CONTESTANTS SHOULD NOT
GET DISCOURAGED NOW AS
COTTON WILL MOVE SOON
S 3UTHERN PLANTERS
NEED NOT WORRY
Says Banker Hiiiyer, of Atlanta,
Who Has Closely Investigated
Conditions.
Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 24—That the Sou
thern cotton planter need not wory
about the Europe wars seriously cut
ting down the market on cotton is tnt
opinion of William Hurd Hillyer, one
of Atlanta's foremost invesment bank
ers and financiers.
Mr. Hillyer has just returned from
a visit to New York and Philadelphia
where he was in consultation with
many flanciers of the two cities. He
found a feeling of confidence every
where.
“The news that the English mills
will i ot stop spinnig is indeed wel
come,” said Mr. Hillyer. “But even
without that the situation might even
tually have resulted in good rather
than harm. “The war will close many
sources of export from the great man
ufacturers of Europe, and these must
turn to the United States for manu
facturered cotton gods. The mills of
America will ' supply the countries
which formerlly bought from Euro
pean spinners. The States has the op
portunity of building up an expert
trade which may be of intestimable
value.”
Form Partnership For
Practice Criminal Law
Senator C. A. Ward and Attorney T.
A. Wallace have entered.into a part
nership'' for the practice of criminal
law.
Each will continue their civil busi
ness separately except in such cases
as one may desire to associate the
other.
They will occupy offices in the Lank
ford building, and as the partnership
is in immediate existence, will begin
their practice at once.
HOKE SMITHS WAREHOUSE BILL
PASSES THK SENATE
Amendment* to Measure Extend Pro
visions to Tobacco, Naval Stores
and Grain.
Washington, Aug. 25.—The Senate
Monday night without roll call passed
the cotton warehouse license bill, pro
posed by Senator Hoke Smith origin
ally to add value to cotton warehouse
certificates- by means of governmental
inspection and certification of the
grades of cotton stored in licensed
warehouses.
On the floor of the Senate the bill
‘was amended to extend its provisions
to tobacco, naval stores, canned sal
mon, grain and flax seed. Amend
ments for extension to apples, peaches
and oil were voted down.
A limitation was placed on the bill
so as to exempt from the operation of
the grain provision those states hav
! iug a state grain inspector system.
MR. HENRY KING DEAD.
Mr. W. H. King returned from At
lanta Saturday with the sad news that
his son, R. Henry, to whose bedside
Mr. King was called on Tuesday, had
died and the funeral and burial had
taken place Friday afternoon.
The deceased was 43 years of age.
and an expert telegrapher. He had
gained a reputation in Atlanta as be
ing one of the best operators for handl
ing baseball and football news over
the wires in the country. And as an
indicatTon of his popularity in Atlanta,
from the moment he was taken sudden
ly ill until his death, there was a host
of..people anxiously awaiting an op
portunity to aid him.
Mr. King had been ill but five days,
being stricken on Saturday with par
alysis and soon after with acute indi
gestion. He was married and leaves a
wife and five children besides his par
ents. two brothers and one sister.

years, according to weather bureau of

Saginaw.
Ctfunlij ptrtwms.
This setback of the cotton market
should not discourage the contestants
because it does not seem that it is go
ing to last very long, and when things
begin to move there is going to be a
great many new names added to the
subscription list of The Progress.
Of course, right at this time no one
has any money to spend for anything,
but, as we said before, things are
bound to change for the better before
long and as the contest is yet a good
time to run, there is plenty of oppor
tunity open ahead for the workers.
Owing to the fact that this war has
upset all calculations, we have decid
ed to extend the double vote allow
ance on cash subscriptions until Sep
tember 30, or practically one month
longer.
Fifteen Months For $1
Another thing that we have decided
to do to help the workers out at this
time is to allow three months free on
each yearly cash subscription sent in.
In other words, from now on until Sep
tember 30, whenever a yearly subscrip
tion is paid for in cash the subscriber
will be credited for fifteen months in
stead of twelve. This applies on sub
scriptions running more than one year
viz: $2 gives the paper for two and a
half years;s3 gives the paper for three
years and nine months, and so on up.

