My Dnr Dr. Cooke: Last spring
•t the christening of the new county
, f vu greatly eurprleed to hear ai
your only reaeon for wanting to se-
cede from old Tbomaa, the adoption
of the alternatlTe road‘law. You
may have had othera but thla waa
the only one that dropped from your
eleere. Now If :you bad wanted a
county becauae crime waa rampant,
and the territory ao tar off that lta
proeecutlon Waa neglected to the In
jury of the law abiding dtlaena, you
would hare had a good case and I
nerer would hare written you thla
letter. Now doctor you know that
you hare been one of the unterrl-
COTTON MEN
MAKE PLANS
PROGRAM OUTLINED FOR
6UIDANCE OF ALL MEMBERS
OF ASSOCIATION.
Important reaolutlona outlining
the plana of the Georgia division
Southern Cotton Association, were
adopted at Its conrentlon held la At
lanta.
Among the actions taken were
reaolutlona declaring that the price
of cotton seed should be flxed at SO
cents pef bushel throughout the state
providing for the appointment of
committee to bring about eloper re
lations between the cotton growers
and .the cotton spinners, andwlth
rlew to eliminating the speculatlre
feature; declaring that all cotton
producers In Georgia should hold
their cotton for the minimum price
fled Pops from the beginning. Tou. to ^ flj|ed by tb# M#cnt)Ttl eommlt-
know that you were ready to defend „ itI comlng ln A(he .
our creed against all comers. If
our whole brigade bad a single sold
ier that would make uglier Souths
at any fellow that would say anyth
ing about our creed, deponent
knoweth him not, but It seems that
you have changed your base on part
at least. I can't exactly understand
for It I am rightly Informed you eat
np a Tom Watson Magaslne once a
month and never have to take.an
alkali. If you kick out of Thomas
county ‘In ISOS because of the adop
tion of the road law why did' you
not kick out of the peoples' party In
ISIS, St. St, when they proposed to
change the road working system by
putting convicts on the public roads.
Yon may claim that It Is not ex
actly like that, ,that the convict sys
tem Is not the alternative. As I write
t have a manuaMor road commission
ers and overseers before me on page
481 And that the alternative provides
for the working of a chain gang.
The Doctor's Flop.
Now doctor how are you going to
work a chain gang without some tax
ation? Of ocurse you know that men
like Watson, Hines, Peek, yourself,
Bill Collins and Frank Miller would
say to a convict when he was con-
vie ted: “Sam, you go over here to
Cairo work the road and feed your
self.” “BUI, you go to Coolldge and
do the same.” You know that
guards and general equipment would
have kept to be provided; you also
know that Georgia's convict labor
would not have kept the roads work
ed alone. The only difference worth
mentioning was thatwe proposed the
change for the whole state. The
legislature gave It local opUon, we
proposed to.have one big row In
changing the system, they flxed tor
one In cash county.
He Leaves Past Principles.
' In case we had gained the victory
and endeavored to put our platform
In operation, acUng upon the samo
theory that you now stand on you
would have kicked out of the State.
It I can't get a whole loaf I will take
half. Now doctor you say you kick
because you have served your time
on the road and It alnt right for you
to pay fl tax on each $1,000 you
give In. Now doctor you know you
clamored for equal and exact justice
for all and special privileges for
none. Now do you think that you
carry out that platform when you
make the man that has no horse nor
vehicle nor anything else do as much
work on the road as the man with a
half dosen wagons tearing It
you know Its a tax anyway If he
works live days be Istaxed that many
days’ work. If It Is right to tax him
as much to keep up the roads It Is
as right -to tax him to keep up the
governor and state and county offl-
A Word to Old Misers.
But doctor you seem to rebel be
cause you think you have reached
an age the our fathers thought that
you were not able to do a good day's
Work, that you might hinder the boys
Ac. Suppose you old misers that
have-much goods laid up for many
years keep your teams off the pub
lic roads, if God hasn't given you
■ the ability to lay up
vine, N. C., declaring the growers of
the present crop of sea Island cotton
should receive 10 cents per pound for
their product;' providing for the ap
pointment of organisers to go Into
each county and mtlltla district ln
the state; providing for an asst
ment upon each county of one per
oent per bale of cotton raised ln 1104
for the purpose of paying the expen
ses of the state division, and urging
that provision be made for a national
organ fot^the association. There was
was a good attendance present from
all sections of the state, some sixty
to seventy-live counties being repre
sented.
Another Tall One.
After two years of loneliness the
big seventeen foot corn stalk ln the
corner of the Tlmes-Enterprlse office
has been joined by a cousin only q
few Inches shorter than he Is. The
new arrival Is from the garden patch
of Mr. L. Humphreys In Fatrvlew.
Its roots reached three feet under
ground and Its solitary ear Is twelve
feet from the base. It Is of the
“Mexican June" variety.
CLOUDBURST
DEALS DEATH.
Trinidad, Col., Aug.' 18.—Thirteen
lives are knwn tohave been lost In a
flood, caused by a cloudburst near
Tobasco, In the canyon, and the list
of dead may be Increased. Reports
arestlll current that more than thirty
are missing. Twenty-nine houses
washed away at Tobasco, 11 of which
were occupied
by Americans.
Mrs. A. G. Robinson has gone to
Pelham for a visit.
anything at the age of 50 you ought
by all means to be excused for the
roads alnt worth much to you, but
It you have grown In goods as the
years rolled by, there Is not as much
reason that you .be excused from all
taxation as from you road taxation,
because that a system has been en
throned for a hudred or more years
doesn’t make It right.
Cook of All Othera.
And, doctor, ln conclusion I think
you should of all men be willing to
pay this little tax for you know how
you used to travel, about carpenter
ing on a fellow with all sorts of im’y
tools to put him ln chewing order.
You knew the value of good roads
then If you ever found one. Now let
him come to you perhaps In agony,
jolted by roots and gulleys, deUyi-d
by sand beds and mudholes. O.n n
the bowels of compassion forthe fel
low with the toothache, go ba.k to
your old platform and help me to
make a rough way smooth for him
and a long way short. Doctor, I
hope you will excuse the exceeding!

