A WHOLESOME TENDENCY

That reduction has been made in
Georgia in the cotton acreage even to
a very small extent should prove en-
couraging. 1t is tendency that Is
wholesome and indicative of the new
order of things. The land not planted
in cotton may be very much better
planted in corn and other crops that
mean food. In this connection tue
following comment is made by the At
lanta Journal:
According to an estimate made by
the New York Commercial inquiry,
Georgia's cotton acreage for the cur
rent year shows a reduction of about
three per cent. Assuming this to be
true, how are we to interpret it? What
does it mean to the States agricultural
and economical life?
Its chief significance is undoubtedly
this: that Georgia farmers are reali =
ing the disadvantage of the one-cro =
plan and are devoting more soil and
more energy to the production of food
supplies They are responding to the
appeals of science and of good bust
ness, which means, in the first place
that they are adopting intensive meth
DDS of cultivation and, Furthermore
that they are managing their affairs
with a view to home comfort and in
dependence.
The fact that fewer acres of cotton
We're planted in Georgia this year
does not mean necessarily that the
states cotton crop will be smaller than
heretofore or that it will net the plan
tiers less money. On the contrary, 1t
indicates a more progressive system
of farming One acre, carefully tend
ed, will yield a richer harvest and
larger profit than two acres without
up-to-date methods. A farmer who
raises ten bales of cotton and also his
own supplies is far better off than he
who raises twenty and must then
spend the entire proceeds of his mon
ey crop for necessaries which he could
have produced at home.
In this light, therefore, the reported

AMERICUS MUST WIN THE
TROPHY

Fans here are all excitement over
the opening game in the Empire State
League on the home grounds, which
will be played here tomorrow after
noon. Americas should win the trophy
for attendance, for if that is done the
season will be inaugurated in such an
suspicious manner as to insure heavy
attendance here all the season.
All around the circuit of six cities
in the league the attendance has been
exceptional. 1t remains for Americas
to cap the climax with an attendance
record that will lead each of the other
five cities in the league. This can be
done. too, if the fans and people Of
the city will get together as they
should.
Now that the league has been estab-
lished and is running well, Americas
can well afford to bring out the big
gest attendance in its history to make
the opening game here a tremendous
Every citizen and resident of
Americas who can induce somebody to
come to Americas on that day should
do so. In that way a personal inter-

will serve to help the team throughout

hand. 1t was hard to be expected of
Eleanor that she could be offended
at having an arm around her. In the
village, people went on straw rides
and sleigh rides and buggy rides and
picnics, and if your male escort didn't
hug you or kiss you, you considered
him rather a muff and wondered if
he didn't like you Which may be

Douglas, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE Coffee

C. E. Stewart was in Douglas much OF

purpose of abolishing the city court.
In his race for election he made
that an issue, contending that if a
petition was presented to him by a
certain number of citizens, he would
introduce the bill. 1t is said now that
Mr.. Stewart claims that so per cent.
of the citizens of Coffee county are
in favor of abolishing the city court
of Douglas, and creating four terms of
the superior court a year. 1t has not
