COM. ROBINSON GIVES
VIEWS ON CITY COURT
Carrollton, Ga., Oct. 28, 1018,
To tin* Voters of Carroll County:
The statement of the Clerk of the
Superior and City Courts, as it appear
ed in the papers last week is correct.
1 state as Commissioner of .Roads and
Revenues of the county, that the com*
para tic ve expenses of the two courts
are correctly set out in that statement,
to-wit::
Five sessions of the City Court cost
the count v two thousand, three hundred
and fifty-six (2,30(1.00) dollars and two
sessions’of the Superior Court cost the
county two thousand, fivu hundred and
fifty-six (2,556.00) dollars. From the
City Court for the year 1017 the lium-
of years of labor sent to the chain-
amounted to twenty-one years
lind six months (21 years and 0 months.)
Labor is high. l’i«nrinjr this twenty-
one years and six months at ten dollars
($10.00) per month would amount to
two thousand, five hundred and eighty
($2,.180.00 dollars for one year, which
would more than pay the entire ex
pense of the court for that voar, in -
eluding both civil and criminal busi
ness tried. If you count the labor at
twenty ($20.00) dollars per month, tiie
countv would get more for the labor
than twice the cost of the court for
the year.
Counting this labor at twenty ($20.-
00) dollars per month, which is less
11,an it is really worth, the total in
come to the county, from this labor, is
enough to pay more than the expenses
of both the City Court and the Supe
rior Courts for the year 1017.
The expenses of the courts, *as above
set out, were paid by the undersigned
ns commissioner of the county.
As a further comparison I wish to
state that for tin* October term, 1018,
of the Superior Court, there are ninety
civil eases set for the first week, and
of those eases only throe contested
enses wore disposed of, at the expense
of seven hundred and seventy-eight
($778.00) dollars for pay of jurors and
lmiliffs alone.
As your county commissioner T wish
to say that in my opinon the City
Court of Carrollton is an absolute ne
cessity.
Respectfully,
W. M. ROBINSON,
Counnisioner of Ronds and Revenues of
Carroll County.
ATTENTION, SOUTHERN
COTTON GROWERS
You can either build up a piece of
land or you can allow it to he destroy
ed by in attention.
This appeal comes In you not in the
matter of your land protection, tint an
appeal in regard to the variety of cot
ton seed that you plant. For venrs
past cotton iniils and cotton spinners
have fully known the value of Carroll
county cotton because as a whole it was
the best up-lnrtd cotton grown. The
diameter of your cotton lias made a
great reputation; so why destroy this
reputation. You farmers get busy and
don’t lot it get nwnv from you. This
protection can be attained by the
proper care of your seed selection.
The planting of such varieties as
“King,’ ’or “Half and Half’’ or other
short lint varieties will cause your mar
ket to finally become a common up land
market where you have ntainod a good
“Premium Market” for years past.
, Such seed ns Fleming or Cleveland
HIV* Boll and such other varieties ns
these will build up your market where
it will produce cotton with a fibre of
full inch to inch and one sixteenth.
Thrco years ago 75 per cent or more
it' your coton would go full inch to
inch and one sixteenth staple, now it
will push 50 per cent to go such staple
as you had three years ago.
It \s up to you to keep up the reputa
tion. So get busy and keep what you
have accomplished going on the right
road. A CITIZEN.

in the arms of Jesus.
May you both so live as to meet your
dear little darling where there will be
no more sad partings. We know that
your home will be lonely wit-bout little
Bruce, but God knows best.

A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our borne,
Which never can be filled.
ANNIE DEAN.
t)n October 9th, HI 18, God in His
wisdom saw fit to take from this earth
Mrs. Jlellie Richards (ace McBraver)
wife of F. H. Richards, of Perris, Texas'.
She was married to Mr. P. H. Rich
ards in March, 1900, and they lived hap
pily together until her death.
In our imagination we see the wife
and mother going about tier duties with
a smile. Later we see her on beds of
atllietion. She has conquered that dis
ease, pneumonia, and gone to join the
heavenly choir where sweet songs shall
not cease and the clouds of sorrow
never lower.
She leaves a devoted husband, five
children, Vernon, Walter, Nona, Neva,
and Nora, and many other relatives
nnd friends to mourn her death.
