NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN. FIRDAY, APR. 23. ONE DOLLAR A Y E A R IN ADVANCE. -■ OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, April 21.—A note of warn ing against the overplanting of cotton this year is sounded by the State Department of Agriculture. Reports from many sections of the State con tinue to indicate absence of intention to reduce acreage, and in one or two instances it has even been brought to the Department’s attention that far mers are plowing up their oats to plant cotton. "All of this is extremely dishearten ing to the Department,” stateB Com missioner J. D. Price. "I even had a man call me on the long distance 'phone the other day to ask about acreage re duction and fertilizer sales. I told him that up to a few weeks ago it looked as if there would be a reduction of 20 to 25 per cent, and that I thought the fertilizer tag sales would be about 40 per cent, less than last year. Then he asked me: 'Don’t you think I'd better plant cotton?' I told him it was sim ply a question as to whether he wanted to go ahead and do like all the other fool farmers who believed everybody else was going to reduce, while they increased. It reminded me very much of the action of the Grange several years ago, when that organization agreed to reduce the cotton acrenge. They all thought everybody else would reduce, so everyone of them went ahead and planted a full crop. The trouble was, everybody did the same thing, nnd it spelled disaster in the fall, as to price. "While I do not predict this sort of thing this year, 1 am fearful that the rise in the price of cotton is going to make the producer forget the high price of foodstuffs, and not make enough for home consumption, i want to beg of them to keep in mind the big prices foods and feedstuff's are bring ing this year, as well as the enormous quantities we are importing into the State, and at least raise enough for home consumption, if not for market. Then lot cotton come after, as a sur plus crop; it will bring just as much money, with a small crop, as with the enormous crop of last year, "The live stock interest is rapidly growing every day all over Georgia, and while 1 am well aware that not every man is in position to raise a large number, there is no man but can have at least one hog and one cow; nnd the man who is to-day suffering most is the one who has neither pig, n >r cow, nor credit. The farmer who has the best credit to-day is the one who is living at home und giving attention to every possible feature, including live stock, even though it be but a single pig and a single cow. "Georgia is full of farmers, croppers and renters who don’t know how they are going to make a crop this year, and who have brought this misfortune on themselves, all because they didn't raise enough home supplies last year. Those who took advantage of the situ ation last fall and sowed wheat are going to reap a handsome harvest about the time when the man who didn't will be out of both money und credit. "Every farmer in Georgia should take warning now and plant plenty of food crops nnd feedstuff's, making cot ton simply a surplus crop. If they take chances on too much cotton they will be practically sure to lose again. While the sale of fertilizer tags is not as great asjlast year, up to the present time, it isjnevertheh ss true that nearly as many tags were sold in the tirst half of April as during the entire month of April, 191-1. "Again, 1 say, take warning!" The State Department of Agricul ture is making a vigorous campaign against the feed mixers, both within and outside of the State. Many in ferior feeds have been placed on the market, and few of the mixers are complying with the law by giving the guaranteed analysts on the sack or tug and paying the required tax. Com missioner Price urges that all who are forced to buy concentrated feedstuff's will bear this in mind, and see to it that the proper analysis is printed on the sack or tug, and the tax paid. This law was passed solely for the protec tion of the consumer, atjd it is to the consumer's interest to see to it that the law is obeyed. That there are no near-beer saloons in Georgia to-day, and that every beer saloon in the State is as much in open violation of the law as a "blind tiger" would be, is the stand which the pro hibition leaders are going to take bi- fore the Legislature next summer. They are planning an uncompromising tight to put the beer saloons out of business, and will make a concerted ef fort to have passed a new law which it will be impossible to evade aR the pres ent one is being evaded. The failure of the prohibitionista in the past has been often due, their barters think, to the fact that they have scattered their strength in support of variouB meas ures and ideas instead of centering on one thing and sticking to that until they succeed in putting it over. For that reason they propose, for the time I at least, to let the locker clubs alone, to let the whiskey question alone, and to center all their forces on the one movement to rid the State of the beer Haloons. They have hit upon the beer saloons as the most glaring evil be cause they are the only wide-open 1 places where anybody can go in at any , time and purchase an alcoholic drink. A Tribute TO Till- MEMORY "1 MRS. RRRKCCA LB8TEH. WI10 |)|KI» MARCH 27, 1915 AGED 83 YEAll.M. "I’m like Dr. Nunnallywe'd better