ON THE FIFTH SUNDAY.
ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
PUTTING UP THE PRICE.
Zion Hope, a Primitive Baptist
church southwest of Ty Ty, Is
making great preparations for an
“all-day sing" on the fifth Sunday
in October. This affair will be con.
ducted under tho. auspices of the
United Sacred Harp' Association, a
musical body organized in 1904, and
the meeting on the fifth-. Sunday
(October 29th) will be different in
some ways from sings held in Ty
Ty’s vicinity In recent years.
Mr. T. B. Newton will be present
and will assist in the singing. All
his expenses being paid by those
anxious to see and hear him. Mr.
Newton, we are told, has a very
good voice, and, though he is eighty
years old, his ice is as fine and
true as it ever was.
Mr. “Bud” Porter was in Ty Ty
Tuesday, talking up the “sing."
Mr. W. J. Williams and his chil. | .Unless there could be concerted

early Monday morning, have the increase the subscription price, such
COTTON REMAINS KING.
The cotton season, the shortest on
record, is approaching its close.
Ty Ty will have “ginning days," af
ter this week, and that always marks
the beginning of the end. Though
short, the season has been an ex
ceedingly busy one—• lot of work
compressed into comparatively few
weeks.
The majority of farmers seem sat
isfied with results, and there is no
evidence in sight that there will be
less cotton planted next year than
there was this The principal talk
is of defeating the boll weevil. Noth
ing is heard of reducing the acre
age.
Town dwellers and newspapers
may talk of other crops, and make
preparations to handle them, but
among the farmers, there is not
tho slightest Indication that King
Cotton it considering abdicating. In
fact, he teems more firmly establish,
ed than ever, for flfteen-cente-a
pound has gone to the heads of peo
ple; to this generation, it is a thing
unheard of heretofore.
Live the King!
deepest sympathy of all who have
heard of their misfortune. Mr. Wil
liams .was in Macon when the acci
dent Recurred and did not hear .of
the fire until the day after it occurr
ed He reached Ty Ty Tuesday
morning, not knowing whether all
the children had been saved. No
body in Ty Ty knew his address, and
the first intlmition he had of the de
struction of his home came from a
newspaper.
Five of his children were at home,
the oldest a boy of twenty, three
younger boys and a litle girl. One
of the younger boys was awakened
by the heat and smoke, and he called
his oldest brother who was sleeping
with him. Together they roused the
others, and, each grabbing the cloths
taken off the night before, escaped
from the building just in time to save
their lives. The clotheB taken with
them were all that was saved. Mr.
Williams especially deplored the loss
of some family records that cannot
be replaced
Owing to a high wind and extreme
dr nth, the fire at times threatened
to be even more serious. Great coals
and sparks flew over the town, set
ting grass on fire in some places and
menacing houses. It was necessary
to keep a watch until the building
was almost entirely consumed. Fort,
unately for Ty Ty, the house was on
the extreme edge of the town, and,
though tho wind was blowing direct
ly towards other buildings, no furth
er damage was done.
It was about three o’c'ock when
the fire discovered. After the house
was burned and the neighbors had
left, tho older boys remained an
guard to see .hat buildings on the
place did not take fire from the
smouldering coals Willing friends
took charge of the younger children.
The loss is partially covered by in
surance, and Mr. WilHamcs will re
build as soon as possible.
SEVENTY-SIXTH BIRTHDAY
increase is hardly likely to prove
profitable. A daily having a large
circulation in this vicinity—consid
erably larger than that of any oth
er periodical—recently added forty
per cent to the price Immediately,
subscribers began to drop the paper,
and it looks now as if not one would
be left. As the terms of subscrip
tions expire, papers are stopped,' for
there are other papers equally good,
or better, whose price is much lower.
To one who does not claim any
experience in the matter, it seems
that a better plan would be to re
duce the size of the paper—have
fewer pages.
TO HEAR BISHOP CANDLER.
Quite a large party went

Candler in the Methodist church of
Tifton. In this party were Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Thompson and Mrs.
Dowd, Mrs. F. B. Pickett and daugh
ters. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Williams,
Dr. and Mr. Carl Pittman, Min
Myrtievuight and Miss Mattie Joe

