BANKERS FAVOR STATE OWNERSHIP
OF A CALCIUM ARSENATE PLANT
Hartwell, Ga—A state-owned Cal

Prominent hankers form Macon. At

were here attending the meeting and

Whe resolution urging a state < alcium

the state build and operate a plant f

and sell it to the farmers cheap. If
" no. a™- Gonrsta
p e ct a “hold-up” by a combination <
interests now controlling the manufact
ure of Arsenate, it is pointed out.
"while Georgia was enabled last ye
to make a contract for a state supply
nine cents per pound, the best price

a small quantity, not nearly enough to

Speakers declared thflt it

It -was pointed out that there is no
justification in the claim that the in
creased price is due to inability to ob
tain the arsenous acid which make the
goods, since that Ingredient is obtaina
ble from Sweden. Germany or ever
right on the borders of this state-from
Ducktown-in sufficient quantity to
take care of the needs of the state.

CONVENTION
V. H. FAUST
December 6th the Buptpist hosts of
Georgia meet for their 101 session, at
the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta. This
bas been a red letter year for Bap
tists throughout the state. At PoweL
ton in the summer was celebrated the
Centennial of the organization of the
Convention, and from Powelton the
forces move on to Macon where repre
sentatives from the Southern States fe
licitated the State forces upon their
marvelous growth and achievements.
Among the eminent speakers from
abroad were Drs. Brooks of Texas,
and Geo. W. Truitt, M. E. Dodd of
Shreveport, La., W. W. Landrum of
Ky., L. R. Christie of Miss., and a most
of others like T. W. O'Kelly of Rnl-
eigh, N. 0., who came to be at home
with the leaders for a few days.
• It is peculiarly approproate that the
body should have its crowning meeting
in what is the greatest Baptist city in
Ihe world. Every effort to hffve a
great convention is being put forth.
The Tabernacle affords a commodious
meeting place, easily can a speaker
make himself heard and every facility
for the display of books aim! denomina
tional work is offered.
Th<‘ fallowing committees have been
' appointed to make necessary prepara
tions along their particular linos:
Finance —W. H. Major, F. S. Ether
idge and C. W. Binns.
Entertainment —Jno. W. Ham, Ben
B. Padgett, I. M. Sheffield and M. C.

Dr. B. J. W. Graham, formerly ed
itor of the Christian Index and one of
the roost widely known Georgia minis
ters, recently wrote an article for the
Index iu which he had some very per
tinent things to say about the conven
tion not being a deliberative body, and
as a result the committee on program
! has left quite a hit of the time open
for a free for all discussion. This will
it is thought tend to a greater crowd
than usually comes to the convention.
Atlanta is centrally located, roads are
good, autos are plentiful, churches are
i beginning to pay their pastors' expen
ses to the convention. Items of tre
mendous interest to the denomination
J will come and as a result crowds will
; be at the session.
Men’s League At
Baptist Church.
• Tin* Men’s League of the First Bap
tist church was reorganized last Fri
day night. Quite a crowd of male mem
bers of tlit* church was present. Talks
were made hy J. M. Williams, J. W.
McWhorter, bee Fortson, S. F. Maugh
on, Rev. Jesse M. Dodd, and others.
Henry M. Oakley was elected presi
dent, Dr. W. T. Randolph, vice pres
ident, and J. C. Pratt, secretary and
treasurer.
The regular meeting date for the
league was fixed on the second Tuesday
night in each month. Committees were
,appointed to take care of the various
phftses of the organization.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 21,11)22.
Dear Mr. Mack :
Nothing was done in the senate yes
terday except to meet and adjourn out
of respect to the memory of Senator

it will be determined whether or not
Mrs. Felton will be sworn in. She was
the center of attraction yesterday. I
had the pleasure of dining with Sena
tor Harris yesterday at the senate
lunch room. The lunch was given by
Senator and Mrs. Harris to Senator
Felton and Senator and Mrs. George.
No others present except those named
above and Dr. Howard Felton and Sen
ator Hoke Smith and Senator George’s
family, including Mrs. George’s two
brothers and their wives. Many sena
tors and their wives came around to
shake hands witli Mrs. Felton.* I have
met many of them already. I think
I will like my position fine. Send me
the News to 129 Senate office building,
Washington, I). C. Will mail you check.
With kindest regards and best wish

