Mrs. Frank Craig of Atlanta
spent Sunday and Monday with
her sister, Mrs. Henry Joyner.
Didn’t the street carnival enjoy
the high price of cotton while in
McDonough ?
Some people have good heads,
but there is nothing in them. If
their brains were dynamite and
some one would touch it off it
wouldn’t even tilt the hat.
Howard Patterson had the mis
fortune to get about two and a
half bales of seed cotton, top and
cushions of his automobile burned
Sunday night. There were abou f
six bales ot cotton in the house,
but the fire was checked by water
and saved the car and remainder

Ye scribe had the pleasure of
attending the fair in McDonough
We know Henry county can have
a fair. One good lady in the
town made the remark on Mon
day after that she was glad when
it was over to get rid of the coun
try people. But she was just mis
taken, for the farmer feeds them
all. But glad to sav her home is
not in McDonough. Sim is just
hired by a firm for a season,
working for a salary like the rest
of us. Sleepy Eyes.

One On Billy.
Billy Sunday has left the farm
ers alone since Lem B. Jackson
furnished him the facts concerning
the relative advances in cotton
and wheat. Mr. Sunday is the
famous evangelist now conducting
a revival here, while Mr. Jackson
is the director of the market bu
reau of the Georgia state depart
ment of agriculture
In a recent sermon Mr. Sunday
scored the farmers for holding
their cotton to get an exorbitant
price and charged them with
standing in the way of victory in
the war. The next day Mr. Jack
son replied with an open letter
published in the newspapers, and
apparently he silenced the evan
gelist’s guns so far as this partial
lar battery was concerned.
Mr. Jackson showed that the
average price of cotton for the
past ten years has been 11 cents,
and the average price of wheat
for the past ten years has be< n
86.8 cent.s. He showed that $2.20
wheat on this basis is the equiva
lent of 28 cent cotton. He called
•
Mr. Sunday’s particular attention
to the fact that the government
has fixer} the price of wheat at
$2.20, while the price of cotton
has been fixed by the natural law
of supply and demand.
