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. 'i ou want farm conditions bet tered - all of us do --Htre’s the opportunity! One candidate for road coin >sioner in Madison made a Promise to the Harrison district V'-ters to spend every dollar re eved from that district on the ( 'unty road therein; another s.’ii that every dollar road tax received from the Harrison vo hrs would be doubled bv the County and this fund spent in I'ud work in Harrison, and ev ei '.V dollar contributed by the hj rn of Roystun would brin v t nee extra ones from the coun -I■' treasury to be spent on the Harrison district road. After a these years, Harrison has a l tty decent show at roads now °ce one of these men were successful. SucMen’s Arnica salvr Ihe Salve in The Woild The Danielsville Monitor 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. A. L. SARDY. Fight the Army Worm 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. M. V.

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.” GOOD BYE.

Repairing a Specialty. ROYSTON. —: GEORGIA NUMBER THE DANIELSVILLE SCHOOL 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. Are You a Woman ?
