Reputation.

Reputation is one of the prizes for
which men contend. 1t Is, as Mr..
Burke calls 1t, "the cheap defense and
ornament Of nations and the nurse of
manly exertiOns." 1t produces more
labor and more talent than twice the
wealth of country could ever rear up.
1t is the coin of genius. and 1t is the
imperious duty of every man to be-
stow 1t with the most scrupulous JUS

STAMPEDE TO BUY COAL
AS Blizzard is COMING
Dealers Given Rush Orders
Yesterday

Evidently believing that yesterdays
raw weather forecasted the approach
of small-size blizzard, Americus peo-
pie made a converted demand upon
the coal yards to supply their empty
bins. Wagons were kept going all day
in effort to supply the demands for
fuel, and even then some tardy buyers
We're overlooked. The price of coal is
about the same now as last winter
it never seems to get cheaper-and
local yards are well supplied. Wealth
er reports yesterday told Of snow and
billiards in the woolly west, and the
frigid edges of the robust ones seems
to be coming this way.

AN INTER-CITY
LEAGUE MAY BE
NOW ORGANIZED
AMONG BASKET BALL TEAMS
This Is Suggestion Made By
Secretary Dunn

Now that interest has been aroused
in basket ball here and in nearby cit
les, a suggestion has been made by
Secretary Murray Dunn, of the local
Young Mems Christian Association
that an inter-city league be organized
to furnish sport for the season that is
now just opening.
Secretary Dunn mentioned the mat
ter Friday, while he was in Dawson
with the local High School team, to
Superintendent Land, of the Dawson
schools, who was pleased with the
suggestion and promised the support
and cooperation of Dawson to help in
the movement, The other cities sug-
gested in this connection were Albany
and Columbus, making four competing
teams in the league.
From letters that he has received
from the management of the Albany
team already, Secretary Dunn feels
sure that a team from that city would
be readily and gladly entered in the
league, if it is organized. If Columbus,
then, is willing to enter the organiz4-
ton, its success is assured. A letter
has been sent to the management OF
the Columbus team to find out if that
city will lend its aid to the plan.
As soon as a reply is received from
Columbus, it will be known whether a
league can be organized and when
such organization can be effected. #
Columbus is willing to enter the pro-
posed league, the meeting to effect the
organization will be held here. Other
wise the meeting to organize the league
will likely be held in Dawson. At any
rate it seems very likely now that the
new league will be organized, whether
Columbus consents to join it or not.
Secretary Dunn, who has been such
helpful factor in encouraging local
athletics. is equally as enthusiastic in
promoting the inter-city league, which
would greatly aid in drawing these
four cities more closely together in a
friendly way and which would pro-
mote a broader interest in this phase
of athletics in that section of the
state.
While the plans for the inter-city
league are being arranged, however,
the local basket ball league will re-
sumo its schedule of games, the sched-
ule that has been played thus far being
repeated. The next games will be
played Friday night, and they will be
greatly enjoyed after the interim when
the players We're out of the city on the

it was removed from Amoricus some
four or five years ago.
The force OF division dispatchers
will enter at once upon their duties

will be permanent.

WILL TEACH FARMERS
TO Fight BOIL WEEVIL
Institute viii Be Held This
Winter.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. Farmers in
stitutes will be conducted during the
months of December and January un-
der the direction of State Entomologist
E. L. Worsham, with a special view to-
ward coaching the cotton planters CT
the state how to combat the Eon Wee
vii when it reaches Georgia as it is
bound to do in a few years.
Entomologist Worsham ana Commits
sioner Hudson spent several weeks in
Texas early in the fall studying this
disease at close hand and it is based
upon actual observation that these ad-
dresses at these Institutes will be
made. Prof. Worsham will also give
the farmers pointed advice with refer
ence to withstanding encroachments of
the black root in cotton, for as stated
in a recent article he has developed a
resistant variety of cotton seed which
will be distributed throughout the
state as much as possible during the
spring planting months.
Any injury to the cotton plant works
a hardship on the cotton prower, the
cattle raiser, dairyman and live stock
grower, for it means an injury to the
cotton seed crop and consequently
reduction in the amount Of cotton seed
meal which is available for cattle feen.
Georgia in common with her sister
states has come to depend largely up
on cotton seed meal and hulls as a live
stock feed throughout the winter
months. 1t has been proven to be the
best as well as the most inexpensive
Cbtainable. The housewives of the
country, too, are day by day increasing
in their preference to cotton seed oil
products over animal fats on account
of it's purity and healthfulness and
many prefer it in place of the more eX-
pensive imported oils for table uses.
Thus it is seen that thes farmers in
stitutes, the exact dates of which are
to be announced later are to be Of
general interest and great importance
throughout the state.
