern States, closing their
tour around the first of January, when
Miss Oppenheim will leave for New
York to take up special studies pre
paratory to entering Grand Opera.

GOOD PROFITS IN
RAISING BEANS
The attention of tho farmers is
called to the following letter written
to the Chamber of Commerce by Mr.
J. W. Garner of Los Angeles, Califor
nia, in which he tells of the good
profits to be made in raising bunch
limn beans and pink beans. As a
native of Georgia, Mr. Garner is in
position to know the conditions in
this state, nnd his letter should be
carefully read and considered. In
the present emergency when there is
such urgent necessity for diversifica
tion, the crop suggested might prove
one means for working out the finan
cial independence of this section.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 10, 1914.
Chamber of Commerco,
Gentlemen:
Having been raised on a farm in
Middle Georgia nnd lived there for
twenty-eight years, l feel a very
deep interest in the farmers of the
South, and am very sorry to note the
very trying conditions tho cotton
planters are meeting with at the
present time.
Am glad to see Col. John D. Walk
er o.f Sparta, Ga., doing so much
to assist the farmers of that state.
Let every banker of the south join
him nnd much will bo accomplished
to help the farmer to secure good re
turns for bis products throughout the
whole cotton belt.
I have been a traveling salesman
in Southern California for tho past
seven years, nnd I find tho farmers
who have the hank account are tho
bean raisers. One of the hardest
problems the south has to solve is
the food problem. If I could offer
one suggestion that would help to
solve this problem, I would feel that
I was doubly paid for my efforts.
The farmers here pny from $500 to
$700 per acre for land nnd plant it
to bunch lima beans and pink beans,
which yield from two to four thous
and pounds per acre, and sell nt an
average of 6 cents per pound, showing
an income of $160 per acre.
I would be glad to see every farmer
FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 23, 19D
~— ’' ' V-l-'J-"-l 1 m_j
throughout, the south plant two acres
to hunch lima beans, one acre to pink
beans, one acre to sweet potatoes, and
one acre to peas, and build small
ennneries in every town to care for
their perishnble food products, such
as vegetables and fruits.
For everyone who will try this plan
next year, I will buy their seed beans
at the market price, with an addition
al 25C per hundred to cover handling.
Any information I can obtain in
regard to culture, harvesting, or
marketing of the beans I will furnish
free of charge.
Yours- very truly,
I. W- GARNER.

Angeles, Cal.
CAN HOLD COTTON
Mr. J. T. Strozier of Odessadale
paid The Reporter a pleasant visit
last Saturday. While talking about
the present cotton situation, he stat
ed that ho regretted to say that a ma
jority of the farmers in his section
had followed the all-cotton crop plan
and as a result were now facing
hard times.
Mr. Strozier himself brought thirty-
two bales of cotton to town and when
fnced by the price of 6 3-4 cents de
liberately placed it in storage. His
good judgment has placed him in such
a position that he can afford to hold
this large amount of cotton as well
ns some more which he has alt home.
This progressive farmer has raised
enough foodstuffs to supply himself
for the rest of the season and so far
has had to buy only a small amount
of such products as sugar, coffee, etc.,
which he could not raise at home.
Mr. Strozier has sot a pace for
his fellow-farmers, let them follow
his plan nnd make their plantations
independent little kingdoms.
It coimes as good news that nearly
all of the farmers throughout Troup
county are planting to make a large
cut in their cotton acreage.

DIAMONDS.
Diamonds are a good investment
at any time, for they are constantly
increasing in value. In fact, they
are now increasing in value at the
rate of 10 per cent, or more per an
num. The European war has
stopped all importations, and the
dealers are looking for big advances.
^ * Just now we have a nice assortment bought be
fore the last advance, and are prepared to make
satisfactory terms to responsible parties.
We agree at any time to take back any stone