leave the (lowers off the grave, if we haven't scattered some in the path of the living." Often we’ve heard the above remark from the lips of our sainted aunt, Rebecca Lester; and, though flowers now cover her newly- made grave, we feel that no single petal was placed there unworthily. The warmth and radiance of her beau tiful character compelled an answering glow of affection in the hearts of all with whom she associated. Further more, she seemed to have a subtle power that reached the inner life, evok ing all the good there was in people, putting them under a kind of sacred obligation to be true and right. Life doe8 not bring to many heavier burdens than it brought to her; but her unabated confidence in her Maker, her unconditional submission to His will, took away from adversity its gloom, and threw over it a cheerful light. We have thought that a gifted pen, record ing her heroism during the Civil War, could have made a sublime page in his tory. From the time that Lincoln’s memorable call to arms was heard throughout the land, she proved her line sense of the best type of Southern womanhood. With a babe in her arms and six other small children around her she received the r ews of the death of her husband, the late Lewis Lester, in a Federal prison. She raised her face to heaven and made the indomitable resolution that her blighted life should not shadow the future years of her chil dren. Surely, no braver soldier ever shouldered a musket or commanded a brigade. She had reared these children to a splendid maturity, nn honor to her and their country, when the relentless hand of death began to take them away. A few brief years and only two remained — Mrs. T. I. Scroggin, of Newnan, nnd Hon. T. M. Lester, of Grantville. With these, and with her brothers, Thos. F. and IlarriBon Jones, she made her home the last several years. In these homes, and with nieces, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, may be found many and beautiful pieces of household linen done by her own hands since her Tilth year, and in the most delicate hemstitching, embroidery and drawn-work. Sho took only an hour or so each day fur herself, and that for the study of the bible. She handled that rare vol ume with lingering tenderness, poring over it, forgetful of all griefs in the enchantment thus engendered. No astronomer ever studied the stars with a keener joy. To her a simple flower was a pretty expression of the divine creative thought She saw God’s hand in all nature, and grew more enthusi astic in her old age with praise of its rare, pure beauty. Of humble *pirit. »»f taste rHinod, Her feeling* tender, her will resigned; C«Ued by affliction every grace to prove. In patience perfect, complete in love. O’er death victorious, through His might She tcitfhb triumphant in heavenly light. Obituary. On Jan. 15 the tired spirit of Mrs. Mary Cornelia Davis winged its flight to the realms of bliss. Our Savior hushed the lips of pain, closed the eyes, and, clasping her hand within His own, led her over the river into the mystic land, where she now walks amid celes tial spheres the golden paths of light. Oh, how sad it is to think of dear Mary as being dead! How hard it is to give her up! She was so good, so gener ous and kind; yet God knows best. "On earth she nought the Savior's gr:ice On rnrth ah»* loved His name; So now she His blessed face. And Blands before the Lamb.” She was always ready to help the sick and distressed. The loved one we have lost will one day advance to meet us at the gate of eternity to greet us, and will cry unto us, "Thy God is my God." Those who knew her best loved her most. How sad to reflect that we shall not see her again. There is a chair vacant; a couch unfolded, for she is not there; God has claimed her for His own. When the Death Angel knocked at the door of her life she bade him enter as a welcome mes senger, a transporter to bliss eternal. "Weep not that her toils arc over, Weep not that h«*r race is run; God grant we may rest as calmly When our work, like hers, is done. "Till then we yield with gladness Our darling to Him to keep. And rejoice in the sweet assurance He giveth His loved ones sleep.” As a wife she was faithful; as a mother she was mild and gentle: as a friend she was unexcelled, and exerted an influence among those who shared her company that was both beautiful and good. To the bereaved husband and dear little children, whose heartstrings she had closely interlaced with her own, your loss is irreparable, and who can comfort you? I can only point you to Him who binds up all broken heats. You shall miss her dear companionship, her loving presence and sunny smile, and how you will long for— "The touch of a vanished hand. The sound of a voice that is still." Yet we cannot murmur at His will, although our hearts may be wrung with anguish. It seems hard now, but some day we shall understand. After a beautiful discourse from her pastor, Rev. F, J. Amis, the remains were laid to rest in the quiet cemetery at Elim. ' She has passed beyond the shadows Whore no pain or partings come; Death was but the gate opened. To udmit her to her home: Ami the one \vr* miss so sorely Does not lie beneath the sod — 'Twas the form alone we buried— Darling Mary is with God." One Who Loved Her. A great many people would he glad to go back to the farm and enjoy the sunsets if they had somebody to do the work.

