IRWINTON, WILKINSON COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1914.
LITTLE NEWS ITEMS
THROUGHOUT STATE
Thomasville. —As the resiilt of inju
ries received by being thrown from
his horse, Fred Beverly, 19-year-old
son of T. C. Beverly of Ochlochnee,
died at his home.
Milledgeville.—Prof. John S. Allen,
for the past six years superintendent
of schools at Albany, Ga., has been
elected as professor in the Georgia
Normal and Industrial college to suc
ceed Prof. A. L. Suhrie.
Milledgeville.—The farmers of Bald
win county are holding their cotton,
awaiting developments in the present
crisis. About four hundred bales have
been brought to this city and stored
in the warehouses.
Macon. —Erle M. Donalson, the new
United States district attorney for the
southern district of Georgia, who has
taken up his duties here, announces
that there will be no change in the
present staff until the November term
of court is held.
Milledgeville.—The tax rate for Bald
win county was* fixed by the county
commissioners. The rate was reduced
from J 12.50 to 58.50 per thousand. This
with the state reduction of 50 cents on
the thousand makes a total reduction
of J 4.50 per thousand.
Savannah.—Because they believe if
they return to England they will be
made prisoners of war, five Germans,
members of the crew of the British
steamship, Egyptians, have left the
vessel and instituted proceedings in
the*federal court to collect wages due
them.
Waycross.—Showing the lowest fire
loss ever recorded for one month anc
the least number of alarms, the Au
gust report for the fire department,
made public, shows that Waycross
suffered but $5 from fire and this cov
ered by insurance. Only two alarms
were turned in.
Americus. —Orders were given for
enlargements of two of the largest cot
ton warehouses here and substantial
brick additions will be made immedi
ately. More storage room is required
for storing tbe cotton crop locally, as
farmers show determination not to sell
at current prices. Four thousand bales
have been received in Americus al
ready, and less than 300 bales sold.
Rome. —The “buy a bale of cotton
plan,” suggested by Isaac JJ. Haaa
of Atlanta, has been indorsed by the
Rome Woman’s Club. At a meeting
held here the members of the club
put themselves on record as being
heartily in sympathy with the plan,
and a resolution was passed ordering
the treasurer to purchase one bale
of cotton flor the organization at the
price of production, 10 cents.
Savannah. —Five of Savannah’s lead
ing cotton factorage houses organized
the United Cotton Warehouse corpora
tion. A charter was applied for. The
purpose of the company is to provide
facilities for housing all of the cotton
that may be shipped to Savannah
from the interior. If necessary ware
houses will be built.
LaGrange.—The fourth congression
al convention met at Warm Springs
for the purpose of nominating a con
gressman and transacting such other
business as might come before them.
Hon. W. C. Adamson, who was elected
congressman in the democratic pri
mary, was declared the choice of the
convention by a rising vote of the
delegates, the convention dispensing
with the usual form of ballots.
Washington.—Three companies of
coast artillery—one each from Charles
ton, Savannah and Fort Dupont —have
been ordered to Panama for duty at
the canal fortifications. General Wa
ver, chief of the coast artillery, said
that the war department planned to
increase the canal force as the fortifi
cations neared completion, and ulti
mately would station twelve companies
of artillery in the canal zone,
Cartersville.*—Cartersville claims the
credit of having the first citizen to
put the proposed “buy-a-bale-of-cotton”
policy to the practical test. Robert
M. McCormick, who lives near Car
tersville, in passing a ginnery, stopped
P. F. Lee, a farmer, to know- whether
his bale of cotton was for sale. Mr.
McCormick offered 12 cents per pound,
which is much above the current price.
The sale was made.
Macon.—Mandamus proceedings are
to be instituted in the superior court
against County Treasurer M. Lettice
to compel him to honor salary vouch
ers issued by the county commission
ers. On the advice of Joe Hill Hall
that to pay the vouchers would be un
constitutional, Treasurer Lettice has
declined to do so, though personally he
says he appreciates the value of the
work of the insjJfectors. The case will
be carried to the supreme court, no
matter which way it is decided.
Cordele.—That the effects of the Eu
ropean war have been a lesson to the
farmers of Crisp county against the
yusduction of cotton as a chief money
crop and will bring about an influ
ence that will result largely in the di
versification of crops and a turning
back to the “live at home” plan, could
easily be observed at a meeting of the
business men and farmers at the court
house.
