MT.rZION CAMP MEETING
DRAWS LARGE CROWDS
PLFine Assemblage of Preachors, Who Are Dispens
f ing Christian Doctrine Four Tinies a Day.
Jit. Zion, tha city on the hill, is once
more thronged with Methodists of the
Griffin District who are “tenting on the
oldcatnp ground.”
A more beautiful spot for a camp
ground could not be found and the
handsome improvements recently com
pleted contribute much towards the
J of the encampment. There
are about 600 people camping and the
30 tents afford ample accommodations
for all.
♦ /she public tent which is run by P.
S. Parmelee, of Griffin, is doing a rush
ing business and all are pleased with
the management. The preachers’ home
is a special tent located on a convenient,
spot and it is there that many tales re
lative toebrly experiences are narrated.
The large spring which furnishes a
superabundance of pure and refreshing
water, has been recently walled in with
Georgia granite. Usually the several
thousand people who attend the camp
meeting and Sunday school celebration
I are forced to drink water from 5 or 6
but this time the number has
'Tween advanced to 18.
Two new tents have been built with
in the past few weeks apd a large choir
, platform has been erected under the
tabernacle.
Pleasant Order of Campmeeting.
No one who has never attended camp
meeting has any idea what it is like.
Last Thursday all was quiet about the
camp ground, save for the singing of
the birds in tne trees and the merry
babble of the little brook which flows
from the spring. Friday, just one day
later the campground was the comfort
, able home of more than five hundred
people. Pleasing odors escaped from
the kitchens and the long dining tables
were looked down with campmeeting
.figbstantials. Chickens are to be seen
in coops behind the tents patiently
awaiting their turn in the game and
other gay and beautiful evidences of
'life are apparent on every hand.
Four Services a Day.
There are four services tier day, at 8
and 11 a. m. and 3 and 7 :30 p. m. The

Our Gold Dollar tbe Standard.
The gold dollar of the United States is
„-4he monetary standard of Canada, Brit
ish Honduras and Columbia, and Mexi
co, it is anticipated will attain the same
standard at an early date. The standard
among all proprietary medicines is the
’ celebrated Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
For over 50 years it has been the leader
of its class in curing all stomach, liver ;
and bowel disorders, and that is why it la
used so much to the exclusion of all other
remidies. When the appetite is poor, sleep
restless, blood impure, tongue coated,
breath bad and the nerves unstrung a
few doses of the Bitters will soon set
things rig'' t again. Then it also cures
indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
cramps, diarrhoea or malaria. We urge
yon to trv ft at once.
music, which is in charge of Prof. Boat
man, of Atlanta, is very good. Mrs.

At 11 o’clock Monday morning, Dr.
Clement C. Vary, of Monroe, Ga.,
who is one of the deepest doctrinal
preachers in the state, delivered a ser
mon on ‘the true doctrine of election
ana it was pronounced by many to be
the most conclusive argument that
could be introduced along that line. Dr.
Carey is the author of quite a number
of religious books, several of which are
devoted to doctrinal bible points, which
are clearly and conclusively treated.
Dr. IV. F. Glenn, P. E. of the Griffin
district, preached an excellent serrSon
Monday afternoon.
Rev McConnell Creates In

