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. Buy it in Cedartown. Teachers Has Been Se- Coming Year.

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. Rubber Tire*. I will put Rubber Tires on your buggy from $8 to $9.50 a set; Good year Plain, $8; Goodyear Akron, $9; Goodyear Wing, $9.50, best grade; Goodyear Wing, Rubber and Steel Channel, $15.

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. The following is the excellent Cast of Ch arnctcrs. Rip Van Winkle J F.

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.

JANES, C. S. S. 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. i For Sale.

In my Father's house are many mansions: If It were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.—John 14: 1, 2. Monday.

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. U. D. C. Meeting. On Wednesday, Aug. 2d, the U. D.