COTTON SITUATION
GRADUALLY CLEARING
Government Will Put $160,000,000
In Cotton to Relieve the Distress
Now Being Felt—Will Be a
Week or Ten Days Before
Things Can Be Put in
Shape
Quick action on the part o f Con
gress for the relief of the cotton mark
et is being taken. A bill creating
bonded warehouses has been passed
and the government will turn loose
$160,000,000 to be applied on 4,000,000
bales.
This bill takes out of the market the
surplus cotton and will leave the dis
tressed cotton where it can be sold,
and men in position to know claim
that in a short time after this is done,
the price will advance.
Govern incut’s Action
Washington, Aug. 24. —Representa-
tives of the various branches of the
otton industry, in conference today
with the Federal Reserve Board and
other government officials, were as
sured by the Secretary of the Treas
ury that properly safeguarded ware
house receipts for cotton would be
made the basis for currency issued by
the new' Federal reserve banks.
The conference immediately took up
tb" ouestion of proper warehouse fa
cilities and discussed the details of fi
nancing the crop. Secretary McAdoo
told the delegation that the disposi
tion was to make not only cotton, but
tobacco stnd all other "stable products
uronmly secured,” the basis of bank
credit.”
President’s Advice.
The conference, which represented
cotton growers, merchants, bankers
and manufacturers from twenty-two
states, after a morning session with
Secretary McAdoo and the Federal Re
serve Board, called on the President.
He assured them all the full co-opera
tion of the national government in
their efforts to meet the situation con
fronting the cotton industry as a re
sult of the closing of the European
markets by war. The President urg
ed 1 that every interest do its best to
help itself.
“I am not willing to believe,” he
said, “that these conferences are in
tended to call upon the government
to rescue men w'ho know how 1,0 take
care of themselves; but that they are
called for the purpose of common
counsel, and for putting at the dispo
sal of men who know' how to take care
of themselves every legitimate instru
mentality of the government Itself.”
“The conferences that w r e have held
in recent w r eeks have done a vast deal
first of all to clarify problems, and sec
ond, and perhaps more important, to
show how' by co-operation we can
solve the problems. Not all of these
problems are going to be entirely solv
'd. because the circumstances are of
such extraordinary difficulty, but that
they will come very near to being
solved, I, for one, have no doubt pro
vided always we keep cool and think
of these things in the same self-posess
j d temper w'e would exercise if condi
tions were not extraordinary. We are
not to be run away with by sudden
excitement; we are not to be imposed
upon by unusual conditions; and the
minute we sit down together, I am
sure that w'e can w'ork things out.”
Will Buy Ships.
The discussion developed a senti
ment favorable to the proposed pur
chase of ships by the government for
foreign trade. It was stated that with
South American and Asiatic trade
routes opened to American ships
the American cotton manufacturers
could extend their cotton cloths to
these markets and increase their con
sumption of raw material by 1,500.000
bales. The general opinion was that
three million or four million bales of
cotton w'ould have to be carried over
as a result of the closing of British,
French and German mill^s.
Cotton manufacturers promised to
make every effort to increase their
consumption and agreed not to force
down the prices for j*iw r cotton. Bank
ers agreed to make every legitimate
effort to aid in the financing of the
crop.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING
TALKED EVERYWHERE
War Teaches The South a Lesson
That Will be to Its Benefit If
Practiced And a 1 Greater
Variety of Crops Are Plan
ted-—Fuller Callaway,
of LaGrange, Spoke
on Conditions and
Offers Plan
That diversified farming will be
SERIOUSLY considered from now on
in the South is the opinion of Fuller
E. Callaway, a cotton mill owner, of
LaGrange, Ga., who was one to offer a
plan for the relief of the present situ
ation before the board at Washington
last Monday.
Mr Callaway has just returned from
a trip through Europe, and was eom
oelled to take steerage passage home.
A report in brief of his findings and
nis plan for relief appeared in news
dispatches Tuesday morning.
Mr. Callaway’s Idea.
Mr. Callaway’s speech was the fea
ture of the gathering. From start to
finish*he kept the crowd convulsed
with laughter as he unfolded his idea
for a “calf pasture warehouse,” de
scribed his trip from Europe in the
steerags of a second class vessel and
described the anxiety of everybody con
cerned that the farmer, who he said,
is the cow r whom everybody has been
milking so long, should not “go dry.”
Mr. Callaway’s Idea w'as to start on
the little farmer right in the small
town. In every small community, he
said, the leading citizens to. the num
ber of twelve or fifteen are the stock
holders in till local bank. They are
substantial men whose credit in the
bank is gilt edge. At least one of these
men, if not more has a piece of ground
which is used for nothing better than
a calf pasture. Let him dedicate this
pasture for a temporary cotton ware
house and let the stockholders of the
bank form a voluntary warehouse as
sociation for the issue of certificeates.
The receipts which the local banks
would not take as collateral could be
made good by the notes, of the men
w'ho composed the association. Once
accepted by the local bank, this paper
could be discounted at the correspond
ing national bank, from there to be
made the basis of currency under the
Aldrich-Vreeland act.
Mr. Callaway said he had no com
plaint to make of his voyage from
Europe where he has been for three
months, in the steerage. Packd tight,
thy slept standing up. He named a
list of notable people who came in the
steerage with him and said they all
came up for once a day just like por
poises. In Europe, he said, they have
great respect for President Wilson,
and that when the war is over he will
he called on to settle it. This, he said,
is worth the entire Panama canal,
showing that it pays to be honest
about the canal.
Best Thing For the South
Mr. Callaway declared the war to
be the best thing that ever happened
to the South in that it will compel di
versified farming. said cotton was
already glutting the market and that
the industry was facing panic before
the war. His summary of the entire
situation was optimistic. He is a cot
ton mill owmer.
All the manufacturers agreed that
the Southern mills have enough cot
ton on hand now to last only thirty
days, while the New England mills
have a little more than that. Courage
in the farmer in asking a good price
for his cotton, courage in the banker
in financing both the farmer and the
manufacturer, courage in the manufac
turer in the market were asketl and
pledged by each of the three interests

