Devoted to the Best Interests of Cedartown and Polk County.
Cedartown, Geofgia, Thursday, -March 6th, 1922.
Number 11
SENATE PASSES
Naval Limitation and,
the Far Eastern
Treaties.
The naval limitations treaty, the
treaty rcstrictinff the use of poison
(fas and submarines, and the nine-
powar Far Eastern treaties were rat
ified overwhelmingly by the Senate
last week.
Senator France, Republican, of
Maryland, who has said that he re
garded naval reduction as a danger
ous experiment under present world
conditions, cast the only opposing
vote to the naval holiday treaty.
Senator Wadsworth, Republican of
New York, assailed the poison gas
article of the submarine provision to
the treaty in a speech, but left the
Chamber before the vote was taken.
The treaties will be promptly rati
fied by Great Britain, France and Ja
pan, who have been waiting to sec
what our Senate would do with them.
Edwards Will Not Run.
Buchanan, Ga., April 3d, 1922.
Mr. Editor:—I have received so
many inquiries as to my probable
candidacy for Judge of the Talla
poosa Circuit that I have reached the
conclusion that a public statement
from me would not be out of order.
I have been so impressed w-ith the
sincerity of these inquiries and so
licitations to enter the race that I
have given the subject serious con
sideration.
I realize that if Tsqhould not make
the race it will be best not to longer
leave the question o^ipn; and I take
this method of saying to those who
have been kind enough to ask me to
run that I have,after mature delibera
tion, reached the conclusion that I
should not enter the co.ntest. My
reasons are largely personal, and it is
unnecessary to state them.
In this connection I wish to express
to those who have heretofore given
me their loyal support and to those
who now tender it, my sincere appre
ciation and best wishes.

MARKET PLAN 0.K track
April .1st was the date set as the i
limit for securing the sign-up of at,
least 200,000 bales of cotton under ;
the Co-operative Marketing Plan. j
The movement has proved a great
success, and nearly 300,000 bales
have been signed thus far, with the
prospect that the number will soon
be very largely increased.
The remains of Mr. L. M. Reeves
were brought here Monday for inter
ment from Smyrna, where he has
made his home the past few years
with his daughter, Mrs. J. T. Perkins,
and funeral services were conducted
in the afternoon By Rev. J. R. Mc-
Uregor at the home of his grand-
' daughter, Mrs Gco.Colbert on Stubbs
street. Mr. and Mrs Perkins and
j daughter, Miss Mittie Mee, accom-
| panied the remains, and Mr. and Mrs.
i.I. W Bobo came over from Silver
I Creek to attend the funeral. Mr.
1 Reeves was 84 years old, a native of
DeKalb county. He was a brave
Confederate veteran, a sharpshooter
in Co. K, 13th Alabama, and was
Wounded twice. Right after the War
he was united in marriage with Miss
Elizabeth Hand, who passed away
eleven years ago. He was a staunch
member of the Baptist church, and
for many years was one of our most
highly esteemed citizens.
Mr. S. L Clay, one of our leading
contractors and an excellent citizen,
passed away Monday evening, aged
65 years. He had been in ill health
for some time, but the end came sud
denly, as he had been about his ac
customed duties that day. Mr. Clay
was born in Fulton county, and his
wife, who survives him, was Miss
Frunces Wilkins of Canton. Their
surviving children are Messrs. W. F,
and Jesse Clay, Mesdames Fred Ben
der, J. A. Bedwell, J. E Cooper, J J
Thomasson and Geo. Moore. Fu
neral services were conducted yester

