THE COTTON HOLDING
SITUATION
Chairman J. S. Floyd of the Geor
gia Bankers Association has an
nounced that Georgia bankers have
formed a syndicate to aid in the re
tirement of 300,000 bales of surplus
cotton from the market, and the
bankers will underwrite a fund of
$12,000,000 for the financing of this
cotton.
The plan for retirement agreed
upon by the bankers and the of
ficials of the Co-operative Cotton
Association, is a follows:
“1. Georgia bankers, through the
syndicate, will extend to the co-oper
aitve association $12,000,000 for ad
vances on cotton to growers who are
members of the co-operative, or who
may become members and take ad
vantage of the assistance offered.
“2. Lend from time to time to the
association, upon its notes or accept
ances, amounts from said funds upon
the cotton placed with the associa
tion in pools for a period of time
coincident with the duration of the
pools of the association, not to ex
ceed 24 months.
“3. Make such loans to the asso
ciation sufficient to cover advances
to grower-members as may be agreed
upon by representatives of the syndi
cate formed by the bankers of Geor
gia and the board of directors of the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-opera
tive Association.
Co-op Agreement
“4. Act as an advisory committee
with the board of directors of the
cotton co-operative on ways and
means of handling the cotton to be
retired during! the present emer
gency.
“The Cotton Co-operative agreed
as follows:
“1. To accept growers as new
members of the association for the
last year of its original five-year con
tract and under which the member
is required and can deliver cotton
only for the present season.
“2. To retire and withhold from
the market cotton delivered by its
members in keeping with commer
cial wisdom and in co-operation with
the other Southwide cotton co-per
ative in the cotton-growing states.
“3. To borrow money with which
to make advances to members who
deliver their cotton, from the bank
ers’ syndicate and other sources, at
an interest rate to be agreed up by
its board of directors and managers
of the syndicate.
“4. To withhold from the market
necessary percentages of its pools at
the present and throughout the
season, and for a time not to exceed
24 months, during the present emer
gency situation, having, however, at
all times due regard for the ultimate
safety of the association.”
Jail Inspector Visits
Jackson County Jail
Mr. Frank Loveland, Jr., of the
State Department of Public Welfare,
accompanied by Mrs. F. M. Bailey,
chairman of Jackson county jail in
spection committee, visited and made
a thorough inspection of the county
jail a few days ago.
The results were very satisfactory,
showing that Jackson county’s jail is
now almost classed among the first
in the State.
He noted a marked improvement
Within the past few years, as three
meals a day are served now, instead
of two.
Good hot and cold water connec
tions and electric lights.
The cell cages have been painted,
and the walls of the Jailor’s corridors
white washed within the last year.
Sanitary mattress covers are now
in use, which protects the mattresses
•nd saves money.
Some repairing to the roof and the
first floor and some cementing, are
Heeded. When that is accomplished,
the Jackson county jail will be class
ed among the Ideal Jails of Georgia.

THE GEORGIA ASSOCIATION
PRESENTS THE ONLY WAY OUT
FOR GEORGIA AGRICULTURE
(By H. G. Hastings)
In a middle Georgia county the
other day, as reported in a news
story, a farmer complained about the
high price of hogs.
“Last week,” said the report, a
Blank county farmer, who made fif
teen bales of 11-cent cotton, com
plained to this writer because the
price of hogs-on-the-hoof is so high—
‘out of all reason; enough to break
a man,’ is the way he expressed it.
Asked, in astonishment, why he, a
farmer, should grumble about the
high price of hogs, his answer was
that he had to buy the winter supply
of meat for himself and large family.”
This farmer, a tenant farmer, by
the way, had raised a crop of cot
ton ; still he was beset with the prob
lem of feeding his family.
His problem is Georgia’s outstand
ing problem—feeding the family.
We can’t solve it by raising cot
ton, or any other one crop.
Georgia must difersify. She must
feed herself. Instead of being a
consumer of pork, beef, eggs and
dairy products of the states north
and west, where agronomic and cli
matic conditions are not nearly so
propitious for the production of those
commodities as they are here, we
must produce them at home.
The average Georgia farmer still
kicks because hogs are high!
He feels hard-done-to because he
has to pay so much for his bacon,
the eggs and cheese and butter that
he needs for his family table!
That is the truth, and that is the
incongruous situation that obtains in
Georgia.
That is the situation, and it needs
a remedy.
As I see it, the remedy is a general
system of diversification of farm
crops, and the curtailment of cotton
growing except where cotton can be
intensively grown to the amount of
upwards of a bale to the acre.

“NOTHING DOING”
Frequently you pick up a local
paper, and after glancing over it
wearily, thrust it aside, remarking,
“Nothing in the paper this week.”
Did you ever stop to think what that
phrase—nothing in the paper, means?
It means that in the week just pass
ed no misfortune has befallen the
community, that no fire has wiped
out a neighbor’s worldly goods; that
the grim angel of death has crossed
no threshold of a friend; that no man
driven by liquor, hatred or fear has
taken the life of a fellow human; that
no poor devil, haunted by the past or
the misdeeds of some other; has cross
ed the divide by his own hand.
Think about it.—Calhoun Times.

