LOWER MEAT SAYS
SECRETARY WILSON
Washington. Lower prices
for meats and other foods should
be the result of the bumper crops
which the United States has pro
duced this year, in the opinion
of Secretary of Agriculture Wil
son.
“We have had bumper crops,”
he said, “and meat prices should
come down; that is, if no com
bine is formed among the deal
ers. My views apply to all
kinds of meat. The crops have
been such that a falling price is
the inevitable result.
“The only thing that cm de
feat this will be the taking of
too great a toll after the products
leave the hands of the farmers
and before they reach the con
sumers.”
CARD OF THANKS
We take this method of thank
ing our many friends for their
unceasing kindness during the
illness of our father and hus
band. We do especially thank
the Odd Fellows and Dr. Parsun,
for their continued efforts to
help.
May the poid Lord bless each
one is our prayers.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
EXONERATES HOKE SMITH
The Atlanta Georigan of Satui
day afternoon devotes its entirs
front page to a discussion of the
charges recently made against
Governor elect Hoke Smith in
Thomas E. Watson’s Jefferson
ian. Mr. Watson, it says, has
charged various and sundry im
moralities to Mr. Smith and the
Georgian prints a letter from Mr.
Watson in which he asked that
paper to take up the matter with
him. joining him “in the tight 1
am making against Hoke Smith”
Without going into the details
of the charges made by Mr. Wat
son, the Georgian takes up each
specific case and states that it
has given each a thorough inves
tigation, going direct to the par
ties Mr. Watson names as wit
nesses ani in many instances
dtiig detective work, and it
conclusion after summing up all
the aspects of the case may be
found in the following para
graphs quoted from its article:
“It is unbelievable to us that
Mr. Watson could have made so
grave charges without any tan
gible evidence, and solely upon
hearsay,but such seems to be the
case.
“The Georgian is compelled to
say, however, that not the first
suggestion of a foundation in
iact has been obtainable and
that, after the employment of
the best talent, detective, legal
and otherwise, even giving his
political enemies every opportu
nity to supply facts or evidence,
we must say unequivocally, in
the interest of a square deal,
that Hoke Smith is as innocent
of misconduct, moral, or other
wise, as any man in Georgia, at
least, since the years of his pub
lic life, and we doubt if there is
a man in the state who is inter
ested beyond that at this time.”

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Tribute of love and resolutions
by Cokesbury church and Sun
day school on tne death of our
beloved brother Mr. Olion Clin
ton Adams.
He was a faithful member of
this church for some time, and
since his departure he has been
greatly missed by both the
church and Sunday school. But
God saw fit to take him from
this world of pain, sorrow and
suffering to a brighter home he
had prepared for him.
Therefore be it resolved:
1. That in the death of our
beloved brother our Sunday
school and community have lost
one of its most worthy members,
one whom we will ever hold in
loving membrance, for this com
munity has never possessed a
truer or nobler gentleman. As
a friend he was always true, a
nelptr ready and willing. He
was self same and ordedy at all
times.
2. That his lite work as a
xoung man was cheerful and
bright, with Christian happi
ness, and has been a spiritual
uplift to.his community.
3. That while we cannot see
God’s purpose in taking our be
loved brother from uh, we will
unite our prayers to God that we
mly meet him in a brighter
ho ne. So we bow in humble
obedience to his will for we
know he never errs.
4. Tnat we extend our most
profound sympathy to the be
reaved family and relatives.
5. That a copy of these reso
lutions be handed to the family
also placed on the “Church and
Sunday School Minutes,” pub
lished in The Hartwell Sun and
Elberton Star.
L. M. Cunningham,
Geo. S. Shiflet,
Walter Brown,
