and has had valuable experience
in this line which will come in
handy at the approaching session
of the legislature, which convenes
on the fourth Wednesday in this
month. His friends heartily con
gratulate him upon his success at
the polls last Friday.
Mr. Additon, who ran second
in the race, appeared before the
people for the first time as a can
didate for political office. He is a
most excellent young business
man of Flowery Branch, and has
the esteem of all who know him.
He made a very creditable show
ing in the race, considering that
he was known to but a few peo
ple of the county.
Mr. H. H. Stephens was also a
candidate who had had legislative
experience, he having served one
term in the House. Entering the
race at a late date and being un
able to make anything like a can
vass of the county he piled up a
good vote.

^Sensible Decision.
The railroad commission of
Georgia has continued until next
year its rule allowing the news
papers to give advertising space
in exchange for transportation.
As The Press has already said
this is not a matte? which con
cerns us directly, but many of the
weekly papers have arrangements
by means of which a railroad
shows its schedule in its columns
and pays the price, not in money,
but in transportation. We can
see no reason why this system husband and

If the Georgia editor wants to sell
his space for watermelons or cord
wood or railroad fare, let him do
it. If the farmer‘Wants to carry
his corn to the mill and pay a cer
tain part of it as toll for the grind
ing, who is to interfere? We be
lieve the railroads and newspapers
are gradually getting to a closer
system of business when both
may find it better to pay in cash
for all they order and all they get.
However, in some sections pub
lishers and the passenger agents
swap tickets for time tables and
the railroad commission might see
that there is nothing in the pro
cess to offend the law. The de
cision to the contrary might be
an edict in restraint of trade.—

Twenty Cent Pieces Scarce.

Increase Production Per
Acre.
Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—One of
the reasons which have been giv-
by President Finley, of the
Southern Railway Company, for
advocating the adoption by the
farmers of the South of methods
that will tend to increase the
average production of cotton per
acre is that it is of the highest
importance that the South should
preserve the great economic ad
vantage which it enjoys by reason
of having a substantial monopoly
of the production of the cotton
supply of the world. If this ad
vantage is to be preserved, for
eign manufactures must not be
driven to encourage cotton grow
ing in other countries by'the fail
ure of American planters to pro
duce an adequate supply. Thus
far, efforts to increase cotton pro
duction outside of the United
States have not met with grent
success, but there are possibilities
in that direction in Africa, South
ern Asia and Australia. That cot
ton production might successfully
be carried on in some parts of
Australia is indicated by the fol-
] owing extract from a report from
United States Vice-Consul Gen
eral Henry D. Baker, at Aukland,
New Zealand:
“Cotton growing, as an adjunct
to farming in suitable districts in
Queensland, especially near the
town of Ipswich, appears to be
makfhg some progress, and to be
profitable, yielding $45 to $85 per
acre, seed, and $75 to $100 per
acre, ginned, for upland cotton,
and more for sea island. A bonus
given to the grower by the
Commonwealth Government to
he extent of 10 per cent on the
nvoice value. The Queensland
Department of Agriculture is
making strong efforts to induce
farmers to plant larger areas,
particularly in the driest areas,
where grain crops are uncertain.
“The only cotton mills in Aus
tralia are situated at Ipswich,
Queensland. They were construct
ed some 14 years ago, but little
work was done until 1906, when
57,127 pounds of raw cotton were
put through. This was increased
to 85,000 pounds in 1908. The
mills were then purchased by a
Sidney firm, which made some
much needed improvements, and
who have kept them working ev
er since.”
New. Managers White Sulphur
Springs Hotel.
Messrs E. D. Ferrell Jr. and J.
W. Oglesby J/.,. will manage the
White Sulphur Springs and cot
tages this season. They arrived
in the city Saturday and have tak
en the hotel and cottages in charge
already. Mr. Ferrell is a son of
Mr. E. D. Ferrell, and has been in
terested with his father in the act
ive management of the Values at
Valdosta, and the St. Nicholas at
Albany, two of the largest and
best hotels in South Georgia.' Mr.
Oglesby is a son of Mr. J. W*
Oglesby, owner of the White Sul
phur Springs property, and is al
ready well known to the people
of this section. This is one of the
best hotels and resorts ini the
South, and there is no reason why
the hotel and every cottage
should not be full the entire seas
on. No doubt the gentlemen who
'>pi now in active charge of the
nocef and cottages will have all
the guests they can handle from
now until the close of the season,
AtFirst Methodist Church.
Dr. C. E. Dowman filled his
pulpit at the First Methodist church
Sunday morning and evening and
he was greeted with large
congregations at both services.
The Sunday before there were no
services at this church and the
congregations of Dr. Dowman
were anxious for the messages he
delivered in the two sermons of
Sunday.
