VOL. XXII
Ai and owner who
HAS “WOKE UP”
friend of ours told us recently
p J a contract be helped to draw
I .n between a land owner and his
! o pper that was the most sen
.,D)e standing-rent proposition
ha ve heard of in some time,
aD d one that would mean more
tutbis country than most any
tbinp imaginable if carried out
hva |l laud owners. The con
tract specified that two thirds of
ttie re ut was to be paid in cotton,
a good portion of the balance in
corn , and the remainder in oats.
In other words, one third uf the
ie nt was to be paid in corn and
oats.
For many years renters have
told us that there was no remedy
for reducing the cotton acreages
because the land-owners deman
ded a straight cotton rent.
What did the renter do? He had
to plant an all cotton crop, prac
tically, to have any cotton for
bine self. He didn’t plant corn;
he didn’t sow oats, and he
couldn't raise meat cn cotton.
That’s where the trouble has
always been. But--
Should all the land owners iD
this section contract with their
croppers to take one third of the
rent in oats and corn then the
cropper would have to plant
more of these and less cf the cot
ton. Wouldn’t it be a blessing
to the country? And-
Wouldn’t it be better for the
land owner?
Oats have been grown hy the
hundreds of bushels in this
country at a cost, including
labor, of from 15c to 25c per
bushel, and at the same time
they were selling in Royston
stores at 75c per bushel. That
has not been more than three
years atjCT Where was the pro
lit in growing cotton at a little
above cost and with that cotton
paying THREE times what your
corn and oats were worth?
Never has there been a time
when the necessity of growing
more home supplies could be
more clearly shown than NOW
Still we venture the assertion
that the majority of land owners
in this section will, in making
their contracts now for another
year, ask that the rent be paid
in cotton.
Why not follow up the plan of
the land owuec suggested above?
Can you beat it?
Its an opportunity for land
owners to help better conditions
in this country without hurting
themselves one particle. In
making your contracts (some are
already making them) bear this
in mind and use common horse
sense as the land owner herein
referred to has done.

The Cotton
Question
It is far more profitable to fool
people than to educate them;
hence the vast preponderance of
“bunk” in newspapers, maga
zines, political speeches and
trade literature, but having un
fortunately contracted an unbus
iness like-acd somewhat obsolete
habit of telling the truth, I want
to give you real facts about cot
ton which constitutes the gravest
economic problem now facing
our country.
Much is being said about the
government advancing money
to carry the coming crop until
renumerative prices are obtain
able for it. This plan possesses
some merit because much cotton
must be carried until an outlet
is found, but if the affair is con
sidered closed when the cotton
is stored and an advance obtain
ed two or more crops will event
ually have to he marketed
simultaneously, and we shall
then see very low prices. We
don’t want merely to postpone
the evil day. we should eliminate
it. The way to do this is to in
crease the use of cotton at home
and .in those countries with
which commerce is open.
Let all fertilizers, sugars, Hour
and simihar commodities be
packed in cotton bags sewn with
cotton twine. Let all patriotic
men and women, North and
South, wear, use and render
fashionable goods made of cotton
in place of jut ?, wool, flax, leath
er and other imported or very
expensive materials, and our
farmers will not only obtain fair
prices for the present crop, but
a permanently increased demand
will be created for cotton.

We are sending out today a
number of bulletins on the cotton
caterpillar, giving the best treat
ment for its control. The cater
pillar has appeared in your sec
tion, and the chances are that it
will do a great amount of dam
age on account of the cotton be
ing planted late, unless steps are
taken as soon as it makes its ap
pearanee to light it.
You will note that arsenate of
lead dusted on the plants by
means of a tiotii sack, at the rate
of one and one-half pounds to an
acre is the very best treatment
you can apply. The arsenate of
lead can he mixed with five lbs.
of flour or air slacked lime. If
arsenate of lead cannot he had,
Paris green can be used per in
structions in bulletin. The fact
we wish to emphasize-is, by
treating the spots first attacked,
the caterpillar can be controlled
much more easily than it can la
ter after it has’multiplied and
spread over the field.

