"BUY "A BUSHEL OF APPLES"
Appeal from the Mountain Section of
Northeast Georgia.
0 (Clayton Tribune.)

In most every paper published in
the South, both dailies and weeklies,
the request is made to buy bale Of
cotton. This is splendid move
ment, and is meeting with much sue
cess. Many Of our prominent men
and business houses, both North and
South, are buying from one bale to
thousands of bales, paying ten cents
per pound. This is helping the far
mer to hold his cotton until a normal
price can be obtained.
Now, brother editors, we are part
and parcel of the South, though we
do not grow cotton, but we do raise
apples. Rabun county, Georgia, is
dependent on the cotton States for a
market for apples, and we now have
many carloads ready to be shipped.
Will you please pass the word
around, Buy a Bushel Box of Rabun
County Apples!"

HEAD LARGE FAMILY SENT UP.
Killed Neighbor in Quarrel, Firing
Four Shots Into Back.

Lexington, Sept. 25-George Bare
foot, white man, was convicted Of
mansaughter with recommendation
to the mercy OF the court by a Lex
ington county jury to-day for the
killing Of Henry Sharpe on Sunday,
september 13, and was sentenced by
Judge Geo. E. Prince to serve a pc
riod of seven years at hard labor

Of the most unfortunate in the his

Barefoot in passing sentence. the
facts in the case were overwhelming
ly against him.

SOME GOOD RESULTS OF WAR.
Returning Americans Will Leave
Millions i'm This Country

Washington, Oct 3.-Upwards of
United States by the Americans re-
turning to this country, according to
computations at the Department of
Commerce.
TO date, it is estimated that about
90, 900 Americans are already home
from Europe or on their way. Plac-
figure of $5 day, the money which
will remain in the United States will
total $475, 900 daily. For about three
months Of the year the saving will APP
proXimate more nearly $1,000,00O
daily, as the expenditures of the
more wealthy visitors to Europe far
exceed SIS day.
1t is estimated that those who visit
Europe's health resorts annually
leave more than 100000
abroad. The expenses of Americans
travelling for pleasure approximate
$3.50, 100000 additional. Practically
all this money is expected to remain
in the United States while the war
is on.
In addition to this great sum, this
country is now importing but little
from abroad, while Europe will re-
quire great quantities of supplies Of
all kinds from the United States.
This will cause the flow OF more gold
to this country, and if the war is
prolonged, the per capita supply Of
money in the United States will
probably exceed that Of any period in
history.

CAROLINA RICE PRODUCTION.
Only One Rice Mill i'm the State.
ID. G. Hayward Largest Planter.
News and Courier, 26th.l

With the passing Of the summer
the rice harvesting season in South
Carolina has begun, and the West
Point rice plant, the only rice mill
east of Louisiana, is now daily pound
ing the grain and preparing it for
market. Several thousand sacks
have been received in the last few
days. but the rush of the season is
not expected before the latter part
Of next month.
The plant has been in daily opera
ton for about ten days past. Nor
mally its capacity is about 1000
bushels Of rice during working day
of twelve hours. In times OF pressure
the mill is operated "a hours Of
every day.
Largest Rice Planter.
An attache of the plant said yes
terday that a large shipment Of rice
was expected to arrive Monday or
Tuesday. Most of the South Caro-
lima product is grown on the Comba-
hee river, although small quantities
are cultivated on the Cooper river
near Georgetown. Former Governor
d. G. Hayward is reputed to be the
largest planter of rice in the State
Only a few days ago the local plant
received a shipment Of 1000 bags
from his farm.
Rice is milled at the Charleston
plant for about four months of each
year. The State of South Carolina
supplies the greater part OF the
amount, but from 10000 to 10000
bushels grown in Georgia are annu-
ally handled here, it is said.
The West Point Mill is the only
one Of five rice mills that were in
full operation here some 20 years ago
that is now operated. Such plants
have entirely disappeared from Gcor-
gia and North Carolina and from all
parts Of South Carolina except Char
lesion, because Of the diminution in
rice production.

that is the habit of work. You

CHURCH NOTES

By. Jno. w. Quick, Pastor

J'os - NuSh, aoeSA
Last sunda as a great day
church. We ySgan to see the
precious fruitage of our toll.
Last January the members saw
thenecessity of a new and better
house of worship Plans were
laid for the building and work
began. Last Sunday morning
found the building ready for SER
vice, and att $50 o'clock many
had assembled themselves for
worship, and a thirty minutes
song service. Sunday school at
10 o'clock was called to order by
our superintendent Brother ]. A.
Turner. There were 1O1 present
in Sunday school and 19 new
members joined. AT 1880 Sum-
day school adjourned for ten
minutes rest, after which the
congregation reassembled for
preaching service with 246 pre-
sent. We had asked God to give
us a subject for the occasion and
while the subject chosen might
not seem appropriate for the
occasion, we tried to deliver
the message God gave us, our
subject being "Sin," or sin, its
origion, purpose, power, result
and cure. This is what we pur-
pose to fight in our new quarters
is sin, not only in the low but in
high places. And we pray God
that no other motive will ever
come into this church, that this
may be a life saving station and
the spiritual birth place of many
precious souls. We thank those
who have given so generously
and worked so faithfully toward
the building of this church. All
denominations. and even those
who are members of no church
have been so good and kind to
us we can never thank them
enough. May God bless you,
each of you. May you prosper
in this life and after death have
a home with the saints in that
Mansion the Master has gone to
prepare for all who love his ap-
pearing. Will say again, Lord
bless the dear people,"

The legislature Conyenes.

The Maryland Legislature began its 1914
session on Wednesday. The Democratic
caucus nominees as officers of the two
houses were elected by party votes. Jesse
d. Price. of Wicomico county. was reelected
PRESIDENT of the Senate, and James McC.
lnppe' OF Baltimore city, was reelected
speaker OF the House. Albert j. Almoney.
OF TINS town, was reelected Chief Clerk of
the House.
Speeches which mapped out proreres-
sive roads for the Legislature to tread
were made by Mr. Price and Mr.. Trippe
when the session was opened.
The charge to see to it that the party's
pledges were kept was supplemented in
Doth speeches by an appeal for economy
IN running the Legislature and the adop-
tlon OF methods which would safeguard
fairness and speed worthy bills.
Mr.. Prices most important SUGGESTION,
probably, was that there are now too many
State bonds owned by the State itself and
which, If liquidated, could be used to de-
crease the State tax rate.
Mr.. Trippe declared also for economy
against the rapidly increasing tax rate Of
the State.
Senator Benson presented motion to
prohiDit the swearing in of Senator-elect
FRANK Z. Williams, Republican, Of Cecil
county, on the ground that the latter is n
minister of the Gospel and constitutionally
ineligible for membership in the upper
branch Of the General Assembly.
Upon vote the resolution was adopted
by vote of II TOT.
