I'VE want you to run for County
Commissioner. You're the man for
the place, and we are going to an
nounce your name tomorrow" That
was the message delivered to T. ].
Hightower, Jr.. better known as Jeff, -
by the spokesman of a committee Of
representative ci ems who called on
Mr.. Hightower several weeks ago. The
reply was: Absolutely nothing doing.
I have never been in politics, have
never held a public office of any kind
and have no aspirations to do so.
Please dismiss the matter from your
minds" That's just why we want
you as a Commissioner" argued the
committee. Despite their urging and
strong appeals, Mr.. Hightower turned
a deaf ear to the entreatieS of the COM
mittee. His friends left, feeling discour-
aged, disappointed, but determined.
They returned for recruits, and later
with reinforcements, made another at
tack on Mr.. Hightower, with the same
results as before. The committee left
again and consulted with more
friends They continued to urge upon
Mr. Hightower the necessity of d
business man, with qualifications such
as he possessed, to enter the race,
Saturday morning Mr.. Hightower
yielded to these entreat1es and gave
his friends permission to use his name
in the race. AS result of his de-
cision there was jubilation among the
committeeman Saturday, and the pub
lie announcement made to-day that
Mr. Hightower is actively in the race
will elicit much favorable comment
throughout the entire county.
There are few men in Fulton Coun-
ty who have devoted their entire life
to private affairs that have a wider

acquaintance and more friends than
does Mr.. Hightower. He is a pioneer
citizen of Atlanta, having been reared
here since he was only year old. For
twenty years he has operated a prof
table business in the city. He is
president and general manager of the
Hightower Box and Tank Company,
one of the city'S largest manufacture
ing plants. He has made the bust
ness success by strict attention
and unusually good business princi-
pies well applied.
Mr.. Hightower's home is in the
Battle Hill section-West Atlanta. In
his home community, and Atlanta at
large, he is known as one of the best.
most progressive and straightforward
citizens.
In announcing his candidacy for
County Commissioner Mr.. Hightower
does not appeal to the prejudices Of
any clan or section but to the true
business principles of the entire citi-
zenship. He has no political fences
to mend. nor none to tear down,
neither for himself nor anyone else.
He believes that the affairs of the
county should be managed on a bust
nesslike basis, Judiciously and in per-
feet fairness to every section.
Mr. Hightower states that he will
favor a lower taxation. provided the
reduction would not interfere with
the proper administration of the af-
fairs of the county, or deter any pro-
gressive movements that might be
planned.
Mr.. Hightower's friends are conf
dent that they have put the proper
man in the field one that is entirely
free to act for all the people, and
that not only their friends, but those
who desire to see everybody given
justice for their tax returns, will be
solidly behind their man.--Advt.

RAGAN MALONE
FIRM Settled
IN NEW HOME
Five Floors and Basement Now
Occupied on South Pryor.
Everything Up to Date.

Inc Ragan- Malone Company is no"
conveniently settled in its new home
at Nos 1924 South Pryor street. The
management studied the arrangement
of stock in the stores of the bigger
cities before putting in their own
large supplies which occupy FIVE
floors and basement. The company
has had installed a private telephone
system and on the third floor there is
a writing room for the convenience
of the women customers.
On the first floor are the main
business offices, occupied by W. e.
Raglan. the president; H. K. Gala
way, vice president and c. r. Barn
well, secretary. In the rear of these
are the offices of the travelling sales
men. The rest of the floor is devoted
to dress goods, linens, silks and white
goods
On the second floor are to be found
an extensive line of hosiery mems
and women's furnishings and notions.
The office of W. C. Barnwell, the no.
ton buyer, is on this floor
Attractive Sample Room.
The company prides itself on the
attractiveness OF its sample room on
the third floor the woodwork of
which is white. Here is to be found
display Of dry goods, notions and fur
nishings. The rest of the floor is de-
voted to the stock of laces, embroid
cries, ribbons, handkerchiefs, ladies'
neckwear and corsets. This floor was
arranged after the original ideas of
Mr.. Barnwell.
The lines of Royal" and Regal"
Numbered shirts and Everlasting"
and Bully Goods" brands of work
shirts, ladies' and children's waists,
dresses and shirts, and mems and Ia
dies underwear and raincoats are
carried on the fourth floor
The fifth floor is devoted exclu-
sively to print goods, such as per-
Gales, prints, shirtings, ginghams,
cheviots, chambrays and bleached
cotton.
The basement is used for ware
house purposes, except for sales
rooms for staple goods, such as dem
am. tickings and other heavy do
mestics.
Originality in Show Cases.
Mr.. Barnweil's original ideas have
already been carried out in the mat
ter of show cases. Those for the deli
cate ribbons and embroideries, likely
to be easily ruined by dirt, are made
to order fran mahoganized birch and
are constructed so that all the goods
are in full view of the customer The
counter space on one side of the third
floor is occupied by these cases, num-
bering 26. The stock is thus protect
ed from dust.
What is perhaps the largest ribbon
show case ever constructed in the
| South occupies the other side of the
| third floor. 1t Is nearly 100 feet long
and feet high. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Barnwell to make the third floor
the prettiest to be found In any job
bling house south of Washington.
Besides the enormous stock dis
| played, there is almost as much again
! held in reserve. The old store is still
used for storeroom

KEEPING SOIL FROM BLOWING
Humus From Land BY continu-
ous Cropping With Grain.

In many areas the lands OF the west
ern states are giving much trouble
to those who till them. because of the
lifting of the soil With the kind. This
condition results from the removal OF
the humus from the land in conae-
quence Of continued cropping with
grain from year to year. Because OF
this condition the crops in many ina
stances fail because of the removal
Of the covering through the force Of
the wind. OF course the first aim
should be on the part of those who
work such lands to destore the humus.
says the Denver Field and Farm. This
Is brought about by sowing grass or
alfalfa, the roots OF which will bind
the SOIL But in practice the farmer
cannot lay down all the blowing soil
that he may have in a single year. He
should manage to get the part not un-
der control into grass.
Certain principles apply to the ham
ding of these blowing lands. First.
they should not be summer-fallowed in
the ordinary way. To summer-fallow
them, the more that they are worked
the more they will blow. They may be
managed by blowing as late as pos
sible but before the maturing Of any
weed seeds. Let grain be sown on,
such land at once, preferably mix
ture of grains to be pastured. The
soil will not blow thus managed. The
roots of the grain plants remain UNI
til spring.
When grain is drilled in amid those
roots the following spring the soil will
not blow. Another plan is to drill in
a peck Of milo maize or kafr. The
harrow may still be uced to keep the
| field clean.
! There may be scne objections to
handling the land thus, but they will
not outweigh the advantages that
come from disking rather than pow
ing. When winter grains are sown
it may answer sometimes to drill them
in amid the stubble in the early au-
tumn without disking or blowing.
This may answer quite well when
weeds are not numerously present
"Hiu eAc StuupiC. II hah gram - AnA :
rowed after it is up to retain moisture
this should be done with great eau
ton. If narrowed just when the grain
is beginning to appear this should be
done only after rain and when the
ground is dry enough to produce large
granules when narrowed. But such
soil may be safely narrowed when the
grain is several inches high. Indis-
Greet narrowing may do great damage
to crops on such soils.
