' <fli 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. Aug. 10th. 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. The First National Bank L. C. Mandeville, President Chas. A. Lyle, Vice-President and Cashier G. L. Stewart, Asst. Cashier; M. A. Sandifer, Asst. Cashier. Carrollton, Ga.
