Tuesday, November %, Of P. C. Tenn
pile: ... -.
The entire section of the county,
near Level Land was shocked Tues
day to learn of the sudden death of
P. C. Temple, a well known farm
er. Mr.. Temple arose early in the
morning as usual, apparently feeling
good, and was on his way to Due
West when he was stricken.
He was a son of the late Benjamin
Temple, born May 1s, 1851 in Hart
County, Ga, whore he spent most of
his life. He was married in 1879 to
Miss Alice Palmira Dellinger of Dom
aids.
A good husband and father, he
will be greatly missed not only by
his family but by the entire commu-
nifty. He delighted in doing acts OF
kindness for others, especially for
the sick and distressed. SIS.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by two sisters Mrs. Amos Walters,
Mrs. Bob Craft of Lavonia, Ga, and
the following children: Messrs. D.
B., J. K, ]. B. and B. S. Temple, OF
Level Land; Mrs. Riley Cordell OF

defects which must e.. be remedied; /;
any system will have that. Of course
too there will be men put at the head
of the enterprise who may make mis-
takes. All men make mistakes. We
do not think that many dishonest
men will be placed at the head Of the
marketing association for cotton,
nor of any other product, because if
these men are selected by the cotton
growers, or their representative men
there is no reason why dishonest
men should be selected. If such are
Selected they will be turned out. But
no such men, so far as we have heard
have been employed by other mar
keting associations, and they may as
easily be-. employed by these as by
the cotton marketing association.
OF course they will have large
amounts of money to handle and
there will be times when they can
sell out. or use their position for
their own advantage. That is true of
the head of the cotton mill, the head
of the bank, and of the heads of a
great many other enterprises, but
few men in these positions prove un-
faithful to,the great trust committed
to them.
These are, as We say, some Of the
objections to the whole scheme of
cooperative marketing, whether the
scheme now outlined or some other.
The objections have their force and
should be considered when men are
being named to handle the selling
of the cotton grown by the members
to the end that no dishonest men be
allowed to have places on the selling
boards.
The only thing we know which
might really make the scheme q
failure is to allow a politician here
and there to use it to help him in
political matters. The. constitution
should provide that no man who
has ever held office, or VINO expects
to run for Office shall hold any posi-
ton of trust with the organization.
If we can keep the politicians out we
shall succeed, We think. RI.

QUARANTINE ON COTTON
Puts Up Bars Against
Roll Worm.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 2S.-A
quarantine against the shipment Of
cotton from Texas, Oklahoma and
New Mexico has been put in effect
by the shipment of Agriculture, ef-
by department of Agriculture, ef-
and cotton seed into Louisville.
Cotton can be moved through
Louisiana on a through bill Of lad
ing, and it can be shipped through
New Orleans on an export bill of
lading, but cannot be shipped on a
local bill of, lading. This quarantine
was made effective because of the
appearance of the boil worm in Ellis
and Grey Counties, Texas, accord
ing to w. E Anderson, entomologist
of the Department of Agriculture,
and the appearance of the worm in
New Mexico.

MORE SMALL GRAIN. :

Lately we have had occasion to
nav visits to Mccormick and Ander-
son. The trips through the country
have shown field after field on eve
sry farm between Abbeville and the
other two county seats planted in
small grain, for the most part in
oats. The merchants tell us that it
has been hard to keep in seed, oats
and that there has been big de-
mand for wheat for planting pur-
poses. Every farmer knows that the
negroes on the farms have been COM
ing in for several weeks seeking seed
grain for the farms.
All Of this shows that the old
horses and mules on the farms are
going to have better times, and right
well do they deserve better treatment
than they have had in many cases.
It shows too that we are learning our
lesson. The fight against the boil wee
vii has commenced as has the fight
against the one crop system. Hereto
fore the big drawback against plant
ing other crops than cotton has been
that the negro tenants would not
work corn nor plant grain. But the
average negro is learning this year
that but for the little corn he raised
on his farm, and the hill Of potatoes
and the barrel of rnolasses, that he
would be hungry just now. In many
places he has learned that cotton +;
now a delus:on 50 far as getting
something te-eat is concerned, and
while the process may be slow, every
negro farmer is going to learn that
he must plant and grow food crops.
We hope that we may continue to be
able to make cotton under boil wee
vii conditions, but if the conditions
are such that only a small amount
may be planted on each farm and
that food crops must be grown and
gathered it may be after all that a
great calamity has not come to US.
At any rate the acres of oats, rye
and wheat we see planted warns US,
and it should warn the merchants,
that people will gradually quit farm
ing with the store in town as the base
of supplies, and that in the fullness
of time, Gust how that will be we
do not know,) the farms are going
to be self-supporting.

