STATE’S AilTO CARS
25 f QOO Coining, and it is Believed
More Will h- Seeded Under Xew
Law.
Twenty-five thousand tags have
been ordered for Georgia’s automo
bile registration under the new law,
effective January 1, which requires
every car to get a new license every
year.
S'ecertary of State Phil Cook be-
l'cves that the number may not be
suRicient to go arouna.
“We have passed the 2:5,000 mark
now on our hooks under the old
law,” said he Wednesday. “Of
course there are very many dupli-
| catious in that long list. But I be-
J lieve tlie duplications will be more
I than offset by the number of cars
which never have been licensed by
the State. The old law has been
ignored openly in several parts of
the State, because there was no in-
I dneement for the county officers to
! of force it.
"The new law will be enforced bet
ter. It offers that inducement—for
every county is to get its proper
share of the license money that is
collected here.”
The new tags will be very much
like the present ones, except that
the year “ 1!»14 ” will show in the
lower corner. The lirst consignment
of 10,000 is to be delivered Decem
ber 15. They were purchased
through Arthur Wrigle.v, of Atlanta,
from the lowest bidder, S. II. Quince
Sons, of Philadelphia.
Representative E. 1-1. MciMichael.
of Marion, speaker pro tern of the
House and a member of the McCrory
school hook commission, arrived in
Atlanta Friday night and will re
main hero until some time the early
part of next. week. 1-Ie is a guest
at the Piedmont hotel.
Mr. MeMichael has spent a busy
time since the adjournment of the
1 legislature getting his crops in readi-
! ness and preparing for the ginning
j season. He has traveled extensively
J throughout Georgia and declares the
crops in far better condition than he
has seen them before in years.
“During my travels,’’ said Mr. Mc-
Mlchael, “1 was careful to notice not
only tho farming interests but busi
ness conditions in general and found
the improvement far and above my
most sanguine expectations. Thfro
seems to be plenty of money and the
people are not afraid to turn it loose.
Old accounts are being paid—a sure
sign that p/osperity sits on the
threshold of our State.
“There is no doubt in my mind
but we are on the verge of the most
prosperous era in our history. Signs
of the good times are evident in
every section of Georgia T have visi
ted and there is no reason why we
should not lead the entire South
commercially, financially and in the
business world during the season at
hand and the seasons to come." -
Mrs. Harry C', Phelps after a
month’s visit to her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Dock Morris, left Tuesday for
her home in Paragouhl, Ark.
BINE CHARGED BY
Attorney General McReynolds Re
ceives Complaints From Georgia
and Alabama.
Washington, Sep. 22.—Complaints
from Southern farmers, principally
in Alabama and Georgia, alleging a
combination among cotton seed mills
to control the price of cotton seed
were received by Attorney General
McReynolds today.
The farmers ask a government in
vestigation to unearth suspected re
straints of trade. The continually
higher and uniform price of cotton
seed, the complaints declare, indi
cate a combination in violation of
the Sherman law.
The question will be looked into
by G. Carroll Todd, assistant to the
attorney general.

MCDUFFIE COUNTY FAIR-
OCTOBER I4TH TO I8TH
Three weeks more, and one of the most significant and promis
ing enterprises for the development of McDuffie County and the
encouragement of-her farmers, will lie in progress.

the 13th. See or write the Superintendent of the various depart
ments for specific instructions. Get a Premium book which con
tains all of the rules, and all (he information you will need.
• EXHIBITS.
It looks as though the space will all he taken—in every building,
by the time the fair opens. There is no doubt but that these exhibits
will, prove a great surprise to most people—both as to variety,
volume and class.
Aside from the live stock, agricultural and machinery exhibits,
merchants displays, etc., there will he a number of interesting
novelties. There will be the best and newest cotton planter ever
exhibited, one that has been specitiaclly approved by the Agricultu
ral Department of the United States Government, and it will be
equipped with a motor, and driven by this motor.
Another interesting exhibit will be—the smallest working
engine in the world, one that you could carry off in your pocket,
and it, will be equipped with a steam boiler, a hoister. and doing
actual work. Best of all is—this planter and engine arc the produc
tions of a citizen of Thomson.
Then there will be a “Curiosity Shop” containing all kind's of
curios.
