COVINGTON, GA., OCTOBER 12.
T. R. has been to Atlanta, and the
papers will now always refer to him
as being formerly of that city.
It is said that Newton county is
out of cash, but will begin to take
in a big bunch as soon as the taxas
begin to come in.
Read the advertisements in this is¬
sue of The News. There are some
rare bargains offered by the progres¬
sive merchants of the city.
Boost for Covington and Newton
county. You need not fear contra¬
diction when you tell people that
tliis is the best section of the state.
No, Teddy R. has not signed a
contract wiht any of the wild west
shows yet but he is expected to do
so as soon as his contract with the
Outlook shall have expired.
The News wants to issue a paper
every week with from sixteen to
twenty-four pages, and we expect to
do it if the merchants will help us
pay the cost by advertising.
More pay rolls would help Coving¬
ton wonderfully. Among the small
factories which would pay here is
a suspender factory, a knitting mill
and a real live variety works.
The automobile tour aronud the
state this year is not stirring up
the enthusiasm when this plan was
first adopted. It always pays to
strike when the iron is hot.'
When our friends from the rural
districts are in town we want them
to come to see us. It just natural¬
ly makes us feel good to talk to
them and have them feel at home
with us.
The day current from the elect¬
ric light plant woud be a winner all
right. A number of small factories
would in all possibilty begin opera¬
tions if cheap electric power could
be obtained.
Roosevelt has lined up straight
with the insurgents and in all proba¬
bility will be their candidate for pres¬
ident in 1912, notwithstanding the
fact that Taft and a few others be¬
lieve to the contrary.
Now that the election is over
what will become of Hon. Thomas E.
Watson? It is generally supposed
that he will reap the harvest he has
sown through his magaines, of which
the circulation has possibly doubled
during his rantings.
The price of cotton seed this
year in the local markets has been
unusually high, a bale of seed bring¬
ing right around fifteen dollars.
This is a large item with the far¬
mers this year and they all are glad
to see the price hold up to th*
opening figures.
This year has in all probability
sounded the knell to the white pri¬
mary system in this state. Hereaf¬
ter the old line democrats will de¬
mand a democratic primary in which
no one except those who will pledge
allegiance to the nominees will be
allowed to participate.
<There is some talk of abolishing
the board of water and light commis¬
sion of this city and elect the mem¬
bers of council for three years each,
selecting two each year. The may¬
or could then be elected each year,
or every two years just as would
meet the popular demand.
The News is justly proud of the
enormous paronage it is receiving in
its job department this season. Large
orders have been turned from its
presses almost every day, and the
part of it that is so encouraging to
us is that many of them are repeat
orders, showing that <he class work
we are doing is being appreciated.
The people of the county gener¬
ally cannot tell just how many mer¬
chants there are in Covington by
looking at the columns of The News.
Borne of our business men just na¬
turally believe that people do not
read advertisements. They ought to
try it and see. That’s the only way
to t*U.
THE LIVE STOCK SHOW.
Only a few days remain until the
Newton County Live Stock Associa¬
tion will pull of its annual exhibition
of thoroughbred cattle, horses, mules,
hogs and seed corn. October 20th
will be a big day for those of our
citizens interested in breeding the
registered kind of stock and cattle
and their showing last year will be
greatly outclassed this year.
Besides the old breeders of the
county who have been interested
in live stock for years, there are a
number of new names prominently
before the people as enthusiasts, and
they are all vieing with each oth¬
er in producing specimen that will
reach a high score in the show. Ma¬
ny animals have been raised here
this year that will make the breeders
of other states hake notice of the
advance Newton county is making
and by offering good prices for the
product of our citizens will greatly
influence the people generally to
breed nothing but the best—and we
mean by that a line of cattle or other
stock, especially cows, which has for
generations proved their worth both
as tf> show stock and by their pro¬
duct has brought them to the front
ranks of their especial line.
No section Ih the south is better
adapted to raising stock and cattle
than Newton county. Our winters
here are mild and an abundance of
food stuffs can be grown without
scarcely any outlay of cash to keep
a small herd on almost/every farm,
and the profit from it would be far
greater than the all cotton plan of
farming. Then, too, this (Section is
not infected with the diseases so
menacing to cattle in many other
sections. The people of the county
are to be congratulated in the pro¬
gress they have made along this line,
and The News hopes that enthu¬
siasm will continue to abound and
that more of the farmers will look to
the profits and benefits of cattle and
stock raising and devote more of
their time to this popular and pro¬
fitable industry.
GEORGIA-ALABAMA CITIES
NOW IN LIME-LIGHT.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga., says in its regular weekly is¬
sue^
“A Georgia city and an Alabama
city occupy the positions of honor
in the business story of the South
for the past week. Birmingham's
population is officially announced by
the census bureau to be 132,685, an
increase of 245.4 per cent, in 10
years. This is in all probability the
largest increase of any city in the
100,000-class in the United States and
it is a magnificent advertisement of
both Birmingham and Alabama. A
compilation of the building permits of
Southern cities from January 1 to
September shows that Atlanta, with
its record of ?5,411,062 invested in
new buildings in that period, leads
all the rest, such cities as New Or¬
leans and Louisville being left far
behind.
“The record of the week in the two
states is quite a busy one. New bank
are announced for Montgomery, Ala.,
and Jemison, Ala., and a bank at
Huntsville, Ala., is to double its cap¬
ital stock. The first spike was driven
in an electric railway that is to con¬
nect Atlanta, Ga., and Augusta, Ga.
A fertilizer factory is reported for
Huntsville, Ala., a chair factory for
Mobile, Ala., and a copper works for
Valdosta, Ga. At Birmingham, Ala.,
a company leased a valuable coal
mining property and will expend $500,
000 developing it, work to begin at
once. Furnaces at Anniston, Ala.,
resumed operation after having been
idle for months, during which time
extensive repairs were made.
“Rome, Ga., will vote on the issu¬
ance of $275,000 of improvement
bonds, and Amerieus, Ga., will have
a $65,000 bond election. Marietta.
Ga., is to vote on the issuance of
$15,000 of sewer bonds, and Hart
county, Georgia, on $40,000 of road and
bridge bonds.
