dsv night by the city council at their

tiers were considered.
A committee composed of Alder
men Pace, Harper and Wall appoint
ed to visit nearby towns and report on
meat and milk inspection, stated that
due to high water they had been I'M
able to travel, and asked for addition
al time, which was granted.

was read and accepted. The commit
tees who were appointed to appear be-
fore the county commissioners and
the county board OF education report
ed that both had refused to contrib
ute to the upkeep Of the library, but
they were of the opinion that these
boards would change their attitude.
The treasurer was authorized to con-
tnue the monthly payments to the
library until the matter was definitely
settled.
VIII Davis appeared before the
council and sought permission to re-
build the wooden awning on the
Bethune building, which was blown
down by the wind As the building,
which is a wooden structure, is in the
fire limits of the city, the request was
refused until a thorough investigation
can be made.
On complaint of number of citi-

to over $4,000. Through the same
agency, in cooperation with the state
college, markets are found for prod
ucts hitherto unmarketable. However,
the monetary value is of secondary
consideration. The girls are taught
food values and how to prepare such
foods; also systematic housekeeping
plans, thrift, sanitation, sewing, and
higher outlook on life So highly
do the women OF Terrell county think
of this work they have by their own
efforts placed 500 worth of equip
ment in the domestic science depart
ments OF the different schools. All of
this equipment will go into disuse if
the appropriation is discontinued. The
work of several years will be brought
to a standstill.
1t is a situation too tragic to con-
template. Our girls are the future
home makers of our sons, and we can
not afford to give them less opportu-
mites than they ask for.
The women of Terrell county ask
for the earnest consideration OF this
matter by the public, both officially
and as private citizens,
Terrell county must go forward
through her future citizens.
IF we haven't left the present gen.
Grafton in a better condition than we
found it we have lost out.

BANK ANNOUN Noes
NEW LOAN POLICY
WILL NOT LEND MONEY TO
FARMERS WHO DO NOT
GROW FOOD CROPS.

In today's News the Bank of Par
rott, of which Mr. S. ]. Carter is pres
ident announces a policy in reference
to loans to farmers which, if generally
adopted by banking institutions, will
rcvolutionize farming in this section.
Grow food crops sufficient to meet
the needs of the farm or do without
its money is the notice the bank serves
on those who wish its aid.
Disavowing intention to dictate to
any one and stating that with the
boil weevil here it is unsafe to buy on
credit those products which can be
grown on the farm the banks adver-
tisement says: I'VE are pursuing a
policy we know to be right and are
making known this policy in ample
time for you to formulate your own
crop plans. We would not be doing
our duty as bank if we failed to Wig
orously stand for a sound farming
program. The program we stand for
is the only safe one, the one that bank
ers and farmers alike throughout the
south say is the only safe one. In ad-
dition to the fact that we wish to give
emphatic support to the program of
farming under boil weevil conditions
is the fact that as bankers we are not
interested in making loans (no matter
how good the security if we think
the funds derived from such loans are
going to be used in way that will
cause us to have to realize on the Sc
curity pledged"
The bank gives assurance that it
will at all times do its full part if CON
ditions are such there is failure
of food and feed crops after proper
effort has been made to produce them.

Rub on Good on MusteroLe

That cold may turn into grip, Flu"
or, even worse, Pneumonia, if you don't
take care of it at once. The old-time
doctor prescribed mustard plasters. The
up-to-date doctor advises Musterole.
Colds are merely congestion. Muster
ole is made from oil of mustard, men

to stir circulation and break congestion.
Rub Mustefole on with the fingers.

HARRIS WOULD
CHANGE CROPS
REPORT SYSTEM
Senator Urges Daily Reports. OBJ.
ject Is to Remove Speculative
Features Found at Present

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Prep-
aration of legislation to change the
crop reporting system of the gov
eminent to prevent speculation on
the cotton exchanges has been I'M
dertaken by Senator Harris, demo-
crat, Georgia, former director of
the census bureau.
Senator Harris has conferred with
both census bureau and department
of agriculture officials and they
have indosed his plan. He purposes
the Improvement of methods of crop
reporting rather than their abolish
ment.
Broadly, his plan is to have the
census bureau and agriculture de-
partment publish daily information
from crop reporters, instead of semi
monthly The July and August es-
Inmates of the total crop from the
year would be abandoned, but on
September 1 an estimate would be
made from the condition of the crop,
while the acreage abandoned would
be announced.
Forecasts would be made on the
basis of the departments experience
in past yeras and condition as to the
probable amount of cotton crop for
a year. The reports would be with
held until after the close of the ex-
changes, and the New York and New
Orleans cotton exchanges would be
required to report daily total trans
actions for the day and month.
These changes, the Georgia sena-
tor declared, largely would remove
the speculative feature of the crop
meports, and by preventing unwar-
anted bear raids on the market,
would add millions each year to the
purses of southern farmers. If the
government reports are abolished en-
tirely, he asserted. private reporters,
whose estimates mainly are guesses,
would have a free field to encour-
age wild manipulation of the market
without the balancing influence of
the departments report.

