DAVIS AND BRYAN 20 COTTON BELT
DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEES
The Democratic national conven
tion brought its tempestuous sessions
to a close at Madison Square Garden.
New York, early Thursday morning,
placing before the country a ticket
headed by John W. Davis, of West
Virginia, with Gov. Charles W. Bryan,
of Nebraska, in second place.
Nominated on the one hundred and
third ballot in the final dissolution of
the deadlock which had gripped the
convention for ten days, Mr, Davis be
gan his service as the leader of his
party by upsetting predecent and ad
dressing the convention at its eve
ning session and then going into.corr-
ference with convention managers
over choice of a nominee for the Vice
Presidency.
Governor Bryan was chosen for
second place on the ticket after his
friends had placed before Mr. Davis
and his conferees an argument for
selection of a Western man of proven
executive capacity, familiar with
agriculture and in sympathy with the
liberal sentiment of the country.
The nomination of the Nebraska
governor, who is a brother of Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, took only one
ballot. The word that the leaders
wanted him nominated was passed
quickly about the convention hall and
although active campaigns had been
made for several other candidates the
result was not long in doubt. Mr.
Bryan was declared nominated at 2:22
A. M., Eastern daylight saving time.
Then after a few last minute formali
ties the convention adjourned sine die
at 2:24 A. M. and the delegates for
the last time filed wearly out of the
old garden .where their nerves had
been frazzled and their patience worn
out by more than two weeks of the
most stirring scenes in all political
history.—The Macon Telegraph.
BAPTIST REVIVAL.
The revival, which began at the
Baptist church last Sunday, has
grown in interest during the week.
Rev. Luke Rader gave his first
message Tuesday night to one of
the largest congregations that has
ever filled the building. He is a man
of God, and preaches the pure and
unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ.
He knows nothing else but Jesus and
Him crucified, and his undaunted
courage, plain language and impres
sive manner and determination make
the messages stick in the hearts of
the hearers. Thomson is to be con
gratulated in having such a preacher.
Brother Rowland, the singer, has
organized a “Sunshine Choir” of boys
and girls, and their voices make the
welkin ring. He knows how to han
dle the young people as well as the
older ones in the service of song.
Brother Rowland knows how to sing
the gospel message.
The prayer meetings for men each
morning are bringing together men
of every walk in life.
The fifteen-minute prayer meetings
before each service are well attended.
The services will continue through
next week, and a cordial invitation
is extended to all to come and get
the benefit of these messages.
C. C. KISER, Pastor.
THOMSON
Thomson was tr • 'd to a delight
ful band concert by the Elberton
brass band Monday morning. The
concert was held on t V 3 Knox Hotel
lawn and was very : h enjoyed by
an admiring crowd of Thomson folk,
'the band is a splendid one and gives
Sunday concerts in its home town
for the benefit of tourists coming
and going through Elberton.
The band was accompanying a
boosters to Lyons, where a big roads
meeting was held Tuesday.
Elberton certainly has the good-
roads spirit and is greatly responsi
ble for the success of the Cotton Belt
Highway project thus far. They feel
that this nighway means much to
this section of the State and have
he facts to prove that it is by far
the best route for tourists entering
Florida.
It is desired to get this route ready
for tourists this fall, and it is hoped
to have it in such condition that it
will prove an advertisement in itself.
If tourists going to Florida this fall
find it superior to other routes, it
stands io reason they will advertise
it by telling others who used a dif
ferent route.
Therefore, it is most important
that the bad stretches of road be
gone over at once and put in good
shape. McDuffie has some sections
of road that will have to be gSne
over, it is said, am 1 _ is hoped we
will be abreast of the rest of the
county in accomplishing the desired
end. Already much good work has
been done in this county and the
road boosters speak well of it.
A number of leading citizens of
Elberton were included in the party
that visited Thomson Monday. They
stopped over here long enough to
partake of lunch and enjoyed one of
the best meals at the Knox Hotel that
t hey had on the route, as expressed
by Mr. Arnold, president of the El
berton Chamber of Commerce.
Those in the party were Messrs.
