nation PROCEEDINGS.
No Agreement Reached
With Property Owners
up to Last Meeting.
FIREMEN ADOPT REGU
LATIONS FOR PUBLIC.
Ask Council for Hook and
Ladder Truck, Which
Was Granted.
Tlie quostion of tho location and
u90 0 t the outfall for the city Bew-
erft ge system had not been settled
up to the meeting of the council
Monday night as had been expect
ed and it may yet bo necessary to
institute condemnation proceed
ings. which the law provides for
in the absence of an agreement on
the question of damages, which
means an arbitration of tho mat
ter legally.
It is known that the parties
through whose lands the proposed
outfall will go and tho city au
thorities have made someellort to
get together on a compromise, but
the minutes of the council fail to
show any agreement and the city
otlicials may go into legal arbitra
tion or condemnatory proceedings.
It was hoped that the sewerage
system wou:d be in operation by
November 1st, but the delay is
unavoidable. Perhaps it may 1.0
thirty days befere the sewers can
be used by the general public.
The people are greatly interest
ed in the matter bnt there seems
to be no disposition on the part
of the public generally to be im
patient as they realize that such
matters necessarily require time.
Both the property owners and
the city have interests which de
serve thoughtful consideration
and it is tho wish of everybody
that all these interests be protect
ed and the matter wisely and
rightly settled.

CERTIFICATES MAY BE
ISSUED IN THIS CITY.
Farmers and Merchants
Are Discussing Pro
posed Issue.
Oklahoma Planters
Hold for 16 Cents.
In order to relieve the present
financial condition and afford
ample funds for carrying on the
business ami moving the cotton
crop, the bankers of Atlanta,
Macon and other points are issu
ing clearing house certificates to
be used as money and backed by
good security. The certificates
are believed to be as good as cur
rency.
Such a plan is being discussed
in Sandersville with tho idea of
enabling the farmers to hold their
cotton and may come up in the
farmers meeting Saturday.
However, the bankers here
claim to be able to handle tho
cotton business and to accommo
date the farmers and the plan
may not be adopted.

On November 9th the Farmers’
Union will have an important
meeting in Sandersville, and on
the same day the Unions will meet
throughout thocotton belt. While
other matters will come up, the
mam question'will lie the holding
of cotton for a better price.
In this connection and for the
benefit, of the members who did
uot pee it, we print a communica
tion from Mr. John I. Fullwood
of Cedartown, published in the
Sunday Constitution, which wo
reproduce in part by request:
Then what can the fnrmers,
merchants and bankers of the
south do to take care of the situa
tion?
“It seems to me that Atlanta’s
plan of issuing $2,000,000 of clear
ing house certificates, as a circu
lating medium, to tide over the
present crisis, suggests a safe and
feasible way out of our trouble,
“Atlanta, through her bailks,
issues these certificates. She guar
antees that one dollar and fifty
cents worth of gilt-edge securities
stand behind every dollar of cer
tificates issued, and that these
certificates will be redeemed* in
cash at face value by Mar. 1, 1908.
“Everybody agrees to accept
them at face value and $2,000,000
of circulating medium is poured
into the channels of trade.
• “Cotton, insured, in the ware
house is better collateral than
anybody’s ‘gilt-edge securities.’
When the banks in any southern
town reach their limit of loans on
cotton, why not call together the
farmers, warehousemen, merchants
and bankers, issue certificates on
cotton and all agree to accept
them gt par?
“Make these certificates redeem
able at face value, in cash, on or
before August or September, 1908.
Let tho farmer dep >sit Ins ware
house receipt with some designat
ed depository and receive in cotton
certificates what he mods up t<>
GO or oven 75 per cent of the mar
ket value of his cotton. Don’t
charge him any interest on these
certificates, just a small teo to
cover the cost of issuing them.
“Whenever a bale of such cot
ton is sold take out of the proceeds
enough to pay the certificates
issued against it.
“Any town which adopts tins
methods would have a local cur
rency just as good as Atlanta’s
clearing house money.
“By this plan the farmer with
out paying any interest, could put
into circulation three-fourths of
the value of his cotton and still
hold it in the warehouse for 15
cents per pound.
“In this way we could circum
vent the cotton gamblers *and
speculators, and bid them go spin
their winter clothes out of the
futures they have so long used as
a means to rob us of the price of
our labor. Jno. I. Fullwood.

How few people can decide the merits of a pair of
shoes by inspecting them.
Can you?
Not one in a hundred can do it.
That’s where the value of a good name comes in.
That s why, when buying shoes, so many women
rely upon the stamp “Queen Quality” for protection.
And does it protect?
For a decade the “ Queen Quality” sales have led
the world — yet the demand grows bigger every day.
That’s the answer.
