GEORGIA MEN
BACK AMERICAN
COTTON ASSO.
ATLANTA, Aug. 5. (Special)
Georgia got in strongly back of the
American Cotton Association, when
at a well attended meeting repre
senting all sections of the state,held
here Monday afternoon, the Georgia
Division was formally organied by
the election of H. A. Boykin of Syl
vania, as president, and J. A. Davis,
of Sardis, Ga., as secretary-treasurer.
Organization for the Georgia div
ision preceded that of the national
association which took place today,
and which has already set in motion
organization plans for the entire cot
ton belt, with J. S. Wannamaker, of
St Mathews, S. C., as president, and
W. C. Barrickman of Dallas, Tex., as
secretary-treasurer.
The central executive committee
for the Georgia division will be com
posed of seven members, with the of
ficers and ex-officers and five others.
Three of these already named are
C. H. Kittrell of Dublin, T. S. John
son of Jefferson, and E. C. Teasley,
of Taccoa. Two others will be named
this week.
Organization was perfected at a
meeting presided over by Commission
er of Agriculture J. J. Brown who
released the chair to Mr. Boykin, fol
lowing his unanimous election as
president. The Georgia members of
the national board of directors in
clude Commissioner Brown, T, S.
Johnson of Jefferson, A. N. Brown of
McDonough, N. M. Weaver of Cuth
bert, and L. B. Jackson of Atlanta.
Atlanta was selected as headquar
ters for the Georgia division, where
close connection can be had with the
national association. The offices will
be located together, and as a result of
the team work of the two organiza
tions, it is anticipated that Georgia
will make a splendid showing.
One of the first things to be done
will be to put an expert organizer in
the field, in addition to which Presi
dent Boykin and Secretary Davis will
give a great deal of their time to
county organization work. It is their
purpose to make a number of fast
trips through the state, taking in as
many counties as possible themselves.
The Central Executive Committee
for Georgia will complete within the
next day or two, its list of county
executive committeemen, and secure
their active co-operation in the matter
of county organizations which must
be formed as promptly as possible
and brought together into one har
moniously organized whole.
It is anticipated that it will take
approximately two months to com
plete the work, both of state and na
tional organization. Reports re
ceived from all sections of the state
indicate a widespread and enthus
iastic interest in the movement.
Love as a Word.
Love, even as a word only, must
stnnd alone. It is one of the great
monosyllables of our great language
—Love. It Is the invisible gravita
tion of life. With its invisible cords,
viewless but potent, It draws hearts
together over eternal spaces, and holds
them together in an indissoluble bond
In Time and Eternity.
The Wonder of Itl
“Lord, when I look on my own life
It seems thou hast fed me so car#
Sully, so tenderly, that thau canst
have attended to no one else. But,
when I see how wonderfully thod
bast led the world, and are leading
It, I am amazed that thou hast had
time to attend to such as I.” —St.
Augustine.
Why Man Falls.
Man could not fall so low were he
not so great. It is the abused God In
* man that turns him into a devlL
The Erring Soul.
The little I have seen in the world
teaches me to look upon the errors
of others In sorrow, not In anger.
When I take the history of one poor
heart that has sinned and suffered,
and represent to myself the struggles
and temptations it has passed
through, the brief pulsations of joy,
the feverish inquietude of hope and
fear, the pressure of want, the deser
tion of friends, I would fain leave
the erring soul of my fellow men with
Him from whose hand it came. —Long-
fellow.
Serving God.
To do good and to serve God are
materially the same, and the service of
God is the imitation of him. —Benja-
min Whichcote.
Daily Thought.
There are no crown wearers In
heaven who were not cross bearers
here below.—Spurgeon.
Work ChaerfUlly.
Do your work cheerfully, heartily
and be ever prepared for the place
farther up.—E. H. Naylor.
To Mend Umbrellas.
Umbrella handles sometimes be
come loosened from the steel rods.
Put some resin in an iron spoon and
hold it over the gas or on a hot stove
until thoroughly melted; then pour it
Into the cavity in the handle and put
the steel rod into it. Hold it firm un
til the resin $> cold.

Is Stimulating
and Refreshing
Largely by reason of the manner in
which carbonic acid gas is combined
In sodas and charged waters carbonic
acid gas is impregnated under a very
high pressure, and escapes before the
drink is taken into the system.
In Schlitz Famo carbonic acid is com
r bined with extractive substances, and
;/'*VrA*‘°in from these substances it is gradually
liberated in the stomach thereby
utilizing all the beneficial properties

and satisfying. Good and good for you.

The Maliciously Inclined.
Malicious people are of two types—
the actively malicious and the passive
ly malicious. Between the two there
is a difference not of kind but merely j
of degree. The tic-lively malicious are ]
people who delight in belittling and j
injuring others, whether by petty gos- I
sip or outright slander. The passive- |
ly malicious find a strange pleasure in
hearing of anything that is to the dis
credit of other people.
To Clean Oil Painting.
Take the picture out of the frame
and lay a clean towel soaked In clean
water over it. Keep the towel wet
with clean water for two or three
days. Change the towel two or three
times. Wipe the picture with a wet
sponge until little trace of dirt is left.
Repeat the process if necessary until
the picture is clean. When clean, rub
dry and apply clear linseed oil.
Getting Over the Difficulty.
Two little boys, James, 5, and
Alex., 4, went to their aunt’s house
and she had always given them some
thing to eat. This time, however, she
had forgotten and as they were leav
ing Alex said to James: “Ask me if I
am hungry?”

j AMUSEMENTS i
MARGUERITE CLARK~
IN “LET’S ELOPE”
Salutary lessons to young bride ;
I who think- themselves neglected by
their hardworking husbands and who
I engage in more or less harmless
| flirtations with other men, are eir
i braced in the development of the
| story “Let’s Elope”, the new Parr
j mount starring vehicle of Maguerit->
; Clarke, which will be presented a‘
the Alcazar theatre today. The them
is a fascinating one and its treatment
by producer and star has been guid
ed by delicacy and taste with su
perb effort,
perb effect.
The story is based upon Fred
Jackson’s successful play, “The
Naughty Wife”, which made a big
hit in New York during the season
of 1917-1918. The adaption wat
made by Katherine Reed and John S
Robertson directed. The photo
graphy is the work of Hal Young,
who is generally recognized as a
wizard with the lens.
The plot deals with a young wif
of an author who believes hersel*
neglected and plans o to elope with n
shallow-brained young man. Hov
the husband learns of his and take
a hand in the subsequent proceed
ings combines to make one of th
greatest comedies in which Mis
Clark has been seen in many a day
Miss Clark wears several stunnin"
gowns in this pictures, all of which
will interest her women admirers.
One of the strongest companies ’
ever assembled in support of Miss
Clark appears in this picture. The
cast is headed by Frank Mills who
plUys opposite to Miss Clark. Gas
ton Glass has an excellent role and
others in the cast include Helen
Green, .Blanche Standing, George
Stevens and Alice Busby.
Much Truth in Her Remark.
In a Western court a certain man
was defending himself in a suit for
divorce. “She’s unreasonable,” he
contended, adding, “why the other day
she called me the laziest man in the
world because I threw a kiss at her.”
