COVINGTON, GA., SEPT. 2 4, 1913.
Bring your cotton to Covington an!
get the highest market price.
Not a vacant store on the public
square in Covinton for the first time
in several months. Nothing builds a
town quicker that plenty of business
houses.,
Newton county could have as good
canty fair as any county in the en¬
tire state of Georgia, if the cattle
men, the poultry men and the farm¬
ers will all pull together. Why not
have the best?
The Macon Telegraph and the Am
oricus Times-Recorder had splendid
booster editions a few days ago.
Both were gotten out in good style
and were a credit to the manage¬
ment of the papers.
This week’s issue carries a Mans¬
field section of four pages. Mansfield
is one of the beet little cities in
the state and they have a town full
o f progressive men—The kind that
It takes to build a big city.
Covington needs a Chamber of
Commerce and needs it badly. It
seems that with the large number of
progressive business men in Coving¬
ton that it could be easily accomplish
ed if someone would take the initia¬
tive.
Last week’s rain put a ban on cot¬
ton picking and there was not much
doing in the way of business, but if
this weather continues this week will
make up for last 'week's lose. Plenty
time yet to pick Newton’s big crop
of cotton.
The Georgia Pow'er Company is
to be thanked by the people of the
city of Covington for their courtesy.
Our lights Tuesday night were given
to us by this company when, our
plant was broken down. They receiv¬
ed no pay for this and the peopleof
Covington appreciates it.
The officials of the Putnam county
fair have mailed out the prize list
for this year’s fair to be held, in
November. Last year Putnam county
had one of the best county fairs in
the state and they are mkaing prepa¬
rations to have one this year that will
eclipse their former exhibitions.
We have never seen so much about
'‘spooning” in the papers before, es¬
pecially in the Atlanta dailies. Evi¬
dently some of Atlanta’s blue coats
want some noteriety . The preach¬
ers have takenn the matter up in
favor of the policemen, with the
mayor on the other side. Mighty
hard for the people of Atlanta to
agree.
The Hearst papers axe criticising
Secretary of State Bryan few- taking
up so much time on the lecture plat¬
form. Mr. Bryan 6ays that his in¬
come from his official position, of
$12,000 is not sufficient to support
him and that the lectureing is a
necessity, furthermore he says that
the press can say what they please,
but he will continue to lecture when
he so desires.
Quinby Melton, formerly, of Ox
ford, but now editor of of the Ameri
cus Times-Recorder sent Saturday
night here with his father and moth¬
er, Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Melton. Mel¬
ton graduated from Emory in 1913
and was athletic director at a Texas
College last season. He spent his
summer in this office, going to Amer
icus the first, of August. On Septem¬
ber 1st he was made editor of The
Times-Recorder, one of the oldest and
best papers of South Georgia. Meltor
is not yet twenty-five, but is devel¬
oping into one of the best newspaper
men in the state.

HYQKINE.
The International Congress on
School Hygiene, which assembled yes¬
terday in Buffalo, N. Y., should prove
one of the meet fruitful events of the
year, not only for the field of educa¬
tion, but for public interests at large.
This congress, the fourth of its
kind that has been held, represents a
world-wide, organized movement to ini
prove and to conserve the health of
school children; and that, of course,
means an effort to strengthen the
vitality of the rising generation, men¬
tally and morally as well as physically
Scientists and educators from all
the leading nations have come togetin¬
to discuss the problems and the op¬
portunities of this work. Their inter¬
change of views will throw' new light
their recommendations will bestir the
people as a whole to a keener sense
o' public duty in this great sphere of
social betterment.
There can be no doubt, as one o'
the speakers at the opening session
o’ the congrses declared, that a vast
vae of sanitary science is passing
around the world. It is manifested
in hundreds of different ways: in
a deeper perception of the imortance
of individual health, and a, broader
perception of the importance of pub¬
lic health; in divers movements for
the prevention of disease and the con
servation of man’s physical welfare;
but in no way is it more strinkingly
manifested than in. the growing de¬
mands for a larger measure of hygiene
and sanitation in public schools.
These are but a few instances
among thousands that are embraced
in school hygiene endeavor. When
children are made healthy and effi¬
cient, the future interests of society
will be secure. Hence the far-reach¬
ing significance of the movement rep¬
resented by this far-reaching con¬
gress.—Atlanta Journal.
What They say About Tribble.
Mr. Tribble has been in the dis¬
trict now for several days and has
received many congratulations upon t
Cotton Security Amendment to the
Currency Bill. By this amendment
which passed, warehouse receipts are
placed on the same footing as other
negotiable paper and the farmer is
accordingly much benefited. Money
can be obtained from the reserve
banks on the warehouse receipts as
security. By his demand for a re¬
capitulation of the vote Mr. Tribble
was very instrumental in the passage
of the amendment allowing National
banks to loan money on real estate
for a period not. to exceed twelve
months. This is another measure
which will greatly effect the farmers.
—Athene Herald.
We do not know whether Col. Trib¬
ble will be a candidate to succeed
himself or not, but if he is, we would
say to lal of these probable competi¬
tors for the position that they would
better consider the matter thoroughly
before deciding to enter, as Col. Trib¬
ble, by his able, straightforward,
purely Democratic, honest and patrio¬
tic course in Congress, has rendered
himself very popular with the masses
of the people.—DanAeleville Monitor.
