farmers union
meets SATURDAY.
Jjnpcrtan t Meeting to be Held in
Court House at Ten i O’clock
Saturday-All Members
” be Present.
Urged to
Th.‘ Newton County division of
the Fanners Educational aud Co
operative Union will meet in the
court bouse in Covington at ten
o’clock a. m. Saturday. It i3
earnestly requested that a full at¬
tendance of its members be pres
ent. Important business is to be
transa .cted and the discussion of
the advisability of marketing the
cotton crop will be discussed.
No organization established in
recent years has grown with the
strides of the Farmers Union. In
Newton county the growth has
been wonderful, From a small
handful just a few months ago the
order lias spread in this county
until almost every section has a
local union. County organizer,
Tom Speer, is hard at work locat¬
ing new unions and is meeting
with great success.
There is no more reason why
I the tarmers should not organize
than laboring men, merchants,
lawyers, bankers, newspaper men,
school teachers, etc. In union
there is strength is as true when
it applies to the farmer as tc the
mechanic.
The Farmers Union is not a
political organization, but is sim¬
ply an organization which is in¬
tended to bring the farmers closer
together, secure for each the same
[advantage in trade and commerce,
bring about a healthier sentiment
towards all matters connected with
education and general benefit of
the tiller of the soil.
Can auy fault be found with this
organization established for this
purpose?
If you want to sell your farm
quick see Chas. G. Smith. He
has applicants who want farm
lands at once.

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER. 6. 1907.
TO VOTE ON
WATERWORKS.
Council Passes Ordinance to Is¬
sue Bonds For Waterworks
and Sewage and Other
Improvements.
At the regular meeting of the
City Council held on Tuesday
night, an ordinance was passed to
order an election to decide whether
the city should issue bonds to the
amount of $60,000-$55,000 for
the purpose of putting in water¬
works and sewage and $5,000 for
building an annex to the Public
school building, election to be held
October 9, 1907.
The council has made its de¬
cision after a careful inspection of
the waterworks systems at several
other towus the size of Covington
where waterworks are already in¬
stalled.
I It is believed that within a few
years the system will pay for it
sell in the way of reducing fire in
surance premiums and the money
the city receives from the water
meters. But aside from this, the
great convience to the public and
the citizens generally cannot be
estimated from a financial stand¬
point.
In a town the size of Covington
waterwork is a necessity —protects
the property of our city and the
health of our community. Cov¬
ington is bound to grow and we
should build tor the future. We
have the natural advantages and
it is but our duty to supply the
artificial necessities.
Now that the council has de¬
cided to put the question before
the free holders—the people who
should be rr.ost interested—let
every citizen go to work and do all
he can for this long needed want.
Madison, Mouroe and Greens¬
boro, towns not as large as Coving¬
ton and with fewer natural advan¬
tages, have waterworks and we be
lieve Covington should have them.
PUBLIC SCHOOL
OPENED MONDAY
For the Fail Session With the
Superintendent, Prof. R. E.
Sessions, in Charge—At¬
tendance Very Large.
t 1 he regular fall session of the
Covington Public School opened
Monday morning with probably
the largest attendance in the his¬
tory of the institution, 275 pupils
being enrolled, and the new’ Super¬
intendent, Prof. R. K. Sessious, is
highly gratified at the prospects
tor a most successful year.
The chosen teachers and grades
they have in charge areas follows:
Mrs. J. E. Phillips, first grade.
Miss Alma Keith, second grade.
Miss Susie Lewis, third and
fou*th grades.
Miss Ackie White, fifth grade
and section A of sixth grade.
i Miss Berta Fox, section B of
sixth grade aud all of seventh
8 ra( L.
Prof. R. E. Sessions and Miss
Lura Harris, high school depart¬
ment, which includes the eighth,
ninth and tenth grades.
We believe the Board of Educa¬
tion made a wise selection when
they chose Superintendent Sessious
Although a new man here, he has
already made a most favorable im¬
pression upon our citizens and will
no doubt, uphold his splendid rec¬
ord of successfully taught schools
of note before coining to our city.
The teachers are all of jthe best
and their ability is unquestioned.
The school catalogues will be
issued from the press and distribu¬
ted within a few daye. They will
give the rules and regulations,
course of study, and duties of the
pupils, parent* and teachers .and
will, altogether, be quite an inter¬
esting portrayal of the work
that has been and is being
done in the Coviugton Public
school.

LOWER RAILROAD
- - RATES IN EFFECT.
New Rules of the Railroad Com¬
mission Reducing Rates in
Georgia Went Into Ef¬
fect Monday.
The new order affecting the pas
setigei rates on the railroads in
Georgia, whic!»was adopted by the
Railroad Commission some time
ago, became effective Monday, and
the roads issued instructions to
their agents to sell tickets at the
new rate.
Many of the railroads did not
revise their passenger rates until
the last moment, hoping that the
legislature would do something fa¬
vorable to them or that the courts
would interfere, but such was not
the case.
1 he rate on the Georgia railroad
is 2^ cents a mile between all
points. Thus instead of a fare of
$1 28 from Covington to Atlanta it
will be 92 cents, aud from Coving¬
ton to Augusta $2.93 instead of
$8 90. On the Central of Georgia
the rate is 2F cents.
The new rate applies to all rait
roads in Georgia save a few short
lines. All week-end and party
rates and interchangeable mileage
books have been discontinued.
