FAYETTEVILLE KICKS
OP COTTON CARS
Fayrttoyllle^ people brought a strong
protest before the railroad commission
Wednesday because of the luck of curs
to move the cotton accumulated at thut
point.
J. W. Culpepper, attorney for tho
protesting business men, stated that
000 bales of cotton Imd accumulated
at Fayetteville and thnt half, of
as lying In the open unprotected from
the dements. The Insurance compa
nies refuse to insure It, the railroad
III not issue bills of lading because It
no storage room, and the bunks
decline to advance .fanners money on
because of lack of protection for the
staple.
Recently the railroad commission or
dered the Southern to supply Fayette*
villa with 50 cars at the rate of ten u
day. Only 15 were supplied.
For the Sou thorn Attorney All*er
Howell and Superintendent Eagan
stated that the movement of cotton in
the past few weeks had been unprcce
dented. They stated that It was tie
llvercd to the Atlanta compresses tast
er thnn they could unload It, and that
200 to 300 cars of cotton are now In
the yards here waiting to be unloaded
Superintendent Eagan said that every
available car was being sent to the
points where cottoa was congested
and that other lines of business were
b#lng Inconvenienced to »do so. He
said that every effort would be nude
to relieve Fayetteville. With this un
derstanding the matter was postponed
until December 12. •

MONUMENT TO POE
• NOW SEEMS A8SURED.
Richmond, Va„ Nov. 21.—The Poe
monument ordinance, which provides
for-an appropriation of IS.ono for a
monument t-> ho riveted in IM* city to
Put, provided nn additional IS.OOn 1*
subscribed, will bo purred by council.
Afflicted from early childhood and
with hard work for Ida lot since the
time when moat children were In the
care of nur.ee, an Atlanta child of
poverty now ha* death ttarlng him in
the face unices somebody comes to his
rescue
lie Is a child of misfortune, too. He
hus nobody In the world but a mother
as poor as he, but with all her poverty
and hard work she Is proud—teat proud
to have her name published to the
world.
nm she I* now Imping nnd praying
that Secretary J. C. Loattn of the Asso
ciated Charities can find some one to
help her little 14-year-old Benny.
Like hi* mother, Benny works in a
mill—or rather he did work until his
awful affliction of epileptic (It* caused
him to get mangled in a machine.
With the wolf howling at her door,
the poor mother knew not which way
to turn until somebody told her about
the Associated 'Charities. There she
went with her only boy and laid bare
Her pitiful tale.
Of course the flrst thing to do was
consult a physician and to one Secre
tary Logan sent the lad. But his re
port was not encouraging. It was that
Benny would never get well except un
der rondltlpns which were Impoeslble
for his mother's finances.
He must stay on a farm for six
months or a year. He must have three
good meals a day with a rest after each
meal and Just enough work Jo keep him
healthy.
Why, the poor mother didn't even
have car fare lo send the lad away
providing the farm waa secured.
In addition to his other misfortunes.
Uenny lias but one eye. The other was
awful flta waa upon him and. too, his
affliction has made It Impossible for
him to remain In school. A* a conse
quence he can neither read nor writ*.
It Is a problem for Secretary Logan.
There Is no institution In Georgia
where epileptics may be taken care of.
Of course when they become badly ad
vanced there Is a place to send them—
the asylum at Mlltadgevllle, but when
that time arrives there la no hope for
them left.
There le hope now If somebody
who has a farm Is willing to take Ben
ny and give him a show.' That’s all *».
wants and the whole trouble «Ith hi"'
In the past was that he never had *
show. Fate seemed to hove had
cards stacked on him ever since he flrn
saw the light.
With ell his afflictions he Is natural}!
bright and atrong for one of his age. Hi
would make somebody a useful h-’l
around a farm. But where Is
farm? Unless he gets on one die doc-
tor says his end Is death.
Somebody may give him a lift • sn
retury Logan hopes so, anyway
