THE EFFICIENCY
OF JUDGE ROOP
Coweta circuit of superior court may
congratulate itself upon having such an
efficient, able, lovable presiding officer'
as Judge C. E. Roop. Carrollton and
Carroll county are to be congratula
ted heartily upon having contributed to
their already fine reputation by sending
Judge Roop into other counties through
out the circuit, for Judge Roop certainly
has won a warm place in the hearts of
all the people. It is doubtful whether
any superior court judge or other pub
lic official ever has been blessed with
. more univorBal respect and confidence
than that which is felt for Judge Roop
in Troup county, nnd, we dare say, in
various other oounties of the circuit.
As an indication of the efficiency of
Judge Roop, the July term of court here
went liko clockwork. The first wook’E
business was finished in throe days and
the second weok brought similnr swift
results in the transaction of court mat
ters. It was a performance tho effi
ciency of which has not been excelled
in thirty years—and Cowota circuit has
had some of the best judges in the
South during that period! It may be
said further that tiro nffairs of Troup
superior court are in as good, if not
better, condition than they have been
before within that period.
To know Judge Roop is to admire his
appropriate dignity; to observe him
upon the bench is to respect his high
ability; to associate with him, even for
a passing moment, is for every good
citizen, whether rich or poor, to love
him. That is the kind of judiciary
which forms the most vital part of a
good government.—LaGrange Reporter.

Pioneer Citizens Back in
Carroll County Again
Mr. H. A. Yeager nnd wife, of Crock
ett, Texas, who have once made Car
roll county thoir home, but for the last
twenty-five years have lived in Toxas.
returned back to their native county
last Wednesday, August 15th, to visit
his brother, Mr. W. J. Yenger nnd fam
ily, nnd his sisters who still live in this
county.
They came through the country in an
automobile and were accompanied by
Messrs, Loo Williams nnd Bon Crockett,
both of Crockett, Texas. They were on
the road six and one-half days, landing
n! Mr. W. J. Yeager’s August 15th.
They stood the trip fine, considering
• their ages—he being 78 nnd his wife
almost ns old. He says ho never ex
pects to cross the Mississippi, river
again nftor he getB home, though he
mav live to visit again in Georgia.
He visited here about twolve years ago.
this being his second visit since moving
to Texps.
Mr. Ernest Yeager, who has been
with the Southern r&ilroafT^or fourteen
vegrs, came out with his wife and little
son ,Wilbur, from Birmingham to visit
his parents, Mr. W. J. Yongor and fam
ily, and happened to meet his uncle
unexpectedly, which made each of their
visits more pleasnnt.
FIRST-BOLL NEW COTTON
The first open boll of the 1923 crop
of cotton biQiikht. to The Free Press of
fiee was brought in Wednesday. It
came off tho farm of Mr. AV. L. Folds,
which is situated on the Tyus road
The entire crop is said to be extra fine,
some saving that it is the best fruited
erop they have seen.
It is good news to hear of the fine
crops in Carroll, which arc said to be
about the finest of any in the state.
Turnip srod in bulk. Fresh lot iust
received. Rutabagas should be sown
now.-Jackson’s 10c Store, “whero voui
dimes have more cents.”
Last Sunday night Evangelist C. L.
Organ, who has been holding n camp
meeting at Bethany church, near Sand
Hill, was a victim of the hooded terror
Tho meetings had been in progress more
tliuu two 'Weeks nnd the large tontr
were overflowing at most every serviff
with people from far nnd near nnd it
seems that great good was being done
as thirty people lmd como forward and
confessed their Savior. The evange
list is a very forceful speaker and had
preached some very strong sermons',
nnd snid some very plain things in re
gard to political Romanism.
Oh each Sunday flight. envelopes arc
distributed through" the congrogatiou so
that nil who wish may contribute to the
running expenses of the meeting. It
seems that Ku Klux had not molested
the evangelist or created any disturb
ance whatever, but on this last night
during tho last service an envelope was
handed him, which hnd written on the
outside, “From Klnnsmen, amount 'on
closed <120.00, ” with tho hope that
the evangelist and his party might be
nblo to carry their good work on indef
initely.
Tho ovnngelist expressed to the con
gregation his appreciation of this ter
rible “outrage,” stating that if wc
had moro of these hooded Knights wc
would probably have a better country
in which to live, and there would be less
hard work for evangelists to do.

The “Down Payment”
A “down payment” has started more men on the
road to success than anything else.
A first payment on a home—a business—a piece of
real estate—or a good farm—where does it come
from?
Somebody’s savings account.
Can you ever expect to be a success until you have
learned to save money?
Don’t say you can’t. You can, but maybe you are'
not willing to pay the price.
Many depositors of this bank started with very
modest accounts and their holdings are now the very
envy of their friends. They decided to succeed and
then proceeded to buy it.
We’ll help you if you wish.
