Newton County received a mil¬

The price of cotton is headed for
the cellar, it seems. Should it
puss the 10 cent line oh its down¬
ward march, not much of it will
be sold here.

Cotton is rolling in rapidly and
bringing a good price. All hats
off to the Cotton Association.
Now, if the members will culti¬
vate sticking qualities, the farmers
will soon realize the fact that they
are the people, the back bone of
the country.—Jackson Argus.
While Clark is in the mountains
of North Carolina recuperating
his health, Hoke is out on the
huskings giving ’em something to
think about. About the most ser¬
ious feature of Clark’s illness is
the fact that it is liable to be iu a
more malignant form after the
primary.
It is the duty ut every farmer to
join the Southern Cotton Associa¬
tion and use his influence in per¬
fecting theorganization. Without
the organization last year cotton
would have been down to 5 cents
and the opening of tins season
would have found the price but
little changed.
If a farner kas cotton for sale he
can rest very well assured that if
he comes to Covington he can get
the full market price for the staple.
There is the strongest kind of com¬
petition and frequently there is
some strong bidding among the
buyers. Sometimes a buyer, in
order to fill up a certain order, will
pay more the market price for cot
ton. There being so many buyers
in the market, the chances of each
having a larger order than he can
fill is greatly increased, this being
very much to the advantage ol the
farmer.
Candidates and Liquor.
S' me of the Howellites dug up
the ‘ fact that there was a bar room
in the Piedmont hotel, a hostelry
owned by a stock company, Hon.
Hoke Smith being a minority
stockholder. He could no more
have kept that bar room from be
tug established, than the lamented
Grady—a minority stockholder—
couid have kept the Constitution
in line for prohibition, in the days
when it was a vital issue in At¬
lanta, and the eloquent Georgian
in vain took issue with the then
managing editor. Mr. Smith,like
Mr. Grady, protested, but to no
avail.
No one then expected Mr. Grady
to s;ll his stock in the Constitu¬
tion, even though its anti-prohi¬
bition policy and acceptance of
w hisky advertisements did violence
to his principles as a prohibi¬
tionist.
No one who lias considered the
subject in a spirit of fairminded
ness, now expects Hon. Hoke
Smith to sell his Piedmont hotel
stick, when to do so would entail
financial loss and would only give
that barroom fuller sway.
A few “I am holier than thou”
Pecksuiffiuu yawpers, masquerad¬
ing for the most part behind nom
do plumes, have rabidly as¬
sailed Mr. Smith, and, unfortun¬
ately, have arrayed some really
good men against him—men who
are too fair-minded to do Mr.
Smith the injustice of holding
him to account for what he could
not prevent, if they could be in¬
duced to look at both sides of the
question.—Dublin Times.

Little Tales Told Briefly.
Merchants count upon splendid
business this season. For the man
behind the cotton dollar " ill be
here trade will be good in all lines.
Several hundred bales of new
cotton have already been sold here
and they created a silvery current
in the marts of trade most pleas¬
ing to the hustling merchants.
It seemed for a time last week
that the iquinoxtal season was on
deck sure enough, but grim old
summer soon asserted his authority
Covington people, dozens of
them, are returning from the moun¬
tain resorts, glad enough to get
back and enjoy the comforts of
home.
The County Court was quite
busy this week and a3 a result sev¬
eral darkies are saddet and wiser,
while the county tines and chaiu
gtiugs are increased. Judge Dick¬
son was on the bench.
Covington is making another
splendid fire record this year. Eight
months of 1905 gone, and lire loss¬
es but a few hundred dollars.
Wlrle stock-taking and annual
balances come on the first of the
year, in January, it is also true
that in local business circles the
mercantile twelve months, so far
as reckoning up prospects for trade
is concerned, comes about Septem¬
ber 1st. It is the ending of the
dull summer months and the be¬
ginning of the fall trade. It is al¬
ways looked forward to with inter¬
est and speculatively considered
before its arrival.
Cured ot Chronic Diarrhoea After
Ten Years of Suffering.
“I wish to say a few words in praise ot
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedy,” says Mrs. Mattie Burge,
of Martinsville, Ya *1 suffered from
chronic diarrhoea for \en years and during
that time tried various medicines without
obtaining any permanent relief. Last sum.
met - one ot my children was taken with
cholera morbus and I procured a bottle
this remedy. Only two doses were required
to give her entire relief. I then decided to
try the medicine myself, and did not use
all of one bottle before I was well and I
have never since been troubled with that
complaint- One cannot say too much in
favor ot that wonderful medicine.” This
remedy is for sale by all druggist in Cov¬
ington and Bibb M'l’g. Co., Porterdale,
Concerning Crops.
Greenwood News: Up to the
present time more than two hun¬
dred bales of cotton have been
ginned by tbe Greenwood Oil mill
ginnery; this time last year only
three bales had been ginned.
Sparks Advance : The iarmers
around Covington, Newton coun¬
ty, appear to be in a very prosper¬
ous condition. The merchants say
a large per cent of them have been
paying cash for their supplies
througu the summer.
Montmorenci Cor. Batesburg
Advocate: Crops here in this sec¬
tion and I believe in all Aiken
county are much poorer than last
year. This applies mainly to cot¬
ton, corn being about or almost as
good as last year. The deteriora¬
tion in cotton, however, was ap¬
palling. At one time the present
crop bid fair to become a record
breaker.
Sandersville Progress: Mr. T.
R. Cox returned yesterday from a
visit to Ills brother at Prattville,
Ala. He reports that the crop
conditions in Alabama are about
the same as in Geoigia, the cotton
crop being much below than an
average. He saw a man from
Mississipdi who told him that the
crop in that stase would be smaller
than for many years, four acres
making a bale, whereas during
good crop years a bale to tbe acre
is generally made. Mr. Cox thinks
there will be a considerable ad¬
vance in the price as soon as it is
realized that the crop will be so
short.
