The Prison hie gracefully accepted the Su¬ Commission perintendent's voluble explanation, and all is well until some of the gang mm again. It is about time forgets the rules meet a new Prison Commission. The Atlanta Constitution, a paper that usually gets any news that hap¬ pens tinder the sun, carried the follow¬ ing report Wednesday: •John S. Williams, Jasper county “murder farm” boss who is now serving a life sentence at the state prison farm, wa« allowed to visit his home recently, it was admitted by Superintendent Dun¬ away, of the farm, before the state Pris¬ on Commission Tuesday morning. Mr. Dunaway said that Williams was acting -s his chauffeur at the time, and plead¬ ed ignorance of the rule which forbids prisoners leaving the farm without the express permission of the Prison Com¬ mission. His explanation was accepted by the Commission. “The superintendent explained that the trip in question was purely business n nature, and that as Williams is one of he most valuable men on the farm, he thought it entirely regular for him to tilize the prisoner’s services in the ca¬ pacity of chauffeur. “The trip out of which grew criticism 'f the superintendent in a Covington aper. had three objects, said Mr. Duna vav. He made it to complete arrange¬ ments for obtaining some seed wheat, to atchange some hogs for another breed, nd to get some burr clover seed, Mr. unaway stated. "He explained further that Williams as allowed to see his wife and daugh er at his home. The Covington paper Larged that there had been a reunion f the family, and that a big picnic was eld, which Williams attended. This was euied by the superintendent, who sta ed that the prisoner only saw' two mem rs of his family, his wife and daugh cr. He said also that the prisoner was ot allowed to leave his sight. "Although there is a rule that allows o prisoner to leave the farm, the super tendent, who has been in charge of e farm only a few months, claimed at he was conscious of no irregularity siting Williams into Jasper county. 'Williams is serving sentence on the nn for the murder of six negroes, ost of the murders occurring in Jas r county last year. He is said by the perintendent to be one of the most aluabie men on the prison farm. Mr. unaway explained that Williams takes personal interest in the farm, and that he was a very successful farmer he¬ re coming to serve sentence, his ser ces are of the highest order.

Dennard, Covington $116,500,000 IS VALUE OF STATE’S COTTON CROP Savannah, Ga., August 16.—Mills B. Lane, president of the Citizens’ and Southern Bank, one of the largest bank¬ ing institutions in the South, issued the owing stat *ment today, relative itions throughout Georgia: “It was impossible for me to make an automobile trip and personally inspect conditions in Georgia, as I had expected to do, with a view of verifying the re¬ ports we received from a questionnaire sent out to a great number of bankers and business firms of the state. The weather is so had and so unsettled it Is possible that I will not now make the trip, but I am satisfied that the reports we received from ;the questionnaire would be verified by my inspection. “These reports show that we will make something over a million bales of cotton in Georgia? this year, and if we do, and get the present market price for it, the crop will bring many millions more than the crop of 1914 brought, when we made our record production of cotton in Georgia. “In 1914 the state of Georgia produced 2,<23,094 bales of cotton, which, accord¬ ing to statistics* sold for $93,900,000 odd dollars, and the cotton seed brought $24,500,000 odd dollars, making a total of $118,400,000 odd dollars, deducting from that amount the cost of fertilizer, which was $24,700,000, leaves a net in¬ come to the planters of $93,700,000, less any bacon, supplies, mules, tools, etc., used in the production of the same. “Taking one million bales of cotton as the crop Georgia will make this year, at $100 per bale, it would be $100,000,000, and the seed estimated on one million bales at the present price, would bring $16,500,000, making a total of $116,500, 000, which would leave to the farmer $104,500,000, or $10,800,000 more than they received for the bumper crop of 1914. “In addition to that, there were manv animals slaughtered in Georgia in 1914, a#id many mules wfre bought and brought into Georgia in 1914, and much bacon and corn shipped into Georgia, while in 1922 there have been very few animals bought and practically no farm supplies, tools, etc, making many mil¬ lion dollars saving to the farmers from that source. “According to the report of the de¬ partment of agriculture, they had at the close of 1921, $35,000,000 in live stock, while in 1914 the live stock value was approximately $13,000,000, so it occurs to me that the farmer will be in much better condition than he was in 1914, when they paid outstanding obligations \vhich they were asked to pay. From my experience the farmers are honest men, and they will pay debts contracted this year and a large part of what was car¬ ried over from 1921 and will be in very fine condition to make future crops of all kinds. “We must not forget that all of th? fertilizer used was not used under cot¬ ton, as during the past six or eight years much of the fertilizer has been used in fertilizing corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, peaches, tobacco and other crops, and the farmer has reaped a prof¬ it from crops other than cotton, placing him in a far better condition now than he has been in in a number of years. “The farmer, during the war, made much money and improved his planta¬ tion by building permanent fences, re¬ moving stumps, and otherwise improv¬ ing his farm, and is living better and having more than he has ever had in my business experience.”—Ex.

