Like Its Old Self.
The Journal is lo>kiug some¬
thing like its old self again with
its columns full of the advertise¬
ments of the city’s leading mer¬
chants. During the dull season
some of the merchants did not
cling to the idea of pulling harder
for business when it gets duller.
But they are back again. And
the Journal is glad to carry the
messages of as up-to-date a band
of business meu as ever gave pres¬
tige to a town again to the peo¬
ple. Look over these advertise¬
ments and tell the merchant what
ho promised through the paper
and make him stick to his promi¬
ses.

COTTON C 01
IN
Pelham Holds
the South ;
ceipts to
Cotton has beeil mmg m
very rapidly all the and the
ginneries have been §t busy.
The price has rang#! around 11^
cents. Last Saturday, was one ol
the best business dajlsj the mer¬
chants have experien in many
months. While oth ns were
reporting their first there
were 72 bales sold h turday
The receipts have i d this
week and the end is week
will see the streets t| d with
wagons of cotton.
The Albany Hera Tuesday
spoke with pride of .it that
182 bales of new cot been
received in that oil >! season
and proceeded forth claim
<Ult of be
the exception of Texas, in cotton
receipts.
Albany is a good cotton mar¬
ket all right and we accept the
statement that, leaving out the
state of Texas, and making the
further exception of Pelham, the
Artesian City held the record in
cotton receipts up to the time
that the Herald went to press.
At that time Pelham had re
eeived 223 bales.
This placed Pelham on Tuesday
as the leading city of the South
in cotton receipts, not counting
Texas which has a much earlier
cotton crop than other states.
The importance of Pelham as a
cotton market and as a market
for other farm products has been
known far and wide for years and
each season sees an increase in
the receipts.. The facilities fur¬
nished the farmers for handling
their cotton after they arrive in
the city and the price paid has
attracted them from our neigh¬
boring counties and induced them
to bring their prnduts here.
The hot days have caused the
staple to open rapidly and indica¬
tions are that the season will be
short and the crop will be gather¬
ed early.
The merchants are maintain¬
ing their reputation for carrying
complete stocks of merchandise
and they are in position to meet
every need of the purchaser.
The dull spring and summer
has made them keen for trade and
they are selling close.
Pelham will maintain its record
this fall of being the best market
for the farmers in this section.
Captured an Unexpected
Prize.
Lucinda Davis, a colored wom¬
an, thirty-five years old, captured
an unexpected prize at Lousville,
Ky. In a contest she ate five
watermelons and as a result the
coroner had to be called in.

On Monday morning at 0
o’clock at the home of its grand¬
mother, Mrs. Carter, occurred the

Irwm, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L
Irwin.
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin came to
Pelham from Sale City a week
ago and placed the child under
the care of Dr. O. B. Bush but
skillful medical attention failed
to save its life.
Several months ago the child
drank some potash and had never
gotten over it.
The remains were carried to
Doerun and laid to rest there.
The child was two years and
two months old. The sympathy
of the community is extended to
the bereaved father and mother.

Work of Legislature Made
Law by Signature of
the Governor.
Gov. Brown has disposed of all
general legislation which was en¬
acted at the recent session of the
General Assembly.
After a careful perusal of the
general tax act and the general
appropriation measure, Gov.
Brown attached * his signa¬
ture to those measures and they
are nmv law.
The only measure which Gov.
Brown vetoed outright was that
proposing to abolish at once the
City Court of Ash burn. This
bill was considered a partisan
political measure, enacted, it is
said, for the purpose of “abolish¬
ing” Judge Hawkins, who pre¬
sides over the court, rather than
the court itself.
It is said the representative
from Turner county and the sena¬
tor from that district are on the
opposite side of the political fence
from Judge Hawkins, the latter
the present Governor.
Several delegations called on
the Governor to urge him to veto
this bill, and he received numer¬
ous telegrams to the same effect,
wh>le he heard from comparative¬
ly few persons favoring the meas¬
ure.
Strong opposition was brought
to bear against two local bills
which Gov. Brown had under
consideration for several days.
One of these is a bill which
puts certain restrictions upon the
running of automobiles in Bar¬
tow county. Many residents of
Cartersville either saw or wrote
the Governor urging him to dis¬
approve this bill because they
feared if it became a law it would
endanger their chances of getting
the hoped-for government high¬
way from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
They expressed the belief that if
this bill became a law, Bartow
county would be left off this road.
Governor Brown, however,
could not see his way clear to
veto the bill, and gave it his ap¬
proval.
All of the other legislation en¬
acted by the General Assembly
received the Governor’s approval
without contest.
