THURSDAY OCTOBER 17, 1907 (foot) KOIl JI IX.K IltWIN. .Judge F. A. Irwin Is making it de cidedly uncomfortable for all forms of law-violations, hut the ‘‘tiger," the pistol toter and the “becrlne" Joint are especially remembered by the Judge. The last Grand Jury made an un usual record In the finding of true bills, 93 having been returned to the court, 54 of which were transferred to the City Court. The last ten days have seemed like a continued session of court, about thirty parlies against whom indictments were found having plead gqllty before Judge Irwin. Every placp where “beerlne" was sold came under the Grand Jury ban, and Judge Irwin has assessed the guil ty parties "$100 and costs.” The sale of intoxicants everywhere is receiving special attention by the courts, and the wave of prohibition that to over-sweeping the country is piling up such a strong public senti ment against the traffic In any form that Its dnys are veritably numbered and its punishment sure and drastic. Thtf ladies of Cedartown. under the leadership of the W. C. T. U., have prepared a petition to the city council to rofuse outright, or place a high license on "lockers” or ‘‘clubs" in side the city limits as to practically prohibit their establishment here. It Is believed that the council will act favorably on this petition,and that the “locker” system will find It decidedly uncomfortable In these quarters when the state prohibition law goes Into effect Jan. 1st. A GREAT CONVENTION. BIG MASH MEETING To be Held Next Monday, Oct. 21st, at the Court House.

The Georgia Firemen’s Association convenes Monday, Oct. 21st, at 11 a. m. In the convention room of the Piedmont Hotel In Atlanta, and per manent officers will be chosen for j the state organization. Monday to "Firemen's Day” at the State Fair, and both paid and volunteer firemen from every Bection of Goorgla will be present. The officers of the Cedartown Fire Department met yesterday and elected Chief M. D. Russell, ex-Chlef J. II.. Phil pot and No. 1 President E. S. Ault to represent this department at the State Association meeting. A num ber of our other firemen will go down, Col. C. C. Bunn being President of the State Association. As the movement for a state or ganization originated with the Cedar town firemen and as one of their number was chosen its first presid ing officer, it is eminently appropriate that he should be elected as Its per manent President. He is well quali fied for the place, and Is a loyal and efficient flrmeen. He Is deserving of the honor, and should be unanimously chosen next Monday. We are living In a Progressive Age. The Tillers of tho Soil are more advanced in their ideas of farming, better posted in regard to their markets, better equip ped lor the battle of life than ever before.

A great International cotton conven tion was In progress last week In At lanta—not especially great In point of numbers, though It was well attend ed, hut really great In the Importance of tho subject discussed. Representatives were present from European countries, from the Ameri can mills, from the cotton exchanges, from the Farmers’ Union, and from the Southern Cotton Association. With the exception of the exchange mem- bora the convention was heartily a- galnst speculation in cotton, which to as disastrous to the mills as to the farmers. The Egyptian form of cotton hale is recommended. Better covering than, jute bagging Is desired for cotton hales. The other changes Include hal ing at the cotton gin. marking on each end of the bale weight and grade; alao more equitable tare and uniform ity In balea la desired. Tht* sending of representatives to Europe to sell direct to tho spinner the contents of Southern cotton warehouses is a movement that Is taking definite shape. As stated above, rtablUty of price to favored by the representatives of every branch of the cotton industry exeopt the delegates from the cotton exchanges. It 1s proposed to reduce the business of marketing cotton to ft science, and by cementing closer relations between grower and spin ner to make fluctuations In price sub ject alone to the laws of supply and demand.
