.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.

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,

As the movement for a state or
ganization originated with the Cedar

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

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.
