The agricultural high school for tho

There wero only threo bids before
the board, nil three of them being
from tho county of Putnam. Tho
board did not think tho bids carried
that at least nliTc hours of actual farm
work per week is required, and for this
work the students are to be paid 10

land and the money subscribed by
the citizens and county, a total of $13,-

Eatonton's offer was the same as
that of Willard's, plus $3,000.
Tho trustees were of the opinion
that tlio bids were not high enough,
and It Is also stated that Franklin
and Morgan counties desire a little
more time In which to prepare their
bids. Bostwlck will make a bid, but
was not ready yesterday.

Mr. Smith, of the United States De

statement to the board as to tho soil
of tho several tracts of land that has
been offered. He declared that all of
the tracts measured up to tho re

BY W FLAMES
And the Household Effects
of Mr. White Also
Destroyed.
Are Urged to Market Their
Cotton More Slowly
Until Prices Reach
Higher Figures.
The principal depressing factor In
tbe cotton market at this time Is the
too rapid selling of the staple by form
ers and merchants. All kinds of mis*
leading and exaggerated reports re
garding the congestion ot cotton at
compresses and Interior points are he*
lng wired all over Europe and this
country for the purpose of depressing
prices. It cannot be denied that the
movement ot the crop to market dur
ing the past thirty days has been on
too extensive a scale to maintain e
stable market at profitable and satis
factory prices to the growers.
Big crop Ideas have been exploded
by Indisputable facts. This crop will
not be large enough to supply the enor
mous demands of the cotton trade dur
ing the next twelvo months. The
prices of cotton goods In nil lines are
weekly advancing. It Is due entirely
to the existence of a "bearish” specu
lative market, strengthened by the too
rapid selling of spot cotton which is
forcing down prices below a fair profit
able basis. This unwarranted and Ille
gitimate violation ot the true laws ot
supply and demand will contlnno until
spot holders strengthen their position
by a slower movement ot the staple to
market
There Is hut one course to pursue at
this time to bring about normal condi
tions. Store every bale of cotton un
der suuu anu safe protection, which
can be possibly held, either on the
farm or in local warehouses. Higher
praam are sure to ho realized If the
crop Is marketed intelligently. The
present price of cotton Is too low.
Every farmer In the South should re
sist to tbe last ditch the present ef
fort to hammer down tho market for
purely speculative purposes. Every
banker and merchant In the 8outh
should exert their utmost to assist the
farmers In fighting the "bearish" spec
ulative cotton trade.
Leading farmers, merchants and
growing counties throughout the cot
ton belt should call the people to
gether In public meetings at once In
their respective communities and In
augurate an effective campaign for
tlelng up the crop until prices ora
once more placed on a satisfactory bn-
sir.. Act promptly and effectively. It
Is tho wisest and safest step to take
at this time. Stop tho rapid movement
ot cotton and the speculative ele
ment will bo powerless to depress the
market
