Well, Here They Are
Our 1924-25 Bargain Offers
AFTER much wrestling with the other publishers we are able to an
nounce what we believe to be Ihe best list of clubbing combinations
ever offered by a Southern farm newspaper, at prices which represent a dis
tinct saving to every subscriber.
When we began these negotiations, it appeared that all prices would be
much higher this year than previous.
Yet when we got down to talking about our ability to produce a big
volume of business for other papers, some of the publishers saw the light and
at the last minute made price reductions which make our clubs even more at
tractive than in the past.
It is true that we have no more A-4’s with nine papers included for only
$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real
stuff listed below.
Study them over, compare them with what other papers are offering,

THOMASTON’S NEW CENSUS
SHOWS POPULATION IS 7,250
Town Nearly Doubled in Size
in Last Four Years —Mail
Carriers Help Take Count
THOMASTON, Ga., Oct. 29. —The
mail carriers have just completed a
census of Thomaston and East Thom
aston, and find that the combined
population of the two towns totals 7,-
250. This figure shows that the pop
ulation has more than doubled in the
last four years, the 1920 census giv
ing approximately 3,600.
The increase has been for the
greater part due to the growing op
eration of the textile mills and the
new constructions under way. The
Thomaston cotton mills and the Peer
less cotton mills have been running
full time for many months, even dur
ing the time when most mills were
on half-time schedule, or closed down.
The plants are now running day and
night. The Thomaston bleachery is
now well under construction, and it
is expected that the operation of this
plant will bring another increase in
population to East Thomaston.
In Thomaston proper, the last year
has seen much development. A num
ber of new business houses have
opened up; many new dwelings have
been completed, and a number of
them are yet tinder construction.
Business is on the boom in Thomas
ton, and this little city now has the
reputation of being one of the most
wide-awake towns in Georgia.

SUM STOCK HI S 3
BI SEM SMOOT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Reply
ing to repeated attacks by Senator
La Follette in connection with the
sugar controversy, Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, has offered to sell
to Mr. La Follette for $3 a share his
stock in the Utah-Idaho Sugar com
pany. He listed his holdings as 440
shares.
Senator La Follette, in Baltimore
last night, charged that Vice Chair
man Culbertson, of the tariff com
mission, had been invited to the of
fice of Mr. Smoot and there had
found a group interested in sugar
duties. He also charged that mem
bers of congress had tried to co
erce the commission to prevent a re
duction in sugar duties.
“The meeting referred to Mr. La
Follette in his speech last evening in
Baltimore,” Senator Smoot said,
“was arranged in the following man
ner:
“The representatives of the Ameri
can producers of sugar complained
to me that the tariff commission in
arriving at the cost of producing
sugar in Cuba, as compared with the
cost in the United States, did not
confine itself to obtaining the latest
available figures of cost but based
the same on the average cost over
a period from 1917 to 1923, which em
braced a period of most violent fluc
tuations in wages, land values and
prices and also carried years be
fore the provision of law granting
the president the power to increase
or decrease the tariff rates. Again
it was plain that the commission Ig
nored the agricultural costs in pro
ducing cane, except in the case of
Hawaii.
'Mr. Culbertson came to my com
mittee room and met the above men
tioned producers, some eight or nine
of them. It is stated that Mr. Hodges
(treasurer of the Republican national
committee), was at the meeting.
There were two men present that I
did not know. It may be that Mr.
Hodges was one of them. The meet
ing was held but a short time dur
ing which Mr. Mead (the representa
tive of the sugar producers of Ha
waii, presented the case to Mr. Cul
bertson along the above lines. Mr.
Culbertson made a very brief state
ment and left the committee room.
He stated he wanted to be fair with
the industry and that was about all
he said. No request was made of
him by myself or any one else at
that meeting.
“It is true that I am a stockhold
er in the Utah-Idaho Sugar com
pany, holding 440 shares. I have
never owned more than this amount
in my life in the said company. If
Mr. La Follette wants to buy said
amount, I will sell it to him at $3
a share.”

DfflT BUCK HOME
AT MOULTRIE: SAYS
ROBBERS HELD HIM
Councilman Says Abductors
Demanded Combination
to Safe in Bank
MOULTRIE, Ga., Oct. 29.—Telling
a story of kidnaping, robbery and
hardship suffered Monday and Tues
day, J. L. Bryant, member of city
council returned to his home here
late last night. Mr. Bryant, owner
of an automobile service station here,
related details of his being kidnaped
by two men when he carried them a
tire, in response to a telephone call,
several miles from Moultrie. He
says he was held prisoner Monday,
Monday night and until nightfa'l
Tuesday. He is confined to his home
today and his physician is keeping
all callers from his home.
Mr. Bryant, in telling of his being
made prisoner by the two unidenti
fied men, says he was handcuffed
and blindfolded almost immediately
after being seized and driven away
in his own automobile. Ten hours
later, he says, his captors told him
that they desired to know the com
bination of the vault of the Moultrie
Banking company, evidently being
under the impression that he for
merly was in the employ of the
bank. Told that he had no such in
formation he says he was tied to a
tree and threatened with death if he
failed to “come across.” While he
was thus bound Mr. Bryant says a
second car, containing two men,
drove up, after which he was freed
from the first tree but tied to a
second after a drive of two hours.
He says that he was blindfolded
throughout his experiences and does
not know where he was carried, but
passed through a city where street
cars were being operated and in the
same city was driven over a river
bridge, “roar of water” giving him
this information.
He says he was freed
day night at a point he identified
later as eight miles from Albany on
the Columbus-Albany road, and was
permitted to drive to his home in
his own automobile. All the mor<y
on his person, some S2OO, he says,
was taken from him immediately
after he was seized, he says.
Small Chicken Bone, :
Swallowed in Lunch,
Threatens Man’s Life
EATONTON, Ga., Oct. 29.—Frank
W. Holt, proprietor of Holtland
peach orchards and for many years
head floor walker of the M. Rich
Brothers store in Atlanta, is critical
ly ill at the home of his mother-in
law, Mrs. Leo Reid, as a result, it is
reported, of swallowing a small
chicken bone while eating a lunch
en route from Atlanta several days
ago.
The bone swallowed was a part of
what is known as the “pully” bone
of a chicken and so small that when
swallowed little attention was given.
Later infection is said to have set in.
An operation is reported to have re
lieved Mr. Holt somewhat bY re
moval of the bone. He is attended
by his son, Dr. Richmond Reid Holt,
and a slight improvement in his con
dition Monday gave his family and
friends new hope for his ultimate re
covery.
