THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1920. J. J. BROWN URGES NO COTTON SALES Pending* the State-Wide Meeting of t'dk 'O Producers and Business Men. Calling attention to the announced state widev meeting of cotton producers, business men and all interested in a fair price* for cotton and cotton seed, which will be held in Atlanta in the next two weeks under the auspices of the Georgia Division, American Cot ton Association, Commissioner of Agri culture, J. J. Brown, states this will be one of the most important meetings held in Georgia, and urges a full rep resentation from every county in the State. “While we are looking forward to this meeting,” Commissioner Brown said, “1 sincerely trust that no one in Georgia will sell a single bale of cotton for less than 40 cents a pound, the price fixed in Montgomery a few days ago. “Since‘the Montgomery meeting and in the last 60 days, we have had one of the greatest crop deteriorations ever known. It has been so great ,in Texas that the authorities have oxienly an nounced that Texas will hardly make two and a half million bales as against about four million anticipated 00 days ago. Asa result, Texas is figuring the cost of production at 46 cents a pound. “The deterioration in Georgia has been as .great as that in Texas, and it would be unjust to every interest to even think of selling a pound of our cotton for less than 40 cents aver age for all grades. ‘I have received a positive informa tion that the Sixth Federal Reserve Bank . -binds absolutely ready to re discount for the farmers and merchants of this territory, an unlimited amount of cotton paper. I am sorry there is a misunderstanding, as I am informed, on the part of some of our Georgia banks to the contrary. If they will look into the mater, I feel sure they will find the Federal Reserve Bank is ready to stand by our farmers just as in the past. “There is no ground whatever for any demand for deflation in cotton because cotton has never been inflated. Every posted man in the cotton belt knows well that it costs more to pro duce the 1920 crop than any other in the history of the South. “When the world knows the facts, it will be ready to accord our produc ers a fair price for their cotton which will pay them cost of production plus a reasonable profit. “Information coming thought thou sands of letters and telegrams from all over the cotton belt since the Montgom ery meeting, indicates that the farmeis are determined, as never before, not to sell this crop below cost. Their disposition is to secure loans on bond ed warehouse receipts and meet tjieir obligations as promptly as possible, but under no circumstances to sell below cost. “Under the circumstances, I confi dently believe the banking and busi ness interests stand ready to assist the farmers in securing at least cost for this year's crop. In fact, I feel absolutely sure of it. “The bear speculators may try to stampede the market on the basis of tin* reported shutting down of curtail ment on the part of the mills; but boafd contracts cannot be spun into cloth fabrics, and the manufacturer cannot shut down any longer than the farmer can hold. Let every man stand steadfast for a fair price, and we are bound to get it.” A POSTIC WEDDING (From the New York Sun.) There is an authentic record of a wedding being performed in rhyme. Down in Mississippi when blushing Bet tie Johnson and bold Jim Davis appear ed before Judge Norman Moore the latter said: “Jim, will you take Bet Without regret, To love and cherish I'ntil one of you perish And is laid under the sod, help you God?” The bridegroom replied In the affirma tive. Then, turning to Bettie, the judge continued: “Bet, will you take Jim And cling to him, Both out and in, Through thick and thin, Holding him to your heart. Until death do you part?” A modest bow of consent was given by the bride and then Judge Moore dismissed the happy couple with these words: ‘Through life's alternating joy and strife, 1 now pronounce you man and wife.’ Floyd’s first bale of cotton of the 1920 crop sold in Rome for 49 l-2c per pound. ' WAS IN BED FOR SIX LONG MONTHS Was Able To Be I'p In Three Weeks After Taking Tanlac—Gains Twenty Pounds "I was in bed for six long months with stomach trouble and rheumatism and Tanlac alone deserves the credit for my recovery,” said George Greg oire, popular longshoreman, of 2718 3rd avenue, Seattle,' Wash. ”1 have gained twenty pounds and feel like I was never sick a day in my life,” he continued. "My trouble started a year ago. My appetite left me and what I forced my self to eat would cause a severe pain in my stomach and shortness of breath. Meats were almost like poison to my system; I got as weak as a kitten and the rheumatism laid hold of me so bad I could hardly drag myself about. My kidneys seemed to give way, too, ami my back hurt so I couldn’t stoop over. My head ached like it would split and I would get so dizzy I had to hold to something to keep from falling. I lost sleep and weight and was completely down and out. “Tanlac helped me so much that I was out of bed in three weeks and now I am like a different man. All my troubles are entirely gone, I am back at work every day and do my work so easily I surprise the men who work with me. I never felt better in my life and I give Tanlac all the credit for my splendid health.” Tanlac is sold in every town by one good druggist. HEAT. Why do you cull a fast automobile driver a scorcher? Because he goes out at a hot pace, makes pedestrians boiling mad, warms up the police, gets roasted in court, and calls it a burning shame. —Boy’s Life. A Grateful Letter. It is in trying conditions like that related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North of Naples, N. Y„ that proves the worth of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. “Two years ago last summer” she says, “our little boy had dysentery. At that time we were.living in the country eight miles from a doctor. Our sou was taken ill suddenly and was about the sickest child I ever saw. He was in terrible pain all the time and passed from one convulsion into an other. I sent my husband for the doc tor and after he was gone thought of a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the cupboard. I gave him some of it and he began to improve at once. By the time the doc tor arrived he was out of danger.