James Y. Arnold, A. S. Hawes, W. A.
Nall, 7. B. Rogers, W. L. Skelton,
John Tabor, R. E. Oglesby, P. E.
Heard, F. W. Auld, L. Clark Ed
wards, Band Master H. H. Poole and
twenty members of his excellent
band.
TWO GOOD BALL GAMES ON THE
FOURTH.
Warrenton and Thomson baseball
teams played two splendid gamps
July Fourth. The first game was
played in Warrenton at 10 o’clock in
the morning and was the best of the
two, the players being in fine condi
tion with a will to play.
Thomson won both games, the first
by a score of 2 and 1; the second, 11
to 4.
Son Logan and Leonard Lokey,
Thomson's battery, did fine work,
striking out 15 men in the game at
Warrenton, and help the Warrenton
boys almost hitless in the game here
in the afternoon.
Both Thomson and Warrenton have
good teams and are giving splendid
exhibitions of the game. It is hoped
they will come again soon.
Thomson and Sparta. '
Thomson and Sparta are scheduled
for two games next week, at Sparta |
on Tuesday and Thomson Thursday.
FUNERAL OF MISS CARWEE
HAYES.
The funeral of Miss Carwee Hayes,
the seventeen year-old daughter and
only child of Mr. and Mrs. F. E.
Hayes, whose tragic death resulted
from an automobile accident Thurs
day morning was conducted at the
home of her parents on Church street
at 5 o’clock, Friday afternoon, July
4th, and was attended by a large j
concourse of sorrowing relatives and ,
friends. Rev. C. C. Kiser, assisted!
by Rev. J. T. Robins conducted the j
services.
The interment was at West View
cemetery and the pall bearers were
young men and co-workers selected
from the Baptist Young People’s
Union. They were Messrs. A. B.
Houston, Randall Evans, Loug Har
din, Bonnie Wells, W. D. Matlock,

Lynching Record First
Six Months 1$24.
The following statistics on lynching
for the first six months of the year
1924 have been compiled by the De
partment of Records and Research of
Tiiskegee Institute:
Total number lynched, 5.
OfFenses charged: Rape .‘5; at
tempted rape 1; killing officer of the
law 1.
Record of states: Florida 1; Geor
gia 2; South Carolina 1.
Comparison of records:
First six months of 1924 5
First six months of 1923 15
First six months of 1922 30
First six months of 1921 36
“It is gratifying to note that the
record thus far for the year 1924 is
the lowest for the first six months
of any of the forty years during
which the record has been kept. It
is an encouraging sign of progress
towaid the elimination of this evil,
which is condemned by public opin
ion. It is an indication of the grow
ing sentiment against lawlessness in
general. All of the persons lynched
were negroes,” says the report.
Have Your Dog Vacci
nated Against
Rabies.
ROPER KNOCKS OUT KENT.
The boxing match July 4th between
Baxter Roper and .“Kid” Kent did
not last long, as Kent was knocked
nut in the second round.
Young Roper appears to have it
on most of the aspirants in and
around Thomson, and has the stuff
that is likely to develop into propor
tions that will interest followers of
the prize ring.
An ordinance was recently passed
by Council requiring the owner or
owners of dogs, within the city lim
its, to have their dogs vaccinated
with an anti-rabies vaccine.
The vaccine has been procured and
is in the hands of Dr. FI. P. Neal, who
will have charge of the vaccination.
Dr. Neal will devote the hour of from
5 to 6 o’clock P. M. on Monday anil
Friday of each week beginning Fri
day the 11th.
The law requires that all dogs be
vaccinated on or before August 1st,
1924. After that date dogs without
tags, showing that they have been
vaccinated, will be killed by the
Marshal.
As each dog is vaccinated a certi
ficate to that effect will be given the
owner. This certificate when pre
sented to the City Clerk at the City
Hall, together with the payment of
a registration fee of S2.00, entitles
the owner to a tag, this tag to be
attached to the dog by a band or
collar and will serve the purpose of
identification.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
BOARD COMPLAINS OF FLY
TRAPS.
