C. A. Meeks Publisher VOL. XXXVI, NO. 49—ESTABLISHED 1886 CARROLLTON, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1923 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.

Start an account today at 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. Dolls nt right pricos at Buyers Va riety Store.

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.
