THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNINO, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911. . on clidden tour Athens Will Be Represented By Three Machines Certainly, and Two More Are to Enter Soon.—L. C. Brown and Griffeth Co. Positively Listed Yesterday. (From Tuesday’s Banner.) Athena Is to be well represented on on the great (Bidden tour despite the fact that she Is not situated directly on the line of the National Highway yet. Mr. L. C. Brown of the Coca Cola Company yesterday entered at Mitch ell car he has Just purchased from tt.e Orilfeth Implement Company of Athens. The Orilfeth Implement Co. also entered a big Schacht car and will make the trip. Three cars comprise a team on tho contest tour. The third machine In the team will be the car of the St. Elmo Massengah advertising agency—the greatest ad vertising agency In the South, the Athens cars will be In mighty good company. Two other entries are expected In a day or two—one by Mr. Varner and another by Mr. Flatow. The Journal had somewhat about the Athens cars and the men who en tered them last night as follows: From the Journal. Two new entries in the Glldden came from Athens Monday, and are the first to appear on the growing en try list In credit to that city. With tlielr entrance, another team to com pete for the (Hidden trophy Is com pleted. L. C. Brown, of Athens, secretary- treasurer and general manager of the Athens Cpca Cola Bottling Company, a member of the 1910 Journal-Herald tour and one of the best sportsmen In Georgia, has entered the 1911 Gild. den as a member of the team with St. Elmo Massengale, the Atlanta adver tising man. Mr. Massengale's car, a new Garford, was entered several days ago. Mr. Brown's entry covers a Mitchell, model S, five-passenger car, a new 1912 model, close-counled body, equipped with a six-cylinder motor of 50-horsepower and costing $2,250. He purchased It through the Athens agency, for the particular purpose of entering It In the Glldden. It will be delivered to him In New York direct from the factory. 8econd-Athens Entrant. The second entrant from Athens on Monday la W. O. Orilfeth, head of the Griffeth Implement Company, of that city. His application covers a Schacht car—a new machine In this part of the country, though It has been on the market for years and Is well known In other sections, particularly on the Pacific coast The Griffeth com pany's Schacht Is a 4-cyllnder 40- horsepower, 5-passenger car, made by the Schacht Motor Company, of Cin cinnati, and costing $1,750. It Is a 1912 model, and the brand new ma chine will be delivered to Mr. Orilfeth In New York direct from the factory. Mr. Griffeth's car will be the third member of the team, with Mr. Mas- scngale's Garford and Mr. Brown’s Mitchell. The designation of the team Is yet to be decide upon and an nounced. The Griffeth Implement Company, are proving that they are a live con cern in the automobile game by enter ing this Schacht car within less than a week after they closed with the fac tory for the Georgia state agency for that make of automobile. They al ready carried the Athens agency for a couple of other makes of car, an-1 are experienced In this phase of their business therefore. They have chos en the surest method for letting all of Georgia and the south know that there is a Schacht car on the market and that they ettnt the agency for It. "We have tSvefp'conildence that the car will d|^$Bttf*te .its worth by coming ,6tough -V’Ji a perfect scoro In tbe/t<mr." sbWIOUUwv srsc** Jel trbduced joit favorably^to^Ihe aato- moblllsts of the south. The company that makes It has been manufacturing automobiles for ten years past—Just the same lentgh of time that we have been In the Implement business in Athens. They were the first automo bile concern to build side-entrance doors on their cars. They are pion eers In several other features of auto mobile manufacturing. They havo been In the business long enough to know how to combine excellence of production with comparative cheap ness of cost Mr. Griffeth’s entry makes the third brand-new car In a brand-new toam. Mr. Massengale’s Garford end Mr. Brown's Mitchell will, like Mr. Grif feth’s Schacht, be delivered at New York direct from the factory. For Development’s Bake. Mr. Brown’s application was for warded by him to Chairman 8. M. Butler, of the contest board, at New York. “Appreciating the fact that there isn’t anything that has done so much for building np the country and devel oping good roads as the tours Inaugu rated by the Atlanta Journal and the New York Herald, and being anxious to see this development continue, I am entering the Glldden tour,” says he, In a lettej to the Journal, written when he signed his entry Saturday, “Being bo unfortunate In the Jour nal-Herald tour of 1910," he contin ues, naively, "as to come in contact with an Iron bridge at Lleman’s Place, Pa., I expect to leave a good margaln