Cctton Warehouse
Notice
Beginning May Ist, on all cotton
then in the warehouses in Winder, and
all cotton received from that date to
Sept. Ist, 1921, the storage rate will
be reduced from 75 cents a bale 40 50
cents a bale per month.
It has not been the custom of the
warehousemen, after the storage rate
wus fixed, to change it before the end
of the cotton season, but this reduc
tion is made to show that the ware
housemen wish to be fair to everybody
and adjust the storage rate to abnor
mal conditions, although the handling
of this crop has been exceedingly high
off account of the high cost of labor
and insurance during the fall months.
There have been several times in
flic last few years that the warehouse
men felt that the rate had to be
changed before the end of the season on
account of the advance in the price of
labor and the increased cost of insur
ance, but, notwithstanding this heavy
expense, the rate remained the same
and warehousemen took their losses.
For instance, during the season of 1917
and 1918, the storage rate was fixed nt
25 cents beginning September Ist,
when cotton was selling around 20
oonts: Before the end of the season,
cotton sold for 35 cents, and there
were farmers and merchants, custom
ers of the warehouses whose profits
ran into the thousands, while their
storage accounts did not amount to
enough to pay warehouses’ running ex
penses and insurance.

Jl Tale of the
Flatmoode “
By DAVID ANDERSON
(Oop7Tt*bt by th. Bobte-MtirlU Company)
“Aren’t you going to Invite me In?"
“My father Is away this afternoon.
1 can not invite you in.”
It was the first word she had spok
en—a word cold and hard enough;
sut the brazen intruder seemed to take
encouragement from it
“Then permit me to Invite myself."
He advanced a step, laid his hand to
Ihe door, pushed lightly. The narrow
•lit between cheek and Jamb widened
not a hair.
The passions of a Prussian noble
were behind that face outside. They
negan to break through its thin ve
neer of politeness. He put his hat back
on. but still kept his hand on the
loor.
“I might choose to come in.”
The girl made no answer; neither
lid she suffer the door to yield. The
last vestige of the smile left the man’s
face.
“I might demand to come in”—some
thing close kin to a snarl slipped into
his volce-r“to search fhis cabin for
that notorious desperado, the Red
Mask, the murderer of Louie Solo
mon.”
“The Red Mask Is not In this cab
in.”
The answer came slowly, and there
was a peculiar emphasis upon the
word “in,” doubtless unconscious. To
the listener behind the curtains, it was
as if she had said; “Not In the cabin,
just in front of it.”
The pressure on the door increased.
The TPearlhunter saw the girl brace
ber body agalnft It The door began
to give a tiny mite at first—an Inch
two inches—
He could stand it no longer. He
was In the very act of sweeping the
curtains aside when the girl’s right
arm, the one hid behind the door,
dropped to her side. Her hand went
into the folds of her dress. When It
came out it held the revolver he had
cleaned and put in order the night be
fore. She cocked the weapon and
leaped back. The door flew open. Tlje
man on the step barely saved himself
from sprawling in upon the floor by
clutching the ddor jamb. When he re
gained his balance, he was gazing into
the muzzle of a very, steady and de
pendable looking six-gun. At first
flush he actually thought it was a joke.
“You wouldn’t shoot a man?”
His voice had lost its jaunty assur
ance.
“No,” came the cold, crisp answer
down the steady barrel, “but I’d shoot
a snake."
There was no chance of misunder
standing her.
“Damn’d if I don’t believe you
would I”
"You know how to find out.”
He knew. He slowly raised his
hands. The expression In his eyes
might have meant any number of
things; first of all, that he bowed to
necessity; second, that he would come
again. Astonished, mortifledy-baffled—
that, most of all; baffled—he doubtless
salved his pride with that second
thought: He would come again. The
girl sensed something of what smol
dered deep In the bold eyes—eyes that
a good woman could hardly meet with
out dishonor. But there were plans
afoot—and she trusted them.
“Listen! I’ll give you time to get
out of sight. If you walk fast. If you
look back, or If you are in sigh* when
I think the time is up, I’ll shoot; and
I’ll hit what I shoot at”
He studied the eyes back of the re
volver. What he saw whirled him
around, his hands still up, and started
him back down the path. The farther
he went the faster he went In less
time than she had thought, he hod
passed the turn and disappeared.
She closed the door, laid the revol
ver on the table beside the sewing bas
ket, crossed the room to the sofa. The
Pearlhunter had come out from behind
the curtains, admiration running riot
in his eyes.
“I wish I knew some way to tell
you,” he sold, “how proud I am to
know a girl like you. I don’t know a
man that could have done It And
him the Red Mask! Before you I
feel like a —a —tailor.”
She looked up at him, tried to smile;
the smile was a failure. Her lips
quivered; her eyes fell. To the Pearl
hunter’s amazement she dropped down
on the sofa and burst Into tears. He
stood shifting from one foot to the
other, puzzled nnd helpless. It was
beyond him. He sat down beside her,
reached forth his one free hand and
laid It upon her hair.
“Why—don’t cry! It’s—all over
now I"
