all courage and hope we pledge them

the system to include city board
members. These are successful
business men with large interests at
stake. We have never doubted
their sincerely Of purpose. What they
got in education doubtless came as
ours did,-in the hard knocks of life.
A successful business man is com

and tenants to abandon the cotton to

The cotton crop is a month behind.
Carefully figured, that would mean
that the weevil fight should last till
the middle of August or thereabout.
That is nearly thirty days ahead.
The fight should never be given up
this early in the season. Every tenant
should be pressed into service and
the dead squares gathered with
great faithfulness and regularity.
In one Mans plantation last year
two tenants had equal acreage in
cotton less than five miles from Cor

THE PRICES OF BEEF

The packing houses in south Geor-
gia bought beef on foot all the past
week at eleven cents pound, approx
mately. They sold it to the retailers
at fourteen cents pound. In the local
market the cheapest price on beef to
the consumer was thirty cents a
pound. The highest was thirty-five
cents a pound The packers delivered
the meat at fourteen cents. No por-
ton of it, according to figures, sold
for less than thirty cents a pound.
This is a little bit of history of
meat operations,-just one week. 1t
is not fair to any interest to try to
block the way to legitimate profits If
