COVINGTON, GA., Nov. 8 1911.
From all reports of those who at¬
tended from here the Stiriners had
a very large time in! Atlanta Monday
night.
As the date for the Newton Coun¬
ty Poultry show grows nearer the
“chicken cranks” are getting more
enthusiastic.
The Darien Gazette wants to know
who invited Hearst back in the dem¬
ocratic party. Nobody; like Tom
Watson, he just butted in.—Dalton
Citizen.
New York is taking steps to keep
the negro out of the best seats in
the theaters. Took New York a long
time to get into the right way of
thinking, but she is gradually coming
to it.
Good thing if Covington would en¬
ter a car in the ’round the state tour.
She would get a lot of high class ad¬
vertising "hat way she could not get
at anything like the same cost other¬
wise.
Stick to your home merchant, and
if you have any cash to spend, give
your trade to him. He is right here
and will give you a square deal and
accommodate you, too, when you get
an a pinch. The mail order man will
not do that.
We are democrat enough to want
the majority to rule about those spe¬
cial tax ordinance®; but we are not
so much of a democrat that we could
conscientiously endorse republican
protection method® even If the ma¬
jority did favor it..
We’ve heard only a few reasons by
only a few people why the city -tax
payers names should not he publish¬
ed. But we have heard many ex¬
pressions from the people as to why
a little more publicity -should be giv¬
en in the maiuagemnet of the city’s
finance.
If the farmers will hold out a lit¬
tle longer they will get better prices
for their cotton. There is hardly any
question about it going up. It Is
likely that the crop will be under 14,
000,000 bales and that the price will
be twelve cents by the first of the
new year.
The News doesn’t feel that it is
so much in the minority, even if one
member of the city council thinks
there is only fourteen citizens of
the city who favor the repealing of
the special tax of twenty-five dolllars
on the sale of beef. If there were
not but two who favored the Tepeal
we would still believe we were right.
Thursday November -the 30-th has
been designated by President Taft as
thanksgiving day. The date is yet a
montth off, but we are here and now
-ready to observe it and be thankful.
There are many -things for which we
all need to give thanks. We yet re¬
member a petition or thanksgiving
phrase in the prayer so frequently
offered by a noted minister who in
almost every prayer said: Lord, we
thank thee -that we are not in the
lunatic asyalum. That alone is suf¬
ficient grounds for observing annual¬
ly a day of thanks.—Commerce News

NEWSPAPER SUPPORT.
A newspaper, if it has any brains,
conscience and muscle back of it,
must continually decide between
doing its duty and injuring its
pocket. In any position but that
of an editor, the public is able to
seperate the individual home from
the collective citizen. But if an
editor does not please them its at
his pocket they aim. Thus it is
the newspapers learn who their
friends really are. The man who
reads the newspaper and admires it
all the year around, yet gives his
business support to some other con¬
cern, whose principles or the actions
of its editor he detests, is not a
friend to the former newspaper. Ad¬
miration alone will not run a news¬
paper. There are too many men who
expect an editor to slave in defence
of their pet noiton® and hobbies, ad¬
vocates their viwes against the
strongest opposition and coolly with¬
hold the business support by which
alone a weekly newspaper can live.
Talk about a paper having a public
duty to perform, and an editor hav¬
ing to work for his principles, is
cheap when others stand back and
extend a lukewarm neutrality. The
result is the editor may starve while
laboring for his principles and the
cause of right and justice, which they
admire but do not support.
LARGE SUMS FROM OTHER
SECTIONS BEING INVESTED.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index says:
“A Chicago capitalist and enditor
in-ehief of one of the largest daily
news-papers in the country has pur¬
chased for $95,000 a tract of 6,000
acres in Glynn county, Georgia
Ohio and West Virginia -investors
have incorporated a company with
capital stock of $100,000, which may
be -increased to $3,000,000, to develop
iron properties in Polk county, Geor¬
gia. A New York company has de¬
cided to expend a large amount of
money in enlarging and improving an
iron 'working plant in Tuscaloosa
county, Alabama.
“These axe some of the items of
news of the week that show
forcefully and convincingly how capi¬
tal from other sections is being in¬
vested steadily and in large sums in
Georgia and Alabama for the further
development of their wonderful re¬
sources.
“The large amount of $1,676,090 is
the total minimum capital stock of
twenty new corporations reported for
the week.
“Five banks have been organized
in the two states in the past seven
days.
‘Among the items of construction
work to be done, as announced this
week, are the following:
“Sixstory appartment house, Dub¬
lin, IGa.; church buildings, Fairhope,
Ala., and Manchester, Ellaville, and
Marshaville, Ga.; hotels, Douglas
and Baxley, Ga.; road improvement,
Calhoun county, Alabama; ware¬
houses, Macon, Augusta and Chats
worth, Ga.; bank building, Cotton¬
wood, Ala.; jails-, Jefferson county,
Alabama, and Heard county, Georgia.
Tuscaloosa, Ala., has voted $35,000 of
bonds for school buildings and Man¬
chester, Ga., will vote on issuance of
! >15,000 of municipal improvement
bonds. |
Two generations ago a Dutch phy¬
sician, out walking with his child,
called the lad’s attention to a passing
hay load as big as a mastodon. “There,
my son,’ said he, “is the equivalent
of what one man eats in a year In
excess of what he needs.”

THE COVINGTON NEWS, W EDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1911.
DID HE PATTERN JIM PLILLIP’S
ELEGANT CHICKEN HOUSE?
WINSTED, CONN.—-B. E. Moore,
of this place, claims to have the
most up-to-date hen house in the
world. The frameworrk of the build¬
ing is of pipes which are filled with
steam and automaetfcally keep the
house at an even temperature and
act as a brooder. The eaves empty
a storage tank from which the water
is -piped to a trough automatically
regulated.
An a'larrm clock in a room over
the hennery releases a lever at feed¬
ing time and allows sufficient grain
for one feeding to descend through a
pipe into the feeding basins. In the
bottom of each nest is an opening
with a trap door through which the
eggs as they are laid drop into a
pipe leading into Moore’s home. As
they pass down from this pipe they
are automatically rubber stamped with
the date.
At breakfast time each morning
steam is turned into t h e pipe and the
eggs arre cooked as they pass from
the hennery to the house.
Why Picking Machine.
Why should the south want a cot¬
ton picking' machine? The farmers
are planting now more every year
than they can gather, arid -the big
crop is responsible for the low pr-ice.
With a machine that would gather as
much as five or six men the crop
would be doubled at least, and the
price would be cut in half. Better
let every farmer plant just what his
own force can gather in the good old
way, and thereby double the price.

Our stock is full to meet every demand. Real economy in
buying Clothing, Shoes, Dry Goods, etc., is not the getting
of goods as “cheap” as you can, but rather it is the getting
of the real value. Practical, sensible people recognize this
important principal of true economy and are discerning
enough to see the extra quality, service and satisfaction i n
an article that perhaps costs a little more than the so call
ed bargains.
We have put our goods down on a basis to meet 8c
cotton and we will prove it to you if you will come to our
store. There,s no use to pay high prices for your goods
when you can buy cheaper here. Give us a trial and we
will convince you that we are selling at let live prices.