between the sides of this bridge and my car on this trip, and to check In at Jacksonville at the end of the run within less than an hour nnd a half after the pacemaker arrives. Mr. Brown's statement Just quoted demonstrates two facts—first, that he believes In the law of compensation and Is banking on double-crossing his former bad luck with another make of car by reversing the direction of his tour; and second, that be Is ex perienced enough as tonrlst to stay well back behind the pacemaker and escape the dust and confusion inci dent to riding In the close company of that official's car. It demonstrates another thing, suf ficiently manifested In the 1910 tour to satisfy all who took part In that memorable run—l.e., that Mr. Brown is a gnme sportsman. A Hoodoo's Pursuit. His pursuit by a relentless hoodoo on the 1910 run, and bis constantly beaming smile upon the hoodoo, are two of the salent recollections of that somewhat heroic tour. Beginning almost at Buckhead at the very start of the tour, the hoodoo was unceas ingly nt work upon Mr. Brown’s brand new car. The hoodoo first tried a succession of punctures. A few blowouts next varied the monotony. Then a spring or two broke under the heavy strain of trying to overcome the delay al ready sustained by tho car. And In the effort to make up this additional lost time as well as the original delay, something else went wrong. It was not the car's fault It was not the party's fault. It was unalloyed, bad luck. • ” Night and day, and day and night from the time they left Atlanta until they were bowling along a macadam pike near Philadelphia, Mr. Brown and his party battled with the hoodoo, sleeping a few minutes out of every 24 hours nnd riding and working the rest of the time. After the tour left Anderson, S. C„ the majority of the contestants never saw Mr. Brown's and the enr hit the side of an Iron after an all-night drive, Just In tlmo tc check in and out again at the rear end of the day's starters. He and his party really did horolc work In get ting their car through the three-da v storm and upon the last high road In to New York. Wrecked at Last. Then, Just before Mr. Brown's par ty arrived within sight of Philadelphia the fagged and utterly wearied driver miscalculated by a couple of Inches car again. He would usually arrive, bridge and was wrecked there. Mr. Brown and his party left the wreck nnd rode by train Into Philadelphia— where "the doc" smiled like a rising sun upon bis clamorous and cheering fellow-tourlsta and swore he was still having the tliw of his life. Did Mr. Brown take the "never- again" pledge? Not he. He said, then, that he must be counted upon as an entrant In the very next tour. And now, 15 months later, here he Is with the entry. It reminds one of Goldberg's car- toonic argument that "they always come back for more"—except that the doc" is going to wear a rabbit's foot In his pocket this time. And If that teasing, fickle goddess, Fortune, h“'“"-iks hAlf as much of "the doc's" I dlan, .®«3ss ability to see the bright ins or dm fortune, as bis feIIow*tour* iztg iolHte. 1910 run think of those qualities, she will make up for her former rather rough treatment and see that even if only one perfect score is mado In the 1911 Glldden, Mr. Brown makes that score.

Nothing Talked of in Atlanta Now But New City Char ter Plan Atlanta, Sept. 18.—When the aver age Atlantan opens his newspaper these days looking for news, about the only thing that greets his eyes are headlines something like these: “Grand Rally Saturday night for New Charter." “First ward citizens hold meeting, to oppose charter.” "Why the new charter should be adopted,” and so on' almost ad in finitum. In fact, so far as would appear from the newspapers, there Is nothing else going on. It la charter, charter, char ter for breakfast, supper and every other men!. It Is talked on the street corners, in the restaurants, at home. In the clubs and even In business of fices. There Is nothing like apathy float ing around. Everybody Is lined up on one side of the charter or the oth er, and If therq Is foundation for the claims of both sides, then the line-up Is so closely drawn that It will be difficult to predict the result until af ter the election. The fight over the charter Is fully as lively ns was any race for mayor In which various elements combined to keep Jim Woodward out of the mayor's office. Both sides are well organized, have headquarters and are distributing campaign literature by the bushel nnd tho carload. City officials are handing out anti-charter literature at the city hall.

Is publicly construed by both sides to mean victory: bow they vteif it pri vately, they have not let out But men like former Mayor Robert F. Maddox who hare gone over the situation, express the firm conviction that the new charter Is going to win. Both sides are making a thorough canvass of the city and getting a line on every voter.

