MISS MYRTICE CONE.
Let There be Light.
Advertising is the sunlight of busi
ness. To all that is healthy and vital
in business, it means increased
strength and growth; but advertising
is a fierce heat which withers and
consumes that which is unsound.
A business which is not a good
business should not be advertised. A
business should not be advertised.
A business which would not ben
efit from widespread appreciation of
its ideals had better acquire a new
set of ideas. Let the sunlight in.

improving facilities, Cedartown will

Card from Judge Irwin.
To the people of the Tallapoosa
Crcuit:—
One of my opponents, I under
stand, is saying to the voters of the
circuit: ‘‘Elect me and I will save
your county money. I will get your
county out of debt.” Why didn’t he
do it when he had an opportunity?
Every county in the circuit was in
debt when I came to the bench, and
in every county the jury scrip had to
be discounted, and he was the last
one to bat. It is likely true that the
court expenses have been greater
since** I have been on the bench than
when he presided. There are two
reasons for that:—
First, he held very little court the
year his son was sick and died. The
court expenses have been increased
since I have been on the bench; the
jurors and bailiffs have been getting
$3 per day since I have been holding
court, and they got $2 while he was
op the bench.
During my term manufacturing
liquor is made a felony by the Leg
islature, requiring the same number
of jurors as a murder case, making
the felony work three or four times
what it was before and increasing the
expenses in same ratio. Since my
term began the greatest wave of
crime the country Ins evei known
has swept over it, and notwithstand
ing that fact the court is in as good
condition now as at any time since I
have known it. I have attended to
the business, and while that is done
the law fixes the expenses, and no
Judge can save money except by ex
pediting the business. I never have
charged a grand jury till 12 o’clock.
Every county in the circuit was in
debt when I came on the bench; ev
ery county in the State, so far as I
know,i8 in debt now; the State is in
debt, the United States is in debt,the
balance of the world about bankrupt;
and my jurisdiction does not extend
over all this territory. I state these
facts that the people may know the
■truth. Respectfully,
F. A. IRWIN.

Today it is interested in a work story written by Washington Irving
which interests not only Cedartown . and which has been immortalized on
and Polk county but the whole State ! the stage by the great Jefferson, will
of Georgia. It is a matter of State ( he presented tomorrow evening at
pride and patriotism, and
which every individual Georgian
should be glad to take part.
The Georgia Bay—the section set
aside for Georgia ns one of the thir
teen original Colonies in the fine Rev
olutionary War memorial at Vnllcy
Forge—is unfinished and unfurnish
ed, thus reflecting discredit on the
Empire State of the South.
Through the good work of Hon.
Chas. Adamson, of Cedartown, the
Georgia Kiwanis Clubs have taken
the work up in earnest of raising the
necessar funds to place Georgia on
an equal footing with her sister
States in this regard, and the share
of the Cedartown Kiwanis Club is
nearly $400.
And Cedurtown has local talent
that can do things right in the way of
entertaining.
Mr. J. F. Wakefied, an experienced
and successful theatrical director and
producer, is in charge of the enter
tainment, and will himself play the
part of “Rip.”
The play is an enjoyable one, and
the cast is excellent. You will like
the entertainment, which will give
you two hours of genuine pleasure.
And the price—it is only 50 cento
for adults, and 25 cents for children.
You will want to see it, and you
will want to help in the Kiwanis Club
work.

