. IMPORTANT TO COTTON GROWERS. Dear Mr. Editor: I will thank you to give me e nough space in your valuable pa per to correct some errors that seem to be among the farmers in regard to Half and Half Short Sta pie Cotton. After making inquiry of several of the farmers 1 find that a num ber of them think the buyers in Winder do not want the farmers to plant Half and Half Cotton. The article : pruning in your p. per signed by the different cotton buyers in Winder some time ago, was justsimply a warning to the fanners for their own good and 1 can assure the farmers every where that a buyer simply buys a bale of cotton for the small mar was ;ust simply a warning t > the of it,and had just as soon buy one kind of cotton as another, provid ed he can get it at its value, but the value of Half and Half Short staple, which is about five-eights in length, is from $lO to $25 per bale less than any of the big boll cotton which pulls one to one and one-sixteenth inch, and North (la., has the repub \on of rais : .\/ a very fine grade of cotton which pulls one to one and one-sixteenth inch staple and is known the word over; but since this Half and Half has been introduced in the past few years, complaints are coming from all parts of the world about this short inferior staple and it is up to the farmers whether this reputation shall be restored or be black listed and lost forever. . 1 voice not only the sentiment of the Winder buyers, but of the buyers of all North Georgia, and k 1 trust this explanation will be sat isfactory to all concerned. Yours very truly, J. M. WILLIAMS. Daddy Broke His Face. John was always an interested spec tator when his father shaved. One morning the razor slipped and the skin was cut a trifle, and John turned and said regretfully to his mother, “Oh, see, daddy did break his nice face." EDMONDS DEFENDS GROWERS OF COTTON. Daytona,, Fla., March 29. Defending what he termed the patriotic motives of the southern cotton planters in their efforts to maintain prices of the staple, Richard 11. Edmonds, editor of The Manufacturers Record, today issued an open letter to Governor Allen, of Kansas, criticizing the governor’s statements concerning economic forces influencing the attitude of the cotton growers. Governor Allen recently de clined to attend a convention to be held in Columbia, S. C., where cotton producers are to discuss ways and means for maintaining prices. The governor said that lie was not in sympathy with the move to limit cotton acreage while Kansas was planting more wheat than ever. Mr. Edmonds, in his letter, said: “The only way in which it has been possible for the south to raise and sell cotton at the aver age price of the last fifty years without going into bankruptcy was that the tenant farmers, white and black,, and many of the smaller land owners, have liadto raise this crop by the work of their wives and children. These women should have been in their homes and these children should have been in school The economic slavery fastened upon the south by the world’s in sistent demand for low price cot ton and the world’s power to break down the price of cotton |Compelled these women and chil dren to work in their cotton fields in order to make out a hare exist ence. If wheat growing in Kan sas brought about this condition upon the farmers of your state, would you for a moment insist that they should continue to pro duce wheat when wheat produc tion meant continued enslavement of poverty and illiteracy?’’ BETHLEHEM Mr. Coleman Treadwell, who is attending the Military Depart ment of the Georgia University, spent Sunday with homefolks.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR FAVORITE TOBACCO? As Plain as the Nose on Your Face—Just Smell It Smokers do not have to put tobacco in their pipes to find out if they like it. They can just rub the tobacco between the palms of their hands and smell it. The nose is ar. infallible guide to smok ing enjoyment. All smoking tobaccos employ some flavoring “to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves’’, to quote the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Naturally, there is considerable differ ence in the hind of flavorings used, and the nose quickly detects this difference. TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest, most wholesome, and delicious of all flavorings—chocolate. And the almost universal liking for chocolate in a great measure explains the widespread popu larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
