Along with the reported reduction in
the acreage in cotton comes the cer
tainty of an increase In the acreage
devoted to corn and other grain crops.
Georgia has raised at least 80 per
cent, more oats this year than
last, and the increase in the yield of
wheat has teen equally as large From
all over the State— even from South
Georgia, which is not supposed to be a
good section for small grain —the news
cornea that the Hour mills have been
running day and night, and many of
them are far behind with their grind
ing. Take the State over, and thpcorn
crop has not been so promising in
years. This prospect is not confined to
Georgia, either. An extensively
traveled gentleman said the other day
that he had seen corn out in Mississippi
equal to any he had ever seen in Iowa.
All this, of course, means more meat,
and more lard, and more bacon, and
more independence*. Surely, the South
will soon come into its own.
The future is not without its clouds,
however. Cotton may not command a
very profitable price next fall. With
the indefinite continuance of the Euro
pean war, it is unreasonable to expect
much of an advance in the price; but
conditions that make a low price for
cotton also make certain high prices for
provisions. With this prospect before
us, it is a matterof gratulation that the
people of the State and of tha South
are in a better position to take care of
themselves than they have been in
many years.
We do not believe that the complica
tions growing out of the questions at
issue between this country and Ger
many will result in anything mure se
rious, even if the worst comes to the
worst, than a severing of diplomatic
relations, and this will have little affect
on the price of cotton, as Germany is
getting very little of our cotton any
way; so we think there is no reason to
be alarmed.
With smaller hills for commercial
fertilizers to pay, and with smaller ac
counts of every sort to settle, tho
South is not facing bankruptcy by any

TAXES'; DEXOMIXA’l lO.XAE COL
LEGES,
For several years an effort lias been
made to have repealed that part of the
Constit ition of the Stale which places
a tax upon denominational colleges,
but up to this time there has been no
submission of the question to the peo
ple of Georgia to decide by their vote
what should be done in the matter.
At last there seems a probability that
tho proposition will reach the voters of
the State. My an almost unanimous vote
the Semite has passed the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, and it
is to lie presumed that the House will
take like aetion. it is hardly u matter
of doubt as to what the vote of the
people will be when the measure
reaches them.
This tax on denomunational colleges
was unknown in Georgia until the Con
stitution of ls'7 was adopted, its pur
pose, when put into the document as
then framed, was to place a tax on ne
gro schools supported by people out
side of Georgia. Mut it failed of its
object, for the people who were willing
to give money to educate negroes could
and did not invest their money where
the tax laws of the State could not
reach it. Its only effect was to place
u burden upon a few stiuggling and
hard-pressed church schools, maintained
by our own people.
These church institutions are not
operated for monev. Most of the men
and women who teach in them could do
better in other fields, in point of salary.
Some of the best educators of the
State have been driven from these
schools because they could not afford to
do the work for the meager pay they
were receiving; yet all the time these
same schools have been sending out
some of the best trained men and wo
men in the commonwealth, many of
whom could not have obtained a fin
ished education under less generous
conditions. Denominational colleges
have always been helpers and friends
of the poor.

After carefully checking the Tax

Commissioner’s record of amounts re

was cleared of $175,5110 of worthless
taxes, thus leaving a clean net gain of
$313,555, as shown ahove.
Total property returned by whites,
$7,582,316; colored, $330,719.
Tax Receiver Smith has been doing
so tie splendid work in tracing and elim
inating the amounts charged against
defaulters, (many of whom are now
dead or moved away, > and which have
been carried over from year to year as
a “dead asset," so to speak. His di
gest is a model of clerical neatness and
accuracy.

