Strong Expressions of Euharlee
Farmers Club'cn Round Lap-
CLUB WILL NOT PATRONIZE
Companies Employing Roundlap
Baling System—Similar Action
Asked of Others Clubs.
The Euharlee Farmers Club met
at the home of Mr.'S- G. Dodd the
first Saturday in August ’vith a
good attendance. Reports from all
■the committees showed everything
in good condition. Corn and cot
ton bid fair for a good crop.
D. S. Stephens made his report
as delegate to the Cotton Growers
Protective Association, which was
encouraging. It is the mind of
this club that we have a county
organization in the county at an
early day, and we invite farmers
' to give an expression of their views
on this subject.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the club:
Whereas, Certaiu influences of
trusts and combines are at work in
our midst through their agents to
get a monopoly of the ginning and
baling of our cotton by tne Round
lap bale system, and
Whereas, We, as producers of
cotton are opposed to trusts, com
bines and monopolies of every kind
that will prove detrimental to our
interests.
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
Euharlee Farmers club that we
•condemn in unmeasured terms any
effort on the part of any company
or combine to try to force on the
agricultural people anything that
will put them at the mercy of the
Roundlap bale system, and that we
will not patronize any company
that will attempt to place, us in
such a condition, or force upon us
the Roundlap bale system; and
•that we call on all the agricultural
clubs in Bartow county to take
similar action and all farmers and
producers of cotton to stand with
us in our action in this matter.
Next meeting of the club at the
home of,H. H. Milam, Subject,
"Shculd Farmers Organize.”

turned out in force, there were peo

wagon and put up duly, gave its
accustomed lead to music, under
the skillful touch of competent
hand. Cartersville, while Prof.
Spartan Gilreath, an expert vocal
ist led the singing, and the beauti
tul woods around reverberated with
the melody of many sweet and fa
miliar pieces.
The dinner was a grand spread,
embracing everything good that
could be thought of temptingly
prepared. ,
A quantity of fine melons had
•-1 een placed in the spring early in
the morning and were cut and en
joyed after the dinner.
A number of the young people
went over to Saltpetre cave and
<took a tour through its labyrinth
-of large and small and wonderful
recesses.
Mr. Henry Haveniar, the active
superintendent, acted as master of
•ceremonies and was ably assisted
by .\ir. Harrison Loyeless. These
two gentlemen spared no effort to
make the occasion a complete suc
cess.
The Liberty Hill Sunday school
is one of the snost flourishing in
the county and the zeal and fine
methods used in making it a suc
cess re worthy of emulation by
other localities.

A SAD DEATH-
Mrs, w. O. Henderson Passes away

Mrs. Henderson was formerly Miss
Milinie Stegall, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John P. Stegall, of
Emerson. She w.*ts born August
13, 1867, and was, therefore, near
her 35th birthday when she died.
She was married February 19, 1890.
Mrs. Henderson was a pleasant
natured, amiable young woman
whom every one liked who knew
ner. She had been zealous and de
voted member of the Methodist
church for twenty years while as
wife and mother she was dutiful
and loving.
She leaves besides her husband,
a bright little son, eight years old.
To the sadly bereft the sympathies
of many friends are extended.
The funeral services were con
ducted at Raccoon church Satur

tst church, at Stilesboro. The bur

Twinkle Meets With an Accident-
Columbus. Ohio, Jolly 30th, 1901.
In the 2.14 race, purse SISOO,
Twinkle lined up in a field of four
teen starters, and was ‘Tayed up”
the first heat, finishing easily in
6th place, time 2.08 1-4. In the
second heat, she was out for bus
iness, and paced around five horses,
chasing the winner out and being
beaten only one-half length at the
wire in 206 3-4. In the third and
fourth heats she was the contend
ing horse, driving the winner out,
and being beaten only by close
margins, she was second these
heats in 2.09 1-4 and 2.08 3-4. In
the fifth and last heat she was a
good second, to the 3-4 pole,where
her check rein broke, she threw a
shoe, was run into and fouled and
finished behind the flag. This
breaks her successful record, being
her first race this season in which
she did not land at least a part of
the purse. Out of five races this
season she won two of them; won
2d money in the 3d, and won 3d
money in the 4th, and was un
placed in the fifth race.
Baseballists Return-

ing, after winning the second series
of games, and report a fine time
from start to finish.
The first series was played at
Cartersville. Notwithstanding the
Rome team was in splendid condi
tion, superbly supported and play
ed ball, in Cartersville and at Rome,
the Cartersville team was just a bit
too much and a little too warm for
the boys. Out of six games played
Cartersville has won four, one
called off on account of rain in the
fourth inning.
The Cartersville boys were en
tertained at the Armstrong by the
team and citizens of Rome. To
say they were nicely treated is put
ting it but mildly.

PICNIC AND BARBFCUE-

nual Picnic at Shelman.
One of the most delightful pic
nics of the season, and one which
is looked forward to with a great
deal of pleasure as each year rolls
around, was the picnic and barbe
cue of the Stilesboro Farmer’s Club
which was held at Shelman spring
last Saturday.
The Stilesboro Club is noted for
its excellent dinners, which is a
feature of their monthly meetings,
and when the time for the annual
picnic and barbecue comes, when
all the members of the club bring
baskets filled with the good things
from the farm, and add to this a
most excellent barbecue, it is a feast
fit for the gods and seldom enjoyed
by man.
The day was an ideal one for a
picnic. Shifting clouds hung over
the sky and made it delightfully
pleasant for anouting. The shady
grove and sparkling waters of the
spring also added to the pleasure
of all, and each one of the large
number present reaped the richest
joys from the occasion.
This club is made up of staunch
citizens and progressive farmers
whose influence is felt throughout
that section, and the wives and
daughters of the members, to whom
isuuethe success of these annual
occasions, are model housekeepers
and progressive in the culinary arts.
The occasion will be pleasantly
remembered by all who were so for
tunate as to be present.
Cobb’s and Phillip’s Legions.
The annual reunion of the sur
