Write TO-DAY l W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., seed growers, PHILADELPHIA Editor News: With the assurance that you, have the best interests of bur peo ple at heart, I ask that you give space in your columns to this let ter: To the members of the Cotton Association and the farmers of Coweta county: Shall we be weighed in the balances and found wanting? Don’t we all know a twelve or thirteen million bale cotton crop this year will mean financial ruin to the South? Who are we, and what are we to do about it? We are of the South, and no Southerner of intelligence or influence can be excused. No man can refute the arguments ahd facts that have been presented from platform and press during the past two months. Is it possible that a sufficient number of farm ers Of the Souuh are going to prove to be either so ignorant, so selfish or so unconcerned as to make all efforts at organization a failure? We have the backing advice and sympathy of all intel ligent people in every other avoca tion, and failure can now conu only through lack ot support and confidence of a sufficient numbei of farmers refusing to come for ward with their help and influence In this case, there is no getting around the truth of the old saying “He that is not for us is against us.’’ We do not intend to harsh. Let us reason with you Don’t dismiss the matter by say ing, "I have made my plans; this is a free country; I have the right and will do as I please," but listen Nine million bales of cotton will bring a great deal more money than 12,000,000. Can't you wel afford to reduce your part, and so doing increase your crops grain and hay? The surplus these crops will always sell,besides costing a great deal less to grow and harvest.' I have studied this question closely, and firmly believt that if we succeed in this organ iza tion a most prosperous era for tin. Southern farmer is near at hand; but if we fail in the mighty effort that is now being made, we will entail untold hardships upon our selves, and force abject poverty upon our children. It is with us to decide. And who are "us?” In this case us is every farmer, land- owner or renter in Coweta county. We have all to gain and nothing to lose by the effort; therefore, for the sake of our common prosperity, for the sake of all we love, and in the name of common sense and reason,let us try. Come to our beautiful court house the first Tuesday in April; bring your wives, daughters and sweethearts, We will import tor your benefit and entertainment an able, well-posted, patriotic speaker. There is no politics in this move ment. It is business to the core— for the good of all classes, and sentiment of the highest order, since a united effort in this great movement will insure the comfort and happiness of those we love best. Let us implore every dis trict not already organized to do so without delay. Let every dis trict have a meeting on Saturday before the first Tuesday in April, and have their secretary at the county meeting when called to or der at 10 o’clock on April.4, with statistics to show what every man’s acreage was in 1904, and what it will be in 1905, whether he be a member of the association or not; actual figures, if possible; but esti mates, it necessary. Very sincerely, W. A. Brannon, President Coweta County Cotton Association. EATH OFF. A. B8TKWATWHITF8- BURB !! " : ' ■ ■ Carrollton, Ga., March 11.—P. .

A Chicago Alderman Owes His Elec tion to Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. “I ean heartily! and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's Gongli Rem edy for affections of the throat and lungs," says Ron. John Slienick, 220 So. Peoria St., Chicago. "Two years ugo during a political campaign, L caught cold after being overheated, which ir ritated my throat and I was finally com- polled to stop, as l could not s;»eak aloud. In my extremity a friend ad vised me to uHe Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I took two doses that after noon and could not believe my senses when I found the next morning the in flammation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right ou talking through the campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my seat in the Council.” This remedy is for sale by Holt & Cates, Druggists, New nan, Ga. FROM 8EN0IA ENTERPRISE-GAZETTE Mrs. Z. Greene, of Newnan, has- been spending several days here the guest of her father, Mr, W. T. Arnall. The public generally will l»c pleased to learn that the postoffice department positively forbids R. F. D. mail carriers tampering with whiskey in any way. A carrier in one of our neighboring towns was discharged a few days ago because he had been taking orders for it. Good business people everywhere are frowning down on this wretch ed stuff. Those who heard it, say that Judge R. W. Freeman’s charge to the grand jury Monday morning was one of the ablest and most sensible ever delivered to a jury. Not as an extremist, but as a sen sible, sound man, he charged the jury against card playing and gambling of every kind, against the evils ot concealed weapons,and he came down heavy on the dread ful blind tiger business. He said that nearly every crime committed was traceable either directly or in directly to whiskey. Annual meeting of Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank, of Senoia, was held last Thursday, On accouni of increased business the directors were petitioned by the people to increase the capital stock; and, af ter a conference with those inter ested it was decided to issue-$25,- 000 worth of new stock. This bank has been a great success, having paid the original stock holders far more money than they invested. The demand for the stock is so great that it will be largely over subscribed. Mr. J. Austin Blanton, of near Haralson, lost his barn by fire Sunday night. In the barn was twenty bales of shreded teed, three fine mules and four hundred bush els of corn, all of which was lost. The mules were fastened up in stalls and it was impossible to get them out. It is supposed that some one set fire to the barn. A man who is mean enough to set fire to a barn where there is live stock kept, is none too good to be burned with them. Austin is an inoffensive, hard working young man and no one can imagine why the deed was committed, The workman who watches clock can not watch his work. the Incredible Brutality.