paid for the trip. v
A BIRTHDAY FEAST.
Mr. James H. Ford celebrated his
seventy-sixth birthday Wednesday. 1
with children grandchildren and
friemla gathered at the home that
has been his for years. His daughfl
tar, Mrs. C. -W, Graves, was hostess
•n this occasion, and the feast pro
vided—barbecue and numerous oth
er good things—attested her expe.
rienca and skill in the role.
The tenant's house on Mr. Ernest
Gibbs' place, about two miles north
of Ty Ty, was destroyed by fire on
Tuesday. The fire is supposed to
have originated by children playing
on a lot of unginned cotton stored
in the house.
This building was a neat bunga.
low recently built, and its destruc
tion entails considerable loss on Mr.
Gibbs.
THE TY TY SCHOOL.
There is no better proof of
town’s growth and prosperity than
the growth and prosperity of its
schools. Judged by tie standard, Ty
Ty is getting along exceedingly well.
School opened Monday with a far
larger enrollment than it ever had
before, and, v/ith Professor Griner
as principal, there Is every indica
tion of a prosperous year.
Attendance on the day of opening
was so unexpectedly large that it
wae necessary to secure an addi
tional teacher. The choice fell on
Miss Hortense Yarborough, of Tit-
ton. The other assistants are Miss
Knight, Miss Borland and (in the
department of music) Miss Mallory.
Miss Mallory Is a cousin of Miss Joe
Lee Mallory who has taught music
here for the last three years.
Ty Ty’s scoool building, a con.
Crete, two-story structure, com
pares favorably with that of any
town of South Georgia, and, consid.
ering the size of the place, it is an
Incontestable proof of the public-
spirit and generosity of the men
who are Ty Ty’s leading citzcns of
today.

Cslobratod by Judge Ford sad Fam
ily at Ty Ty Wednesday.
Judge J. H. Ford, of Ty Ty, cele
brated his 76th birthday Wednesday.
Although he is six years past the
three-score and ten given to man,
he carries a youthful, vigorous ap
pearance and looks after much of pis
business affaiys.
The home, that is presided over
by his daughter, Mrs. C. W. Graves,
carried that pleasant home-like ap.
pearance that made the guests feel
as if they were in their own domi
cile and free from formalities. That
ante-bellum courtesy and hospitality
predominated in every feature of
the occasion throughout the entire
day.
At the noon hour, a table pre
pared in the grove near the house
was loaded with juicy barbecue,
chicken pie, chicken in other forms,
and in fact every thing good to eat
feasting, we look around and see
the vacant chair of one who cannot
join us on earth any more, but we
can look forward to a more happy
eternal reunion and feasting.
The family, relatives and friends
who were participants and guests of
Judge Ford were: C. W. Graves
and wife, E. M. Ford, wife and chil
dren; James Redmond and children,
of Ty Ty; W. F. Ford and son, W.
F., Jr., of Bridgeboro; W. J. Davis,
wife and daughter, Miss Lula, of
Sylvester; W. S. Scott, T. A. Inman,
J. B. Hollingsworth, T. M. Perry, A.
Parks and L. M. Williams, of Ty Ty;
J. M. Shaw, Col. C. C. Hall, wife and
C. C., Jr., Dr. W. T. Smith and wife,
and J S. Royal and'wife, of Tifton.
Many gifts of a birthday memo-
and to make the most fastidious feel
glad to be a guest on such occasion.
When thanks were returned by Mr.
W. S. Scott the guests began to sat
isfy the appetite and the energy to
unload the table was never better
and stronger, but a failure was in
evidence and defeat was acknowi-
edged.
The association of this occasion
carries with it that neighborly and
brotherly love that exists in one an.
other and serves to remind us and
each of us, that we too have a birth,
day and may not be so fortunate in
the number of years as tho principal

NINETY PER CENT SCARE.
, V Recently a government expert addressed the
Demonstration Agents of the Second and Ele
venth Congressional districts assembled in Tif
ton in annual meeting on the boll weevil and
among other things said that “the boll weevil
isater all ninety per cent bite.”
The Gazette reported th e address fully but
those who have seen fit to read the articles ap
pearing' in the paper seem to hav e skimmed the
surface and found in a column article reporting
k fhm expert's speech nothing except the few
words quoted above.
■ ~ The expert did use the expression quoted, but
he prefaced the remark with a thorough dis-
.camion of the boll weevil’s habits; told of the
avages of the pest where left to perform his
rk unfought; told of the wreck and ruin the
had caused to thousands of farmers and
lesstnen; and he added to his statement
ed that • * * • “unless the weevil is fought
aatically; unless a small acreage is plant-
on; fertilized heavily; the squares
ore each working, then the weevil
one hundred per cent bite.”
entlemin also remarked in the same

covered that th e remark was made to give en
couragemcnt to systematic lighting of the pest
which was exactly what the expert was trying
to do. - • ^r4SBni
There is a world of difference between wha,
the expert said and what some of the newspa
pers have said that he said, because in quoting
a few words the whole meaning of the state
ment of th c gentleman quoted is lost.
The remark in question was the most en
couraging one that has been made in Tifton to
men who have been preparing for the invasion
of the boll weevil for the reason that it assured
them that if they continued to work intelligent
ly against the weevil’s ravages they would be
able to make some cotton, whereas through a
great deal of hearsay evidence they had been
led to believe that even with the hardest of
work they would be compelled to lose all their
efforts to make cotton with the weevils in tho
field.
If the system that the government has found
to be the best, after spending almost half a mil
lion dollars, is carrie d out consistenly by the
planters, then the weevil is what the expert sal
it was: “Ninety per cent scare and ten per cent
bite.” And that system is to cut the acreage to
not more than five acres to the plow; get the
