NEWNAN HERALD 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." Recognized Advantages.

I 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. L. D. H. Lone Oak, Ga., Feb. 10th. 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.

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. ” Sick headache, biliousness, piles, and had breath are usually caused by inac tive bowels.^ Get a box of Rexall Orderlies.

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, was introduced to an old hunter who claims to have killed no fewer than 400 bears. “Bill,” said the introducer, “this fel ler wants to hear some narrow escapes you’ve had from beats.” The old man, rubbing his eyes, looked the stranger over, and said: “Young man, if there’s been any nar rer escapes, the bears had ’em.” When you see a hen eating tacks you are rash to assume that she is going to lay a carpet. r\ To become a uni versal favorite/ Chero-Cola had to be^ the perfect drink that 1 it is.
