realise as security. This Is no more
than fair, and Is an easy method of
obtaining further credit. The banks,
however, do not care to renow the
obligations, unless the cotton Is
stored In a warehouse, and the re
ceipt taken for security. This also
Is a fair proposition, In view of the
low price of cotton and the sacri
fice which It would entail upon the
farmer, If disposed of at the present
market price.
We hope that conditions will im
prove rapidly. The farmer Is op
against It—to use a common ex
pression—and his credit Is In the
balance. He must hypothecate Ills
cotton in order to secure further ex
tension. If he does not, and allows
the hank or the fertilizer man to
carry his paper without further
guarantee, he materially Injures his
credit for the future. The farmer Is
beginning to realize this and It Is no
wonder that the warehouses are all
taxed to their capacity.
THE NEWSPAPER AND THE

If there was less talking end more

the last rose rf summer, to a fellow

years have passed away.
We are going to have a Jam-up,

The value of a live, energetic news

are so many ways that the news

Is a question on which every man in
Georgia should exercise Ills fran

views. In some cases, It Is almost
essential to good government that

Tbe other Is an extension of the

COTTON Sill III HI
Atlanta, Oct. 2.—Atlanta society
folk danced until daybreak this
morning at the Cotton Ball, given at
the Piedmont Driving Club. It was
the unique affair of the season and
attracted much attention.
Four hundred guests were dressed
only cotton clothing, the silks and
satins of other days being shelved
for the occasion. Some of the cos
tumes were as expensive as silk,
however, and all were odd.
Colonel Robt. J. Lowry, the noted
banker who celebrated his golden
wedding, several years ago, was
crowned King Cotton. Mr. James
Nunnally, noted as the best and
most indifatigable dancer In Atlanta

rics though cut by a fashionable
tailor. The decorations were cotton
blooms and the prize offered the best
dancer was a bale of cotton.