Dr. Sterling Gibson, representing
the City Board of Health, desires to
call attention to the unkempt condi
tion of the fly traps in Thomson. He
states that some of them are never
“baited” and do no good whatever,
while others accumulate quantities
of dead flies and are not emptied as
they should be, causing an offensive
odor that is dangerous to health.
The board trusts that those respon
sible for the o'' of the traps
direct atten$jL%v ...'em at once.
Washington, D. C., July 10.
AS TIS IN WASHINGTON.
The President’s speech to the
budget committee was to have been
radioed, but the Democratic conven
tion at New York had the air, and
as is usual wherein Government and
politics clash, politics wins. Presi
dent Coolidge will spend his “vaca
tion” in Washington at the White
House. The cheese knife will be
operated personally by him, and if
expenses are cut down it will be in
harmony with the thrifty ideas he
gained as a boy in Vermont. Secre
tary Hoover has been circling about
a little investigating the St. Lawrence
deep waterways proposition, and en
deavoring to add a little to the senti
ment for power development. The
Army and Navy heads are looking
well to their knitting, and we find
that the citizens training camps are
overcrowded—1,000 were turned away
at Camp Meade, Maryland, alone.
The Navy will have, its cruises.
Shipping Board members are on the
way to Europe for the purpose of
stimulating passenger business for
American ships. The members of
the Board have found that steamship
agents have beep “sniping” American
ships in foreign lands, and they have
gone to Europe to improve matters.
Foreign steamship agents that have
been in the habit of peddling lies
about the service on the Leviathan
and other American ships, will have
to change their tactics, or there will
likely be a good many new agencies
in Europe before the close of the
season. The Postal Department has
sent its delegation to the World post
al conference at Geneva, and World
postal regulations may be improved
in consequence. “Agriculturists”
from the Department of Agriculture,
have gone out into the country to
study “farming.” The Interior De
partment is specializing on reclama
tion conditions. New immigration
quotas have been proclaimed. The
Tariff Board is studying new sche
dules, and there is so much contro
versy about its affairs that there is
fear that it is too partisan to do an
economic job in place of the political
one that usually manipulates the
tariff. Scientists from the '.Smith
sonian Institution and other scien
tific research bureaus have left
Washington to investigate and make
reports on new forms of bugs, and
other animal life. Statistics are
being collected and constantly pub
lished to show the hopeful signs in
industry and finance. Those indicate
that the country is riding along safe
ly. On the whole the Government
agencies all seem to be at work,
though the spirit of vacation runs
through it all; but nevertheless Uncle
Sam’s Government is giving a good
account to the people right now.
DOES FARMING PAY?
A survey of 11,238 farms in the
United States showed that it cost
68 cents a bushel to raise corn and
the sales showed profits as the value
was 81 cents. It cost 52 cents a
bushel to raise oats and only 49 cents
was received. Notwithstanding all
that has been said about cotton that
crop together with corn and potatoes
were the only money makers of con
sequence in the agriculture inventory
for last year.
|FEDERAL VERSUS STATE TAX-
| ation.
I Taxes, taxes, taxes—asurer thing
than death, and the din of it is to
, drown nut, the tariff in the coming
campaign. The big national roar
, about taxes pertains largely to the
Federal taxes, which are levied to
| nay for the nice, big war, that we
; bad a few years ago. In all big
, problems like this there is bound to
i bo a conflict of difference about the
{ relations of the Federal Government
and the States to the handling of
the situation. The States have
shown a willingness to carry their
nart of the load, and to tack on the
Federal tax. But there is a big pro
test against the paternal attitude of
the Government in attempting to re
vise the State and local tax laws by
imposing a new tax upon the issues
of municipal and other local bonds
that were issued in order to take
care of local improvements. The
claim is made on behalf of the State
and local governments that. Wash
ington has no business to interfere
in this matter.
END OF “NUISANCE” TAXES.
Under the terms of the 1924 reve
nue act these taxes will be no more:
The ten per cent levy oh motion pic
ture and other theatre 'admissions
costing less than fifty cents, though
taxes of ten per cent must be paid on
amusement admissions which are
more than fifty cents.