BETTER USE THIS
Calcium Arsenate.
In response to petition liy the State
Board of Entomology, of which J. J.
Brown, Commissioner of Agriculture,
is chairman, the Georgia Legislature
last year provided a revolving fund
of $10,000 to be used by tho State
Board of Entomology for V.ho pur
pose of buying calcium arsenate at
the lowest possible price to be de
livered direct from manufacturer to
consumer.
After every precaution was taken
and exhaustive examinations were
made, the Board of Entomology com
pleted a contract with the Sherwin-
Williams Co. of Cleveland, O., for
calcium arsenate that in every res
pect complies with the law regulat
ing the chemical analysis and phy
sical conditions of same.
These goods are now ready for
shipment stored in warehouses in Sn-
vsnnnh and Atlanta. The price at
which it can be had Is 9 cents per
pound, cash or its equivalent to ac
company order. In car load lots of
25,000 lbs. or more, rate of freight
will bo allowed to any railroad ship
ping point in Georgia; less than car
load lots, the price will be the same,
with tho understanding that parties
buying calcium arsenate will pay lo
cal rate of freight from Savannah or
Atlanta, as desired.
Parties ordering calcium arsenate
will deal directly with the State
Board of Entomology, making all
cdiecks payable to them. Calcium ar
senate, it will be understood, is car
ried in stock in 25, 50, 100 and 200
lb. size package containers.
It is further understood that a 25
lb. package is obtainable provided
you only want this amount. Should
you order 100 lbs., you would receive
a 100 lb. package. Should you order
a thousand, you would receive five
200 lbs. bhls.
Parties who expect to use calcium
arsenate on their cotton this yoar
should begin immediately to make ar
rangements for their requirements,in
tirdqr that prompt dplivory can bo
made! Below you will find a com*

NEGROES DROWN
The old mill dam has again taken
toll of life —this time a couple of
negroes, Boyd Jenkins and Bob Bo
hannon.
With another negro named Fain
they went out Friday morning in a
boat to look after some fish lines they
had set. It rained very hard during
the night, and the creek was up..
When they struck the current, they
could make no headway and Jenkins
und Bohannon went over the dam.
Fain jumped out, and held on to a
projecting rock on the dam and was
rescued.
High water prevented the recovery
of the bodies until Sunday, when
they were found near the West av
enue bridge.
500,000 MINERS
Go Out on Strike in
Coal Industry.
The contract between the coal op
erators and the miners unions expir
ed April 1st. The two contracting
parties could not agree on a new con
tract, and the miners lay down their
tools and quit work.
The 400,000 bituminous miners
demand continuance of the present
basic wage scale of $7.60 a day for
ordinary lnbijr, and establishment of
a basic six-hour day and five-day
week in place of the existing eight-
hour day. The 160,000 anthvacite
miners demand an increase of 20 per
cent in the contract rate and $1 a
day in the day-labor rate. These and
other requests for changes in work
ing rules and conditions the opera
tors refuse, contending that war
time wages should come down and
that the working schedules which the
miners ask are unsound.
The miners will get a long vacation
during a slack period In the coal in
dustry, the operators will get higher
prices for coal already stocked, and
the public will pay the bill. As usual,
tho poor will be the real sufferers.
Manufacturing enterprises have had
hard time of it the past two years,and
many of them have kept running just
to keep their employees together. If
tho strike forces the shut-down of
factories, as it 1 will do If It continues
long enough, the suffering among the
poor will he great Indeed.
Some of the operators regardod
tho demands as so unreasonable that
they would not even go into confer
ence vfith the men to discuss them,as
they wore under agreement to do,
nnd to this extent they forfeit the
sympathy of the public.
With rapacious and Well Intrench
ed greed on one side and a bullhead
ed lack of reason on the other, the
public is likely to be caught between
the upper nnd nether millstones.
President Lewis, of the miners,
union, gave the real reason for his
attitude away the other day when he
declared in favor of the “nationaliza
tion” of the coal industry. If he
could force the government to take
over the mines, he would figure that
tho miners could get any demands
they might make. The operators, too,
might figure In the same way that
Uncle Sam would have to pay them a
fancy price for their mines. What
ever the outcome, the public will
“pay the fiddler.”
