Dr. Fel- [ ton shipped his cotton bales to Augusta, a year or two later and was paid 19 cents a pound Once or twice before 1874 cotton, sold as high as 15 cents a yound. for ex ceptionally good cotton. I read the headlines with much inter est last night and wondered If the spec ulators had made up their minds that the producers had about parted with al their crop and the time bad now come to cry out for high prices to benefit these same speculators Some one remarked to me a few weeks ago that the speculators would thus run | up the price for two reasons as soon as the glnner’s report was made in Decem- would then be ready for their own profit to bull the market and sell at high prices, and at the same time, make every farmer strain himself to a big cotton crop in 1910. Without an) “bowels of mercy” for the man who pro duced the cotton in 19®. they have kept down the price, with full knowledge of j the shortage and now that the farmed had a. Id his crop of cotton, they are ripe and ready to sell what they bought from the farmer at the advanced price, the de pression And advance, both due to their manipulation and trickery. I see notices in the newspapers which would indicate President Taft's willing ness to curb these cotton speculators, and certainly the disclosures made a few years ago (involving certain government em ployes. who were making fake statistics for these speculators) would warrant rig id and extreme punishment for those who bribed these unfaithful government employes to depress the price of cotton and thus rob the producers. Here is a place to act. that the pres ident must understand needs the strong hand of the executive to procure the en forcement of the law. Bribe-givers and bribe-takers are of the same pattern and built of the same sorry stuff. These men have been exposed now the strong hand of the president should be seen in their proper punishment. I do not suppose cotton will reach 29 eents a pound this year or next. bu. that it will go higher than at present is very obvious. Those who bought cotton weeks ago along around 12 and 13 cents will make a handsome profit. Every cent raises the profit five dollars on the bale, and now that the crop can be safely figured upon, goes to prove that the short- j age was kept out of sight until the tune to sell had been gained by these crafty speculators. OldMaids Fifty years ago. and later, the name of “old maid” was applied to unmarried womeh in derisioh. She was credited with being unable to “catch ts Tfean. or find a man willing to marry her. There were few divorces in those days, because the impression prevailed that a woman was obliged to marry to show her capacity for winning a husband It was not infrequent to hear the fol lowing remark: “She married him because she didn't want to be an old maid.” “Old maid” was a term of reproach, and applied, as said before, in derision. A marriageable girl was measured by the number of beaux she might catch, or how many courted her. I can remember in my childhood see ing the young people pair off after the benediction in church was pronounced and the smart fellow who could unhitch the horse the girl had ridden to churcn and helfr her to mount, and then ride off home beside her. was considered an open candidate for matrimony and thus seeking the girl's favor. We had a neighbor with six or seven daughters, who often complained she could not get to meeting except on Sat urdays. because the "gals” brought so many fellows horn* tth them on Sund&y that the house ». * plum full of people to eat dinner. But the good mother would not have had It otherwise, because she was keen to get them married off. and more than anxious that her neighbors might see that her “gals'* were popular enough to catch a beau wheji beaux were in the market, and she avoided old maidlsm. I have often heard the saying; “I do wonder what's the matter with So and Ho (mentioning some young woman of their acquaintance) that she don’t get married.” and it was sometimes attribut ed to the fact that she had been jilted and didn't get her heart's choice, and was love-lorn and desolate A few days ago a letter came to me from a candid young woman, who dtdn t want to be an old maid, and as she stat ed It. “all the likely fellows had either married or gone out of the settlement.” and she felt impressed to ask my help in getting • mate. She recited jter vari ous qualifications, was young enough, stout and healthy, a good housekeeper and anxious to get married. Could 1 help her? I have not answered that letter because I have not the slightest disposition to conduct a matrimonial agency and also I concluded it would be bettar for the young woman to find her mate herself, and if she didn't find him to turn about Hay Fever and Phthisic RELIEVED XN A J TWO MINUTES.

