DOLLAR RATE
IS EXTENDED
After December First Rate
of $1.50 a Year Will
Prevail.
Over a month ago The Monitor
announced that after the 15th of
November the subscription price
would be $1.50 per year. Many
have taken advantage of the op
portunity of getting the county
paper at the old rate, and have
renewed, while many others have
not.
The new rate having been mis
understood by some, and not hav
ing sent bills to the entire delin
quent list to date, it is thought
best to continue the old rate of
SI.OO per year until the Ist of
December.
before the Ist of December a
letter and a statement will be i
forwarded to each subscriber who,
is in arrears, that he may have
an opportunity of getting the pa
per another year at the $1.00;
rate if payment is made prior to
December Ist, as announced fori
November 15th.
It is not necessary to remark)
further on the high price of blank j
paper. A country paper cannot
be printed and sent out for
twelve months for one dollar at j
least where so many names are
carried on the books in arrears. ■
One dollar, cash, will carry it j
another year, or a subscriber has
the privilege of paying as far in j
advance as he likes at the dollar
rate, provided he does so at once.
Therefore, after having allowed
further time, against the fixed
plan, let it be understood that
after the Ist of December, and
after statements have been for
warded to all in arrears, the price
of the paper will be $1.50 a year,
and all subscribers in arrears
will be discontinued. Limited
means will not allow the paper
sent out below cost. If you feel
that you cannot pay $1.50 a year,
at least pay what you owe to date;
this will show a spirit of fairness,
at least.
Millen Gives SIOO to
Democratic Deficit.
Millen, Nov. 17. —E. G. Daniel,
chairman of Jenkins Co. Wood- j
row Wilson Club, this morning
received u telegram from Vance j
('. McCormack stating that Dem
ocratic campaign funds were
short considerably and urged
that Millen donate an extra SIOO

steps to make up this amount
from Jenkins County Democrats.

receipt of the telegram the
amount had been subscribed and
collected and will be mailed to
headquarters tonight.

1 tales of cotton. The lot averaged

Congress May not Get
Its Christmas Dinner.
Washington, Nov. 20.—Repre
sentative Fitzgerald, of New
York, chairman of the House Ap
propriations Committee, is plan
ning to spoil the Christmas din
ners of members of Congress.
During a conference with Presi
dent Wilson over appropriation
bills, Chairman Fitzgerald stated
that an extra session of Congress
immediately after the short ses
sion ends on March 4 probably
would be absolutely necessary un
less Congress eliminated the cus
tomary Christmas recess and
members "stayed on the job.”
T. E. Smith Must
Serve Nine Months.
Savannah. Ga., Nov. 21. —
• Charged with larceny after trust
in appropriating to his own use
funds of Seabreeze Lodge,
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
T. E. Smith was found guilty in
the Superior Court yesterday and
was given nine months.
J. F. Davis, charged with lar
ceny from the house, was fined
twelve months on the gang.
Charles B. Monroe, charged
with larceny after trust and sen
tenced in the Superior Court last
Wednesday to serve twelve
months, was paroled yesterday.
He must pay the costs of the
case.
Egg Prices Still Soaring.
Egg prices have taken wings
in recent days, values touching
new high record points, even in
the large eastern cities where
the consumer has been accustom
ed to pay well for his fresh
eggs. As intimated previously,
a serious egg shortage exists.
Stocks of eggs on hand in cold
storages are radically under those
held a year ago.
Whatever the facts are as to
speculation in eggs, it is undeni
able that production is far short
of present demand. On too many
farms the production of eggs is
a side issue, hens left to get a
living as best they can. This
does not make for regular egg
production. Feed prices, also,
are high and commercial poultry
yards which must buy all their
feeds must have better prices
for their eggs. Unfortunately,
too often the farmer receives only
a comparatively small portion of
the price which the consumec
pays. Possibly sooner or later
plans must be worked out for the
co-operative grading and ship
ping of eggs to secure larger re
turns to the producer.

Oranges in Florida
Sweetened by Cold.
Tampa, Fla., November 16.
The lowest official temperature i
here last night was 39, although i
36, with light frost, was reported l
in the interior. Truckers gen- j
orally had been warned and had j
taken precautions, though due to
the dry season, truck was, gen-1
orally speaking, not far enough
advanced so that much damage I
would result. The add will bene- ■
j fit oranges, sweetening them in
better shape for market. The
highest wind here last night was
20 miles an hour. It is clear and
cool today and probabilities are
that there will be colder w eather
tonight.