“Big Four” Conference
Tomorrow.
The big rail and coal strikes still
drug their wear length along,though
a conference is now in progress that
may settle the coal difficulty as far as
the trouble between the operators
and miners is cohcerned. It will be
Impossible, of course, to recover the
enormous losses due to the strike —
impossible, too, to prevent suffering
to helpless thousands because of the
inevitable coal shortage resulting
from it.
In the rail situation there have
been significant developments the
past week, one of them being that
the Southern Railway shopmen have
definitely refused the offer of that
road to take its men back with full
seniority rights. The refusal is bas
ed on the ground that it is a national
strike,and must be settled nationally.
On the same grounds, the Central
shopmen have not responded to a like
invitation from that road, which is
accordingly advertising for men to
take their pluces, saying that it is the
road’s duty to the public to keep run
ning, and that if their own men will
not go hack to work it is necessary to
put others in their places.
The Seaboard has been following
the example of roads in other sect
ions, and has been employing men to
take the placcB of the strikers. This
road has succeeded so well in filling
vacancies that trains Nos. 7 and 8
between Atlanta and Birmingham,
which were recently annulled, will be
put back Saturday.
A conference of the high officials
of the “Big Four” Brotherhoods is
called for tomorrow, and the terrible
catastrophe of a general tie-up of
transportation is among the unwel
come possissibilities.
President Harding’s flatest .pro
posal for settlement does not appeal
to either side, as it leaves the matter
of seniority to the Rail Labor Board,
and both sides are afraid of un ati--
verHe decision.
I If the strike is not settled befbre
I Congress re-convenes next week, it
will moan a taking over of the roads
I by the Government — something
which a large element on both sides
of the controversy would like *o see,
but which the tax paying public got*
more than enough of during the war,
—or “teeth” will be given to the
Rail Labor Board, which now can do
nothing but advise, and whose recom
mendations nave been disregarded by
both the roads and the unions when
ever it suited them. While the Presi
dent has secured a promise from both
that they will respect :i:e rulings of
the Board in the future, the absence
of penalties puts it at a great dis
advantage. It was i itended as a
means for bring’ng railroads awei the
unions into harmony an 1 could have
been made of great value to both,hut
as long as each insists on the ether
“signing right on the dotted line” in
stead of trying to work in harmony,a
Rail Board without power to enforce
its decisions is an expensive figure
head.

Mr. McCord, of At
lanta Elected by
Directors.
The Directors of our newly organiz
ed Chamber of Commerce met Mon-
day evening, and performed a most
important duty—the election of a
Secretary.
There were several applications,
and they had an abundance of good
material from which to select. Their
choice fell upon Mr. R. O. McCord, of
Atlanta, a gentleman with many
years of experience in development
work.
And that expression, “development
work,” tells the story. Mr. McCord
firmly denies any pretensions to be
ing a “booster” in the common itc-
ceptancc of the term, which does not
take much account of the basis for
boosting; but he believes that Cedar :
town has wonderful possibilities in
the way of development, and he is
here for that purpose.
Mr. McCord has been with the
Southwest Georgia Watermelon
Growers Association the past year,
and for about twelve years was in the
development work of the Southern
Railwny— an experience which will
be of great value to him and to Ce
dartown now.
Cedartown has a good Secretary
of her Chamber of Commerce, and
has a healthy young organization.
I’he organization is solely for the
purpose of developing Cedartown
and Polk county, and invites all pa
triotic citizens of the city and coun
ty to become members of it.
^hilo we have a good Secretary,
the members all Understand that the
life of the organization and the suc
cess of its work for Cedartown and
Polk county depend upon the individ
uals composing it fully ns much or on
its officers.
Mr. McCord is cordiully welcomed
here. Let us all help him whole
heartedly in his work.

MORE GOOD GAME
Two of the best games of the sea
son are in prospect for our fans.
Our Cotton Export team is win
ning an enviable reputation on the
diamond, and there is “something do
ing” whenever they line up against
an opposing team.
Forney comes for a game Satur
day, and those Alabama boys are
some artists with the swat-stick.
Stilesboro is booked for next Wed
nesday, and comes with an excellent
reputation. Our fans can anticipate
seeing a good game.
No one who cares for the great A-
merican game should miss eitheT one
of these.
Bremen came Wednesday—and it
was a scream! Score, 17 to 11 in
our favor. The visitors, for some
reason or other, played such rotten
hall that it was demoralizing to the
home team. Thompson,Thompson and
Camarata twirled the sphere for us,
with Knowles behind the bat.
And then/>ur hoys went to Talla
poosa Saturday afternoon, and won
10 to 11. The game was a tie, but in
the tenth inning Crumbley swatted a
home run with the bases loaded, and
our boys came home happy. Talla
poosa had won nineteen games in suc
cession, and expected to make Ce
dartown the twentieth, but Camarata
and Knowles on the mounds took a
different view of it, and the rest of
the boys gave them good backing.
The 'Poosans came back for an in
teresting game yesterday.
And now you can look forward to
Forney next Saturday, and to Stiles
boro next Wednesday.
