ENCOURAGE THE CORN CLUE
BOYS.
No single endeavor along agricultural
lines has been of more benefit to Coweta
county, or has brought more Burprising
returna, than has resulted from the
organization two or threo years ago of a
Boys' Corn Club. Beginning with a
limited membership, and laboring at
first under many disadvantages, the
record made in corn production has
proved a revelation to our farmers, a
majority of whom have been accustom
ed to gotting from ten to fifteen buBhels
per acre. Experiments made by the
Boys' Corn Club have demonstrated
that fifty to Boventy-fivc bushels can
be produced as easily (and almost as
cheaply) as the smaller yield mentioned,
and the object lesson thus furnished
has had a wonderful effoct in stimu
lating corn production. Every section
of tho county has caught the enthusi
asm, with tho result that Coweta will
raise the present year the greatest
com crop in her history.
Now to tho point. The BoyB’ Corn
Club should be encouraged. It has
done, and is doing, a great work, the
larger benefits from which cannot now
be fairly estimated. Prizce should be
given at the county exhibit to be held
in Nownan on Nov. 12, and a liberal
fund for this purpose should be raised
at onco, in ordor that the mombers of
the club may have something to look
forward to. Every business house and
bank in Newnan should contribute
to the fund, and bo glad to do bo. Over
sixty boys in tho county have premium
acres this year, the total yiold from
which is worth, at tho present price
of corn, at least $,‘1,000. Encourage
them by stimulating their ambition to
make even a better showing next year.
It will pay in a thousand ways.
Wo print below communications from
Dr. Wm. Bradford, district agent of
Boys’ Corn Clubs, and County School
Superintendent Pondorgraat, to which
we invito a careful reading—
"To Corn Club boys: If there is any
member of a boys' Corn Club that wo
are more interested in than another it
is tho bov who hue had hard luck this
year, and whoso corn yiold hus boon a
disappointment to him. Wo particular
ly desire a enroful and full roport from
every such boy. W o also especially re
quest that all such boys, who havo from
any cause failed to got a good crop on
their acres, go right ahead and gather
and meaBuro tho yield, juBt as if they
had n hundred bushels or moro. And
be suro to come to the county contest
and bring your final report nnd ten of
the beat ears of corn you have. And
let tho boys bear in mind that tho
award of prizes is not made on yield
alone, but on yield, profit, report and
10-car exhibit. It sometimes occurs
that the boy with tho largest yield
Iobos the first prize for lack of atten
tion to tho otlior throe points—profit,
roport and exhibit. The boy who is
careful and painstaking in Ins work all
tho way through is oftenest tho winner.
"Boys, sow your acre that you have
used this year to small grain and pre
pare another acre for your corn crop in
11)14. Wo must have more than one
rich acre on tho farm. Now is tho
time to bogin preparation for next
year's crop. Wm. Bradford,
"Ass't Agent for Corn Clubs.
"Ccdartown, Ga., Sept. 19, 1913.”
The teachers and trustees of tho
various school districts are hereby re
quested to look after tho moasuremont
of the acreage and yiold of tho patches
cultivated this year by tho boyB of tho
County Com Club. Neither more nor
less than one acre is to be considered
in this work.
Should tho persons mentioned above
fail to do this work, the boys of the
Corn Club are authorized to have it
done by any two disinterested, intelli
gent citizens.
Our county corn exhibit will be hold
in my office on Nov. 12, 1913. A letter
concerning this exhibit is being sent to
each member of the County Corn Club.
Following is a copy of tho letter—
"Dear Corn Club Members:—Your
county corn club contest will be held at
Newnan on Nov. 12, 1913. Be sure to
be there with with your report No.
