CHERO-COLA PLANT MOVES TO SECOND ST The Jackson Chero-Cola Bot tling Company has just moved into its new brick building on Second street. Some substantial improvements have recently been made by this company, consist ing of the installation of modern machinery for bottling their pro duct. The plant is now one of the most sanitary and up-to-date in this section. The company will feature and push Chero-Cola but will also manj ufacture soda waters and ginger ale. In some parts of the country Chero-Cola is a very popular drink and the installation of new machinery that means a cleaner and more sanitary product will doubtless serve to increase the local sales. This company uses an auto truck for delivering its goods, and in that way is able to get to all its customers in quick time and can cover much territory in a days run. MRS. W. D.

CIVIC LEAGUE TO MEET SATURDAY AFTERNOON There will be a meeting of the Civic League Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock in the court house. Business of importance will be considered and a full attendance of the members is urged. How’s Your County Fair, Once again we urge the im portance of the county fair. “Why a fair?” someone asks. Oh, well, why an effort for the good of the county or state? For though the fairs, both county and state, are for the most part organized as private organiza tions, they generally represent praiseworthy patriotism on the part of the backers, and too of ten their reward is only the privilege of going down into their pockets to meet some de ficiency occasioned, in part per haps, by your failure to make an exhibit or attend. The answer in brief as to why you should have a fair is, for the public good—for giving individuals new ideals and for stimulating com munity pride. But these fairs are social or ganizations as well, and so help ful in this respect that it is ques tionable whether in any other way they serve so large a pur pose. Bringing together the rep resentatives of everv township at some central place like the county seat leads the people to know one another, a knowledge as powerful with the community as the “know thyself” with the individual. They are likewise educational. The average fair, county or state has something for the visitor who goes with his eyes open and mind alert. Moreover, our fairs are putting larger stress on these education al features each year. The mid way is lessening, the gambling devices and those who play there are on the decrease, and the drinking places have gone or are going. This new order of things means much for the larger fairs, but more for the smaller ones, which have suffered from the false impression that special at tractions beyond their financial reach were necessary to their success. Numerous most suc cessful county fairs were held last year with their agricultural, educational, and livestock exhib its for their sole drawing cards. If your county isn’t in line with the progressive counties with fairs, why not you and your neighbors get busy at once? By a little determined effort on the part of all classes, you may have a fair yet —may at least make a good start in 1914, and do better next year. —The Progressive Farmer. 700 loaves Uncle Sam Bread received 3rd and 4th.

SAYS SLATON NOT TO BLAME FOR TAX LAW Editor Progress: I learn there is a feeling among some of the citizens of Butts county concern ing the equalization tax law, which I think is an unjust law myself. But Ido not think Gov ernor Slaton should be blamed or held responsible for the enact ment of such a law. Of course he signed the bill af ter having been passed by the legislature, as any other governor would have done. Now who is the first man to introduce such a bill in the Geor gia legislature? Mr. Hardwick did in 1899 and 1900. At that time the bill was defeated. Then Mr. Wallace Miller, who is Mr. Felder’s campaign manager, in troduced the bill in 1913, which was passed. Now Mr. Editor and the people of Butts, who is responsible for the present act, Governor Slaton, Tom Hardwick or Mr. Felder? And who is responsible today for Georgia not having or owning that great Terminal Station in Atlanta? Joe Hid Hall, Tom Hardwick and Felder. This was the greatest loss that ever con fronted the state of Georgia and an opportunity she will never have again. A. F. White. Car Watermelons fresh. Paul Nolen & Cos. July 3rd and 4th.
