COTTON GROWERS MEETING
Speeches by Col. H. S. White of Sylvania and Hon.
Percival A. Stovall of Savannah.
Not in years has Sylvania wit
nessed such a turn out as that of
Tuesday last, the occasion being a
meeting . of the Screven County
Division of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association.
President Harvie Jordan had been
invited and fully expected, but at
the last moment he telegraphed his
. regrets.
Atlanta, Ga,, Nov. 12, 1905.
II. S. White, Sylvania, Ga.
Telegram and letter received; re
gret that imperative official business
will prevent my accepting your kind
invitation. Have begun active cam
paign for 15 cts; advise your people
to stand and they will get it.
Harvie Jordan.
Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall of the
Savannah Press showed up in a
charming manner. Mr. II. S. White
called the meeting to order at 11 a
m. and in a splendid 20 minute
speech introduced Mr. Stovall to the
best filled house he has faced in a
many a day. Standing room' was
even scarce and many could not get
m.
The invitation to the ladies to
come out was accepted in the proper
spirit and several hundred of them
were present. The speeches were
listened to with marked attention
and frequently punctuated with well
merited applause. Mr. Stovall
. finished at 12 noon and the crowd
repaired to the park where tables
were already spread. Baskets were not
deemed sufficient and food was pos
tively brought in trunks. The
pie ate all they wanted and the pqr-

The Most Beauti
ful Dress Goods
;* .
Quite eiegance is the key=note of the new woolen Dress Goods. The
colorings and patterns suggest a rich beauty of Autumn leaves. Plain or
plainish Fabrics are most in demand among ladies who follow the fashion.
While, the conservative mixtures, indistinct plaids and shadow checks
are also pronounced correct. >

ters, cooks and pigs took the remain
der. Both speekers were at their
best and the crowd was in full sym
pathy with the objects of the meet
ing and immensely enjoyed the treat.
The day was ideal and nothing oc
curred to mar the pleasures of the
occasion. Some forty new mem
bers were added to the roll.
Mr. Stovall talked briefly but in
terestingly on several other subjects
as he passed along in his cotton dis
course, towit: Education; peach
growing and good roads. The Tel
ephone only regrets that it has not
the space to give a synopsis of what
he said upon these several subjects.
His quick eye detected, even as he
rode along in the train, the improve
ments on our highways that our
convicts are making under the wise
policy of our county officials, which
will continue for all time, without
doubt.
Mr. Stovall spoke encouraging
words to those who were giving
some attention to the peach culture;
how profitable it was and, with care,
how certain is the crop. All north
Georgia is in a whirl of excitement
over the results from the peach crop
of the past two or three years.
On the subject of education he ur
ged the people of Screvon County to
vote taxes upon themselves and so
I educate their children so as to fit
| them for life’s struggle that success
j will wait upon their efforts; that no
j heritage was so great as a good cuu
cation; that in many of the avenues
business pitfalls Lurked that
j might strip a man of his propeity m

a day or an hour, but the great foun
dation of his business life—his edu
cation would remain as a safety
fund upon which he could re-estab
lish himself. Another view was that
education lessened crime and that if
we built more school houses we
should need less jails, penitentiaries
and work-houses and that we should
save thousands of dollars now spent
in prosecuting criminals, to say no
thing of the tears and sorrows of the
victims of the lawless. Ilis opening
and closing remarks so laudatory of
of Mr, Harvie Jordan as to leave no
doubt of his friendship for that dis
tinguished Georgian
Mr. Stovall was heartily greeting
by our people and was at once taken
in charge by lion. E. K. Overstreet
(his legislative colleague, from this
county) and by Col. H. S. White;
Judge J. W. Overstreet and others,
and shown Screven county courtesy;
and when a great delegation fol
lowed him to the train to see him off
he undoubtedly felt that he had
spent a day among friends.

THERE IS MONEY IN
GROWING GINSENG
Prof. Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says:
“I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are
realized. It is a hardy plant and is easily grown.”-A bulletin is
sued .by the Pennsylvania State College in part says: “The supply
of native Ginseng root is rapidly diminishing, and the price per
pound is corresponding, while the constant demand for the drug in
China stands as a guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng in the
future.”—Consul General Rublee of Hong Kong says in the l S.
Counsulor reports: The sale of Ginseng root grown in America is
very large here and the demand is so great that much more could
be disposed of advantageously. The root is as indispensable to the
four-hundred-million Chinese as is their rice."
Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and
cotton. The present market price varies from $6.00 to $8.50 per
pound, while the cost of producing is less than $1.50. It. is easy to
grow and requires very little ground. An acre of matured Ginseng
is worth $40,000. Three is room in one’s garden to grow several
hundred dollars worth each year. The plant thrives through the
i’nited States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow gar
den vegetables. We sell roots and seeds for planting purposes and
can show you lmw to make money growing Ginseng. There are
two planting seasons, spring and fall. With each order we give
full instructions how to plant and care for the garde;-.. You van
get a good start in this business for a small outlay and soon have a
nicer income, Send two cent stamp to lay for lit ora: ore tolling Hi
