AGRICULTURAL RALLY A GREAT
SUCCESS.
The Fourth district agricultural rally
held here yesterday under the auspices
of the State Department of Agriculture
and Georgia Federation of Women's
Clubs was a great success, and the
large gathering of farmers, business
men and ladies attending the exercises
were well entertained as well as pro
fited by the interesting and instructive
talks on the different subjects discussed.
The meeting was held in the court
house, and was opened with prayer by
Rev. J. E. Hannah. Addresses of
welcome were delivered by Mr. R. D.
Cole, president of the County Chamber
of Commerce, and by Mrs. Mike Pow
ell, district president of the Federation
of Women's Clubs.
The speakers at the morning session
were Hon. J. D. Price, Commissioner
of Agriculture; Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen,
State Veterinarian; and Hon. Phil
Campbell, State agent of Boys' Corn
Clubs.
There was a recess of one hour for
dinner, the afternoon session opening
at 1:30 o’clock, with even a larger at
tendance than at the morning session.
At these exercises the speakers were
Mrs. Nellie Peters Black and Mrs. Ly
man J. Amsden, of Atlanta; Prof. Ira
Williams, of the State Department of
Entomology; and Prof. J. H. Melson,
principal of the Fourth District A. & M.
School. Hon. J. D. Price also responded
to a call, and made even a better and
more interesting talk than he did at the
morning session.
Mr. R. D. Cole presided at both ses
sions, and introduced the speakers.
Taken altogether it was a great day,
and those who failed to hear the splen
did addresses and catch some of the
enthusiasm aroused were distinctly
losers hv their absence.
State. It is certainly gratifying to
their neighbors on this side the Savan
nah. One is inclined very reluctantly
to believe that the race of sane and
broad-minded statesmen died out in that
commonwealth when Calhoun and his
contemporaries passed away. Scarcely
had the State gotten out of the meshes
of reconstruction before it fell into the
hands of a bunch of freaks who have
made South Carolina the laughing stock
of the country. But a better day has
come to the proud old commonwealth —
wherefore let us be glad.
The third and last session of the Six
ty-third Congress will expire next
Thursday. At the same time will ex
pire all hopes of the passage of a ship
purchase bill, or any other legislation
for the relief of the Southern farmer.
Never mind!—a day of reckoning will
come bye and bye, and some who have
been vaunting themselves in vainglory
on the floors of Congress while these
measures pended will be called to ac
count for their shortcomings. \ea,
verily!
We believe we have heard that Theo
dore Roosevelt has said that he is
ashamed of the course the United
States has followed in its efforts to
avoid war. What about the Nobel
prize Mr. Roosevelt received some
years ago as the champion peacemaker
of the world?
SUCH IS WAR.
All this ado about a war zone around
the British Islands, and mines in the
North Sea, means that Germany and
England propose to starve each other
out.
This is the Inst desperate resort of
warring nutions. It is the sum of nil
cruelties and brutalities. It is deliber-
erate savagery. It is cold-blooded bar
barism. It falls heaviest on tho inno
cent and the helpless. It in the slaugh
ter of infants, the murder of women,
and the heartless homicide of the aged.
But it is war.
Tho people of Georgia know some
thing of what it meant fifty years ago;
at least, their fathers and mothers
knew. It was this diabolic policy that
inspired Sherman in his famous and in
famous "march to the sea." The only
justification that has ever been offered,
or ever can be offered, in defense of this
course is that it is one of the necessi
ties of war.
If war justifies such unspeakable
cruelty, then in the name of all that is
good let us have no war.
LaGrange Reporter: "The Newnan
Herald probably has the record, when
it comes to consolidating with papers.
Several years ago this paper consolida
ted with the Coweta Advertiser and
changed its name from The Newnan
Herald to The Newnan Herald and Ad
vertiser. Two weeks ago the paper took
control of The Newnan News and again
changed the heading, this time taking
up the former name of The Newnan
Herald. Last week a notice was carried
to the effect that The Grantville Obser
ver hod been taken over, and that Mr.
