GREAT MEETING AT THE CITY HALL There was n great meeting at the city hall Tuesday night of the business men of Winder iu the interest of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-operatuve Association. Mr. T. B. Thornton, a prominent bus iness man of urtwell, Ga., explained thoroughly the co-operative marketing plan for cotton, whicli was approved. The following central committee was selected: C. B. Mott, chairman, C. O. Maddox, B. L. Manning. Claud Marne, H. A. Carithers and M. J. Griffeth. These men will work with a commit tee from each militia district compos ed of the best farmers and business men of those districts. The chairmen of the district committees are as fol lows : Bethlehem. It. L. Manning; Jones, Wm. Thomas; Htatliam, A. N. Porter; Chandlers, J. L. McEver; Ben Smith, J. C. Lovin: Auburn, T. G. EthrMge; Cains. Chas T. McDonald', Pentecost, R. J. Pentecost, Jr. Col. Clarence Ousley will addreess the farmers of Barrow county Friday mooning at. 10 o'clock at the Strand Theater on this very important matter. The following ten reasons were put forth why the meeting approved the Co-operative Cotton marketing con tract. 1. Because if will enable the produ cers of cotton to exercise some influ ence on the price at which it is sold. 2. Because it will make possible the substitution of an orderly selling of cotton throughout the year for the present practice of dumping a year’s supply on the market in a few months. .‘i. Because it will save the cotton producer tile expenses and profits of an army of middlemen who make larger profits than the men who produce the cotton. 4. Because it will save to farmers the losses they now suffer on account of almost universal uudergradiug and disregard of staple values. 5. Because it will save the farmers tin* enormous losses due to weather damage and repeated and unnecessary drawing samples. fj. Because it will enable tin* produ cer, acting through bis co-operative association, to deal at least, on even terms with buyer of liis cotton in mat ters of market information and knowl edge of grade, staple and other ele ments of value. 7. Because it will eliminate “dis tress" .selling which always demoral izes tile market and enables specula tors to reduce the price. H. B<*cause the plan Is not only sound in theory, but has been proved sound by the experience of one hundred thousand cotton farmers who are to day selling their cotton under It in tiie state of Texas, Oklahoma, Missis sippi ajid Arizona with brilliant suc cess. They are saving $lO to sls a bale by it. !*. Because it means the end of a wasteful und inefficient system which GOV. HARDWICK IN CREASES REWARDS INTHEDOSTERCASE State of Georgia Offers . Reward of SSOO Each for Murderers. THIS week, the Governor of Georgia Hon. T. IV. Hardwick has ordered that Secretary of State issue another Proclamation offering increased re wards for the murderers of Jesse Hes ter in this county in September. The rewards are increased from $l5O to $500.00 each, and the Proclamation follows: A PROCLAMATION GEORGIA: — By Thos. W. Hardwick, Governor of said State. On account of the brutal murder of Jess Doster of Barrow county by un known parties, and the circumstances surrounding the crime, as brought to my attention by the Sheriff and the Clerk of the Superior Court of suid county, ordered that the Secretary of State record and issue another Procla mation offering a reward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH for the apprehension and delivery of said un known parties with evidence sufficient to convict, to the Sheriff of Barrow county and State. This reward in lieu of one offered on November 15th, 1921,. And 1 do, moreover, charge and re quire all officers in this State, Civil and Military, to be vigilant in endeav oring to apprehend the said unknown parties, in order that they may be brought to trial for the offense with which they stand charged. Given under my hand and seal of the State, this the 28tli day of Nov. 1921. THOS. W. HARDWICK, Governor. By the Governor. S. G. McLendon, Secretary of State. Shcriffff H. O. Camp has been untir ing in his efforts to run down the mur derers of Jess Doster and is directly responsible for this increased reward, having taken the matter up with the Governor of Georgia and asked tin 1 increased rewards. In addition to the reward by the State, Barrow county lias offered SSOO and the brothers of the dead man have offered $1,000.00. Some of the best detective* are like ly to enter the case on account of the large rewards offered and it is more than likely that the guilty parties will soon be brought to Justice. Advertising To Selling What Lathering Is To Shaving, Says Authority 1 hastened into a barber’s shop the other day and asked if 1 could lie shaved in five minutes. “Yep!” was the reply. The barber quickly applied the soap, lie began lathering until lathering and kept on lathering until I felt sure 1 would miss my train. Still he kept on applying his soap brush. I was saying to myself: “W hy doesn t he quit tills process and get busy with his razor?” That would have been my way of shaving myself in a hurry. When he did finally take up his razor the job was over iu a jiffy uud I caught my train. The Incident, for some reason or oth er, begot this thought in my mind: Lather is to shaving very much the same thing as advertising is to selling. If you do enough preliminary work and do it properly, so that ground work has been thoroughly prepared, then the re sistance is very greatly reduced, and it is possible either to shave with less trouble or sell goods with less trouble. A great many business men are as foolish as 1 would have been in try ing to shave “myself in a hurry; they don’t use enough advertising before starting to try to get results. They don't apply enough advertising lather. L it not so? —B. C. Forbes, ill Forbes Magazine. (N. Y. has enriched every class that handles cotton, except the one that produces it. 10.

AMAZING SALARIES PAID BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD Salaries Range From $7,000.06 AIJ the Way I'p to sso,ooo.oo.—lnde pendent Organization. (From The Augusta Chronicle) When Hon. John Skelton Williams directed attention to the immense sal aries which men connected with the I federal reserve banks were receiving many people said that he was "beg ging the question,”—that in the midst of an arraignment of policies Mr. Wil liams had introduced the salary ques tion to confuse the charges of ruina tion by the “deflation” cotrse of the federal reserve system. However, the United States senate did not overlook the salary matter and a committee of the senate directed Governor W. I*. G. Harding of the fed eral reserve board to flic with it the salary lists of the twelve banks. Governor Harding has already tiled the salary list for bis bank. It shows that the president of the bank receives $50,000 a year, and that there are three officers of the bank Who receive $30,000 a year each, one that receives $25,000, one that receives $22,000, one that re ceives $20.(t00, two that receive SIB,OOO two that receive $15,000, one that re ceives $12,500, one that receives $12,- 900, five that receive SIO,OOO, one that receives $8,400, one that receives SB,- thmi, one that receives $7,500 and one that receives $7,000. The initial sala ary of the president of the New York Reserve Bank was $30,000 a year and the men who are now receiving $30,000 a year were started at $16,000 each. The federal reserve hoard is an in dependent organization; that is, is an organization not directly responsible to a cabinet officer. Enormous salaries have been paid in all these independent organizations. However, few know of tin* huge salaries it was paying before Mr. Williams told of them, and there were those who believed that Mr. Wil liams was in error as to them, hut who will now learn of Governor Hardings schedule with amazement. It has been shown that the shipping hoard has also been paying immense salaries. It is understood that sena tor,, have let it lie known that steps are to lie taken to bring all independent organizations under some proper de partment and that there is to be a re-j vision of salaries.