A GOOD SIZED
POTATO, THIS.
We take the following story from
tiie Commerce News whose editor en
dorses it from beginning to end:
Editor Mclntosh, of the Albany News,
and editor Sliopo of the Dalton ( itizon
have been engaged in a “jint spute” as
to which is God’s country north or
south Georgia. They have been sing
ing tiie praise of both sections, each
contending that his section of Geoigia
is the greatest and each offering evi
dence in products grown to estahlsh his
claim. Editor Mclntosh came back at
ghope wiih a talc that lays all the fish
tales we ever heard, even that Jonah
story In the shade. He says:
After quoting onr truthful and alto
get hor simple epistle about the North
Georgia sweet potatoes some of which
resemble men. while others possess the
form and features of a dinosarus tiie
Albany Editor unleashes his imagina
tions, and comes back as follows and
also, to-wit:
Those were not potatoes, neighbor.
Those were nubbins, Real potatoes
onlv grow down here where the soil Is
rich and even the passing brpez.es sum
mon growing things to development ex
traordinary. Twenty penny nails
would look very well as legs for some
of our South Georgia swamp blackber
ries, but when the children make mas
todonic hobby-horses out of sweet po
tatoes, they mount the tubers on feme
posts for legs. ,
Did you ever hear of Sim S.k<> s
sweet potato? Sim claimed the record
for size here in South Georgia, though
his claim has long been challenged by
rivals in half a dozen counties. It was
the year that Sim planted his potato
patch where the horse lot bad been
until the autumn before that he bung
up what he claimed was a sweet
1( , record. After getting out most of
the tubers with crow-bars and sawing
•several healthy specimens into sections
before they could be lifted, Sim says
he struck what be claimed was the
grandaddy of the whole potato tribe.
Briefly, his story is to this effect:
After digging for several days, Sun
and his hired man carried a trench en
tirely around the potato. Bracing it
with two-by four timbers, they dug un
der and sawed off the tap-root, which
was three find in diameter. Resisting
a temptation to use dynamite and save
time, Sim says he built a derrick, rigg
ed a block and tackle to a windlass and
lifted out the big tuber, which left a
hole that would have made a roomy gar-
age for a seven-passenger touring car.
The potato was visited by hundreds of
people during the following week, at
the end of which time lightning set fire
to the stable and it was burned doftn.
••Hut I took a pick an’ harrowed out
that: potater,” Sim declared, “hung a
door on it and put the mule in it till 1
could git time to build another stable.
The mule stayed in there every night
for a week, an’ all the time he was
eatin’ of the walls of his stall, without
me noticin’ it. Finally, be et plum
through, an’ the roof fell in on ’irn and
Smashed ’im flatter’n a postage stamp.
If you don’t Itelieve me, I can show you
the mule I bought to take his place. I
simply had to quit plantin’ sweet po
taters in rich ground, for jes, natcherly
didn’t have room on the place to store
i tiie crop ”

The Winder Mfg Company who now
pays out about $2,000 weekly to its op
eratlves in this city propose* to double
its plant if houses can be secured for
the additional help needed. This will
I
mean work for about 225 more people
in Winder and will add at least six or
seven hundred people to our population.
Every line of business in the city will
feel the .stimulus of this additional
i
payroll.
A mass meeting of the of

of the needed bouses. A large number
of our people responded to this call,
showing that our citizens are deeply
interested in the proposed enterprise.
Mayor Geo. N. Bagwell acted as
chairman and Mr. W. A. Bradley was

out some kind of building and loan
company, and present same to the cit
