THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING,
FEBLRUARY 3, 1911.
Will Not Have to Wait
Longer Than Possibly
February 10 To Get
Their Money.
Atlanta, Jan. 28.—Confederate vet
erans, not only in Atlanta, but all
over the state, are no little put out as
the result of the delay in the distribu
tion of the pension fund, the result it
seems, of a misunderstanding between
the governor and the pension commis-
, sioner as to just when the pension
rolls would be ready for the drawing
of the warrant.
When it was announced that f
trnor Brown was ready to draw-
warrant on January 17 for the total
pension fund, many of the veterans
interpreted this as the announcement
of the day for paymet and called
the office of the ordinary. Some
them here in Atlanta went up to the
capitol to see about it. They soon
found out their error—that the gov
ernor's readines did not mean the
day of payment was at hand.
When the governor made this an
nouncement, Pension Commissioner
W. IJndsey, said in effect, the former
was too previous; that he could not
possibly get ready to pay pensions
before February 1, and possibly not
for several days thereafter.
Thereupon Governor Brown, know
ing the teachers of the state were
waiting for their money, and being
satisfied that the treasury would
recouped by the time Capt. Lindsey
got ready for pension payments, drew
a warrant for some 1700,000 in favor
of the teachers.
•In the meantime Captain Lindsey
bad gotten busy and had things
shape nearly a week earlier than he
.thought he would. On Thursday, Feb
ruary 26, he announced he had com
pleted his part of the work and re
ported to the governor that he was
ready for the pension check for the
whole amount $1,114,684.
It developed at that time, however,
that the fund In the treasury had fal
len considerably below that figure,
and as the whole warrant had
drawn at once, there was nothing
do but wait until the treasury could
come to the scratch.
How soon this happy state will
reached depends upon the rapidity
with which the tax collectors over the
state send In their remittances. The
Indication are, however, that It will be
the latter part of next week before
the money Is all there; and, that be
ing the case, It will be almost Impos
sible to get out the checks until the
first of the week following.
And In the meantime, as stated, vet
erans everywhere almost feel like go
ing to war again on account of the de
lay, They are writing cards telling
how they need the money most Just
at this time of the year because of
the cold weather, and they want it
badly. From present Indications they
can easily count on having the money
In their hands by February 10, If not
a day or two earlier.
REMARKABLE
l> Cotton Seed Meal For a Feed
For Cattle, Says Dr. Soule
of Athens.
Atlanta, Ga,, Jan. 28.—"A Remark
able By-Product" is the subject ot
most timely and Interesting article
which baa Just been written by Dr,
A. M. Soule, president of the State
College of Agriculture, In which he
pays high and deserved tribute to the
value and uses ot cotton seed meal
Dr, Soule writes on this subject as
follows:
"A ton of high-grade cotton seed
meal contains about 140 pounds of
nitrogen, of 150 pounds of ammonia
which at 18 cents a pound would bo
worth $25.50; 50 pounds of phosphoric
acid, at 6 cents, which would
worth $2.40, or a total of $30.10 per
ton. There Is no other concentrate on
the market .which approaches cotton
seed meal In fertilizing value, linseed
meal being Its nearest rival.
"As linseed meal contains consul
erably less p:rotein to commence with,
and as a ru e costs as much If not
more per ton than cotton seed meal
It is worth considerably less from
cither the standpoint of a foodstuff or
a fertilizer than the latter. Thus, the
high fertilizing value of cotton seed
meal Is a matter of concern, not only
to the feeder of live stock, but to the
farmer who must purchase something
to use as a basis ot commercial fer
tilizer for his exhausted land.
“There la another point which It
Is probably well to make clear at this
time, and In tact, It cannot be em
phasized too frequently or too strong-
'!y because of the large amount of
cotton seed meal used as fertilizer.
A good many seem to have the Idea
that It cotton seed meal Is first fed
to lire stock only a comparatively
amall amount of the mineral constltu-
enta will be available as plant food.
This Is an erroneous idea, for from
•0 to 96 per cent of the fertilizing con
stituents will be voided In the case
of beef cattle, and from TO to 80 per
coot la tbo case of dairy cows.
."There la no reason under ordinary
methods of farm practice why at least
76 per cent of the fertilizing value
RE WE RIGHT.' Some ladies came to our Suit and Dress Department the past week
and quoted prices which we advertised the previous week. No suit or dress was adver
tised at reduced prices for the week just ended. These customers took exception at the stand
we took—that when we advertise a price for one day. it means one day, and if we advertise a
price for one week, it does not mean two weeks. In all fairness—are we right? Michael’s.

farmers more generally realize that
It cotton seed meal were fed in con
