MRS. S. J. ECHOLS
DIED WEDNESDAY
ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN AND
MOST PROMINENT WOMEN OF
THIS SECTION SUCCUMBED
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS.
Mrs. S. J. Echols, one of the oldest
and best known- women of Newton
county died at her home here last
Wednesday afternoon at six o’clock,
after a short illness. Mrs. Echols'
health had been poor for several
years, but she was- not seriously ill
until a feKv days ago. Mrs. Echols
was before her marriage, Miss Sara
Strong, her home being in the eastern
part of the county, where she lived
until after her marriage.
Mrs. Echols was in her eighty-se¬
cond year and had belonged to the
Methodist church practically all her
life and was at i^he time of her death
a member of the Midway or North
lovington Methodist. She had work
ed hai’d for the little church in North
Covington, taught a Sunday School
class in the old chapel before the
present church was built. She took
a great deal of interest in church
work and was a consistent worker in
the Sunday School until she was too
feeble to look after her class. There
iwe a number of young men in Coving¬
ton and quite a number of other
p'aces who yet feel the influence of
this noble woman who taught them
in their boyhood days—men now, wht
will never forget the lessons taught
so well when they were children.
Mrs. Echols leaves four children;
Mr. Charles Echols, of New York;
Mrs. Addie Turner, of Oxford; and
Mr. J. H. Echols and Mrs. W. C.
cjUrk, of Covington. Besiee the im¬
mediate family, she leaves many
other relatives and friends to mourn
her death. The funeral was held at
North Covington Methodist church
Tnursday afternoon at five o’clock,
Dr. James E. Dickey and Rev. Rem
bert Smith officiating.
New Ambulance Wagon.
Mr. T. J.. Harwell has purchased a
new combination wagon. This wa¬

bulance wagon, but is arranged to us<
for a flower wagon and a’.so for a
casket wagon. It arrived last Friday
and Mr. Harwell had a call for it Sat¬
urday morning. Wagons of this class
are very necessary in all towns for
they make the transportation of in¬