She may love him “fit to kill when the preacher pronounces the mar riage vow for her and find him after wards to be so unworthy that she fails to even respect him and bewails the daj that commenced her unhappiness with matr’moni' ,• And all women are not angels either. Ihev can contribute a good deal to wed ded misery after the knot is tied. I heard a man say some weeks ago. who had been married at least a third of a century: “T consider myself as a man without a wife.” She had pulled him back, nagged him. aggravated and an noyed him until he felt himself deeply injured, and free to express himself to counselors. So there are a good many things to be | considered in picking out a husband for | this candid young lady correspondent. I have no talent In such direction, and would decline to arbitrate their respec tive claims if they should appear in my presence and ask for my decision. “Old maids” are the salt of the earth. When good, they are good old maids. Market Reports SPOT COTTON. Atlanta, steady. 1415 c. New York, quiet. 15 l»-l<X>c. Liverpool, quiet. 8 08Mil Galveston, steady. 15c. 1 New Orleans, steady. ISI-Mc.

AU* five of the hanks that have en- Itred into the agreement to lower the interest rate paid to the people for cash deposits are membe’-s of the Atlanta Clearing House association. The one re maining bank in I this organization, the Central Bank and Trust corporation, has decided to maintain its former rate of 4 per cent. It is significant to note that two of the leading savings banks of the south, the Georgia Savings bank and the Union , Savings bank, have not altered their rate jon depostis, and will continue to pay 1 ; per cent. . Interest on savings accounts has been 1 paid semi-annually, 2 per cent on July >l, and 2 per c*nt on January 1. and tho ! notice issued by the five tyanks entering I into the cut states that the new rate of 3 1-2 per cent will be paid in the same manner, 1 3-4 per cent on July 1, and 1 3-4 January 1, the interest dating from ; January 1, 1910. The notice signed by the [five banks Is as follows: THE AGREEMENT. | “Atlanta, Ga.. December 1, 1909 —We, the i undersigned banks, hereby notify the de- I positors in our savings departments that jafter January 1. 1910. interest on all sav |ings deposits will be paid at the rate of .3 1-2 per cent per annum. Interest paya ble July 1 and January 1 of each year. J “Atlanta National bank, by C. E. Cur j rier, president; Lowry National bank, by Robert J. Lowry, president; Fourth Na- Itfonal bank, by J. W. English, president, 'American National bank, by W. L. Peel, [president; Third National bank, by Frank Hawkins, president.” This action on the part of the bank* mentioned is not to be viewed with alarm by any one. as It is. In reality, the high est testimonial to the prosperous condi tion of the community and the state. A prosperous season, excellent weather, and sky-high cotton have combined to put more money into the hands of the public in the form of ready cash than has been there for many a year. The people of Atlanta have confidence in their financial institutions, and the banks have been literally flooded with cash deposits. All the banks that have entered Into the agreement, while not sav ings banks, maintain savings depart ments operated in connection with their business, and just now they find them selves in the position, singular enough, of possessing all the ready cash they can use. MONEY IS EASY. Not only is this true of the immediate present, but indications for the future are that money will continue , to be “easy"—that is that it will not' be hard fpr the banks to put their hands upon cash as desired without paying heavy rates of interest for it. Hence the cut. Savings banks in the proper sense, maintained and operated for tills class of financial business alone, and banking in stitutions which make a feature of their savings account departments, will not, in the nature of things, change their interest rates. The Central Bank and Trust corporation, the Georgia Savings Bank and Trust company and the Union Savings hank and other financial concerns that make a specialty of sav ings accounts will maintain the 4 per cent rate on all deposits, payable semi annually in 2 per cent dividends. At present there is approximately $28.- 000,000 on deposit in the Atlanta banks, of which at least one-fourth Is drawing 4 per cent per annum. A glance will show that $112,000 is paid out in interest on savings accounts every year—ss6,ooo at a time—is quite a sum in cash, and this naturally increases in direct ratio to the interest rate. It is understood that all other banks in the city, except the five members of the Clearing House association which have entered into the agreement to cut, will maintain the old rate of 4 per cent. OPENS FIRE ON ACTRESS AND ANOTHER MAN Restaurant Proprietor, Said to Be Jealous, Perhaps Fatal ly Wounds Miss Shapiro NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Jealousy of a man to whom his former fiancee hal transferred her affections is believed to have led Herman Klatzke, a restau rant proprietor, to a murderous at tack on the man and the girl early to day.
