AN INCREASE IN SUBSCRIPTION Unusual Cost of Printpaper Makes the Change Necessary. After having given the matter due consideration, and finding no relief in sight, The Montgomery Monitor, along with practically every weekly paper in Georgia, will on Nov. 15th raise its sub scription price to $1.50 per year. Any man who has kept abreast of the times understands that newspaper has advanced in cost from 300 to 500 per cent, in the past year, making it impossible to issue a paper at the price of a dollar a year. Therefore, from Nov. 15, and until the situation is relieved, the following subscription rates will obtain: One year, $1.50 in ad vance; six months, 75 cents in advance; three months 40 cents in advance. In order to get the benefit of the present price it is necessary to renew at once; no subscriber will be carried for a dollar a year after Nov. 15th. If you appreci ate the work of the county paper, at least call in and pay what you owe, and renew if possible. Show your county pride by co-operating with the county paper. —Oct. 12. Southern Farmers Cheat Themselves. According to the Savannah Press there recently sailed from the Savannah harbor for Scandi navian ports seven vessels loaded with cottonseed cake for cattle feed, total value of this over a million dollars. It is a fine thing to have a product that other countries want, and it is equally good to sell it to them when we don’t need it. But our farmers are surely cheating themselves when they sell such large quanti ties of cottonseed meal to foreign * countries. If these countries 4,000 miles away can buy the cottonseed meal, and pay heavy freight rates, how much more valuable that same product must be to us! We are sleeping on our rights by shipping such large quantities of this product abroad. We don’t blame the people in the foreign countries who buy it, but we blame our people for not using more of it than they do. The time is not yet ripe when the South can use to. advantage all of its cottonseed meal, but that day will come. Certainly we should use more right now. There is no other feed selling as cheaply as this same cottonseed meal on the basis of protein content. Let’s wake up and think along this line. — Southern Farming. Coffee to Vote for Two Representatives. The names of two Democrats will appear on the ticket in the November election for Represen tative from Coffee County. They will be C. E. Stewart and .John Paulk, contestants Wednesday before the Democratic Executive Committee at the Kimball House for the nomination. The subcommittee heard from both sides at length during the afternoon. An agreement was made for the contestants to go before the people in the general election. The contest between .J. B. G. Logan and Oscar Brown for the Senatorial nomination from the Thirty-third district w T as decided in favor of the former. The hearing in the contest between E. H. Beck, of Murray, and L. F. Peebles for the Forty-third district nomination was post poned until October 21.—Atlanta Georgian. One dollar isn’t much to con tribute to the national democratic campaign fund, but if every democrat in Georgia will con tribute this amount it will make a fine showing for democratic Georgia And they ought to do it.
