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.

John Moon, as active and sprightly as a cat, was the laddtr man.'It was said of him that be fore the team could get the lad der from the trucks Johnny Moon was at the top and before it was pKaccd on the building lie was coming down.

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 ’ ntial trie Railway convention here.

It will not stain. that the camp for “Tin Can" tour ists would be more desirable else where than on the <?ify hall lot; but since it seems to t be the o place provided for such purposes by the city authorities, my sug- | gestion was that the lane leading Into the lot should be paved In order that the danger of a break down of automobiles through tho present entrance might bo a vomit.

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.
