NEWNAN, FRIDAY, SEPT. 11
LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD.
Every farmer and business man in
the county should attend the mass
meeting at the court-house to-morrow.
The problem confronting the people of
the South in the present crisis—that of
determining the best plan for handling
and disposing of the cotton crop—is a se
rious one, and one that alfects every
interest, commercial and industrial as
well as agricultural. Attend the meet
ing.
Ncwnan has four warehouses in
operation this senson, managed as fol
lows: ldurdett Warehouse, by W. B.
Martin and Lon Grimes; Farmers Ware-
nouse, by J. H. Summers and H. A.
Potts; Murray Warehouse, by It. H.
Ware; McRitchie Warehouse, by T. B.
McRitehie and B. G. Hopson. The
combined storage capacity of the four
warehouses is about eight thousand
tiales.
Mr. Henry Robinson, of McCollum,
who underwent an operation at the
Newnan Sanatarium two weeks ago for
appendicitis, is rapidly recovering, and
will be able in a few days to return
home. Mrs. J. H. Powell, who sub
mitted to an operation of the same na
ture about the same time, is now safe
ly convalescent, her many friends will
be pleased to know.
Messrs. T. B. McRitchie & Co., who
have been operating the large brick
warehouse near the Central freight de
pot for general storage purposes, have
now opened it as a cotton warehouse.
The warehouse will be bonded, and
every, facility afforded for the safe
handling and storage of cotton. It
will be under the management of
Messrs. T. B. McRitchie and B. G.
Hopson, who will give the business
their personal supervision.

Prof. J. A. Pendergrast and family
moved last week to Talbotton, Ga., he
having been recently elected superin
tendent of schools at that place. Prof.
Pendergrast was for three years prin
cipal of Atkinson Grammar School, in
which position his efficiency was thor
oughly and satisfactorily demonstrated.
He and his accomplished wife will be
missed by their Newnan friends, and
we commend them most warmly' to the
good people of Talbotton.
Newnan friends of Dr. J. W. Hogg,
a prominent citizen and leading
physician of Senoia, will regret
to learn of his sudden death.
He was found dead in bed Tuesday
morning, his death having occurred dur
ing the night. Deceased is survived
by his wife and five children, the latter
being Mrs. Mrs. John Huff, of Texas;
Robt. H. Hogg, of Atlanta; Dr. Roy
Hogg, of Haralson; Miss Mary Lee
Hogg and Jos. Hogg, of Senoia.
When the dust is on the counter and
the cobweb’s on the shelf, there’s no
one in the store but your own disheart
ened self; and your stock is getting
shelf-worn, and everything looks stale,
and bills enough are coming in to make
a banker pale. Oh, then’s the time a
fellow is feelin’ kind o’ blue, and is
puzzled with the thought of the proper
thing to do. In such a situation but
one remedy applies—if you want to get
the customers, you’ve got to advertise.
There is a bale of cotton at Sims’
Sanitary Market bearing a placard upon
which are the words, printed in large
letters: “I bought this cotton, and paid
16c. for it;—have you bought yours?”
The cotton was purchased by Mr.
Elisha Sims, who, acting upon the
theory that every little helps, has
joined the ”buy-a-ba!e of cotton”
movement. The lucky farmer who
sold it is just $15 to the good, compared
to what the bale would bring in open
market to-day.
Warehouse Notice.— We have con
verted our standard-built warehouse
into a cotton warehouse. We have
made application for a bond, and as
soon as the necessary formalities can
be complied with bonded receipts for
cotton stored with us will be issued,
fully insured. Loss, if any, will be
payable to a responsible trustee for the
benefit of the holder of the ticket.
Store your cotton with us and we will
guarantee security and satisfaction.

