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.

THE WINDER NEW& Zsf>e BLUE MOON 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" (Continued next week.) Weight of the Hope Diamond. Jean Batiste Tavernier came into possession of the Hope diamond in 1042, stolen from the sacred golden statue of Rama, Id the Temple of Rama and B!ta, Burmah, India.
