COVINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, AUG , , 1908.
The Advent Of King Cotton.
We want to see thwcotton buy.
ers of this city come togethers and
set the price of the first bale off
cotton brought to this market,
fix the price higher enough to
attract the cotton to our city. All
our business and merchants are
should be interested in the
cottou receiptg ot Covin{ , toi)
Let’s come together and increase
the receipt8 f or jqo8 to a record
breaker in the history ot our little
city. This can be done by sowing
the farmers that we are willing to
pay the highest market price for
their products.
We want to see the cotton buy
ers and business men of our city
get together and see to it ihat the
first bale will bring at least 15
cents perpcuud. In doing this it
means a “pull for Covington,”
putting ready cash into circulation,
and thereby aiding each and every
individual directly or indiredtly.
By a 6tart m time this can be
easily arranged by our business
men. Let’s try it and watch the
results.
The iSews, published at Dawson,
in South Georgia, where cotton
is matured weeks earlier than up
here, welcomes the opening of the
cotton season as follows:
Cotton is opening rapidly and
everybody is delighted.
We trust that the price will ad¬
vance as rapidly as cotton •pens,
and that every cent the market can
afford will be paid the farmers.
There is no product of the farm
about which there is more concern
than the cotton crop. There is a
substitute for corn; We can get
along without sweet potatoes; the
sugar cane crop is important, but
pot at all necessary; but cotton
must be made. There is no
substitute.
If there is a low price, nobody
is benefited to any great extent
and hundreds of thousands are
injured. A fair crop and a good
price stimulates trade, puts money
in circulation, enables the farmers
to meet their obligations promptly
und puts money in the banks,
makes the merchants happy, the
professional man smile, the laborer
to rejoice—and the whole world to
feel glad.
The farmer works hard to raise
his share of the cotton crop and is
entitled to a full measure of re
ward. Besides every dollar that
the farmer gets for his cottou en¬
riches the section and helps to en¬
rich the world.
Cotton of this yeai’s crop is now
reaching the market. May it come
fast, but may the high price out¬
run the warehous receipts.

Since our last issue the Coving¬
ton baseball team has played five
games, winning them all. On
Thursdav two of the series of four
games with the Jackson team was
played, and the locals captured
both of them by scores of 5 to 0
and 1 to 0. The feature of these
games was the work of Irb Norman
in the box, be, with the assistance
of his team mates, not allowing
the visitors to cross the rubber.
On Friday the Prtssmen, of At¬
lanta, came down for three games.
They belong to the Union League,
in that city, having played 13
j games, winning them all, which
1 reC ord they opined was good
enough for them to come down—
having heard of the many victories
ot the Covington team—and take
at least two out the three games —
but they proved easy for our boys.
The first game resulted in a shut
out for the visitors—this making
34 innings that nobody had scoied
against the home (earn—and tilt
double header Saturday went i<
the locals by scores of 9 to 1 a no
9 to 2.

Infant Dead.
Irene, the infant daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Robt, E. Smith, of
this city, died at the home of her
parents on Wednesday night at
11:30. Aged one year.
And, Oh, when aweary, may we be
so sink blest.,
And like the innocent child to
rest.
And ieel ourselves clasped to the
Infinite breast.
Thus over a happy home the
shadow of a little grave has fallen;
and, as another lias said, it is
wonderful how long a shadow a
little grave can throw. This beauti¬
ful baby iiie wa9 so precious, so
irought with blessing to her
parents that she seemed a flower
ot paradise permitted to bloom for
a brief season by their side, then
recalled to its nature skies, leaving
the earth road for them dark and
lonely,
Irene was the onlv daughter of
Mr. aud Mrs. Smith and had been
sick for the past month, and each
day the mother would kneel over
its little form and pray that it
might be restored to health to
brighten and bless their home.
The funeral services were con¬
ducted from the home on Thurs¬
day aiternoon and the remains
tenderly laid to rest in the city
cemetery.

The New School Auditorium.
Plans and specifications are rap¬
idly being prepared for the new
school auditorium which is to be
erected on the college campus and
within a few feet of the present
school building. This building
will be about 50 feet wide aud 75
feet long, and is to be erected at a
cost of about $7,000.00.
As soon as the plans are accepted
by the schooljjoard and the mate
rial can be placed on the grounds
the building will be commenced.
This building will be paid for
by a special levy of the city taxes
of the city property, the school
board having already called for a
special tax of $7.50 on the $1,000.
which is to be used for school pur¬
poses this year, in calling for
this amount the school board went
the limit. This is as high as they
can ask for under the present char¬
ter ot the city.
Wanted—Mules.
I will be in coving
ton on First Tnesday,
Sent. 1st, to buy good
sound mules- See me.
