Big Cotton Deal
Possibly the largest cotton deal
ever consumated in Cairo was
made last Saturday when Mr. E.
A. White, one of the county’s
well known farmers- residing
east of town, sold to F. A. Rich¬
ter 112 bales of cotton.
The price paid was 35 cents
per pound, or approximately
$20,000 for the 112 bales. This
cotton was raised during both
1918 and 1919, and was classed
as good middling.
The first barrel of Grady Coun¬
ty Sugar Cane Syrup for this
season was marketed in Cairo
last Friday by Will Babb, color¬
ed. Babb, who lives about five
miles east of town brought in
three barrels Friday, and sold
them to F. A. Richter, receiving
95 cents per gallon, or $97.85 for
the three barrels.

MAKE THE ELECTION
DECISIVE!
If you are a registered
voter in the City of Cairo,
you have an obligation fac¬
ing you next Tuesday, Oct.
25th. The issue of legal beer
or no legal beer has been dis¬
cussed extensively pro and
con in the city. The Council
has now decided to let the
majority decide the issue.
This is your opportunity and
obligation as a citizen to ex¬
press your sentiments on this
controversal question.
Whatever the outcome of the
election, let it be a decisive
answer. Let us settle the ques¬
tion, now that we have an op¬
portunity! If only a small per
centage of voters avail them
selves of the opportunity to
vote, while it may have tempor¬
ary results, the issue will not be
settled, and there will still be
room for doubt and argument.
But if most of the voters turn
out, and speak with their ballots,
we will know, one way or an¬
other, how the majority feels.
If only a few go to the trouble
of voting, and then the election
turns out to be very close, the
issue will still be unsettled, and
no satisfactory result will come
of it. But if a large number
turn out to exercise their respon
sibility and privilege of the
mocratic ballot, in all
ity the outcome will be heavily in
favor fo one side or the other.
If you do not speak your senti
ments with your ballot, you will
have no right to complain of the
results. Your vote might have
made it different.
It you axe a qualified voter
in the City of Cairo take the
time to be a citizen, and
VOTE! Let us settle the
question NOW, and save
further argument.

LESSON ONE FOR THE
COMMUNISTS.
Federal Judge Harold R. Medi¬
na and the twelve Jurors in the
Communist trial of New York
are due the thanks and respect
of every loyal American citizen.
Though the trial went on for
nine months, and the Commun
ists were given every privilege
of our courts, which they seek
to destroy, finally they were
convicted of trying to overthrow
through the use of violence the
United States Government. They
are to be sentenced today, Fri¬
day. *
Applause is also due
Judge for sentencing six of
lawyers on the Communist
for Contempt of Court. They
received sentences ranging
six months down to 30
These attorneys had abused
Court and Judge Medina
every opportunity. True
their beliefs, they showed
respect for our courts. But they
are apt to show some from now
on, when and if they get out
prison.
It is well known that the Com¬
munist are loyal only to Soviet
Russia. Often it seems our de¬
mocratic government and
Courts are too lenient with our
enemies, who have but one aim—
the destruction of the very free¬
doms they seek to hide behind.
Therefore it is comforting to
see that our courts can and will
deal effectively, if slowly,' with
these enemies from within, these
insidious preachers of an alien
and athiestic doctrine, who are
blind to everything but the com¬
mands of th'eir Soviet masters.
Every loyal American citizen
owes the Honorable Harold R.
Medina a debt of graditude,
along with the twelve Jurors,
who saw their duty as citizens,
and did it, ignoring threats of
violence.
Maybe the Communist can be
taught some respect for our
Courts and our Government.
And a few decision such as this
will make effective lessons.
The Communist will not soon
