NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JULY 17.
Attention, “Fans!”
Do you want to continue baseball in
Newnan? Do you want to win the pen
nant'.' Are you satisfied with the record
made by the team this year? If so,
help along the cause by making a
generous subscription to the baseball
association. The directors must raise
money at once, and every man in New-
nan should willingly contribute to this
fund. It takes a goodly sum to run a
team, and the small attendance during
the entire season has further embar
rassed tho baseball association. The di
rectors have made good their promise
to put a winning team in the Held, and
Newnan is now perched at the top of
the ladder, where she will stay until
the season ends if lovers of the game
will furnish the money. Every contri
bution will help the cause, and the di
rectors will call on every man in New
nan. Loosen up, boys; don’t be a
"tightwad.”
Remember, LaGrange comes Monday
for a four-game series, and the old
park should be packed during these
games, as there will be a "hot time in
the old town” when we take LaGrange
into camp.
President McWhorter Has a Word
For Boys’ Corn Club.
To the Members of the Coweta Coun
ty Boys’ Corn Club: I received notice
a" few days ago from Mr. H. G. Wiley,
demonstration agent for Coweta coun
ty, of my election to the presidency of
the Coweta County Boys’ Corn Club.
1 wish to express, through the columns
of The Herald and Advertiser, my ap
preciation for the confidence and trust
reposed in electing me to this important
office, and promise, on my part, to use
every effort to promote the interest of
this great organization.
I trust that we may not in the least
become discouraged over the prospect
of a small yield this year in some sec
tions of the county, but that everyone
will remain in the contest to the finish.
You know, boys, success does not de
pend on never failing, but on rising ev
ery time you fail. Remember that you
are in one of the biggest businesses in
the State; for, verily, nothing has done
more in the past few years to increase
the material wealth of Georgia than
the few thousand boys and girls enlist
ed in the Boys’ Corn Clubs and Girls’
Canning Clubs; and the past is only the
beginning of what this great movement
means to Georgia and to the South.
It is the ambition of your president
and secretary, assisted by our efficient
county demonstrator, Mr. H. G. Wiley,
Boon to plan for the securing of prizes
for the best yields. We trust by an
other year more of the boys will enter
the three-acre contest—corn, peas and
cotton—in order that they may have a
chance to win more of the prizes offered
by the various organizations.
We trust that each boy will keep an
accurate account of the cost of produc
tion on each acre. This, within itself,
is a great factor in the boy’s education.
Due notice will be given before the
next meeting of the clubs, and when
such notice is given we want to urge
everyone to be present.
Thanking you again for the honor
conferred upon me, in my election to
this office, 1 am Yours truly,
T. N. McWhorter.
Sharpsburg, Ga., July 15th.
Sow Winter Cover Crops This Fall.
There is not a thinking farmer in the
county who does not know that the con
tinuous cotton dropping which we have
followed for many years has been detri
mental to our farming lands. By this
system the land has been robbed of its
fertility, and much of it will no longer
produce profitable crops until the fer
tility is restored. The one element
lacking in nearly all of our cotton-sick
lands is humus. Restore this and we
will see our farms grow profitable crops
and our farmers prosper, hut continue
to lessen the already small supply of
humus and we will see our crops grow
smaller and less profitable, and our
farms abandoned.
The progressive farmer wants to
know how this can be done most rapidly
and most economically. One method is
to adopt a good system of crop rota
tion, and adhere to it. This system
Bhould include at least two leguminous
crops to be turned under out of three
years. This is a very sure and inex
pensive method of renovating wornout
lands, but naturally it is somewhat
slow.
Another method is to grow as much
live stock on the farm as can be han
dled, always putting the manure back
on the land from which the hay supply
was cut. This will cut the fertilizer
bills in half and will leave the land in
shape to make a better crop next year.
This method will call for the outlay of
some money in the beginning, but as
the herd gradually increases the money
invested will return, bearing a good
rate of interest.
A third method of supplying humus
is by sowing winter cover crops of the
legume family. This is a most excel
lent method for the Southern farmer,
because of our most excellent climate.
We usually have enough rainfall in the
fall to bring these crops up and make a
fair growth before the winter freezes
begin. September is the best time to
sow these crops, but good results are
occasionally obtained by sowing at oth
er times.
