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.

TWO PLANTS FOR SAVING j
IMPORTANT FARM PRODUCTS.!
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.

General Election
be Held Tuesday.
In this issue will be found a
card from Mr. M. H. 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.

ket for your other produce.

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. .