The berenved family have our heart
felt sympathy May they ever be guid
ed by the hand of her God and nnd ever
feel the restrains of a loving wife and
mother, that when dentil summons them
they can go rejoicing nnd meet her in
boa von.
A precious one from them lias gone,
A voice they loved is stilled;
A place is vnennt in their,home,
Which never can he filled.
Weep not, dear husband and children,
live so ns to meet her who will be wait
ing at the parly gates. She, of course,
has gone to the arms of Jesus.
Dear wife and mother, how wo miss
you,
Since you have gone from our sight;
Do you know our hearts arc broken,
Ami our day changed to night?
How we listen for your footsteps,
For your voice so kind and low;
Hut you know our eyes no longer
Shall behold you here below.
She has gone to dwell with Jesus,
Where a robe and eniwn she’ll wear;
lit that house of many mansions,
That her Savior did prepare.
Vos, she's gone, lint not forgotten,
From this world of toil and care;,
Gone to dwell with Christ in glory,
Heaven’s rapture ever to share.
Stic was loyal to her Savior,
Yes, she lived a Christina life;
Now site’s dwelling safe in heaven,
Where there's neither sin or strife.
Ve,s, she’s gone, too late to scatter
Sunshine in her pathway here;
Too late, she's gone where we can
never
Speak to her a word of cheer.
Here on earth no more we’ll see her,
In this world of toil and care;
Hut let’s try, yes, to meet her,
la those heavenly mansions fair.
She has left us sad and lonely,
In this world ot' cruel pain;
Hut beyond this vale of sorrow,
Sunn we hope to meet again.
HER NIECE.
A RECORD BROKEN
Sunday, the 27th inst., was the 45th
anniversary of the organization of the
Carrollton Baptist Association, which
meeting was held in the auditorium of
the old “Carroll Masonic Institute” and
the sermon on Sunday was preached by
Rev. W. N. Chaudoin, of beloved mem
ory, from the short but impressive and
comprehensive text, consisting of only
two words, “My brethren,” Mat. 25:
40. Most of the large audience that
tilled the spacious auditorium on that
occasion have gone from the scenes and
associations of this life, and others are
filling their places in church and so
cioty.
But the record mentioned in our sub
ject refers to a fact concerning weather
conditions noticed and preserved n» a
special observation by the writer,
(a) The day referred to—the 4th
Sunday in October 1874—was a bright,
sunny autumn day, and following for
a number of years, tin* annual meetings
of the Association embraced the 4tli
Sunday in October, and at eneli session
the Sabbath services were uninterrupt
ed by rain or any sort of inclement
weather.
(b) After several years, how
ever, the time of meeting was changed,
and on a few occasions the meetings
were interrupted by rains; lmt the 4th
Sunday in October was taken notice of,
ami left its record of a fair day, with
only one or two exceptions itlion there
was light min, blit not of sufficient
amount to interfere with business or
worship in church capneity, until Inst
Sunday, the 27th inst., when it came
near forbidding the gathering of most,
if not all meetings, in this section of
Georgia. Hence it leaves us a record
of 44 years, during which-the 4th Sun-
d(ty in each October, brought its bless
ing of sunshine, and probably for many
years prior to the date mentioned, but
own personal observation has noted
the fact concerning only the period re
ferred to.
But, turning from the matter of
weather record, we close with a brief
intiee of this Association since its or
organization, October 24th, 1874. There
were seventeen churches, representing a
inmbei'ship of 1363, of which only nine
of the seventeen churches now are mem
bers of tin* Association, the others hav
ing withdrawn to unite with other as
sociations organized since. But not
withstanding these withdrawals, so
great has boon the numerical increase
of tin* Baptists within practically the
same territory, that the Association
now has 32 clinches with a membership
of 5,093, and an increase in the total
of financial report from less than $100
then, to a total nt last session for all
purposes of over $20,000, including mis
sions and all local work. The last ses
sion being held with the Pleasant View
church, where n cordial Welcome and
most excellent entertuinnieiit wore ac
corded to this the 45th annual meet
ing of this still growing body of Chris
tian workers. Let tin* motto be still,
“Onward,” with the echo ringing,
“Praise God from whom all blessings
flow.” W. AV. ROOP. ‘
