has to work so hard to make ends meet that he hasu t
time to hunt. However, we are glad that game is
plentiful for George Rucker’s sake.
O
World shortage of cotton is predicted for next year.
We have been fooled so often by cotton prophets that
we are. ready to doubt any statement made about the
fleecy staple.
O
The 1921 cotton crop seems to be growing. It is
already far beyond what most of us thought it would
be. It shows the folly of anybody telling anybody
•else what to do about selling their cotton.
O
It strikes us that the world bus advanced far

O
Those were splendid words spoken by President
Harding in addressing a Methodist Episcopal mind
ing in Detroit recently. He said, “If the churches
fail in their high and holy tasks there is small hope
for civilization. The world never before was in such
need of right morals, right relations among men and
nations, right spirit for meeting unparalleled condi
tions, and sound religion In personal, social and pub
lic life.”
Associated Chariites
The associated charities of the city are asking the
people of Winder and Barrow county to make a con
tribution of some kind to this work next week on
Thanksgiving Day. They will gladly accept clothes
of any kind, or food, or any other article that will
help the poor. They ask that these donations be

people will respond readily and heartily to the call of
this splendid organization.

O
The Georgia Cotton Growers
Association.
A strong effort is being put forth just now to or
ganize the cotton growers of Barrow county into the
Georgia Cotton Growers Co-operative Association,
and many fanners of the county are signing the con
tracts binding themselves to sell their cotton through
the association. Mr. J. R. Turner is calling on the
farmers day by day explaining the plan to them and
asking their co-operation In putting the enterprise
over*.
There Is no doubt but what the same kind' of an
organization lias been of untold benefit to the fruit
growers of California, and the states of Texas and
Oklahoma are taking hold of this organization with
interest and enthusiasm There is always power iu
organization and all business enterprise* are strength
ened by the combination of the units of those enter
prises. Of course, every enterprise depends for its
success upon the ability and honesty of its directors
and managers, and it does seem that the farmers of
the state ought to be able to select directors and
managers, for their business enterprises as wisely as
is done in other lines of activities.
If the farmers of Barrow county intend to join
the association they should do so immediately so that
the organization can begin to function next year. Mr.
Turner, who is representing the association in the
county, will be glad to explain the workings of the
organization to every one interested.
O
The Banks of the Country
The banks of Barrow county have made fine records
during the year through which we are passing. They
have done their best to serve the people, and we feel
sure that when the financial clouds pass away we
will be proud of our financial institutions. Occasion
ally you will hear someone knocking the banks but
we could not get along without them.
it is well understood that the banks are not always
in position to accommodate everybody In the matter
of loans. There are seasons when the prudent banker
will curtail this branch of his business to meet pos
sible demands from other sources. He must take
care of his depositors, and keep his own credit un
impaired. The major part of the profits of a bank
are derived from the accumulation of interest upon
loans, and as money-making is the chief end and pur
pose of a bauk we can always rest assured that the
bank will always take on new loans whenever circum
stances Justify it.
In the event that only a portion of its customers
can be accommodated, then, of course, the first to
receive favors will be those whose business has been
the most profitable to the bank, nnd to whom the
bank is most indebted. The bank would not be treat
ing this class of customers right if it did not give
them the preference in the matter of loans.
Other things being equal, the value of your bank
account will usually guage your claims for accommo
dation. You cannot blame the bank for withholding
a loan when the party applying for same keeps his
money at home or some where else, and when in need
of help except the bank to come across.
We have been in business for thirty-five years and
we have never yet had any just cause for kicking
banks about accommodations. And we have always
tried to treat them as we would want them to treat us.
Stand by your bank, deposit your money in it,
treat it right, prove your reliability, and then if it
does not treat you right, quit it and go somewhere
else with your business.

The drive for n million dollars for the State Uni
versity closes tomorrow. We hope it will be success

We endorse it because it will take speculation and

producer to realize a fairer profit.
It will help take our children out of the cotton fields
