CONSUMATED IN MACON
What is thought to be the largest
cotton deal consumated in Macon in
many years was announced yesterday
by E. H. Rand, local agent for the firm
of J. E. Latham & Company, of Greens
boro, N. C., who stated that he closed
a deal Monday with the Willingham
Warehouse of this city for 1,450 bales
of cotton at 12 cents a pound, which
means an expenditure of $94,000.
The cotton is to be delivered at once
and Mr. Rand stated yesterday that he
saw 400 bales weighed and made
ready for shipment to Greensboro.
The J. E. Latham & Company is one
of the largest cotton concerns in the

Mr. Rand was asked if his company
wanted the cotton for any special pur
pose such as war orders, to which he
replied:
“No, the company has on no special
war orders at the present time but
bought it for their regular use. You
know this company is a very large
concern and can find use for all of the
cotton bought.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the militant suffragetts of England,
showed this photograph of the four war babies she has taken to raise when
she was at the McAlpin Hotel in New York the other day. They are the Miss
es Joan, Elizabeth and Mary, age six months, and Kathleen, one year old.
“The fathers of two were officers killed at the Dardanelles,” said Mrs.
Pankhurst. “I am raising them as an experiment, and am deeply attached
to them. lach has its story, and they were selected as the best examples of
their class. They will be given the same bringing up that my own children
received, and when the time comes for the nation to tackle the problem of
the illegitimate child, as it surely must do, this action must prove a helpful
precedent. lingland has 40,000 such bhabies each year, regardless of war con
ditions, and the term ‘war babies’ was adopted only to give prominence to the
movement of caring for this problem, which is vital.”