He ADVERTISE OUR CITY This is a slogan that should be indelibly branded upon the heart of every loyal citizen. There are many ways in which we can advertise our city and if we neglect to do so upon every opportunity we are not doing our duty to the town which provides us with a living and all the comforts which we enjoy. unturned It is the policy of this paper to leave no stone that will add to the growth and prosperity of this city and the country tributary to it. Our interests are the interests ot every man, woman and child within the civic influence ot our home town. We want to make it bigger and better. We want to boost it upon every opportunity. We want many in¬ dustries to locate here. We want our city to be the center ot business activity, commercially, industrially, and in every other way that will be beneficial. We want a lively and clean city We want a high standard of citizenship, and we want to build better homes, beautify our surroundings and make this a desirable city in which to live and do business. We desire tiiat some of our alert young men organize a “Booster Club”, and that every member of that club be a booster for this community and its civic interests, and every ritizen should feel that he is a committee of one to do what he can for the betterment of the old home town. He should feel that he individually is an active unit in the common¬ wealth, and that as a member of a collective body he is an earnest worker for a bigger and better Covington. Let there be no “Let George do it” policy in this movement. Let it be general^and genui ther, will accomplish much. toge we built just because The great cities of the country were not they had favorable locations. They were built and energized because there were men within their corporate limits who wanted to see them grow, and who were determined that they should grow. The Boards of Trade of these great cities worked hard and spent money to make them grow. They ad¬ vertised in the magazines, in the newspapers, in the fields and pastures and by the roadsides, where glaring bill-boards annealed to the home-seekers, they sent out thousands ot pamphlets broadcast throughout the country, and in every wav and at every opportunity they advertised the commu¬ nity that became a city of importance, a center of trade and We can do something along this line if we try, and if try with a determination to win we will be rewarded in we aim—a bigger and better city. the achievement of our a markets and The larger we grow, the better will be our the more prosperous value, the outlying schools will districts. be better, I arm our property church¬ will increase in our made es better, and every municipal improvement upon will a Grander and more elaborate scale, and our industries multiply and taxable property increase. Be a booster, be a shouter for municipal improvements, and try by every possible means to bring within the sphere of our influence every industry that will be of benefit to us. Do not say that it is folly to advertise. Go to it and keep at it and the result will be worthy of the effort. ’ Thousands of towns no better located than ours have become cities of importance through the well directed efforts of their citizens to make them so, and what others have done we can do if we have the right spirit; the community spirit; j the good sense to lay aside every jealous thought and go . n( good. to work for the common FORI) GUARANTEES TO MAKE FERTILIZER j Washington. Aug.15.—Replying to a criticism by Senator Harrold, of Okla i h °ma. and other members of congress that Henry Ford in his proposed con ! Project does not guarantee to manu faeture fertilizer, Gray Silver, Washing¬ ton representative of the American Farm Bureau federation, today wrote them calling attention to section fifteen of the Ford offer, which he quotes as stating that the “manufacture, sale and distribution of commercial fertilizers constitute one of the principal consid¬ erations of this offer.” Mr. Silver declared this the most im¬ portant provision of the contract, and one the violation of which provides grounds for the institution of proceed¬ ings by the attorney general to cancel the entire lease, “Not only does Mr. Ford guarantee to manufacture fertilizer, but he states that he will make 40,000 tons of nitro¬ gen, equal to one-fifth of our total an¬ nual consumption in fertilizer, and he will do so with ‘the most economical power available,’ ” continues Mr. Sil¬ ver’s letter. “The failure to make 8 per cent profit or the failure to make any profit, or th“ inability to manufacture this fertilizer a t less than it is sold, is not a ’cause beyond its control’ and would not give him the right to cease the manufacture of the full amount of fertilizer. “Mr. Ford’s proposal is to manufac¬ ture nitrogen and other commercial mixed or unmixed, and with or without filler, according to demand. Other commercial fertilizers must in¬ clude potash or phosphate fertilizer in¬ gredients, as distinguished from nitro¬ gen commercial fertilizers. Mr. Ford will not fulfill his contract if he does not produce other fertilizer materials, such as potash and phosphates. “The methods of producing phosphate fertilizers are well known, the letter concludes, “and the source of material is within forty miles of the Muscle Shoals plant, in the Tennessee phos¬ phate fields, and there are great possi¬ bilities in* the ilroduction of potash from potash shales by the use of the electric furnace and from other sub¬ stances”.

