NEWNAN, F1RDAY, FEB. 18.
ONE DOLLAR A TEAR
IN ADVANCE.
Will Be Forced to Cut Down Cotton
Acreage.
Hon. Thou. G. Huilnon in Moron Trlnrmph.
Hon. Thos. G. Hudson, of AmcricuH,
was discussing the farming Rituation
the other day, while talking to n Tele
graph representative. He thinka it is
entirely too late for the farmers of
Georgia to make anything like an*av-
erage crop of cotton, even if they were
inclined to do it. He sayR winter plow
ing muRt he done in order to get a cot
ton crop, and the continuous rains
throughout the winter have kept the
farmers out of the fields. I.and is yet
to be broken, and dry weather is not
yet in sight.
"Another feature aLout this cotton
acreage,” he Buid, "is the mule situa
tion. We have had no mules brought
into Georgia this season. The average
death rate is 8 per cent., and we have
shipped out 5 per cent, of our stock.
That is a reduction of 18 per cent, in
the cultivation. In addition, there are
500,000 acres of Georgia cotton land
planted in oats now. Another item is
the reduction of fertilizer sales by at
least 50 per cent. That means 760,000
tons of fertilizers that won't be used
this year.
"Combine these itomR which have
heretofore gone into cotton with the
fact that cotton is a credit crop—that is
the average farmer huH to borrow mon
ey with which to make cotton. The men
who lend money have for the first time
in their lives seen what was heretofore
first-class collateral fade into nothing
ness. Cotton wan gilt-edge up to last
fall. But not so at thin time. This
makes the money lender wary. He iB
not going to take the chance again.
The farmer can only borrow a little
money, and the man who lends is not
going to agree to have the farmer pro
duce all cotton. Heretofore the farmer
was ulmost compelled to guarantee to
grow cotton, or lie couldn't borrow
money. Now he must guarantee that he
won’t grow cotton, or he can't borrow
money. The farmer can borrow a little,
very little, and then only provided he
will grow something to eat, as well us
some cotton.
"1 have no fears about there not being
enough cotton to go around, even under
these circumstances. We are going to
moke a plenty. But there is going to
be m-re feed grown in the South this
year than has been the case in u great
many years all put together. Wheat
selling at $1.65 per bushel, and corn at
!M)c. to $1, makes us think extremely
well of the food crop.
"Cotton takes a great deal of work
and money, and the only reason 1 know
ns to why the South raises nil cotton
is, it is the only thing we have a market
for. Our facilities for ginning it, baling
it and selling it are developed. And the
farmer wantB money for what he pro
duces. 1 am glad to know that your Na
tional Milling Company of Macon is buy
ing corn in the shuck, and all the oats
and wheat that may be produced. The
farmers in any section can haul their
corn into town and put it in a car, (a
sufficient number of farmers combining
to make up a car.) ship that car to Ma
con and get their money for the corn.
That furnishes a market to all of Geor
gia. and it iR tine that Macon has done
lllie. 1 expect to tell the people about
it wherever 1 go. They will raise food
crops when they know where to sell
them."

ly friends to be the confidante of aught
that concerns your domestic peace. |
Let momenta of alienation, if they oc- j
cur, be healed at once. Never, no
never, speak of it outside; but to each ;
other confess, and all will come out ]
right. Never let the morrow's sun
still find you at variance. Renew and 1
renew your vow. It will do you good, !
and thereby your minds will grow to- I
gether contented in that love which is
Btronger than death, and you will be |
truly one.

Obituary.
The death summons came Saturday
night, 6th inst., to Mrs. Talitha Sprad
lin. Having lingered for days "in the
velley of the shadow of death," the
call was not unexpected to her nor to
those who loved her. "It is enough;
come up higher." it said to the weary
spirit as it escaped from the exhausted
frame. There was no dread of the
mysterious change which she was con
acinus was at hand. "It is all right,"
she said, and her friends felt assured
that it was so thBt it was well with
her soul—for the purity of her life, her
unostentatious piety and devotion to
duty, had all along evidenced that she
was prepared. On the following after
noon, at Prospect church, of which
Mrs. Spradlin had long been a faithful
member, the funeral services were
conducted hy the pastor, Rev. C. H.
Branch, and attended by many sympa
thizing friends. Handsome plants
whose verdure suggested the "fields of
living green beyond Jordan's swelling
floods," adorned the chancel, and beau
tiful floral tokens covered the casket
which hid the precious form. The in
terment wbb in Prospect cemetery.
The deceased is survived by three de
voted daughters, Mrs. J. W. Sewell,
Mrs. B. E. Wise, Mrs. Emmett Sewell,
and one equally devoted son, Mr. Alva
Spradlin, all of Lone Oak. Mrs. Sprad
lin was the youngest of six sisters,
Mrs. Sallie Slaughter and Mi-h. Jake
Albright of Grantville, Mrs. Mary
Broadwater of Ncwnan, Mrs. Frank
lin Spence and Mrs. Robt. Powledge of
Lone Oak, with her brother, Mr. John
B. White, are the surviving members
of her immediate family. Besides the
sincere sympathy of all who knew
them, these bereaved relatives have to
console them the blissful hope of a re
union with their dear one in that home
where there is no more death.