Rev. Lincoln McConnell, who is very
pleasantly remembered in Griffin, ar
rived Monday afternoon and preached
his first sermon that night. Mr. McCon
nell is a forceful and impressive speaker
and his arrival has created an increasefl
I interest in the meeting. His sermon
Monday night, he said, was delivered
only to those who had sense enough to
think, and throughout it was a wonder
ful appeal for the right, such as is
characteristic of the man. He will
prepch twice a day till meeting closes.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 1904,
wuojlambow WAin
Williamson. Ga., Aug. 81.—The lit
tle article in last week’s News and Sun
in reference to co-operation by the
farmers seems to have struck a respon
sive chord, since the writer has receiv
ed letters and papers from far and near
agreeing to it. With the editor's per
mission. we will have a little more ro
say anent the same Issie
The question that should confront
every farmer is “Will you work hard
every day io produce all you can. while
a few people who do not work are
scheming to beat you out of your hard-,
earned wages?”
It is obvious to all that the price of
cotton bears little or no relation to the
cost of producing it. Cotton may range
in price irom four to fifteen cents a
pound, and yet it costs as much to raise
>» ’ vears of low as in years ot high
h arming is a business as much -o as
nt, rchandieing or manufacturing. In
■ui'iition to the price lie pays for his
’ "is, the merchant tacks on the
t ight. insurance, house rent, clerk
t.ire—all this enters into the cost of the
>O'»ds, and legitimately so. He then
puts on to this a per cent., which is his
profit and represents his wages.
The manufacturer does practically
the same thing, aud so all along the
line. The farmer is the only person
under the sun who has no voice in fix
ing the price on the product of his
sweat and toil. Is this right to be so?
Lit in accordance with the principles
of justice and equity?
To ask the question is to answer it.
Then why is it so?
Farmers, you may’ find the answer in
your own indifference, your jealousy of
each other, your suspicion of those who
would help you, or it may be that you
have not fully realized that yon are a
factor to be reckoned with in all trans
actions in which agricultural products
enter. That the farmer should be a fac
tor in business is not at all remarkable,
but that he should be so long ignorant
of this power and the way to apply it is
remarkable.
Who are now making prices on cot
ton? Are these prices based on the'
much talked of supply and demand?
Prices are made by speculators and not
on supply aud demand, but on tempor
ary conditions, on daily reports, true or
false, on the comparative strength of
the contending forces of bulls today and
bears tomorrow, often making mate
rial changes in a week, a day or an
hour, when there could be no possible
change in supply and demaud.
Since prices are made thus, not by
any rule or fixed law, why not the
farmers make them, at a figure that,
will give them a reasonable wage "for
their toil aud labor?
But you say can this be done? It can
be done by organization and co-opera
tion. The temporary surplus of any
crop can be controlled--held on the
farm- -and the same conditions pro
duced as when the crop is small. All
that is necessary to make prices on the
farm is to control that part which at
times overstocks the markets and
which fixes prices on all. There will
be as much cotton consumed at a fair
price to the farmers as at an unfairly
low price. But to accomplish these re
sults the organization must not be lim
ited to one county or one State, but to
be co-extensive with the territory
which produces cotton. Well, you say
that’s a big thing. True it is,.for it di
rectly affects twenty million people in
this country, as well as other millions
in Europe, and is well worthy a little
time and prolonged effort.

HE TAUGHT THE GYPSIES
HOW TO SWAP HORSES
A Union District Farmer Has an Encounter With
King Stanley at Vineyard.
Sunny Side, Ga., August 31.—Z. M.
Patterson, our expert horse trader,
hie succeeded in effecting five
trades with the Gypsies that have
been encamped near Vineyard tor
tbe past few weeks and hopes to see
them again before they leave.
Old man Stanley, the Gypsy
king, was highly pleased when a
Union district farmer came over a
few days ago to teach him the pri
mary principles ot the profession,
of which the old gypsy has long
been master.
The farmer first swapped two
fairly good mules and a two horse
wagon for a flue looking mare
which would stand for the saddle
alright, but would almost kick the
windows out of the clouds when
harnessed to a vehicle. The next
day he returned and by paying $2.50
to boot exchanged the high kicker
for a balking mate which could by
no power of persuasion known to
man be induced to leave the en
campment. The farmer then se
lected a sorry looking little brown
mule about 12 years of age and ap
proaching King Stankv made bin
the following proposition: "If
you’ll givo me that ‘cussed’ little
mule for my balking mare I’ll leave
your camp and promise to never
come back again. There was a mer
ry twinkle in the old trader’s eye
as he replied, "Can’t, accept your
proposition, mv friend, for I want
you to come back some more. ’’There
was a roar of laughter from the by
standers,after which the old Gypsy,
who knew a few things himself, ac
cepted the proposition and with a
vigorous application both of whip
