Country Editors Will
Raise Subscription Rates.
High cost ot living hasn’t ignor
ed the country editors, and they
are feeling the pinch just like the
rest of humanity.
From information received here
and noted in many of them, from
twenty to thirty of the best known
weeklies in the state will raise
their subscription price SI.OO to
$1.50 on January 1.
There does not seem to be any
concerted movement in that direc
tion, but the publishers appear to
be forced to the step through the
increased cost of production. The
editor of a well known weekly, in
discussing the matter here said:
“I am forced to increase my
subscription rates to $1.50 per
year to prevent the actual loss of
money. Within recent years labor
has increased very much for the
country editor, and it is difficult
to get competent help. White
paper and other things used by us
have advanced considerably. I
know v ith me it is a mere matter
of surviving, and that is probably
true of many ot the boys who are
announcing an increase of 50 cents
per annum in their rates.”

Zachry Thompson, at Carrollton.

State Chamber of Commerce
Fights 801 l Weevil.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. I,—Special:-
The Georgia Chamber of Com
merce has received the prompt
and unqualified endorsement of
Governor John M. Slaton in its
fight to prevent the boll-weevil
from entering into the State of
Georgia. The State’s Chief Ex
ecutive states his position through
a proclamation issued to the peo
ple of Georgia generally, urging
them to give their support to the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce in
the boll weevil fight, and also to
devise ways and means among
themselves to check the invasion
of this pest.
Experts are generally agreed
that the boll weevil will make its
appearance in Georgia within three
years’ time unless radical prevent
ative steps are taken by the peo
ple of the State in the meantime.
Following is the Governor’s pro
clamation:
STATE OF GEORGIA
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

serious menace to Georgia, and

ber of Commerce is now actively

be organized for tne purpose of
bringing about methods of farm
ing and marketing for the better
protection of the State against the
threatened boll weevil invasion,
Therefore, I, John M. Slaton,
as Governor of the State of Geor
gia, do request and urge that
public meetings be held in every
city and town and in every county
in Georgia for the purpose of
devising ways and means to aid
the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce in this movement; and I do
urge the people of the cities and
towns in each county of this com
monwealth to meet among them
selves and devise wavs ana means
in futherance of this seriously im
portant movement.
