MARRIAGE AT BRONWOOD.
Miss Marieleu HargrOve and DR.. Ell
der Are United.

A marriage of wide interest was
that of Miss Marieleu Hargrove OF
BronWood and DR.. Omar F. Elder OF
Atlanta, which took place at the
home of the brides parents in Bron-
wood Saturday, Feb. 3rd, at one
o'clock. Announcement of the mar
riage came as quite a surprise, be-
ing a very quiet one, and the only
Witnesses were the immediate fam
lily of the bride.
Mrs. Elder, as Miss Hargrove, was
known as one of the prettiest and
most popular women of this section.
She possesses a charm of personality
that enabled her to number her
admirers by her acquaintance. She
was educated at Brenau College
Conservatory, Gainesville, where she
is remembered as a prominent mem
Der in Sorority circles.
DR.. Elder was formerly from
Watkinsville, Ga. He is a graduate
of the University of Georgia, but has
made his home in Atlanta since his
graduation from a medical college.
He has been most successful in the
practice of his profession. He is an
associate of DR.. Edgar C. Ballenger,
and a member of the faculty of the
Atlanta School of Medicine Numer-
Gus friends wish the couple much
happiness.

Flagler Planted Trees With Dynamite
A writer in the Manufacturers
Record says that three years ago,
while he was in Southern Florida,
he was talking with H. M. Flagler
about conditions in a region where
the surface showed little or no soil.
At the time the question of dyna-
hitting the soil for tree planting and
other purposes had not attracted
much attention.
Mr.. Flagler said that on some of
this land he had set out a large
grapefruit orchard, finding that in
nearly every case it was necessary
to dynamite the ground in order to
make a hole in which to plant the
tree, since the ground was too rocky
to dig holes in any other way.
The trees planted in these dyna-
mited holes, Mr.. Flagler said, had
grown more rapidly and stood drouth
and hot weather better than the
trees planted in good soil in the i'm
mediate vicinity. He thought that
the dynamiting of the hole made it
possible for the roots of the tree to
strike far down into the ground and
bring up nourishment from the
depths which could not be reached
by roots of trees planted in the old
way.

the same evidence and arguments
again, and reversed themselves.
Why?
In the lamest possible way ]. A.
Perry tries to explain. When he
came before you, asking you to elect
him over Stevens, he made you the
talrest promises that ever flowed
from an office seekers lips. Elect
Perry! and you'd have a loyal and
fearless champion on the commits
sion. Perry would not become tool
OF the corporations, as ODE Stevens
mad done. No, indeed! Perry was
a peoples man, undaunted and in
corruptible!
Yet, here he goes, doing worse
than Stevens ever did, and giving
posterity just cause to curse his
name.
The merger which the Wall street
gang declared beforehand that they
meant to make is illegal. No one
can doubt that they intend to send
power from the Chattahoochee into
tennessee; and from Tallulah into
South Carolina. No one can doubt
that they intend to run trolley car
lines into adjacent states. There
fore, they come directly under the
Sherman law, which so many other
corporations are brazenly violating.
This man Perry has the indecency
to plead, in excuse of his betrayal
CT us, that unless he had voted for
the $57O00,000 perpetual mortgage
on us those Wall street marauders
could not have formed their unlaw-
full combination.
Perry seems to lack sense, as well
as principle
Fortunately, we get a chance at
one of those three traitors this year.
That is Paul Trammell.
Yes, sir; we will have the pre-
cious privilege of retiring Paul, who
will no doubt be taken care of by
his Wall street friends. Wall street
generally provides soft places for the
officials who betray the public to spe-
cial privilege.
We must build up a sentiment in
Georgia that will make office hold
ers afraid to sell out.
We can't make better start than
to beat Paul Trammell."

TERRELL HOLDS SUPREMACY
MAINTAINS PLACE AS GEORGIA'S
GREATEST COTTON COUNTY.
According to Government Statistics
Only Four Others, Much Larger in
Area, Produced as Many Bales.

Government figures show that
Terrell county maintains it's suprem-
acy as the greatest cotton growing
county in Georgia, producing more
per square mile than any other.
Up to December 18th there had
been ginned in Terrell county of the
1911 crop 43,512 bales, and only
four other counties, all of them much
larger than and some twice the area
of Terrell, showed a greater number
of bales. These counties are Burke,
Jackson, Laurens and Walton. Ac-
cording to government statistics
there is only one county in the Unit
ed States that grows as much cotton
per square mile as Terrell, and that
is Marlboro county, South Carolina.
The following are the counties of
the state reporting 10000 bales or
over, together with the number OF
bales ginned up to the same time

WATSON WALKS PERRY'S LOG
SEVERELY CRITICISES MAN HE
HELPED DEFEAT STEVENS.
Charges Him With Being a
Tool of Wall Street.

Thos. E. Watson, who contributed
largely to the defeat of Railroad
Commissioner o. B. Stevens of Daw-
son by Hon. J. A. Perry, seems to
think now that big mistake was
made. In the current issue of one
of his papers he severely criticises
Commissioners Perry, Trammell and
Gray for reversing themselves after
the short space of ten days and vot-
ing to allow the Georgia Railway and
Power Company to increase rs
stock and bond issues to $4,000
600. He says:
And the sting is that this outrage
is made possible by the conduct of
Gray, Perry and Trammell.
They had already decided that
the petition of the Wall street ma
rauders ought not to be granted. This
decision was reached after all the evil
dence was in and after all the argu-
ments had been heard.
Then, within 10 days, they heard

Homer had killed another negro

the calaboose, which had been con-
verified into a cotton house, to be
kept until the Lee county sheriff
could come for him.
Homer set fire to the building and
it was destroyed together with sew

himself, had a narrow escape, and
his hide was blistered in several
places.
After he burned the guardhouse
Homer was taken to Leesburg and

Terrell county raised the largest
crop of cotton in it's history the
past year, and the excess over last
years crop will be approximately
$4,000 bales. 1t is possible that had
all the cotton been gathered that
was grown fully $4,000 bales would
have been ginned in the county in
1911. Never before has there been
cotton left in the fields and turned
under by the farmers preparing the
land for the next years crop. 1t is
an unusual situation not only in Ter
rell but all over the state of Geor-
gia, but it is said by many that the
seed plowed under will be of great
benefit to the land as fertilizers and
that thus the remainder of the crop
will not be a total loss after all.
