Ilf nr
A well attended meeting of the Dal
ton Poultry association was held at
the court house last Saturday after
noon for the purpose of perfecting
plans for the big poultry show that
will be pulled off here during the lat
ter part of November.
This has been an unusually good
year for the poultry breeders and each
one present was loudly proclaiming
the merits of his particular breed. So
much was manifested by the
members that another meeting was
called for next Saturday afternoon in
order that all matters relating to the
success of the show might be finally
settled.
Besides the many fancy fowls rais
ed in North Georgia, indications are
that there will be hundreds and hun
dreds of good ones from all the td
joining southern states. Also many
of the prize winners of the big nor
thern shows will be here. Competition
will be red hot in all classes and no
prizes will be easily won.
Birds of every shape and color will
be here by the dozen. Not only hun
dreds of fine chickens of every known
variety, but many fancy ducks, geese,
pheasants, guineas, pigeons, etc.
This will be by far the best show
of the kind ever held in this section
of the country and the members are
jubilant because their efforts have
been so successful.
These poultry shows have contrib
uted a great deal to the increased in
terest that is being taken in poultry
I breeding in this country and deserves
’ the hearty co-operation of every
breeder.
OILION HAS
ATLANTA BEAT
ON SASSAFRAS
A TREE HERE THAT IS BIGGER
EVERY • WAY THAN ATLAN
TA’S BRAG BUSH—WHERE IT
IS AND HOW IS MEASURES
UP, DOWN AND AROUND.
In the Sunday issue of The Consti
tution there appeared a story, ac
companied by an illustration of a
sassfras tree in Atlanta and the sta
tement that this was the largest sass
fra tree in the world. The Consti
tution pencil pusher had the wrong
dope on that, for little old Whitfield’s
got ’em skinned a city block when it
comes to high ones. Out on the Rich
ardson farm there stands a noble old
sassfras tree, 10 1-2 feet in circum
ference, and 60 feet high. This beats
the Atlanta tree 3 feet in circumfer
ence and 10 feet in height. Some
tree, eh?
The Constitution will have to send
out its forester again. The fact is.

THE DALTON ARGUS, DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1911.
GOV. SMITH
TO RESIGN
BY OCT. 15.
ACCORDING TO ATLANTA CON
STITUTION A RUMOR TO
THAT EFFECT.
ANOTHER GOVERNOR Bl DECEMBER
The Much Talked of Event Likely to
Be Announced Any Day.
Governor Hoke Smith will resign
his office between now and October
15, if rumors circulated during the last
few days and apparently reliable are
to be trusted.
M hile he has not made up his mind
definitely on the exact date, report
says he is inclined to surrender his
present office about the first of Octo
ber.
This will give his six weeks to look
after such matters as he thinks de
mand his attention, and will enable
the new governor elected to succeed
him to take charge before the begin
ning of the year.
If Governor Smith were to resign
October 1, the special election would
take place about December 1. The
primary would take place probably
about November 15. The only objec
tion to this which may deter the gov
ernor is that the season in which the
heat of the campaign and the elec
tion would take place would be a
busy one with the farmers—the cot
ton gathering period.
However, it is a time when the farm
ers would not be confined to the fields
so closely as during the planting sea
son. They will be in the towns a good
deal looking after the marketing of
their cotton and the payment of their
bills.
The election must be called together
within 15 days after the election,
and under the plan above outlined,
this would mean that the new gover
nor would be inaugurated about the
middle of December. He would be in
a position to shape his policies for
the year during which he would pre
side. The state’s fiscal arrangements
are made in accordance with the cal
endar year.
While Governor Smith has not in
dicated definitely when he will resign,
it is stated on reliable information
that he desires to get out of the gub
ernatorial harness in time to take a
rest and arrange his private affairs
for going to Washington.

SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT
SHEDDING CAUSED BY LACK
OF RAINFALL.
PRICE EXPECTED TO BE VERY GOOD
What an Authority Has to Say About
the Prospects.
Memphis, Tenn.. Aug. 21 —The Com
mercial Appeal weekly cotton crop
review this morning says:
“Lack of rainfall in the Carolinas
part of Georgia and in Texas and
western Oklahoma gives rise to com
plaints of shedding of a rather severe
kind ,while in all other states excess
ive ainfall is producing a rather rank
growth of stalk, is retarding the pro
per setting of new bolls, and is rot
ting a few already made.
“The natural maturity o fthe plant
is also being delayed; and the crop
will exposed to unusual danger from
frost if the rain continues.
Preceding the inauguration of this
drouth in the extreme east and the
southwest and heavy rains in the cen
tral states the plant was well fruited
and comparatively early in growth,
so that, although the loss has been
rather heavy during the past two
weeks, the promise is still good to
fair. On the bright side it is also
worthy of note that in many locali
ties showers have been neither- ex
cessive nor scant, and the crop is ex
tremely good.
“Except in Texas and South Caro
lina, but little cotton picking has been
done, and the bolls are opening slowly
because of the continued growth of
the plant due to the rains. The boll
weevils in southern Mississippi and
Louisiana now appear active enough
to stop all further setting of squares.
The worm damage has not been ex
tensive.
“Texas correspondents report that
a good soaking rain within the next
week will restore much of the loss, and
enable the plant to make a late crop.

am enjoying good health. It is now
more than two years and I have not
had an ache or pain since Ido all my

I think your medicine is grand and I

Backache is a symptom of organic
weakness or derangement. If you
have backache don’t neglect it. To
get permanent relielf you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
know of will do this so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Compound.

TRAMMELL
MAY HAVE TO
GEIJ RACE
FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER GEOR-
GIA NOW URGING HIM TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
JS THE HARMONY CANDIDATE
Pledges Have Been Made to Him
From Men of All Sides.
Mayor Paul B. Trammell got back
from Atlanta last night and says he
was more than ever encouraged by
hundreds of friends from all over the
state, but yet says he has not made
up his mind as to making the race
for governor, but will do so within a
few days.
While he was in Atlanta the past
two or three days he met former Hoke
Smith men, Pope Brown friends,
some who had been for Dick Russell
and many of Joe Brown’s followers
and they told him he might count on
them for support if he would come
out for governor. The outlook for
Mr. Trammell is more than ever en
couraging and in every district of the
state he has received assurances. Some
prominent Marietta men met Mr.
Trammell and while they have been
formerly for Joe Brown and will be
for Mr. Brown against the field, as
sured Mr. Trammell if he came out
they would support him as the har
mony candidate of the campaign.
Every day now brings more asurances
of support to the Dalton man and it
begins to look as if he will be forced
to run.

Cardui is a gentle, tonic remedy, for women’s ailments. I
It is a natural medicine —safe, harmless, purely vegetable. I
It has been in successful use for more than 50 years. It I

Mrs. Mary Neely, of Denver, Tenn., says, “I think r

with the very best results. I had backache and nearly I
everything a woman could suffer with, until I took Cardui. L
Now, I feel better than I have for two years. I shall L
always recommend Cardui to other suffering women. I I