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, July 16, 1913.
RULES ARE MADE IN
REGARD TO COTTON
NEW RULING OF THE STEAM¬
SHIP AND, RAILROAD COMPA¬
NIES VERY RIGID ON
EXPORT COTTON
The following letter from L. P.
Hillyer, president of the Georgia
Cankers Association, is self explana¬
tory and one that should be read by
e.very farmer and ginner.
To Farmers, Ginners, Cotton Seed Oil
Mills. Cotton Exporters and Cotton
Compresses:
Owing to the large and, it is al¬
leged, unjust claims, which have been
made against the steamship and rail¬
road lines for damages to cotton
we would call your attention to the
following resolutions, which were
adopted at a meeting of the steam¬
ship and all railroad lines- east of th<
Mississippi and south of the Ohio and
Potomac Rivers, held on the 18th inst
relative to the condition in which
bales- of cotton must be placed before
a clean bill of lading will be issued,
either by the railroads or the steam¬
ships, namely:
That effective on and after Septem
Ler 1st, 1913, on railroad or steam¬
ship bill of lading will be issued with
the cotton received by them.
The following clauses descriptive of
bales of cotton to be used in bills of
lading:
1. Not thoroughly covered.
2. Covering insufficient to retain
marks.
3. More or less wet.
4. More or less stained.
o. Mora or lass soiled.
6. Bales of cotton tendered for
shipment wet and subsequently allow¬
ed to dry out will be marked “Bales
have been wet and dried.”
.7 The standard size of gin boxes
is to be 27x54 inches- and an extra
charge of $1.00 per bale on cotton
will be made for ocean freight on all
bales from boxes of greater length
or width than the above size.
5. The standard size bale 27x54
inches is the basis Qf the freight en¬
gagement with ocean carriers, and
each and every bale of cotton from
gin boxes not exceeding 27x54 inches
must, on delivery contain a minimum
density of 22^ lbs. to the cubic foot.
Any bale of these dimensions that
does not show this density, if not
re-pressed to the required den/ity,
shall pay extra freight of 50 cents pel
bale.
9. Each and every bale of cotton
must be durably and legibly marked
or branded. Marks to be placed be¬
tween bands so that no part of the
mark will be covered by the band.
No other mark allowed upon the bale
except head brand (if any) and -the
mark under which the bale is moving
for export. All other marks to be
thoroughly obliterated so that no part
of any old mark will remain.
10. When the quality of the bag¬
ging is insufficinet to carry the mark
to destination a patch of good bag¬
ging or cloth should be put on the
bale, under the brands, to bear the
mark.
You will note by the above rseolu
tiens that it is the positive intention
oi all steamship and railroad agents
to give the subject of cotton inspec¬
tion, commencing September let, 1913
very rigid attention. You will further
note that should the cotton tendered
for shipment bear any of the defects
noted above, that either any or all of
them ‘will be so noted on the bill of
lading. We desire to state that if
the condition of the cotton justifies
these notations on the bills of lading
and they are so noted, that -these
notations will destroy the negotiabili¬
ty of these cotton bills of lading inso
far as the banks are concerned and it
will become impossible ter the ex¬
porter or cotton buyer to draw
through New York or other financial
centers for the value of the cotton,
when the bill of lading accompany¬
ing same bears any of the above enu¬
merated notations or exceptions.
As the time is exceedingly short
before the movement of the nest crop
and as it is essential for all bills of
lading to be relieved of any excep¬
tions, whatsoever, is grave impor¬
tance that, you and all of you exert ef¬
fort within your power to see that all
cotton interests In your territory con¬
form to these rules and to bring them
face to face with the seriousness of
the situation and the necessity of see
ing first, that the bale when ginned
Is the proper and standard size gin
box, and that it be kept at all times
under cover and not subject to rain
ar.d other weather hazards; that suf
fjcient bagging of good quality be
used, and in short, that the cotton,
TRIBUTE TO CAPT,
JAS, McALLEN PAGE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF EMORY
COLLEGE MADE THE FOL¬
LOWING RESOLUTIONS OF
COVINGTON MAN.
(By The Trustees of Emory College.)
Among the many men who have
honored the Divine element In their
nature and responded nobly to the
high vocation of man in this world,
Capt. James McAllen Pace made ef¬
fective his place in the front rank.
He demonstrated clearly that human
nature, aided by Divine power, is ca¬
pable of walking uprightly and work¬
ing righteousness in a world of temp¬
tation and sinful allurements and di¬
versions. While a man of business
and constant activity in various walkf
of life, he had hie ideals and adhered
to them with such conscientious fi¬
delity as to command the respect of
all with whom he had to do.
Capt. Pace was born in Troup Coun¬
ty, Georgia, on Auguest 2nd, 1835,
died and was buried in Covington,
Ga., September 7th, 1912. He com¬
pleted his literary education at
Emory College, graduating in 1854, la
ter graduating in law at the State Una
versity in Athens, Ga. As a lawyer
in Newton County and -the Flint Cir¬
cuit, noted as that section was for
strong and distinguished men at the
bar, he was always esteemed highly
and sought after for service. He hon¬
ored his profession and so deported
himself in it as never to tarnish its
name or degrade its high functions.
To be a lawyer in his state seemed
to mean something with him that waf
to be cherished and dignified above
and beyond all personal emoluments
and ends.
In May, 1862 he responded to the
call of the Sou-tth and entered the
Confederate Army. He enlisted in
“Gordon’s Brigade”, as assistant ad
justant general, with the rank of Cap¬
tain and served on General John B.
Gordon’s staff until the close of -the
wax. The same fidelity that had be¬
come the rule of his life character¬
ized his career as a soldier. He con¬
tributed his part towards giving tc
the South -the reputation of having
furnihsed the fiinest soldiers the
world ever saw.
For nearly thirty years he was an
honored member of the Board of
Trustees of Emory College, and when
we say honored, we mean all the
w ord conveys. He was loyal and faith
fill to all the interests of -this institu¬
tion, and was ready to devote time
and mind in helping forward its great
work to the utmost.
His legal talents and literary cul¬
ture were often called into service in
e utters of large importance, and they
were never called in vain. Such
service as he rendered can never be
overestimated.
Captain Pace 'was a Christian in all
the vocations of life. He w'as a
Christian in his home, loving his fam¬
ily with a rare devotion and seeking
to lead them in those higher ways
that bring lasting happiness and use¬
fulness. The same high aims were
manifest in his social and business
life and in Ms great love for the
church and her noble mission. He
loved nature, and that led him to
a better and closer relation with na¬
ture’s God. He loved literature- and
that led him to grasp with a broader
conception the beautiful and varied
fields of the Christian life. He loved
mankind, and that drew him away
from self, and out into a world of du
t’’es and obligations that brought in¬
to demand all the resources of his
cultured and devoted manhood.
To say that Captain Pace was a
gentleman, a Christian gentleman, is
perhaps to mention his chief charac¬
teristic. He was a devoted husband
and father, a good neighbor, a close
student, a brave soldier, an able law¬
yer, a man of conscientious fortitude
and integrety everywhere; but in it
all he was ever the geniel gentleman
of such noble order as can only be de
veloped in the highest and best of all
schools—the school of Christianity.
RESOLVED, Therefore:
That w esincerely and highly appre
elate the great service that Captain
Face has so faithfully rendered our col
lege, and lament the fact that we can
have hie services no longer. Alsc
which is the most valauble of our pro
ducts, be given the treatment that is
required for its preservation and
marketing.

NEW DISTRICT FOR
NEWTON COUNTY
WILL CUT OFF A PORTION OF
STANSELL’S AND POSSIBLY A
PART OF GUM CREEK
DISTRICT.
The Board of C ounty Commission¬
ers of Newton County have decided
Lo create a new district in- the west¬
ern part of the county.
Almon. in the northeast part ot
the county has always needed a dis¬
trict. It is now in Stansell’a district
which is a very large district and
an unusually long one, extending
from Gum Creek in the northern part
o' the county to Downs in the south¬
ern.
The Board appointed a committee
of three to lay off the district and
report at the next meeting of the
Board. The committee is composed
of Messrs. H. C. Hyatt, C. D. Ram¬
sey, and W. S. Marbut. This commit
tee will lay off the district and make
the lines. It is not known whether
tley will take from any other district
or not, but it is probable that they
will take a small slice from the lower
part of Gum Creek district, as this
is a large district itself, necessity
ting two voting places. This will give
the county sixteen districts in all,
when the new district is completed.