Obituary. The saddest news that has come to us in many a day was: "Hewlette Braswell is dead.” It casts a gloom over a community to hear of the death of any of its people; but when one so young, so full of energy and life's hopeful expectations, is cut down by the grim reaper. Death, it makes our sorrowing hearts bleed with grief. Hewlette Braswell, our little friend and neighbor, the only son and child of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Braswell, was | stricken with pneumonia about the first of March, and after all had j thought him almost well, suddenly he was thrown in bed again with meningi- ( tia, resulting in his untimely death: Sunday evening, March 28. Noble little man that he was, Hew lette has gone, and his going is in truth a sad loss to his many friends and associates. He possessed the rare quality of character as solid as a rock wall—an asset in a young man far more to be desired than wealth, learn ing or social honors. To them who know how to appreciate real life, character, more than intellect and goodness, outshines'genius just as the sun makes the great arc light cast a shadow. Hewlette was truthful and honest and always obedient to his pa rents. The loss to a community of such a life and character cannot be estimated. His life seems to us so short, yet it was filled with many no ble deeds, and his sunny smile will linger with us as long as life lasts. May God help us to realize that the same God of love that gave him to us has taken him away; that all earthly possessions are His, and He expects to call for each of us sooner or later. He was tenderly laid away in Mace donia cemetery, under a mound covered with spring’s loveliest flowers. The pallbearers were six of his lifelong friends and chums —Ray Potts, Hew lette Potts, Muller Jones, Yates Jones, Naaman Watkins and Wilkes Sanders. Mrs, Marvin Starr. Roscoe, Ga. April 12th 1915. Obituary. On Jan. 28, 1915, the Death Angel entered our humble little home and bore away our darling little boy, Jesse Clinton aged 7 months and 19 days. He was a sweet child, whose infantile graces made him the joy of our hearts and the pride of the home. It is hard, so hard, to give up our loved ones; but when God calls we must go. Our hearts ache, and time may not heal the wound, yet in anguish we murmur our submis sion to the divine decree, saying, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” We know our dear babe is only sleeping— "asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep”—and some sweet day we hope to join him in that celestial city where ail is peace and joy evermore, never to part again. We thank God for His healing touch in binding tip our broken hearts, and are grateful to our neighbors and friends for their kindness and sympa thy in our deep sorrow. The little body was laid to rest in Sharpsburg cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Rev. R. M. Stevens. Mother. All Blood Disorders Quickly Driven Away Astonishing Results Vlith the Greatest Blood Purifier Ever Discovered. April 5th. 1915. lula J. Brown. Bankers, warehousemen and supply men generally are not going to be in clined to make loans or advances to farmers who do not pitch their crops this year more on the self-supply sys tem than has been the rule heretofore; for they know thpt it will not be a safe proposition. The farmer who doesn't pitch his crops and plan his operations with the view of making cotton a sur plus crop rather than the principal crop this year, cannot hope to meet his obligations next fall if he has to go in debt this spring.

S. so directs the local cells that this poison is rejected and eliminated from their presence. Then, too, S. S.
