CREAMERY IN MACON.

A creamery at Macon has been an in
teresting subeject in Noxubee county
for the past few months and it now
looks as though we were to have one.
without doubt. as there are over five
hundred cows pledged. which. Mr.. Cur
Ter says, Is sufficient to warrant the en-
terprise being started. A site has been
selected and the matter is developing
as fatt as such matters will and keep
in healthy condition.
The first and most important point is
to secure an experienced man to oper-
ate it, one who has sufficient confidence
to put his money in the business. Such
a man has been secured by Mr.. Gurler;
man that Mr.. Gurler, after visiting
him at his place of business and inter-
viewing his patrons and the business
men where he has been located seven
years, is willing to take an intesest
with, this being the condition'on which
the man would come here.
Noxubee county has more thap one
thousand good grade Jersey cows
cows that will make their owners a
greater profit than any other line of
work on their farms when intelligently
handled
In proof of this, it is only necessary to
do some investigating, as that will
prove conclusively that every dairy Sec
tion in the United States. Europe and
Australia. and also Japan, is prosperous.
The boil weevil is with us at last and
the negroes are ready to milk, and they
make good mixers when properly
taught, why not utilize thsm at dairy
ing and keep them with US. Give the
COW chance to utilize the grass that
grows SO naturally with us. in place OF
fighting it as we have been doing for
seventy five years. The men that are
utilizing the grass are making more
money than the cotton growers and
there is not half the risk and worry
connected with the work that there is
in growing cotton.
The COW will enable us to fertilize
our land ard put it in condition SO that.
with tile drainage we can compete with
the weevil and beat him in the race.
Now, as we are to have a creamery,
let US patronize it so long as it gives
fair treatment; the operators certainly
deserve that
Remember that the cream will be
paid for at the end of every month. 1t
will not be ''wait all summer for
crop of cotton to grow"

Ginner's Report.

The census department in its report
published at 9 g. m. today. Friday,
gives the amount of cotton ginned to
December 18th this year 1924, 1853
bales against 1871, 1000 bales to the
same period last year.
Quite number OF the largest handlers
of spot cotton believe there is smaller
per cent of the crop remaining to be
ginned than ever before at this season,
and if they are correct in their opinion
the market will doubtless advance.

WINTER IN MONTANA.

F1athead county, Montana, is in the
northwestern section on the state, on the

OF Seattle. 1t is also 90 miles south OF the
province Of Alberta in Canada and 1000
miles from Atlanta. Snow commenced
falling the first Of November and the
snow IS a foot deep in the valleys and
as you approach the mountains gets
deeper, anywhere from to Is feet deep.
The sides OF the mountains for 1000 feet
are covered with a heavy forest of pine,
FIR and tamerac, but at this time the
snow is so deep in the mountains these
forests are entirely obscured.

zero here: the ice on the lakes from

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS
SPLIT OVER ROOSEVELT
Many Office HOIderS Said to
Be Ready to Desert Taft.
Two Conventions Possible

Roosevelt has caused a split in the Re-
publican party in Georgia by drawing to
himself a wing of the Republican forces
in this state, in which are mentioned a
number of officeholders serving under
the regime of President Taft.
The prediction was made yesterday that
a majority of Georgia Republicans will
swing to his support, and that the state
convention in Atlanta on February IA
will lend it's Endorsement to him rather
than to President Taft.
Henry s. Jackson, Internal revenue
collector for Georgia, appears prominent
in support of Mr. Taft; hut officeholders
for the most part are silent. No public
expression is being given of their posi-
ton, and the inference is left that men
who have served under President Taft
are inclining to Colonel Roosevelt
Former Republican officeholders are
Among these is said to be H. A Rucker,
internal revenue collector before Henry
s. Jackson.
Already the division of support among
Georgia Republicans has caused an active
split in the party in Fulton county. One
wing supporting President Taft has is
sued an announcement through H. L.
Johnson, chairman, that delegates to dis
trict and state conventions shall be APP
pointed instead of elected. The Roosevelt
half of the party has replied with the
charge that this announcement purposes
to disfranchise a portion of the Republi-
can voters in Fulton county, and have
declared that they viii not agree to
such a selection of delegates.
The announcement which has set the
party IN Fulton county into a wrangle
is in the form of a call for the county
primary on February 6. This call pro-
vides that votes shall be cast as usual
for the presidential candidates, who
evidently will ne Taft, Roosevelt, and
LaFollette; but that, instead of delegates
being elected at this primary they shall
be appointed by representatives of the
successful candidate. If President Taft
is the selection of this primary, the
present Republican machine will appoint
the Fulton county delegates to district
and state conventions; while if Roose-
welt or LaFollette is named. the ma
chine in Fulton county will be reor-
ganized and delegates named
