There are a good many tilings
the matter, and among others is

The kind of boosters we like is
the good looking girl who wears
more ginghams dresses. it is a
fine habit because it means cotton
consumption. A tip to the short
dress crowd: Ginghams dresses
have a tendency in the right di
rection. Wear them, boost them,
—use more ginghams drosses and
help dad get more for his cotton
crop. —(fordele Dispatch.
From various sources we learn
that the cotton crop lias almost
been picked. What is to hinder
farmers from destroying the stalks
within the next few weeks and
thus starving the boll weevils be
fore cold weather. This is a very
important part of the boll weevil
control, and one to which but lit
tie attention has been given. Get
rid of the green stalks and starve
him out. —Ocilla Star.
The cow leaves the farm worth
six cents, goes through the packing
and is worth twelve cents, goes
over the railroad to the retailer
and is worth fifteen cents, goes
over the counter to tho consumer
and is worth thirty cents. It takes
the farmer two years to raise the
six cent cow, and it only takes the
profiteer one week to increase its
value to thirty cents. —Thomas-
ville Press.
We are going a fast pace. It’s
hurry all the time. People do not
take time to eat and sleep. They
are after the almighty dollar dur
ing the week and pleasure on Sun
day. There is seldom anyone at

use looking for them, for they may
be miles and miles away. It’s a
busy old world, and those who do
not hit the pace fall by the way
side. How long can it continue?

The cotton mills of the country
are speeding up on full time. Got
ton lias reached the bottom of the
slide and has rebounded with a
sharp rise that breaks all records.
Cotton went up $lO per bale over
night on September 7ih. Ail cot
ton exchanges are quoting higher
prices and increased demand. In
fact the increase in the value of
cotton lias made the holders of
that staple $70,000,000 richer than
they were a few days ago. —Sparks

Churches Welcome
University Students.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 22. —Minis-
ters representing every denomina
tion in Athens met the students of
the University of Georgia at the
first chapel exercises of the year.
A welcome to Georgia men, new
and old, was extended by Rev. S.
.L Cartledge, pastor of the Central
Presbyterian church, who called
attention to the fact that nearly all
the faculty and officers of the Ini
versify are actively engaged in
church work and that all the
churches have classes and organiz
ations for University students.
In the address of flic morning,
Dr. ,1. C. Wilkinson, pastor of the
First Baptist church, paid tribute
to David C. Barrow, the venerated
Chancellor of the University whom
he called “an inspiration for high
Christian living and a model upon
which young men may build their
lives.” Taking as his text the
words “He that loseth his life
shall find it,” Dr. Wilkinson ad
vised the students to follow the
Chancellor’s example by giving
their lives to service for their fel
low men.
The Methodist churches were
represented by Rev. Walter B.
Anthony, the Christian by Rev. M.
R. Porter, the Presbyterian by
Rev. E. 11. Hill.
"The charter of the University
written in 1785, states its purpose”,
said the Chancellor. “It is neces
sary for I lie good of society, and
for tho love of virtue and good
order. There are two courses to
this end: Religion and education.
This University is founded for
the benefit of society and it holds
fast to religion; when we fall away
from religion we fall away from
one of the prime purposes of the
University.”
