Gladys Rice
at Auditorium
Is it possible for a singer to
sing a duet with herself?
(’an a living voice and the same
voice RE-CREATED on an in
strument he so identical in tone
quality that they cannot be dis
tinguished, one from the other?
lias science achieved a triumph
that marks the dawn of anew day
in the art of music?
These arc some of the questions
in which every person of culture
must take a deep interest—that
will be answered at the recital to
be given at Winder High School
auditorium on Friday evening.
Sept. 21, 1920. Invitations to this
affair, at which Gladys Rice, the
celebrated American Concert So
prano. have been received by many
prominent musicians of this city,
and interest in ihe coming affair
seems to be keen in musical circles
The appearance of Miss Rice, of
course, would be sufficient to
arouse the enthusiasm of music
lovers here, but the fact that she
will lend her superb voice to the
laudable work of revealing con
clusively that the marvelous a
chievement of the RE-( REATION
of musical sound has been attain
ed, adds immeasurable interest to
the occasion.
In tlie coming recital, Miss Rice
will sing in comparison with her
voice as RE-CREATED by the
New Edison. to enable those in
the audience to judge whether or
not the living voice can be made
to live forever. A superb pro
gram has been arranged—a pro
gram that will reveal all of the fas
©mating qualities of the glorious
voice of the young Soprano. At
times her living voice will be heard
alone; at times she will sing in
unison with her RE-( REAM I'd)
voice; at times she will sing duets
with herself. The audience will
try to pick the two golden threads
of tone apart—to say which one
lives for the moment and which
one has been made immortal, ('an
it be done?
Cards of admittance may be sc
oured from Smith Hardware Cos.,
if you wish to hear this question
answered.

THE BARROW TIMES
Texas City Is Ready For
the Civil War Veterans
Preparations Have Been Made to
Entertain 75,000 Visitors.
Houston. Tex., like a good many
other cities is known to many as
merely a spot on the map. Dur
ing the past years the city and its
people have made rapid strides. It
may be considered that they are
in a minor league circuit, but it is
a big league fashion.
The town is spoken of in this
manner by reason of the splendid
arrangements being made there to
entertain the 75,000 visitors that
will Hock Texasward to attend
the annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans, and the Con
federated Southern Memorial as
sociation, scheduled for October 5.
6,7, and 8.
To house 75,000 people in a city
of less than 150.000 is no small
task. Yet it will he done through
the spirit to ho shown by the peo
ple of Houston. Already the city
is preparing to turn itself into one
great, hospitable hotel for the
week of the reunion. Squads of
men working under the housing
committee are canvassing tlie city
house by bouse, securing pledges
signed to take care of guests and
furnish meals. These are being
indexed according to a system us
ed during past reunions.
To Fight Profiteering.
Visitors arriving at either of the
three railway stations in Houston
will go to the booths at each sta
tion, where they will be given
cards directing them accurately
to their stopping places. Efforts
will be made to keep Ihe rates nor
mal and any attempt at profiteer
ing will be fought with every
weapon at hand. Another ar
rangement just announced is an
agreement with the Houston rail
road agents to have Pullman’s
parked at the terminals. Visitors
can sleep in those cars as cheaply
as they could at the hotels.
A rate of 1 cent a mile, already
granted by fourteen railroad sys
tems of the south, and to.he grant
ed by others, assures 75.000 visit
ors in the opinion of N. B. Forest,
general secretary of the commit
tee preparing for the reunion, and
commander-in-chief of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans. Thousands
of persons will attend the conven
tion and later tour Texas, taking
advantage of the low railroad fare-
Tickets at 1 cent a mile will be
sold on October 3, 4 and 5. and will
be good returning until October
Ml. The return, however, must be
over the same route. This will
make Houston a base for side trips
in every direction.
City Raising $50,000
The city is raising $50,000 to
spend on the entertainment of the
visitors to the reunion. It is an
nounced that Ihe veterans them
selves will live in tents and mess
at the call of the bugle. A tent
city is to he erected for them in
fine of Houston’s beautiful wood
ed parks. Enfeebled veterans
will he housed in the best homes.
Houston is surely taking a page
from Atlanta’s hook.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK TO
MOVE COTTON THIS FALL.
Assuring the cotton growers
that the officials of the federal re
serve hank inform him positively
of their intention to give the same
accommodations on cotton collat
eral that the hank has given in the
past. J. J. Brown, commissioner of
agriculture, in a statement issued
Saturday, urges the farmers not
to sell a hale of cotton for less than
40 cents a pound, which was the
minimum fixed by the price com
mittee of the American Cotton as
sociation at its meeting ten days
ago in Montgomery.
Commissioner Brown’s state
ment is as follows:
“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 Mont
gomery a few days ago.
“Since the Montgomery meet
ing and in the last thirty days we
have had one of the greatest crop
deteriorations ever known. It has
been so great in Texas that the au
thorities have openly announced
that Texas will hardly make 2,500,
000 as against about 4,000,000 an
ticipated sixty days ago. Asa re
sult, Texas is figuring the cost of
production at 4li 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 overage for all grades.
“I have received positive infor
mation that the Sixth Federal Re
serve hank stands absolutely ready
to rediscount for the farmers and
merchants of this territory an un
limited amount of cotton paper. 1
am sorry there is a misunderstand
ing, as 1 am informed, on the part
of some of our Georgia banks to
the contrary. If they will look in
to the matter. I feel sure they will
find the federal reserve hank 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 cost, more to produce the 1920
crop than any other in the history
of the south.
“When the world knows tlie
facts it will be ready to accord our
producers a fair price for their
cotton, which will pay them cost
of production plus a reasonable
prifit.
“Information coming through
thousands of letters and telegrams
from all over the cotton licit since
the Montgomery meeting, indi
cates that the farmers are determ
ined, as never before, not to sell
this crop below cost. Their dispo
sition is to secure loans on bond
ed warehouse receipts and meet
their obligations as promptly as
possible, but under no circumstan
ces to sell below cost.
“Under the circumstances, I con
fidently believe the banking and
business interests stand ready to
assist the farmers in securing at
leasl cost for this year’s crop. In
fact. I feel absolutely sure of it.
“The lear speculators may try
to stampede the market on the ba
sis of the reported shutting down
or curtailment on the part of the
mills; but but board contracts can
not 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.”
