shown by the early arrival of these two

cotton regularly now. The summer

| A MANS JOB.” |
A man’s job is his best friend. It
clothes and feeds his wife and children,
pays the rent, takes him and his family
to the theatre, gives them all a few
weeks' vacation, supplies them with
the wherewithal to develop and be
come cultivated, and holds a gun on
Old Man Want. The least a man can
do in return is to love his job. A man’s
job is grateful. It is like a little garden
that thrives in love. The more intelli
gently he cares for it the more he
does to improve it, the more it is on
his mind, engages his affections and
his best thought and gives him pleas
ure the stronger the probability that
it will one day flower into fruit worth
while, and if you ask any successful
man the reason for his making good
he will tell you that first and foremost
it is because he likes his work; indeed.
he loves it. His whole heart and soul
are wrapped up in it. His whole physi
cal and mental energies are focussed
on it. He walks his work, he talks his
work, eats his work, sleeps his work;
he is entirely inseparable from his
work, and that is the way every man
worth while ought to be if he wants
to make of his work what it should
be, and make of himself what he wants
to be.

Weekly Cotton Letter.
By Savannah Cotton Foctorage Co.
! (All inquiries promptly answered)
e
The cotton crop continues to dete
riorate, not only in Georgia and the
Carolinas but also in Oklahoma, Tex
as and other states. If this deteriora
tion continues the final yield will fall
far short of the government’s estimate
of 8,203,000 bales. It is reported that
a private bureau’s estimate of the cron
condition at this time is 57 per cent of
normal, indicating a yield of 7,400,000
bales, or. nearly 1,000,000 bales less
than the government’s first estimate.
But the course oi the market will
probably be governed by three fac
tors: Whether or not the Federal Re
serve Banks will assist farmers to mar
ket their cotton over a period of sev
eral months instead of being compell
ed to sell as fast as picked; whether or
not the demand will be. sufficient to
force prices up, or whether or not the
weather and boll weevil conditions con
tinue so unfavorable that the yield wilt
be even smaller than present condi
tions indicate.
It is unlikely that cotton grading
from strict low middling to ordinary
will decline much, if any, from the
present level. On the other hand, there
is a good chance for these grades to
advance, because differences in price
between the lower grades are still too
wide., If the 1921 crop is picked as
iast as it opens there will be few low
grades, and this will result in a nar
roviing of differences, which means
that the owners of such cotton will
profit materially. =
Japan was one of the first coun
tries to expérience a financial crisis
fol'owing the world war. It is interest
ing to know that this country has re
cently bought heavily of cotton in the
south, and everyone hopes that other
Far East and European countries will
soon be able to enter our markets. If
they are, no doubt American mills will
follow suit, and we will be another
step nearer normal conditions.
Remove All Dead ‘
Trees From Orchard
Peach trees that have died since last
spring are to be found in practically
every orchard in the Georgia peach
belt. These dead or nearly dead trees
are very detrimental to the remaining
healthy ones. They are breeding places
for contagious tree diseases, but more
especially do they offer breedinfi places
for fruit tree bark beetles or pinhole
borers. These small beetles often feed
upon healthy trees, especially near the
buds, causing droplts of gum to exude.
All dead and dying trees in the or
chards should be removed at once. Do
not wait until fall or winter. Further
more, do not just remove the top, but
all large roots as well. Allow the hole
from which the roots were removed
to remain open at least thirty days
before refiliing. This will give the sun
time to do some disinfection work.
Growers will be well repaid for giv
ing this matter immediate attention as
many trees that are now healthy will
soon succumb to the ravages of pests
‘liberated from dead trees. U. S. Peach
Insect Laboratory, Ft. Valley, Ga.

The Breath of Fall
Gives Life to Business
Shellman and Its Territory Expect
Good Times This Season.
The first breath of fall is in the air.
Things are looking better, crops are
improving and cotton is a little higher.
The farmer’s spirit and the merchant’s
spirit have greatly increased during
the past few weeks. The merchants
are receiving larger shipments to re
plenish their stocks, The outlook for
Shellman has taken on a bright aspect.
The crop movement has already
brought relief to the southwest, and it
will help us soon. Good news comes
from Washington. Taxes are to be
lower. The railroads are about to get
relief, and we are told this will put
two million people to work. Shellman
and territory is headed straight for
better times. Lend a hand with your
local newspaper and let's start the ball
to rolling. Big things are going to
happen soon. .
BIG BARBECUE AT
MAGNOLIA LAKE THURSDAY
An event of much interest Thursday
was the barbecue at Magnolia lake
given by the Sheliman Oil Co. to all
its stockholders, customers and friends.
The barbecue held last year for this
annual occasion was a great success,
but this year it was all the more so.
One of the largest crowds was pres
net at the barbecue and the lake that
had been seen there this season. An
over supply of everything to eat was
there and plenty of goods times for
everybody. Among the officials present
were: Mr. J. S. Billingsley of Albany,
Mr. Edgar Foy of Albany, Mr. Shem
well of Albany, Mr. and Mrs. Tom
Chandler and daughter of Blakely, and
Mr. and Mrs. Solomon of Edison.

| ON SCHOOL BUILDING
! ——
MANY IMPROVEMENTS WILL
MAKE IT ONE OF PRETTIEST
BEST EQUIPPED ANYWHERE.
! Lo
l As the time for the opening of the
school term is drawing near every one
lis wvery much interested in our new
school building. The contractors be
gan work some weeks ago, but on ac
count of delays in shipments of ma
terial and general weather conditions
very little headway was made. The
past two weeks building materials and
the weather conditions have greatly
improved, and quite a change has ta
‘k(‘n place in the looks of the old eye
'sore, called the school building. The
boiler room for the heating plant is
imldcr way. The additional rooms have
been constructed, which, with the old
‘part of the building, make a very' pret
!ty architectural appearance. The brick
veneer is completed about half way up
all outside walls. The windows have
been re-arranged in accordance with
the new school room lighting meth
ods, causing all inlets for light to be
at the back of the pupils, which will
eliminate the strain caused to the.eyes
by poorly illuminated study rooms. No
work has been done on the interior.
The rooms will be painted and several
of them re-floored and also the long
hall way. The old stairway will be re
placed by a new and different design.
With the new steam heating plant
there will be no need for old smoked,
black rooms that the children have
been accustomed to. New school room
fixtures will be installed where needed.
With the proper weather conditions.
the contractor stated, the building will
be ready for occupancy by the first of
October.

‘ THAT’S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS—the Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It’s the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack

And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
