South Africa contributed the greatest

$80,000,000, Russia about $26,000,000

Mrs. J. D. Faver Dies In LaGrange.
Our community was plunged in deep
est grief on Sunday last ny the an
nouncement of the death of Mrs. John
D. Faver, which occurred late Satur
day night at her home in LaGrange.
Mrs. Faver had been ill but a few
weeks, and her death was a great shock
to her Newnan friends, many of whom
were not aware of tho serious nature
of her illness. Following an operation
on Monday of last week she began
rapidly to decline, and although given
the best medical attention and tender-
est nursing, death mercifully ended her
sufferings on Saturday night, and she
peacefully passed away surrounded by
the loved ones of her family. To the
heartbroken young husband our heart
goes out in silent sympathy, for only we
who have passed through the valley of
the shadow can realize the void that
has thus been created in his young life
-a life that but yesterday gave prom
ise of fulfilling all that is cherished in
human happiness. But the golden link
has been shattered and the sweet spirit
of her who was bound to him has been
stilled, and only Time can soften the
keener edge of a sorrow for which there
is no earthly surcease.
The remains of Mrs. Faver were
brought to Newnan Sunday morning,
being accompanied from LaGrange by an
honorary escort from the Elks’ Lodge,
an organization with which Mr. Faver
was prominently connected. The fu
neral took place Monday morning from
the Presbyterian church, services being
conducted by Rev. J. E. Hannah, as
sisted by Dr. R. J. Bigham, Rev. W.
J. Cotter and Rev. Giltress Herndon,
E ast or of the Presbyterian church at
aGrange. In the short and beautiful
service tender eulogies were paid to
the life and character of the deceased,
after which the body was laid to rest
in Oak Hill cemetery.
Tho floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful—mute testimonials of
the esteem in which deceased was held.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. D. S.
Cuttino, D. T. Manget, T. J. Fisher,
J. S. Hardaway, jr., Wynn Smith, F.
G. Hughes, N. L. North, B. M. Black
burn and J. H. Powell.
In speaking of the prospective race
for Congress in the Seventh Congres
sional district between Hon. Gordon
Leo and Judgo Mose Wright, the Ma
rietta Nows, one of tho most influenti
al newspapers in the district has this to
say: “Judgo Wright is a pleasing
speaker, polished in manner and langu
age, and will meet with some encour
agement in tho district. But The News
belioves he is making a mistake in run
ning at this time. Hon. Gordon Lee
has shown himself so fitted for the
place by what ho has done and is doing
for his constituents that they are not
going to change him for another. They
do not doubt Judge Wright; but they
know Mr. Lee. Moro than 11,000 of the
voters of the district have informed
Mr. Lee that they thought ho should
again run; and no man of patriotism
such ns he can well resist the offer of
their support for the high office. Wo
would not mind supporting Judge
Wright for something; but we must
now support Mr. Lee for Congress.
Never swap'll good horse off unless you
know you are getting a better one.”
During a debate in Congress one day
last week upon the question of the tar
iff and consequent high prices, Con
gressmen Heflin, of Alabama, charged
the Republicans with being responsible
for the high cost of living. Never be
fore, he declared, had it cost so much
to produce a crop of cotton as during
the past year, the high cost of living
living having increased the cost of the
crop. "If you Republicans of the
North had a monopoly of cotton such
as we have,” he said, “you would
make us pay 20 cents a pound for it
•every year, and then try to convince us
.it was cheap at that price.”

LaGrange Graphic. 2d inst.
After a serious illness lasting through
several weeks, Mrs. John D. Faver
died at her residence on Main street
Saturday night about 11 o’clock.
Mrs. Faver was one of LaGrange’s
most popular and charming young mat
rons, and her death brings sorrow to
many friends in this city. Mrs. Faver,
before her marriage, was Miss Sadie
Mae Powel, of Newnan, having mar
ried in January of last year. As a
bride she came to this city to make her
home a little more than a year ago, and
her winning'personality and charming
manners soon formed around her a
large circle of friends. Mrs. Faver is
survived by her husband, mother, two
brothers and six sisters, and her death
comes to them with crushing sorrow.
The remains were carried to Newnan
Sunday, where the funeral took place
from the Presbyterian church on Mon
day morning.
A body of the Elks, about twenty in
dumber, went as an escort with the fu
neral party Sunday to Newnan.
The many friends of Mr. Faver sym
pathize deeply with him in the great
sorrow which he has suffered.

What a Bumper Cotton Crop Wil
Mean.
Macon Telegraph.
A bumper cotton crop this year, with
a still further reduction in the grain
and root crops and consequent advance
in the prices of these latter, will bring
bankruptcy to the all-cotton farmers in
a single twelve months.
The ugliest prospect now in view
the steadily advancing price of every-
thing that one has to buy. I.et cotton
fall to, or below the cost of production
and the farmer who does not raise his
own supplies will go to tho wall within
thirteen moons.
Notwithstanding the advent of the
automobile, horses and mules show an
increase in value of 160 per cent.; pork
has increased 82 per cent.; lard 11 per
cent.; tallow, 65 per cent.; anthracite
and bituminous coal, 20 to 42 per cent,
respectively.
within two years farm land in the
West and Middle West has doubled
value.