The Bureau of Plant Industry,
through the agency of the farm demon
stration work, expects to have as much
as one million acres sown this fall in
the three legumes—crimson clover, burr
clover and vetch—in the Southeastern
cotton States. Coweta county should
contribute her full share of this acre
age. No farmer should try more than
a few acres this fall, but by all means
make a start. If you can't do any bet
ter, sow at least a quarter of an acre;
then take seeds and inoculated soil from
this and sow a greater area next year.
Every farmer who has a demonstration
plot of cotton should sow it in one of
the legumes in September. Please do
this. Seeds can be obtained from near
ly any reliable seed house if ordered
early, but the demand is going to be so
great that you are liable not to get any
seed if you delay ordering.
No one should expect to make the
ground rich by plowing under a single
crop of green manure, for we must re
member that we can’t build up in a
year or two what it took 20 or 30 years
to tear down. For years and years we
have been literally mining our Boils, and
it is now time we were making some
deposits if we expect to continue our
harvests. If the Northern farmer can
enrich his soil by growing legumes on
his land, which is covered with snow all
winter, surely we can enrich ours more
rapidly by growing the same crops dur
ing our mild winters. H, G. Wiley,
Demonstration Agent.
Mexican Dictator Abdicates.
Mexico City, July 15. — Gen. Vic-
toriano Huerta resigned t'rum the pro
visional presidency of the Mexican re
public to-night and his resignation was
accepted by the Senate and Chamber
of Deputies by a vote of 121 to 17.
Francisco Carbajal then was appoint
ed President and took the oath of office
at the joint session of the Deputies and
Senators.
Huerta’s resignation was submitted
through the department of foreign re
lations. It was read in the House and
was greeted with cries of "Viva
Huerta.” It then was referred to the
joint committees of gobernacion.
After brief consideration, the com
mittees reported, accepting the resig
nation, in the following terms:
"Article I. We accept the resigna
tion presented by Gen. Victoriano
Huerta as President of the Mexican
United States.
"Article 2. We call Licentiate Fran
cisco Carbajal, minister of foreign re
lations, to assume the Presidency.”
A ballot was taken and the joint ses
sion approved the report.
Mexico City, July 15.—Gen. Huerta
and Gen. Blanquet left the capital to
night. They noarded a train on the
Mexican railway a few miles beyond
the city. It is thought they are going
to Puerto Mexico.
Before his departure Huerta went to
the national palace to pay his respects
to President Carbajal.
There was complete lack of disorder
in the capital to-night and the theaters
and cafes were crowded. The populace
now is hopeful that peace is in sight.
Huerta’s popularity apparently in
creased greatly after his resignation,
as Mexicans now look on him as a good
loser.
Resolutions on the Death of Mrs.
Dallas Moore Summers.
In Isaiah, 53:10 we find: “Yet it
pleased the Lord to bruise him;” and
so it pleased the divine Father to re
lieve our sister of the sufferings of this
world and take her unto Himself on
June 25, 1914.
For nearly a year Mrs. Summers had
been unable to leave her bed, and at
times suffered intense pain. Yet she
bore all the enforced suffering and ill
ness with a fortitude and bravery born
only of an unfaltering trust in Him
“who doeth all things well.” Never a
complaint at her lot was uttered, but
only the hope that she might have
strength to endure the physical suffer
ing, if the end were long delayed. She
was deeply appreciative of every kind
ness shown her by her friends and
neighbors, and but a few days before
she passed away she said, “Everybody
is good to me, and if I had a million
dollars my wants could not be more
fully supplied.” A good neighbor, a
faithful companion, and a patient Buf-
ferer, she accepted whatever came to
her as the very best; and quietly, away
from the noise and strife of profession
alism, she practiced the gentle arts of
womanhood, making a home cheerful
and happy for her husband and children.
Mrs. Summers was born April 22,
1850, and early in girlhood united with
New Hope Baptist church and was bap
tized by Rev. R. W. Hamrick.
She was married to Mr. E. E. Sum
mers in 1871 and moved to Newnan,
placing her church membership in the
First Baptist church here. Four chil
dren were born into her home, two of
whom died in childhood. The other
two, Mr. Percy Summers and Mrs. Iva
S. Massey, and her husband, survive
her.
