GERMAN COTTON MILLS TO
TAKE MILLION BALES IF
DEAL IS FINANCED.
Ten Million Spindles in Germany
Ready to Begin Operation as
Soon as Labor Troubles Cease
and Cotton Is Received.
%
Washington, July 28.—German
cotton mills with 10,000,000 spind
les estimated as still suitable for
operation, can consume about 1,-
000,000 bales of cotton during the
next year, if means arc found to
finance the movement of the com
modity from the United States,
said a report by Erwin W. Thomp
son, commercial attache of the bu
reau of foreign and domestic com
merce, made public tonight.
Mr. Thompson outlined a plan
by which Danish and Dutch trad
ers may be furnished e.tinn for re
sale to Germany and allowed to
assume a part of the credit risk.
Out of 4,067,018 bales of cotton in
storage in the United States on
June 30, he estimated a very large
proportion was classified in the
lower grades, which are especially
suuitable for German mills.
“At this time the German mills
eager buyers for the
lowest grades,” Mr. Thompson’s
report said, pointing out that dur
ing the war they have L:an operat
ing on w- ;tes, shoddy, nettle fiber
and paper, owing to the pressure
of the blockade.
“Cotton experts are agreed that
the cotton in public store in the
United States is nearly all of gra
des below those most desired by
domestic mills.”
Declaring that the problem for
the American producers and hold
ers of cotton was to find a way to
offer large assorted stocks of cot
ton to the German spinners, and
at the same time he secured for
the value of their property, Mr.
Thompson said that warehouses
and exchange facilities in Rotter
dam, Holland, now were available
for handling such a trade.
“Several strong trading com
panies in Rotterdam are in a posi
tion to handle and finance cotton
into Germany as fast as they can
consume it,” he said. “Matters
can be so arranged with them that
American bankers can finance the
cotton in any amount into safe
warehouses in Holland and the
Hollanders can arrange their own
credits for delivery to German
spinners in lots to suit their week
ly or monthly requirements.
“Owing to great labor troubles
at the moment it would he hard to
start up spinning at full capacity,
even if the cotton were on the
spot. But it is estimated that with
in a few months after cotton be
gins to arrive the mills could use
40.000 hales a month.”
Danish traders are also willing,
Mr. Thompson reported, to resume
handling cotton into Russia, and
would also stand willing to join in
supplying Germany.
ON VISIT FROM BLUE RIDGE.
Mr. Floyd Anderson and family,
of Blue Ridge, Georgia, are visit
ing Mr. John Hill and other rela
tives here for a few days. Mr. An
derson is one of the splendid citi
zens of Blue Ridge, having moved

MR. W. B. PATRICK AS
HOST AT BARBECUE
Mr. \\ . B. Patrick, one of Bar
row County’s fine farmers and
clever citizens was host, Tuesday
at a big and old-fashioned barbe
cue to all of bis relatives, neigh
bors and many friends of Winder
and other places.
The barbecue was on the ground
in a lovely grove surrounding the
beautiful country home of Mr.
Patrick, out six mies from Winder
in Ben Smith district.
The barbecue meats and bruns
wick stew were cooked to perfec
tion and in addition to these there
were enough fried chicken to have
fed one hundred or more hungry
preachers and then some. Cake
and pies enough to have satisfied
all the women and children and
old people in the whole of Ben
Smith District.
All of the 300 or more present
say, in one accord, they never saw
more good things to eat and that
there was enough left to have fed
three times more persons than
those there.
Messrs Will Autry, Claud Gre
gory, Doc Carithers, 11. G. Hill,
Albert Camp and M. J. Griffeth
ate so much they were not able to
talk much until late Tuesday even
ing, and even Mr. Kelly, who is
one of our most prudent men, was
almost ready to acknowledge ho
ate too much.
Bill Patrick knows how to make
his friends feel good, knows how
fo have a real barbecue and knows
how to farm and make bis borne
and farm attractive.
Last Tuesday will be a day long
remembered by all those who at
tended this great feast, and the
hospitality of Mr. W. B. Patrick
will never be forgotten.