542, filled out und complete. Also
carry ten ears of well-selected corn for
an exhibit. This exhibit will be sent
to your district contest, and latter to
Atlanta, where thousands of people
will sec it. So, select well-developed
ears of the same size, color, color of
cob, etc,, os these will count towurd
winning the prizes. Now that you
boys have succeeded so well in growing
com, we are anxious to have you begin
growing an aero of oats, followed with
cow-peas. This will give you two
crops on one acre per year, and at the
same time build up your soil. This fall
is a fine time to begin. Prizes will be
offered next year to the uoys who make
the most oats and hay per acre at the
least expense. So begin now for this
work, ><> connection with your com
club work. The State Corn Show will
be held at Atlanta on Dec. 2 l>. 1913.
Attend this show, if you possibly can.

At the request of Attorney-General
McReynolds, head of the Department
of Justice, Hon. F. C. Tate has ten
dered his resignation as District At
torney for the Northern District of
Georgia, and Hon. Hooper Alexander,
of Atlanta, has been named by the
President to succeed him. Mr. Alex
ander had the indorsement of Senator
Hoke Smith, whose word seems to
carry sufficient weight with the Wilson
administration to get anything he asks
for. We are of the opinion, however,
that Senator Smith might have gone t
bit farther and done a great deal bob
ter in his choice of a fit successor to so
good a man as Carter Tate.
Consideration of the tariff bill in
Congress is now in the final stage of
deliberation, and may roach the Presi
dent early next week. That tho moaB-
uro will bo paBBed in practically the
shape demanded by President Wilson
seemB now to be assured, and is a dis
tinct triumph for the Administration,
whatever may be said against it by
those whose interests will be injuriously
affected by the bill.
The State Fair, which opens in Macon
on Oct. 21, promises to be the greatest
exhibit of agricultural products and
live stock ever held in the South. Fif
teen thousand dollars in cash premiums
will bo awarded for tho best exhibits
in tho various departments. The fair
will last ten dayB, and each day will bo
a big one. For particulars read the an
nouncement appearing on another page
of this paper.
Full Particulars of the Tragic Death
of Jack Lowe Woodroof.
The first authentic information sb to
the manner in which Jack Lowe Wood-
roof met hiB death in the Philippine
Islands on Aug. 13, and the circum
stances attending the tragic occurrence,
is contained in a clipping from the Ma
nila (P. I.) Daily News of Aug. 14, which
was received by the family this week.
His many friendB in Newnan have not
yet recovered from the shock caused by
the brief cable announcement of the
death of this bright and promising
young man, and they will read with in
terest tho account of the accident given
by the Manila paper. It Beeme that
Mr. Woodroof was going to hiB work
about 5:30 a. m. when the accident oc
curred, which was wholly due to the
carelessness of the chauffeur in charge
of the machine. Details of the sad
mishap are thus furnished by the
Manila News—
“A chauffeur asleep at the wheel of his
machine, as it sped along the Alabang
road, was the causeof the death of Jack
Lowe Woodroof, the surveyor who was
crushed to death at an early hour yester
day morning, when the car toppled over
an embankment. Matins Ordena, the
chauffeur, has admitted to the police
and constabulary authorities that he was
aleop nt the time the car went over
the bank. The tracks loft by the
wheolB of the auto were plainly visible
when tho relief party arrived, showing
that the car hud loft the center of
the road Borne fifty feet from where
it went over the bank, running on the
grass alongside of the roadway. The
uccident was discovered first by the
road caminero on that section, and re-
( inrted by him to tho presidente of Las
’inus. The latter investigated, but
could find no truce of the driver, who
had walked through his town while it
was still dark, on his way to Manila.
He will bo asked to explain why he re
turned to Manila, instead of proceeding
to Alnbnng, only a kilometer and a half
distant.
Mr. Woodroof was to have sailed
yesterday for Cebe, to undertake cer
tain work for the division of port
works. He native of Newnan, Ga.,
and a graduate of Cleinson College,
South Carolina, huving graduated in
1906. Ho came to the Philippines in
the fall of that year, as a surveyor in
tho Bureau of LandB, resigning April
1, 1912. After ranking a number of pri
vate surveys he again entered tho
Government service, as a surveyor in
tho works of the port division.