C. McLehdon was fatally injured, Mr. McLendon was Seriously c!, injured, and their young son, W. Jr., was badly bruised, when their car was struck by a Georgia Railroad freight train at the Kirkwood crossing Monday morning. Mrs. McLendon died at Grady Hospital about one o’clock that afternoon. Mrs. McLendon suffered a fractured hip and severe cuts about the head. Mr. McLendon was severely cut and bruised, and suffered a broken leg. The child escaped with bruises, having been shielded by the body of his mother. The party had stopped just before reaching the crossing to ask directions as to the best road to Atlanta, and on starting again drove upon the tracks directly in front of the approaching lo¬ comotive, which struck the rear of the car, hurling in many feet down the track. All three of the occupants were in the front seat of the car, and the curtains were up, as a heavy rain was falling at the time of the accident. The Grady Hospital ambulance was called, and the injured were rushed to Atlanta. After being treated at Grady, Mr. McLendon was taken to the Davis Fischer Sanitarium. The child, being only slightly injured, was removed to the home of Atlanta relatives. The crossing at Kirkwood is regarded as a dangerous one, as the tracks are not visible from the road. It is said that five accidents similar to that of Monday have occurred there during the past year. Bible Thoughts for This Week Sunday.

THE HAVOC AND MISERY WROUGHT BY “THEY SAY!’ There is one factor which stands out prominently—and present in many of the disagreements of life—the begin¬ ning of the trouble has been, by a num¬ ber of observers, laid to GOSSIP. “They say-” is the arch criminal of the age when it comes to destruc¬ tion of character; and this often results in the taking of life itself. “They say-” parts husbands and wives, breaks up families, blights bud¬ ding romance and sends its victims to undeserved degredation and ruin. The purveyer of gossip may be moral, so far as criminal actions are concern¬ ed; but in reality, distinctly unmoral. He or she would shrink with horror from the firing the pistol or wielding the weapon which kills; yet never hesi¬ tates to direct the shafts of malicious narrative against any one, irrespective of sex or position, about whom the teller may have heard, or conceived, a scan¬ dalous tale. It is all so uncalled for, too! There are many actions in ordinary business which are entirely innocent of any wrongdoings or wrong thinking but which, at the same time, are sus¬ ceptible of misconstruction by any one not immediately in touch with all par¬ ticipants. And the narrator of scandal is little if any less culpable than the listener. Some persons are so gullible that they believe everything they hear. Others are so glad to get "something on” an¬ other that they will accept the wildest and most absurd rumors as fact, and in turn repeat them as such. Let the Georgian suggest that every such story be met with: “Too bad. I certainly must see So-and-So (mention¬ ing the one slandered) and give him (or her) an opportunity to refute such a statement.” Nine times out of ten, the talebearer would be thrown into confu¬ sion and immediately beg that the mat¬ ter be forgotten.—Atlanta Georgian. A SHORT TALK By J. Marvin Rast, THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH !' V- ■ People as a rule entertain the thought of growing (jjd almost as anxiously as they anticipate death itself. This dread of increasing birthdays usually finds lodgment in the human heart along in the later teens, becoming manifest now in powders and paints, and later in dyes, wigs, and a refusal to tell one’s age. Anything to fool the serotinous eye of the public, and leave the impression that the old boy or girl has seen few winters and is good for more. The object in this case is worthy, but the methods employed are not; and the regrettable part is that these camou¬ flages never succeed in leaving the de¬ sired impression with the public. But fortunately there is a way to convince others, and yourself too, that you are young, regardless of the winters that have