SYRUP MARKET
Careful investigation shows the present market price for A No. 1, syrup is 30c a gallon. Every
farmer knows this price is too low.
Some of our customers need money to pay matured obligations of 1920 season, and to purchase
supplies for next season.
SOME DECISION MUST BE MADE
If you are going to farm next year preparations of land etc. must begin at once
WE WANT TO HELP THE SITUATION
and for a limited time we will take A. No. 1, syrup in new iron bound barrells
for the above purposes
At 40 Cents a Gallon
This is over 33 per cent, above the present market price, and we believe as high as it will go in 1921.
Our customers must take into consideration it must be resold, and we must stand leakage, storage
charges, insurance and possible loss. This will only be for a few hundfed barrells and when we have as
much as we can handle we will be forced to withdraw this offer. If you want to sell your syrup
without sacrificing it. ACT QUICKLY, for this is your chance.

John T. McCracken and Bill Rad-1 ■
ney have started serving their sen
tences which will end at death unless
the governor intervenes. They were
carried to Mitchell county, the prison
commission granting their request
that they be sent there.
It was for the killing of Henry T.
Jones that the two men, both of whom
are old, were convicted. Their trial
in many respects was one of the
most remarkable ever staged before a
local court. Twice they faced a jury
for the same offense. The first ver
dict was for manslaughter and the
second was for murder with a recom
mendation.
Their attorneys, although turned
down by the highest court in the
State have not given up the long and
tireless fight they have made for
them. Already they are at work on
plans for securing a pardon and the
matter will be carried before the
governor at an early date!

Washington, Dec. 30.—The “jock-1
eying” with the soldiers’ bonus, which
featured the closing days of the pre
ceding session, has apparently been
resumed. As in those days which im
mediately preceded the Section, the
Republicans displayed the greatest in
terest in the soldiers, but did not
transform that interest into action,
in the present, they are “getting busy”
with the outloAk dismal for the com
pletion of the work.
The strategy of the Republicans
seem to be to force the Democratic
administration to prove the impracti
cability of a soldiers’ bonus and to
assume a position against it. * The
Secretary of the Treasury, David F.
'Houston, has not only presented the
proof, but has declared his unalterable
opposition. It is his contention that
the granting of a bonus would entail
a burden of $2,300,000,000 on the al
ready distressed tax payers pf the
country, and it is probable that the
aforesaid tax payers will proceed to
protest.
The argument of the soldiers has
been that whereas Government clerks
discharged very necessary duties dur
ing the war, and were entitled to a
bonus of $240, their duties were not
more necessary than the soldiers,' and
infinitely less dangerous; and that in
consequence, the soldiers should be re
warded as the clerks were rewarded.
In this connection, the clerks, with
| the prospect of the soldiers very
gloomy indeed, are going about, with
| the assistance of the American Fed-
1 eration of Labor, in a campaign to i
I make the bonus of $240 permanent.
| The clerks, today, through their exec-1
j utive officers, declare in a formal
I statement, that their campaign will;
l be successful, and that for their con-
j fidence they have the words of “the
I leaders of Congress. •
| The Lehlbaeh bill, which pends,
' would do away with the clerks' bonus
■ by making it a permanent addition to
their salaries. The opposition con-
j tends that with the increased salaries,
! the clerks very soon would demand a
j bonus. However this may be, the
! indications are that the clerks will
| succeed, yrF the soldiers will fail.
McRae, Ga., Dec. 30.—As the result
of a quarrell on Christmas Day, Ern
est Dowdy, son of Z. W. Dowdy, was
shot and instantly killed by Dan
Walker, when they met this morning
a short distance from this place.
The two young men engaged in a
gun duel, which lasted for several
minutes. Walker fired six times,
three of the bullets taking effect, and
Dowdy fired three times, but Walker
escaped injury.
There was two eye-witnesses to the
shooting, but little detail can be se
cured. Walker and the dead boy re
sided in what is known as the Tem
perance District of this county and
their friends have nothing to say as
what led up to the duel this morning.
Excitement Prevails in McRae.
The shooting aided to spur up the
excitement in this section, which has
been prevailing since the shooting of
three men,’ Williams, Walker and
Johnson, a short distance from Mc
Rae a few nights ago by Sam Peddus,
a farmer.
It is alleged that the trio attacked
Peddus at his home and in the gun
fight that followed he proved to be
th better marksman and the three men
are suffering from painful wounds.
Walker and Johnson were released
from jail this morning on bail, while
Williams is still being held, unable
to make bail. His wounded hand is
causing him considerable pain.
It is alleged that the trio attacked
Peddus, who is a well-known and
prosperous farmer in this section be
cause he took a prominent part in the
arrest of persons in McRae for the
violation of the prohibition law.
We Retest negative characters—
those silent figures in a restless,
bustling world. We despise the sort
that is etntent with the mummy life.
Somehow we like the fellow who does
something, and does it wrong, far
more than we do the fellow who does
nothing fir fear he wijl do that some
thing wrong. Start something!
There's tonic in a dare. Scare some
body—antagonize something. On.'-
the dead keep quiet. ”