"Jack Lowe Woodroof was 29 years
of age, and single. He recently left
tho Bureau of LandB, and was stationed
for yeurs at Iloilo, in charge of the
bureau surveys in the three provinces
of Panay. Upon his separation from
that bureau he entered the Bureau of
Navigation, as a surveyor in the works
of tho port division. He has also
made a number of private surveys re
cently.”
The same mail brought Mrs. Wood
roof tho follow ng letter from Capt. K.
S. Heck, a close friend of the young
man, giving additional particulars of
the accident—
"Manila, P. L, Aug. 16, 1913.
“My Dear Mrs. Woodroof: It occurs
to me that, since Jack had been away
from home a number of years in a for
eign land, beyond your range of obser
vation, it might to some extent miti
gate the sufferings o< his mother, (of
whom Jack always spoko so tenderly,)
to know something of the impression
he made upon his friends and acquaint
ances in the Philippine Islands.
"Officially, Jack was one of my sub
ordinates at the time of his death; but,
aside from that fact, he was mure like
a brother, and 1 wish to extend to you
and your entire family my most sincere
and heartfelt sympathy. 1 had known
Jack since 1908, when I met him in
Iloilo, where he was engaged on work
for the Bureau of Lands, and 1 think 1
can safely say that there never was i
better-hearted boy in the Philippine Is
lands—or, for that matter, anywhere
else—than Jack Woodroof. Straight
forward, honest, generous to a fault,
and a thorough gentleman at all limes.
He believed in having a good time, and
had it, moving always in the best socie
ty, and was a favorite with all who
knew him. I don't believe he had
single enemy, American, Filipino or
foreigner, in the Philippine Islands.
As evidence of his standing, I might
mention that I have before me a list of
names and telephone numbers as long
as this page, of people who wish to be
advised of every new development re
garding the sending home of the re
mains, etc.
“The accident which led to his un
timely death is doubly lamentable for
the reason that it waa due absolutely to
the stupidity of the Filipino chauffeur,
who full asleep and ran his machine
over an embankment, where it over
turned and Jack was crushed beneath
it. At the autopsy it developed that
there were no bones broken, at d every
thing seemed to indicate that ilie
weight of the car waa so great Ihst he
was unable to breathe, aid was prnba
blv simply smothered Had there been
help close at hand, it is barely possible
that he might have been saved; but he
wbb alone, and the accident occurred at
night, at a point some distance from
the city and from any house, and when
help finally arrived it waa too late.
"Knowing Judge Powell, of the Court
of First Instance at Iloilo, to be a
friend of the family, I cabled him im
mediately after the accident, advising
him of the sad results, and I now have
before me a letter from the Judge ask
ing further detailB, which I have fur
nished him.
"Upon receipt of your cable request
ing that the body be sent to New York,
I suggested to the Attorney-General,
who Ib designated by law to take charge
of such matters, that a second cable
be sent advising you of the fact that it
is sometimes difficult to obtain trans
portation that way, and that considera
ble delay might follow. At that time,
however, it was believed by the Attor
ney-General that transportation could
be secured by a vessel due to arrive at
Manila within a few days, and the ca
ble was not sent at that time, though
you may have received one sent while
this letter was en roate.
“When Jack’s financial affairs are
straightened out by the Attorney-Gen
eral there will probably be little, if any,
balance to the credit of the estate, due
largely to his over-generosity in ex
tending credit and fending money to
friends whoBe sense of honor and hon
esty were not up to the high standard
set by Jack.
"Meanwhile, if I can be of any ser
vice to you, Mrs. Woodroof, don’t hesi
tate for a moment to let me know your
wishes. "Sincerely yours,
“K. S-. Heck,
"Assistant Director of Navigation,”
The family received advices from the
War Department yesterday stating that
Mr. Woodroof’s remains left Manila on
Friday last and will reach New York
about Nov. 20. Allowing for the usual
delay in transhipment, the body should
arrive at Newnan not later than Nov.
22.
