tourists return tirud but HAITI’ (Continued from page 4) >t Eatonton the night stop, the par ty were not swept off their feet at the hotel accommodations but this was forgotten the next morning when the (jtizens of the town took charge of the tourists carrying them around the city and out to their creamery. Here one of the most interesting sights was enjoyed. This creamery is a co-operative one, o,ed and operated by the farmers of f Territory, working with the preeis k’nAof a clock. There is something like a thousand cows which furnishes the milk which is collected every morning and brought to town in wag ons where it is passed through mach ines which take the cream out of it and it is shipped by express either as fresh cream or butter, yielding the farmer 18 cents a gallon for the milk. The money to buy the cows that sup ply this creamery was advanced to the farmers by the banks and while it started in a small way it has develop ed into one of the largest in the state. The industry was given very careful attention by Secretary Smith and Prof. Eunice and it is possible that such an enterprise will be started in Douglas fit an early date. From Eatonton to Jeffersonville the run was uneventful, but at the latter place, w hich, by the way, is one of the smallest towns on the tour in which a stop was made. Here a barbecue was served and was quite a delightful oc casion. The people of that progress jive little city will certainly have a at town before long as they show an industrious spirit and tried to out do all other towns in entertaining. At Cochran we were again entertain ed with a spread and later a drive around the city. Peacock Brothers have one of the largest hog ranches in the State here and have some great specimens on exhibition. The party was met by a delegation outside of Hawkinsville and carried into the city where quite a pretentious entertainment was given. the party. At this place the party was so worn out from the long trip and a strong de sire td get home that night a vote was taken to see whether the trip should « continued the next day, making Ab eeville and Eastman and the result of the vote was that the party should go direct to Douglas.

It cost twice, and sometimes three times as much to make some Lenses as others. Errors of refraction, and muscle anomalies are class ed as follows : Uypermetropia Far Sight Presbyopia Old Sight Myopia— Near Sight All three come under one head. Plain astigmatism (only half the eyeball out of focus) and compound astigmatism (the whole eye out of focus but half in excess of the other) comes under one head. Heterotropia and Heterophoria involves the muscles which turns the eyeball and holds it adjusted so that each eye can focus an object both at the same time. If one or more of these muscles are weak and out of harmony with those of the other eye there is a strain upon the eyes and a condition produced that will cause more trouble* and pain in the eyes and head than any other physical eye trouble. This condition can be entirely relieved by proper con structed lenses it is highly essential that this ano maly be handled by an unquestionably competent Optometrist.

My whole time is devoted to OPTOMETRIC and Laboratory work trip and not disappoint the places nam ed, but was overruled and all the cars but four left Hawkinsville for home. Col. McDonald and party. Mr. Smith and party, Mr. Arnold and party, Mr. Squires and party insisted on taking a much needed rest, spending the night at Hawkinsville, leaving there at 6 o’clock on Friday morning going to Fitzgerald where an informal break fast was given by Mr. Alex McDonald. After a stop of about two hours, the trip was completed, arriving at Doug las at twelve o’clock. It is impossible to figure the amount of good that will result from the trip. There never has been a tour of equal length run in the state of Georgia. There has never been a party enter tained more than this. There has nev er been so much publicity given a tour as has been given this one. Mr. Smith has made almost a complete trail of advertising matter over the seven hundred miles covered. The hundreds of people who could not get away from home long enough to be present at the meetings had the message carried to their doors where they will learn of the great possibilities offered the home seekers here. Mr. Smith has already had inquiries from .advertising matter distributed and it is a safe prediction that the Chamber of Commerce will be more than repaid for its untiring ef forts and money spent in staging it. Many funny stories are being told on members of the party but perhaps one of the best is told by Jim Kirkland on himself in speaking of the heat at Macon. Jim is not fond of the sky scrapers and insisted on being close to terra firma so he could easily jump out of the window in case of fire. It seems that he found a nail in the walls of his room and hung his shirt up to guard him while he slept. On awak ing he found where the gold button had melted and ran down the walls. It will doubtless fill us all with nride to know that we have an auto mobile driver that can put the famous Barney Oldfield and Ralph De Palma to shame —the power of the car not considered. Mr. J. C. Brewer was chafing tinder the slow driving that the party was making from Macon to Atlanta and had his driver. Mr. Major Brown, take the wheel of Mr. Baker’s car and drive into Atlanta as it was necessary to get that car into the city for repairs. Mr. Baker’s Cadillac left the party at Jonesboro, a distance of some twenty miles. Mr. Brewer prides himself in never having been passed COFFEE COU NT V PROGRESS Yours for easy eye work now and good sight when you are old >V\ R. WILSON, Optomotric Specialist Douglas, Georgia by any living man. He made the run to Atlanta in about thirteen minutes and when the brakes were applied in front of the Ansley we found Mr. John McGovern was right there with his John Henry Ford, top side up with care. The average Ford cannot make more than fifty miles an hour but oc cupants of the two Cadillacs firmly bo lieve that Mr. McGovern has special gears in his Ford and can make any speed up to 113 miles an hour. W'e forgot to mention that Mr. Mc- Govern did not have but one leaf in his front spring while making this daring drive but he did not need any at all as he never touched the ground more than once or twice from Jones boro to Atlanta. Mr. McGovern did not pass Mr. Brewer, but the only reason he did not do so was the fact that Mr. McGovern did not wish to hurt Mr. Brew’er’s pride. Mail Order Houses Flooding Country Special to The Progress. Atlanta, July 27.—While small town merchants complain of the mail or der houses taking away their trade, the Fourth Estate, a publication devot ed to newspaper work, has made an in vestigation which shows that lack of publicity on the part of local merch ants is principally responsible. The investigation showed that farm ers received mail order catalogues reg ularly, while comparatively few local merchants advertised in their home papers to any extent, and then only with old standing ads which were lack ing in attractiveness, quoted no prices and were not calculated to produce a desire-for goods. In these towns where the merchants advertised liberally, the influence of the mail order house was hardly felt.