L. I’. Winter, editor of the Grantville
paper, will become a contributing edi
tor to The Herald. The Newnan paper
is now 'four in one,’ and no doubt Col.
Brown and Mr. Carpenter, the editor
and business manager, will give to the
people of Coweta a better paper than
ever before."
It is said that if this country were to
attempt to pat itself on a war footing
such as has been maintained by Ger
many and other European nations, the
cost would be four and a half billion
dollars a year. If the jingoes, headed
by Theodore Roosevelt, want this to
come about, let them foot the bill.
According to figures given out by the
Comptroller-General, the total value of
all taxable property in the State last
year showed an increase of $85,557,517
over the returns for 1913.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
All landowners are required by law to give in
the land lot numbers of each lot or parcel of land
they own. in the original land district. The new
law is very strict on this point, and instructs the
Receiver not to accept the returns on any land
without LOT NUMBERS and the original land dis
trict. It is impossible for the Assessors to do their
work intelligently and do justice to the landowner
without the correct information in giving the lend
lot number and land district of each land lot and
parcel of land in the county.
Employers are required to give a list of all em
ployees on their land subject to taxes.
The time for giving in taxes is from Feb. 1 to
May 1. This is very important, as the books will
be turned over to the Tax Assessors on May 1.
Anyone who fails to give in his or her taxes with
in the above-named time will be entered on the
defaulters’ lint and double taxed.
The Tax Receiver’s books will be open at the
court-house in Newnan all the time, except when
at places and dates named above.

We daresay Col. Thos. S. Felder, of
Macon, (lale candidate for U. S. Sena
tor,) is doing some figuring just now to
try to find out just "where he is at,"
to use a Watsoman figure. Groomed
first for a U. S. Judgeship, he found
upon investigation that Wallace Lamb-
din, of Waycross, had the edge on that
job. Next he was slated for a place on
the Federal Trade Commission, but
even that failed to work out according
to specifications. The position has been
given by President Wilson to Hon W.
J. Harris, Director of the Census, and
a Georgian. Felder’s friends are said
to be now working to induce the Presi
dent to appoint him to the office made
vacant by Harris' promotion. How this
plan will pan out remains to be seen;
but it must be confessed that the pros
pects do not appear particularly bright
at the present writing.
It seems that at last South Carolina
has a sensible Governor and a sensible
Legislature. This must be gratifying
to the citizens of the Old Palmetto
LONE OAK.
The wenther, with its varying effects
on business of every kind, constantly
reminds one sf the old proverb, "Man
proposes, but God disposes." Many
things in nature have yielded to man's
inventive and preventive devices, but
the weather frustrates his plans and
subdues his pride by forcing him to
realize that he is not supreme. His
farming operations, especially, must
yield to its arbitrary fluctuations, as the
present season, in its constantly recur
ring disappointments, is proving: but
we must still hope that "it is all for the
best."
In our community almost an epidemic
of severe colds — in some instances
genuine la grippe—ha < prevailed for
several weeks. One of the most se
rious esses that has come to our know
ledge is that of Mr. B. E. Wise, who is
just now convalescing from a "spell"
that has confined him at home for some
time.
The cause of justice has made de
mands on I.one Oak citizens the present
term of the Superior Court in Green
ville, Messrs. W. R. Sewell and W. P.
Leo having been called to serve on the
| grand jury, and Messrs. J. T. Turner,
I It. B. Clyatt and A. O. Lee on the petit
jury.
Mr. am) Mrs. W. C. Culpepper, of
Greenville, spent Sunday in the home
of their invalid brother. Mr. E. C. Cul
pepper.
Miss Marie Sewell, of Hogansville,
spent the week-end in her Lone Oak
home.
Mr. Roswell 0 Lee, of Atlanta, re
turned to Atlanta Sunday, after a
brief visit to hi? father, Mr. W. P.
Lee.
Mrs. Richard Maxwell, of Talbotton,
has returned home, after a visit of
several days last week to her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Sewed.
