SIX KNOWN PROFITS IN COTTON.
In an Interest lng article In a recent
ißsite of the “Country Gentleman," on
cotton liy Barton W. Currie, tho writer
declares then urn six known profits
in cotton which ho describes us fol
lows;
First—l’roducera' profit.
Second- Merchant s' profit.
Third—Factors' profit.
Fourth —Buyers’ or exporters’ profit.
Fifth—Selling brokers' prdflt (Liv
erpool).
Sixth—Buying brokers’ profit (I.lv
jerpnol) and "then nt lust the Kttgllsh
spinner has Ills American cotton and
can go abend and make his manufac
turer’s profit.”
ThlH Interesting article of Mr. Bur
rle's Is well worth reading, in the light
of recent events, and what tho South
must faco for tho future.
This year the South has ma.lo a
magnificent crop of cotton, one of the
largest on record. Costing, ns the
government estimates II cents a pound
to raise cotton and nt present Helling
prices around 7 l * cents the producers’
profit Is eliminated and showß a loss.
However, with the exception of tha
producer there Is no reason why the
other five profits that attach to the
handling of the cotton crop should
not be made this year as usual. They
may he delayed In the taking, but
there Is no reason why they shouldn’t
i.e made ns usual by the middleman
before this cotton reaches the English
apt nner.
The merchant who hns made ad
vances to the farmer or producer <an
at least get paid In cotton, and tills
cotton In turn Is finding Its way to
the factor's warehouses day after tlnv,
to serve as collateral for the advances
made to the merchant and f irmer.
Augusta Is going to handle more
cotton this year than last year mid
Is going to make a bigger profit out
of It Augusta along with other ware
house town of the South Is storing
enormous storks of cotton which are
being gradually marketed, as the de
mand permits. Augusts will make In
addition to the tisusl commissions ns
this large stock of cotton Is sold, an
additional storage charge of from
I>*.ooo to >IO,OOO a month over the
usual chnrges for handling the cot
ton crop of this section. More cotton
Is stored In Augusta nnd will he hold
longer than ever before.
Augusta factors have secured lib
eral advances for the farmers and
country merchants on this lari e stock
of cotton which has turned loose at
lease SIOOO.OOO In this section. Most
of this money has come from other
sections of the country -as very lit
tle money Is loaned by the local banks
for storing and holding purposes
Over >O,OOO bales of this season’s
receipts have been oold In the A«t
guata market and thla repreaents ap
proximately another M.OOO 000 of for
eign and oulalde money that has been
turned loose In this section.
In other words Augusta nnd th’.s
trade territory has received the actual
cash benefit. In aales nnd loans on Its
cotton, of approximately >*,*oo.o*o.
which has gone Into the channels of
local trade, to liquidate debts, pay ac
counts, adjust hnlances. etc.
The panic Is over, times are getting
better every (lav As soon ns the far
mers of the South demonstrate that
they have cut the arreage. cotton Is
going up for then this year’s crop
will have to he called upon to supply
the deficiency of next year's crop
The South can carry thla year's
surplus without difficulty and mnka a
profit on It when it demonstrates that
It has cut 'he screefor next year i

