NEWNAN HERALD & ADVERTISER
VOL. X LIX.
NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1914.
NO. 51
We wish to announce that we have just completed one of the finest and most up-to-date gin
neries in the South, and are better prepared than ever to give you the very best of service. All of
our gins were made to special order under the direction of an expert, and this places us in a position
to guarantee a perfect sample. Our present capacity of 150 bales per day, and with two of the best
ginners in Coweta county as operators, does away with all the crowding and waiting. We have
ample shelter to suit all kinds of weather. In fact, everything is arranged for your convenience. It
is not necessary for you to get off your wagon. You have your cotton ginned, get your bale, and
receive pay for the seed without making a turn or cross up with other wagons on the yard.
The seed arrangement that we have installed gives absolute, accurate weight on allseed ginned.
It would be a treat to anyone to see just how smooth and easy every bale of cotton is handled.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
»
ONE PRICE TO ALL. EVERY CUSTOMER IS PAID THE HIGHEST MARKET PRICE FOR SEED
The mechanical condition of our mill places us in a position to obtain as much value out of a
ton of seed as any mill in Georgia, and this enables us to pay the highest market price for seed at all
times. All of our products are first-class, and, with a special cleaning system, our hulls are thor
oughly renovated and cleaned of dust and foreign matter. Tour patronage will be appreciated•
We have been so busy making these changes we were unable to see you personally, and take
this method of notifying our friends of our up-to-date improvements.

ments:

We believe the pension list to be all

So far as cur investigation has gone,
the dockets for the N. P.’s and J. P.’s
are properly kept.
We find the public buildings in good
condition.
Through our committee we inspected
the convict camp. We find 04 prisoners,
1 superintendent, 3 guards, 1 free la
borer, 30 mules, and complete equip
ment. The camp is in good sanitary
condition. The average cost of main
taining the camp for the last eight
months is $2,100 per month. We find
where the convicts are now at work
that they have one mile ef road com
plete, and about one mile laid out and
partly graded. They have been on thiB
job about three months, hence we de
duct that this road is costing about
$4,000 per mile during the good weath
er, and that this will be increased 25 to
50 per cent, in the winter season.
Our committee also visited the Coun
ty Farm, and we find 29 inmates—16
whites, (3 males andT3 females,) and
13 colored, (7 males and 6 females.)
The average expense per month for the
farm is $2%.
Our committee reports that the Coun
ty Surveyor does a lot of work on his
records for which he gets no compensa
tion. We respectfully submit this to
our County Commissioners for their
consideration.
Our public roarlB. This brings us to a
well-worn subject. The complaint comes
from all over the county that the roads
need repairing. The complaint prevails
that most of the time and money is
spent in building roads, to the exclu
sion of keeping in repair those already
built. We recommend and earnestly
urge the County Commissioners to dis
continue the building of this 36-foot au
tomobile highway through the county
upon which they are now engaged at
such an enormous cost, until the main
market roads of the county are put in
good condition.
We recommend that the books of all
county officers be audited every two
years.
We recommend that the Board of
County Commissioners build at a mod
erate- coat a small house of worship at
the County Farm.
We recommend that the Sunday laws
be rigidly enforced.
We recommend that the jurors and
bailiffs be paid $2 per day for the ensu
ing year.
We recommend that the County Com
missioners publish monthly, and by dis
tricts, in the paper carrying the county
legal advertising, an itemized statement
of money spent on public roads.
In view of the financial stringency,
we recommend and urge that the Coun
ty Commissioners exercise the same
economy in the administration of the
county’s affairs that individuals are
compelled to exercise in their own mat
ters.
We desire to thank Hie Honor, Judge
Freeman, for his very able and com
prehensive charge to this body.
We also appreciate the assistance of
Solicitor-General Terrell, and thank him
for the same.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in The Herald and
Advertiser, The Newnan News and Se-
noia Enterprise-Gazette, and that they
be paid $10 each for the same.

DON’T HURT YOUR
LIVER WITH CALOMEL.
When your liver becomes torpid and
sluggish, you can take calomel and whip
it into action, but the calomel will leave
your body weaker and sicker than ever.
Calomel is a very powerful drug, a
form of mercury, and need never be
used, because there is a perfect remedy
to take the place of calomel that has
all of calomel’s good medicinal effects
with none of its dangerous and uncer
tain follow-ups. Its name is Dodson's
Liver Tone.
John R. Cates Drug Co. sells Dod
son’s Liver Tone with the guarantee
that if you don't find that it treats you
much better than calomel, they will
give you back your money with a smile.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a true tonic for
the liver, purely vegetable, and with
such a pleasant taste that it is no trou
ble to get children to take it. It is ab
solutely impossible for it to do anyone
any harm.
Georgians Remember Sherman.
IJainbridirc Searchlight.
Says the New York Sun about the
practice of the Germans dropping ex
plosives from airships into Belgian and
French cities:
“If General Sherman were alive be
would have to apologize to hell. He
was unjust to that amiable region. The
war of hiB time was but an innocent,
harmless killing game. To murder
wantonly and futilely, to slay or man
gle little children and young mothers in
their beds, to salute the Red Cross flag
with a bomb, to slaughter and terrorize
non-combatants, random destruction
with no permanent result except to
sicken and anger all civilized mankind,
this is war as practiced on a city from
Zeppelin airships.”
Yet, if history knows what it is talk
ing about, this same Sherman was not
adverse to making war on the “little
children and young mothers in their
beds.” His trail to the sea was a mas
terpiece of butchery, vandalism and
carnage. Perhaps if Mr. Sherman had
had a few airships of his own he would
in those other days have more complete
ly devastated the lands through which
he traveled just because his idea of war
was hell.
A Washingtonian, who was touring
the Shenandoah Valley, stopped his
motor-car in the road one day and
asked an aged negro, who was pain
fully proceeding in the opposite direc
tion, whether he knew where Mr.
Simpkins lived.
“Yessuh,” was the reply. “He
live heah in de valley.”
“Do you know where his house is?”
■ JThe aged negro chuckled. “ 'Deed I
do, boss,” he said. “I only wish I had
as many dollahs as I knows where dat
house is.”
Hydrophobia is much more prevalent
among male dogs than among female,
100 of the former going mad as com
pared with 14 of the latter.
Whenever You Need a Qeneral Tonic
Take Grove's
The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless
ohill Tonic is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it contains the
well known tonic propertiesof QUININE
and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives
out Malaria, Enriches the Blood ami
Builds up the Whole System. 50 cents.
