Hear nmi,
In discharging the g nu i j'P'y

had the poorest and most incon-

cial circuit. too true to be ap¬

Mr W L Johnson, president of

good work that the farmers of the

Not only the last grand jury

pride whatever realize the condi-
tion we are in as to public build¬

I of the county together. The lion
i dins L Bartlett has accepted an
invitation to be with iih on that
day and make an address touch-
ing tha importance of reducing
thr cotton acreage. 7t inav
I argued-that Bartlett, not being a
farmer, is poorly equipped to ad-
I vise those engaged in agricultural
pursuits, but it will also he
meinhered that lie is not coming
to endeavor toon lighted peopleas
how to farm, hut simply to point
out the dangers of another large
cotton crop, and tlio importance
of organising as a means of pre-
venting same. It is not intended
that this organization is ^only
for a month or two or even for a
year, but its purpose is to hold to-
gather until the farmers can get
in position to defy the speculator
and all others whojivo and grow
fat upon tho proceeds of the far¬
mer’s labors. Let the people
of tliT* county come out and greet
Mr Bartlett witn a large and en¬
thusiastic crowd. It is for your
good that lie is coming and the
man who refuses to receive infer-
inution that tends to his own pro¬
gress is a strangs compound.

Col Ion planting is the order of
the day. Mr A L Harris has fin¬
ished planting. lie has reduced
his acreage considerably, We
noticed as Ire brought Iris impli-
ments from the field that in the
wagon load was a pea dropper. It
is believed that lie used it for a
cotton planter, for farmers are
plantihg all they can. This is
not exactly true about all of our
planters, Sima have reduced
their acreage more than half. Mr
Bragg will plant only six or seven
acres, others have reduced but,
not quite so much.

a good one, several cars will be

Clinton ys Macon
The Clinton Base bull team
played their first game of the sea¬
son on the home diamond last Sat-
nrday with an aggregation (torn
Macon. In many respects the
game was an interesting one,
though the fact was soon appar-
ent that the Alaeon boys were
cltarly out matched. Clinton won
the game in a walk by a score of
15 to 2.
The Clinton team for lliis year
is a fust one and with a little
strengthening will be in a condi¬
tion to successfully cope with any
team of surrounding counties.
The Macon team was composed
of gentlemanly players and there
was no hitch or unpleasantness
cl tiring the entire game.
Tiie clt»I met a few days later
and completed their oiganizution
by electing R 11 Kingman, Jr.,
manager and I’rof Ralph Chiles
captain.
Thus the team gets ail encour¬
aging .start, and as every indica¬
tion points to fast and winning
bull this summer, the boys should
Ini given encouragement by all
loveisef the national game.
