VOL. XXXV. URGES A VOTE FORJJEMOCRATS Mr. Darley Warns Against Trick of Republican Party. Ailey, Ga., Oct. 26, 1920. Editor Montgomery Monitor: Please allow me space in your paper to say a word to the voters of Montgomery county. I see from the papers that the Republican party in Georgia has ! made an effort to secure the: name of the Hon. T. E. Watson on the Republican ticket as a can didate for U. S. Senate, which Mr. Watson very wisely declined to do. Since Mr.' Watson declined, I j now learn ‘that they are making} an effort to elect Mr. Edwards of Macon, and I understand that they are placing the names of our state house nominees on their ticket with the names of the Re publican delegates to the state convention which will elect the electors to cast the vote in the electoral college for President and Vice-President of the Re publican party. This is an effort to trick the voters of our state to vote for Harding and Coolidge, in my opinion. Now let the voters of our coun ty turn out as they never turned out before at any national elec tion and cast their votes for Cox for Presinent and Roosevelt for Vice-President, and the Hon. T. E. Watson for the U. S. Senate. Be sure and see that the names of our state house officers are on the ticket, or in othe words, be sure to vote the straight Demo cratic ticket which has only the names of our regular Democratic nominees. We want to give the Democratic party the largest vote the Empire State of the South has ever cast in any national election. Now let me urge you again to be at the polls early, as the polls will close at the country precincts at 3 o’clock, sun time. Be sure and see that you have the straight Democratic ticket before you cast your vote, as your vote may mean much to you. M. H. Darley, Sec. Democratic Executive Com. M. C. Charlotte.

Montgomery county is essen tially an agricultural section, and indeed this county takes rank with any South Georgia county in the production of staple crops. That it can and will continue to raise this standard there is no : doubt. No argument about this ; at all: the very nature of things fixes this condition and makes increased production necessary, j But Montgomery county, in; common with other sections of Georgia, has ever been lacking in marketing facilities and remiss in adopting what modern meth ods have been offered. Practi-1 caily every Southern crop is les sened in value by improper mar keting methods, but beyond question great improvement has been made along this line during the past few years. May it con-i tinue until the average farmer j can realize the need of a better system. Mt. Vernon is not a manufac-' i turing town, and doubtless never will grow into such; but, situated in the midst of a thrifty agricul tural section, it can and should become a local market for farm | products. In fact, the success of the crop depends very largely on the market, as well as the de mand. Until a year ago there was not in Montgomery county, or within thirty-five miles of Mt. Vernon, a plant capable of preserving fresh meats with any degree of certainty and reliability. In hun- j dreds of cases Montgomery coun ty farmers hauled their meats long distances in order to get the benefit of a curing plant, other- i ! wise much of it was ruined, just ias it has ever been through lack ! of facilities for saving, i During the past winter the Fountain-Palmer Co. installed a modern meat curing plant in Mt. j Vernon, and this business, aside from being a success to its own ers promoters, has been a j blessing to the community and' section. If a pound of meat has I ever been lost through curing in this plant we have not known of ! it, and the plant has been taxed i almost to its capacity since its j installation. These people put their money into a plant for a certain business —for a badly needed enterprise—and they have made a success of it and the pub j lie has been benefited as well. The county needed it. There has recently been opened in Mt. Vernon another enterprise through which the farmers of this section can find a market for another very important product lects. He presents violin solos ami a j pleasing part of his rural characteri zations are his popular “Fiddle” num- j bers. | Mr. Faubel has an exceptionally suc cessful record as a platform enter tainer. Miss Eunice DIJIer Is u reader and pianist of unusual ability, and her work is a pleasing part of the eve ning's entertainment. I —sweet potatoes. There has never been used in Georgia a home-made method of curing I sweet potatoes effective enough to save this crop from decay in fact, it is probable that over half of the sweet potato crop of i the South has always been lost ! through decay incident to im proper curing. For years there has been a I strong demand for a modern plan jof curing sweet potatoes, and but ; few sections of the state enjoyed j this enterprise. The Mt. Vernon j firm. W. A. Peterson & Co., with j sufficient faith in the farmers of j i the county, the demand for such, j and the possibility of the demand 1 being developed, they have erec ! ted the plant. For the first year, and until the methods and mar-j kets have been fully tested, they ■ buy the potatoes direct from the i farmer, and insure him the hivh-1 est market price. As a matter ■ of fact, just now market condi- 1 i tions are unsettled, in all lines, | but they are receiving potatoes ' daily. And no doubt the farmers ’ of this section appreciate the j fact of having a local, guaranteed market for their sweet potatoes. I Thus, it can be clearly seen that Mt. Vernon has furnished two enterprises of more direct benefit to the farmers and stock raisers of this county than any town in the entire section, and as the demand increases it is hoped other enterprises of a simi lar nature will be set up. It adds to the development of the entire | county. To the Farmers of * I This Section: j In order to assist the farmers of this section in the readjust ment of prices, we will pay cash . for all country produce, also, cattle and hogs.

Darley, in which he urges a solid vote for the Democratic nominees from president on down. This letter should be read by every voter in | the county. In addition to the remarks by Mr. Darley, may it again be said that if a Democratic voter votes a ticket, even with certain Demo cratic nominees on it, but con taining the Republican electors, ■he will be voting the Republican I ticket, in effect. I Particular attention is called to | this on account of the fact that 'the Republicans have issued a | ticket containing the regular i Democratic nominess, but con | taining the Republican electors j | instead of the men chosen by the | Democratic convention. The county tickets are being mailed out today by Judge J. C. [McAllister, and should reach the 'election gianagers by Saturday of this week, in ample time for the election Tuesday. Should they not be received by Monday, notify Judge McAllister or the Monitor office. Mr. James Morris Dead. Mr. James Morris, one of the 1 best known citizens of the coun- J ty. died at his home north of Mt. j Vernon today, after a continued j illness. Not having certain facts! relative his illness and death at the hour of going to press, a more extended account of his life will be given in next issue.

At, Rosemont school house on Friday evening, November sth, there will be held an oyster sup per and bazaar, to which the public is cordially invited. The exercises will begin at 8 o’clock, rnd the occasion will no j doubt be one of pleasure and benefit to those who attend. Exchange Notice. To encourage the planting of oats in this section until further notice we will exchange bright, clean, genuine Fulghum oats for other country produce. This will enable you to acquire the best oats for this section without the actual cash and afford you mar ket for your other produce. J. Wade & Henry A. Johnson, Mount Vernon, Ga. INSTALL NEW STAVE MILL 1 • 'Mason & Son Prepared For Operations for Several Years. Messrs. G. V. Mason & Son have recently installed a new i stave mill in the old field south of the brick yard, and the new plant will soon be running on full I time in the manufacture of oak staves. They have secured sufficient timber in touch with the new i mill to keep it in operation for j many years. The new location lis desirable from many stand points, in that as soon as the new bridge is finished it will admit of handling a lot of timber on the west side of the Oconee river. They will ship from a siding on the Seaboard at the old brick yard. On opening up the new plant Mason & Son bored an artesian well, from which they secured a splendid flow of sulphur water. The well has a capacity of fifty gallons per minute. Later they will doubtless install a swimming pool out on the highway, only a few hundred yards distant, and have somethipg of a pleasure ground, to be opened to the pub lic. .
