ROGERS PUTS $40,000,000
INTO A VIRGINIA ROAD
New York. Sepf. 20.—The Evening
Post prints details of the story that
Henry H. Roger*, the Standard Oil
magnate, has loat about $40,000,000 by
Investments In the Tidewater railway
project In Virginia. It Is stated, how
ever, that Rogers may win out In
time, as the road I* nearing comple
tion and may prove a money-maker.
The paper says: ...
“According to the stories previously
circulated, upward of 40 per cent of
Mr. Rogers’ fortuno has been Involved
In the Tidewater Investment. It was
reported today that the personal ob-
ligations Incurred amounted to $40,-
wio.000. It van bo stated positively
that the aum Is much larger than the
i,mount named: also that the situation
has been entirely cleared up.
“In order to meet the demands made
upon him In connection with the con
struction of the railroad. Mr. Rogers
was forced to dispose of a large
amount of Investment stocks at a
sacrifice. All during the recent decline
In prices the vice president of the
Standard Oil Company sold gilt-edged
stocks, such as Standard Qll, Consol
idated Qas, Union Paclflc and St. Paul.
“Some five or six years ago,'against
the advice of his friends, .Mr. Rogers
started to build In West Virginia a
low-grade road which would parallel
the Norfolk and Western. Hla object
was to carry coal and lumber to tide-'
water. The line was to be 444 miles
long. Only 125 miles have been com
pleted.
“Only a few months ago. In order to
raise $10,000,000 for the Tidewater road.
H. H. Rogers Issued his personal note,
secured by $20,000,000 mortgage bonds,
$10,000,000 stock and $10,000,000 divi
dends or Interest paying collateral.
These 6 per cent notes were Indorsed
by H. H. Rogers personally.”

A Great Roast!
Over a ton of Arbuckles’ Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at a time, in a large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi
cient demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepara
tion.
The sales of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni
tude, reduces our cost to a minimum,
and enables us, with our other advant
ages, to give better value in Arbuckles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else,
Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
world, and the best of all for
you.

Cotton Forecasts.
The following resolutions have been
ndopted by the local Farmers' Union
of Butts, Spalding and Monroe coun
ties:
Wo, your committee, wish to make
the following report.
The Farmers’ Union of Butts county.
Georgia, denounces tho uctlon of cer
tain reporters ryho reported the oct-
ten crop of the state of Georgia at
2,000,000 bnles for the yenr 1907, while
1.300.000 would be a very liberal esti
mate for the present crop.
We regret that certain influential
newspapers had published this report
without comment, which has been very
detrimental to the fanners of Georgia
anti the whole South.

Resolutions adopted by the Union of
Spalding county, Grlflln, Go., Soptem
her 18. 1907:
Whereas, Governor Hoke Smith, Col.
mel W. L. Peel and other prominent
cltlxens of Georgia, In a recent Inter
view given to Tho Atlanta Journal,
places the cotton crop of the state of
Georgia at 2,000,000 bales for the year
1907, and.
Whereas, recognltlne that estimate
Is wholly untrue from the present out
look, and what we can learn from all
sources, we, the Farmers’ Union of
Spalding county. In a called meeting
assembled, do hereby
Resolve, That we strongly condemn
the methods used by these prominent
rlllxens to lower the prices of cotton bv
making It appear that the state will
yield fully 500,000 more bales than It Is
possible for her to yield thlB year, and
words of censure are not too strong
toward these men for such unfair
methods against the farmers of tho
state. We further
Resolve, That It Is the sentiment of
all present that we embody In theao
r« solutions the request that all persons
in the state making reports to the gov.
etnment be exceedingly careful not to
over-estimate the crop conditions at
ei.ch report, thus protecting the farmer
rgalnst the speculator.

Whereas, It haa been published
abroad that Georgia will make 2,000,000
bales of cotton this year, and .
Whereas, the report* snow that our
county has as good a crop proportion
ately as the other counties, and we aro

had something to do with it.

Columbia, H. C., Hept.. 20.—The state of
Houth Carolina Is finally out of tho liquor
business.
On the first of Inst February there was In

When at that time the legislature deter
mined to abolish the system n commission

Rsmsrksble Crop Increase.
According to predictions of the friends

lina six months after the whisky revenue
was cut off should be financially embar
rassed. The actual coudltlou Is confusing
to tho friends of state control. The Indi
cated cotton yield Is 1,200,000 bales, nnd
this, together with the seed for which oil
mills are clamoring, .will fetch the producer
something like $7M,000,000, or about $14,000,000
more than the value of any previous cotton
crop produced In this state.
