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. THE COUNCIL’S PROCEEDINGS. Council Chamrek, ?

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.

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. Mrs. Jonathan H.
