At the state meeting of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy in Waycross
last week Mrs. Frank Harrell, of A-
mericus, and Mrs. W. S. Coleman, of
Atlanta, were respectively re-elected
as President and Vice President of
the Georgia organization
“Give Me a Chance
To Think!”
All right.
That chance will be during the week of No
vember 7th to 12th.
During that week take a little time and go
over in your mind the many things your home
town paper has done—is doing—will continue
to do—for your home town.
Think about it seriously.
Think whether or not you have stood loyally
by at all times when the community’s champion
has needed financial and moral support.
Think whether or not you have always done
your duty by the town’s best friend.
Think how much better your home town
paper could do if each citizen were as loyal to
it as it is to them.
Think or some one far away who would en
joy the weekly visit from the old home town
paper, then hand in a subscription for that far
away friend.
If you are not now a subscriber, be one.

WATSON ATTACKS
Administration of For
mer Political Partner.
Tho expected has happened, though
somewhat sooner than anticipated,nnd
Tom Wnt;nn Ims declared war on his
erstw](ilo political partner, Tom
Hardwick.
The truth is that neither of them
at heart has had any love for the oth
er since they went over the state “say
ing things" about one another n few
years ago, and their alliance in the
the last campaign was n purely poli
tical arrangement of which Hardwick
was the beneficiary.
In the last issue of his Columbia
Sentinel, Sonatov Watson has an ed
itorial, "What’s the matter with Geor
gia?" in which he says in part;—
“Last year, our people were literal
ly STUFFED on campaign promises.
“The legislature met: there was the
most prompous inauguration <Tf a new
governor, and the freshly chosen ad
ministration settled down to—settling
down.
“What campaign pledge wa’. kept?
NOT ONE!
"We are told that the state linsn’t
the money to pay for froe text-books;
but you muat have noticed that such
mere official deadbeats as I.ueian
Knight continues to hold the office of
keeper of archives, at an expense to
you of about $8,000 a year, while ha
him.elf taut. Europe—there being no
urchivog which could not be kept by
Mr*. Cobb, tho state librarian.
"You also notice that Hoke Smith’s
law firm has been employed to con
vince tho supreme court that your
state railrodd should bo, by plcce-
moal, dclivoifod to tho Louisville nnd
Nashville robbers and MURDERERS.
"What Is the use of having an at
torney-general for the state if he is
to be sidetracked for Hoke Smith?
"What’s the use of having so able
a lawyer as Judge Hines in your pay
if he must he shunted out of tho way
of a big feo for the repudiated Smith?
“A now broom was prominent at
tho Macon convention, where those
pledges were repeated, a scant twelve
months ago. |
"What has been done with that new
broom?
“At pvesont, I make no complaint
of tho fact that every important ap
pointment has been given to enemies
of mine.
"If my friends arc not competent
to hold these offices, they should not
he recognized.
“Last year my friends seemed to
! be worthy of trust.
I "A sudden blight seems to have
; stricken them.
"They have been frost-bitten, anil
i they have willed.
I “That’s all right; we can look to
’ that later.
; I am forced to any that tho cov-
ort influeneos which paralyzed the
legislature, this year, could not have
been anticipated by any honest voter
who listened to the promises made a
year ago."
Woman’s Club.
The Cedartown Woman’s Club ami
all other frionds are invited to a sil
ver tea at tho Benedict Womnn’s
Club House at 3 p. m. Saturday. A
pleasing program will be presented
nnd light refreshments served. An
offering will be accepted toward the
completion of the club house. A
large attendance is urged.
Karl’s Fiasco.
Ex-Emperor Karl and his ambitious
wife, Zita, have again let their wishes
outweigh good judgment. Leaving
their refuge in Switzerland in an air
plane, they flew over to their former
domain of Hungary, where they found
the old military element ready to wel
come them. He assembled a small
army, proclaimed himself king, and
marched to the capital. As soon ns
the people got the news, however,they
rose up against him, and Karl and
Zita were captured and put in prison.
It wll be a difficult matter for them
to find another refuge in Europe
when they are released, for they have
mode Switzerland enough trouble al
ready.
It is indeed hard for some of tV e
erstwhile monarchs to learn any com
mon sense.

As an indication of brightening
prospects we are glad to note the fact
that iron mining is now being resum
ed here.
Mr. II. D. Davis is opening opera
tions hy hand mining, nnd will em
ploy quite n number of men, and this
is the best of good nows in these dnys
of general unemployment. The ore
will bo shipped to the Rock Run fur
nace.
The iron industry was hit by the
slump ulong with nearly everything
else. The steel mills of the North
hnve recntly started again on n limit
ed scale, nnd it is gratifying to note
that the movement is spreading to the
Southern Iron industry.
FREE PICTURES
Of Great Interest to Ev
ery Farmer.
Here is something thnt will inter
st every farmer, nnd every farmer—
young and old—who can possibly do
o should be here Monday night.
There will be free pictures shown
at the City Hall, in which the slides
and films give a visible lesson on the
proper preparation of the soil for all
crops. The lecture that accompanies
the pictures is clear and plain.
The lecture will bo illustrated by
steropticon slides and moving pic
ture films. . Thoso will show spec
ially prepared teHt tubes, filled with
different grades of soils, clearly illus
trating the difference in a correctly
prepared seed bed and one which is
incorrectly prepared. In the moving
picture films you actually see the com
sprout, take root, nnd grow from the
time the seed is planted under the
noil In both types of seed beds. You
can see the moisture rise and reach
the seed more quickly in the correct
ly prepared seed bed, and as soon as
the moisturo reaches tho seed things
begin to happen. The seed planted
in the correctly prepared seed bed
germinates and growth starts eight
days in advance of the seed planted in
the incorrectly prepared seed bed.
You see the roots begin to sprout
downward, followed later by the top
sprout pushing upward nnd through
the soil.
Don’t misH this—Monday night, at
the City Hall.
The U. I). C. will meet with the
president, Mrs. Floy Turner, ut her
homo next Wednesday at 3 p. m. Mrs.
Turner will ho assisted by Mrs. II. W.
Brunch of Rome, and Mesdames Paul
and W. J. Montgomery. All members
having cars arc asked to take others
out with them.
Rail Board Working to
Adjust Differences.
To strike or not to strike? That is
the question thnt will soon be definite
ly determined.
The United States Rail Board has
so wisely managed the negotiations
that cither side that refuses to make
concessions and act with reason is
going to he ’.’Jh a hole" as far as pub
lic sentiment is concerned.
The Rail Board asks the roads not
to insist on further wage reductions
at pro ent, nnd asks the men not to
try to "cross the bridge before they
come to it" as fqr as such reductions
are concerned. The Board announces
that it Is carefully investigating the
matter of working conditions, nnd
will not he sidetracked from this by
the consierntion of wage questions.
This would seem to furnish a basis
for present settlement, but at the time
of going to press there has been no
withdrawal of the general strike order
for next Sunday.
The Standard believes there is too
much good sonso on both sides to per
mit tho terrible catastrophe of a
general strike to occur. "The public
be damned” policy Is not going to be
n good one for eithor side to pursue.
