Watson Case Nol-Prossed
The case against Senetor-elect
Thomas K. Watson, growing out
of his arrest in the Merchants Ho¬
tel here August 19, after he resent¬
ed the behaivor of a party of card
players in the hotel lobby, was or¬
dered nol-prossed by the court here
Wednesday. Mr. Watson paid all
the court costs.
The action was taken with the
consent of Miss Siillie Wiley, pro¬
prietress of the hotel. Her consent
was based on a letter of apology
written to her by the Senator-elect
February 17.
“In view of the full and com¬
plete apology by Mr. Watson, I
consent that all prosecutions that
have grown out of his conduct at
my hotel on the night of August
iS, 1920, may be settled upon his
payment of all costs of prosecution
and the cases nol-prossed.”
Mr. Watson’s letter to Miss Wi¬
ley was as follows :
“Dear Miss Wiley:
“I recently have been informed
that you do not recall that I apolo¬
gized to you on the morning of
August 19, 1920, for the unfortun¬
ate and regrettable occurrence at
your hotel on the previous night,,
to which I was a party.
“You may possibly be correct in
your recollection, hut I have been
under the impression that I made
all the apology to you for what 1
did and said upon that occasion
that a gentleman could make to a
lady, but be that as it may I have
no hesitancy about again express¬
ing my sincere regret for any word
or act of mine that could be con¬
strued as disrespectful or offensive
and to assure you that I regard you
as a lady and entitled to that con¬
sideration which every gentleman
owes a good woman.
“You were kind, courteous and
obliging to me when 1 arrived at
your hotei and did what you could
to make me comfortable, your at¬
tention being such as I needed in
my sick, nervous and feebie condi¬
tion from the burden and strain of
an exceedingly arduous ca"tiaign
during a hot summer, and I feel
grateful for all you did for me.
Assuring )ou of my high personal
regards, I am,
“Y urs ,cer> L ,

‘•A GOOD PROVIDER"
When it comes to being “a good pro¬
vider," no man would pride himself on
furnishing trash liberally for his family.
The family is entitled to good,wholesome
food, that helps growth.
It is the same with reading. Good
reading pleases and creates its own hun¬
ger for more good reading. The Youth’s
Companion is the best of reading for all
—every member—every age.
And it comes every week—crowded
with the best. Let us prove it with a
sample.
The Youth’s Companion has ion g since
ceased to provide for "youth” alone. It
has become the favorite ali-the-family
weekly of America. Its name is a mis¬
nomer, but is retained for the sentiment
it has generated in American homes
through its service to every age.
Only *2.50 for a year of 52 issues. Se¬

County Commissioners Agree
To Have County Agent
At a regular meeting of the
Coun y Commissioners, held in tlie
court house Wednesday, a plea was
placed before this body to consider
the advisability of having a county
agent, and we are glad to report
that they agreed that White coun¬
ty should have one in the near fu¬
ture.
The county board should receive
the highest commendation and
pra se from the good people of
White in submitting themselves to
partly paying i he agent's salary,
in these times of financial stagna¬
tion. They will probably be criti¬
cized i> i heir action by some poor
help 1 .. knocker, but we know that
this body had the interest of the
people at heart, and it shows that
they realized what the people of
White county needed most and
proves their far-sightedness,ability,
intelligence and fearlessness as
servants of our county.
We trust the farmers of White
county will co-operate with the
new r county agent and make his
work a success. We feel confident
you will.

Cornelia Enterprise Announces
New Editor and Bus. Manager
The Cornelia Enterprise in its
last issue tells its readers of a change
in the editorship and management
of the Enterprise. The publisher,
Mr. S. E. Edwards, states that he
has been handicapped in publish
ing the Enterprise on account of
help and lack of patronage, but
since he has secured Mr. Chas.
Temple, an experienced orchard
man, is editor and business man¬
ager, one of these obstacles has
overcome, and we trust the other
will be met. Cornelia should sup¬
port a good weekly newspaper, but
that suppjrt cannot be hot air.
The merchants of Buena Vista
Marion county met Monday of last
week and organized a Board of
Trade and elected officers including
a publicity agent. They have set
aside the last Saturday of each
month for a Trade Day and invited
the farmers to bring in that day
anything they cared to sell and the
horse, mule, cow, calf, pig or any¬
thing they have to sell will be sold
at auction. On that day they will
hold a free barbecue dinner, and a
number of encouraged citizens have
donated bread, hogs and calves,
coffee and sugar to help out in the
feast. This is not bad idea and
worth a trial at least—Cornelia En¬
terprise.
We believe in keeping your
trade at home—in building up the
business of your home merchant.
The money you send away to the
mail order houses and to adjoining
cities you hud just as well kiss it
good-bye. It will puy no taxes to
keep up your streets, it wil ; not
help to furnish you lights—it will
not help te school your children. It
is out of circulation so far as your
community is concerned. Bui
when you do buy at home for good¬
ness sake buy of the merchant who
adveitises -that helps keep up
your home paper. You would not
live in a town that did tipt support
a school or a church, and no town
will thrive that does not support a
live paper.—Cornelia Enterprise.

CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Produc¬
tion Cost Through Food
Making and Saving.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—"A right¬
about-face movement in 1921 Is necea
Bary If the farmers of the South are
to got on sate, firm ground again,"
said II. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
“It looks as if we all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the dan¬
ger signals flying and the disregard
of plain facts as to costs of cotton
production. We have repeated our fal
lies of 1911 and 1914 -and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that Is now
below cost of production.
"With few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup¬
ply merchant charges for them.
“Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time of war prices is
over and the problem from now on Is
to lower cost of xiroduction and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
“Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor¬
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot¬
ton costs from one-third to one-half.
"Plant for an abundance of food,
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much. We can¬
not, with European countries so thor¬
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
“AU/bt of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting In 1921—
the making on home acres of every
pound of food and grain needed to see
us through.
"!n this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden seri¬
ously. Give the home garden a square
deal and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It
takes the least ground, can be plant¬
ed the earliest, brings quick returns
and If kept replanted and worked will
stay by you ail the season through."
