COTTON PLANTERS j
ARE AGAIN WARNED.)
Strong Appeal 8«nt Out Today by
Pre.ident Johnson.
Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga„ April 16.—In addition
to the fact that the price of cotton,
the coining season, will depend large
ly upon the acreage planted through
out the cotton states, the labor prob
lem this year has assumed a more
serious phase than ever before, and
the time has come when the farmer
must figure more carefully on this ele
ment In estimating the cost of produc
tion. President M. L. Johnson, of the
Georgia division, Southern Cotton
/
Association, calls particular attention
to thiB feature In a statement Issued
today to the farmers of Georgia.
President Johnson says:
“I feel It my duty now more than
ever to warn the farmers of Georgia
against overplanting, against planting
In cotton that land which you know
from experience to be unprofitable,
land which will yield you no return
for the Investment of labor and capi
tal, for the time has come when this,
class of land Is going to be more ex
pensive’ than It has ever been before.
If you have land which yielded you no
return last year, or upon which you
planted at a loss, you will lose more
this year If you plant that same land
In cotton. .
“From all parts of the Btate there
have come to me reports of a^greater
scarcity of labor than has ever before
been known. The Bltuatlon, so far as
the farmer 1b concerned, has grown
worse "Instead of Improving. It has
almoBt reached the point where It Is
not a question of the amount of wages
paid, but of getting sufficient labor at
any price whatever within reason. It
Is needless for me to point out what
the consequences of this will be. The
planter who seeureB the necessary la
bor to hoe and cultivate that acreage
which has heretofore proven profit
able, will he fortunate Indeed. Is It
not apparent, therefore, that the plant
ing of any heretofore unprofitable
acreage will prove a greater loss than
has yet been experienced from It?
Here, then, nre two reasons why all
poor and unprofitable land should be
cut out: In the first place, the very
planting of It. will affect the market
price of your crop to your disadvan
tage, and In the second place It wjll
cost yon more to make cotton on It
than ever before.
“I have noticed In my travels over
.the state In the Interests of the asso
ciation that some farmers have with
wise foresight met these conditions
and nre not planting their poor land In
cotton. Have you done likewise? It
■ Is to your own interest to do so. Let
me appenl to you to do It.
“M. L. JOHNSON,
"President Georgia Division Southern
Cotton Association.” 1

BRITISH SPINNERS
VISIT ATLANTA.
Will Tour the South to Familiarise
Themselves With Labor Feature.
Special to The Herald. \
Atlanta, Gn., April 1G.—A party of
British spinners who nre In this coun
try to study condition In the cotton
belt, will arrive In Atlanta tomorrow
morning. They will be met by a .spec
ial committee from the chamber of
commerce, and will receive every at
tention while here. The Britons came
to America for the express purpose of
attending a convention of cotton man
ufacturers which Is to be held In
Washington next month. In the mean
time they nre making a tour of the
south to familiarize themselves with
the lnbor of preparing the great staple
for the market. They have expressed
the opinion that the cotton sent to
England Is not properly handled, and
will doubtless make some recommen
dations to the Washington convention
along that line. The visitors also rep
resent a syndicate ot Englishmen
which proposes to purchase vast tracts
of land in the south for the purpose of
raising cotton for British use. Th|
land is to he cultivated by Englt:
colonists. Just what report the spin
ners will make regarding this proposi.
tion Is not known.

Wlioie Key Unlocked the Drawer!
Here Is a true story told by a doctor.
ThlB doctor bad a patient, a brother,
physician, who was 111 of a disease no
one has ever cured yet. The sick man
realized that his case was hopeless,
and be knew, too, that before, he died
4e would go through horrible convul
sions. He begged blB friend to kill
him In order to spare bis wife the
sight of anything so Unforgettably hid
eous, and the physician, bound by bis
code of ethics, refused. The sick man
begged bis wife to let him have his re
volver, but she refused. The physi
cian locked tile drawer of tho^ bureau
In which It lay and gave the wife the
key. Two days later the sick man
shot himself, and the revolver be used
was Ills own. He bad unlocked the
drawer. ,
“We found the key In It," said the
doctor. “It was not the one I had
given to the wife. I took It, and when
I had a chance I went quietly luto the
room occupied by the man’s mother.
The key exactly fitted the lock of her
bureau. That’s all I know, except that
the mother came out of*the house with
her bonnet and cloak on two minutes
before her son shot himself.’’—Wash

Half Deaf People.
“If you arc deaf In one ear,” said the
boilermaker, “I don’t care about giv
ing you a Job.”
“Why?" asked the applicant.
“Because you cau't tell what direc
tion sounds come from; hence In a
place like this you would be In great
danger."
“IIow do you know I can’t tell whut
direction sounds come from?" tbe ap
plicant demanded.
“No person deaf In one ear,” replied
the boilermaker, "can do so. A man
deaf In ouc ear will look behind him
If a gun goes oft on his right. Ho will
took up In the air If a child shrieks at
his feet. He will look wildly in front
of him If a locomotive whistles in his
rear. A boiler shop Is no place for
such a man."
"I knew I was like this,” said the
applicant, “lint I didn’t know nil half
deaf people were.”
“They all are," said the boilermaker,
"and my shop is no place for them."—

All n Matter of Donbt Anyway.
A young man from the south who a
few years (go was so fortunate ns to
be enabled (to enter tbe law ofilces of
n well known New York firm was first
Intrusted with n very simple case. He
was nskod by the late James O. Carter,
then, a member of the firm, to give an
opinion In writing. When this was
submitted It was observed by Mr. Car
ter that, with the touching confidence
of a neophyte, the young southerner
had begun with the expression, “I am
clearly of opinion."
When this caught his eye he smiled
and said:
"My dear young friend, never state
that you are clearly of opinion on a
law point. The most you can hope to
discover is the preponderance of the
doubt.”—Success.

When I was a very little boy, writes

raphy, my grandfather, who was then
undersecretary for Ireland, took me to
the chief secretary’s room ih Dublin

Lord Melbourne.
After I had been with him for some
little time he said, "Now, my boy, Is
there any tiling here you would like?”
"Yes,” I answered, pointing to a
very inrge stick of sealing wax.
“That’s right,” said Lord Melbourne,

Omcnn of Bricklayers,
Bricklayers believe It la unlucky to
lay the top brick nt the north corner of
a building. Some of them would lose
a day’s pay rather than Impav'l their
future by doing such a piece of work.
A bricklayer often bricks up in the
hollow of a wall a horseshoe with a
cent tied to It. This lie does for good
luck. To lay the first and last brick of
any building but a church brings good
luck'to the bricklayer. Churches are
the luckiest buildings to work on; the
aters are the unluckiest. It Is bad luck
to break a trowel.—New York Press.