Twelfth: Cotton will be shown in a series of vivid pictures, from its planting and chopping time through the various processes to the finished product of the Georgia mills. These and many other features will make up a film that will hold in rapt attention any audience during tha en tire production. All of the views will be animated, and have so much life detail in them showing actual work in progress, that the pictures will be one of intense in terest from start to finish. Two films will be made. One is to run in Georgia to acquaint the people of the State with the resources of their State and to arouse civic pride in the hearts of its citizenry. It is expected that this will be run at every motion picture house in Georgia, and will be viewed by at least 1,000,000 people in side the State. The other film will be run with a lecturer through the East and Wesi. It is planned to run the film for not less than two years, averaging five days each week. An average of 1,000! people per day seeing it, will mean it will be viewed by over a quarter of! a million people during that period. | It is planned to show it not only to) large audiences, but, also, at private i exhibitions to select groups of fi nanciers and business people to im press them with tlm wonderful oppor-' 'unity Georgia offers to outside capital for investment. It will be shown in the cities in order to attract the at tention of the general public to Geor gia, and it Will go into the smaller towns of the Middle West and be shown to select crowds of specially invited farmers, to secure a large in crease in the agricultural population of the State. The undertaking is the most stu pendous of any attempted by the Geor gia Chamber of Commerce since its or ganization, and, to be successful, must have the active support and coopera tion of the whole citizenship of the State. REPLIES TO LETTER FROM MR. M. L. PATRICK. Nicholls, Ca., 7-22-1915. Editor Coffee County Progress, Douglas, Ga. Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your col umns to say a few words in reply to M. L. Patrick, of July 13th, 1915. This man was guard at the camp for a short while, and was discharged at my request. He leaves the camp making all sorts of false reports concerning the man agement of the camp and county's af fairs. He tells the people I have been work ing the county’s mules on my farm, but don’t tell them I was working the mule in exchange for the work of a horse, which was all done by the consent or the Board. For the information of the people, of Coffee County, 1 here below submit to you the figures showing what amount'was spent during Mr. Gaskin’s administration under the one commis sion law and for which Patrick has so many good things to say, and the amount spent during the 2 years un der the law w’hich I served as chair man for which he has so many hard things to say.

Although the constitutional amend ments committee of the House recom mended two new counties this past week, it has turned down three prop ositions, and it is said similar fate : s awaiting other pending measures. The Cook county proposition which was to take 230 square miles from (Berrien with Adel as the county Iseat, has just been dealt a body blow ! from which it is not likely to recover. The creation of this new county was the ambition of Representative J. P. Knight, of Berrien, and was one of the principal issues upon which he was elected. This county was to hav' been named after the late General Philip Cook, father of the present Secretary of State. More than 10e people came here from Adel and Nashville, to advocate and oppose the icounty, and the argument at times .became heated. Mr. Knight said he j had been sent here" by a majority of j the people of his county, to put the 1 new county through, and offered the recommendation on the subject of 'he Berrien county commissioners, which I | opponents of the project declared was given as a part of a political trade. | Opponents of the project won out, land with an unfavorable report there is chance of Berrien county go ling under the surgeon’s knife at this session. Two Recommended The two new counties which have been recommended are Teutlen, to be created from portions of Montgomery jand Emanuel with Soperton as the county seat, and Atkinson county from parts of Coffee and Clinch, with Pearson as the county seat. The addition of the Teutlen pro ject precluded any possible favorable James county w ith Adrian as its coun ty seat, as the two propositions eon ficted. The James people, however, insist that they are coming back. They are loaded with "ammunition,” and if they can’t get what they want this time, they are at least going to fight valiantly to prevent the creation of Teutlen county which, once estab lished, would perhaps forever ex clude James. Thus, Treutlen seems foreordained to defeat, at least so far as this session is concerned. Atkinson County Very much the same sort of a situ ation confronts Atkinson county, the creation of which will squelch the am bitions of Willaeoochee. The latter town wanted to be the center of At kinson county, while Pearson sought a county to be called Axson. The Pearson proposition won out, the onlyj difference being that the name was changed to Atkinson, after the late father of Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, I a member of the present legislature. It Is more than evident that Willa cooehee is going to continue to fight for life, just as "'will Adrian.

O. K. PRESSING CLUB A. H. HUCKERBY, M*r. 215 East Ward St, < Thone4B. probabilities are that the two will join forces against the creation of Treutlen and Atkinson counties. This with the general opposition in certain quarters to the continued creation of ! new counties is expected to defeat both of them. Notwithstanding, therefore, the fa vorable recommendations of the con stitutional amendments committee, ithe chances are all decidedly against any new county legislation whatso ever at the present session. It looks very much as if there will have to he some conferences and compromises before any of them can get through. New counties which have been ! created in the past have had prac tically no opposition except some of a minor nature based upon general opposition to further subdivision of the county units. There is every rea son to believe that others which get through must do it. on the same basis. Senator Smith Will Deliver an Address Special to The Progress.
