county fair—anything from a

elephant. It all counts, whether
dressed in hide or feathers.
The tobacco market at Black -
shear this year maintained the
highest average in South Geor
gia. For the best grades a fair
price was paid, but for ordinary
grades the farmers of this sec
tion received nothing. In pro
portion to the size of the crop,
the tobacco farmer is more
thoroughly robbed than the farm
er whose cotton is ordinarily
seized by the sharks arid gam
blers. In cotton they tell the
farmer the w is oversupplied,
a fact with which he is acquaint
ed, but he continues ts make it,
at less than cost. Jn tobacco, he
is told that his crop is oIT in
grade, and in order to accomo
date the manufacturer, he gives
him the crop with his compli
ments.
Indications point to a large
yield of pecans this season. This
is a profitable <|rop, and it is not
subject to fluctuations, like many
staple crops. The price has held
up good for years, with but lit
tle variation; and more and more
it is recognized as fruit of the
highest food value. It has been
well said that a pound of pecans
can be grown at no greater cost
than a pound of cotton, this idea
being based on reasonable varia
tions in cost of setting the grove
or individual trees. Really, af
ter cost of planting has been in
curred, there is but little addi
tional cost for culture. It is a
great crop, and every farm should'
be supplied with as many trees
as there is ground for.
If there is any doubt that
Montgomery county will not have
a county fair creditable to this
entire section of the state, when
it. is staged during the late fall [
every shadow of doubt will have,
disappeared, Then the people of
this county will more fully re
alize the possibilities of this sec
tion. County fairs are both edu
cative and productive- th'e bene
fit is beyond calculation. We
have the ways and means at
hand, but for some reason w r e j
have been lacking in initiative
and progressive spirit. But the 1
wheels are now moving steadily
and surely, and there can be no
failure in the project, which has
assumed a definite and active
shape. The people of the coun
ty at large are urged to take part
in the promotion of the enter
prise.
Two weeks ago, in response to
the appeals of prominent mem
bers of the Dublin and Laurens
County Chamber of Commerce,
who addressed a number of Mont- j
gomery county citizens at the
court house, this county was ;
united in the movement to organ
ize the Twelfth District Develop
ment Association. This is a laud
able movement; it should be de
veloped and carried out to the
letter, and this county should
have a part in it. At that same !
meeting it was also realized the
necessity of having a countv or
ganization, pitched along similar
lines, to co-operate w ith the plans
provided by the district associa
tion, but placing the Montgomery
county farmer in more direct
contact with the aims sought.
To this end a meeting was called
for last Saturday, and the com- 1
Tnitteo appointed for the purpose
issued the necessary notices—the
farmers were notified and begged
to come and yet, not over a half
dozen men responded to the call,
and no meeting was held.' Does \
this reflect co-operation and prog- J j
ress? IxKiks like the wet blank-i
et has been gently spread. _
Cotton, that deceptive commo
dity on which the people of the
South have for a century or more
j cast their fortunes, is now hold
ing out a very inviting hand, af
| ter having occupied a very mod
est seat for the past few months.
After all, the present price is in
the nature of a consolation hand
out.
Cotton Money.
Cotton should not be thrown
on the market as fast as
but should be sold over a period
iof several months to prevent a
decline. x
The Savannah Cotton Factor
age Co., Savannah, (Ja., has
money tq loan on old and new
crop cotton, either for prompt
sale or to lie held. They solicit
