The geru ra! policy of the paper will not he rn t i tal ly altered, and the public will be served along the usual linos of fairness and liberaiity, and in keeping with established news paper ethics. In order to preserve the high standard established by the pa per in the past, it will be neces sary to have the co-operution and patronage of the public, id this we most earnestly ak, lor our selves personally, and for the progress and continu 1 develop ment of the county p ■r.

With advance tokens of grati tude for the consideration of the public, we are Yours very truly, Fred M. r is, Herman Me ;;ide.

Atlanta, April 4.—A determin ed forward step in providing ma chinery for the better and more . profitable marketing of the cot- I ton crop, will be taken at the meeting of Georgia farmers and business men to be held next Tuesday, April 12, in the hall of the House of Representatives in Atlanta. It is how assured that this meeting, the purpose of which has the indorsement and backing of the State Department of Ag riculture and wdich was called as a result of the recent Elbert County meeting of farmers which indorsed the Sapiro or Califor nia plan, will be largely attended. Assurances reaching the depart ment of agriculture indicate that p actically every Georgia county will be represented. ‘‘lt is important that represen tation in this meeting be as com plete and comprehensive as pos sible,” said Commissioner J. J. Brown, “because it will deal with a situation upon which every Georgia countv will be asked to take prompt and definite action. I mean, of course, the market ing of our cotton crop under a plan similar to that now employ ed Dy the California fruit grow ers. “It is the hope and purpose of the Georgia cotton producing producers to work out a market ing plan suited to their own con ditions and such as shall be em ployed by other cotton states as well as Georgia. What is wanted is to make sure of the orderly marketing of the cotton crop in the laws of sup ply and demand, thus eliminating exchange raiders and bear specu lators. and assuring the producer for all future time, a price which will give him cost of production plus a fair and reasonable profit. “Everyone must realize that in order successfully to establish and put. into operation a plan of this magnitude and importance, it must have the most widespread and complete co-operation and support. Therefore, the necessi ty for general farm and business representation from every Geor gia county will be readily appar ent. I cannot too strongly urge that every one interested in a fair price for cotton and who can do so, be | resent at this meeting. .“There is no question in my mind, with reports coming in from all over Georgia, that we are going to have a full 50 per cent reduction in our cotton acrerge this year, and possibly more. Then, with an efficient marketing in force, we shall 1 e able to market our own crops on a fair basis, free from that de pressing outside interference which has cost the South so many millions of dollars in the past.” Sheriff Sale.