GOVERNOR IS EXPECTED
TO NAME J. H. DOZIER
BANKS’ SUPERINTENDENT
In state capitol circles, it is gen
erally expected that Governor Walk
er will appoint James H. Dozier, the
present tax commissioner, to succeed
T. R. Bennett as state bank superin
tendent when the latter’s resignation
becomes effective about the first of
the year.
And it is also expected in capitol
circles that John Wilson, executive
secretary to the governor, will be
named to suceed Mr. Dozier as tax
commissioner.
No confirmation of these rumors
can be had, as the governor has
made no announcement concerning
his plans for naming a successor for
State Bank Examiner Bennett.

Ford And His Five-Day
Program
Few of us are able to make a liv
ing working six days in the week,
( and now comes along one of the
greatest business men of the age and
insists that we need a five-day work
, ing week, because, first, it is good
j business; and, second, with two days
of weekly leisure, more people will
go to church.
The new week that Ford sees com
ing comprises:
Monday to Friday, inclusive, labor.
Saturday, recreation.
Sunday, religious devotion.
Both physical and spiritual recre
ation, he declares, are essential to
the perpetuation of the human race.
People of today have stressed the!
physical to the neglect of the spirit-1
nal. In the “squirrel cage-round of
work and recreation which they have
devised they have left no place for
the church.”
The solution of the probelm of
spiritual development lies in greater
leisure.
The five-day week provides the
opportunity for physical recreation
on the sixth day and leaves the sev
enth free for moral and religious ob
servance.
No one should be more jealous in
his insistence upon the preservation
of Sunday than the workingman.
The church will receive rewards
from new leisure commensurate with
the force it exerts in directing the
intelligent use of it.
“The five-day week has been con
sidered heretofore largely in the cold
light of business. It is good business;
but it is just as sound from the spir
itual standpoint. The church will be
one of its chiefest beneficiaries.
“The commonest excuse moat peo
ple give for not going to church is
lack of time. Like most excuses it
has in it a grain of truth. Life, as
some may view it, is divided into two
parts; one, the co-ordinated expend
ing of human faculties, called work;
the other, the rebuilding of those
faculties, called recreation.
“Recreation does not necessarily
mean play. Its basic meaning is to
impart new vigor, to refresh after
labor. But in the recreative pro
cesses these men have given an un
due importance to play. They have
stressed the physical to the neglect of
spiritual. In the squirrel-cage round
of work and recreation which they
have devised, they have left no place
for the church.
“Men need contact with nature.
They need the vigor that is imparted
by treading fresh-turned earth. They
need to watch the common, every-day
miracles of nature as they unfold in
the open country. But they need
more than these. They need contact
with the spiritual. They need the
guiding influence of the church. Both
physical and spiritual recreation are
essential to the perpetuation of the
race.
“Unfortunately when men are
forced to make a choice between the
two, many are prone to choose the
former. It is a regrettable trait,
but one which must be faced.
“The solution lies in greater leis
ure. People’s minds expand and their
sense of a fuller life grows stronger
during their leisure hours. Culture is
a product of leisure.
"The five-day week provides the
opportunity for physical recreation
on the sixth day and leaves the sev
enth free for moral and religious ob
servance. It helps restore the Sab
bath to its former high ’place. It
means larger attendance at church.
“A great philosopher has said that
religion is the conservation of values.
It is more than that. It is the bul
wark of the people. No one should
be more jealous in his insistence up
on the preservation of Sunday than
the workingman.”
UNIVERSITY BREAKS

Let Us Be Thankful
The entire nation is today cele
brating Thanksgiving, a day set apart
to give thanks for our blessings and
to remember our mercies. No matter
under what conditions we live, and
what our circumstances may be, we
all have much to be thankful for;
therefore, let us forget our troubles,
'and remember our mercies.
The first Thanksgiving was Dec.
13th, 1621, celebrated by the Pil
grims, who that year harvested a
bountiful crop on their strip of bar
ren land. This was a great blessing
to these troubled and starved peo
ple, but let us pause to consider how
multiplied are our blessings and com
forts as compared with theirs.
The next Thanksgiving was July
30th, 1623. It was not until the
administration of President Abraham
Lincoln that the custom of observing
the last Thursday in November was
begun.
In our thankfulness, we should
remember our dependence on our
Maker. Along with our gratitude
there must be a spirit of humility.
We must not forget our absolute de
pendence upon God, realizing that
everything we have and all the bles*
ings we enjoy come from Him.
Individually and nationally we have
much to be thankful for, and a few
moments of thought will disclose am
ple reason for gratitude.
Whatever our troubles are, they
might he worse. Most of us get
more than we deserve. If \\. could
see a daily balance shoct of our
credits and debits as our Master sees
them, we would undoubtedly feel sin
cere gratitude for what we have been
spared.
THANKSGIVING
Thank God for His favors.
Abundant and deep—
The days for our striving.
The nights for our sleep.
The treasures He gives ua
All through the hour*,
The gleam of the sunlight.
The perfume of flowers.
The song of the wildbirds
In spring’s lovely ways.
The beauties and wonders:
We see through the days.
The laughter of childhood.
The home hearth’s bright glow.
The sweet ties of kinship,
Friends whom we know.
The harvest so bounteous
That grows in our field.
Filling our barns
With generous yield.
Thank God for His favors—
Today we bow low
And whisper our thanks
For the gifts that we know.