Obituary.
My grandmother, Mth. Fannie Her
ring, died Jan. 28, 1815, after an illness
of several months. 1 knew her and
loved her ns a mother, my own mother
having died young and left my brother
and I little orphans. She asked grand
mother to take us under her protection.
She accepted the charge and did her
part faithfully and well to the end.
How we loved her! She had five chil
dren of her own to raise. She also
cared for an aged sister-in-law, Mrs.
Patman. During her last days on earth
she nursed a sick daughter and two lit
tle ones. Her husband, one daughter
nnd a son preceded her to the grave.
She leaves one son, Edgar, and two
daughters, Mrs. John Bean and Mrs.
G. T. Drake, together with several
grandchildren and other relatives, to
mourn her departure.
"Jesus came not to he ministered
unto, but to minister." She said 'twaB
sweet to die. Her work finished, she
said she thought of the fair faces she
would see when she reached "home.”
May we all follow her as she followed
Christ.
Nevermore will we see her smiling
fuce in this world, nor feel the tender
touch of her gentle hands; yet while
we weep, we sorrow not in vain, for
faith points us onward to the coming
years, when our loved one will smile on
us again. Merta Drake.

Getting On a Cash Basis.
DmwHon News.
A number of Dawson merchants are
adopting the cash plan of doing busi
ness, and an increasing number of citi
zens are doing the same thing. Both
the business houses and buyers who
are giving the plan a trial seem to be
so well pleased with it that there is
little likelihood of either going back to
the old credit system.
The average firm spends lots of mon
ey keeping books and collecting ac
counts, and the average buyer is more
apt to exceed his ability to pay when
goods are charged even for a short
time. Besides, by paying cash for his
goods the dealer can get a substantial
discount from the wholesaler, and this
discount, coupled with the saving of
the usual dead-beat losses, would make
a material reduction in the cost of sup
plies; but he can hardly stand the strain
of cash transactions himself while he
is extending credit to Tom, Dick and
Harry, and the rest of them.
Buying for cash would mean more
goods for your money, less worry, and
a better community generally. And
then the dead-beat would have to pay
for his keep.
Why not stamp out the credit curse
entirely? It is simply a breeder of
high prices, from which everybody
suffers.
“Week before last,” said the kind
lady to the paralyzed beggar, "you got
a dollar from me because you were deaf
and dumb. Last week I gave you a
quarter because you were blind, before
1 realized that you were the same man.
Now you ask for money because you
are paralyzed.”
"YesBum,” said the beggar. “Them’s
the facts. ”
"Don’t you think you’d do better if
you chose one affliction and stuck to
it?” BBked the Isdy.
“No, ma’am," said the beggar:
“They’s nothin' so fatal to the full de
velopment o’ all one's natural powers
as narrer specialization."
From different parts of the country
come stories of a swindle successfully
worked on farmers who thought they
were going to get cheap groceries.
Two smooth strangers went through
the communities taking orders for a
house in Chicago, pretending to sell a
standard brand of sugar and flour so
cheaply that every farmer visited took
from $10 to $60 worth, and other things
besides. Because of the low prices the
flour and sugar had to be “paid for in
advance. ” It is alleged that in one com
munity the swindlers picked up some
$8,000, and no groceries delivered.
"What do you want Hie ten cents
for?" ssked the minister.
“Booze." replied the bleary beggar,
shamelessly. "I need it awful bud— ”
"Isn't there any way you can get rid
of that terrible Hppetite for drink?"
"Yep—I can do it in a holy minute
if you lemmehave that d>me. ”

"Please, ma’am,” said the little girl
from next door, "mother wants to
know if you will lend her your new me
chanical tune-player this afternoon.”
“What an extraordinary idea! Ib she
going to give a dance?”
“No, ma ’am. We’re tired of danc
ing to it. She wants to keep it quiet
for a couple of hours so that the tiaby
can sleep.”
(! A tourist, traveling in the Rockies,
