Last days of school with enter
tainments have been of such high or
der and such pleasant times we feel
like having them over again. We
were compelled to miss the doings
in the day time, but understand that
one of abe largest crowds and big
gest dinners ever served in the
neighborhood, were head liners.
Fred Radcliff and George Fox got
enough to eat, so you can judge for
yourselves as to the quantity of the
feast. With the crowd in the even
ing it was evident that we need a
community building. Allow us to
say we will never have it though if
we wait till all interested find a To-
cation and type of building that just
suits. While we would like to have
it close to us-so we could reach it
easily in so or 60 years, when we
begin to age little, we are ready to
say anywhere, and boost for a bet
ter community and manhood and
womanhood in the neighborhood.
Harley Lawrence has sold his
farm and equipment to Perley Gill

possession is to be given May L. Mr..
Lawrence is undecided as to loca-
ton.
Don't forget Bristol grange is
needing your presence this Saturday
evening. The business will be fin
ished as quickly as possible, and the
lecture hour with good program
will follow.
While we hope that none Of our
folks will ever have to become
wards of the county, yet we always
have been interested in the county
homes. While we have no doubt
these institutions are costing too
family expenses are, we are not con-
vinced that it's the right thing to
close them. If the children are TAX
en- out of the county, many parents
and children would be separated for
even a visit. We wash ours in tub
and would much rather have them
washed in that way than separated
from them. Too many times these
fine equipments are for the benefit
of superintendent and SO on, rath-
er than the children.

DETERIORATION PULLS
DOWN COTTON'S YIELD

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Henry
Clews & Co., bankers, in their
weekly market letter for the cur
rent week say that the crop report
of the past week, showing total
estimated value in principal prod
ucts of approximately $7,160,000,-
600, is not as good as had been
hoped by some early in the season
due in part to the deterioration of
cotton which pulled down the value
of that product considerably, but
it is a very good average return,
the estimated worth of the cereals
being particularly good in view of
the fears expressed earlier in the
season.
AS a result there is abundance
of reason for expecting a broad
buying power in the farming re-
autumn, and strengthening of
distribution of products during the
autumn and a strengthening of buy
ing power in the farming re-
eions even beyond that which is
now evident. Continuance of the
very high loadings on almost all
roads seems to confirm the con-
fidence that has been expressed in
the general prospect for good rail
road earnings during the next three
months.
Denial of most of the dividend
increase rumors that had been in
circulation is to be regarded as an
indication of stability, rather
than the reverse, since the roads
are for the most part likely to
profit by the reinvestment of such
SURPRISES as they have to spare. :

RE TURNED NEGRO SAYS
NO WORK IN NORTH
Ebert Mansfield, Auto Mechan-

Want to Return to Ca.

VALDOSTA, Sept. Ebert
Mansfield, a well known negro au-
tomobile mechanic, is back home
from Detroit after several weeks
spent in that Mecca for Georgia ne
groes. Week before last Ebert en-
countered rather heavy fall of
frost which did not exactly suit him
and he at once made his arrange
ments to come home. The weather
was getting too cold early in the
season and having no ties there he
is back in Valdosta. Mansfield said
he worked twelve hours a day while
there, and while the pay was good,
living was high and he had little, if
any, more left after paying his ex-
penses. He said that there were
many Georgia negroes in Detroit
who wanted to come back home,
but were tied up in such a way they
could not make the trip.

Voters There Soon to Pass on
Issue for General Municipal
Improvements

VALDOSTA, Sept. 1S.-The
bond election for water works,
school improvements, sewerage and
the fair grounds will be held next
Thursday, and Valdosta has not
had an election that meant more
for the welfare of the city. The
water works improvement is i'm
perative, the school must have
what the election proposes for
them and the fair ground purchase
means that Valdosta wants to con-
tinue the fine work which the fairs
have done here. Under the chang
ing system of agricultural develop
ment, such fairs are more impor-
tant than ever before. The sew
erage bonds are to provide a bet
ter system of sanitation in this
city.

to close every saloon, soft drink par
lor and coffee shop or other dispen-

REVENUE. BILLS SIGNED
BY ALABAMA GOVERNOR

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 18-
Governor William w. Brandon has
moved his office from the commodi-
Gus quarters. allotted the chief exec
utive on the first floor of the capt.
toll building to the cloak room of the
senate chamber, where he affixed
his signature to the last three rev.
enue measures that can be enacted
during the present session Of the
legislature.
The three bills the governor
signed will, it is believed, net the
state a million and a half or two
million additional revenue. The deed
bill, as the measure is called, which
imposes a privilege or license tax
on all deeds and bills of sale, is ex-
pected to bring in about $4OO,0Oo
annually.
The automobile license bill, which
provides that no automobile licenses
shall be issued until ad valorem
taxes on the applicants car have
been satisfied, it is thought by some
will bring in nearly one million dol
lars annually, by virtue of render
ing escapes practically impossible.
The third bill passing the senate
today after carrying in the house,
makes it necessary for the owner Of
an automobile to protect his right of
ownership by securing a certificate
Of same. All that keeps the measure
from being wholly benevolent is the
provision that the state win get one
dollar for each such certificate is
sued. This bill is expected to bring IN
100000 a year or more, -

VEEV|L DAMAGE HEAVY
IN ENTIRE SOUTHEAST
TERRITORY is REPORT
Greatest Destruction Ever Ex-
perienced Is Reported in
North Carolina
ATTACKING GROWN BoLLs
Past Ten Days Have Been Favor
able for Picking Over Entire
Cotton Belt

ATLANTA, Sept. 10. - The
Southeastern fortnightly crow re
view, compiled by z. R. Petett, sta
tistician for the crop reporting SER
vice, United States Department of
Agriculture, says of the cotton crop
that extremely heavy weevil dam
age is reported from all the ter
ritory. In North Carolina the
greatest destruction has occurred
in the past few weeks that the
state has experienced. There is no
late crop. The boil weevil has
been attacking the grown bolls and,
for this reason, the outcome of the
crop is still problematical in the
northern part of the belt. Cotton
picking has progressed rapidly in
the southern portion, and it is now
possible to approximately estimate
the amount of cotton produced. The
crop is very poor in the southern
section, being almost a complete
failure in many counties. The past
ten days have been favorable for
picking. Much caterpillar damage
is reported in Alabama and North
west Georgia, but this will not seri-
ously affect the size of the crop,
owing to approaching maturity.
South Carolina reports rust.
OF the pasture crops, the report
says that is above the average in
North Carolina. Peavines are good
in South Carolina and Georgia.
Harvesting is in progress over the
entire territory under favorable
conditions. There is considerable
complaint of caterpillar damage in
South Georgia to cowpeas and vel
vet bean, and in North Georgia to
soy beans. The condition of pas
ture has deteriorated in South
Georgia, and in the upper part of
the belt, wher it is now very dry.
Pasture is exceptionally fine in Ten
nessee.
The commercial peanut crop is
practically all harvested in South
Georgia, with satisfactory yields.
The Georgia crop is very poor, with
considerable complaint of too much
rain and sprouting in the south.
Late corn continued to improve
in most sections, but is in critical
shape in Alabama. Corn weevils
are reported active in the early
corn in South Carolina. Fodder
pulling has progressed rapidly, and
is nearing completion in the south
ern part of the belt. Grain is bet
ter than the average in North
Carolina, but below in most of the
other territory. Harvesting is in
progress in Florida and South
Georgia.
