SUBSCRIPTION $1 PER YEAR Entered at the Covington Postoffice as Second-Class Mail Matter. Covington, Ga., Sept , S. 1905. The number of deaths in New Orleans to date from yellow fever is 2,125. Emory College opens an the 20. Dr. Dickey is looking for a large attendance this year. The new electric light plant will be one of the most modern it• this section when completed. The veterans of Newton will erect a handsome monument in Covington about December 1st. We hope a building boom will strike Covington soon. There is not a vacant bouse to be had. Newton County received a mil¬ lion dollars for her cotton crop last year. She produced 24,GOO bales. The people of Tetrell County will pay no taxes next year. The profits arising from the dispensary is the cause. Atlanta is now satisfied. She got one yellow fever patient to stop off long enough to die. So lar she’s even with New Orleans. 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. Judge Alton B. Parker, the man on whom the democrats pined their faith in the last election, because chief Counsel of the Brook¬ lyn Rapid Trust Co. at the salary of $100,000 per year. 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. 000000000.00 000 ooooooooooo o GENERAL NEWS. o O O OOOOOOOOOOOO 000 oooooooooo The majority of the State pub lie schools opeu this week.

Waycross, Ga. has issued a rigid quarantine against all cities that are now or may hereafter be infect¬ ed with yellow fever.

Horace Brewer, a white man, living in Franklin county, is tin der arrest charged with beating his wife to death. Mrs. Brewer was a daughter of Jas. D. Malcom, of Walton county.

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. —-- 1'or good job printing, come te the Enterprise.
