of the locals they, would have got
ten what they came for.
Rube Waddell Foy wad on
the firing line for the Athletics

baseball pride .did the box work
for the Ilubites. Both of these
gentlemen were in fine trim, Foy
yielding up one scratch hit while

only three. .

start to finish, but Fo^ t had a
little the best of it in the back
up. The feature of the game

and who was also in evidence

2 to-0.
Mr. Herbert Smith, catcher for

A TIMELY WARNING
Buyer, Seller and Transportation
Companies Should Co-Op
erate in Marketing
of Cotton.
The cotton season of 1913 is
fast approaching and in view
of the rules recently promulgated
by handlers of the South's great
est money crop, it would seem
that the time has come when the
marketing of OHr cotton output
must be done on a more econom
ical basis. Wet bales ahd dam
aged bales are being promptly re
fused by the Steamship and rail
road companies. These irregu
larities cost lotJ of money, and
a buyer who does not make the
proper reductions not only pays
the penalty imposed, but other un
avoidable expenses that are in
curred after the cotton reaches
the compresses or ports. These
new rules and regulations when
understood and strictly complied
with will result in better priced
to the farmer and a great savin.#
to the transportation companies.
The amount saved in trans
portation will be added to the
price of the cotton when it is
first sold. The buyers, the sell
ers, the steamship companies,
the railroad companies and ev
erybody interested in the cotton
industry should do everything
they can to bring about a co-op
erative effort to conform to
thebe new rules.
“Another tiling .that’s costing
the careless farmer of parts of
Alabama and other sections of
our country from SI.OO to $5.00
per bale,” said a prominent Geor
gia cotton man who was in the
city this week, is the mar
keting of cotton that is ginned
wet. The cotton is picked with
a heavy dew on it and packed
down tightly in a wagon body
so that the water cannot dIT
out. hi is then carried to the
gin so wet that no gin on earth
can gin it except one with an air
blast that loosens up the cotton
and taked out a small amount of
water. What is the farmer that
is doing this kind of business do
ing for himself. 7 lie getd a bad
sample and much shorter lint
than if his cotton had been ginn
ed dry. Wet cotton fiber does
not pull loose from the seed
like dry fiber but breaks off, leav
ing part of it on the seed, and of
course is a much shorter dtaple
and is calledAGin-cut cotton.’
“This farmer, under the di 1 u
sion of what he thinks a slick
trick, taked the bale to his buy
er, demanding every pound it
will weigh, and the top of the mar
ket, sells it to him with from
five to twenty pounds of water
in it, as the case may be, gets
hist money and goes his way re
joicing, leaving tin* buyer to losf
the weight of the water. The peo
pie who handle; the cotton crop
and tin* spinners who turn it in
to cloth are not all fools, and
time is now at hand when the
price is going to be made accord
ingly. The man who Adis water
in his! co f ton is like the fellow
who some years ago shipped a
number of bales of cotton to his
firm in Charel&ton, S. C., who
were cotton exporters and also
wholesale grocery merchants. The
farmer wrote them to sell the
cotton and ship him a bill of gro
ceries consisting of sugar, flour
meat and other things. The cot
ton went fa the compress and
one of the bales broke tin* press.
They opened the bale to see what
the trouble was and found a
large grindstone. The groceries
went forward to the farmer, and
when he opened ihe barrel of
sugar the first thing In* saw was
his old grindstone. There was
no trouble in reaching a settle
ment with this farmer.”
Don’t try to defraud your
buyer by selling damp cotton