Mr. P. B. Murphey is at Johns Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore, for examina
tion and treatment by noted specialists
at that institution for a bladder trouble,
or some kindred ailment, from which
he has suffered at intervals for several
years. He was accompanied to Balti
more by his physician. Dr. T. B. Davis,
and by Mr. M. F. Cole, and was joined
yesterday by his wife, who left for that
city Wednesday. Reports received
yesterday regarding his condition were
of a reassuring nature, and his friends
were much encouraged.
The Herald and Advertiser notes
with deep regret the death of Mrs.
Martha A. Boone, which occurred at an
eaily hour Tuesday morning at the
home of her son, Mr. R. A. Reese, on
Jackson street. She was 80 years of
age, and had been in declining health for
several months. A good woman, loved
and esteemed by all who knew her, she
will be sadly missed and sincerely
mourned by many friends throughout
the county. She is survived by two
sons, Messrs. R A. and E. O. Reese,
of this city. The liody was carried
Tuesday afternoon to Elim church, in
the Fourth district, for funeral and
interment.
The County Commissioners met last
week in regular session, and, among
other business transacted, was the fix
ing of the tax rate for this year. The
rate last year was $10 per $1,000, but
as the tax tqualization law had made a
large increase in the amount of taxable
property the Commissioners were ena
bled to make a reduction of SI, making
the county rate for this year $9. Ad
ding the State tax of $4.80 makes a to
tal of $13,50, or a cut of $1.50 from last
year. This is a good showing for our
Commissioners, when you take into con
sideration the large amount of road
building they are doing over the county.

The present aldermanic hoard has
made good its pre-election pledge to re
duce taxes. At the regular meeting of
the City Council Monday night, the tax-

Men Pay Homage
to Mother’s Friend
Vol. 1
A very pleasing entertainm 'nt was
that given by Miss Carolyn Milner at
the First Baptist church on Tuesday
evening last, in which she was assisted
by fifteen of the younger members of the
church—all girls. Miss Milner is taking a
course in the Southern Baptist Training
School at Louisville, Ky., with a view
to engaging in missionary work, and
the purpose of the entertainment was
to explain the system of instruction and
training methods employed at that in
stitution to properly qualify the pupils
for missionary work in its various
branches. The exercises included songs
by the class and a solo by Miss Cora
May Hornsby, with Miss Eleanor Bar
rett at the organ. A collection was
taken up at the close of the entertain
ment and a neat sum was raised, which
will be contributed to the building fund
of the training school.
The First Baptist church, at a con
ference on Sunday morning last, ex
tended a unanimous call to Dr. E. \V.
Stone, of Ft. Valley, Ga., to serve that
church as pastor. We understand that
he has accepted, and will preach to the
congregation next Sunday. Dr. Stone
was for two years pastor of the Bap
tist church at Ft. Valley, resigning a
few months since to accept appoint
ment as field agent of Bessie Tift Col
lege. Such strong pressure was
brought to bear by the Newnan church,
however, that he was persuaded to give
up field work and again assume the duties
of a regular pastorate. He is said to
be a fine preacher and a m ist lovable
character, personally, with a charming
family, consisting of his wife and two
daughters. The First Baptist church
has been without a regular pastor since
the death of the lamented Dr. T. B.
Thames.
The following business was disposed
of at the regular monthly term of the
Court of Ordinary on Monday last, to-
wit:
It. N. Winkles qualified as temporary
administrator on the estate of Mary A.
Winkles, deceased.
The return of appraisers to divide in
kind the estate of J. H. Jordan, de
ceased, made the judgment of the court.
J. W. Trammell qualified as adminis
trator on the estate of Mrs. M. E.
Trammell.
J. T. Henderson, administrator on
the estate of G. T. Clarke, deceased,
granted letters of dismission.
J. B. Copeland, administrator on the
estate of W. S. Copeland, deceased,
granted leave to sell the lands of said
deceased.
Walter Woodroof qualified as guardi
an of Columbia Hardaway Brooks and
Moreland Hardaway, minors.
Last will and testament of Mrs. Nan
cy Peek admitted to record and satis
factorily proven in common form.
Court Notes.
The regular fall term of Coweta
Superio' Court convened Monday morn
ing, with Judge R. W. Freeman on the
bench and the usual crowd of specta
tors in attendance.
Judge Freeman’s charge to the grand
jury was an able and comprehensive re
view of the numerous matters to which
it is the duty of that body to give at
tention in their inquisitorial capacity,
coupled with a grave admonition
against violations of the criminal laws
of the State. It was a fine lecture, and
impressed all who heard it.
The grand jury organized by electing
Judge W. B. Martin foreman, and
Messrs. W. C. Russell and Lee Hand
clerks.
The jury is composed of the following
well-known citizens, viz: J. H. Simms,
F. L. Cavender, W. E. MeGee, J. 1.
Scroggin, G. W. Byram, W. J. L.
Herndon, L. R. Powell, J. W. Story,
T. L. Cook, T. M. Todd, A. P. Carmi-
cal, Tobe Donegan, Wm. B. Martin,
J. F. Ferrell, I. P. Bradley, E. N.
Camp, C. T. Witcher, T. H. Carmical,
Fred Camp, Lee Hand, L. B. Mann,
W. C. Russell, S. R. Crain.
The traverse jury for the first week
is made up as follows: C. E. Chandler,
J. P. Waltom, S. C. Travis, J. F.
Cook, M. B. Mooney, E. M. Cole, J.
W. Spravberry, A. S. Young, W. R.
Cole, K. B. Thompson. T. O. Stallings,
W. E. Lindsey, D. C. Owens, T. H.
Harper, J. H. Reynolds, W. S. John
son, D. S. Cuttino, E. E. Hayes, H. B.
Coggin, C. W. Hutchens, M. S. Thur
man, T. J. Young, Otis E. Smith, S.
R. Chandler, Luther H. Camp, J. Alton
Addy.
But little civil business has been dis
posed of, the only case of importance
being an action by certain heirs to set
aside the will of the late Jol n Chandler.
The jury returned a verdict in favor of
the propounded, and the will is there
fore sustained.
The criminal docket was taken up
yesterday morning.

