It is of vital importance that the quality and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of buyers—competition brings top
prices. After thoroughly investigating SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and nave undertaken its distribution in this
vicinity.

FORESTRY NOTES.
Statistics show that Georgia is
losing an ahnual revenue of $17,-
500,000 from her forest tracts be
cause of improper management.
This waste is caused from lack of
funds.
President Stone stresses co-opera
tion on part of public and state in-'
to prevent losses by forest
fires. There is a crying need for
public sentiment on the subject.
It is confidently expected that the
next session of the general assembly
will find a way of stopping forest
fire 3. The state is losing $1,000,000
annually on them.
A moderate appropriation of $lO,-
000 per year should be granted, but
regardless of what the legislature
does the Georgia Forestry Associa
tion will push its educational pro
gram.

SENATOR GEORGS BUSY
ON COMMITTEE WORK
Washington, January 22.—Senator
George has been very busy the past
week handling committee work. Es
pecially has he been busy in the
open hearings before the joint session
of the civil service committee of the
senate and the house, on civil retire
ment. The commttee has before if
consideration of all the civil retire
ment pay of all persons in classified
civil service. Among the interesting
developments of the opening hear-,
ings is announcement that under the
present retirement law of May, 1920,
the government will have to provide
approximately $386,000,000 for the
retirement fund. This amount should
now be carried on the books of the
treasury, but has never been entered
thereon. The fun| not needed at
this time to provide annuities, but
will become necessary within the
next few years and, for this reason,
is a liability of the government.
Senator George has been appointed
one of the sub-committee of the com
mittee of privilges and elections, the
other members of which are Senator
James Wadsworth, Jr., of New
York, and Senator Frank Green, of
Vermont, to study, perfect and re
port on national legislation govern
ing the election of members of the
house of representatives and the
senators, fixing' the amount which
may be expended, in primary and
general election by candidates for
the house and senate, and regulating
the expenditure of funds by candi
dates for these offices. This legis
lation is rgarded as highy important
in view of the decision of the su
preme court of the United States in
the Newberry case.

Fish and Game Association Will Fea
( ture Competitive Events and Give
j Exhibition of Many Trophies.
Atlanta, Ga., January 23.—Trap
shooting, bait casting ami fly casting
will be principal events at Atlanta’s
first annual sportsman’s show, ac
cording to plans which have been
launched here by the Georgia Fish
and Game Protective Association.
The tournament is to be held this
year.
In addition to the competitive fea
tures an exhibition of trophies of
the field and stream will be held.
Such a tournament, it was stated,
is held annually in New York and in
Chicago and attracts hundreds of
hunters and men interested in all
outdoor sports, many of whom are
from the south.
The primary object behind the
tournament plati is to call attention
to the work already being done by
the fish and game association. Since
its organization a year ago, 350
members have been enrolled and un
der its influence more hunters ap
plied for state licenses than ever be
fore in the history of the state.
Members in outlying communities
report that “game hogs” have be
come almost as scarce a 3 wild tur
keys—this, too, in a season when the
visible and discoverable supply of
quail and ducks is greater than in
many years past.
The work being done by the Geor
gia orgnization, it was stated here at
the headquarters at 60 North Broad
street, is in line with that accom
plished in the noTth and east. Penn
sylvania especially has strict l«Ws
and well enforced.
The officers of the Georgia Fish
and Game Protective Association are:
Carlton Y. Smith, president; John
W. Martin, vice president; Trammell
Scott, secretary. The executive com
mittee is composed of W. R. C. Smith,
Carlton Y. Smith, Peter S. Twitty,
John W. Martin, Trammell Scott, Dr.

Accidents at Grad# Crossings.
The year 1923 shows an unusual
record of deaths given as a toll to
grade crossings, according to At
lanta railway executives who are
cooperating in a national care-at
crosgings campaign now .being pro
moted by the railroads of the coun
try. As announced, money prizes
have been offered by the American
Railway Association, composed of
all the railroads, for the best poster
and the best slogan on the subject.
It must not be understood, railway
men said, that the accidents are due
entirely to the carelessness of the
operators of ths railroads. A large
percentage of the accidents, it is
shown, are due to careless drivers
and to those under the influence of
liquor.
The railroad officials, it is pointed
out, have exercised every care and
precaution to prevent accidents and
at every crossing there stands a
glaring sign-board warning the pob
fic from crossing without first being
certain that no trains are near.
With all this precaution taken by the
railroads many accidents, it is as
serted, are occurring daily through
out the country in practically every
instance, it is claimed, the respon
sibility rests upon the driver of the
automobile.
“Safety First Watchword.
“Safety first should be the watch
word with every driver of an auto
mobile, motorists here point out,
whether crossing a railroad gracte
crossing or traversing the streets of
the city. Some allowance should be
made, too, it is shown, for the aver
age pedestrian who is careless at
times in crossing the street. Many
without thought, as shown by recent
accidents in Atlanta, walk across the
pathway of the auto without realiz
ing the danger until it is too late.

charge all duties of the office.
Here are a few items that I am
not in favor of, and some that 1 am:
I don’t believe in a county com
missioner being clerk of board of
commisioners.
I am not in favor of convicta
staying in winter quarters the year
round, and being transported to
their work in trucks,
Am not in favor of the county be
ing cut in three departments, for
there Is more or less friction with
board of commissioners.
Believe in the tax payers knowing
twice a year by an itemized state
ment through the papers where their
money has been spent.
In favor of all road taxes being
spent in the district where it was
collects?*.-
Under the system that Gwinnett
county has been run for several

save the county at least $3,000 per
year.
