The Chamber of Commerce is ex-
.ording its canvass for membership
n all parts OF the county. Wednes-
dow Secretary Morgan, accompanied
Nv Mr.. W. R. Wall, visited Sasser,
ond assisted by DR.. o. G.. Crawford a
rice list of members were secured.
There is a very pronounced sentiment
Of Sasser in favor of the countrywide
cooperative effort. One man at Sas-
cor discussing chamber of commerce
work and the good that it does, said:
Il notice that the cities and coun-
ties which are making the greatest
progress are united in chamber of
commerce. effort, and that when
chamber of commerce is once estab-
Hshed that it grows stronger and
more useful all the time. 1t is my
opinion that Terrell county must
mite the efforts of the inhabitants
if the greatest results are expected
Brentwood Interested.
Mr., Morgan and Mr.. H. A. Petty
we're in Brentwood Thursday in the
interest of the chamber, and met
with a most hearty response on the
mart of the citizens in that part of
the county. The indications are that
it will be but a short time until the
membership of the chamber will be
more than five hundred.
Some of the work that the secre-
tary is doing is significant of what
can be done. He has written strong
letter. which appeared in the Atlanta
journal Wednesday, showing clearly
the unfairness of the recent meat in
spection ordinance passed in that
city that will operate against the
small shipper of dressed meats. This
article takes the position that the
Atlanta ordinance should be amend
ed so that those benefited will pay
the price of meat inspection or that
it should be repealed entirely.
In addition to conserving the in
Lerests of the farmer and business
men of this part of the country by
opposing those things which operate
against their interest the secretary
has been busy looking into market
possibilities for anything that may
be grown in this part of the state.
A large packing concern Of the
North has signifed its intention of
being in the market for large guam
titles CT table beets, and in a letter
to Mr.. Morgan the purchasing agent
of that concern says:
From Manufacturing Firm.
We have been procuring beets
from around Chicago, ILL.,, and Green
Bay, Wis Same are of very good
quality and have cost us from $500
to $1,000 per ton, f. 0. b. point Of
shipment. The crop does not move,
however, until fall and we would be
particularly interested in the South
ern crop, which would be ready for
harvesting the latter part of April.
mere is little doubt but that we can
handle several carloads each year If
the quality of the beet proves to be
up TO our standard and the freight
rate is not prohibitive We are OBJ
tanning freight rates and will be in
position later to advise you just what
We could afford to pay f. 0. b. your
SAlppng point. In the meantime If
you can procure say one barrel OF
the oeets to be representative of the
crop That we could procure for ship
ment the latter part of April we
would like very much to receive the
same as sample. We desire these
Oeets to be in the neighborhood of
TWO inches in diameter if possible,
although do not sort them for this
SIZE but let them come in the sizes
'ney are harvested.
