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. K. Stout.

Forty Cars Destroyed By Fire

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

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 , )-|
