BIG COTTON DEAL IN
JACKSON LAST WEEK
HOLDINGS OF LAST SEASON
SOLD BY BARKLEY BROTHERS
FOR OVER $28,000 PRICE
WAS 35 CENTS POUND
A cotton deal involving more than
$28,000 was closed here last week,
when Barkley Brothers disposed of
their holdings to J. H. Carmichael &
Cos. There were 155 bales in the lot,
5 bales of long staple, which sold for
40 cents, and 150 bales of upland
cotton which netted 35 cents per
pound. All this cotton was grown by
Barkley Brothers last season. The
price paid and the amount involved
has attracted considerable attention.
Messrs. Barkley disposed of their
entire lot. This is the first time they
have been entirely without some cot
ton since 1913, it was said. They had
previously sold all their old cotton.
While other large deals have been
reported during the saeson, this is
the firstlarge lot of cotton that
brought 35 cents per pound, the high
est p rice paid since immediately af
ter the civil war.

JUDGE SEARCY
WRITES CARD
In Accord With Paper on
Fee System
CITES LABOR SHORTAGE
DISCUSSES IN INTERESTING
MANNER EDITORIAL IN THE
PROGRESS-ARGUS LAST WEEK
—GEORGIA SALARIES LOW
Griffin, Ga., March 23, 1918.
Editor Progress-Argus:
By your leave I want to say a word
in reference to your editorial in this
week’s paper commenting on the re
cent term of the Butts superior court.
What I shall say is in no sense con
troversial spirit, because in the main
I agree with your views, but solely
“to keep the records straight.”
I should perhaps, if the comment as
made had eminated from a less influ
ential and representative source have
paid no attention to it, although it
does appear to be somewhat critical.
I believe with you that the practi
cal and effective way to suppress
traffic in intoxicating liquors is by
imposing sentences at hard labor in
stead of money fines. Under normal
conditions this has been and would be
my practice, but with courts as well
as elsewhere “circumstances alter
cases.” There is a distressing scarci
ty of labor, especially on the farms,
,nd because of the increasing demands
of our government (which ought to
be our first concern) this scarcity is
increasing. The result is the farming
industry, and therefore the food sup
ply for civilian and soldier, is imper
iled. I did not believe this condition
could be bettered by sending thirty
two able bodied men away from Butts
county farms into the chain gang. Of
course these law breakers should not
be turned loose. So to effect a two
fold purpose, viz. Suppress viola
tions of the law and punish offenders
and relieve the labor situation on the
farms, I adopted this course: Impose
substantial fines with the distinct un
derstanding that if the fine was paid
and the convict obeyed the law in the
future this would be the end of that
case, but non payment of the fine or
another violation of these or any pen
al laws would immediately result in a
chain gang sentence of 12 months in
each Case —in every case the “record
was left open” so that this sentence
might at any time be imposed. So
there stands this possible servitude
staring each convicted person in the
face. The result is the farmer gets his
laborer, the law breaker is punished,
the food stuffs are raised to feed citi
zen and soldier and instead of mak
ing a convict and maybe a hardened
criminal of these men the opportu
nity to reform and make good citi
zens is held out to them, with an in
evitable chain gang sentence for
them if they break faith with the
court, and this without the need of
another trial.
I believe, don’t you, that this is the
better way, at this time, and under
the conditions surrounding us, to deal
with the matter?
I have written you this fully be
cause I feel that your editorial must
have been written without a full
knowledge of the facts here stated.
Now so far as the “fee system” is
concerned I have no quarrel wiih you
or any person who favors abolishing
it.
I have always insisted that the pay
men of fees for public service is
wrong in principle. Every public of
ficer should be paid a salary. And ev
ery salary should be sufficiently large
to insure and guarantee the very best
men (or women) mentally and moral
ly to fill these offices. Little salaries
will result in getting little men. It is
a false sense of economy. No success
ful business man or corporation con
ducts affairs on such a basis. They
pay good salaries and demand and get
in return good service. The public
can do the same thing, but the public
must provide salaries that will attract
efficient and skilled men.
Georgia is far behind every other
state of which I have knowledge in
this matter of paying salares—decent
salaries.
Very truly yours,
Wm. E. H. SEARCY, Jr.