passed over your head. This is done by simply being young, by im¬ bibing the spirit of youth. If you study youth, you will undoubt¬ edly conclude that children are the hap¬ piest creatures alive—happiest because they laugh, play, and banish care. Per¬ haps you expected to find them laughing playing and banishing care because they are happy. But it is just the opposite. They do these things, and happiness follows as a natural result. Herein lies the spirit of youth, which is in fact the secret of staying young. The reason poets delight in singing so freely of the pleasures of youth, is that many grown-ups allow eating cares to undermine the joy of living, and thus render mature life an unfit subject for poetry. Occasionally, though, an optimistic singer reminds us that age need not be dreaded. Browning did this in his: “Grow old along with me; The best is yet to be.” • And the best is yet to be for the most of us if we but look for it wisely. Age has its pleasures, as as well as youth; but to lay hold of them age must maintain the disposition of youth to laugh frequently, play much, and banish care always. Drink of this fountain, and despite the wrinkles, gray hairs, and halting steps, you will never grow old. DEATH OF BISHOP J. C. K1LGO Noted Leader of Methodist Church Passes Away at North Carolina Home Bishop John C. Kilgo, one of the most prominent leaders of the Southern Meth¬ odist church, died at his home in Char¬ lotte, N. C., on last Friday morning at two o’clock.

Candler, of Atlanta, as¬ sisted by Bishops McMurray, of Louis¬ ville, Ky., and Denny, of Richmond. Bishop Kilgo was well known in Cov¬ ington, being a brother-in-law of Mr. N. S. Turner. Many friends and follow¬ ers here are grieved to know of his death. CONGRESSMAN BRAND IN CAPITAL Athens, Ga., Aug. 15.—Congressman Charles H. Brand left Athens for Wash¬ ington Monday afternoon, in response to a telegraphic call from minority lead¬ er Finis J.

CARROLL VISITS COVINGTON After being away fi'om his old home town, Covington, for eighteen years, Mr E. W. Carroll made us a short visit last Tuesday. He is secretary of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, and is doing a great work for that city. MISS SARAH CONNALLY WEDS MR. VAUGHN A marriage of coi'dial interest to their many friends in Covington was that of Miss Sarah Connally and Mr. Owen Vaughn, of Opelika, Ala. The marriage was solemnized Tuesday even¬ ing at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Stradley, on Chui-ch sti’eet, the Rev. Walker Combs performing the ceremony. The decoi'ations of the house were ar¬ tistic. Stately palms and ferns were ef¬ fectively arranged, while tall stands of beautiful yellow cut flowers and South¬ ern smilax formed a background for the bridal party. Yellow shaded lights and yellow and white cut flowers were used throughout the house. Prior to the ceremony, Miss Wini¬ fred Huson sang very sweetly “At Dawning”, accompanied by Miss Ilah Mae Hopkins on the piano and Miss Gladys Odum on the violin. As Mendelssohn s wedding march was sounded, played by Miss Huson at the piano and Miss Odum on the violin, the bride and groom entered. During the ceremony the “Barcarolle” from “Tales of Hoffman” was played very softly. The bride wore a white satin crepe wedding gown, and her soft tulle veil was caught to her hair with orange blossoms and fell in graceful folds into a long train. She carried a bouquet of white asters, showered with white sweet peas. After the ceremony an informal recep¬ tion was given by Mr. and Mrs. Stradley who were assisted in entertaining by their lovely young daughters, Eugenia and Harriett, and by their sister, Mrs. J. P. Dorella, of St. Petersburg, Fla. The bride possesses a sweetness and charm that has won for her a wide cir¬ cle of friends. The groom is a native of New¬ ton county, and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him. He has succeeded in business undertakings, and is manager of the Opelika branch of the Southern Express Company. After a wedding trip to Atlanta and Tybee, the popular young couple will make their home in Opelika.
