COTTON
Notwithstanding the great efforts
made by interests in conflict with the
ootton planter, the price has held at a
figure jet too far below what cotton
should be worth according to the best
opinion of men who have made all
features of this business a life-time
study. With a short crop for two years,
with a world’s supply much less than
normal demand, with milling interests
holding short supplies for their needs,
it seems certain that if the farmer con
tinues to hold his cotton, he will get
his price.
Upon good authority we are told that
milling interests only sent rep
resenteatives into tiiis community "for
the purpose of ascertains the conditions
and the ‘‘state of mind" of the farmer
who jet holds his cotton. We feel sure
that they found a determined spirit up
on the part of the farmer to bold his
cotton until the manufacturers are
readj- to pay a fair price, a price above
0 -afe
what it costs to produce'the staple. We
feel’•sure that the need for cotton is
rapidly becoming so acute that it will
take more monej- to buy it than the
price now registered by the New York
exchange as its value. And with the
coming of each day makes more sure
the victory of the farmer over the trad
er.
Hold to your cotton. It is worth more
money than you can get for It today.
A GREAT STEP FORWARD
•
That the Board of County Commis
sioners are alive to the needs of the
county with respect to good roads was
strikingly evidenced yesterday at its
meeting when competent and expert
engineers were employed to survey the
roads of the county for the purpose of
furnishing an estimate of the cost and
distribution of work on the roads of
the county. This was done as the first
step to submit a bond issue to the peo
ple for ratification for permanent- high
ways.
The need for roads has passed the ar
gumentative stage. It is a universal
need, universally acknowledged. It has
l>c-ome a matter of accomplishement
and Bartow county must not lag and
be ome a back number among the
pecjde of the state. It is a question of
county wide, state wide and nation
wide importance.
*- P ,
Our futrue prosperity, out ability id
get the products of our toil to market
cheaply, our desire to quickly take
part in the work of reconstructing otlt'
niateti:il interests, depends upon the
character of our highways. The nature
id the work is essentially permanent
and the fruits of our labors now are
to be enjoyed by future generations,
and the future citizens of our county',
ras well as by ourselves. Hence, these
,imV' , ovements should be undertaken in
;the careful, hut immediate efforts of
our counts board, and should be done
through a bond issue, which distrib
utes the cost among those of to-day, as
well us among those who are to follow,
as the benefits should.
' The people of the county should unite
‘as one in this great work. Let us man
ifest a spirit of unity of purpose. Let
<us prove ourselves worthy of our exis
%%feee. Let u<J set an example of wil
lingness to do our full part toward sup
plying a need of paramount importance
in the work of development of the un
told material possibilities of our great
county.

sUcn out Of war work find VqsUfat to the

There must not be any idle hands.
We need to get busy. A “demobiliza

SUBSCRIPTION
INCREASE COMING
A publisher’s troubles never jpease.
After safetly negotiating the period
during the war, with constantly soar
ing cots of news print, ink, labor, pos
tage and everything else that goes in
to the production of a newspaper, in
dications are that a bill increasing
! the cost of mailing newspapers will
soon go into effect and that this in
crease is coming right away.
During the period of the war this
newspaper has done everything pos
sible to avoid increasing its subscrip
tion price, whereas it would have been
perfectly justified in doing so. By con
serving paper, ink and through other
measures of economy, the publisher
has been able to continue selling his
paper for its pre-war price, $1.50 per
year. With the coming increase in pos
tage there remains nothing for the
publisher to do other titan increase the
price of the Times to $2.00, or pos
sibly $2.50 per year, or sell his paper
at a loss, which he will not do.
Many papers in other parts of the
state have already increased their rates
and thej' are perfectly justified in do
ing so. The day of the dollar weekly
:s past 'and in the future publishers
will and must receive two dollars or
more, or lose money each week.
In our neighboring county there is
published one of the best papers in the
state. The Bartow Tribune-News,
which for years has sold at SI.OO and
*1.50 per years. A few weeks ago it in
creased its rale to $2.50 per year and as
a result has lost very few subscribers.
The Tribune-News was perfectly jus
tified in increasing its rate, as it gives
the people of that county a live, newsy
paper each week.
The Times takes this opportunity to
place all subscribers on notice that its
subscription price must soon be raised
and those who send in their advance
subscriptions now will not be asked to
pay the increased rate. If you have
not sent your subscription, do so at
once. Postal regulations require all
subscriptions to be paid in advance
and subsci itir.ro cvv.t expect us to vio
late these regulations.—Cobb County
Times.