Whereas, our sister has left this
earthly tabernacle and entered the
“house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens;” therefore, be it re
solved—
1. That the church has lost a helpful
and useful member.
2. That she will be greatly missed by
the Woman’s Missionary Society, of
which she was a faithful member.
3. That we, as a society, extend to
the bereaved family our deepest sym
pathy, and pray God’s blessings on
them.
4. That these resolutions be spread
on the minutes of this society, that a
copy be furnished the family, and also
published in the city papers.
Mrs. T. B. Davis,
Mrs. R. F. Milner,
Mrs. Lela Adams,
Committee.

LONE OAK.
Services at Prospect last Sunday fore
noon were conducted by the pastor, Rev.
C. H. Branch, who, in spite of physical
weakness, preached an excellent ser
mon.
The relatives and many friends of
Mrs. Robert Powledge were pained to
hear last Friday that she had suffered
a paralytic stroke at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Henry Hunt, near
Allie. Her son, Mr. Leander Powledge,
with his sister, Mrs. Parks Sewell, left
immediately to visit her.
Miss Addie Sewell, after a visit of
several weeks to relatives in Talbot
county, returned home last week.
On Friday last a jolly company, com
prising men, women, children and
babies, left Lone Oak for an outing on
White Oak. Wagons, buggies and auto
mobiles were in demand, and tents,
fishing apparatus, provisions and cook
ing utensils were provided. A happy
day was spent by all, and only a few
returned home for the night, those re
maining enjoying the novel experience
of a night in the woods.
Mesdames J. T. Latimer and G. G.
Culpepper spent Saturday in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Culpepper, near
Lutherville, where Mrs. Feriby Cul
pepper has been in feeble health for
some weeks.
Little Miss Ruth Ponder returned to
her home in Gratitvillc last Sunday, af
ter a visit to her cousins in Lone Oak.
Miss Nellie i’onder, of Grantvillo,
attended services at Prospect last Sun
day.
Mrs. Jim' Spradlin and little son, of
Wilcox county, are visiting the family
of Mr. Tillman Truitt and other Lone
Oak relatives.
Everybody in Lone Oak is delighted
to learn of an improvement in tho con
dition <*f Mr. E. C. Culpeper, who is
still under treatment in Greenville.
After a serious battle of some weeks
against an attack of typhoid fever, Mrs.
Warren Culpepper is reported on the
road to recovery, the trained nurse
having been dismissed early in the
present week.
Mrs. W. P. Lee, we regret to learn,
is suffering intensely from a carbuncle
between her neck and shoulder.
Little Miss Virginia Culpepper is
visiting the little daughter of Dr.
Archer, in Lutherville.
Mr. Will Freeman, of South Georgia,
who has a number of relatives in and
around Lone Oak, was a guest in the
homo of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Lee last
Sunday. Although it has been forty
years since they had met, ho was so
little changed as to bo instantly recog
nized by his cousin, Mrs. John T. Bar-
row.

Greatest Event
in Woman's Life
All human experience looks back to
motherhood as tho wonder of wonders.
Tho patience, tho fortitude, tho sublime
faith during tho period of expectancy are
second only to tho mother love bestowed
upon the most helpless but most marvel
ous creation—a baby.
Women are quick to learn from each
other those helpful agencies that aid to
comfort, that conserve their nervous
energy and yet are perfectly safe to use
and among these they recommend
"Mother’s Friend."
It is entirely an external application
designed to lubricate the broad, Hat
muscles and skin that protect tho
nbdomen. It has been in favorable use
for nearly half a century and is known
to mothers in almost every settled com
munity in tho United States who highly
recommend it. You will And it on sale
in drug stores. "Mother’s Friend" is
utterly harmless, contains no deadening
drugs ami yet its influence in the skin
and muscles beneath as also upon tho
network of nerves beneath tho skin is
very beneficial, very soothing and a
wonderful help. The muscles expand
naturally and are not subjected to unnec
essary surface si ruin and pain.
Get a bottle, of "Mother’s Friend" to
day nt any drug store and write to us
for our instructive little book to mothers.
