STANDARD COMPANY
SELLING SHOE STOCK
Standard Mercantile Co., to Close Out
Thousands of Pairs of Shoes at
a Sacrifice to Get Ready
For New Business

First National Bank old corner,
store No. 2, all men, women and
children who expect to wear shoes this
winter, in Cobb county, and as rule
they all do. In the very face of the
highest prices of shoes, hides and lea
Their that the world has ever seen,
this firm, instead of marking dollars
on their shoes, to meet the new prices,
have marked dollars off to clear out
all their shoes.
AS this firm has only been in bust
ness a very short time, there is in
fact, not an old pair of shoes in their
house.
The values thus offered and the
money saved to thousands of con-
sumers is truly refreshing, for almost
every one in any kind of business is
daily marking up goods, and up every
day and week, until it seems that
they will go out of reach. The Stan
dard has made fiat cut of one fourth
off all shoes. Just think what it
means to be able to get $500 shoe
for $500 when everyone is expect
ing to pay about $3.50 for the same
shoes very soon? Isn't it delightfully."-
grand to be able to get pair of shoes
out of a SIS bill and have nice sum
left over, tell you it is.-Adv.

SWEET POTATO
STORAGE HOUSES

By the use of the right kind of
sweet potato storage houses farmers
and decay of less than one per cent.
the winter with loss from freezing
can keep their sweet potatoes through
Since potatoes always sell for a bet
ter price in the late winter and spring
months than they do in the fall, it
will pay farmers who are growing
potatoes for the market to build cur
ing houses. They have been used
in South Georgia and in some parts
of North Keorgia for the last two
years, and in almost every instance
the Larger per centage of potatoes
kept through the winter an dthe in
crease in price obtained by selling in
the spring have paid for the building
of the house the first year.
When sweet potatoes are properly
cured in a curing house they will
stand shipping much better and can
be shipped in cold winter weather
when potatoes that are put up in an
ordinary bank cannot be moved. This
gives the farmer with the curing
house the advantage over other far
mers, for he can sell his potatoes at
fancy price during the freezing win
ter weather.
When a curing house is used it is
not necessary to be digging potatoes
in the hot summer weather in order
to get them on the market early.
Instead they are allowed to stay in
the ground until thoroughly mature,
which is usually about the time the
first frost falls. Then they are all
dug, put in the house, cured, and
slowed away for the winter.
Bulletins on curing sweet pota-
toes and plans for building sweet po-
tato curing houses can be obtained
from your county agent. If you are
interested get the plans now and
build while there is not so much work
to be done on the farm.

FORMER JUDGE MERRILL
DISCUSSES RAILROAD STRIKE

Editor Constitution: All of the
different divisions, sections or classes
of the citizens of the country are de-
pendent upon one another. Each gets
the benefit of the work of all of the
others. Our complex civilization
makes this broadly true. The farmer
gets the benefit of the railroad mans
work in providing transportation for
himself and for his produce; the rail-
road man gets the benefit of the far
mer's work in raising food on which
he subsists.
Now, because the railroad man,
while trying to increase his income,
instead of adopting methods in keep
ing with organized society, quits his
work and thereby makes Transports
ton for the farmer and the farmers
produce impossible, suppose the far
mer during the strike refuses to sell
the railroad striker food?
For the same reason, suppose the
physician refuses to attend the stri-
ker when sick? Or the merchant to
sell the striker groceries, clothes and
other goods? Or the lawyer to serve
the striker in his line?
The striker during the strike has
ceased to function as a part of the
body polite generally goes further
and sees to it that nobody else func-
tons in his place. Why should he
expect to draw his share of the bene-
fits of organized society during the
strike?
The labor unions, particularly
those operating the railroads, have
grown more persistent and more de-
FAINT of law by leaps and bounds of
late (see resolutions passed at At
lantic City recently;) they have re-
spected no other appeal; listened to
no other argument. Suppose the bal
ance of the people gave them an OPP
portunity to learn by experience what
it means to be cut off from part or
all of the benefits of society, that
they may thereby be induced to use
methods used by other people for OBJ
tanning their ends, and while at it
, continue to do their duty by the pub
lie if they wish to get the reciprocal
benefits from the public?
When men declare themselves out
side the law, why not take them at
their word?

ASKING QUESTIONS.

A newspaper in southern Iowa wants
to know how many school teachers can
name of-hand the cOngressmsn from
Iowa?
1t Is remindful of an earlier day
when the schoolteacher was the legal
prey OF the neighborhood. In those
times the school teacher was assumed
to be able to answer any question Or
do" any Sum" propounded by the
neighborhood solons. The children
entered into the game with pleasure
and alacrity and carried to school one
catch question and another in the hope
Of stamping the teacher" 1t was up
to the teacher to get by as best he
could. If he failed he lost prestige.
He had been "stumped." He wasn't a.
smart as he should be.
