EDITORIAL NOTES.
Whatever somebody else may do
you and 1 should earnestly endeavor
to do right by every person and
every cause, making every act of ours
stand on its own merit, to be judged
thereby.

We do not believe in strikes, for
we do not think they benefit anybody,
but result in injury and harm to
everybody concerned. The records
of strikes show that those who strike
suffer, or rather the innocent mem
bers of the families of the strikers
suffer. There is a better way to ad
just differences.
The hog and chicken sale to be
held in Barnesville next Monday, Au
gust 14th, promises to be one of the
most successful yet held. County
Agent H. A. Cliett and those assisting
him have completed arrangements for
the sales and it is expected that buy
ers for hogs and chickens will be
present and prepared to pay the high
est market price for them. Chickens
will be bought in any quantity, wheth
er there are a sufficient number to
fill a car or not. Therefore, every
one who may have any number of
chickens may bring them and expect
a cash sale for them. It is expected
that there will be a car load of hogs.
This cooperative plan is the only plan
for successfully encouraging in a sub
stantial way the growing of chickens
and hogs and it should have the hack
ing of all the citiens of Lamar county, i
The crop outlook for this section
has been more encouraging the past
few weeks but the reports now indi
cate that the boll weevil is doing se
rious damage to the coton crop. The
pepper prospect is rather more en
couraging and it is hoped the yield
and profit from this new industry
may be such as to authorize our citi
zens to engage in it more extensively
another year. The corn and other
crops are only medium. It is going
to take several years with economical
living and management for us to get
over the present unsatisfactory con
ditions.
It is estimated that Georgia is pro
ducing only 25 per cent of the pork
and beef that the state is consuming,
and only 10 per cent of the butter,
cheese, poultry and eggs. That
chows where much of our money is
going, not to refer to the fact that
we are not making any of these pro
ducts to ship to other states. We
cannot be permanently prosperous
until we at least make sufficient
quantities of them to supply the peo

Everybody should guard against
typhoid fever by taking the typhoid
serum, which is a remedy almost uni
versally indorsed now by all reputa
ble physicians. The serum is fur
nished free and your family physi
cian will give the serum, the cost be
ing nominal. This is a most import
ant matter and the heads of all fami
lies particularly should give it' im
mediate and serious attention. If it
is possible for Lamar county to be
free from typhoid fever, let’s make
it so. Consult your doctor at once.
It is reported that there are a num
ber of cases already in the county.

furnished the public by President W T .
A. Winburn of the Central of Geor
gia Railway Cos. concerning the record
which the road is making in render
ing service to its patrons the com
pany and all its officials and em
ployes deserve congratulations from
the public. The opinion generally
prevails that the authorities of this
company are trying to do the right
thing by its employes and by the pub
lic and they should have the coopera
tion of all their patrons in the efforts
which they are making for the public
service.
THE HOG AND
CHICKEN SALE
Plans are all set for the holding of
the cooperative hog sale next Mon
day. Quite a few buyers have ex
pressed their intention to be here,
and indications are that we will have
a splendid sale. Our hogs are in
good finish and of highest quality, be
ing strictly corn fed. A successful
outcome is safely predicted. There
will be a charge of 10 cents per hog
to take care of necessary expense and
loss.
The plans for the chicken sale are
also in good shape, and orders are al
' ready beginning to come in. It is
our purpose to buy all chickens
brought to Barnesville Monday, pay
ing the highest market price. We
I are booking orders and expect to
weigh up and fill these orders, paying
the cash upon delivery.
| This sale will be handled very
much the same as other cooperative
sales. However, it does not impose
as much responsibility as a car lot
shipment. There will be a cent a
chicken charged to take care of nec
-1 essary expense and loss in holding
the sale.
I Bring your chickens to the public
J square. We will be in position to
handle any number and will get the
highest price possible for you

APPROVES EDITORIAL
Goggansville, Ga., August 6, 1922.
Hon. B. H. Hardy,
Barnesville, Ga.
My Dear Sir and Friend: —I have
read a great deal editorially and
otherwise in different newspapers
concerning the premature retributive
justice meted out to Cockey Glover.
All of which, in my judgment, only
befuddled the situation—mere flap
doodle—until I ran across your edi
torial, as of last issue of the Barnes
ville News-Gazette, locating the ne
gro in the wood pile and the solution
with clean cut precision.
It is always refreshing to me to
telescope any kind of a proposition
clothed in the white light of truth so
cleanly that no murky ifs and ands
will appear, more especially when
coming through the medium of the
press which moulds public sentiment,
and to a large extent, channelizes the
purpose of its adherents either for
weal or woe.
Again you will allow me to thank
you for the editorial work so weft
done.
Yours very truly,
GEO. W. DARDEN.

POULTRY AND EGG VALUES
The people of Lamar county have
recently had demonstrated something
of the value and profit which may be
had from growing and marketing of
poultry, but they have not yet really
realized its full value. It can be
made far more profitable than cotton
growing has ever been and there is
every reason to say that the industry
should be developed much further
than it has to the present throughout
this section. It can easily be done
by a cooperative plan of growing and
marketing poultry products. /
The estimated total value of poul
try and eggs produced on the farms
of the United States during 1921 was
$943,200,000, according to figures re
cently compiled by the United States
Department of Agriculture. Of this
total $401,600,00 represents poultry
and $541,600,000 represents eggs,
exclusive of pigeon eggs. The pro
duction of poultry on farms in 1921
is estimated at 526,000,000 chickens
and 24,000,000 other fowls. The
production of eggs is placed at 1,-
837,000,000 dozen chicken eggs and
6,000,000 dozen other eggs. These
estimates are based upon the results
of the fourteenth decimal census
which was taken in 1920, but which
covered, in so far as poultry and egg
production was concerned, the calen
dar year of 1919.

We could sell any kind
of clothes-for a while.
The majority of men
would take it for granted
that they were good.
They’d never take the
time to investigate.
We might fool them a couple
of times. They have that much
confidence in us.
It’s a question of confidence,
with them. And it’s a question
of deserving that confidence
with us. That’s why we set a
certain high standard for the
clothes we sell.
That’s why we sell Griffon
Clothes.
It’s not so much for your sake,
as ours.
