Report of Finance Committee.
Lake City, Fla.,
Nov. 14, 1907.
We, the Committee on Finance,
beg leave to submit the follow
ing resolutions:
Be it resolved, That we, the
members of the Farmers’ Union
of the Sea Island Cotton Belt of
Georgia and Florida, put our
cotton in our warehouses or other
places that are insured, and take
the receipts of same to our credi
tors for their protection, with a
contract from said creditors that
the cotton be held in same houses
subject to sale only at the mini
mum price set by the Union.
Be it further resolved, That a
copy of these resolution be spread
on our minutes, and a copy be
sent to the Union News and
Jasper News for publication.
Respectfully submitted by com
mittee.
A motion was then made, and
adopted, that when a member of
the Farmers’ Union tendered his
cotton receipt to a merchant or
bank to secure his indebtedness,
under the terms of the above re
port, and it was refused, that
such refusal be reported to the
Local President, who must ap
point a committee of not less than
two influential citizens to wait
on such merchant or bank. Should
a refusal still be insisted on, then
the matter should be reported to
the President of the County Un
ion, who must appoint a like
committee to wait on them, and
notify the merchant or bank that
unless they give the accommo
dation requested, no member of
the Farmers’ Union would trade
with them in future, it being un
derstood that the minimum price
fixed by the Unicn for Sea Island
cotton must be maintained.
“King of the Cattle Ring.’’
With the appearance at the
school auditorium next Monday
evening, November 25th, of
“Eiler’s King of the Cattle Ring”
Douglas theatre loving people
have a treat in store for them.
The fine concert Brass Band and
the Indians are a special feature
of the production. Of the play
an exchange says:
W. A. Eiler’s big production,
“The King of the Cattle Ring,”
pleased a large audience at the
Grand Opera House last night
and kept them in an uproar of
laughter, It is a western drama
representing western life in the
palmy cowboys’ days, when the
Indians were ready for an up
rising at any time. The scenery
is all new, made especially for
this show and is very beautiful
and truly representative of the
west. The play is well written,
well staged and is calculated to
give satisfaction to its audiences.
They deserve a good house wher
ever they go.
Advance sale of seats on at
the drug stores.

The Douglas Cycle and Novelty
Shop is prepared to do anything
in their line on short notice.
They have installed a gasolene
engine that will enable them to
do more and heavier work than
heretofore.
Douglas, Ga., November 23rd, 1907.
Big Fire.
The Douglas Foundry and Ma
chine Shops burned last Tuesday
night at two o’clock. The origin
of the fire is unknown and the
building was well burned dow T n
before it was discovered. There
was thirty five hundred dollars
insurance and fully ten thousand
dollars worth of machinery and
tools.
This loss comes at a time when
it will hit not only the owners
but the town hard. The D. A.
& G. Railroad has been getting
a lot of work turned out here
and it will discommode them for
the time being to a certain ex
tent. There were a number of
large jobs finished and about
finished that would have netted
quite a nice sum to the shops.
Work will begin at once to re
build, and it will only be a few
days before the shops will be able
to accommodate their customers
and friends.
The plant was owned by Mr.
J. M. Jardine and his sons, J. ?.
and Willie. They had intended
to begin soon the erection of a
very large and modern shop but
were not ready and owing to
conditions will not be able to do
this work now, but will erect
temporary shops for immediat
demand.
When U think of “IT ’
think of Markey’s big cie=
partment store.
Are You Ready?
To cook your Thanksgiving and
Christmas cakes. If so, you
will need Cranberries, Raisins,
Currants, Citron, Dates, Walnuts,
Brazils, Almonds, Figs and
Price’s Cerely Flakes, Cream of
Wheat, and Oat Meal.

Certificates Good as Gold,
Owing to the fact that currency is scarce at this time and the
banks composing the Douglas Clearing House Association have
issued certificates in order to place them in circulation to relieve
the money situation, we, the undersigned merchants and business
men of Douglas, desire to endorse the action of said Douglas Clear
ing House Association.
We consider these certificates as gilt edge—the same as cur
rency and they will be accepted by us as money in the regular
course of business. This 13th day of November 1907.

U can’t walk away from
the fact that Markey sells
for less
Fire-wood in Douglas is a costly
necessity, and the manner in
which it is sold and delivered
will, before many years, compell
the exclusive use of coal. We
believe coal now at $7,00 per ton
is cheaper than poor, sobby,
sappy wood at $2,00 per load,
about ane-third of a cord, or $6,00
per cord.
SI.OO per Annum
The Leader Saie No Fake.
The big sale at the Leader
Store continues, and although
hundreds of satisfied customers
were there last week several
thousand dollar’s worth of goods
remain to be sold. They must
go. Mr. Leader says this is NO
fake, but he means just what
he says, and that is, that he has
other business interests which
claim his attention, and in which
there is more money.
Have U seen “IT.”
