Atlanta, Sept. 22.—That “buy-a-
bale’ movement has outgrown all
expectations In its spread and al
ready its results are being stron ly
shown. Spot cotton, selling at less
than eight cents on the day tne
movement was begun, was quoted in
Atlanta yesterday at 9 cents, and a
number of sales were made at that
figure, these being plain business
deals, with no sentiment attached.
A committee representing Atlanta
automobile dealers left Atlanta to
day for Detroit, and other impor
tant auto manufacturing centers, to
urge manufacturers to Join In the
movement and buy cotton at ten
cents a pound.
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company, of Atlanta, the big public
utilities company, has bought ten
bales through the local committee.
“1 consider it a fine patriotic
movement, and one which will do a
great deal for the South,” said an
official of the company. “We are
glad of the opportunity to purchase
ten bales.”
The “buy-a-bale” buttons have ar
rived and are being seen on many
coat lapels. They are, by the way,
the most expensive buttons ever put
out in such quantities, each costing
the owner fifty dollars—the price of
one bale at ten cents.
Every person who expects to
make on exhibit at Fair must notify
the Secretary at least 3 days before
the date of Fair, to secure space.
6. All exhibitors must deliver
their exhibits for display to the
Committee at Paradise Park, from
6 to 10 o’clock during the morning

7. The Fair Association does
everything it can to protect exhibits,
will have policemen to guard at
night, hut in no case will It he re

Objections to any person serv
ing as a judge must be submitted
to the Superintendent of the Depart
ment in writing prior to making any
awards, giving good and sufficient
reasons therefor, and the Superin
tendent shall report the matter im
mediately to the General Manager.
Any exhibitor attempting to
interfere with the judgeg during
their adjudication will be promptly
excluded from the competition.
