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. “ Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week,” November 7-12 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. Buy your comforts and Blankets now or pay morp later. STUBBS&JTOGG. Buy it in Cedartown.

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.
