1000 BALES COTTON
OFF OF 1900 ACRES
Terrell County Farmers Make This
Fine Showing.

There is prehaps not another county
in Georgia that has 1000 acres of land
that have produced 1000 bales of cot
ton this year, but that is what has
been done on two Terrell county
farms-an average of one bale from
every acre that was planted.
On Mr.. ]. w. Wooten's farm near
Sasser. of which Mr.. c. C. Lundy is
superintendent, from $50 acres plant
ed in cotton $50 bales have already
been picked, and it is conservatively
estimated that approximately that
many more are now open and waiting
to be gathered. A considerable part
of Mr.. Wooten's crop has not yet
been picked over the first time.
On Mr.. j. D. Viewers farm all
equally as good record has been
made. He has 400 acres in cotton
which will yield him at the lowest
calculation 400 bales There have been
275 already picked and the remaining
125 bales will be easily obtained Mr..
Jesse p. Smith is the superintendent
of Mr.. Viewers farm
If there are two farmers anywhere
in Georgia who can beat what has
been done by these two Terrell coun-
tians The News would like to hear OF
them. .5 .g;,s, .
The number of Terrall county farm
ers who make bale1of cotton to the
acre are too numerous to mention
but of course there are not many wh(
average that much on as large bod
les oof land as are embraced in the
farms of Messrs. Weaver and Wooten

The bare boughs bending on the chilly

The stormy sky, suIlen and overcast
Tell me that winter once again IS
here,
Summer is past.

Naught now remains to me but

Have slipped away as on the gentle

That rocked to sleep the robins in
their nests,
High in the trees.
Season of sunshine. must you leave US

Pause in your fight, o Time, for but
one day,
One hour, ere you hasten on your way,
Grant that the summer for this little

Longer may stay
Was that a voice that answering

Time can not stop, wishing is all in
vain,
At your command summer can not
remain?"

The drip of rain.

The deepest we'll in the United

Its bottom is 5575 feet beneath the
surface. The deepest we'll in the
world is in Germany and is 6572 feet

was drilled for petroleum in western
China by primitive methods and by
means OF suuch crude appliances as
cable made of twisted strands OF rat

These facts and much other inter

the necessity for first tearing the

given.

1t cannot be seriously questioned
that the superintendent Of streets
does good work in trying 10 keep
the streets of this city clean un-
der the system that is now in vogue.
Nevertheless, the streets as a
general rule are not what they
ought to be cons dering the size,
wealth and business Importance of
clarksburg. on account of the vast
amount OF traffic both in the streets
and Sidewalks, IT is impossible, un-
der present arrangements. to keep
the streets in the reasonably clean
condition they ought TO be kept.
The blame does NOT rest entirely
upon the shoulders Of any certain
individual nor of any few individuals
The system of street cleaning as
laid down by present ordinances, is
wrong and IT should be revised.
For one thing. there should be
some arrangement for continuous
and systematic cleaning of the
streets where mud accumulates the
quickest instead Of flushing them at
intervals Of week or more, and
again there should be some coop
Grafton with city officials on the
part OF property owners, something
now sadly lacking.
1t is complained that much OF the
dirt that gets upon the paved
streets Is tracked from the unpaved
streets. A great preventive work
could be accomplished with a few
shoyels. and sweepers right at the
points where the unpaved and
paved streets meet. In fact, much
Of the mud that is tracked squares
farther on would never get there If
this source we're somewhat checked.

Earlr shonninr Aid.


This editorial is written, or put
together, for the purpose OF ad
vancn the early Christmas shop
ping campaign, of which the Tele.
gram always has been an ardent
exponent. This article is intended
for the business men of the city
That is to say, the advertisers, but
the former term sufices as It Is 9
question whether those who do moi
advertise are business men in the
strict sense of the word. The
inspiration come sfrom the edl-
itorial columns of the Fairmont
West virg nian. in which the adver-
Users are urged to send their copy
for newspaper advertisements to
the newspaper offices early. Says
the West virginian:
There is not an idle printer in
Fairmont and no extra help can be
picked up to help out n the rush
season and when help is looked for
at this season out OF town we find
that their home publishers are de-
handing their services during the
holidays. If copy is in early or q
day or so in advance, at die or
slack times 1t will be given better
attention IN order to keep up with
the work during the holiday season
lit is necessary for the force to work
overtime and in some instances it is
almost day and night job. 1t is
a very trying situation for the
printers, but they are always WILLING
and ready to do all in their power
to get along and it S more IN con
s,deration of their efforts that we
make the request that all adver-
Using copy from now UP until the
end of the holiday season be fur
nished as far in advance as possible,
1t insures better attention to the ad-
vert sing matter"
Thus it can be plainly seen how
early copy would further the early
shopping crusade. If the advertise
ments are promptly and nicely
charged and the opportunity lie
g ven merchants to have their adyer-
tisements changed more often, the
shopping public will benefit by the
Information given in the advertise
ments and the merchants will de-
rye the benefit of more expeditions
shopping. The newspapers, too,
Will be sent out more promptly and
the advertisement readers will get
their news of the stores earlier,
which in small way, would help
them along in Their shopping.
