the Truth Regarding Debate.
■Speaking of the Odell-McDonald debate, the Kauf-
man Post says i
D.W. Od$ll and C..C. McDonald met here yesterday
in joint discussion, the former gentleman espousing the
cause of Ramsey and the latter for Colquitt. The dis-
trict court room was crowded with people from ail parts
o.f this county and several from out of the county. Odell
opened the debate, McDonald followed, and Odell had
a rejoinder. As we predicted a few days ago, we be-
lieve the Rasmsey people, of whom 1 am one, are sorry
that they invited the secretary of state to discuss the

NEW OFFICERS ELECIEO
FOR VAN DYKE LOOSE
At their last meeting the I. 0.
tonio, adopted a resolution approving the Farmers’ Union plan of
marketing cotton tind calling upon the financial interests of the
state to supplement the work of the Union in obtaining 6 per
cent money to finance distress cotton, and asked President Cain,
representing the business interests, to lend assistance to Mr. Rad
ford, representing the agricultural interests, in giving more com-
plete effect to the plan.
It is reliably estimated that with sufficient revenue behind it,
jhe plan to loan money to farmers who are financially unable to
hold their cotton, will result in a more stable market and will add
at least ten dollars per bale to the price of cotton.
O. F. Lodge of Van Dyke elected
the following offioere for this
year:
Earl Front, N. G; D. E. Nabers