BIG FIRE DAMAGE
Fitzgerald, Ca, Suffers Loss of
$500, 900.

Fitzgerald, Ca, Suffers Loss of
$4,000
Fitzgerald, Ca, Nov. 29.-One-
half of the one hundred block in the
main business section Of Fitzgerald
was practically wiped out by fire
early this morning entailing a loss
of about 100000 with small insur-
ance.
At $50 fremen were still fight
ing the flames but had them well un-
der control. In response to calls for
assistance companies had arrived
from Douglas, Ocilla, Tifton and
Cordele. For several hours both tele-
phone and telegraph communication
was destroyed. The telegraph COM
munication has been restored, but
the telephones are still out of COM
mission.
The fire broke out in a building
occupied by H. A. Burkhart as a gar
age and automobile sales room and
spread rapidly. Thirteen new auto
mobiles were destroyed in the build
ing. The second building to go was
that adjoining and used also by Mr..
Burkhart in connection with his au-
tomobile business.
The building occupied by the John
son Hardware Company was the
third to 90. This was used as stor-
age warehouse. The fourth building
to be consumed was that owned by
Mrs. H. K. Sigh. The lower floor
was used as a garage and for the
storage Of automobiles while the up
per floor was an apartment house
and well tenanted. Many of the ten
ants were forced to flee to safety in
their night clothes. y

THE MARKETING ASSOCIATION

In a few weeks the work of orga-
nizing the marketing association for
cotton will be commenced in this
county. People are already discuss
ing the matter, and the manner of
doing business is being investi-
gated. The chief objection to the
scheme as We have heard it is that
the cotton grower must sign up for
five years and that he has no control
over the marketing of his cotton,
cannot say when to sell nor when to
hold.
Now that objection is not an OBJ
lection, if You stop to think, to the
scheme now outlined, it is an objec-
tion to cooperative marketing under
any scheme. Because there can be
no cooperation if every man claims
the right to handle his own business
as he sees fit; to sell when he sees
fit and hold when he sees fit. That is
a self-evident fact. The question
then is does cooperative marketing
under any system pay? The answer
is that it has always paid. The fruit
growers in Georgia raised peaches
and shipped them North for years
only to pay the freight and then
stand the loss. After so long the
fruit-growers organized a marketing
association and peach-growing in
Georgia is now.one of the best-pay-
ing industries in. the state. The same
is true Of the melon!growers, Of the
truck growers, and of the growers
of other things. All these associa-
tions had members to sign up for
longer terms than five years.
of course the system will have its

DAVIDSON FIRE
Chambers Dormitory Destroyed
Monday Morning BY Fire.


Monday Morning By Fire.
!. Charlotte, N. c., Nov. 2S.-The
historic Chambers building at
Davidson College, used as a dormi-
tory in which one hundred and thir-
ty pupils are living during the pres
ent college term, was burned this
morning, the Sre being discovered in
the cupola at S o'clock. The struc-
ture was total loss;> but students
succeeded in saving the Gseater part
of their personal effects. :.
The Chambers building was erect
ed in 1887.
It was the dormitory in which
former President Woodrow Wilson
lived while a student at Davidson.
College authorities announced
that there would be no interruption
of class duties, the students being
taken care of in the town of David
son.
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.
Authorities at the college estimate
that it will require $250,000 to re-
place the building. Insurance on the
destroyed dormitory was given at
100000.

