SECRETS EXPOSED ‘
|| ' ’; Some one finally £ays a pood word for the ex-kaiser. The
“some one” is Sir Basil Thomson, former head of Scotland Yard
detectives. Thomson, now lecturing in America, and revealing
“inside stuff” of !the British secret service, says: “The (German)
general staff had resolved upon the invasion of Belgium and they
j>ut their plans before the kaiser. He vetoed them. “This sit
uation: continued for 48 hours and after the general staff had
l. issued the orders for the army to advnace, Von Moltke went to
the kgirser’s bedroom at 2 in the morning and asked him to sign <
f ■ the order. He refused. Von Moltke thcj» said that the safety
Iff; bf 1 the' fatherland had devolved upon the general staff and, ‘If
your Majesty refuses to sign, the general staff must take the re-
HP- sponsibility.’” “In other words” according to Thomson, “the
P , kaiser v must choose between abdication and approval, and he took
Ijj- the. litter course.” Thomson’s lecture, instead of absolving the •
ex-kaiser from guilt, distributes the guilt to the shoulders of
i mqny,> Bill included.
-melodramatic picture of the death of Rasputin, “sacred
‘i* devil of Russia,” is given by Thomson. Rasputin, taken to a
IT; pafac^’/basement dining hall, was giVen a bottle of poisoned wine
||: thathad be’en tried out on a dog. Rasputin, when the poison got
to hijtyj breathed heavily and foamed at the mouth, but showed
no Signs of dying. So Prince Youssapov, when Rasputin stag
gered at him, gave him a shot out of a pistol, “and the monk felf
backwards with a terrible cry.” A doctor called in, examined the
body *and pronounced it dead. Later Youssapov approached the
corpse and “put his hand under the robe to feel the heart-
It seemed to be still, when suddenly Rasputin sat up and seized
him by the throat.” Youssapov escaped. Rasputin staggered to
the dpor, out into the snow. Three more pistol shots brought him
down;r.-.But it took a bludgeon to finish the work. He died hard.
. You &0 not wonder, Youssapov decided that Rasputin was the
devil lymself. '
Sir Basil Thomson thus adds a few more pages to tile “inside
bistogj” of the World War, already contributed to so heavily by
! Hohenzollem, Lloyd <?eorge, Franklin K. Lane and others,

\ contrary to custom, for diplomats usually leave their

(BY T. LARRY GANTT.)
I yesterday had a talk with one
of the best informed men on the
cotton situation in our city or
State. He has given much thought
and consideration to the matter,
and whatever he says carries
weight with it.
In speaking of the needs of the
farmers he said that the Banner

f Southern newspapers that have
had the courage to tell the truth
about the.condition of our. farmers
and advise what is best foT them.

CRAWFORD W. LONG STATUE
t gratifying to know that after nearly a quarter of a cen-
telay, Georgia is at last to be represented in the National
Hall at Washingto nwith a statue of* one of her two
tingushed sons, Dr. Crawford W. Long, discoverer of
fcia.
flJi-T •Jfig Crawford W. Long Memorial Association has been formed
;*• ^tb*accomplish that wliich the Georgfh Legislature has failed to do. *
tweHty y e ars ago, the president of the United States
^ asked^Georgia to designate her two most distinguished sons and
“to appropriate funds to place their statues in the National Hall.
DrJ-C^jwfprd W. Long, discoverer of anaesthesia, and Alexander
H. ‘Stephens; vice president of the confederacy, were named, but
. the Legislature has never provided funds for their statues, al-
-though repeatedly requested to do so. A few interested citizens,
► indignant over the failure of the Empire State of the South to
spenef'a few thousand dollars to honor her two most famous sons,
Georgia being one of the few states in the Union no* represented
' in th|r:National Hall, have determined to complete at least part
of thk&egfalaturets unfinished work, and place Dr. Long’s statue
thereiiJfre funds to be raised by private contribution.
Athens feels a particular interest in this undertaking, because
of th^ufact that the distinguished Dj. Long was a resident of
lljVJ Jfty and was practicing his profession here when he madq
his first experiments-with ansesthesia in comrection- with surgi-
edl pperations. For that reason, Athens should’lead the state. - in

latter was experimenting with anaesthesia, has personally
^^Hfcunranteed $2,000 of the amount. Dr. Jacobs is taking a very
HHpctive':part in the undertaking, and should have .the support of
everyj Georgian in creating a permanent memorial- to the man
whose contribution to the advancement of surgery and the relief
bf hurflan suffering has-not been excelled, if, indeed, equalled by
farmers to cut the cotton v.on

of small grain and gave a true re.
port of the market and demand
for their staple.
WORTH
THIRTY
This gentleman says that cotton
today is worth thirty cents per
pound and if holders refuse to turn
lodse. their bales they will get that
price. Of course no honest man
will hold his cotton when he owes
an account due, for that is simply
speculating on another man’s
money; but those farmers who are
in a position to hold their bales
should do so.
This gentleman says that cotton
today at the nrevaling price of 25
cents is the lowest commodity on
the market except Southern farm
ing land. Taken as a whole it has
cost the producer more than that
to raise cotton this year. -Where
the crop was devastated by the
boll weevil it has cost , from $5 to
$50 a pound to grow cotton and
where say three bales to the plow
were made if a farmer had kept
books' he will find that it cost him
more than he can get for it today.
, This gentleman says a report
by the government backs what he
says. The purchasing value of a
cotton dollar today as the prevail
ing prices in 1913, is exactly 43
cents. For instance take the pres
ent cost of cotton goods, hardware
and all else that the farmer must
buy and it takes just $1 to get
what he could have purchased in
1913 for 43 cents. Cotton goods
today are based on 30 cents cotton.
Then why not give the farmer at
least part of what his staple is
worth. There is not a mill in the
country but can pay 30 cents for
cotton and make a handsome prof
it by manufacture. And if the
farmer will refuse to sell he can
lemand and get 30 cents.
The crop this year will be un.
der 10,000,000 bales. Georgia
that made 1,800,000 before the
ppearance of the weevil will not
this year produce much over 700,-
300 bales and the same slump
reported all over the cotton
belt. But give the grower 30
ents for his cotton and he is not
hen on an equality with other
products* Besides the greatly re-
;Iuced yield to. grow cotton, we

My advice to our farmers is if
are in a position to hold your cot

cents per pound for it. Last Sum

bring 25 cents by next spring, and
early in November it has reached
that price.

The rivalry between Illinois and