The five per cent tax on telegraph
and telephone toll messages costing
fifteen to fifty cents and the ten per
cent tax on messages costing more
than fifty cents.
Weapon taxes on knives, etc.
Taxes on X-ray films, candy liveries,
etc. Jewelry taxes, musical instru
ments, silver-plated flat table ware,
articles used for religious purposes;
articles sold or leased for not more
than $30, and watches sold for not
more than $60. Stamp tax on checks,
drafts and promissory notes. The
stump tax on playing cards is in
creased from eight to ten cents.
New levies are a 3 per cent tax on
automobile truck chassis and automo
bile wagon chassis costing more than
$1,000, and on truck and wagon
bodies, motorcycles, etc. Tractors
are exempt. Taxes on tires, inner
i tubes, parts and accessories are re
duced from five to two and a helf
per cent.
PRESIDENT STICKS FOR
ECONOMY.
Speaking before more than 1,000
executive officers at the seventh semi
annual meeting of the “budget com
mittee,” President Coolidge reiterat
ed his former resolution for economy.
He said: “I am for economy. After
that I am for more economy.
We must give the people relief from
the excessive burden of taxation.”
The meeting brought out the state
ment that the public debt had been
reduced $2,720,000,000 in three years.
The bonus legislation will cost ap
proximately $132,000,000 in 1925.
The President demands that the
economy plan of the budget be again
revised downward an additional $83,-
000,000, which added to the estimated
! surplus of $25,000,000, would give
the Government a total surplus of
$108,000,000 for the fiscal year 1925.
THE SOUR CREAM
STATION ASSURED
The dairy industry is in its infancy
in McDuffie county but bids fair to
make a start in the near future if
given the proper attention. We
know that the prime need of our soil
is more organic matter and that
stable manure is probably first in
value among the land builders. We
must have more cows in order to
fui’nish this manure. The trouble
has been that we have had no sure
market for our milk products. Real
izing this fact the county agent,
aided by Mr. Upshaw, of the Georgia
Railroad Agricultural Department,
have persuuaded the Georgia-Caro-
lina Creamery to send a man to
Thomson on Tuesdays and Fridays
for the purpose of purchasing sour
cream from the farmers in any quan
tity. The first date will be set as
soon as we are sure that farmers
can furnish 100 gallons of 30 per
cent cream per week. This can be
easily secured if we will but try.
As stated in a previous article,
this is not a get rich quick proposi
tion, but an opportunity to make the
cow pay her board bill, fertilize the
farm and still give a small surplus.
The amount of money made will of
course depend on the cow and atten
tion given her.
Please call by the office Saturday
or write to your county agent giving
an estimate of how much sour cream
you can furnish so that we can start
the cream station at once. Prices
will be based on the Chicago market.
Here is an extract from the letter
assuring us of a market:
“Dear Sir:—Referring to conversa
tion a few days since, we wish to
advise that we shall be pleased to
send a representative to Thomson on
Tuesdays and Fridays during the
summer months and on Fridays dur
ing the winter months for the pur
pose of establishing a sour cream
station to benefit the farmers in the
surrounding territory. This cream
shall be paid for in cash upon receipt
of same at the station in Thomson
and the \ Chicago standard market
shall govern this price. In order to
begin this station and service we
must stipulate that the farmers in
Thomson and adjacent territory shall
supply a minimum of one hundred
gallons of 30 per cent cream weekly.
As soon as you think conditions may
warrant the starting of this station
ana the minimum supply could be
complied with kindly advise.”
Forty Years Ago And
Prices Now.
Pres. Coolklge’s Son
Died Monday.
Calvin Coolidge, ,Tr., son of Pres
ident and Mrs. Coolidge, died at the
White House in Washington Monday
of blood poisoning which developed
from a bursted blister on his right
foot. The best medical skill of the
country was called in to combat the
ravages of the disease, but to no
avail.
The hush of sorrow enveloped the
White House Tuesday as the Presi
dent and Mrs. Coolidge gave all else
to preparations for the funeral.