AUGUSTA PLANS
May Build New Hotel At An
Early Date.

Early Date.
Augusta, Ca, Nov. 2S.-Augusta
went to work grimly today to clear
away the fire ruins that are spread
over the sidewalk and part of the
street on half of the 700 block of
Broad and the entire 200 block of
Jackson street.
The city's busiest corner is par
tally buried beneath a mountain of
brick, but large gang of wofkmen
are alreday on the scene in an effort
to make the street tidy for Christ
mas. A board wall will probably be
built around the ruins to hide the
ugly scar.
The estimate of property owners
of a total loss in Saturday mornings
fire of 1881, 900 is regarded by in
surance and business men as slightly
exaggerated. The conservative esti-
mate of the loss is $1,500,O00, al
though Chief Fireman Reynolds
does not believe the damage will ex-
ceed one million dollars.
A prominent Augusta capitalist,
who asked that his name not be used,
states that he has made the owner of
the property on the corner of Jack
son and Broad an offer, and if it is
accepted a modern commercial hotel
will be erected there at once.

Tomorrow and Friday and Saturday

''The Blot" to be Shown at Matinee
Tomorrow and Friday and Saturday |
There is motion picture on eXhi- |
bition here this week called The Blot,
which is worth seeing from one stand
point at least. Without concerning
ourselves with its merits as a picture,
we believe we are justified in COM
mending it to the attention of the
thinking persons of the community
because it so vividly depicts a condi-
ton which is either directly or indi-
rectly vital in the lives of every one
of us-more particularly, it might be
said, in the lives of our children.
"The Blot" tells the story of vicissi
tudes of the family of an underpaid
teacher. 1t might be said that "The
Blot" tells the story of the vicissitudes
of the family of a teacher, since it is
taken for granted everywhere that all
teachers are underpaid. Statisticians
who have interested themselves in the
subject are said to have discovered the
astounding condition that assistant
professors in our big colleges often
make less actual cash per week than
a waiter in a fashionable restaurant.
1t has often been said that the news
paper profession is badly underpaid,
but compared with the returns from
teaching or preaching the gospel, its
salaries are princely.
This particular motion picture pre-
sents the story and perhaps somewhat
Exaggerated spectacle of mother
about to become a thief to provide
food and clothing for her children, be-
cause of this wretched social condition
1t is quite likely that none of the
teachers or preachers of your ac'
quaintance or ours ever is forced to thu
verge of actual dishonesty, but it quit
likely also that they suffer privationi
that their friends and even their rela
tives would not believe if they wer
told. Prices are coming down, bu
since the salaries of teachers ant
preachers have never gone up, eXcep
in a few isolated instances, it is diff
cult to see how they are much bette
off now than they have been, sire
probably the only advantage that vii
accrue from the new prices is to per
NIT them to begin paying back tn
debts they incurred in paying the oil
ones.

ers is indeed blot upon our body sc

CAESAR RODNEY STATUE
1t is Expected to be Ready to be Dedi'
Gated Next Fourth of July

The Caesar Rodney memorial COM
mittee has been notified that the model
for equestrian statue of Rodney has
been completed by the sculptur, James
E. Kelly, of New York, and will be de-
livered to the bronze founders this
week. The work of making the cast
ings will require about two months, it
is estimated, but as the models for the
two panels in relief have not yet been
made. it is not likely that they will be
completed and cast until later. This
progress will make it certain, however
that the memorial will be ready for
dedication by the Fourth of July,
which is. considered an appropriate
date. It has not yet been decided
whether to place the statue in position
before the tablets are ready, rather
than let it stand in the foundry store
room, but this matter will be taken up
in due course.
