“Twenty Cent Cotton”
Ijwt night’s papers had headlines which j
read after above fashion because the spec- j
ulators have at last discovered the Im-,
mense shortage in the cotton crop of
1909 •
When the war closed in IS® cotton sold ,
for a while at 30 cents a pound, and com-,
iron calico at 50 cents a yard, but it didst,
stay at those figures very long. 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

and see if she couldn't do something to
make a good living and not feel depend
ent on matrimony as her only chance, j
I am ready to say that a woman who (
lias married' from affection and found a '
worthy husband is the happiest of wo- j
men, but I do not forget at the same
time that single-blessedness is a long
sight ahead of wedding misery, and a
woman must be courted with a full un
derstanding that mistake may be possi
ble when she agrees for better and for
worse to bind herself to a man's fortunes,
all of which fortunes are yet in the fu
ture. She may love him “fit to kill

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.

ATLANTA BANKS CUT
SAVINGS DEPOSIT RATE
Because of the large amount of ready
money that is in the hands of the people
of this section, and t,hat Is being deposited
in the banking Institutions of this city
In the form of savings accounts, five of
the banking houses of Atlanta have
agreed to cut the rate on savings depos
es from 4 to 3 1-2 per cent per an
num.
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.

Sell Your Fur Ini
The North
Sell your fur in the market. Send your
fur where it is used. We are located in
a small town within a few miles of Can
ada and New York city, the world's great
est fur markets. We own our plant and
run on very small expense. We get as
much for our fur when we sell as dealers
in northern cities, but having low ex
penses are in a position to pay from 10 to
30 per cent more than such dealers. Deal
ers in southern cities such as Baltimore,
St. Txiuis. Memphis or New Orleans sell
their fur to dealers in northern cities. If
you sell your fur to dealers in southern
towns and cities you don’t get as much
for it as even dealers in northern cities
would pay you. If you sell to dealers
in northern cities you get 10 to 30
per cent less than we pay. Get
wise. Send today— now—for our big.
free, illustrated catalogue, trappers’ guide
