COUNTY NEWS.
OLIVE SPRINGS.


Mr.. Wesley Brown gathered from
ST. of an acre so bushels of sweet
potatoes.
We learn that Mr.. d. NJ Warrer
is doing good business with his store.
Mr.. Warren is a worthy citizen and
deserves the patronage of the entire
neighborhood. Let as cucourag"
every enterprise.
Next Saturday night is the night
for the "B. L. to meet. Let every
member come and those that are
not members. A debate will be one
Of the main features of the occasion.
There are more peas, corn, pota-
toes and hcgs through this section
than ever known before.
We learn that Mr.. F. &. Kalb or
ganized literary club at Nickalack
last week. One at New Hope, one
at Milford, and one at Nickajack
since the last county convention.
Let the good work go on.
During these days of political
turmoil a question arises how can
the farmer fail to vote for John w.
Maddox for Congress ? When we
remember that DR.. FELTON, opposed
Col. Everett, the farmers candidate,
four years ago. Now what do you
think of man that will admit that
he did not have judgment enough
20 see that he was wrong when he
opposed the farmers and their meas
ures in such bitter terms four years
ago? Something must be wanting,
or he must. think the people are
mighty big fools. That is what DIR.
FELTON, done in the court house OF
Cobb county. Maddox is the same
old shoe and is no wish a-washer or
fip.a-hopper for an office.
The cotton crop will be much
shorter than was expected. We
certainly can realize that some 81
our farmers, particularly the renter,
can 10 longer raise cotton to any
profit at the present price, and it's
foolishness to argue otherwise. There
are many reasons why. One is that
ours is no. the only country that
produces it. When we see Greece
India and South America producing
large crops with cheaper labor we
cannot be reasonably astonished at
the price. Another is that tor the
past few years our crops have been
immense and the increase from other
countries together with ours has
stocked the market. The factories
and the merchants are stocked with
goods. Oh we'll (some one will say
there are enough people in the
United States to consume all her
cotton. Now I'd like for some one
to tell me how you are going to
make them consume it. The day
has come when the farmer must
take care of the farmer, when he
raises cotton with the assumption
that he will bring about some cause
to make people consume his crop.
It's mistaken idea and it won't do
to raise cotton on this kind of basis.
Mrs. Luda Williams, after several
weeks visit to relatives at this place
aud other sections of the state, re-
turned to her home in Wise county,
Texas, last week. 1t was her first
visit after living there for fourteen
years.
from what we can learn several
more have received "white cap"
notices this last week. Among
whom were DR.. Moore, N. H. Stew
art ard Tom A. Lee Handy. The
whole southern part of the county
seems 20 be in turmoil of strife
and wickedness. Any way it's all
low. down, rotten meanness and
won't be tolerated always.
The little son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
viii Wade died Saturday and was
inferred at Milford grave yard Sun>
day.
We had the pleasure of attending
the Debating and Literary Clubs al
Milford and New Hope Wednesday
and Saturday nights. The render.
ing of the program at Milford was
certainly surprising success. The
debate OF New Hope was inspiring
and the mock trial was fun, and the
Jury made mistrial and hearins
of new trial was not heard, so the
thing was dropped. Miss Ma,
Handy charmed the audience with
a beautiful recitation.
Some of our farmers take potatoes
to Atlanta and sell them at % cent
bushel. Better feed them to you
hogs.

"B. L." Saturday night.
Preaching here next Saturday an,

After continued spell of sick
ness we are glad to learn that tn
little son Of Mr.. and Mrs. McWat
ters is better.
Prof. Mullins will have a larg