HISTORY OF AN AUGUSTA INSTITUTION ,
THE MARY WARREN HOME
In view of the fact that tomorrow,
Tuesday afternoon, at four o’clock, the
Masons of Augusta will lay the cor
nerstone of the new Mary Warren
Home the following history of tho
Home will prove Interesting;
HISTORY OF THE MARY WARREN
HOME.
The Mir.i.ah Circle of the King's
Daughters had for some years several
old women under their care for whom
they paid house rent. Mrs. C. A.
Rowland was leader of this circle and
Mrs. \V 11. Warren, vice-leader. Mrs.
Howland while talking with Mrs. War-
Ten one day, said she wished they
could own a home where these women
could bo placed and all cared for to
gether. Mrs. Warren at once com
menced to set* what could be done. The
first thought was a lot on which to
hulhl a home, so Mrs. Rowland and
Alls. Warren called on the mayor of
the city, at that time. Mr. Alfred Alur
tln, and talked with him In regard to
this. The result w»s, that a lot was
given on upper Broad street They
then commenced to sec about getting
contributions of money and building
materials toward building a home on
this lot, and a sufficient amount was
given to warrant their cummeitclns
to build a home. A public appeal was
then made thmugh the city papers,
August 3rd, 1895. The first contribu
tion after this appeal was from tho
Y M. C. A baseball club. Other
amounts followed, and soon there was
quite a snug little sum in the bank.
Many of the elttsens contributed but
Dr Eugene Foster, Mr. .lohn W. Dick
ey, and Mr James Dawson were spe
cially Interested nnd were very gen
erous 111 their gifts.
Mr. H. H. King, Mr. James Tobin.
Mr. Jacob Phtnizy, Miss Lewellyn
Goodrich, mid Mr John R. Schneldef
were also liberal contributor*. Vary
material help waa given In donations
o< building materials from Mr. W J.
Rutherford, McCoy Brick A Tile t’o„
Merry Brothers, Hagler. Hanklnson
I trick Go, Rossignol & O'Keefe, Au
gusta Brick Co., Youngblood Lumber
Co, I’rrMns t.umber Co., Woodward
Lumber Co. A. It. McDaniel, F. C.
Meyers, iVveny, Hood ft Co.
li is certainly a pleasant retrospect
to recall the names of so many who
n ade II possible for this home for the
aged to be built. When the lot was
given no deed was given. Mrs. A\ht
rrn and Mrs Howland realising the
Importance of securing n deed called
upon the mayor In regard to this.
There had been a change In the ad
ministration by that time nnd It was
found that Mr. Jacob Phlnlry who was
llie mayor at that time, through some
misunderstanding had sold the lot An
animal was then made to tha mayor
and ettv council for another lot. which
was promptly given. This was April
26th. 1901, A deed to this lot was
given May 4th. 1901, with the plat of
the lot attached. Tilts had to be
used by tho contractor and was lost
by ht-m, so another ri«v*d waa given
June 2Mb. 1904. The house was moved
Hnd plans wore Iw'lng made for repairs
when Mrs. Warren died It was found
that Mrs Warren had left In her wilt,
a sufficient amount, wilt) what had
been already given, to build a new
home, nnd the plan that she had sug
gested was used for the building.
This plan was drawn by Mr. I- F.
Goodrich without charge and he also
superintended the building of the homo
without any remuneration The de
voted love ail the members of the Mls
poh Circle had for Mrs. Warren made
I them decide at once to call the Home
for her. feeling It would be a beauti
ful memorial, and It was named The
Mary Warren Home for the Aged. The
building of the Home was commenred
1n July. twit, and completed In Oeto-
I tier of the same tear. The first two
I Irwntes of the Home moved In eoon
I after Its completion The next two
I Initiates Airs Sarah and Miss Klvy
Evans, well-known and Iwdovcd by
I o any In the city for their beautiful
I lives, moved Into the Home December
j Ist, 1903, and tt was a singular coinci
dence (I tat tt was Mr* Warren’s birth
day.* <*n December 20th, 1993 there
whs a formal opening, when there was
religions services hv Rev John Chlp
otan followed by an address bv Pr
Plunkett, It wits cause for Ihanks
xlving it it rejoicing that u'ter eight
>ears sinoe the building of the Home
was first conceived, hopes hnd been
realized atvl brought to fruition.
INDOOR SPORTS
The cost of building the original
Home of fjve rooms was $1,491. After
Capt. Warren’s death It was found that
he had left a bequest to the Home and
with that two other rooms were added
at a cost of $550.
When the Home was completed, Mrs.
Rowland wrote a letter to each circle
in the City Union and the Summer
ville Circle, asking If they would like
to unite with the Mi/.puh Circle In the
support of the Mary Warren Home
for the Aged, hut all replied that they
would he unable to assist, with the
exception of the Lucy Alexander Me
morial Circle, and this circle, with the
Mlxpah Circle, hns since then assumed
the support of the Home.
The hoard of managers are equally
represented by members from these
two circles.
The original hoard was composed of
the following members: Mrs, S. J.
Pinkerton, honorary president; Mrs C.
A. Rowland, president; Mrs. W. M
Butt, vice-president; Mrs. D. Shaver,
secretary; Mrs. Addison Wolsiger.
treasurer; Mrs. J. L. Bowles, Mrs. Abe
Ellis, Mrs. J. 11. Hollingsworth, Mrs.
H. M. North. Mrs. Wareon Duvall,
Mrs Mannle Walton. Miss Genevia
Garrett, Mrs. J. W. Wallace.
The Home has been supported hy
voluntary contribution and from en
tertainments that have been given
from time to time. God has certainly
watched over nnd blessed this work. It
would not be known one month where
the money would come from for the
next month’s expenses, hut His loving
care provided the needed amount and
the money nlways came, sometimes in
an unexpected way.
The Home has been Messed by be
quests from Mrs Dowdy, Atrs. Hall,
and Mrs. Pinkerton, the Income from
which has been most helpful. Resil
l/.lng that the Inmates were too feeble
to do their own cooking, the thought
of building a kitchen and having some
one to cook for them was considered.
The necessary amount was raised and
the kitchen built in 1909 at a cost of
$409.70.
Mrs. Bentley, the first matron, had
charge for nine or ten months. After
she left Mrs. Itoscher anil Miss Sadler
each for a month or two, then the
present matron, Mrs. Thurmonij, who
has been In charge since December
13th, 1905 Mrs. Tourn.ond Is very
efficient and faithful, guarding tho In
terest of the Home with a watchful
eye and Is devoted ot her care of and
attention to the inmates of the Home.

AN AMERICAN MADE CHRISTMAS
A
111 i
i
i
Christmas novelties and especially
Christmas Toys have hitherto come from
abroad in large numbers.
This year imports are curtailed and
the deficiences have been largely made up
by American manufacturers.
An American made Christmas is not
likely to prove any the less interesting to
the kiddies.
The announcements of the stores
show no dearth of stocks. They are full
of interest and especially so to the chil
dren.
There is a ring of patriotism about
the advertising that makes it unusually in
teresting.

Those who enjoyed this delightful
occasion were Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mc-
Honaker, Miss Myrtle McHonaker,
Mrs. William Frank, Miss Ruth Byrd,
Miss Edith McMonigle, Miss Marion