Fields Still
White With Cotton
Cotton Pickers Are Hard to Get :;
Farmers Offer $3.50 Per
Hundred for Pickers
By LOVELACE EVE

Thousands of acres as white as
snow on both sides of the
Missouri Pacific Railway with stalks
weighted down with fleecy staple
stands today unpicked and sprouting
because the farmers Of Arkansas can
not get labor to pick this crop which
earlier would have brought rs cents
and today isn't worth over 10 cents
pound in its damaged state.
A negro farmer tells me he has
1900 acres covered with as good a
crop as he ever raised and but lit
tie yet out Of the fields. His name
I is Clay Brook and his farm is near
Topass, Ark, am told he offered
$3.50 hundred for pickers with all
the liquor and fish throwed in," and
could not get labor to pick his crop.
He has lost $4,000 on this years
crop alone.
ClaybrOOk's' story is typical, judg-
ing from what have seen as | pass
ed through the state.
From another source, l learn that
the Arkansas farmers brought ne
'roges from Chicago to the state to
gather this bumper crop. "They
came, they worked a day or two,
drew their pay, bought some clothes
and went back to Illinois," said an
old farmer at small station be-
tween Memphis and Little Rock.
But labor is not their only trouble,
the country is extremely flat, and the
fall has been a wet one. Only few
days have been dry enough to pick
cotton. The staple in the fields is
now practically worthless, much is on
the ground and what is left on the
stalk has sprouted.
If the condition along the Mis-
souri, Pacific is fair sample of the
rest of the state, the estimated crop
of this state is much higher than the
final ginnings will total.
Tuesday was fair and warm like
an April day in Sumter, and yet only
Is or 16 cotton pickers were seen in
the fields.
AS a city, Memphis does not touch
our own capital city, Atlanta. From
outward appearances, Memphis like
Atlanta, continues to build, even
though she has many vacant stores
now.
The Florida boom has its good
and its bad side. 1t has caused some

OPERATE ON
SICK TREES
TRANSMISSION Operations On Sick
Trees Have Reen Found Sue
cessful By College Professor

AUBURN, Cal, Nov. 19.-Trans-
usion operations on sick trees. with
solution of ferrous sulphate as
suming the character of arboreal
blood, are being made successfully in
California. Diseased trees have
been brought into prolific bearers.
DR.. C. B. Lipman, professor of
plant physiology at the University
of California, said when here that
he treatment promised to eliminate
UGH plant scourages as aphis and
the blight.
The tree is treated as gently as a
uman. A hole is bored about three
quarters of the way through the
runk, and a glass tube inserted and
called in with specially prepared
wax. A bottle reservoir is placed
at the height of the tree top and is
connected with the glass tube by a
hose. Thus the solution flows gently
nto the tree and is absorbed.

JUDGE ROOP
WILL MAJ E
DEATH DATE
Date Is to Be Announced During
Week of November 30th.
Sixth Death Date

COLUMBUS. Ca. Nov. 10
Judge Charles E Roop, of Carroll
ton, will come to Columbus during
the week of November 80. to fix the
sixth death date for Willie Jones and
Gervis Bloodworth. it was announc-
ed yesterday by Judge C Frank Nc
Laughlir, who is disqualified in the
case.
1t was not known Wednesday ex-
actly when Judge Roop will come to
the city, but it is believed that he
will arrive the first part of week af-
ter next. Judge Roop, who is a
judge of the superior courts of the
Coweta circuit, presided in Musco-
gee superior court last May. when
Jones and Bloodworth were tried for
the second time for the murder of
Howard F. Underwood. A verdict
of guilty was returned and Judge
Roop sentenced the boys to die on
the gallows in the Muscogee county
Jail June 26. Judge Roop overruled
motion for new trial and when the
case was again taken to the supreme
court by Homer Beeland, counsel for
the Taylor youths, the execution
was stayed.
Tuesday the state supreme court
affirmed the Muscogee superior
court and it is necessary that new
execution uaCe he tlxed. 1t will be
the sixth Tor the youths. 1t is ex-
pected that the remlUture will be re-
ceived from the supreme court clerk
by Clerk Early H. Johnson, of Mus
cogee superior court within the next
few days
Jones and Bloodworth have five
times escaped the moose in the des-
perate fight their attorneys have
made to save their lives. No word
has been received here from Mr.. Bee
land, their chief counsel, but it is oc-
lieved that he will renew his effort
to persuade Governor Walker to ex-
tend executive clemency.
It is, of course, not known what
day Judge Roop will choose for the
hanging of Jones and Bloodworth.
but it was believed in some circles
yesterday that, the execution would
be set for some day in January.
