WIDOWED MOTHER
SEEKS LOST SON

A mothers heartache to see her long
lost son has led Mrs. Mary +. Gaines, of
Washington, Ga, to write The Journal
story that has lain yelled in pathos and
mystery for nine years.
In 1900, she declares, her son, William
Edward Gaines, was assaulted in Wash
ington and in defending himself injured
one of the men who had attacked him.
Becoming apprehensive that the wounds
he had inflicted were serious, he hurried
out of the state. Since that day his moth
er has lost all trace of him.
The injured man, she states in her let
ter to The Journal, has since recovered
fully and is living in Atlanta, so that
all circumstances which might have pre-
vented her sons return are Cancelled.
at want him to come back to me-" she
writes, cor at least to let me hear from
him. 1 am a widow and my heart
aches to see him once more"
And so wherever William Edward
Gaines may be wandering through the
wide world, his mother calls to him to
come home to her. She has an idea that
he is somewhere out west and therefore
wishes Chicago papers and others in that
territory to assist her.

FARMERS PLEAD FOR

President and Congress Memoir
allied Not to Destroy $346, OO0,-
900 of Treasury Notes, But to
Increase Coinage.

UNION CITY, Ca, Nov. efforts,
which may be made in congress- to de-
stroy $346, 0OO,O 600 of United States treasury
notes and to melt into bullion $500. 900 Of
silver, will be met with condemnation Of
the Georgia division of the Farmers Ed
vocational and Cooperative Union OF
America.
Resolutions, adopted by the representa-
tives of the Georgia division roundly con-
denim such efforts and at the same time
ask for the increase of both gold and
silver and the issuance Of gold and silver
certificates
The resolutions follow:
1--WE the representatives of the Farm
ers' Union of Georgia condemn unquali-
fedly the effort to be made in the next
congress to destroy s346 OOO. coo of the Unit
ed States treasury notes and to melt into
bullion $500, 600 600 of silver.
such action will take from unrestrict-
ed circulation about 81, 900 coo, 900 which are
precious boom to our people.
Banking currency substituted for this
money of the people will give additional,
and even reasonable power, to expand and
to contract the money volume at will anu
thus hasten and complete the financial re-
elimination of the producers of wealth
called the masses.
"We therefore call aloud to the presi-
dent and congress, and especially to the
senator's and representatives of Georgia:
First, to let the treasury notes live TO
do good and not to be destroyed and do
harm to the republic.
Second, to increase the coinage of both
gold and silver and the issuance of gold
and silver certificates to supply the de-
mand for money in this republic whose
production of wealth and expansion of
commerce is increasingly marvellous"

Elected President at Meeting of
Georgia Fruit Exchange. M.
Fleming Reelected Manager.
H. d. Marks Is Assistant.

Aside from the election of officers
trustees, executive committeeman and
manager, the members of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange at their meeting yester-
day decided on two important policies
for the coming year. One was to reduce
the commission. which the growers shall
pay for the handling OF their fruit, from
J 10 to per cent. 1t was pointed out that
the exchange could amply afford to re-
duce this commission since the exchange
after it's first year of success, had enough
support of the growers to make it more
cooperative and less of a. dividend pay
ing proposition. The exchange on the
same idea reduced the TO-. b. commission
from to 3 per cent.
A resolution of ]. II. Hale calling on
the growers to urge their senators and
congressman to ask Secretary Wilson to
arrange for the government experimental
preceding cars, now being used in Cali
fornia, to be sent to Georgia the next
season for experiment here, was adopted

about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, made
an error of omission that was fatal to
his chance for plumber.
He failed to reconnoiter; and the first
thing that tripped MIN as he dragged
his legs through the small opening was

Rartnw County School Fair

CARTERSVILLE, Ca, Nov. 6.-An
occasion of much pleasure and inter
est was the school fair held at the
county court house today. 1t was
held in this city.
County School Commissioner Henry
Milan. who is ever awake to the inter
ests of edlPation in Barlow county is
the real instigator Of the scheme, and
if every county in the state had as
bright and hustling a commissioner as
Henry Milan, the cause of education
throughout the state would certainly
take on a great boost =.
Mrs Walter B. Hill, of Athens, wife
of the late Chancellor Hill, was present
and made the chief address, which was
repIete with truth pertinent to the
occasion, and her talk was very inter
esting and was we'll received. She was
greeted with a large audience Of the
best people of Barlow county, and the
occasion which was in reality for the
purpose of stimulating more interest
in the cause of education in the coun-
ty, certainly made a great step for
ward.
The exhibits were excellent and very
elaborate. Eight of the county schools
contested for the prizes offered for the
best exhibits. the county schools en-
L9rlng the contest are as IOlIOWS. LII
gon, Stilesboro, Linwood Pine Grove,
Euharlee, Pine Log Rebecca and the
model school at Cass. 1t was certainly
a difficult task for the judges to decide
which was best. The exhibits consisted
of farm products, the products OF the
good cooks in the schools, fruits, nuts,
chickens, and in fact it was a real mill
iature county fair
Stilesboro was awarded first prize
Pine Grove second, and Rebecca school
third prize. Pine Grove school was
awarded the prize for the best arrang-
ed display.
1t is believed by many that the
school fair held today, which was the
first of it's kind ever heidi in this
county, has made such a favorable i'm
preston, that it will be attempted to
have a real county fair in Barlow
next year, combining the educational
feature with 1t, and have a real home
coming week at a suitable date next
fall.

PROGRESS OF THE

INTO consideration the short courses or

gree OF certainty that the prospects for

Friends of the husband brand the sto-

other things, he was assured OF his
