SHRINERS COMING
FROM EVERYWHERE
SHRINERS WILL HOLD THE BIG
CONVENTION IN ATLANTA
IN MAY. BIG CROWD ..
IS COMING.
ATLANTA. GA.—For a few days
this spring Georgia is going to be
the railroad center of the United
States, so far as the passenger de¬
partment is concerned. All the avail¬
able rolling stock of every railroad
between the Atlantic and Pacific
Coast will be rolling toward Atlan¬
ta. And here is the reason why: it
is going to require every extra pas¬
senger car, every extra engine, every
Pullman that the roads can possible
put into commission, to bring the Na¬
tional gathering of Shriners here in
May. There will be enough of ’em to
found another city. The number of
Shriners who come to Atlanta will be
larger than the total population of
any Georgia city except Atlanta. It
will be something new for convention
crowds In the south.
Forrest Adair. Potentate of the
local Shriners Temple, and leader of
the movement which brought this big
convention to Atlanta, has received
formal notice of the tariff just is¬
sued by the Southeastern Passenger
Association, giving special rates to
the Imperial council, over all lines
south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers
and east of the Mississippi.
Mr. Adair has been informed that
the Central Passenger Association and
the Transcontinental lines will issue
special orders within the next few
days.
The rates will he lower than win¬
ter round trip tourist rates, and tick¬
ets to Atlanta will be on sale from
every point in the United States and
Canada.
CARD OF THANKS.
We, the undersigned desire to
thank the people of Starrsville and
Oxford for their kindness shown us
during the sickness and death of
our loved one, Mrs. L. W. Evans.

The college boys and girls are

their preparations for lifo.
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, Dec. 31, 1913.
Chamber Is
Working Hard
EVANS LUNSFORD IS APPOINT¬
ED ON LIVE STOCK COM
MITTEE. OTHER GOOD
MEN NAMED.
Atlanta, Ga., — With Milton P.
Jarnagan, head of the department
of Animal Industry, State College of
Agriculture, as Chairman and inclu¬
ding other prominent public officials
and men well known in livestock
circles, President Haden has an¬
nounced the appointment of the fol¬
lowing Livestock Committee for the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. E. M. Nighbert, Federal Re¬
presentative, Bureau of Animal In¬
dustry, for Georgia, South Curoiina
and Florida; Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen,
State Veterinarian; T. G. Chastain,
Central of Georgia Ry. Co.; G. Fred
Hunnicutt, Hapeville; CapL C .W.
Parker, Elberton; B. H. Groover,
Reidsviile: Evans Lunsford, Coving¬
ton ; Dr. L. G. Hardman, Commerce,
and C. W. Fowler, Marietta.
A meeting of this committee will
be held in Athens, January 20th to
formally organize working plans.
Dr. Jarnagin is enthusiastic over
the possibilities of the aid which the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce can
render to its official committee in the
educational campaign for the tick
eradication as well as pushing for¬
ward the formation of co-operative
organizations of farmers in all coun¬
ties for the purpose of introducing
registered sires and systematically
building up the livestock de
partment of the farming industry.
Dr. Jarnagin is a strong advocate
of beginning at home to develop
Georgia’s resources and increasing
the prosperity, first of the rural
districts. "The towns and cities will
prosper, if we will but bring the
farmers and business men togeth¬
er in the mutual issue of building up
the earning power of the average
Georgia farm,” said Dr. Jarnagin:
“The Farmers and business men are
not working close enough together
for the best profit to each and both
of them. I think this accounts for
the indifference they are both guilty
of in connection with the important
work of eradicating the tick, the
worst obstacle of all to the building
and generally placing the whole of
farm operations upon a more profit¬
able basis. Good farming and I mean
by good, that kind of farming which
is most profitable to the farmer him¬
self, demands that we deposit some¬
thing back into the soil every twelve
months, as well as take wealth out
of it each year
"We hear much nowadays”, con¬
tinued Dr Jarnagan, "about the
high cost of living and t he popula¬
tion of the U. S. has increased 9 per
cent, in the last ten years, while
the livestock per capita lias decreas¬
ed 29 per cent. Is it any wonder
that meat is getting higher all tIn¬
ti me. We also hear talk of shipping
beef cattle into the United States
from Argentine. This country to
which we are looking for partial
salvation on the meat question, has
not allowed Its livestock to he run
lown. It has just as much live¬
stock per capita today as it had
ten years ago. What we need to do
in the United States is to quit seek¬
ing outside for a temporary relief
from the high price of porterhouse
and scarcity of beef cattle, and go
to work and use some of our boast¬
ed common-sense in building up our
livestek industry. Five years of
close cooperation between the busin¬
ess men and framers of Georgia
building up their livestock wealth—
and there is a practical plan where
hy in can be done—will bring us
more millions than we cfln get from
any outside source.”

