MORE PAY FOR
RURAL CARRIERS
Washington, Jan. 14.—Repre
sentative Frank Park, of the
Second Georgia district, today
introduced a bill in the House
ppoviding for an increase of sal
ary of $25 a month for all rural
mail carriers.
The idea of Judge Park in
seeking to secure this increase oi
pay for the rural carriers is that
they are entitled to the money
for the maintenance of their
horses and buggies, and that the
cost of such maintenance, when
deducted from the present salar
ies of rural mail carriers, makes
the real salary less than the car
rier is entitled to for his services
That “Peaches and CreaM” •
Complexion
This time the subject is a new
toilet cream, Penslar Buttlermilk
Cerate.
If it were just “another
cream,” like nearly all ■ the rest,
we wouldn’t say anything about
This space is too expensive to
be devoted to .'common things.
SMITH-PARK WAR
APPEARS LIKEll
Buttermilk Cerate
is very different from all the rest.
It contains about 30 per cent
pure, freshly churned dairy but
termilk.
You may remember that your
grandmother’s * ‘peaches-and-
cream” complexion of her girl-
-hood days was the_result of daily
applications of some buttermilk
compound made after her favorite
recipe.
Penslar Buttermilk Cerate is
based on one of these good old
recipe?, improved and moderniz
ed so that it has become still more
effective.
And it is so skilfully compound
ed and delightfully perfumed that
it is a real toilet luxury, aside
from its value in refreshing,
cleansing, beautifying, and
nourishing the skin.
• It c rrn s in a liberal-sized pack
age—your fifty cents buys enough
to last a long while; smaller size,
in collapsible tube, 25 cents.
If you once examine it, we
know that Penslar Buttermilk
Cerate will be your favorite,
hereafter.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 14.—
A break between Representative
Frank Park and Senator Hoke
Smith was made almost certain
today when Judge Park recom
mended 0. E. Cox for postmas
ter at Camilla. Cox is said to be
a strong anti-Smith man, while
F. B. Perry, another candidate
for the office, is a strong Smith
supporter, with the backing oi
the Smith strength in Camilla.^
Senator Smith would not com
mit himself today when asked ii
he would prevent the confirma
tion if Cox should be nominated,
but there is every reason to be
lieve that he Lwill or that Cox
will never be nominated. Sena
tor Smith has said frequently
that he will not allow the con
firmation of a man who is fight
ing him . and Cox’s sentiments
are said to be frankly spoken.
The term of Mrs. Lena Brim-
berry as postmistress at Albany
expired last Saturday.
Senator Smith said today that
beyond arranging a date for the
mayor and city council of Albany
to see the Postmaster General il
they still wish to protest against
Mrs. Nellie Brim berry’s appoint
ment he will have nothing to do
with that case.

MUST DIVERSIFY
TREIR CROPS
COTTON SUPPLY
IS GIVEN DUE
Atlanta, Ga„ January 15. The
importance of this diversification
of crops by the Georgia farmer
was emphasized in a letter recei v
ed at the headquarters of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce
yesterday from the Georgia rep
resentative of a banking concern
that has loaned over $20,000,000
to the farmers of the state during
the past thirty years.
In this letter, the state cham
ber is urged to push the work of
putting before the state’s farmers
the neccessity of diversifying
their corps, , not only on account
of the approach of the boll weev
il, which will enter the state from
Alabama this year, but from a
standpoint of financial credit.
The letter from the banking
concern, says in part as follows:
“We have just had a letter
from a foreign company that we
represent which states that after
a careful consideration it will
draw a strict line in loaning be
tween farmers who rely solely
upon cotton and others who
adopt mixed farming.”
This action, the letter adds, is
taken notwithstanding the fact
that the company has lost not a
cent on any of its loans in Georg
ia during the past fifteen years,
and is taken simply as indicat
EARLY PRIiARY?
Why not the Executive Com-
mittee of Grady county meet an
drder a primary soon?
Tift and other counties in South
Georgia are ordering primaries
or an early date.
Candidates are announcing for
various offices and we all know
it is best for our home county
politics to be kept seperate from
state and congressional politics.
