Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
GO SLOW, YOU FARMERS.
An Excesnive Cotton Crop This Year
A Means Hard Times.
' It is generally conceded that the rise
in the price of cotton is due to the fact
that the crop is a short one, and in some
quarters exceptionably so. The Augusta
Herald, following the line of a recent
editorial in The Argus, is becoming
alarmed at the prospect of an increased
acreage this year. It says:
When the demand equals the supply,
or may fall somewhat below, itjcotton is
sure! to command good and profitable
prices The farmers who hold, it is esti
mated, about one-half the crop will be
bettered by about $35,000,000, perhaps
more. This is, of course, widely distrib
uted but it is in this section or will be.
Immense purchases are [contemplated
for the production of a tremendous crop
this year. Millions will be spent in fer
tilizers, mules, horses, wagons, and
heaven only knows what else, from
abroad. If another 9,000,000 bale crop
be raised, at the expense of food crops,
and disregardful of economy, there will
be calamity ahead.
And the Herald is eminently correct.
The usual demoralizing effects of good
prices are again staring us in the face,
and although not so serious in North
Georgians in the Augusta district, still
they are serious enough to deserve a
word of warning.
The farmers had best go slow in this
respect; the south cannot successfully
tide over many more excessive crops of
cotton at the expense of the other crops
—bread and meat. Over-production of
cotton this year means low prices and
hard times next fall.
The North Georgia farmer who makes
cotton his surplus or “cash” crop, is the
farmer who will be the happiest next
Christmas and the best off next year.
The farmer who makes cotton his king,
and plantsit at the expense of food crops,
is the one who will be hard up next year.
Bear these facts welkin mind.
Dug Gap School.
County Superintendent Berry visit
ed the Dug Gap school (with Miss
Sallie Looney as teacher) Tuesday.
He found the school well organized
and in proper working order, with 40
pupils enrolled. The cold weather,
however, kept many of the little ones
at home, and only about 25 or 26 were
present.
Miss Looney is an excellent teacher,
and Mr. Berry spoke very highly of
her manner of handling her school.
Souvenir Coins.
Robert A. Rushton showed the edi
tor of The Argus the past week two
of the Columbian souvenir half dollars,
lhey are beautiful, and caused the
newspaper man to long for them even
more than he has yearned for the old
ones so long in vain.
The coins were sent Mr. Rushton
by his brother Rich. H. Rushton who
is cashier of the 4th Street National
bank, Philadelphia, Pa.
An Enjoyable Sociable.
At the residence of Mrs. E. M.
Moore, corner of Waugh and East
Depot streets, Norwood H. Haddock
tendered a sociable to his many young
biends Monday night. There was a
large crowd present, and they had a
most delightful time, indulging in
Ranies and love-making until the “wee

THE ARGUS; DALTON, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1893.
COUNTY TEACHERS.
They Must Meet at the Court House
Next Saturday.
In another column of this issue of
The Argus will be found a notice of
M. P. Berry, county school commis
sioner of Whitfield county, calling
the common school teachers of the
county together in the first session of
the teachers Institute for 1893. The
law makes it compulsory upon every
teacher in the county, whether
employed or not, to attend these insti
tutes, unless he has permanently
retired from the teaching business.
Those who do not attend will be fined.
The institute assembles next Satur
day, the 28th instant, promptly at 10
o’clock in the morning, and Superin
tendent Berry urges every teacher in
the county to be present. A full and
punctual attendance upon this insti
tute will make the work of both the
superintendent and the teachers less
arduous. The institute is of great
benefit to the teachers and they should
be prompt in their attendance.
After a Parsonage.
Rev. J. C. Dunlap, former presiding el
der of the Dalton district, and at pres
ent Pastor of St. James Church, Atlan
ta, is trying to have a parsonage built for
that church. He is out in a card in the
Atlanta papers as follows:
“We propose to make a canvass soon
of the city in behalf of a parsonage for
St. Jame’s church. This is to notify our
friends of the fact and to ask them to
take this cause on their hearts. St.
James can never become self-sustaining
without a parsonage; with it we hope
they will be at the end of this Confer
ence year. We are poor but willing to
help ourselves even beyond our ability.
Fraternally yours,
“W. C. Dunlap, Pastor.”
Ought to Be Said of Dalton.
The Birmingdam Age-Herald says:
“Chattanooga is a very enterprising city.
She wants to be a tobacco market, but
the farmers do not raise the tobacco.
So Chattanooga has set out to get
the farmers to do right on the sub
ject. She has literally startec
into the tobacco business from the
ground. The project is really one of
the most interesting and most truly
progressiva ever undertaken by any city
on this qfrJrinent.”
A Gifted Artist.
The beautiful bit of North Georgia
scenery painted by Albert Guerry,after
having been won at a raffle, is again
displayed for sale in Thornton’s win
dow. The price fixed on it is SSOO.
It is very interesting to heir Mr.
Guerry tell of the circumstances
which led him to this spot. The birds
in the picture are a large species of
hawk and were afterwards captured
by him.
He is busily engaged on another
picture, the subject of which has been
much complimented by the first ar
tists in this country. Mr. Guerry
himself thinks it will be his master
piece. It represents a youth who has
wandered off in tne forest, reclining
at the foot of a birch tree with a
sketch book on his hip—sketching his
home in the distance.
Mr. Guerry is an ideal artist in ap
pearance. Anyone who is familiar
with the portraits of famous painters
will be struck at once by his Van
Dyke profile. In fact, he is an admira
ble artist, His pschycological studies
are a great benefit to him in his high
calling. There is a movement on foot
to have him paint a portrait of Bishop
Beckwith as a gift to the cathedral.
Mr. Guerry’s intimate acquaintance
with Bisnop Beckwith and his knowl
edge of him as an orator gives him
the right to do the work. Mr. Guerry
should receive the recognition he de
serves as one of the leading painters
of America. The time is past when
we can afford to let genius starve in a
gallery, as was done in olden times.
“Attic philosophy” is not the proper
food for the artist’s soul.—Atlanta
Herald.
What is the dismay of the early
pedestrian, who leaves his cosy home
on a winter morning in quest of
lucre or pleasure, when he finds
himself suddenly the victim of the
treachery of a slippery pavement. It
will be a comfort to know that
Salvation Oil will cure his bruised
limbs.

Advertising Rates Advancing.
The National Advertiser pertinent
ly remarks: “Advertising rates are
being periodically advanced, particu
larly by the leading papers. The trib

notch figures—the rest all they can
get. Based on circulation, however,
the rates of all would seem to be about
the same. No paper in the city which
charges less than ten cents a line for
display can make any money.”