Lunsford Has
Fine Cattle
HAS ABOUT FORTY IN HIS LOT
HERE. OWNS SOME OF THE
BEST IN THE ENTIRE
SOUTH.
Mr. Evans Lunsford has in hislot
here in town some of the best Here¬
ford cattle in the entire south. Mr.
Lunsford has been breeding Hereford
cattle for the past several years and
adding to his herd the best that mon¬
ey can buy. In his herd here he has
thirty-seven and has between thirty
and forty on his plantation in the
southern part of the county.
He attended the great Chicago show
last month and the American Here¬
ford Journal quotes him as follows:
"Evans Lunsford, of Covington, Ga.,
was ti visitor at the Chicago show. He
is one of the pioneer Hereford breed¬
ers of the Southeast; where he says
the Whitefaces are growing rapidly in
popular favor. Farmers have been
slow to realize the advances in val¬
ues, however, and will pay but little
above beef prices for any pure bred
cattle, he says. But they are be¬
coming more interested now in im¬
proving their cattle and are taking
more kindly to Herefords than to
other breeds.”
We agree with. Mr. Lunsford in his
statement to the Hereford Journal and
believe that it is only a matter of
time until the scrubby cattle will be
cast aside and the pure breeds will
take their places.
It costs no more to raise a $100
pure bred calf than to raise a $0.00
scrub calf, if as much. The only thing
in the way is the beginning of the
herd and that could be managed by
anyone that wants to go forward in¬
stead of backward.
THIS IS THE YEAR
FOR BIG POLITICS.
191-1 will lie ushered in as one of
the biennial political years which
Georgia is afflicted with. We fear
that we have inistated things-—every
year is full of polities in our state.
Speculation is rife as to the course of
Governor John M. Slaton, whether he
will continue in the governor's chair
or set his sails for a course in oppo¬
sition to Senator Hoke Smith. In
►he latter event Georgia will have
some of the warmest iiolitical times
she has had in years.
Possible greater local significance
is attached to the candidacy of Con¬
gressman Samuel J. Tribble, for re
election from the Eighth district. Mr.
Tribble has been prominent in the
present congress, and especially since
the Democratic control of both bran¬
ches. It is heard that he will have
opposition, but no definite opponents
have been named. In this connection
ueution has been made of Judge
M. Holden, of Athens, a former jus¬
tice of the supreme court. And from
the same town. T, J. Shackleford, a
prominent lawyer has been specula¬
ted upon. Others say .J. J. Brown, of
Elberton, the unsuccessful candidate
for commissioner of agriculture last
year, is to be recoiled with. Morgan
contends that she must have a
candidate in the field. All told, a
lively race will likely come in the
spring of 1914 for the Eighth district
honors.

THE NEW LINOTYPE
SETS THIS ISSUE
BIG MACHINE HAS BEEN IN¬
STALLED AND THIS WEEK’S
PAPER ITS FIRST WORK.
COME SEE IT.
As announced in our issue of last
week, we were installing our big new
linotype machine. The expert who in¬
stalls these machines finished his work
ast Wednesday and the machine is
now running.
This machine is the latest model
built by the manufacturers and is the
last word in the art of setting type
by machinery. The linotype that we
have been using for the pastthreeor
more years is still in use here, but
it could not handle the increasing
work of the News plant, which necs
sitated the installation of a later and
better machine.
This new machine puts us in a po¬
sition to give the best work at the
most reasonable price, taking the place
of at least five men.
Few weekly papers buy machines
of this class, but the News plant is
now publishing besides our paper the
Emory Weekly, the Emory Phoenix
and the Phalanx, which makes three
weekly papers and one monthly now
handled by this office, besides book
and catalogue work.
Give us your work ' and we will
give it to you on time and the best
that can be had in printing.
