A COTTONLESS FARM.
Is a cottonless farm in Georgia
feasible —and can it be made profi
table? rom Twiggs county comes
the answer in the affirmative. There
is such a farm near Jeffersonville
and it is both profitable and success
ful. J. R. Cook is the Georgia plant
er who has shown what can be done
©n cottonless acreage. D. S. Mc-
Ghee, the county agent of Twiggs,
tells how he does it. And this is
the Way:
Mr. Cook has diversified his crop
through a wide range of products,
and consequently is in better shape
this fall than the cotton farmers of
his section. His products have been
conservatively estimated as worth
;iore than $6,000.
' acres of peanuts that will
produce more than twenty-five bush
els to the acre, 100 acres of pea vine
hay already saved, 150 acres of corn
with velvet beans and peas, two
acres of sugar cane, which will make
seventy-five gallons to the acre, four
acres of sweet potatoes, thirty acres
of oats with a bumper crop, are all
among the products of Mr. Cook’s
farm this year.
Besides the foregoing, Mr. Cook
has 9,000 bearing peach trees on his
place. He carries a yard of 300
Rhode Island Red Hens, for which
he has a modern poultry yard, with
incubators and brooders. About fif
ty hogs and forty head of cattle also
add to Mr. Cook’s income.
Flounty agents throughout the
state ought to get Mr. Cook to travel
around and tell the rest of Georgia
how he has done this trick. It would
be a Cook’s tour genuinely worth
while.
TOO POOR TO SCRAP SHIPS.
Poor Uncle Sam. He certainly has
troubles. It has been announced
■*that he intends to scrap a number
'of warships and now the poor old
nan pleads that he is so poor he
hasn’t any money to do this. In the
Brooklyn Navy Yard are two battle
ships, the Indiana and South Dako
•ta, destined for the scrap heap, but
there is no noise of demolition un
der way on the government reserva
t on. The reason is that tho govern
ment hasn’t any money to spend in
knocking ships down. It takes mon
key to build battleships and it also
'< takes money to scrap ’em. And Con
gress neglected to appropriate any
'•contingent fund for the work to be
gin when the treaty was ratified.
Hence the payroll at the yard goes
to only about 500 employes where it
might run as high as 5,000. A few
idwtroyers are in for fixing up after
a European cruise, the old Wyom
ing is in a snug berth and the old
INorth German-Lloyd liner Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse, half war paint
and half rust, lies awaitnig her fate.
Meanwhile work on breaking up
the cruisers ifaust await Congression

000 to $150,000 to get the hulls in
shape to be launched and towed
away from the navy yard, so the de
partment is reported to be proceed
ing on the theory that they will have
to be broken up where 'they lie.
Present plans are to ask for bids on
breaking them and perhaps for bids
on the material to be salvaged.
Meanwhile such odd bits as are not
in place and such stores and sup
plies as might be useful in the con
struction of ships permitted under
the Washington treaty—airplane
carriers, light cruisers and so forth
are being transferred to other
yards where such work is being done.
It is an awful thing to be so poor
you can’t find money to do what you
promise your copartners in a trans
action you will do.
AN ADVERTISING FAKIR.
Fake advertising schemes that lo
ers wouldn’t be a party to
can be put over by a slick tongued
traveling man in the flash of an eye,
despite the depression and hard
times. —Walton Tribune.
That is very true. The advertising
fakir can come into a town and
’skin” ’em quick, whereas a legiti
mate proposition would be turned
down without consideration or
thought.
Recently—very recently—a little
slobbery mouthed fellow, dressed in
a light suit, a dirty shirt and a dirtier
hot springs diamond, breezed into
the fair city of Dalton. He was an
“advertising expert.” This we know,
because he said so. He wanted to
get out a city directory, then he
wanted to get out something else,
and then again he wanted to —oh,
well, he wanted to do just something
to get money enough to get out of
town on.
And he did!
Ten business firms of Dalton bit,
counting us who did the printing,
eleven.
We did it for nothing, and those
who gave out the advertising got
nothing, except a request to pay
when shrown a card with the adver
tising appearing on it.
That lone card is th e only one
that left this office, for we refused
to deliver them without the cash.
We have them here as a reminder of
our suckership, which is a good in
vestment, insomuch as we will know
how to act in the future when an ad
vertising fakir breezes in in his lord
ly fashion.
But the cards, which were to be
framed and hung in the business of
fices of the advertisers are still with
us, unframed, unseen, unused and
unread.—Dalton Citizen.

