COTTON SITUATION.
Vlmu*. Ga., Not. 27.—(Special)—
ti ' S[ . lte Bureau of -Markets of the
Deirtment of Agriculture
r° , issued the following state
relative to the cotton situation,
will be of interest to Georgia
farmers generally.
..The State Bureau of Markets of
•he Department of Agriculture desires
call the attention of the farmers of
Borgia to the unusual conditions
# . hich have developed in the cotton
market, following the action of
the government food administration,
jn regulating supplies held by buyers
sad mill men,
“The principal government regula
tion which, it is said, has been used
bv those interested to bring about the
downward tendency in the price of
cotton seed, is an order directed by
the food administration bureau to
mills and buyers, prohibiting them
from having on hand at one time
more than 60 days supplies, or just
•enough 'to keep them going for 52
working days.
■•The natural result of this order is
that those mills which have on haaid
all <he supplies they are allowed to
carry, are temporarily out of the
market, and the price has been af
fected accordingly.
“It should be clearly and distinctly
understood, however, that the govern
ment has in no sense .sought to regu
late either supply or price of seed in
the hands of the producer; and the j
farmer who lias seed of his own pro
duction. regardless of where he has
it stored, may hold it just as long as
he wishes, without fear of government
interference. It is only necessary
that he shall have produced the seed
himself, and that title to it shall rest
in him.
‘•if there is seed enough in the
bands of the farmers, and it should be
held until the amount allow-ed the
crushers is consumed, when they
would have to go back into the
market, it is reasonable to assume
that with competition in the open
market thus restored, the price will
return to what it should be.
“It is impossible, of course, for any
one to tell what manipulators, taking
advantage of the least opportunity
that may be offered them, will be
able to do with the market; but it is
and always has been the opinion of
Do You Want the Bartow County Fair
To CONTINUE?
The directors of the Fair, and the heads of the var
ious departments, have worked hard and faithfully for four
years to make the fair a success, and so far as the fair has
beenconcerned-asa fair-IT HAS BEEN A SUCCESS.
People who know, say the Bartow County Fair
puts on more attractions for the prices charged
than any other fair in the south; and yet—
With the exception of the first year, the manage
ment has had to finance a deficit at the close of each fair.
Which Means- -that the fair has not been properly
patronized to pay the cost of putting it on.
Which Means— that the people of our county have not
attended and supported the fair as they should have done.
And this means and leads the management to
say: If the people of this county don’t want the
fair to continue, then the management will take
speedy steps to wind it up,-and there will be no
FAIR next year.
this bureau that the price of cotton
seed should be maintained on pnacUc
ally the same parity with hog lard.
Before the war began and since cot
ton seed oil has sold at about 2 cents
a pound under hog lard, and has
steadily maintained that position
now it is selling at 8 cents a pound
less than hog lard, and the differ
ence is too great. It is dear, as we
see it, that cotton seed products are
not bringing enough, and in our opin
ion the crushers should uphold the
price of their own products, rather
than to permit inroads to be made
upon that of the farmer’s product.
"The bureau presents the foregoin*.
simply as a statement of facts con
cerning certain phases of the situa
tion, and trusts that the farmers of
Georgia will be able to profit by it.”
In memory and honor of a beloved
Friend and Comrade, Mr. John
Lewis, of Cartersville.
When news came to me a few days
ago that Mr. had died suddenly
at his home in Cartersville, i was
made to feel sad. He felt very near
to me. He was the last one with me
at the surrender of the war, after the
last guns were fired. We belonged to
the Bth Georgia Bat., Company A.
and was in much hard fighting. Much
could be said of his trueness as a
soldier. We stacked our guns at
Greensboro. X. C„ and taken up a
long march for home in Bartow
County to be with our loved ones and
sweethearts. There is nothing so
great as i*eace and love. Brother
Lewis was a true citizen always
meeting all of his duties and; ob
ligations, as well as hie friends- with
the same modest, gentle smile. A
true soldier, a good citizen, a success,
leaving a good inheritance.
I deeply sympathize with his loved
one in the loss of such a cherished
one. May God bless all that was near
and dear to our beloved comrade and
friend.
May tfaeli bereaved children lead a
beautiful Christian life as their father
did, so when the Lord sees fit to call
ycu, where he is you may be also.

THINK OF IT.
To have to say to the public abroad that the peo

BEST COUNTY in the State of Georgia, CANNOT
Support Their County Fair, and it has had to be CLOS
ED, because the people of the county did not give it their
help and support.
Are you willing for this to be done? That the Fair
be pronounced a FAILURE?
i
Surely Not==We are not willing to wind up
its affairs and say it is a FAILURE unless
YOU say to.
Therefore if you want it to continue, put aside your
business for one day and come to the Court House, in
Cartersville on December 5 th, to a mass meeting of the
good people of the county, at which time it will be-decid
ed either to CONTINUE the fair or to CLOSE it.

There is more Catarrh lu this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, sod
until the last tew years wag supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it-a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly (ailing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
aud therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by K. J.
Cheney & Cos., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu
tlonhl cure ou the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars for
