A WATCH should receive the
attention of our Repair Depart
ment at least once a year. There
may appear to be nething par
ticularly wrong with it still,
cleaning and an overhauling at
least once q year would lengthen
the life of your timepiece won
derfully. 1t is asking too much
of watch to expect it to keep
true to its duties if it is contin-
ually hampered more and moro
by the accumulation of dust and
dirt. Besides, this taxes the
delicate mechanism to excess,
aud certainly shortens the life
of a watch. A cleaning and a

Zone argument that is being
pressed upon our people is, that
| Georgia should follow the exam
ple of other Southern States that
have passed similar dlsfranchise-
ment laws. But let US ask, why
should Georgia follow them? Is
there anything in their examples
OH this subject worthy OF our imi-
tation? If their necessities COM
PEELED such questionable action,

initiate them when no such neces-
sity besets us. Did not Georgia
first redeem herself after recon-
struction? Has she not kept
abreast of her sister states in ma
terial, intellectual and moral pro-
gress? Is she not still the En-
pire State of the South? What
State can show a cleaner Official
record for thirty years? Rather
let Georgia continue to lead in
wise and conservative statesman

tions our white people are suffi-

ever return to the ballot boxE in

He entered plea Of guilty of

TALKS TO TEXANS.
OF His Georgia Visit and
Her Wonderful I'm
prOvements.

Rev, G. S. Tumlin, OF Sulphu
Springs, Texas, was on visit to Mari
eta. On his return home he deliveret
an address to club Of citizens. Among
other things he said:
81 saw progress, growth and enter
prise everywhere. Now, the question
arises, how has the vast improvement
come about in the past ten or twelve
Iyears?
First: They take better care Of
their land cultivate with improved
machinery, have recently been blessed
with good crops and received good
prices for their commodities. So farm.
ing is profitable.
Second: The peach culture, ex-
| tending over a territory north and
south 300 miles, has been a prolific
source OF revenue, and hills that had
been of little or no value now bloom
with the rich flavor of the peach.
Third: Manufacturing enterprises.
Cotton mills are running in almost ev.
cry county. Csrtersville has one mill
representing an investment of $3.50, :
600, Cedartown has eight cotton mills,
Carrollton one, Acworth one, and when
l asked man how many there are in
Georgia he shook his head and said
they multiply so fast he could not keep
up with them. The same condition
prevails in North and South CSrolina.
"But these industries are not con-
fined to cotton mills. found lime
works, furniture factories, overall fac
tories, brick works, iron furnaces. the
development of immense ore beds. No
wonder with 30 many sources of rev.
enue, so many resources, with now and
then new railroad, these people can
we'll afford to be cheerful and very
hopeful.
eve should all feel delighted for the
improvement that has taken place in
the older states. Nearly all of us came
from that direction. This should not
discourage us in our adopted state
For, take Texas as whole, she leads
the van in rich soil, broad ranches and
fine cattle. And right here at our door
we have an abundance of fertile land
adapted to variety of products. Our
peaches, potatoes, melons and berries
as well as cotton and corn, cannot be
surpassed by other sections. We have
timber enough not only for domestic
use, but to start a dozen furniture fac.
tories. Men wear clothing here as well
