TJIF PEOPLE’S POPULAR PAPER AND THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CARROLL COUNTY
CARROLLTON, CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA. THURSDAY MARCH 23 1911
The farmer of today enjoys any number of luxuries and
conveniences that were unknown but a few years ago. The
telephone, free rural delivery, better educational facilities
improved farm machinery, all have played a prominent part
in making life on the farm pleasant.
But a bank account, one on which he can draw his
personal checks, is a convenience almost indespensable to
the modern farmer. By means of his check book and check
he is able to keep an accurate on all business transactions.
Such a record is important to the farmer, and the First
National Bank gives special attention to the caring of farm
ers’ accounts With ample capital and convenient banking
facilities we can sere you to your complete satisfaction.

and one of the largest crowds that
! lias ever been present in some time
i for any occasion, was present to greet
| it. The Holloway Band furnished
music, and the reception of the tram
and those in charge was a splendid
one. Hon. H. W. Long welcomed
the visitors in behalf of the City, Col.
C. E. Roop extended a welcom from
the Board of Trade, Hon W. J. Mill-

The talk of President Soule was
j one that was not only greatly enjoyed
j by all those present hut it was one
I of the most instructive and highly in-
| telligent that it has ever been our
pleasure to listen to. In a straight
forward manner, he spoke of the
great amount of good that had al
ready been done by the State Agri
cultural College at Athens, and told
the people wherein lay the greatest
mistakes that were being made in
their crude methods of farming.
Charts showed to those present what
was necessary for all kinds of pro
ducts to he successfully grown. The
analysis of the dirt secured from the
different counties was shown and
proved to be of great interest to the
farmers.
Every car attached to the train
was in charge of experts who gave
to every one any information which
they sought regarding different ex
hibits and the literature which was
carried with splendid instructions
contained in it was distributed to
every one passing through the cars.
With the coming of this train much
good has been done. Seed of the
right kind have been sown, and it
now remains for the formers of this
country to profit by what has been
told and shown them. We are glad
to have had this Agricultural train

Why Pardon Stripling?
Like our contemporary, the
esteemed Rome Tribune, we have
never been . much excited about
pardoning Stripling. What did
Stripling do to cause such a furore
of sympathy to sweep over this
state? The main thing we have
heard is that he got caught. One
of the Virginia papers says that he
killed two other men while living
in Danville. He was accused once
of unmercifully clubbing another
/man whom he was arresting, and
he was known to be a man of viol
ent passions and disposition. And
yet the governor will be expected
to pardon him. Why? Because
some near-crimnoligists of “Atlanta
says that his old crime has been
expatiated. Expatiated? How?
By escaping, which is another crim
inal offense, and by killing two other
men in Virginia and seriously club
bing another? How has the law,
which he was convicted of violat
ing by murdering his neighbor
twenty years ago, been vindicated?
Is it reasonable to suppose that if
the crime had been committed for-
the sole causes set out by Stripling
that a Georgia jury would have con
victed him? Georgia juries do not
often convict ajman for killing anoth
er to protect his home. Really there
is entirely too much maudlin senti
ment in this country. Let the prop
er officers pass on this matter in
the proper way without so many
petitions and so much expiation.—

every way.
The first meeting,
which will appear in next weeks ii-
sue, will be addressed by some of
our leading citizens on some very
vital topics. You can’t afford to be
absent from this meeting.
A movement like this ought to
have and will have the hearty sup
port of every public-spirited, patriot
ic, man and woman in our midst.
It contemplates, first of all, an open
forum wlierin may he discussed in
perfect candor every vital interest
of our community.
Again, its purpose is to bring all
trades, vocations, and occupations
into a harmonons and well-advised
cooperation for the general welfare
and highest development of all our
resources, both in men and things,
The public health, public educa
tion, public morals, the conservation
of childhood, and its development
into the highest types of manhood
and womanhood are the things that
shall chiefly occupy the attention
of this and all subsequent meetings.
At this first meeting; after the
addresses and papers, it is proposed
to effect a permanent organizatio 1
and to enter at once upon tlte work
comtemplated.
Look in next weeks issue of this
paper for date of first meeting.
Boys Corn Club To Be Aided
By way of stimulating interest in
the Boys’ Corn Club movement, the
Central of Georgia railroad, which
traverses 57 counties in Georgia and
21 counties in Alabama, has offered
a prize $25 in every county to the
member of the club who obtains the
greatest yield from a single acre.
In addition to these 78 county
prices, aggregating $1,950, the Cen
tral also ofiers two Suite prizes, one
in Georgia and one in Alabama to
he awarded to the hoy securing the
best yield under the rules governing
the county contests. The State
prizes will be the best mule that can
be bought for $250.
Vice-President W. A. Winburn, of
the Central, recommends that the
prize money be expended for a short
term at the State College'of Agricul
ture at Athens, Ga., or Auburn, Air.
While the farmers of the State
cannot compete for these prizes,
there is no reason why the Boys,
Corn Club should not get after the
prizes offered.
Twenty-five by the FairAssociation,
ten dollars by J. T. Bradley. These
are to be given as follows; First
prize twenty-five, second twenty,
third ten, fourth five. In addition
to these E. T. Jackson offers a pair
of Plymouth Reck chickens. The
general prizes for the State aie, At
lanta Corn show $750, State Fair
$500, H. G. Hasting $50, and the
Central railroad a $250 mule, the
Banker’s Association $100.
A number of boys havng joined the
Club but we are anxious that as
many more join as will.

Value in Clothes is best measured by the
way they hold their shape and the length of
time they wear satisfactorily.
Shape that is pressed in with an iron is
never permanent, the first weeks wear knocks
it out. In OUR clothes the shape is taUored
in while the suit is being made and is perma
nent, it lasts as long as the garment holds
together.
That combined with the high quality of
the material used is why OUR clothes are
cuch fine values. They are without except
ion the best garments that you can buy. for
