INVEST MONEY AT HOME.
„ A Rome Insurance Company la Glv.
lng Valuable Lesson.
Atlanta, April 18.—The Invest-
meat of Southern capital this spring
Is being keenly watched by business
men. Reports from Georgia and
- surrounding states are tending to
show, according to expert analysis,
that this section is beginning to put
into practice the economlo principle
of Investing money at home.
Southern capital Is now being
used In the operation of Southern
industries to a much greater extent
tban a few years ago. As a strik
ing example, no Soulherrn organisa
tion baa applied Its resources to sec
tional development In recent year*
more assiduously than the State
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Georgia, which was the drat legal
reserve company In this etate. and
■whose president la C. R. Porter, of
Rome, Ga„ one of the South’s lead
ing bnalness men.
Inasmuch aa the State Mutual Is
essentially a Southern company, Its
progress has been watched with
steady public Interest. Its ofllceis
and directors have followed the es
tablished policy of making their In
vestments exclusively In the South.

URE ADVOCATED BY FARM

Certain opponents of Hon. Oscar W.
Underwood for the presidency have
sought* though unsuccessfully to,
trump up some sentiment against him
by alleging that he “appointed"
John Lamb aa chairman of the
cultural committee, over the proi
of the Farmers’ Union. As Mr.
derwood never appointed Mr. Lamb,
the charge is false. Mr. Lamb
elected by the Democratic members
of the house in caucus, the vote for
him being unanimous. He 'became
chairman by reason of the fact that
be was the ranking Democrat on the
committee, on which he bad serve^
for 17 years. The objection to Mr,
Lamb was based on the fact that h^
bad not favored the Scott and ant
option cotton bill. Aa to Mr. Under*
wood’s attitude toward this measure,
no better evidence can be presented
than the following splendid speech
it costs ii.ao a Dale to store cotton
in New York City, and when the mill
man in the East could buy his cot

that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even

gambling In cotton futures.
Cotton, Crop.
Prior to the year 1907 the New
York Cotton exchange published sta
tistics relating to the buying and sell
ing ot cotton futures on that ex
change, and there was sold at that
time on this exchange 100,000,000
bales of cotton a year. The greatest
cotton crop that this country has ever
made amounted to a little oVer 13,'
w York City. The result was
that the legitimate sale of cotton in
New York has practlcaly ceased, and
the New York Cotton Exchange has
been forced by these conditions to
deal in future sales for gambling pur
poses or go out of business. It often
occurs that spot cotton in the South
at the railroad station sells for us
much as 1 cent a pound higher than
the price of cotton on the exchange
lh New York, which Is conclusive
that the prices on the New York ex-
flange are not governed by the law
supply and demand, but the llleglt-
ite operations of the bulls and
on the exchanges.
King Cotton.
cbtton crop Is one of the groat-
agricultural products of our coun
it brings more gold back into
country than auy other commodity
export The South Is largely , do-
dent on it for Its prosperity. To
It appears absolutely Immoral and
fist to allow an organization
tlnuo the business of gambling in
Ion futures and through their man-
fetlons to seriously affect the price
manipulations that are not dependent
upon the law of supply and demand.
but largely upon the amount of money
that the bsar side of the market may
oontrol one day or the bull side con
world every morning. Cotton
quotations could bo obtained the same
way were the exchanges entirely abol
ished, but, as I said before, this bill
does not seek to destroy the cotton
exchange that is delng a legitimate
business and where cotton Is aotaaUy
bought and sold, but only seeks to
prevent the gambling In future cotton.
The price of any oommodtty should
be fixed by the buyer and seller. It
Is not fair to have It fixed by men
on an exchange that are not Interest
ed In the product Itself In any way.
I therefore believe that it Is entire
ly proper for the government of the
United States to prohibit the Inter
state use of the mall, telegraph wires
and the telephone wires to persons
gambling In this great agricultural
product to t)ie material detriment of
pie, who produce and the peo-

000,000 bales, and the average cotton
crop In the country will not exceed
12,000,000 bales of cotton. The sta
tistics show that for the year 1906-7
37 per cent of the cotton raised In
this country was used in the home
market and 63 per cent, was shipped
abroad. In an average crop the hume
consumption does not amount to mui
than 4,800,000 bales. It is thefrefoi
conclusively shown that on this one
exchange twenty times as much cot
ton was bought and sold as was used
In this country. v
About Hedging.
It Is contended by those who favor
the continuation of the sale of cotton
futures on the cotton exchanges of
the country that It Is necessary for
the mill owners to buy for future do-
livery In order to hedge against the
uncertainties of the future market
price in order that they can make
their contracts, but it Is seen it would
not be necessary for them to hedge
for more than the entire amount of
the cotton consumed by the manufac
turers of the country, which under ao
circumstances exceeds 5,000,000 baba;
but the bill docs not prohibit the pur
chase of cotton for future delivery,
so that if the mill owners desires to
make his purchase of cotton on the
exchanges before the cotton crop Is
actually gathered. If It is a bona fide
transaction for legitimate purpose a
there is nothing in the bill that w U
prevent him from doing ao.
The statistics show that the amon t
of cotton received In New York City
for the year 1902-3 amounted to 67,-
677 bales; for the year 1903*4 to 45.*
123 bales; for the year 1904-6 to 33,
798 bales; for the year 1905-4 to(6,-
676 bales; for tho year 1906-7 to 23,*
118 bales. The average for these flve
years amounts to about 34.000 bales
that were handled in New York City,
but the transactions on the New York
Cotton Exchange amount to 100,000,-
000 bales.
Gambling.
It seems to me conclusively shown
from these figures that the transac
tions on the New York Cotton Ex
change were practically all gambling
transactions and not in the interest
of legitimate business. There was a
time after the New York Cotton Ex
change was organized, in 1870, wh^n
there was a legitimate cotton market
in New York, and the transactions
on the New York Cotton Excban-e
were in the main actual sales of cot
ton, but the through bill of lading de
stroyed the New York cotton market.
Splendor and Extravagance of Those
Ancient Days.
Undoubtedly there Is much Idle
talk about the terrific extravagance
of women of the present day, their
suit, of constantly changing styles
and the luxuries demanded both by
those who can and those who cannot
afford the expense. One would be
led to suppose, in the absence of
knowledge to the contrary, that tb?se
were things of modern growth,
perusal of ancient history, however,
reveal# tho existence of similar con
ditions during all known period:
the past. We are told that tho ladles
of Lesbos slept on beds of rosen,
whose perfume had been artificially
heightened, and I n thoso times court
maffiend powdered their hair with
gold. Perhaps Marc Antony’s daugh
ter did not change her dress half
dozen times a day, as do tho New
port graces, but she had the lam
prey* in her fish pond wear ear-rings.
The dresses of Lollia Paulina, the
rival bf Agrippa, were valued at $2,-
664,480. This did not Include her
jewels. She wore at one supper $1,-
662,000 worth of Jewels, and It wan
a plain citizen affair at that. The
luxury of Poppae, beloved by Nero,
wa* equal to that of Lollia. The wo
men of the Roman empire Indulged
in all sorts of luxuries and excesses
and these were revived under Napo
leon I In France. Madam T&lllcn
bathed herself In a wash of straw-
berries and raspberries and was mas-
•eged with sponges dipped In milk
and perfume.
