CEDARTOWN Volume 36. 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. PRICE EDWARDS.

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.

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.” .
