REPORT OF SALES
Week Ending July::20th Fair
mont Tobacco Market
E. J. DAVIS & SONS

This has been the best week ever
in the history of our market, in point
of high prices, and quantity of to-
bacco sold. The largest sale for this
week came on Thursday-over IA
million pounds sold. Not a dissatis-
fled customer. The only comments,
"Will your buyers keep on paying
these prices? ?"
Of course this is hard question
to answer, but we confidently expect
to see them continue right on as all
the large companies are buying heavy
and our market has made ample ar
rangements to handle at least 10
million pounds and this amount is
more tobacco than Robson county
will produce. So you need have no
fears in coming to Fairmont, with
the three large warehouses and am
pie space to handle 1-2 million pounds
a day, together with all our buyers
and their we'll organized forces in
handling their purchases. So we say
to the good farmers, Why take any
chances on selling your tobacco as
you have your choice of the best,
without any extra cost. In fact, our

can honestly and practice strict econ.
omy.
In some way prices have continued
to advance ever since the opening
sale, and prices for this week ra1
mainly from II to "a cents. It is very
sorry trashy stuff that sells unde1
II cents, and more tobacco selling
from 25 to % cents than you eve1
saw. Don't throw away any of you7
scrap and handle your tobacco nice

want to be treated right and get tn
very top prices on all this crop.

RED CROSS UNDER
NO One CHURCH
WHAT SERVICE CAN / GIVE TO
MY COUNTRY is ITS ONLY
SLOGAN.

Editor of The News In this time
of stress and strain when the world
looks upon the Red Cross as "a thing
of love binding mankind together
1T is inconceivable that any one
should take up time arguing about
creeds in connection with the work,
and yet right here in our own coun-
ty there has developed a spirit of
antagonism with the result of very
active efforts in certain quarters
against the local organization, all be-
cause it is thought by some to be
under the control of the Catholic
church. Isn't is about time that the
good people of Terrell county were
realizing that all that is dearest and
finest in the life of the nation is in
jeopardy unless we rise above petty
differences into a realm of nobler
and more unselfish living? There is
something greater than creeds, and
all true patriots will rise above the
narrow confines of such bigotry.
1t seems so absurd in an enlight-
ened community like this to have to
explain that the Red Cross is world
wide in it's activities and under its
blessed banner all churches and peo-
pies are united with the one pur-
pose of relieving suffering humanity.
The one question for all who are
worthy to breathe the air of this
Gland of the free" is this, what SER
vice can l give my country?"

bright and attractive with electric
lights, the garden flowers growing in

the fight this year, and less favorable
seasons would cause them consider
able loss.
Mr.. R. M. Gridley, of the state col
lege, made an interesting speech on
the cow as one of the means of feed
ing the nation.
Miss Long, the home demonstration
agent of Sumter county, was one of
the most interesting speakers of the
meeting. She appealed to the women
present to do their bit in aiding the
nation and European allies in their
fight against Germany, and urged
the cutting out of waste and extrava-
gance in providing the family meals
as one of the best methods.
The meeting was presided over by
Judge M. G. Edwards, and his an
nouncement that a sumptuous dinner
prepared by the people of the COM
munity was awaiting the crowd was
one of the most welcome and inter
esting of all the talks. To say that
it was typical Terrell county din
ner and enough to feed the vast
crowd is praise enough.
All unite in saying that it was one
of the best attended and most inter
esting agricultural meetings ever
held in the county.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
WAS WELL ATTENDED
LARGE CROWD ENJOY SPLENDID
SPEECHES AS WELL AS A
sUMPTUOUS SPREAD.

A crowd, estimated by some to be
more than a thousand, were present
at the Farmers Institute and barbe-
cue, which was held at the Yeomans
school house on Tuesday.
The meeting was locally arranged
by County Agent Allen, and was held
under the auspices of the national
food conservation department and
the state college of agriculture for
the purpose of discussing the food
problem facing the nation in the
world war crisis.
Mr.. John McGahee, former Terrell
county citizen who is now a practical
farmer of Early county, was the first
speaker, and told farmers his method
of cultivation and harvesting pea
nuts, and the peanuts possibilities
as a money crop to supersede cotton,
or to divide honors with cotton in
the plan of diversified farming. His
talk was practical and helpful.
Prof. W. o. Collins, of the state
college of agriculture, spoke on food
conservation and the necessity of in
creasing the food supply in the Unit
ed States, particularly throughout
the South.
Mr.. C. B. boil WeeviD Burley fol-
lowed along the lines of Mr.. Collins,
and urged fall gardens, fall grazing
crops and the advisability of blowing
under cotton stalks early in Septem-
Der for soil improvement and to aid
the fight against the boil weevil. Mr..
Burley complimented the farmers of
Terrell county on their successful
fight against the boil weevil this year,
and said they had the best cotton
and other crops he had seen in the
state, but he warned them not to let
their success fool them into larger
cotton acreage another year, because
they have had ideal seasons to make
