sett, both of Savannah, are in charge.
Engine number 271, a new type recent
ly added to the Coast Line’s rolling
stock, is pulling the record train.
Powder Springs.—There is much bet
ter feeling among the farmers and
merchants of this community than a
few days ago. There hasn’t been a
grain of corn shipped to this town this
year, but there has been some shipped
away from here. There were just a
very few oats shipped into this place
in the early spring before oats were
harvested, but since harvest enough
has been sold by the farmers' to off
set those bought. One farmer said
this week he had a thousand bushels
to sell now.

close their present accounts. Cotton
is coming in very rapidly now, but
scarcely any is being put on the mar

shipment from the city, fourteen bales
being shipped over the Georgia rail
road up to date. There are now on stor
age in the warehouses about eight
thousand bales.

ward the curtailment of the 1915 cot
ton acreage in Georgia was taken here

this action — as expressed by Presi
dent Charles J. Haden — is to help
the farmer save himself. The plan of
action is that already indorsed and be
ing published in Lee county. It was
finally indorsed in the passage of a
resolution introduced by United States
Marshal J. A. Davis of Albany, and
after discussion was unanimously pass
ed. The plan in question provides for
the incorporation of each count}’ in the
state under a charter that has already
been drawn and which provides that
at least 75 per cent of the farmers
shall sign an agreement to grow not
more than ten acres of cotton in 1915.
Any farmer who violates the contract
may be enjoined in the state courts,
and failing to heed the injunction may
be placed in jail. The contract binds |
the farmer for twelve months.

abdominal trouble, coupled with acute
anemia. Mr. Carter was one of the ]
best known newspaper men in the j
state of Georgia, and was editor and I
owner of the Marietta Courier-Journal |
at the time of his death. Mr. Carter’s I
first newspaper venture was the De- |
Kalb County News, when he was about .
18 years old. From the DeKalb Coun
ty News, he went to the Atlanta Con- |
stitution, and was later city editor of |
that paper under Henry Grady. He
was successively city editor of the At
lanta Journal, the News, which was
bought by the Journal, and was one
of the founders of the old Herald. He
was also at one time connected with
the Morning Advertiser -of New York.
Mr. Carter became secretary to Hoke
Smith upon his election to the gover
norship of Georgia, and later went
with him in that capacity to the Unit
ed States senate.

Falling eyesight, stiff, achy joints,
rheumatic pains, lame back and distress

New Englander Tells Good Story to
Illustrate the Progress That
Marks Modern Times.
Congressman William H. Murray, on
his return from a vacation in the
j heart of the New England country,
! said in Tishomingo:
"The progress of the country is as-
I tonishing. The farmer of today drives
I his motor car. smokes his cigarette
I in a long timber tube, and. over his
‘ after-dinner coffee, listens to Caruso,
I singing the 'Star Song’ from ‘Tosca’ •
! on the phonograph, or hears his wife
j rendering on the player-piano Grieg’s
: 'Peer Gynt’ suite.
"My New England farmer host, in j
। answer to my compliments, said, yes.
things had changed on the farm, and,
, to accent this change, he told a story
I—a story of the past.
I “In the general store of the village,
Ihe began, the general storekeeper
took a chew of tobacco and said:
i “ ‘Thet thar new preacher of ourn
;is certainly a dude. Gosh hang my
I buttons es he don't comb out his
whiskers every mornin'. I got it
straight from the hired gal.’
"Everybody stared at the general
storekeeper in astonishment before
this news. Then the old squire
chuckled and said:
“ ‘Wal, by crinus, I don’t see how
he stands the torture of it. I comb
my whiskers every Sunday, and
danged es the knots don’t make me
plumb near cuss an’ swear,”’
Shows the Folly of Toting a Gun.
-A little sermon on peace by Homer
Hock: "Old Bill Jones always carried
a gun or two. and by much practice—
when he should have been at. work —he
became a crack shot. He said that he
didn't propose to be caught unpre
pared, and that, he went armed in or
der to keep out of trouble. But old
Bill Jones was in more brawls than
anybody, and was finally gathered to
his fathers by a gent who was a little
quicker on the trigger. Nations have
been proceeding on the Bill Jones
theory. This theory—played up strong
by the Honorable Krupp and others—
has been that in order to insure peace
they must, be ready to fight the world
on a moment's notice. Hut the nations
are just like old Bill. The Bill Jones
theory is ready for the junk pile."—
