Atlanta, On.,—The best informed
opinion here and in other sections of
the stnto is tlint Georgia will rniso
something like n million bales of cot
ton this year This is the estimate of
frank Inman, of Atlanta, probably one
of tho best informed cotton experts in
the southern stntes.
Condition reports and tho volume of
reseipts up to tho prosont time indicate
such n yield. The crop is rolling in
all over the state, particularly in Atlan
ta, and business is responding os it al
ways docs, business men boro point
out, when a rising money tide flows
through tho channels of trade.
The Routh’s greatest toinforcod con
crete fireproof sprlnklcrod warehouse—
with a capacity of a quarter of a mil
lion bales and possibly more, has al
ready begun to handle many shipments
of Georgia cotton. With tho absolute
security demanded by city banks, by
country banks and by federal roservo
banks, the receipts of tho Cotton Stor
age i'iunnco Company lossees of too
big -.warehouse, it wus statod here to
day, liavo boon made two-namo receipts
requiring the knowledge of bonded of
ficers of two responsible corporations
prior to storngo in or withdrawal from
tho warehouse.
It was announced by cotton mon hero
that tho compress department at tho
warehouse, under the name of the Ship
pers Compress Company, issues receipts
for nil cotton stored and released all
withdrawals. T6 tlioso Tocoipts the
certificates Of tho Cotton Storage Fi-
nnneo Company aro attached, specify
ing -weights, marks and grades of eV-
ory lot of cotton received. This com
bination, duly witnessed by bonded of
ficers, cotton mon hero deelaro, makes
tho strongest warehouse recoipt yet dq-
vised.

At noon Thursday a delicious barbe
cue was served in tho City Park near
the spring, given by tho DIRECTORS
of the Carrollton Bank. Let it bo
made clear that it was not the Bank’s
barbecue, not a cent of the Bank’s
money helped to defray tho expenses.
Tho directors themselves of their own
private funds bore the expense. It
was an old fashioned Georgia barbecue
with the pork and the mutton cooked
thoroughly dun. Charlie Ball was
“the cook,” but tho good wives and
daughters of the directors served.
There was cue in nlmmlnnec and to
spare.
After dinner was over there were n
number of after dinner speeches for
the ‘‘good of the bank.” Hon. R. D.
Jackson was master of ceremonies.
Judge C. E. Roop, president of tho
bank was the first speaker, other speak
ers that followed were: Rev. W. L.
Barber, Mr. L. C. Mnndovillo, Rev.
John P_ Erwin, Hon. John R. Sppnco,
Dr. Gilbert Dobbs, Mr. W. L. Folds,
Mrs. Buford Boykin, Mrs. C. E. Roop,
and others.
A statement was made by President
Roop that tho bank is on its ‘‘feet
again,” and that tho foundation is
solid. All papers having boon renowod
except what is now in suit. That tho
bank has 4 surplus-of more than $36,-
000.00; that the deposits to day subject
i to check is more than $45,000.00 and
that tho outlook for the bunk is quito
flattering if the stockholders will now
lend their assistance. It was a good
day for the bank, and an hour and a
half of real enjoyment for those
present.
GEORGIA RANKS SECOND
IN THE PRODUCTION
OF SWEET POTATOES
Walker had easy running in
the state primary Wednesday,
being nominated for Governor
by A handsome majority, car
ried 114 counties, Hardwick
carrying 46. These two men
were candidates in the primary
two years ago with John N.
Holder also, who was a third
candidate. The race* was so
close two years ago that no
one candidate was nominated
on the first ballot. Hardwick
and Walker being the two
highest they had a run-over
race in a sefcond primary.
Holder’s influence, also that of
Senator-elect Thos. E. Watson,
Was both thrown to Hardwick,
and he was winner in the run-
over primary and was elected
and is serving his first term.
Tired and “inspired” Mr.
Walker decided to try again in
the primary this year. Seem
ingly without effort on his part
he was overwhelmingly nomi
nated Wednesday. ,He made
no speeches, and unlike Little
Joe Brown did not even “write
a card.” It seemed that he
was a winner from the start.
In the other races Brown was
leading for Commissioner of
Agriculture; Davison for Pris
on Commissioner; Johnson for
Railroad Commissioner to suc
ceed Candler; Perry to succeed
himself; Russell for Chief Jus-
tice Supreme Court; Bell for
Court of Appeals.
In Wednesday’s primary
Hon. I. H. P. Beck received
1530 votes, Hon. John R.
Spence 1388, Judge James
Beall, 930. Mr. Beck was re
nominated, the other repre
sentative- Horn James L. Smith
declined to stand for re-elec
tion.
A very light vote was polled

Atlanta, Ga.,—Georgia rgnks second
in tho production of sweet potatoes and
second among the Btntes shipping the
most sugary verities known as south
ern sweet potatoes, but in totnl num
ber of carlot shipments of all kinds of
sweet potatoes it ranks sixth, accord
ing to officials of tho Atlanta, Birm
ingham and Atlantic railway. The
agricultural diversification among farm
ers of South Georgia, has taken a keen
interest in tho sweet potato industry
and was instrumental in establishing
potato curing houses along the lino of
road. Tho curing process has enabled
tho farmers tp presorve thoir product
and reach markets at a great distance,
making shipments to Europe.
It was stated here today that swoot
potato production lias increased from
6,035,000 bushels in 1900 to 13,764,000
bushels in 1920. There has been a
marked increase in production since

WHY MANY
DON’T SAVE
THIS IS TO ANNOUNCE
THE REVIVAL
Saving money, you will find, is not wholly a Dollar,
and Cents matter.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
Saving money is, first of all, a Brain and Backbone
matter. And this is just the reason why so many
people who make money can’t save any of it. They
don’t think and have little self control.
' ’The stub' in' his check book shows to whom he
paid his money, and he may make it show exactly
for vchat each sum was paid.
In other words the check-book stub is a simpli
fied’ for-rii. oL keeping books that is valuable to any
man, and especially to the working man or farm
er pho possibly, keeps no other form of books show
ing his receipts and expenditures.
The mail'who pays cash as he goes frequently
wonders “what becomes of his money. Not so with
the man who- pays with checks on his bank ac
count.
And to extend a cordial invitation to all Carrollton,
and friends of"our community to attend.
Happily, however, there are very few who can
not learn the necessary lessons, if th6y will.
These Services will be conducted by Rev. Richard
Orme Flinn,- D. D., Pastor of North Avenue Presby
terian Church, Atlanta.
The time to start is today and the place is Citizens
Bank.
The hours will be, in the morning, beginning
promptly at Ten and closing promptly at Eleven.
In the evening beginning at seven-thirty.