A daily vacation bible school was
opened Monday, 5th inst . in the Sun
day-school room of the First Baptist
church with an enrollment of 40. In
creasing interest has heen manifested
by both children and parents, and the
enrollment this morning was 150. Quite
a number of patrons and friends nave
visited the school and express their ap
preciation of the splendid work that is
being done.
The daily vacation bible school move
ment was atarted in New York several
years ago, in response to a threefold
need. The idle school children were
restless at home and spent most of the
time in the streets, for lack of a play
ground. There were idle colleg- stu
dents at home for the summer, who
were making no use of their training
for service among their home people,
and there were the idle church build
ings, which were opened one day in
seven, to be tightly closed as soon as
preaching services were over. It was
the purpose of the bible sphoolB to cause
the colh ge students to feel their re
sponsibility toward the school children,
whom they could direct in lineB of use
fulness and service, and to use the
well-equipped Sunday-school rooms for
places of training. The movement has
spread rapidly, and several of the col
lege girls of Newnan have had expe
rience in the bible schools.
The school here is under the super
vision of Miss Nora Flemming, who re
cently completed a training course in
Atlanta, after the close of the public
schools there. She has char.e of the
basketry d partment, and a large class
of hoys and girls have been working on
rattan and raffia baskets this week.
The sewing department is conducted
by Miss Louise Byram, who has studied
domestic art at the Georgia Normal and
Industrial College. The older girls are
doing different kinds of fancy work,
while the smaller girls are studying
plain finger sewing.
Misses Bartie Flemming and Carolyn
Milner, who have had experience in
primary work and are well adapted for
teaching the little folks, have charge of
the kindergarten department.
The opening half hour is spent in de
votional exercises, the bible stories be
ing told by Miss Carolyn Milner, who
graduated from the Baptist Missionary-
Training School at Louisville, Ky., this
summer.
The school is open from 9 to 12, and
visitors will be gladly welcomed. This
is a splendid movement for our town,
and deserves the hearty co-opt ration
and support of all our people.
State Council Jr. 0. U. A. M. to
Meet in Newnan.
The twentieth regular session of the
State Council, Jr. O. U. A. M., will be
held in Newnan on Aug. 1U and 11, and
Newnan Council is making extensive
preparations for the entertainment of
the visiting brethren. One hundred and
thirty-five representatives will be in
attendance for the two-days' session,
accredited from one hundred local coun
cils in Georgia, which have a total mem
bership of over 6,000. The session will
he presided over by State Councilor
Benj. S. Symons, of Savannah.
While here the visitors will be given
a barbecue at Ray Bark on the evening
of Aug 10, at 6 o’clock, which will he
attended also by members of the local
council and their families. On the
same evening, at 8 o'clock, there will
be a public entertainment at the court
house, officers of the State Council
directing and taking part in the exer
cises. Music will be furnished by
Astin's orchestra.
Newnan Council has now a member
ship of 130, and is growing rapidly. Its
treasury is in fine condition, atffl its
members are active and wideawake,
encouraging and assisting every good
work helpful to Americans and Amer
ican institutions.
The forty-second regular and fifth
biennial session of the National Coun
cil was held on June 15, at Cedar Point,
O., and the reports of the officers showed
a wonderful growth, both in membership
and finances. The funeral benefit de
partment was shown to be in excellent
condition, the cash surplus on May 1
being $455,862 96. Claims paid to fam
ilies of deceased members from Oct. 1,
1901, to May 31, 1915, aggregated $3,-
850,501.10.
The national orphans’ home, located
at Tiffin, O., is open to children of de
ceased members who may be unaole to
care for themselves. Here they are
educated, and taught some useful oc
cupation to enable them to become
self-supporting.
The citizens of Newnan are asked to
co-operate with the local council in
providing accommodations and enter
tainment for the visitors on Aug. 10
and 11. Some of the representatives
will arrive on the evening of Aug. 9.

Fruit and Vegetable Containers.
Now that the canning season is on,
doubtless many will need to purchase
new containers for their fruits and veg
etables. '
Where products are packed for home
use only, the glass jars are most eco
nomical. Best ones to buy are those
having clamp tops, since these are so
easily used in intermittent processing,
and the caps (being glass) do not need
to be replaced each year. The old screw
top, with its grooves, is hard to keep
sanitary, turns up on the sides, and
damages the rubber in intermittent
processing, oftentimes making it nec
essary to put on new rubber at the last
processing, or else endanger the keep
ing value of the product.
Where the mere looks of the product
while in the can is not questioned col
ored glass is all right, but where fruit
is packed for sale or to be placed on
exhibition, by all means use clear flint
glass, as this shows up the product to
best advantage.
An even, pretty pack is much more
easily secured in a square-shaped jar.
When packing relishes, pickles, pre
serves, etc., for sale, special shaped
containers are needed.
It is not the mere name of a certain
preserve or pickle, but the attractive
ness of a product that causes the pur
chaser to buy; and in order to have our
products attractive they must be in
new containers of uniform size, and
packed uniformly—that is, all in one
jar must he of uniform size.

Momentous Future
In Woman’s Mind
The expectant
mother revolves in
her mind all we un
derstand by destiny.
And It is of the utmost
importance that her
physical comfort be
our tlrst thought. There
is a most splendid rem
edy for this purpose,
known as “Mother's
Friend." It is applied
over the muscles of the
stomach, gently rubbed
in, and at once penetrates to relieve all
strain on nerves, cords, ligaments and all
parts involved. It makes the muscles so
pliant that they expand naturally. And at
the same time they are invigorated by the
absence of harassing pains so apt to distress
the mind. Whatever will add to the comfort
of the expectant mother is a great and help
ful influence since a calm and peaceful period
must have a wonderfully benetlcial impress
upon the coming child. Get a bottle of
“Mother's Fri-nd" of any druggist and you
will realize why so many women declare it

poses those having soldered tops should
be chosen. Ones sealed with waxed
cord are all right for tomatoes, peaches
and other products that require only
one proces-ing, but for intermittent
processing they are useless, unless new
cord is used after each processing. The
cans having a solder rim made on them
are much more easily used than those
having no solder rim.
Discard all tin cans that have even a
tiny rust spot on the inner side.
Some products, such as beets, should
be packed in lacquered (enameled) tins,
in order that the natural color may be

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with local treat
ment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken internally. It acts di
rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi
