leased. The girls were fined $1,000
and costs each and although they had
the money to pay their fines they

ing was given q heavier fine this
morning by, Mayor Bowen. Shears
claimed that he, had done nothing
but said that lie, was 81 Goal Run
Hollow at midnight on Saturday
mighty The Mayor said that this
wis enough evidence to warrant
fine as 1t was positively against the
law To be on Coal Run at that time
of night.
Two slccpers who had applied for
q nights lodging were released but
the Mayor told them that they had
better get work now us there is
plenty of it at present for every man

BIG DAY BOOK SCOOP

The Trib's an old fogy in some
respects. -
1t stuck to the mysterious John.
Jones' stuff this morning while the
Herald and Examiner came across
with Weigle's name.
The Herald was fair enough to give
The Day Book credit for finding out
that John Jones was Louis ]. Weigle.
1t was The Day Book that got Miss
Mckinney to go to Weigle's office and
identify him
Gee, but how the other papers hate
to admit to their readers that there is
such a live newspaper in Chicago as
The Day Book.
The Trib must be jealous.
The American said it knew who
John Jones" was, but didn't tell be-
cause he had been found not guilty.
Baby stuff.
The other papers traiIed.
The cold fact is that all of the other
papers played John Jones" as big
mystery for days, AND
The Day Book got busy and found
out that John Jones" was Louis ].
Weigle, and took Miss Mckinney to
his office to identify him.
MoraI-If you want to know the in
side of the live news in Chicago read
The Day Book every day.

Hot water is the best treatment for
sprain. 1t relieves the soreness and
reduces the Inflammation. Absolute
rest is necessary. After bathing the
injured part with hot water it should
be bandaged and kept damp with
witch hazel.
If the sprain is very bad this treat
ment may be used until the doctor
arrives. Always keep a bottle of
tincture of ammonia in the house to
be used in case of bruises cuts or
wounds. Wet cloth with it and APP
ply around the injured spot. 1t will
be found to be cooling and soothing,

If THE SOUTH HAD TWO POLITI-
CAL PARTIES WE WOULD
NOT BE TREATED LIKE
YELLOW DOGS,

Dear Sir: I am always glad to
read the Good Old Sheet, and am
very often much interested in the diff
ferent contributions Of your readers,
but the one which proves so interest
ing this week is the one from the pen
Of G. L. Butler.
However, let's go one better.
Suppose we had a voting population
in the South composed of Is per cent
Republicans and SIS per cent Demo
think for a moment that our South
land today would be facing Farming
bankruptcy? No, and on the con-
trary Hoke Smith, the Atlanta Jour
nal and the present administration
would force money in the South for
the relief of the farmer, as has so
often been done for the West and
Middle West, where the voting
strength is SO nearly divided that
they are required to do something to
save their own political hides.
If Hoke Smith thought that the
South would rebel and elect Hutch
ems and Mcclure to the United States
Senate, he would never shut his eyes
until sufficient money was sent South
to permit every farmer in Dixie to
warehouse his cotton and get suffi-
cient funds to pay his Indebtedness.
That is, if he possesses the infinite,
eternal and Interchangeable power as
cribed to him by his Dear Atlanta
Journal.
NOW REUBEN-You who are
suffering for lack of relief from your
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
get away from the old moss back
Democratic promises and vote for
two Progressive candidates for the
United States Senate, and show them
that you are WEARY Of prediction
Hokus Pocus Hot Wind and then you
will get some consideration in flu
ture. Stick to the old ship and
suffer, and you have only yourself to
blame. You have your chance, will
you avail yourself of your opportu-
mites?

it carefully and noting the great facts

strained to believe that there is not
another man like you in all the

AN AMERICAN POPE? NOT

My Dear Sir: [ am enclosing an

rs years studying their methods,
and unraveling their great schemes,
the like of which no mortal man can
fathom. This article to my mind is
deep laid; it is simply a feeler Or
fore-runner, not only to have an
American (by name) made Pope, but
the first plank for an American
Vatican. With an American Pope,
Italy is getting too hot for them and
America is the greatest pasture this
octopus can find. I am sure to- your
trained legal mind you can see that
it an American pope be selected,
then these great possessions of the
pope would be exempt from any in
preference from the Italian Govern
ment, at least this is the way my un-
trained mind looks at it. I am send
ing this clipping, fearing it would
not come under your eye.

prices from to 10 cent per pound,
and
Whereas, the supplies, fertilizers,
mules, etc., sold at these high time
prices have entered into the cost of
making said crop it has become the
duty of every man raising cotton to
force these people to give them IL
IL cents per pound for each pound
of middling cotton paid on these &C
counts. If they refuse, keep your
cotton at home. If they levy on
same obtain an injunction from the
Superior Court Judge in your cir
cult and this will stop the sale until
the markets of the world are again
open to this commodity.
Resolved further that we write
our legislators and Congressman urg-
ing them to have some laws enacted
as speedily as possible that will give
the cotton raisers of this State relief
in the present situation.
Resolved, further that we indorse
the buy-a-bale movement plan, also
a legislation to limit the acreage of
the 1915 crop to at least 10 acres
to the one-horse farm and tax each
acre planted in excess of that amount

THE FARMER HAS BEGUN TO
REALIZE HE HAS BEEN THE
POLITICIANS BEST BET.

Dear Sir: For years I have been
reading your literature, and have
always found that you are for the
right thing in everything, and it is
a fact that you are the only man
that the poor labOring class have to
look to for advice in their past and
future welfare. Therefore, I am
sending you some resolutions which
were adopted at q mass meeting at
White Spring School District, Lau-
rens County, Georgia, on Sept. &c,
1914, and I would like for you to
publish same in your good old JEFF
fersonian, and also would like to
know what you thought Of them. I
saw a party from Dublin, Ca, since
those resolutions we're published in
the Dublin COurier-Herald and he
said the mule dealers especially
seemed to think that these resolu-
ticns were entirely too rigid, but as
to myself I don't think so. It looks
to me like if the farmer doesn't ever
expect to ask for anything he had
better quit the drive and let the
speculatOr and money power have it
all their way. 1t seems that since
this great war broke out that this
government has protected every class
Of people on earth except the farmer,
and my judgment is, it's time the
farmer was making some arrange
meut to help himself If the farmers
let this crop of cotton go from under
them at this unusual low price, I
want to know what he expects to do
in 1915?
With best wishes for you in all
