Whereas, we, toe citizens of Harris

Hold Your Cotton.
\r
_
In our humble opinion it is the
highth of folly for the farmer to haul
his cotton to market and sell it at
prevailing prices.
j h : short crop last year caused the
price to leap skyward lato in the win¬
ter and early this spring, and toe
present crop, in all probability, is
shorter than last, therefore, the price
is obliged to go up. Hold your cot¬
ton, ’til the price reaches the “teens.”
Notice
I will be in Chipley to do Dental
work Monday and Tuesday next
week. B, Ii. McLauoiii.in,

COTTON DAY
AT STATE FAIR
Atlanta, Ga., October 10.—Tho
division, particularly of the
Cotton Association, is tak¬
a deep and active interest in “Cot
Day" at the State Fair in Atlan¬
which will be Wedaenday, Oct
17. President M. I* Johnson, of the
Georgia division, calls attention to toe
fact that this will be a day of interest
and importance to every cotton grow¬
er in Georgia.
The speakers on that occasion will
Hon. Harvie Jenin 1 , president of
the Southern Cotton A »»«*•! atom; Hou
S. A Witherspoon, of Miss., and Hon
E, D. Smith, of K uth Carolina.
These gentlemen have traveled over
entire cotton bolt, and they are in
position to show why and how
higher prices will be secured by hold¬
ing cottou. They advise that large
greoted them everywhere lari;
week, At Jackson, Miss., $116,BOO
was subscribed to the ware housing
“Let me urge upon county officers
in every county," President Johnson
today, ‘to bold rallies at once
arrange to have .in Atlanta the
largest and best possible representa¬
The railroads have given very
low rate* for that day, and the matter
expense will be small. Let farmer*
merchants and banker*. Let busi¬
ness men of all classes attend tin's im
meeting."
President Johnson further calls at¬
tention to the fact that it is impossible
at present to determine the true value
good cotton.
“Nearly a third of the crop is not
yet fully open. There is no tolling
what has been the extent of the storm
damage, and tho injury to the crop
other cause* In fact, every in¬
dication points to the fact that prices
will go way up before spring. Look
out for rumor* but «ome to Atlanta
on October 17 and hear the truth..
It will do you-good.";,
Barnum & Bailey
Going to Columbus
Among the notahlo trained animal
displays that will be seen with the big
Barnuin & Bailey show when it ex¬
hibits in Coiambus Oot. 25, are sev¬
eral that are quite new to this country,
and which are said to he a revelation
in the line of intelligent animal edu¬
cation. The list embraces Thompson’s
horses, which, both in harness and at
lilHsrty, give a performance that sets a
new standard for the displays of this
character; Mile. Lordy’s dog* a com¬
pany of canine actors that are said to
display most extraordinary intelli¬
gence; Winston’* sea-lions, which
climb ladders turn summersaults and
perform many other unusual feats;
the Dohlado troupe of trained sheep.
These interesting animal displays,
it is announced, are interspersed thro’
a program that is notably replete with
new things in acrobatic, equestrian
and raid air performances. The circus
company includes three hundred ar
tiris from all parts of the world, and
program shows a hundred acts of va¬
rious kinds. In one aerial number,
in which the Viennese and Steves
troupes of mid-air vaulters participate,
there are twenty gymnasts in the air
at one time. In a big acrobatic num¬
ber, dominated by the Florenz and
Gruuatho troupes, an equal number
of performers simultaneously appear
in a series of douhje and tripple som
mcrsaults and lofty pyramids. In one
equestrian number, twelve horsemen
and horsewomen appear at one time.
As though these features were not
sufficient to rivet public attention, the
management announces a new alle¬
gorical spectacle entitled “Peace,”
founded on the Kcgso-Japanese war; a
revival of the old Roman hippodrome
on a tremendious scale; a greatl aug¬
mented menagerie and several thrill¬
ers of a most astonishing character
In one, a courageous American girl
flies forty feet through the air in an
inverted automobile; and in another,
two daring bicyclists turn somersaults
in mid-air while soaring in space on
their wheel*
Special excursion rates will be in
effect from' this point to the big show.

1 , next, for failure to comply with tho
act of the lari general assembly, re¬
quiring them to register with the sec¬
retary of state for which the law
charges a fee of only $ 1 .
There appears to be a disposition
on the part of some corporations to ig¬
nore the law, not a few thinking,
doubtles* that they will pass unno¬
ticed. Attention has been called to
the fact that, however, that there is a
legal record of every Georgia corpo¬
ration in the office of toe clerk *of the
court, and it may be put down that
none of them will eseapa
Although the law Iras been of force
for two month* and only three weeks
remain in which to comply with its
term* less than 1,000 out of some
15,000 to 20,000 corporations doing
business in Georgia have registered.
The small corporations are responding
moro freely than those of the larger
proportions, hut none of them are giv¬
ing heed to the new law with that
promptness which will be necessary if
they are generally to comply with it
by the required time, November 1,
Under this law every corporation
doing business within the state, wheth¬
er foreign corporation or working un
k a Georgia charter, is required to
comply with the terms of this regis¬
tration act by Nov. 1 , Secretary of
State, Philip Cook, has already sent
out thousands of copies of the law and