BOND—NOT -
* IN BONDAGE.
C. N. Bond, who is connected
with the Ctiero Cola industry of
this State is meeting with a
great hit in the far away state of
Illinois, where be arrived last
Tuesday morning via Evansville
Indiana.
Carmi Illinois, is where one of
the latest and most up to date
plants of the Chero Cola plants
is in operation, and immediately
upon arriving at Carmi met
with a candidate by name of
“Hay” who is making the race
for Representative in So. Illinois,
and in an automobile toured
White, Edwards and Wabash
counties, which borders the
Banks of the Famous Wabash
River, known far and near by
prose and poetry. To take a ride
through this most famous valley
is a treat, long to be remem
bered, as you pass fertile fields
yeilding the golden grain which
bears the staff of life, and the
corn from which so much corn
juice is made, (that makes us all
feel so rich after partaking of
sufficient quality thereof )
You also pass fertile fields of
clover, hay, and alfalfa, and tuen
occasionally a pecan grove, and
many fine farm dwellings with
tine barns, and other out build
ing all of which presents a pic
ture of prosperity.
This part of Illinois has recent
ly voted out the saloons which is
one of the obstacles removed ben
etitting the Chero Cola industry.
Carmi celebrated the Center
nial occurrence the first week in
August as it was just 100 years
ago that the hrst men made legal
land entries in this (White)
county. Mr. Hay, who is spoken
of above, was the President of
the Centennial Celebration, and
did justice to the occasion.
Many of the fertile fields on
Western side of the county
where the hills of the county are
located, while not hills of any
magnitude, still the early set
tiers settled upon th9in in the
early days for the reason that
the Eastern side of this county
was in the early days, considered
as swamps and lakes, which have
in the recent days been trans
ferred to the finest fields. Tra
dition .has put, it down that one
of the hiils, farms on the Wes
tern side of the county, was first
cleared by the Indians and like
all fields which are worked for
any length of time became worn
out, so in order to fertilize the
sod the Indians would catch fish
in the near by stream and would
plant the fish with the corn to
fertilize. One of these fishes had
swallowed an acorn, and from
this acorn grew a most magni
heient old oak tree, and the
leaves on this tree are the shape
nsh, and in as much as we had to
camp out over night we pitched
out tent under this tree, and
white we were frying our bacon,
Mr. Hay remarked that the
leaves off this tree would be good
seasoning for our bacon, where
upon we placed some of these
leaves in the skillet with out ba
am and beheld when we went tc
take up our bacon, the entire
contents of the skillet had turned
to the tinest cattish In the
spring of the year, there is a
fluid which oozes out of the trunk
of this tree, and we are told that
John I). Rockefeller, has been
informed regarding this fact and
he and President Wilson have
taken an option on this farm in
order to corner the market,
thinking that the oil is Cod liver
oil. Upon the adjoining farm is
what was known in the early
part ot the nineteenth Oentary
as the “pigeon roost’,’ so named
on account of the wild pigeons
roosting in the timber. So iium
erous were these distinct birds,
that great trees would be broken
down in a single night, and in
the mornings when they would
start to fly away to the far away
chestnut tiields of Kentucky,
they would make such a noise
that many people would think
the noise was thunder. The old
saying that one half of this world
never knows what the other half
is doing is very well put in, for
had no Chero Cola plant ever
been established at Carmi O. N.
Bond would never have known
what was in existence in Illinois.
Next week, a trip is to fie taken
into that part of the field which
produces pearls, and where the
little kids, play with these prec
ious gems like the Georgia coons
.play with the water melons.
Carmi is a city of only 3000
population, but lias many brick
streets, and Rock roads raidiat
ing five different directions from
from the city.
On last Friday, a trip was
taken into Saline County which
adjoins White County on the
South west, and in which terri
tory numerous Coal mines are in
existence. We visited Eldorado,
which is at the North-east corner
of the coal fields, and from El
dorado we went to Harrisburg, a
distance of ten miles, on the In
terurban, road, and in this short
travel crossed many country
roads which were bricked just
the same as the city streets.
The people of these coal fields
were so glad to see a represen
tative of the Chero Cola plant
that they would run to their
front doors to welcome us as we
would pass by. Facts of the
case we were never given such a
welcome, in all our days. We
were made to feel just like King
Solomon was when he wol mined
Queen Sheba to his Temple. If
the Georgia people would only
take a vacation and visit this part
of the World they would soon
have the moss rubbed off their
backs, afid their trip \ ouhl ans
wer for two tilings “1 E” learn
to be neighborly, and the practice
of reciprocity, which means to
| exchange goods and wares, as
| the people up here are just as
backwards in so far as ever see
| ing the beautiful fields of cotton,
as some of the Georgia people
are in seeing fish growing on
trees.
Mr. Bond, expects to be at
home in a few weeks, at which
time rit will have more to tel!
of his trip to what is known as
Egypt, (So. 11l ) where the pec-
pie are every read to welcome
ail new comers, as they live by
the old adage, “Strangers
should be entertained whereby
Angels have been entertained
unaware.”

Education teaches how.
Education glorifies work.
Education reveals the noble
traditions of service.
Education encourages harm
less amusements.
Education teaches the love of
things that make life.
To educate a man is to render
his mind a true pattern of the
world he inhabits. Then what
ever happens in his world is re
produced as on a stage in the
chambers of thought.
His mind is awakened to its
power for coi rect expectations.
Things are understood before
hand. A few truths entertained
in his knowledge converse pro
phecies of all truth. Bis mind
lies awake for the coming of
knowlego. Things unheard of
are understood because they are
cousin to his mind, being the off
spring of a kindred universe.
They come to him not as queer
invaders but as kinsmen unseen
before.
The school fortunes of our
county are pausing for us. Wo
must act while toe tide is hold
ing high.
Right now the people of
Danielsville are earnestly in the
mind to develop a Central High
School for oui section. They
are enthusiastic. So much so that
most of the families have agreed
to take boarders at a low rate
until a dormitory can be Guilt
and the citizens have promised
Ii lie rill contributions for now
buildings.
I’lte fitness of Danielsville and
the needs of the section have
been recognised by an organi
zation that can help and will in
the near future, if the town and
the section act at ones on the en
couragement already given.
The proper response will he
for those who need ft central high
school to begin using the Daniels
villo school as such. If your
children have finished the home
school, if the home school is not
satisfactory, if your children are
too young for college, if you can
not pay college costs--send the
boys and girls to Danielsville.
Then when the interest of the
town and the section is shown in
a practical manner, our school
will he annexed to the great uni
versity system recently begun
iu Atlanta and will abide as one
of its foundation high school.s
The school will open next Mon
day Send your children that
first day. Let them see that you
set their school work in a higher
place than your own convenience
or profit. Let them have the
justice of an even start. Let
them begin while the beginning
spirit is fresh. Let the teachers
have the encouragement of large
attendance on the first morning.
