AMERICAN WORKERS
ENJOY PROSPERITY
Wage Farmers IN This Country in
Better Condition Than in
Peak Period of 1920

NEW YORK, August 9.-Ameri-
can wage-earners are now enjoying
a period Of prosperity, greater even
than the so-called peak period" of
1920, according to statement is
sued by the National Indsutrial
Conference Board, which recently
concluded a research into wages
and the cost Of living.
Asserting that 1920 "need no
longer be considered the most re-
cent high-water mark for workers
in industry" the investigators point
out that many plants have an
nounced increases of 10 to Is per
cent.
at is true" the report continues,
chat wages We're at their highest
levels in 1920, but the cost Of liv-
ing was also high at that time"
Later, the investigators find, the
cost of living declined more rapid
ly than earnings, and in 1922 wag-
es again began to rise, "frst as a
result of longer hours worked and
later because Of wage increases"
The report, based on a study of
conditions in plants employing
100000 workers, estimates the
comparative excess of rising wages
over rising living costs as between
II and 10 per cent greater in May,
1923, than in June, 1920, using
July, 1914-the last pre-war
month-as a working basis.
"The wage-earner was better off
in May, 1923, than during the
peak months Of 1920" it observes
in conclusion. wages in May were
fast approaching the peak levels
while the cost of living was con-
siderably below the peak and in
consequence real earnings rose
well above the former peak fig
ures. y

CITY ELECTION &c
HELD IN 81 ,AKELY

BLAKELY, Aug. 9.-The annu-
al city election just held resulted in
the reelection of J. 0. Bridge and
R. |. Singletary for two years
terms as city couneilmen.
An opposition ticket bearing the
names of Grady Halman and C. D.
Duke appeared in the field shortly
after noon and created a rifle of
interest, causing one hundred votes
to be polled when only a nominal
vote was anticipated. The vote
counted out as follows: Singletary
70, Bridges 90, Halman 80 and
Duke 26.
The mayors election does not
occur until 1924.

crop. He also stated that the eX-
penses of the farm could be resliz-
ed from these spring crops, thus
making the fall harvest money
clear
]. D. Weaver, recently elected
president of the Georgia Farmers
Union related some facts incident
to tobacco raising in the lower
counties ne had visited and the
large prices received for the weed
there. he also warned the peo-
pie of this county against the
over cultivation of cotton with no
thought of other crops. He stated
that Terrell county as a whole is
indifferent to the peril that is faced
in persisting in an attempt to raise
cotton profitably against the odds
of the boil weevil, incessant rains
and the high price of arsenate, say
ing that the Farmers Union was
conducting an educational campaign
throughout the South and advocat-
ing the growing Of more than one
money crop. He suggested that
some movement be started to pro
cure a county farm agent here to
aid the farmers in the daily prob
lens that face them.
Mrs. w. H. Gurr made a talk in
behalf of the work being done
by the women of the county, and
explained the four-year program of
work for women and girls. Mrs.
Gurr made an earnest appeal for
the screening Of every farm house,
stating that in order to accomplish
anything a person must be physical
Iy we'll. She further asked the
farmers to raise more vegetables
and told Of the success being made
by the girls in tomato raising. In
closing Mrs. Gurr stated that she
was heartily in favor Of the "cow,
hog and hen" idea in order to keep
ready money on the farm.
A committee was appointed to
see about future hog sales and that
the sales be held when the farm
ers will receive the highest prices
for their porkers.
The meeting, while not largely
attended. Is merely the beginning of
similar gatherings in the countv,
and far-sighted. conservative citi-
zens will soon realize that the coun-
tv must awake to the one thing
that is liable to prove its ruin.
namely: the over cultivation of
cotton and indifference tn crops
that, with less expense, viii pay
more money into the pockets of
Terrell farmers.

TERRELL FARMERS To

Enthusiastic Meeting Held at
Dawson and Problems Are
Discussed
TO PLANT STRAWBERRIES
PolI of Farmers Present Show
1873 Acres to Be Planted to
These During 1928

DAWSON, August AT an i'm
portant meeting of Terrell county
farmers, held in the court house,
extensive plans for diversifying the
crops in this section were propos-
ed.
DIR. ]. G. Dean, who was chair
man of the meeting, stated that
the county now must face the stu
alton that imperils its squarely ana
make an attempt to discard the
practice of over cultivation of COT
ton.
The first crop discussed was the
growing of strawberries and the
question of enough acreage in this
luscious fruit to insure shipments
in carload lots, thus making certain
ready sale and eliminating the ex-
ira trouble and additional expense
of carrying the berries to nearby
towns to sell in small quantities.
J. w. Bridges, who has planted
strawberries for two years, said
that a conservative estimate of the
yield will run from 800 to 5000
an acre, and, while they must be
cultivated and fortified, that with
ordinary weather shipments can be
made from January 10 until June.
j. f. Cushenberry, who has agi-
tated and worked for an addition
al acreage in strawberries for years,
stated that if enough acreage is
planted buyer will be placed here
by large eastern firms, and dispos-
ing of the crop will be minor
consideration.
A poll was taken Of the crowd
present to see just how many
would agree to plant the ensuing
season, and 1873 acres were prom
ised with the proviso that enough
acreage be subscribed to insure sale
in large quantities.
A committee was appointed, con-
sisting of J. c. Hollingsworth, j. E.
Cushenberry, /. W. Haddock j. S.
Jones, Ed Brim. J. W. Bridges and
several others to be named later,
TO make survey and see just how
many in the coutny would be will
ing to plant berries the coming
year.
DIR. Dean told of the profits reap
ed from his asparagus field, and
many questions wer asked about the
cultivation and marketing of this

NEGRO EXODUS SLOWS
DOWN NEAR MOULTRIE

MOULTRIE, Aug. 9.-With the
approach of the cotton picking sea-
son the exodus of negroes from
Moultrie and nearby towns is slow
ing up according to ticket agents
and negro preachers, who keep a
line on the situation.
Small parties, however, are leav-
ing every day or SO. The pastor
of one of the negro churches here
states that he has lost nearly 200
members of his congregation since