clrlining you I forgot when I vras at.

first of October a large force will be
at work from Warm Springs to La
Grange the grading to be completed
to this city by the coming March r
April. In the meantime rails will
have been laid to Talbotton. Thi
officials hope to have trains running
trem the lower end of the line throu
gh La-Grange as far as Roanoke by
the early part of the coming sum
mer.
An evidence of the fact-that the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
people are making a record In rail
road construction that may startle
the whole country Is shown by the
large force at work near Chalbeate
Springs, where they are working 14
hours a day, not a single moment

arose at the cdpltol yesterday as to

The matter was referred to Attor
ney General John C. Hart, who, after
examination of the blanket bill pro
viding for the organisation ot new
counties , held that the ordinaries of
tho counties, are authorised to have
this work done and that the expense
will fall upon the new eoutles to be

The new plant of the South Geor
gia Clothing Company commenced
operation Thursday morning lnFlnn
Block on Madison street. This is a
“small Industry" of the type which
Thomssville greatly needs. The
company has the cordial good wishes
of every one In the city for Its im
mediate and continued success.
The Incorporators are E. ’B. Par
ker, 8. E .Parker and George A.
Parker. The plant Is under the
active msnagepent of Mr. E. B.
Parker assisted by his son. The out
put of the factory will at present be
confined to overalls and the number
turned out will be ten dosen per day.
Mr. Parker says he will have no
difficulty of disposing of Us entire
output as several firms are' bidding
for It.
The present working force consists
of Mr. Parker and his son, the fore
man, Mr. A. B. Salter, formerly of
Americus, a forewoman, and five
otlrnr operators. The machines are
run by young ladles. All of them are
experienced workwomen and most
of them came herefrom Americas.
The room ased Is well suited for
the purpose with plenty of light and
floor space. In the reaar Is a gaso
line engine which furnishes 'power.
A long shafting runs to the front of
the shop where nine machines are In
use. As the factory grows new ma
chines wig be added back ot the
present ones.
The process of manufacturing the
overalls Is an Interesting one. The
blue cloth Is purchased In'bales. The
contents of an entire bale Is then
spread out on a long table and the
patterns are marked la chalk on the
material. It Is then gathered up
and transferred to the opposite side
of the room to a cutting table.
The qptterns arc cut o.it by a long
kocn sword-like knife which operates
In a slot ln the table and the mater
ial Is moved about thla groove so
the knlto can follow the chalk marks
After the cutting Is done the pattern
Is taken to the machine table. Each
machine has a different part of Mi-.'
garment to work on and It Is trans
ferred from one to the other as he
work progresses. Finally the com
pleted garment after having buttons
stapled Into It by a special machine
Is ready for shipment. The work
done Is neat and the overalls ink
stantlal. One new feature which the
output of this plant contains la a
metal spring In the back of the sus
penders. This hakes the place of
elastic and Is much more satisfactory
a* the lubber Is so easily ruined^hy
presptratton.

FAILING
WOMEN
Many women auffer untold torture
through nerve debility, caused by
disorders of the feminine organs, and
drag aton^from day to day, petting
They know their needs, but natural
modesty makes them shrink from ex
posing themselves to the embarrass
ing questions of the family physician.
In such cases as these a woman’s
future happiness or misery hangs on
the selection of a remedy. If she gets
the wrong medicine her troubles
grow worse and her hopes of finding
relief become blighted. The chances
are she will never make another ef
fort to find relief as long os she lives-
