JUDGE GEORGE W.
GLEATON IS DEAD
PROMINENT CONYERS CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY AFTER USE¬
FUL LIFE.
The current issue of the Conyers
Free Press carries the following ar¬
ticle regarding the death of Judge
George W. Gleaton of that city last
week. Judge Gleaton was a promin¬
ent attendant at the courts of this
county and had a host of friends in
this city:
“On Monday morning at 1 o’clock
Judge Gleaton gently fell to sleep,
and his spirit winged its flight to a
home beyond the stars. He had been
in declining health for some time past
but no one thought he was so near
the end of life’s journey. He was
sixty-five years old and had served
well his day and generation, and lived
with a conscience void of offense
towards God and man. Answering
promptly the call to arms to serve his
country, he donned a suit of gray and
enlisted in the confederate army when
little more than a mere boy, and serv¬
ed gallantly until severely wounded
that resulted in the loss of a leg. Re¬
turning home he attended and gradu¬
ated from Emory college, afterwards
taught school in Conyers and diligent¬
ly tried to direct boys like the writer
in the straight and narrow path, and
then read law, to which he devoted
his life’s labors most successfully.
“He married Miss Fanny, a daugh¬
ter of Rev. John L. Stewart.
“He was a man of lofty ideals, and
lived nobly, being always true to
every relation of life.
The funeral service was conducted
by his pastor, Rev. A. F. Branham, at
the Methodist church in a most im¬
pressive manner, after w r hich the in¬
terment was at Eastview. The Con¬
federate Veterans, Daughters of the
Confederacy, and members of the
local bar and county officials were the
honorary escorts and there w T ere
many beautiful floral offerings from
his friends here and elsewhere.
He is survived by his wife, two sons,
John S. Gleaton, of Atlanta and W.
S. Gleaton, of Louisville, Ky., two
daughters, Misses Lucy and Sally
Fanny, and other relatives and friends
whose hearts are saddened at his go¬
ing away.”

BIG ENTERPRISE AT ARAGON
WILL HAVE OFFICES IN AT¬
LANTA.
Newton county stockholders in the
Piedmont Portland Cement company
will be interested in the following
dispatch sent out relative to the op¬
eration of this company last week:
“The Piedmont Portland Cement Co
is rapidly completing a $400,000 ce¬
ment plant at Aragon, Ga., Polk
county, and it is now stated by the
officials that it will be ready to turn
out the finished product within sixty
days.
“This is another of Georgia’s big
enterprises which are springing up
every few days. The plant, it is
stated, will begin with a capacity of
1,000 barrels a day, the purpose be¬
ing to double it in the course of &
year. The work of crushing in the
plant will begin within the next two
or three weeks, though it will be two
months before the actual manufac¬
ture of cement is begun.
“The officers of the company
are .1. C. Bass, of Carrollton, presi¬
dent, and W. H. Davis, of Atlanta,
formerly of Dawson, secretary and
general manager. Mr. Davis has
just moved his home from Dawson
to Atlanta, and Is living at No. 75
Moreland avenue. He will be in
charge of the company’s Atlanta of¬
fice in the Candler building, through
which its entire product will be mar¬
keted.”
SMALL PAPER MONEY.
PRACTICALLY ALL BUSINESSMEN
AND BANKERS ENDORSE
THE PLAN.
Practically all the bankers and bus¬
iness men in Atlanta are heartily in
favor of the plan of Secretary McVe
agh, of the United States treasury, to
systematize the designs of “paper
money” and reduce the size of the
bills.
The $1 bills in the United States are
two or three times bigger than the
paper currency of most other civilzed
countries, for the same denomination.
The 5 franc note in France, which
is equal to about $1, is about the
size of an ordinary business visiting
card. Those of Italy and other Eu¬
ropean countries are approximately

PROSPECTS BRIGHT,
SAYS PRES. FINLEY.
SOUTHEASTERN STATES WILL
HAVE LARGEST CORN CROP
ON RECORD.
Washington, September 15—Presi¬
dent Finley of the Southern Railway
Company, who has been looking into
business conditions in the southeas¬
tern states, today said:
“On the whole the conditions are
encouraging. In agriculture the pres¬
ent outlook is particularly good.
The cotton crop is later than usual
and is therefore more subject to
future weather conditions than is us¬
ual at this time of the year. Howev¬
er the condition report of the United
States agricultural department, issued
on the 2d instant, showed a better av¬
erage condition of the growing cot¬
ton crop in the states south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers and east
of the Mississippi, than on the corre¬
sponding date last year, and the area
planted in June as 140,000 acres great¬
er than last year.
“With ordinarily favorable weath¬
er conditions until the crop is har¬
vested, the southeastern states will
have the largest corn crop on record
for that section.
“Coal is moving in larger volume
than la.t year and lumber is in more
active demand.
“Taking all factors of the
situation into consideration,
I am encouraged to believe that
with average weather conditions and
in the absence of an unusually early
killing frost, we may look forward to
an active fall and winter business in
the southeastern states.”
the same size.
Secretary McVeagh’s plan contem¬
plates not only the reduction of the
size, but a systematization of the de¬
signs, so that, for instance the engrav¬
ed picture of Washington would al¬
ways appeas on bills of the same de¬
nomination, that of U. S. Grant on
others, that of Lincoln on others, etc.
The new engraved plates, to make
the proposed changes would cost
$900,000, which would be soon saved
by the lessened cost of making the
money.
If the idea meets with the general
approval of the public, the changes
will likely be made. The present
dollar bil measures 3.04 by 7.28
inches. The new ones would be 2 1-2
