HAMILTON, HARRIS COUNTY, GA. FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 1906
HOLD COTTON
SAYS JO H SON
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.—The real
worth of good cotton is a question that
is just now involved in so much grave
doubt, that the Southern Cotton As 1
-
sociation is redoubling its efforts in
the matter of urging farmers every¬
where to hold their crops until it can
he determined^ just how high it is
really going.
“The advantage Is all on the side
of the man with the cotton,” said
President M. L. Johnson, of the Geor¬
gia dission, Southern Cotton Asm-na¬
tion, in discussing the matter today,
“because the elements which have
created this uncertainty are those
whose only tendency and result can
be to increase the price.
“There has been untold damage to
the cotton crop in practically alt of
the cotton states as the result of recent
storms rains and frost. The extent
of this damage lias not by any means
been fully determined, and cannot be
until the crop is all picked. And un¬
til that time it will he impossible to
tell the real worth of good cotton.
“Already these conditions have had
their effect on the market, and 11
cent cotton lias been reached. Rut
this is not all; the effect will he still
more far-reaching, and Itliere is no
doubt that the price will go higher.
“Under these circumstances there is
but one thing for the farmer to do.
He should hold his cotton until the
is Weired and the doubt removed,
for the advantage is all on li is side.
And it is the duty of the warehouse¬
men, the hanker, the merchant and
all who are alike interested in the
success of tlie farmer, to get back of
him and aid him m holding his cot¬
ton until the true value of it is known.
“There is no doubt about the fact
that thousands of hales of cotton have
been destroyed. The elements have
eo-operated with us, and you may
count upon it, the price will continue
to go up.”
Buffet Luncheon

Mrs. \V. M. Jenkins entertained at
a buffet luncheon today in honor of
her sifter, Mrs. J. J! Hadley, of Ham¬
ilton, Ga.

HOW 1
RETAIL MAIL
ORDER HOUSES
Shout from thi house tops for a so
lution of the retell mail order prob
Ism, and baek w ill ooine an answer¬
ing ahorus of “advertise.”
Seek out those who join in that an¬
swer and with few exceptions you find
them advertising men, all more or
less skilled in the preparation of
printed matter, which alone is what
they have in mint! when they exalt
advertising as thelonc sole means of
solving almost every problem that
confronts the retail"! of today,
While advertising' » indeed the
weapon with which you can make
your community worthless for the re¬
tail mail order houses, it must he the
advertising of which printed matter is
an incident instead of the whole thing.
In advertising there are three im¬
portant steps—getting ready to in¬
vite the people in, making yourself
sure they* will leave satisfied and dis¬
posed to conic again-;—inviting them
in.
Though you may have brought
your store to the highest point of effi¬
ciency in accomplishing immediate
sales, remember that you must have
come again ttode to lie- increasingly
successful and, filujly, before you do
invite them to enter, make sure that
people will leave yNur store satisfied
and disposed to conic again.
Another very important thing is
confidence. The basis of all perma¬
nent mercantile success is confidence.
Note the extremes to which the retail’
ilmii order houses arc willing to go
ill order to establish their customers’
confidence in them.
To compote with those houses you
must lie at; least equally willing te
convince your customers that you are
in earnest in every statement you
make.
There is probably no single prae
tiee that will go farther in developing
confidence in your store than that of
returning the money aud taking hack
the goixls any time that any customer
is dissatisfied—cheerfully and without
argument.
l^seems an impossibility to build
up a successful retail mail order house
without this practice anil it is one of
the main roots of the great successes
in retail merchandising all over the
country.
We have a beautiful line of Fall
and Winter Hats, Ribbons, Silks and
Velvets. Be sure and see our line.—
Misses Prichard.

REV. SAM JONES
DIES SUDDENLY
Rev. Bam. P. Jones, the noted
evangelist, deaifin of Georgia, was found
a Pullman berth on a train
near Little Rock, Ark., Monday
morning. He was found bv Mix
Jones, who was accompanying him
home from Oklahoma.
Mr. Jones concluded a lecturing
tour in Oklahoma and Indian 'Terri¬
tory fitmday and was on his way
Inane, intending to go by Louisville,
Ky. lie was traveling ou the Choc¬
taw division of the Rook Island from
Oklahoma City to Little Rock, where
he expected to ehaiiac for Louisville.
Mr*. Join** was awakened at p errv
and thereupon called her husband in
order that they would have time to
prepare to alight at Little Rock,
which was lmt about twenty miles
distant. She was horror-stricken to
find her husband cold in death. She
at once gave the alarm, and it was
found that Mr. Jones had been dead
tor some time. This was about 4
o’clock.
It is probable that death came to
Mr. Jones unexpectedly, as lie had
not been complaining of ill health.
Upon retiring lie seemed in his usual
good condition. It is thought that
his demise was due to a sudden attack
heart failure, which probably came
upon him in his sleep’. .
Tuesday would have been Mr.
fifty-ninth birthday, and ex¬
preparations had been made
celebrate it,
To hi* family and friends no one
was more devoted than Sam Jones.
He was an affectionate husband,
maintaining those sentimentalities
that began with courtship, and which
made his life after conversion, one of
almost complete martial bliss. His
wife, who survives him, who was a
Kentucky girl, was helpmate through¬
life, and the two remained sweet
heart# to the last.
Mr. Jones was reared in the com¬
munity of Cartersvillc excepting brief
sojourns in other places has made it
his home throughout his life, and no
phase of his interesting career has es¬
caped the people of this coiiimunitv,
who have grieved over his failures
and who have rejoiced in his success¬
es and extensive fame.
Mr. Jones was a prominent man h t
the life of Cartersvillc. He had
much pride in his native town and
took a deep interest in all that per¬
tained to its welfare. Tic was a di¬
rector of the First National hank in
which ho was also a stockholder, and
held a considerable real estate in the
town and county. His estate will
probably aggregate $100,000.
He eared very little for wealth,
taking greater joy in giving and do¬
ing good for humanity. His pocket
was ever open to the needy, and scores
of charitable movements remain as
testimony to hi# generosity.
Mr. Jones was a great believer in
life insurance, and carried on Iffs own
life policies aggrcgaling’Sibo'at $50,
000 .
Sam Porter Jones was horn in
Chambers county, Ala., Oct,, 16,
1847. He was the soil ofGapt. John !
Jones, a brave confederate soldier, i
who fought through the Civil war
with distinction.
The body of this noted evangelist
was taken to Atlanta yesterday Where
it will lie in state at the capital today,
Friday, where thousands of friends
may hare a last chance to look upon
his features, after which his body will
Ik: placcd in a receiving vault in At¬