How they bore their grief none hut
the closest knew, for they cut the
channels of official and personal com
munication to be with their dead.
Guarded gates at the White House
enclosure, a white crepe spray at the
door and the flag on the mansion at
half-staff were the only outward in
dications of the mourning within.
Although preferring the simplest
arrangements, a concession was made
because of the status of the presi
dent as the leader of the nation and
the casket lay in the great east
room of the White House surrounded
by a military guard of honor. Six
sailors from the presidential yacht
Mayflower, on whicch the 16-year-old
boy had often cruised, and six ma
rines alternately stood vigil.
Floral tributes in great numbers
were banked about, while from per
sonal friends, government officials,
members of the diplomatic corps, citi
zens from all sections of the nation,
and rulers and high officials of for
eign countries messages came in a
rising flood and expression of their
common sorrow.
The funeral was marked as much
as possible by the simplicity which
the parents desired. A simple ser
vice was held at the White House
at 4 o’clock Wednesday after which
the body was taken to Northampton,
Mass., for a second service and then
to Plymouth, Vt., for burial.
Building Activity In
The South.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—While the
building shortage in some sections of
the country appears to have been
practically met by the great build
ing program of the last year or so,
it is not the case in many sections of
the South where building construc
tion is still going forward at record
rates, according to Hentz, Reid and
Adler, nationally known architects of
Atlanta.
A study of conditions over the
South, in which the Atlanta archi
tects are designing many structures,
indicate, it was stated, that this
great constructive program is not
being carried out blindly, but in re
sponse to actual needs. Despite the
huge total of buildings in the South
in the last three years, it was point
ed out, rents are stationary in all
larger centers and the demand ex
cellent.
The higher standard of living which
the new era has brought to the
South, it was asserted here by mort-
I gage bond houses, has created a r
! demand for modern living quarters
I which are a steady and consistent
I source of income to owners of the
: better grade houses, apartments and
hotels.
That the South is taking new
strides in industrial and commercial
growth while other sections of the
country are perhaps marking time,
was pointed out here today by Mr.
Adler, of the Atlanta architectural
firm. He said that while there is no
mushroom boom, the section is the
center of the nation’s greatest pro
gressive activity at the present time.
Building records are ([Hite accurate
indexes to the progress and pros
perity of a population, Mr. Adler
said.
CHANGE OF HOUR OF MORNING
SERVICES.
The hour for Sunday morning ser
vices at the Baptist church has been
changed from 11 o’clock to 11:15,
the hour for night services remain
ing the same, 8:30.
WITH THOMSON DRUG CO.
Dr. J. K. Chambers, of Covington,
has accepted the position of phar
macist at the Thomson Drug Co., and
will assume his duties there Monday.
Dr. Chambers is a graduate licens
ed pharmacist of several years -ex
perience and comes to Thomson well
recommended. The people of Thom
son will welcome him as a new citi
zen of our town.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—It is easy
to imagine that things were better
in the old days, but when one goes
back in newspaper files forty or fifty
years ago, one generally finds that
iiving conditions were nothing like
as satisfactory as they now are, it
was pointed out today by officials of
the Georgia Department of Agricul
ture.
Forty years ago in Georgia eggs
were worth 40 cents a dozen and
there were few for sale at that price.
Eggs are worth around 40 cents now,
not only in Atlanta, but in most
Georgia cities. But forty years ago
cotton was selling for 10 cents a
pound. The price now is around 34
cents. That makes 40 years ago
less attractive to the business view.
The “good old days” were not al
ways as good as one would like to
make them appear. With cotton at
10 cents a pound there could have
been little agricultural prosperity in
the community, for the higher price
of eggs would not compensate for
the farmer’s loss on cotton. With
cotton at ten cents a pound the farm
er probably barely made ends meet.
And forty years ago in Georgia
and the South people had but few
of the things that go to make life
pleasant today. There were no elec
tric cars then, no telephones, no auto
mobiles, no electric lights, no picture
theatres, no paved streets and prob
ably no sidewalks. Then the city’s
water supply probably was derived
from wells and cisterns, with per
haps the old spring helping out.
