With a crop production below car

“There is c.uch hope in the pres

Hon. J. J. Brown, commissioner ot
agriculture for Georgia.
Cotton dealers here do not believe
that any right-mindod business man
or farmer now has any hope to see
cotton at forty cents again at any
time in the near future. Cotton. III/.’

Are Women Voters
In Slacker List?
After All the Fussing to Get
Ballot, They Seem Slow to
Go to Ballot Box.
Atlanta, Ga.—Out-of-state newspa
per*. taking the women of Muscogee
as an example, are commenting upon
whnt they term “women slackers.’ 1
It Is atated that only a small per cent
of the women ot Mnscogee county reg
istered for a recent election there and
"that they followed this aldesteppiif-
of public duty program up concerted-
ly when only fifty out of every hun
dred registered went to the polls on
election day."
“After all the fussing on the part
of the sisters for the ballot or bust
propaganda, we have a right to ex
press our amazement at their slack
ness." says one newspaper.
Now that the women have the bal
lot they are directly responsible for
the government, according to many
male voters.

ballot or bustess from that time to
this have been telling us of the mil-
lenlum that was going to. 1m dragged

UY advertised goods. Only good goods, fairly priced,
can stand the spotlight of publicity.
A merchant or manufacturer would not dare to adver
tise merchandise that is poor in quality, poor in make or
that will'not give reasonable wear. The penalty of such
tactics is too hepvy.
A merchant places the whole reputation of his business
at stake every time he advertises. Naturally enough, he
is careful of what he says and when his statement is
placed in the newspaper—where everyone in town may
read—so that any untruth in it will be known to all of his
employees and most of his friends—then you may be sure
lie is doubly careful.
