FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1020. MR. J. C. MOULTON TAKES CHARGE OF THE HAMILTON JOURNAL With the publication of this issue of the paper the undersigned turns the management of the same over to Sir. ,T. C. Moulton, of Duller, When only a grown boy, about fifteen years ago, Mr. Moulton entered the office of his homo town paper and has ever since been identified with that splen¬ did publication. Mr. C. E. Benns, the propiietor of the Butler Herald, has lnr several years been secretary of the Georgia Press Association and is one of those live wires whose pub¬ lication is such an honor to our Stab*, and while he hates to give him up in these especially strenuous times in the primahops of the country, yet he puts the stamp of approval upon Mr. Moulton’s enterprising determination to become a Harris fountain and issue our local paper. It is the intention to combine the Chipley rind Hamilton publications under one name—The Harris County Journal—and for the present continue them in that form. All accounts due the paper are payable at the office in Hamilton and in the near future rangements will be made at, other points in the county to receive orders for both subscription and advertising For the present I will continue the connection as canvasser of the county for business and news for the paper. After a dozen years as manager of Ihe paper I know much of the pleas¬ ure awaiting me in this mingling with the good people of old Harris, and in retiring from the editorial and office management I know I do not need to ask that the same courtesies bo shown to Mr. Moulton that has been ex tended to me and the members of my family when they may have been here as co-workers with me. 1 close this announcement with a clipping from the Butler Herald mentioning the resignation of Mr. Moulton of his position with that paper: “ Mr. Jus. 0. Moulton, who has been in the employ of the Herald office as foreman of the mechanical department for the past fifteen years tendered his resignation several weeks ago, the.same becoming effective on March 1st. ‘•Ills services has at all times been of the highest order of acceptability, while his personal relationship with the editor and owner of the paper has been most pleasant. It is, therefore, With the sincerest feeling of regret that we see him go at this time. “Mr. Moulton has the ability and qualifications for a successful news¬ paper career, a sea upon which lie intends easting sail in the near future. The Herald wishes him all kinds of good luck and bespeak for the community into which lie launches in¬ to journalism t he hearty support that a man of his ability and progressive ideas deserve.” Very truly yours, G.

Forty Cars Destroyed By Fire Atlanta.—A spectacular blaze at the Excelsior Garage, 444 Whitehall street, ! destroyed the roof and Ulterior fixtures of the building, and ruined or dam¬ aged about forty automobiles stored there, the total less approximating $35,000. Although explosions of the gasoline in tho tanks of the cars were frequent the only casualties were pain¬ ful burns suffered by a negro who was attempting to remove one of the machines. TEAM WORK It is Absolutely Essential for the Farmers, Merchants, Bankers and Manufacturers to Stand Together if We Are to Win the Fight Against the Boil Weevil From the results of our company's experience in operating Oil Mills from Texas to Virginia, we have found that when the Boll Weevil hits a section, Oil Mills remain idle for most a year, tn many cases cease operating altogether. The Oil Mills' interests and the farmers' interest are identical. If our mills are idle it means that the farmer has made a failure with his cotton crop. We are not advi n'g any one to cut out cottcn altogether on account of the Boll Weevil in this section, followed but we - do advise putting at least half of your money crop in peanuts, Peanuts have * the Boll Weevil all the way frem Texas to Georgia, and every one knows their substan¬ tial money value. * The Virginia and North Carolina farmers are giving up peanuts, planting tobacco and cottcn as they do not have to contend with the Bell Weevil and cannot compete witi Georgia in raising pearuts. This decrease in acreage in North Carolina and Virginia indicates that it is going to be almost impossible to have anything above normal produc¬ tion and that the chances are that prices for peanuts will remain high. THREE YEARS AGO THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE SHELLING PLANT IN GEORGIA. THIS COMING SEASON THERE WILL BE AT LEAS TWENTY-FIVE, many of them operated by Virginia and North Carolina shellcrs who are coming to this seetton on account of decreased production in their country. We have had a very mild winter and are now getting reports that Boll Weevil have never gone into winter quarters and is now breeding in frost bitten bolls and other hiding places, so it looks as if he would be ready for the first squares, and these most familiar with the history of the Boll Weevil are predicting that the damage to the cotton crop this coming season v ill be much more severe than the past season. THIS IS OUR STRONG APPEAL TO YOU TO MAKE ROOM FOR A j LARGER PEANUT ACREAGE. REMEMBER, TO DISCREDIT THE BOLL WEEVIL’S ABILITY TO DESTROY YOUR COTTON CROP IS DANGEROUS. There is a great difference in the value of peanuts. The low grades are suitable only for crushing. The best grades, suitable for shelling and supplying the confectionery trade, command the highest prices. Realizing the importance of the we have purchased this year, the best grades the for planting purposes. We have them for sale at our plants and, for the convenience of trade, we propose putting them on sale throughout thi section. Write us for prices and for any information we can give you in regard to planting, cultivation and harvesting J peanuts. We strongly advise the use of fertilizer in raising peanuts. We want our customers and the general public to call cn us fer any information we can give. Our offices arc open to every the farmer. Come ar d let us advise with you for a larger peanut crop. \V , )-| have studied business and you are welcome to any help that wc can give you. THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL CO., COLUMBUS OFFICE. C. M.
