MR. A. K. SNEAD ATTENDS
MEETING OF GEORGIA
COTTON GROWERS
Mr. A. K. Snead, President of the
Citizens Bank, attended the regular
monthly meeting of the Directors of tho
■Georgia Cotton Growers Co-operative
Association in the offices of the Asso
ciation in Atlanta Wednesday.
Cnrroil county has tho distinction of
having a lnrger number of members in
the Georgia Cotton Growers Co-opera
tive Association than any other county
iu the State. Up to November 1st, Car-
roll county had delivered more cotton
during the fall of 1023 to tho Georgia
Cotton Growers Co-operntivo Associa
tion than any other county in the Rtato
except Bulloch.
There is no doubt that this Associa
tion, together with similar associations
in the other cotton growing Statos, has
had much to do with tho fancy price
eotton is bringing at the present time.
There is no way to estimate just ox-
Mtly how much this Association has
affected tho price of cotton, but it is
generally bclioved thnt cotton is bring
ing live to ten cents a pound moTO than
it would bo bringing if tho Co-ops wore
not in' existence.
Since Carroll county has so many
members in the Association, it is en
tirely proper that ono of tho twenty-two
directors in Georgia should come from
'Cnrroil county. Mr. Snead attends all
tho directors meetings, which are held
once or twice each month and is keep
ing in intimate touch with the affairs
■of the Association. He has had inti
mate porsonnl acquaintance with Mr.
J. E. Conwoll President of tho Associa
tion for tho past twenty-flvo years and
wgys there is no moro substantial or
practical man in the State than Mr.
Conwell and that ho is peculiarly fitted
"by training and experience for the
President of the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers Co-operative Association.

SOME FACTS CONCERNING
CARROLLTON’S SCHOOLS
Tho public schools of our city are se
riously handicapped because of lock of
funds. Three years Jgo the Board of
School Commissioners, realizing that the
schools could not be/ operated os they
should on the existing income, asked
Ihe poople for nn increased rovenue.
The uood for such an increase was not
generally known or understood at that
time, nnd tho proposition failed to win
public, support.
As a result of that the Board of
School Commissioners wore forced to
make n drastic reduction in salaries,
and today our tcuchers are among the
lowest paid of any in the state. And
yot in spito of theso reductions the
Board ennnot operate tho schools, on
the amount of money that we now havo,
without going deeper nnd deopor into
dobt.
There are somo much noodod improve
ments, which at this time are almost
imperative. The heating system of the
Maplo Street school is in serious noed
of overhauling. The walls of both Col-
logo and Maple Street schools are bad
ly in need of repair. Tho typewriters
in tho commercial department of tho
high school aro practically usoloss in
their present condition. Our high
school will bo takon off tho Stato Ac
credited list nnloBB adequate volumes
are provided for tho library at once.
Maplo Street school is not even provi
ded with a large dictionary,, and neither
the Maple Street nor Collego Streot
schools have any library facilities what
soever. There aro no maps at all for
use in tho high school, and the fow in
the grammar schools aro in very poor
condition. The negro school building
and equipment nre in a deplorablo
plight. It is an urgent necessity that
something bo done to rollevo this situ
ation. The public of Carrollton faces
the problem of doveloping a playground
at the renr of tho high school building.
The Board of Education in its presont
financial condition is totally unable to
lend a helping hand to this project.
The blackboards of Mrs. Ward’s room,
as well os those of several other rooms,
are almost useless as they now stand.
But aside from any one or all of these
items the Board cannot even
the schools at they mew are on the pres
amount of income. We have el
ready been forced to borrow $6,000.00,
and the close of tho presont year wig
find ud still in debt, with no hope of
any additional means of support. We
are using every means of running the
schools economically, but we do not
feel that our community can afford to
pauperize the most important func
tional occupation it has on the misguid
ing plea of lower taxes. Tho fundamen
tal principle involved is primarily that
of commensurate return for tho money
spent. No other factor, in fact no other
combination of municipal activities, can
begin to so vitally and so universally
touch tho lives of tho whole community
as do tho schools. Thero is scant wis
dom in depriving out childron of tho
advantages which aro offered by other
cities within our stato and nation. If
wc must mortgage our children, lot us
do it with tho full knowledge of tho
results which tho future will bring.

Jesse M. Wallace Passes Away
Tho wide margin between the pries
rcecived by tho producer nnd that paid
by tho consumer is discussed by W. A.
Winburn, President of tho Central of
Georgia Railway Company, in a state
ment appearing elsewhere in this is
sue. Mr. Winburn’s discussion is based
n recent editoTinl in tho Cochran
(Ga.) Journal, which points out . that
a farmer who sells a hog at 10 cents
per pound on foot buyH back boiled
ham at 80 ceuts per poqnd. Tho Coch
ran editor asks how much freight was
paid on the ham from Cochran to Moul
trie, from Moultrie to Chicago, from
Chicago to Macon, nnd from Macon
buck to Cochran.
Although thiB journey is out of the
ordinary, Mr. Winburn shows that the
entire freight amounts to only 2 1-8
contH per pound, and of the difference
of 70 cents per pound between tho price
received by the producer nnd that paid
by tho consumer, freight rntes were
responsible, therefore; fox a little mo»e
than 3 per cent. -Something else is re
sponsible for tho other 97 per cent.
Mr. Winburn doclnrcs thnt freight rates
arc not a governing factor In bringing
about the spread in price between pro
ducer and consumer, nnd thnt trans
portation rates aro not handicapping
agriculture, but transportation Servian
is the solvation of agriculture. The
railway executive agrees with the Geor
gia editor who concludes that thr
trouble lies in fin unbusincse-Uke sys
tem of farming which forces products
on the market In a disorderly manner,
adversely affecting tho former on one
end rtnd tho consumer nn tho other.
