The raising of cotton in Ger

165, 900 bales in 1906 10 285, 900
bales last year. This is the

each year. The soil and climate
are we'll adapted to the growing
of cotton and he believes that
with improved methods it can be
extended so that in time Ger

Declaration Filed.

The suit of Mrs. Donie Halbert
against the Howard Clock Co.,

was brought up in Federal court
at Aberdeen Monday, and in or
der to strengthen the case and
get it in better form for an APP
peal if the case was decided
against the plaintiff, Col. VIM.
Baldwin at once filed declaration
which would more strongly pre-
sent the case, which suit is now
pending. In August of last
year DR.. A. C. Halbert, husband
of the plaintiff. was sitting in
the hall on the lower floor of the
court house here and was killed
by weights of the clock which
came crashing through the
floor overhead. 1t was on this
accident that the suit was base.
Gen. E. 7. Sykes represented
the Howard Clock Co. and Mrs.
Halbert's case was in charge of
z. 2. Landrum and VIM. Bald
win.
Gen. Sykes contended that as
the time guarantee of five years
for the clock had expired before
the accident, the company was
not liable for damages.
The declaration for the plant
iff was highly praised by Judge
Niles. He said it was one of the
ablest documents he had received
in a long time.
Judge Niles upheld Gen.
Sykes contention.

Memphis. Tenn, Oct. IL
The funeral services of the late
George w. Agee. superintendent
of the Southern Express Compa-
ny. whose death occurred in this
city Saturday night, was held
Tuesday afternoon from the resi-
dence, 304 South Front street.
Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese,
will officiate at the services at
the home and at the last resting
place, which will be in Elmwood
cemetery.
Mr.. Agee's sudden death was
a great shock to the community
at large, as was evinced yester-
day from the many messages of
coincidence coming from all parts
of the country to the stricken
family.
Mr.. Agee's long and valued SER
vices with the Southern Exp1 ess
Company had won for him count
less friends and admirers, who
were attracted by his many ster-
ling qualities, and his pure,
cleancut business methods. A
silver service, which now graces
the Agee home, remains as an
enduring token of the close re-
lations existing between Mr..
Agee, in his capacity of superin-
tendent of the express company,
and the many employees of the
local office.

undertaking firm of Hoist Bros.

and subsequent death at the

School Improvement associs-
tion.

The Lowndes County School
Improvement Association met at
Franklin Academy Oct 2, Mrs.
C. B. McMichael, presiding. An
extract from her opening re-
marks will be of interest. THE
purpose of the organization is to
unite all the people of the COM
munity for the Improvement of
their school: 1st, by placing in
the school f. cilities for health,
comfort, education and beauty.
End, by placing trees, shrubs,
and flowers in the schoolyard.
3rd, by establishing a school
library. 4th, by making the
school a jovial center. 5th, by
making whatever Improvements
your school may need. Some of
the things that can be done for
the typical" rural school are:
Sweep down dust and cobwebs;
scrub floors; wash windows;
polish stoves; burn all the trash;
cut weeds and make school gar
dens; get plants for school room;
get books and magazines for
reading table and library. Per-
haps you say you are teacher and
not a scrub woman but if you
find yourself in one of these typ
ical rural schools, health and re-
spect demand one of two things,
clean it up or leave it. Through
the S. I. A. you may accomplish
many improvements without
working any hardship to your
self or any one else.
The S. l. A. endeavors to use
not only the county superintend-
ent and teachers who must of
course be the prime movers in
all educational progress, but the
pupils, patrons, business men,
club women and professional
men and the newspapers. The

ed to spend a week visiting the
schools in this county at some