To provide a better understanding of the economic factor
uwlerlying motor transportation in every part of the world,
«Ta first International Motor Transport Congress ever held in
tPi- United States will be convened in May, 1924, in the_ city of
Detroit. The congress will be under the auspices of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Delegates will attend from
all quarters of the civilized globe. The conference is to last four
days. 0
The automotive industry is of first economic importance in
this country, whatever it may be abroad, and it will be well
for those who have their millions invested in it to have brought
home to them the fact that the great American market for the
automobile is the American small town and the American farm.
m e teeming millions in the great cities might lead the
unthinking to imagine that all the motor cars in the world are
bought by the rich city folk, but actually the city consumption
is small as compared with that of the country. More nearly
seventy than fifty per cent of all of the cal's manufactured in
this country, we are told, are bought in towns up to 5,000
population. The sooner the manufacturers have this fact driven
home to them the sooner will they see the necessity of giving
greater aid to the small town local dealers, many of whom do
such yeoman work in the stimulation and creating of a market
for the manufacturers they represent. Some manufacturers with
forward vision fully appreciate what the local dealer is doing;
but others fail to sense his importance and do not appreciate
his effort.
Great as is the absorption of motor cars in the country, it
would be even greater if the average local dealer could afford
to cover his potential market more intensively. What he needs
is backing to the limit, and no more constructive work can be
done at the coming conference than the work of bringing before
the industry the actual truth regarding the cultivation of the
small town motor market, the backbone of American consump
tion, of everything that is worthwhile.
When the Scotchman returning from a visit to London was asked
how he liked the town he said it was wonderful but that the people were
not honest. He bought a box of matches — 1,000 for a l>enny —and
found the box contained only 982. We wonder what he would say of our
political promises before election and political performances after
wards. Don’t forget the season of political docility is at band. Gather
your roses while ye may.
We saw a soldier the other day—that is, he had been a soldier in the
{rent war. Now he is selling needles from house to house—needles —
nade in Germany. Surely the housewife finds herself on the horus of
a dilemma.

The great controversy within rv

great facts:
First: The Infallible Bibi.e. >
The holy scriptures
state that they are Inspired by ; ;
mighty God, therefore Infaiillu*.
Jesus Christ while on earth testified
to their authority. Infallibility a-id
right to supremacy In one's life. To
orthodox church of Jesus Christ tes
tilled to their infallibility. They are
the Word of God—the only rule oi
faith and practice.
Of course Satan is trying to break
down belief fn the authority of the
scriptures. Ruttenalisttc forces, the
forces of infidelity, atheism, social
ism and Bolshevism are denying that
the scriptures are’ Infallible. They
are doing it because they want to
destroy the authority of the scrip
tures. If the agencies of sin can
destroy the scriptures risen they have
an easy road to the satisfaction of
all the lusts and passions' of human
nature.*
Second: The Viboin Birth
The same set of forces are denying
the fact of the virgin birth of Jesus
Christ. God decided upon the plan
for His incarnation. That plan: de
cided and created by the Triune God,
fixed the virgin birth as the instru
ment for the incarnation. There l
fore, the virgin birth is proof posi
tive that Jesus Christ is the son of
God. Satan knows that fact. There
fore. If he could destroy belief ini
the virgin birth he could logically
destroy belief in Jesus Christ as the'
Son of God.
There is no fact in history more
lierfectly established Gian the fact
that Jesus Christ was born of the
virgin, and therefore L) the Son of
God.

Convenience and correct dress
demand two watches
In the office and on the road, and when a man
pursues his outdoor hobbies, a strap watch proves
an invaluable possession.
So too should a woman wear a strap watch for sport.
The intricate mechanism of her dress wristlet should not
be put to the continued stress of such rigorous activity.
Yet with evening dress a man’s strap watch becomes
incongruous and a woman’s sport model an ornament of
doubtful taste. They who hold convenience and correct
dress as things of consequence, possess two watches—
a strap watch for business and the sports, and a dress
watch for social wear.
Our extensive showing of watches dressed in the
popular Wadsworth White Gold Cases is especially
interesting.
