Randolph Rose, Jr, Becomes Con¬
spicuous Figure In Cotton World
Wall St.—Associated with Father
ATLANTA, Ga., April 29.—South¬
erners, and especially Georgians,
will be very much interested in the
^iewg which ccmes from New York
City of the success of Randolph Rose,
Jr., who, as the youngest cotton
broker in Wall street, has gained the
distinction of^doing the largest vol¬
ume of business on the American
Cotton Exchange.
Randolph Rose, Jr., is the junior
member of the firm of Rose & Son,
with offices on Stone street, and is
recognized as the largest odd-lot
cotton house in the world. His fath¬
er, the senior member of the firm, is
also the senior member of the firm
of Rose & Co., investment bankers,
on Broad street.
Going tp New York after the world
war, Randolph, Jr., entered upon his
career as a cotton broker. Everybody
knows the course of cotton since that
time. Its variations, its fluctuations,
are a part of the commercial and
agricultural history of the country;
and the conditions attending the
market from day to day have dis
couraged many an older operator
than Mr. Rose. Difficulties did not
discourage him and uncertainties
were but an incentive to effort.
Young Rose attracted business and
‘ was soon not only in the front rank,
but was its most conspicuous figure,
Both members of the cotton firm
of Rose & Son know cotton as few
men in world’a largest cotton mar¬
ket know it. Recently Mr. Rosp, Sr.,
visited many of the cotton centers of
the South and he expressed himself
strongly in favor of the reduced ac¬
reage movement. He showed very
closely that cotton at the present
time can be bought much cheaper
than it can be raised. The price now,
as he stated, is far below the cost of
production—a misfortune due in a
large measure to the lack of funds
in Europe and the inability of do¬
mestic concerns to extend long term
credits abroad.
According to announcement just
made here the war finance corpora¬
tion in Washington is anxious to aid
in the export of cotton to improve
economic situation in the South. Mr.
Rose and other leading cotton men
in New York are acquainting bank¬
ers, exporters and cotton men gen¬
erally of developments that are in
any way calculated to aid the cotton
industry.
Louisiana’s turpentine and rosin
production is worth from $65,000,
000 to $76,000,000, a year.

Remains of Georgia Boy, Killed in
France, to Be Returned to His
Parents in Milner.
The body of Frank M. Hunt, Com¬
pany A., 151st Machine Gun Battal¬
ion, Rainbow division, a popular Pike
county boy who died in France, fight¬
ing, will be returned to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. T. 3. Hunt, of Milner.
Mr. Hunt was a well-known and loved
Macon man, having lived in that city
many years. He was a member of
the division which met in reunion in
Macort Tuesday.
Frank Hunt waS a conductor of the
Central of Georgia Railway, having
worked his way up in the service of
that road from flagman to conductor
when he enlisted on August 15, 1917.
On July 28, 1918, while in action with
the 151st he was killed, the first and
only member of A1 Sinah Temple,
Shriners, to die in France. He was
also a Knight Templar.
It was the request of Mr. Hunt
that if he should fall in France, that
he remain buried where he fell, and
that no tears be shed for him unless
they were tears of joy, for h£ wrote
his mother, “Mama, I know that I’ll
at last meet you in a better land,
shortly before he met death.
, When papers asking what disposi¬
tion to make of the body came to Mr.
Hunt, father of the deceased, the re¬
ply was to leave the body buried in
France if the cemetery was to be a
national one under the care of the
United States; but if the body was to
be hauled across France to another
place ,to bring it home. The time for
the return of the body home is not
yet known.
It is understood that the railroad
brotherhoods have launched a move¬
ment to erect a monument to his
memory.