BUILD YOUR COMMUNITY
INTO SAFETY
THE BEST insurance against a
growth of Socialism and Bolshe
vism is the employment in profitable
work of our entire population.
The world is in flux. In this crucial
hour —this plastic stage of civilization
.—we can mould America into a solid
and enduring permanency of character;
or we can let it be misshapen and dis
torted until like some great evil full of
ugliness it becomes “set” and adaman
tine for wrong.
if in this hour of world changes, of
false teachings, of hell-directed activ
ities, we leave idle bodies brains,
we shall find the devil making full use
of them as his workshop.
We must be busy making all men
husj.
We must expand our railroads, build
a vast system of highways, improve the
small cross-roads, pave our streets,
build dwellings by the hundreds of
thousands, that for every family there
shall be an opportunity for a dewlling
with modern conveniences. Baltimore,
for instance, has not for many years
permitted a single dwelling to be built
without a bath-room and its sanitary
advantages. Other cities and towns
must do the same. Farmhouses, even of
tlie poorest tenants, must be made sani
tarj and comfortable. Waterworks and
sewerage systems must be built wher-

Mr. F. S. Royster, President of the
F. S. l-toj’ster Guano Company, says
that the part of his mail which he likes
[best consists of the letters from far
[mers who write him about the actual
I use of his goods, the results in the
I fields, crops grown, etc. No matter
• how many problems of business man
agement may present themselves, he
[is more deeply interested than anything
else in the actual user of his goods.
He believes that this is the vital part
of the business, because if the consum
er is satisfied, success will follow of
itself. In his life-time experience in
the fertilizer business lie has proven
this theory pretty conclusively, as the
sals of the Royster brands has shown
a growth that is unprecendented. Those
who would like to have the benefit of
his broad experience in soil fertilitj
would do well to write him at Nor

TAFT HEARD BY
GREAT THRONGS
AT PE ACE MEET
Ex-President One of the Out
standing Members of Galaxy
of National Stars—Solidly
Behind President Wilson.
Cartersville and Bartow County were
well-represented at the meetings held
last Friday and Saturday in Atlanta,
under the auspices of The League to
Enforce Peace. The program outlined
by President Wilson was unqualified
ly endorsed, and enthusiasm was indeed
great throughout tlie course of the mo
mentous occasion. .
Among tho’se present were Rev. and
Mrs. L. G. Hames. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar
T. Peeples, Mrs. Corra Harris of Rydal,
Mrs. Sam P. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. R.
Pyron, Judge George H. Aubrey, Mr.
W C Henson, P. C. Flemlster, W. W.
Daves, Hampton Field, John T. Norris,
M L Fleetwood, J. W. Jackson, W. D.
Trippe, of Taylorsville, and J. M. Elrod,
of White.
One of the delegates attending the
Atlanta meeting thus summarizes his
impressions:
Regardless ol what tlie people of the
United States may think of the pro
posed League of Nations they have
given certain evidence of their ap
proval of the recent tour of a group
of leading Americans in the effort to
draw attention to such an organiza
tion.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw put the mat
ter as tersely as one can desire when
she said at the beginning of her ad
dress on Friday evening, "I do not
know anything about the proposed
League of Nations and I don't think
you do, but I do know that I am ready
to join hands with you to break up the
league for war.”
This is tlie psychology of the tremen -
dous seriousness with which the Amer
ican people have responded vo the tour
of the group throughout the nation
stopping at nine of the leading cities.
The big auditorium in Atlanta was a
test at how the meeting on Fridaj and
Saturday was regarded by this part f
the country. I did not expect to see the
first floor filled. But it will be re'
membered that some time before the
program began on both evenings that
the third balcowy was well filled. It
reminded one of a grand opera aud
ience with Caruso. Farrar and Gluck
on the program. The- house was packed.

j sonnet of Mr. Taft’s party. Tf Is seldom
that such a widely representative group
of people can be brought together for
so extended a trip as is represented in
the recent scheduling from Boston, a
cross the Continent and back to New
I Y ork.
To begin with Mr. Taft lends a touch
of meaning to any body of men and
women that can hardly be secured in
any other personality in our nation just
now—even something distinct from Mr.
Wilson. In other words, he makes a
good center for the team and j'ou can
build up a platform scene about him
that is hard to beat. *
-
He presided at all the meetings. He
is a good presiding officer. He possess
es a rare sense of humor—so sadly
lacking in many presiding officials. He
keeps his audience in good order and
always makes you feel free and infor
mal.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw must at once
j be given first place in the outstanding
personalities among the leading women
of our nation at this time—certainly
platform personality and public speak
ing effectiveness. She sat next to Mr.
Taft at most of the meetings. Her
white hair and her elegance of person
alitj- combined to create a most desir
able atmosphere of sj'mpathy and good
. will for all the sessions. Instead of won
dering whether a woman should be on
the platform for such an occasion jou
found yourself immediately under the
impress of her personality as she sat
there and seemed to feel so deeply* the
seriousness of tlie whole world.
Introduces Dr. Shaw
Mr. Taft made one of the most strik
ing addresses of the session when he in-
I troducedDr. Shaw. He had already dei
livered his principal address on Friday
evening at the luncheon, but when on
Friday evening he got up to introduce
Mrs. Shaw, he seemed to say in a very
few words just what he wanted to say
about the spirit of his ideal of the Leag
ue of Nations,