Raymond Farmers Will Reduce Cot
ton Acreage.
Raymond, Ga., Sept. 5.—At a meet
ing of the local Chamber of Commerce
to-day the following resolutions in re
gard to holding cotton were adopted:
1. That every farmer in our section
will endeavor to hold his cotton off the
market until we can command a better
price, or until the present crisis is over.
2. That we will place our cotton in
the warehouses and pledge the certi
ficates as collateral to the banks for
money with which to liquidate our in
debtedness on a pro rata basis to all
creditors alike for all indebtedness in
curred in making and .harvesting this
crop.
3. That under the present depressed
market conditions, which are likely to
continue, we reduce the cotton acreage
to ten acres to the plow and increase
the acreage in foodstuffs fifty per cent,
and that all farmers raise all the meat
f hat they consume at home and also on
their farms, and to cut fertilizer bills
fifty per cent.
4. That we withhold our cotton seed
from the market, unless we can ex
change a ton of seed for a ton of meal,
or its equivalent.
5. That we send a copy of these res
olutions to ail County Chambers of
Commerce, to the county papers, and
to the Atlanta papers, with the re
quest that they publish same.

Gladys’ mother was entertaining
visitors, when suddenly the door was
flung open, and in burst Gladys like the
proverbial whirlwind.
•'My dear child,” said the mother,
rebukingly, “I never heard such a
noise as you made coming downstairs.
Now go right back and come down
stairs properly."
Gladys retired, and a few minutes
later re-entered the room.
“Did you hear me come down that
time, mamma?” she asked.
“No,” replied the mother. “Now,
why can’t you always behave like that?
You came downstairs like a lady then. ”
"Yes, mamma,” said Gladys duti
fully, “i slid down the banisters.”
♦ • ——
A son’s obedience to his mother is
significant of goodness and greatness.
Abraham Lincoln’s stepmother thus
spoke of him: "I can say what not
one mother in ten thousand can of a
boy. Abe never gave me a cross look,
and never refused to do anything I re
quested of him, nor did I ever give him
a cross word in all my life. He was
dutiful to me always. Abe was the
best boy I ever saw, or ever expect to
see.”
A mother's duty is never better done
than when she instills into the lives of
her boys and girls the higher courage
of honorabe living, principles of truth,
nobility and purity, that they may go
into the world of social and political
life free from the narrow self-interest,
dishonesty and petty scheming which
ever threatens to undermine our coun
try’s life and the liberty dear to every
true American heart.

"Pipe smoking gives added
pleasure ia a golfer when the pipe
is filled with / uxedo. 7 uxedo
provides more keen enjoyment than
any other tobacco f know."
&
Tee Up! Smoke Up!
AS satisfying as the sounding smack of the
perfect drive, is the open-air relish of
the perfect smoke—Tuxedo. Both go
together, too. When you grab your bag and
start for the links, grab up your tin of
Tuxedo and take it along.
“Follow through" the snappy afternoon
with Tuxedo. Put Tuxedo in your pipe and
you will "put" the best. And at "the nine
teenth hole” rest up and relax with ;i good,
solid smoke of Tuxedo. That’s the advice
of good golfers everywhere.
ALEX CAMPBELL

Tuxedo is made of only the finest, choic
