■' THE DOORS OF BATTERY PARK CLOSED
The doors of Battery Park have closed n"ver to
! re-open. The grand old hotel, one of the pioneers
k of the South, is now a memory. Many an interesting
f reminiscence or romantic episode will be told of as
I occurring within its hospitable walls or on its broad
I verandas but the visitor that goes to Asheville,ex-
! pecting to see the place where so muoh of interest
l ‘ _ has trpnspired will be confronted with newer and
r grander structure perhaps, but the frafcant memo-
V ries of Battery Park of the olden days will not be
present
t Col. Frank Coxe’s vision of a great tourist hotel
that would attract the best class from the four cor
ners of the Globe, led him to transform his fancy
into reality and Battery Park was his creation. A
conch-and-four in true English style, which was the
f delight of the younger set was a part of Battery
Parks equipment. Col. Coxe generally took charge
of these driving parties, and if Governor Zeb Vance
was along nothing else was wanting.
Old i Zeb and young Zeb were both prime favo
rites, either wa3 the life of which ever party they
happened in. Asheville at this time divided honors
•" •with White Solpher, with -the longer saasotv -favog-u.

, ... j OCTOBER, DEBT-PAYING MONTH
■** FY(5ni time iiamomorable October was the one
mont/T of the year which wus designated as debt-
paying time. That was during the days of . one
^B§5p-£cotton, but since the farmers have learned to
" diversify and grow a crop of some kind every month
in thiyear there is no need of so much time busi-
ners between merchants, bankers and farmera. The
cotton crop in days gone by was looked forward to
by both merchants and farmers. It was the only
reaihfmoney crop this section'of the country enjoyed.
| ‘^Cotton was picked, ginned and sold; the merchant
was paid for back rations and winter clothes and
shoes fought for the family and a good time was en
joyed by the farmer until spring-time nnd planting
time rolled around again. But in this day and time
it is different; the farmer is a buay man every month
I'Jb 'the year; it requires as much time and system to
fcJHftmst the cropc successfully as it does to conduct
any other kind of business. Instead of buying on
! credit and settling up in October each year, the
j farmer is independent of the seasons and his by-pro
duct.-,, bring enough to him during the year to more
> then live off of and whatever his cotton crop amounts
r to is it surplus. Times have changed and the
ayrit dltural interests of the country are rapidly
r Saining importance and the educated man and the
§,-business man is entering this line of industry in
nee to commercial enterprise*. Agricultural
s have become the backbone of the nation and
— _jeir continued development and diversifica-
F" tion .finerica will hold the title of the richest country
tto theT world.
8hou,<1 fae no settling up time as in days of
old. yhere is no occasion for such a system of busi
ness eider the reconstruction period in agricultural
j. Every farmer should be able to produce ,
■ money crop of some kind for each month in
pr which would provide him an income the
J* the merchant and banker receives from his
uine of business. Credit is a menace to the country
and epuses the ruin and failure of more men than
-$m any other source. The sooner the credit system
jb&oajisned and every line of business placed on a
basis thje sooner will this country experience a
era of prosperity which will be lasting and

that the camp for “Tin Can" tour

where than on the <?ify hall lot;
but since it seems to t be the o

Into the lot should be paved In

“Did It ever occur to you that
there are some people who do not
agree with you that the city hall

tourists. Especially Is this true
of those who live near by and have
to view thefr clothes hanging out
to dry, to smell their mealg cook
ing, and even at times to have
cleaned up the trash they leave
behind.
“If you will accept a suggestion
in place of your’s, why not let
the city spend the money that it
would, take for paving the drive- .
way to the city hall lawn, and use t T ^® ary ;, A ,. t , .

USED AR3ENATE
IN FIGHT
Tho district of which Bprrpvr,
Clsrke, Gwinett, Jackson, Oconee
and Walton are a part used a large
amount of calcium arsenate; the
season was fairly favorable; and
tho farmers but up u terrific fight
for their cotton. Consequently, they
estimate that they will produce 10
per cent more cotton than last
year, in spite of the very material
reduction in acreage. The produc
tion in this area will probably
against 72,000 last year.
In the' northeast section,
range between 80,00 aOnd 86,000
eluding Banks, Elbert, Franklin,
Hart, ( Habersham, Lincoln, Mad!
son, Oglethorpe. Wilkes, 70 per
arsenate. Tho weevil damage was
cent of the farmers used calcium
less than last year, and the {sea
sonal conditions were most favor-
ah)e. ; As a result the present prom
ise Is for 10,000 to 16,000 more
hales than they prouced last year
on an acreage considerably small.
With an Increase of more
than a million dolars In the
value of creamery butter alone
during the last two years nnjl
a corresponding > development
in cheese and Ice cream produc
tion, the dairy Industry bids
fair to displace cotton to a
large extent In Georgia Is the
belief of Dr. Milton P. Jarnagin,;
Animat Husbandman at the/
State College of Agriculture.
In 1921 the value of creamery
butter produced In the state
waV less than $$>,000. In 1922
the value of the output of
creameries jumped to 1750,000,
and in 192S It will be about
31.500,000, according to Dr.
Jarnigan who is of the opinion
that the industry will grow pro-
poitionately for sometime.
“There is no danger of an
over-production In any phase
of the dairy industry,” hp said,
“because we are importing into,
the state each year many , ,
times as much as we are pro; - j ‘ .
ducing. Too, dairying gives a • *
direct cash return, and the far
mer has twenty-foqr pn*y days
a year, with a greater oasur-
nnce of the check’s arriving
than with cotton. ,
“The farmers who patronize
the cheese tactoriqp nnd cream*
eries are getting good returns,”
continued Dr. Jarnagin, “and
- "and find that the income from
them Is a good supplement to
other crops. At the prenem
time Georgla-mhde cheese Is
placed on the mark it nt tho
price of Wisconsin cheese plus
the freight from thftt state V.’re.
One cheese factory Is ’ paying
its patrons at the rata of fifty-
two centa per pound for butto-
fal which is tto-u sevst to nJ«*»
cents above the Chimes stand
ard. . ..
“There nre now sixteen
creameries In the northern half
of the atate, and this.*? e/xpugh.,
With the railroads sarrylnR f
cream a• baggage, whlcfi , is
lower, than freight rates, there
'h a creamery In reach of ev- .
cry farmer now. If, more factor j
lea are .built it will .cause'com
petition „am® n ir them, but!,will,,
■not create a larger marko; for',
the dUtput." ,. .
Dr. Jarnagin, believes there
is plenty of room for ex pah *
rlon of the cheese manufdctur-
inK industry Inasmuch tus._ i
initial cost is not mo*e 1 than"
$1600 supported by less than a *
hundred cows; whereas the In
vestment in a creamery Is
nbcut 115.000, requiring about
five hundred cows. He stnted
that there waa a possibility of
o cheese factory every *lx nillea
In north Georgia.
Tho value of home raised
feeds was strongly emphasized
by Dr. Jarnagin, 'stating that
ninety per cent, of the failures
In the dairy industry were
caused by farmers not raising
sufficient feed to maintain tho
hord.
