California is a national Democrat ic hero. Wall Street died hard—but is mighty dead. Wilson and Democracy—that’s all —and enough. Try giving your home town a boost and it will boost you. Let off steam and giv<* a rousing cheer for Woodrow Wilson. Help those who help you—in other words, patronize home institutions. The one-gall us voters of the South and West sire on top for four more years. A large cotton crop next year is just as sure as President Wilson’s election. Georgia was right there with the lick in giving Wilson a tremendous majority. The news was slow in coming in, hut it was so darn Democratic when it did trickle through. The voters showed that they fa vor Wilson, Peace, Progress, Pros perity and Preparedness. Democrats throughout the coun trycan celebrate Thanksgiving this year with grateful hearts. Houston county pulled down first prize of SI,OOO at the State Fair. Houston deserved to win. This is exactly the right time to begin working for the 1917 session of the Butts County Fair. New York, Pennsylvania, Massa chusetts and Illinois have lost their cunning in electing a president. The election over, now get busy working for your home community. That pays better than elections. If you arc not trading with home merchants you are missing a lot of bargains and failing to do your plain duty. Hughes refused to congratulate W ilson, which is convincing proof that Hughes isn’t big enough to be president. Twenty-four states, half of the to tal number in the Union, are now dry. Prohibition is marching right along these days. The strike in Atlanta seems to be a right sore spot. It is about the toughest proposition the Atlanta Spirit has ever been up against. Several papers did a considerable bit of lying about printing the "first news” of Wilson’s election. But un the circumstances they are excus able. What we call rolling in wealth is to be able to own a few bales of Sea Island cotton. The Bulloch Times notes the fact that three bales of cotton, together with the seed, were sold in Statesboro for $1106.98. $316 and $319, respectively. Can you beat it? Sea Island cotton is now 50 cents per pound. The South and West is anew po litical dynasty that will have to be reckoned with in future years. They saved the day for Democracy this year. The spaed limit ought to be en forced in the city of Jackson three hundred and sixty-five days in ■ the year. This is a town ordinance that should be observed. The Republican-Progressive tick et didn’t get up much steam in Georgia this year. Mr. Dorsey was given a majority that ought to make him feel mighty good. Butts county again made a fine showing at the State Fair. The old county is coming to the front in an agricultural way. Now for the great 1917 Butts County Fair. Loyal Democrats and public spir ited Georgians contributed about $25,000 to the Wilson campaign fund. Georgians are never behind in doing their duty by the party. Roscoe Pickett, Republican can didate for governor, can sympathize with Hughes. Hugh Dorsey was given an overwhelming vote for governor. Both Pickett and Hughes also ran. Georgia Products Day will be very generally observed throughout the state this year. If somebody will be kind enough to bring a basket of products we will take care of the rest. President Wilson’s popular vote, more than eight million, is the larg est ever given a president of the United Stoates. The women voters of twelve states helped to swell his majority. The attendance at the State Fair was approximately 145,000, the largest in the history of the fair. The Macon Fair is undoubtedly a paying proposition. Announcement has just been made that the earn ings of the Southeastern Fair in At lanta were about $25,000. This is encouraging and shows that the Butts County Fair can be made a popular success. The movement to build a feed mill in Jackson should meet with general encouragement and sup port. The farmers of Middle Georgia are threatened with an in vasion of the boll weevil next sea son, but before corn, oats, wheat, peanuts, sorghum and similar crops can be raised successfully there must be a cash market provided for these crops. A feed mill will go a long way towards solving this prob lem. HOW TO BORROW MONEY THROUGH A FEDERAL FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION 1. Ten or more farmers wanting loans must organize the association. 2.

For adults and children. SOc. &AK|H6 POWDER Absolutely Pure Made from Cream of Tartar NO ALUM-NO PHOSPHATE The high price of cotton is not an unmixed blessing. Everything else is going out of sight and cotton is not really high in proportion to the high cost of living. Prohibition may prohibit but it hasn’t taken the shine out of moonshine. “They do more than please your taste — That’s why Chesterfields are like a good cup of coffee—they taste fine and, in addition, they satisfy / But, besides letting you know you’ve been smoking, Chesterfields are MILD, too!
