loins, especially severe in the morning.
The kidney secretions were also un

BRISK HOLIDAY
BUSINESS. HERE
BEST IN MANY YEARS
Every Line of Business
Was Spirited
Without exception the mer
chants who have expressed an
opinion state their recent holiday
business was the best in several
years. Some go as far as to de
clare they had the best trade in
their entire history.
The business houses were fa
vored by a week of good weather.
Trade, brisk all the week, reach
ed its climax Friday when hun
dreds of eager shoppers thronged
the streets and stores.
Stocks were pretty well sold
out. It was a busy week and all
were glad of an opportunity to
close up and rest Saturday.
The post office also reports a
largely increased business oyer
last year. This was true of mail
dispatched as well as received.
Business of every nature was
so much better than a year ago
that it is hard to make a compar
ison.

“Adlao Ahad”
In the Tawi Tawi Islands, every Sunday is market day, and Bongao is
the place. The natives are Mohammedans, and our Christian Sunday is to
them nothing but “adlao ahad,” which is Malay talk.
Before crack o’ day, any Sunday morning, hundreds of ’em have gathered
from many miles around. Seme have paddled canoes all night in order to sell a
little bunch of garlic and be with the crowd. There’s great hubbub, and muck
ado about little; but by dark everything has changed bands to their complete
satisfaction.
That’s the primitive fashion.
Our cotton markets today are patterned on those same old lines. Cotton needs but
a gathering po:int and a time understood.
We’ve bu'lt here, fer ycur service, a reinforced concrete warehouse, proof against fire
and weather. It’s equipped with the Webb high density compress. You won’t find an
other east of Texas. We’ve got a fire insurance rate that is the lowest in the world on
cotton. We use overhead trolleys, Ike those in big packing houses, and handle a bale for
about 11-2 cents, as against 16 cents with a negro and a truck. We issue a NEGOTIABLE
receipt—one you can borrow money on.
Thirty mills are busy within 40 miles of Atlanta. We lend ’em money, at low in
terest, to buy your cotton. Pretty respectable loc?.l demand, isn’t it?
Your cotton here is between the domestic and fore : gn demands. It can go either
way with ease. You get the advantage in competitive price and readier sale.
The local freight you pay to send your cotton to us is refunded to you when you selL
The buyer applies it in part payment of the total through rate, just as if the cotton had beer g
shipped straight from you to the mill in the first place.
When you’re ready to sell, you get the services of our organization and
And if your cotton has paid two months' storage, we don’t charge one cent of commission.
Here are our charges—and these are all: Handling in and out, 10 cents a
bale; Storage, each month, 25 cents a bale; Insurance, each month, 2 cents a bale.
One bale of cotton stored with us two months and sold by us for you costs
you, for handling, storage and insurance, 64 cents.
Who can beat that?
