GOOD ROADS FOR GEORGIA
The preparations for the Good
Roads Sshodl following ahe Farmers
Conference are now made and the ar
rancetnents promise an occasion of
exceptional value at lli.s Juncture in
the movement for better roads. The
s< boot openy Monday January 25th,
and doses Saturday, January 30th.
The fifteen special lectures on spe
< iflc road topics will form a syste
malic body of valuable and attract
be Information on road building,
which no wide awake road official
In the state can well afford to miss.
The work is planned on the sys
tem, and without trying to spread it
self over the whole range of theoret
ic and possible methods of road con
struction focuses its effort on the ex
Islttng situation In Georgia and the
best practical methods of procedure
for the various counties of the stale.
Both the engineering and financial
side will be clearly brought out in
their relation to each other and the
instruction given will endeavor to
make plain how even the coun
ties with small resources can make
n wise beginning In road betterment.
The notable features of the arrange
incuts are the provisions made for
demonet rating trips over the roads
In Clarke county, the actual construc
tion of the one- half mile of sand
clay road adjacent to the main build
Ing of the Agricultural Volloge. A
fort'o of fifty convicts will be employ
ed during the whole week on this
work, and those who attend the
school will have an opportunity of
seeing every detail of the work on
a largo scale under working condi
tions.
This is possible through the splen
did spirit of Clarke county’s efficient
road commissioners and their desire
Io give tlie road officials who come
e thoroughly satisfactory idea of
hew convicts are handled and how
road work can be done to advan
tage with proper equipment. The
road machinery exhibit by manufact
urers will bo another Interesting feat
me
The i pportunlty both for practical
demonstrations In road betterment is
one which seldom offers and which
the state college urges upon the ac
i'«ptance of all persons In the state
ilitcrosti'd or concerned in road work
Write at once to President Soule or
Proses or Strahan if you want a seat
reserved in the demonstration trips
fcr which free transportation will be
piovidcd.

Much of the chronic lameness in horses is due to neglect.
See that your horse is not allowed to go lame. Keep Sloan’s
Liniment on hand and apply at the first signs of stiffness.
It's wonderfully penetrating—goes right to the spot—relieves
the soreness limbers up the joints and makes the muscles
clastic and pliant
Sloan’s Liniment
will kill a spavin, curb or splint, reduce wind puffs and swol

SEMINOLE
Rev. W. M. Griffitt filled his regu
lar appointment at Sardis Sunday.
Our literary school at Chattooga
vflle has more than one hundred in
attendance now. Our Sunday school
at Walnut. Grove, has run down very
low, only six attended Sunday —one
man, one girl and four boys The
Sunday school at. Sardis was very
good Sunday, 40 or 50 In attendance.
Nothing being done on farms. The
weather is too bad to do much out
door work. But we have had an
abundance of pretty weather and we
can't expect fine weather all the time
We must have winter or we can’t
have summer. And it is also very
necessary for us to have some cold
weather. We need freezes and snow
to Insure a good crop. If we don't
hove cold enough to keep the fruit
back to the right time of the year we
will not have any fruit. 1 had rather
have cur cold weather now than to
have it in the spring at planting
time.
Our people have been selling cotton
the past week. The price was up a
little compared to what it has been.
! About 9 cents is the general price
for good cotton. The cotton busi
ness now is nearly cleaned up un-J
, til some more Is made. I don't think
, the last year’s crop will ever reach
the fourteen million mark. Some pre
dicted thnt there would be between
' fifteen and twenty million bales
made but we see it is not the case.
Our cotton crop must need increase
but it is not increasing any faster
than cotton mills are increasing and
j our population is increasing and the
demand should lie as great, as ever
before. And the price of cotton
should now be 12 cents for good cot
ton, the way other things are, and
taking into consideration the increase
of machinery to work up cotton and
the ever growing demand for the
manufactured goods we ought to
have more demand for cotton than
ever before. Bui it is not. the case
and I think therefore it would be a
wise move to cut the cotton crop at
least one-fourth in acreage this year.
’ Although there is no more made than
is needed. But by cutting acreage we
can cause a better demand and a bet
ter price next fall. We cannot raise
cotton and buy fertilizer and risk
( our lands all washing away for any
less than 12 cents and make any
! profit at all. No merchant, will sell
goods without some profit, neither
will cotton rniUs run without profit.
So let us equalize the matter and di
( vide by 3, giving farmer one third of
, the profits and the cotton mill one
, third und merchant one-third, making
things equal and fair to all. And it
seems to me that farmers, manufac
turers and merchants should all
work to each others Interest. We
need farmers and good ones. We
need more col lon mills and we need
tlie merchants and we need all oth
, er classes of men that are following
any honest trade for a living.
