BOOSTING BRICK STORE.
Newton County’s Oldest Community
Holds Interesting Meeting.. Ex
bibit at Fair to be Unique.
At an enthusiastic meeting held at
Brick Store school house last Friday
‘veiling the residents of this commu¬
nity announced that they would make
x determined effort to take the dis¬
trict prize at the Newton County Fair
this year. The meeting was presided
over by County Agent J. K. Luck, as¬
sisted by Miss Woffie Floyd, Home
Demonstration Agent, and in an infor¬
mal discussion many interesting sug¬
gestions were made as to the most
attractive exhibits to be shown by
Brick Store at the County Fair.
While those present were sworn to
the secrecy, the News is allowed to
state that the Women's Exhibit, at
least, will he unique in its arrange¬
ment and well worth a trip to the
Newton County Fair.
Prof. G. C. Adams made a
appeal for the revival of the art of
making good biscuit and was so
moved by the thought of delicious
bread—“take two and butter ‘em
while they're hot”'—that lie offered
an additional prize of live dollars for
the best biscuits made in the county;
the only provision being that he be
allowed to act as one of the official
tasters.
In addition to being the home of
the County' School Superintendent,
who, by the way, started the corn
club movement in this section by or¬
ganizing the first lioys’ corn club in
the South. Brick Store has the distinc¬
tion of Iteing the site of the first court
ever held in Newton county: of hav¬
ing had the first rural telephone sys¬
tem in the world: of having the only
golf duh in the county—a real
try club”—and of having a troop of
i.v scouts made up of entirely farm
D.vs. But 1 letter than these things,
ie people of this community are
i the agricultural possibilities and
re striving to make it the lrf-st
■iet in Middle Georgia.

linted to take charge of the arrange
ients of exhibits and working up in

.COTTON ASSOCIATION ACTIV E.
Atlanta, Ua., July 1 .—According to
officials of tile Georgia Division of the
American Cotton Association, the pricey
of spot cotton in the South bears a
very close relationship to the success
of every big business trading in the
South. If the price of cotton can be
maintained at profitable prices to the
growers, business in the Soutli is
maintained upon a safe and stable
basis.
“The extent to which waste is elim¬
inated in the handling of the crop,
and economic reforms adopted in the
marketing ofdhe staple, the safety of
Southern business is to that extent
still further safeguarded and protec¬
ted,” says R. M. Mattox, president of
Georgia Division of the cotton asso¬
ciation. “All classes of business con¬
nected with SoutheriA interests in
any way, therefore, regard the finan¬
cial support of the American Cotton
Association in its efforts to protect
the price of cotton and apply econo¬
my and efficiency to the handling and
marketing of the staple both sound
and-necessary at this period of the
Association’s development. The sub
scription of a three-year membership
in the Association is an investment
which will be used to make business
safe for the subscriber.”
Sustaining memberships, according
to President Mattox, are now being
subscribed by large farmers, bankers,
merchants, jobbers and manufacturers
in various sections of the country do¬
ing business in the South.