SHACKELFORD TAKES COMMISSION (Special to the Banner.) Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—Thomas J. Shackelford was this afternoon sworn lu by Gov. Hoke Smith as Judge of the city court-of Athens. He received his commission. This he considers offic ially constituting him Judge of the city court of Athens, a position trill held by Jurge H. S. Went, whose term has expired, on the grounds that Mr. Shackelford’s appointment was not confirmed by the senate and that therefore no vacancy; occurred. Before coming to Atlanta today Mr. Shackelford, gas Informally notified by Judge C. H. Brand that Judge West bad applied to him for an Injunction to prevent Mr. Shackelford from tak ing the office under the commission of the governor. Judge Brand bns set the matter for a hearing on next Saturday In Athens. Mr. Shackelford stated today that he was undecided ns yet whether be will rest his case upon the Injunction proceedings which Judge West has in stituted or would Institute himself quo warranto proceedings for tbs pur pose of ousting Judge West from ths office. The contentions of Jndge West tad Judge Shackelford are well known, hinging altogether on the senaWfe failure to confirm the governor'! ap pointment of Mr. Shackelford.

Mr. Shackelford will return to Athens at once and be gin preparations to meet the injunc tion case before Judge Brand. Biggest Cotton Producing Land Brings Material For Many Miles It seems strange to see the greatest cotton producing country of the world bringing raw cotton half way around the globe and importing It tar use in her own manufacturing Industrie*. It Is nevertheless a fact that ths United States, which produces practically two-thirds of the world's cotton, brought from China during the laat fiscal year (1911) more than 9 million pounds of raw cotton, at a coat In tLat country of more than one mil lion dollar* and from India In 1910 about 5 1-2 million pound*, at a val uation of more than a half million dollar*. Other distant sections of the world were also drawn upon—Peru, 4 3-8 million pounds in 1911; Dntch East Indies, In 1909, nearly a half mil lion pound*; Haiti in 1911, nearly a half million pounds, while other con tributors Include Venezuela, Ecuador, British West Indies, Santo Domingo, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, while from EgypL the chief source of supply of long stapled, high grade cotton, the Imports In 1911 were larger than In any oariler year, amounting to 88 million pounds, (n addition to this tbero was Imported from England about 7 1-2 million pounds, presumably chiefly East In dian, Egyptian and West African, sloes England, of course, produces no cotton. Raw cotton Importation! In 1911 were larger than In any earlier year, amounting to 113,78(8,318 pounds, valued at $24,776,320. High pries* of domestic cotton are the cause of the large Increase In Im portation of cotton, especially that from China and India. The quantity of cotton Imported from China reach ed a quarter of a million poundi prior to 1908, and In 1909 was practically 1 1-2 million pounds, In 1910 4 1-2 mil lion and la 1911, 9 million pounds. From *ndla the quantity Imported-sel dom reached a half million pound! prior to 1908, In which year the total was over three-quarteri of a million pound*; In 1910, 5 1-2 and In 1911, 2 1-2 million*. The Chlneie and In dian cottone are aa u rule of ehortor ataple than that of the United States, and as a consequence are rated pt a ■omewhat lower price In the world's markets, a fact which account* tar the large growth In the Importation of these cotton* in the recent years In which American cotton bae command ed exceptionally high price*. On the other hand, Egyptian cotton which in of longer ataple, higher quality, and therefore higher In price than that of the .United States, still forms a large proportion of the Imports, the quantity Imported direct from Egypt" In 1911 being 88 million pounds out of a total of 114 million pounds Im ported In that year, and ita vain* 20 1-2 million dollar*, out of the 24 8-4 million dollara worth ot cotton Im ported. Cotton Importation has shown a steady If not rapid growth, especially during ths last 20 years. Prior to the civil war the quantity imported seldom reached more than one mil lion pounds per annum. During ths war the quantity Imported was quite large, ranging as high as 38 million poundi In 1885, but dropping to 6 mil lion pounds In 1886 and less than 1 million In 1867. By 1870 ths total Im portation of cotton was 18-3 million pounds; In 1880, 3 1-2 millions; In 1390, 81-2 millions; In 1900, «7 mil lions; In 1910, 86 millions and In 1911, 113 3-4 million pounds.
