REGULATING BAGGING AND TIES
The Southeastern Cotton Buyers
Association lias sent to the plant*
ers, ginners, and cotton buyers
of Pike and t hroughout the count ry
u circular of special interest tA
all cotton ‘growers. The meeting
which passed the resolutions was
held in Atlanta in May last.
The circular is as follows:
“To Ginners and Cotton Plant
ers: The Southeastern Cotton
Buyers’ Association, composed of
thefims below, adopted the follow
ing resolution at their annual
meeting held in Atlanta, May 8:
“ ‘Resolved, That it is agreed by
all buyers belonging to this asso
ciation to put a penalty <>f not less
than fifty cents per bale for any
bale that has on above six yards
of bagging and six bands. This
penalty will be increased accord
ing to the amount of excess bag
ging there may he above six yards
and six bands so allowed.
“ ‘Many other firniH have ex
(>ressad a desire to become mem
icrs of the association, and the
association has been assured by
practically all the buyers and cot
ton mills ip Georgia and Alabama
of th<*ir hearty co-operation in this
movement. These steps have be
come necessary because of the
expensive amount of (tagging
which has been nut un CQttvn at
the gins heretofore, and the fact
that spinners have been (tilling
Jtach to the cotton merchant the
amount of excess of bagging and
ties above six yards and six bands
to the (tale. The Southeastern
Cotton Buyers’ Association in
structed the secretary to send
copies of the above resolution to
the ginners throughout this terri
tory in order that this evil may
be corrected and avoid having
the penalty being put on his cot
ton for excess bagging and ties.”
A POPULIST TICKET.
Reports say that the populist
party of Georgia will put out a
full ticket for state house officers
for the election this fall. It is
given out that Hon. .1. K. Hines
will be the nominee for governor.
He was once before a candidate
and was defeated by Hon. W. V.
Atkinson.
The populists doubtless have no
idea of being successful but it is
to keep the organization up.
Mr. .S. 11. Zellner, of Monroe
county, who is a mighty good man,
is to lie nominated on the Hines
ticket, for state school eonimis
missioner, according to the report.
He is well and favorably known
to the people of Barnesville and
this section of the state.
OroftN tu Monroe County.
The Monroe Advertiser has the
following to say about crops in
Monroe county:
Now that the dry spell has been
broken in Monroe county, the out
look for crops of all kinds is more
favorable. A good corn crop may
vet be made. Men well posted say
t hat the cotton crop is in excellent
condition, and far earlier than
usual. The Advertiser writes a
prediction recently made by a
ahrewd and observant cotton man
that 1000 bales of cotton would be
marketed in Forsyth during the
month of August. This has not
happened in Forsyth since the
season of 1806-IHJ, Last year $
crop in particular was von* late.’*
Ut‘v Arthur !H>pf Better.
The many friends rtf Rev. A. K.
Pope, of Concord, will be glad to
know he is recovering from his re
cent serious illness, and his physi
cians now pfonounee him out of
danger.—Zebulon Journal*

I’rwltytertMM Church.
Services next Sunday at 11 a.
in. and 8 p. m.
The Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper will be administered dur
ing the morning service. Next
Sunday will close Mr, Graves'
pastorate here, and it is earnest
ly hoped that all the members
will be present at these services.
A cordial invitation is extended
to the people generally.
An Affecting Scene.
An interesting incident occurred
at the Congregational Methodist
Church during the service last Fri
day and it made a deep impression
upon all who were present.
After I)r. Hunt had finished his
talk he threw the meeting open
and invited remarks from others.
Mr. Wade Holmes responded, mak
ing a splendid talk, saying that a
good soldier was one that obeyed
willingly and promptly his cap
tain. He illustrated it by telling
how In- had fought under the Con-
federate captain in the civil war.
His remarks were appropriate and
fully appreciated by the audience.
As soon as he hud finished, Mr.
0. N. Gregg arose and taking up
the same line of thought spoke of
the service he had rendered under
the Federal captain, for he had
fought against the Confederate
cause. ILe said he could rejoice
now, however, that he and his
friend, Mr. Holmes, were fighting
under the same captain, being
members of the same church, and
there they clasped hands as
brothers and pledged anew their
allegiance and obedience to the
Great Captain, who was leading
the fight against the common ene
my of mankind. It, was an affect
ing scene and the audience was
deeply moved by it.

SILENCES
The instinct of modesty natural to
every woman is often a great hindrance
to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of
the local phy
sician whi c h
teem indelicate.
The thought of
examination is
abhorrent to
them, and so
they endure in
silence a condi
tion of disease
which surely
progresses from
bad to worse.
It has been
Dr. Pierce’s
privilege to cure
a great many
wom e n who
have found a
refuge for mod
esty in his offer
of free consulta
tion by letter.
All correspond
ence is helil as
strictly private
and sacr e and 1 y

A Fine Place for Rich Boys.
Down in the State of Rhode Is
land they appreciate greatness.
Mr. Reginald C. Vanderbilt was
arrested in Middletown fot run
ning his automobile abbut six
times as fast as the law allowed,
but the town authority quickly
discharged him when they learned
his identity explaining that inas
much fcs the young gentleman and
his brother, Alfred G., owns fancy
farms and pays nearly half of the
taxes collected in the place, noth
ing would be done that might have
a tendency to drive them from the
county.
We have heard a good deal from
Messrs. Carnegie, Rockefeller,
Schwab, Dolliver and others about
the disadvantages under which
the rich are compelled to struggle
alone. The philosophers tell us
that the rich man’s lot is not a
happy one. It is pleasing, there
fore, to hear ot such a case
as that in which young Mr. Van
derbilt has just figured. It is
good to know that here and there
the rich young man may even in
these degenerate days find that
life is almost worth living.
Mr. Vanderbilt is to be congrat
ulated upon his escape from pris
on. and also upon the fact that he
may now get his red terror out
and run over anything in Middle
town that he thinks ought to be
smashed. Glorious days are in
store for him.—Chicago Record-
Herald.
A Good Lady Dies.

morning it cast a gloom over the
little city in which she resided.
She is survived by her husband
and six children who has the sym
pathy of the entire community.
The interment to place at the
Friendship cemetery at Vatesville.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