SAY BUSINESS MEN
Save Money at Reduced Spring Pri¬
ces and Help Idle Miners to Feed
Their Families.
» ATLANTA, April 29.—More time¬
ly perhaps than in other years is the
advice that is being given in Atlanta
and other sections of the State and
the South to buy next winter’s supply
of coal in the spring, according to
Atlanta business men. This advice
was given by newspapers last year
and was acted upon by many, with a
very considerable saving in cost to
them.
"There are more reasons for early
coal buying this year than there were
last year,” said an Atlanta business
man, who is not a coal dealer, “and
the wise man, who knows that he
must have a certain quantity of coal
to run his home through next winter,
is the one who buys that coal at
reduced spring prices and thus saves
money while at the same time
ing the danger of being unable to
cure a supply later in the year.”
Of all the essential things, as
ed out here, coal has become the
uncertain. Most people know how
strike of coal miners can cut off
normal supply and put up the
to prohibitive figures.
But there is a patriotic side to
buying of coal now, say Atlanta
iness men, quite Aside from the
ing that would ensue. The mining
coal will help employ idle miners
furnish food for women and

ENTHUSIASM AT
GA. TECH
Governor Dorsey Stresses the
Point of the Support Due the
Georgia School of Technology
By Georgia Citizens.
SOLICITING CAMPAIGN
IN GRIFFIN NEXT WEEK
Local Team Captains and Exe¬
cutive Committee Appointed
—Committees to Meet at
Board of Trade Saturday
Morning to Perfect Plans.
The Georgia Tech meeting at the
city hall Thursday night was at¬
tended, by one of the most represen¬
tative audiences that has assembled
in Griffin in many a day, and the in¬
terest in the subjects discussed was
of the most intense character.
W. G. Nichols, of Griffin, district
chairman for the Tech movemenjb,
opened the meeting with a few in¬
troductory remarks and then intro¬
duced the chairman for the meeting,
Lewis H. Beck, a Griffin Tech grad¬
uate, who in turn introduced the
speakers of the evening.
Gov. Dorsey’s Speech.
Goverao/ Dorsey opened the sub¬
ject of the support due to the Geor¬
gia School of Technology. He spoke
with pride of Georgia’s great insti¬
tution and of the men whom it had
turned out. He said the highest paid
expert in manufacturing in the Uni¬
ted* States is a graduate of Georgia
Tech. He told of others holding
most responsible positions, both in
the North and South, who were grad¬
uated at Tech. He told of the strug¬
gle the institution has had, of the
lack of support it received from the
State itself or the citizens of the
State and stated that had it not been
for help received from outside of
Georgia it would never have grown
to even its present inadequate pro¬
portions. ' 4
He appealed to the citizens of
Griffin to get behind the present
movement and set an example for
other towns and localities in the
State. The governor's address was re¬
ceived with enthusiastic applause. It
was plain, convincing and very much
appreciated.
Dr. M a the son Speaks.
Chairman Beck then introduced
Dr. Matheson, president of Tech,
who launched out into a brilliant dis¬
cussion of the necessity of education
and especially in Georgia, where
there are so many natural resources
that need the attention and treat¬
ment of technical experts, who ought
to be made out of out own home hoys.
Fine young men is one of the nat¬
ural resources of Georgia and this
one needs development along with
those of a more material nature and
it is the intention of Georgia Tech to
prepare to train 5000 of Hie boys.
Dr. Matheson held his hearers un¬
der a spell from the beginning to the
end of his address.
Team Captains.
The following team captains were
appointed for helpmg the Tech
movement in Griffin: First Ward: J.
B. Mills; Second Ward J. P. Nicftols,
Jr.; Third Ward, L. H. Beck;. Fourth
Ward, T. T. Blakely.
An executive committee composed
of /. H. Cheatham, J. W. Gresham,
J. W. Hammond, D. J. Bailey and
M. J. Daniel, was appointed and will
begin work immediately.
Meeting Saturday.
A meeting of committee* will be
held Saturday at the rooms of the
Board of Trade at 2 p. m., for the
purpose of perfecting organization
to begin a soliciting campaign. This
campaign will begin the first part of
next week, with headquarters at the

mittee to appoint a ladies’ commit¬
tee to assist in the work of the cam¬
paign.