10,000 PRISONERS
TAKEN BY GERMANY
Kaisers Legions Pressing on Towards
Paris-French City in Gloom
Washington, Aug. 25 —Defeats of the
French and British troops along the
Franco-Belgian frontiers with the tak
ing of 10,000 French soldiers from the
army of General Joffre, the French
commander-in-chief, and the capture
of several generals with great num
bers of cannon and equipment, was to
day reported by the German Foreign
War Office to the German embassy
here in a wireless telegram received
through Sayville, L. I/, station.
The dispatch announces that an ad
vance toward Paris is now probable,
the action to be taken by a gathering
of all the German army.
“German troops chased the French
troops defeated in battles of August 17
to 21,” the dispatch began. “Numer
ous ensigns, over 150 guns, 10,000 pris
oners, capture of Luneville, taken
from army of General .Joffre, dismem
bered. No more capable of action.
“German Crown Prince’s army clias
■d the French west of Longwy. Army
of Duke of Wurtemburg marched
through Belgium. North River, Semols
completely crushed advancing French
umy; numerous guns, ensigns, pris
oners, several generals captured.
“German troops advanced west of
River Meuse toward Maubeurge; de
feated English cavalry brigade. Sem
ois, Longwy, greatest part of Belgian-
French frontier, in German iiands.
Concentric advance of all German ar
mies toward Paris probable.”
It was pointed out at the Embassy
that this was the first mention of Par
is bus far made in the official German
dispatches.
A second wireless dispatch fronv
Berlin announced that the German ma
lines had returned from Scutari on
the Adriatic to assist the Austrians in
their fight against the Servians. It al
so mentioned the visit of Assistant Sec
retary of War Breckenridge to Berlin.
The message read:
“German marines returned from
Scutari, took part w ith Austrians fight
ing w ith Servians.”
It is reported that deep gloom pre
vails in Paris and that. President Poin
caire has held several secret meetings.
The French people at their capitol are
deeply apprehensive over the steady
advance of the Germans.
FARMERS URGED TO
HOLD THEIR COTTON
Farmers are urged to hold their cot
ton by the strongest business men of
the city and county as well as every
where else, because they belive that
in the near future a price will be ob
tainable that will more than pay them
for the holding.
That farmers genneraly in this coun
ty are boing this is known, but in
some instances there seems to be fear
that the price will fall. This view is
not taken by those w ho are in position
to know and it seems to be the gener
al opinion that the present low prices
cannot last but a short time,
not Cotton mill owners have promis
ed not to beat down the prices, and
they state that as the mills of Europe
-.viii b“ closed, here will be a demand
for millions of bales more than usual
ver the water, and that as soon as
arrangements to move the cotton ac
.oss tne Atlantic things will begin to
boom in this country, and they are
optimistic that ships will be available
in a short while.
“Hold your cotton,” was a remark
the writer heard a Douglas banker
make to a farmer who asked him for
information Tuesday morning. And
the farmea said he would store it with
the Douglas Oil & Fertilizer Co.

Australian Ballot
System Recommended
The Coffee County Democratic Ex
ecutive Committe in session at Doug
ias last Thursday passed a resolution
strongly recomending that the Aus
trialian ballot system be established
in the county by the next executive
committee, and in time for the next
primary.
The comittee also recommended that
the Representative elect. C. E. Stew
art, and the Senator-elect, Judge C. A.
Ward, introduce and have passed, if
j possible, at the next Legislature a gen
; eral law to establish and put in force
I the Australian ballot system through
out the State of Georgia. This rec
-1 ommendation of the Committee met
I with a great deal of enthusiasm.
The primary here or, Aug., 19 dem
i onstrated the urgent neccessity for
i such a ballot system in Coffee County,
as in some of the races lines were
I closely draw n, and it has been openly
| charged by various citizens on the
! streets that too much vote purchasing
and too much w'hiskey was used in
this election, and to such an extent
I that the present ballot system in the
I County is becoming far removed from
that free and unobstructed exercise
land purity of the ballot as was intend
j ed and provided for in our State Con-
I stttution.
Botli Representative elect C. E.
! Stewart, and Senator-elect C. A. Ward
expressed their hearty approval of the
I Austrialian ballot system, and pledg
ed themselves to the Committee to do
all they could to at least put it in force
in Coffee County.
