LII TIL: CENT
GREAT PIECE
Of MONEY
Flood of Letters in The Call
Contest Evidence of Its
Popularity

If a few of the persons who hold
IN contempt the little penny could be
induced to make the rounds of the
different schoolhouses on bank days"
and see the children ranging from
little tots in the baby class to the
pupils in the upper grades making
deposits of their penny savings with
the various teachers it would serve
as a lesson on the value of the little
copper coin.
Small as the penny is. it is not
spurned by the big banks with mil
lions of dollars of capital A special
man is assigned to do nothing but
make collections Of these savings of
pennies and it is safe to say that the
aggregate would keep Mr. scoffer in
grand style II he possessed it as an
income.
But the number of skeptics is grad
ually diminishing. Demonstration is
proving that the little penny is a
ereat piece OF money. The food of
letters from contestants in The Calls
big penny contest shows which way
IN this city and state.
These letters are still piling in from
every section. Have you written
yours? Remember the capital prize is
$50 in pennies. enough to buy a bunch
of fine Christmas presents for mother,
dad, sister. brother and friends.
If you haven't entered your letter
vet, delay no longer; there is still
time. Tell all you know of the ad
vantages of the penny and tell it in
not more than $50 words.
Here is what a few other contest
ants have to say about the penny.
Read the letters; maybe they will
inspire YOU
MORE PEOPLE, MORE COINS
In the progress of business the ever
ready and easily reckoned nickel must
yield TO the Cinderella of coins-the
penny So says this man, who ex-
presses his arguments rather forcloiy:
Penny Contest Editor. Increase of popu-
lation demands The use Of the smallest ls..so
impressed by the leading merchants and
the far seeing prophets Of the newer jour
nalism insist on its use. On the Paclhe
coast generally the demand for the penny
has been very near the surface.
The Call. feeling the public pulse erys-
stallizes the demand and adds zest 10 the
public expression Of its advantages
Women Of today demand cheaper cost OF
eggs II the cent were as Recognized IN tne
dairy store as IN the newspaper field the
price OF eggs would lower even quicker
than it has done at the moment.
The wholesaler ever in line TO cater to
REAL demand, must put his 70 the
ground. IN the sequence Of business the
ever ready and esSiy reckcned nickel must
yield to the Cinderella OF coins-the penny.
The west. except in a geographical sense,
is no more west indisregarding the value
Of q cent. The lesson Of the s. 10 and Is
cent store and its big success Is not lost
on the discerning minds Of this great city.
Frontier life whether in western Amer
ica or Alaska, even farther aheld. in Rho
a desia. Transvaal CT the back blocks Of
Queensland, all have felt earlier in
the day the advance Of the lowly coins
and their place in marketing.
II the high cost Of living be cut.
then the advantages all lie on the side Of
the Cinderella coin-oue penny-one cent.

BOON TO POOR

Pennies are the boon of the poor
this writer thinks. Better that a maj
be able to buy half loaf of bread
If he hasn't the price of a whole one
than to go without any at all. Th'
penny makes this possible.
Penny Contest Editor: As in many things
Of the world fractions and trifes are the
most important factors necessary to consti-
tute BIG things; so is the penny an
important fraction of the BIG DOLLAR.
We could not, in the world. conceive OF
thing without small fractions Some peo-
pie say that II the smallest coin IN
country Is q nickel, the business there is
better than In places where pennies are
in circulation. But this can not be re-
garded as a certainty: many places prove
ii to the contrary. Where pennies are In
circulation people do not hesitate to spend
them. This therefore, brings about busi-
ness. as it is the pennies that make the
dollar.
There are many reasons why pennies
are OF much help to the poor. hungry
man has only three cents in his possess
sion, and TO buy a loaf of bread costs
five cents and no halves sold. Therefore.
he would be unable TO obtain bread to
still his hunger. But, on the contrary.
il pennies ARE taken. he would at least
be able to obtain A HALF loaf. The poor
earn only limited number of dollars: they
must. therefore. split them into smaller
coins, and should pennies be In circula-
tion they would have the advantage of
splitting them into pennies-which to
them means lot.

fort to bring more substantial white
farmers to Lee county. He feels
that all that is needed to make Lee
county grow and develop as it never
has before is the influx of worthy
white immigrants. It will be his
purpose to bring white immigrants
to the county, and he is aiding Lee
county most generously in provid-
ing for farm demonstration agent,
50 that every white farmer in the
county may have the expert aid and
cooperation of a skilled demonstra-
tion agent.
It is needless to say that the CO.
operation and support given by Mr..
Smith is deeply appreciated here.
On all sides have been heard most
enthusiastic words Of praise for him
In the work ne IS doing TO ala Lee
county. The message from him
last Saturday was received here with
the greatest enthusiasm by the
members Of the committee who had
been engaged in the work of collect
ina the fund for the farm demon
stration agent. With such generous
aid'from one who resides away from
Lee county, though deeply interes-
ted in its progress and development,
the collection Of the remainder Of
the sum needed should be matter
lof only a short time.

or little later has notyet been de-
'fiinitely announced. It is known,
however, that the new owner Of
these estates desires to aid in the
upbuilding Of Lee county by bring
ing in white immigrants, which will
be done as soon as IS convenient.
OF equal magnitude with the Gen.
trails colonization tract, in an op-
posite section Of the county, the
settling Of this new tract in the
manner that is being used by the
Central should bring into Lee coun-
ty in very short time a large num-
Der Of desirable white immigrants.
This would help the county more
than anything that can be done, and
it is an indication Of the wonderful
growth Of Lee county.

Many good results are already
being felt relative to the collection
Of street and advalor, m taxes here,
and the vigorous campaign that
will be made by the city officials
will bring still better results. Citi-
zeas of Leesburg are paying their
taxes, as the city is determined
that all the taxes for the year shall
be collected.
Through The Journal and other
methods the fact that the tax books
are now open have been made
known. The street tax books have
closed, and the collection of the re-
manning taxes on this book will be
made by means of fifas. There
will be no tax-dodging as the city
officials will issue ifas and collect
them. The ad valorem tax books
will close December 20.

100000 Real Estate Deal
Just Being COnsummated Here,
Mr. r. Smith, Of Atlanta bought Johnson Price place and the
Bryant pIace--4,OOO acres Of land will be used
for white immigrants.

A great impetus has been given
very recently to the cause of white
immigration in Lee county by pur-
chase made recently by Mr.. ] r.
Smith, of Atlanta, Of the two Mar
tin estates near Leesburg, know, as
the Johnson Price place and the
Bryant place, both justwest Of Lees
burg and very near the city accord,
ing to reports made here. A sum
aggregating s100, 900 is reported to
have changed hand ON the deal,
which was consummated through
the Farmers Land, Loan and Title
Company, Of Albany, the WIDELY
known and popular real estate firm
which is accomplishing great things
i'll the upbuilding Of Leecounty and
this section.
For some time negotiations have.
been under way between Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Martin relative to the sale
of the place, and all the details have
not yet been completed. The deal
has been definitely closed, however,
it is understood, and the minor ar
rangements will soon be completed
In THE aggregate the number Of acres
included in the two estates is A 900,
which makes the largest real estate
deal that ha. been consummated in
the county in a good while. The
land commences across Kinchafo-
one creek. just outside the corporate
limits Of Leesburg, and extends
westward for several miles.
Though definite plans have not
yet been announced, it is under
stood that it is the ultimate desire
of the owner to subdivide the two
large estates into small farms and to
sell them to white immigrants,
Whether this will be done at once