There were no sewers, and bath
rooms probably were lew.
DEATH AND FUNERAL OF ROB
ERT LOUIS WITHERS.
Robert Louis, the five and a half
years old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Withers died at the home of his par
ents, 634 E. North Ave., Atlanta,
Thursday morning, July 3rd, and the
remains were brought to Thomson
Friday afternoon where the funeral
occurred Saturday morning at 10
o’clock.
The death of little Robert Louis,
followed an illness from acidosis and
complications lasting only three days.
Possessing marked personal beauty
and a winsomeness of manner, he in
his short sunny life made many
friends whose hearts were grieved
and whose love and sympathy was
shown in a floral offering, exquisite
ly beautiful and profuse.
The funeral was held at the Knox
Hotel, the home of his aunts, Mrs.
Mag McMannon and Mrs. Kate Pace,
Rev. J. T. Robins conducting the ser
vices. Interment was in the family
lot in the Thomson cemetery.
Members of the bereaved family
are his parents and one brother, Jack
Withers, and a large number of near
relatives.
NOTES FROM THE
COUNTY AGENT
CAMP WILKINS.
There are some 90 club boys and
girls in club work in the county and
out of this number every one who
can should plan the trip to. Athena
for a week of instruction and pleas
ure. So far only 4 members hava
voiced their intention of attending.
Those who don’t go can’t imagine
what they are missing. It cost about
$30,000 to erect the magnificent
building which is equipped with sleep*
ing quarters, dining room, reading
rooms, gymnasium and a pool where
the boys and girls can keep cool.
Free picture shows are given every
night and the whole college is open
for inspection and information to
our future farmers.
The cost for one week board, etc.,
is only $7 per club boy. $3 should
more than pay the boy’s transporta
tion. Any parent should be glad of
the opportunity afforded their son
in a trip to Camp 'Wilkins. The
camp is excellently chaperoned and
their boy will come back more than
$10 benefitted by having made the
trip. We need a minimum of 10
boys before we can make the trip.
This week will settle the case, if
club members can get their parents
to send them they should notify me
by July 12th so that the college may
provide room for us.
EAT MORE CANTALOUPES.
Cantaloupe season is here now and
the farmers around Boneville section
have melons in abundance. We see
melons coming to town every day.
It appears to me that the people of
Thomson who are benefitted by the
county trade could do no better deed
(ban to increase the consumption of
these melons and thereby guarantee
the melon grower a market for his
produce. Thomson can easily con
sume all the cantaloupes produced in
the county this season. The quality
is the best in three seasons and the
melons are of ample size. If every
family will buy a dozen cantaloupes
it will help the breakfast menu and
encourage the producer. Further
more. it will establish the farmers
confidence in the business man as his
friend and undoubtedly result in a
mutual benefit,. Yes the farmer
should do more trading at home as
explained in last weeks paper by the
editor and on the other hand the
towns people should lose no oppor
tunity in showing their appreciation
of the farmers trade by throwing a
little business his way, especially
when he has perishables for sale.
This applies not only- to cantaloupes
but to other fruits and vegetables.
A cantaloupe a day will help solve
our local marketing problem. Sev
eral men who have cantaloupes for
sale are Lawson Lavigno, O. D. John
son and J. L. Lokey. There are oth
ers; some can be reached by phone
others via mail. Lets not miss this
opportunity for mutual help. Small
though it may seem.
An attempt is being made to get
Dr. Trumbo back in the county dur
ing this month. If you have hogs
needing treatment on cows to be
tested notify the county agent.
Mr. Knutson, manager of the
Beechhaven Hatchery, Washington,
Ga., will be in town Friday afternoon
and will give a talk at the City Hall
at 8 o’clock Friday evening. He will
discuss the operation of a coonerative
hatchery. Several men of Thomson
and surrounding territory have voiced
their intention of establishing a
hatchery here this fall. All farmers
and business men are urged to be
present. We need a centrally located
hatchery and Friday's meeting should
result in the establishment of one
here in Thomson.
