Two Dead, One 111
From Poison and Gun
Atlanta, Aug. 16.—As result of
poison and a gun shot wound, two
Atlanitians were dead Sunuay and
another lay in a hospital m serious
condition.
Glenn D. Hicks, Jir., son of Mr.
and Mrs. Glenn 1). Hicks, died Sun
day morning from arsenic poisoning.
Young Hicks got hold of the poi
soning Saturday afternoon and ‘his
parents ijok inn to a physician. His
condition at that time seemed' satis
factory, but early Sunday morning he
became worse and they rushed him
to a hospital. His condition wds so
aerious then that physicians were
only able to keep the child living a
few hours.
Airs. Edgar Bodiford, about 46
shot herse t to death Sunday morn
ing,, according to police; The shot
entered her head just above thi
temple. The shooting occurred at her
home. She had been in ill health ior
some time.
Louis Kochmen, 40 year old At
lanta resident, Sunday was in a se
rious condition in a hospital, suffer
ing from a poison portion.
Considerable interest was mani
fested here Friday when it was an
nounced that President Roosevelt
had agreed to the loan on this year's
cotton and stabilizing the price of
the staple at 12c a pound.
The loans will be available to
farmers who pledge themselves to
comply with the surplus control pro
gram to be enacted next year
The cotton fields seem to have
produced abundantly this year for
the acreage planted. Everywhere in
this section farmers have been en
thusiastic over the amount of cotton
produced. But, when it came to a
sharp deadline on the market, they
saw a failure rather than success
from the generous production.
At 12c a pound the cotton farmer
will be able to get by .with a .profit
if it does not cost him too much to
gather the crop of approximately
16,000,000 bales. This compares with
14.130.000 and 9,000,000 bales in the
throe preceding crops, respectively.
The carry over was estimated at 5,-
746.000 bales on July 31st, of the
present year. This figure is 1,000,000
hales less than in 1935, according to
figures given out by the New Orleans
Cotton Exchage.
The agreement of President Roose
velt to the loan plan, does not in
volve the government in any great
possibility of loss. The loss in 1935
not only stabilized the price but
kept the market up to and above
the loan value of the staple.
With the exception of three
yeans—1914, 1925, 1926—This year’s
estimated crop is the largest since
1900. Following the high years, there
hah, from one cause or another, been
a large drop in production, with an
exception to the rule which occurred
in 1026, after the 16,000,000 bale
crop in 1925.
These figures indicate quite con
clusively that the government can,
without any great prospect of loss,
stabilize the price of this year’s crop
at 12c; Action to that end, as ap
proved by the president, will mean
the saving of thousands of dollars by
Southern cotton planters.
