1 believe that Herald subscriptions
can be sold to honest men by honest
methods.
I believe in working, not waiting; in

1 believe a contestant gets what, he
or she goes after—that one subscrip

in the afternoon, and that no contest
ant is “down and out” until he or she
has lost faith in him or herself.
1 believe in to-day and the work I am
doing; in to-morrow and the work I
hope to do; and in the sure reward that
comes at the close of the contest.
1 believe in courtesy, in kindness, in
generosity, in good cheer, in friendship
and honest competition.
I believe there is a subscription order
somewhere for every contestant ready
to take one.
I believe I am ready—right now.

Clean-Up Week April 5
Please give particular attention to
the following ordinances, recently passed
by the the City Council. Should the
violation of these ordinances trouble
you personally it is your own fault, as
-n ordinance can be of no avail unless
you report its violation to the Council.

Chm’n Street Committee.
LOOSE CATTLE OR LIVE STOCK.
“It shall be unlawful for any person
to drive any loose cattle or live stock
within the corporate limits of said city.
This shall be construed to mean the
driving of mules, horses or cows, in
droves or otherwise, through the city.”
—City Code of Newnan, Sec. 487.
CHICKEN ORDINANCE.
“Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Newnan, That
it shall be unlawful for any person,
firm or corporation to allow or permit
any chickens or fowls to be at large
upon any street of said city, or upon
residence or private property of any

'Chalk
during the
Sudden Death of Mr. John E. Robin
son.
The sudden death of Mr. John E.
Robinson the first of the week was a
great shock to the community, and a
cause of deep sorrow to his many
friends throughout the county. Tues
day morning he went out to his farm 3
miles east of town to superintend some
planting operations. He did not return
home in the evening, but as he fre
quently spent the night on his farm
during the busy work senson his absence
occasioned no uneasiness. However,
when he failed to appear Wednesday
evening, and as no word had been re
ceived from hint, his family became
alarmed and a party was formed to in
stitute a search for him. Shortly be
fore noon yesterday his dead body was
found in a patch of woods about mid
way between his farm and that of his
son, Mr. J. E. Robinson, jr. The sup
position is that while passing through
the woods from one farm to the other
he was stricken with apoplexy, nnd that
death was instantaneous. This theory is
borne out by the fact that an examina
tion of the spot where the body was
found showed no evidences of a strug
gle. The body was brought to town in
an automobile and taken to the late
residence of deceased on Spring street.
Mr. Robinson was one of our best-
known citizens, and a member of one
of Newnan’s oldest and most promi
nent families. He was a son of the late
John E. Robinson, and grandson of
Randall Robinson, one of Coweta’s first
settlers and the founder of the First
Baptist church of this city. Genial and
generous by nature, sincere in his at
tachments, honest and outspoken in his
convictions, he made friends easily, and
these friendships he cherished with a
loyalty that was admirable. He was a
veteran of the Civil War, entering the
service as a member of the Newnan
Guards when but lli years of age and
following the fortunes of this gallant
troop until the close of hostilities. His
surviving comrades bear testimony that
a braver soldier, or one more faithful
to duty at all times, never shouldered a
musket.
Deceased is survived by his wife and
five children, the latter being Mrs.
Harrv Haywood, of Savannah; Mias
Martha Reid Robinson, member of the
faculty of Bessie Tift College, Forsyth;
Mr. Edwin Robinson, of Atlanta; Mr.
Robin Robinson, of Colon, Panama; Mr.
J E. Robinson, jr., of this city. He
leaves also three sisters—Mrs. A. B
Cates, Mrs. Geo. FI. Carmical and Miss
Emmie Robinson, all of this city. He
was 57 years of age.
The funeral and interment will take
place to-morrow (Saturday) morning at
half-past 1" o’clock, from the residence.
Services will be conducted by Dr. J. S.
Hardaway, aasisted by Rev. J. E. Han
nah.
Newnan Will Benefit Greatly by Re
adjustment of Freight Rates.
A study of the readjustment of
freight rates in the South which the
railroads are required to make in com
pliance with tiie order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, issued in
pursuance of Federal law, enforcing a
more strict observance of the long anu
short haul provision of the Interstate
Commerce Act, shows that Newnan
and neighboring towns will fare rela
tively better under the new arrange
ment than under existing conditions.
Under the existing adjustment of
both interstate and State rates, New
nan and similar points in Georgia pay
higher rates than those in effect at the
larger cities. Under the new arrange
ment the relative position of Newnan
and similar points will be materially
bettered, as the following will show—
At present the rates to Newnan from
Baltimore and all Eastern points are
approximately 19 per cent, higher than
the rates to Atlanta and Rome; 13 per
cent, higher than to Griffin, and 6 per
cent, higher than to Carrollton. Under
the new arrangement the rates to New
nan will be only about 5 per cent, high
er than the rates to Atlanta, Rome and
Griffin, and the same as the rates to
Carrollton from Baltimore, New York,
and all Eastern points.
At present the rates to Newnan from
Cincinnati and other Ohio river cross
ings and all Western points are approx
imately 29 per cent, higher than to
Atlanta and Rome, 12 per cent, higher
than to Carrollton, and the same as to
Griffin. Under the new arrangement
the rates to Newnan will be only
approximately 12 per cent, higher than
to Atlanta and Rome, and the same
rates as to Carrollton and Griffin.
At present the rates to Newnan from
New Orleans and other Gulf porta and
southwestern points are about 31 per
cent, higher than the rates to Atlanta
and Rome, 12 per cent, higher than to
Carrollton, and the same as to Griffin.
Under the new arrangement the rates
to Newnan will be approximately 10
per cent, lower than the rates to Car
rollton and Griffin, and the same as the
rates to Atlanta and Rome.
Recognizing the necessity for a re
adjustment of the rates between points
in Georgia, to substantially conform to
the principles prescribed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission to govern
interstate adjustments, it is under
stood that the Georgia carriers will ask
the Georgia Railroad Commission at an
early date to approve a readjustment
of rates within the State. If the pro
posed readjustment of Georgia rates is
approved by the Commission the rela
tive position of Newnan will be approx
imately as follows, with respect to
