CLARK A CO’S COTTON LETTER.
NEW YORK, October 22.—British
bulls could scarcely raise a respecta
ble bellow this morning, and when
the news of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company’s suspension was flashed
to Europe traders unchained the dogs
of war and from this stage on it was
simply a case of sell cotton. Janu
ary was mercilessly hammered to
10.40. It is all very well to talk bull
ish, but when the traders talk bull
ish and sell cotton, there can be
only one result. Better collateral
than cotton is selling for just half
of its real worth on account of the
terrible stringency in the money
market, and it would not be surpris
ing to see cotton follow suit. These
are panicky times and men throw
judgment to the winds. Cotton can
not be successfully bulled at the mo
ment. CLARK & CO.
The thing you get for nothing gen
erally has a string tried to it.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
MAKES EINE SHOWING.
Suggestion That Sign Be
Placed Near Railroad,
“I went out to the Third District
Agricultural College this morning,”
said Mr. Fred Arthur yesterday,
“and I must say that I was delighted
with the appearance of the buildings,
the situation and the indications that
we are to have the model college of
the State.
“The buildings appear to be com
pleted, that is, the main college build
ing and the one dormitory. I under
stand that another dormitory will
be erected in a year or two to meet
the demands on the accommodations.
The buildings certainly show up well,
no matter from what point you view
them. They make an especially fine
showing from the railroad.
“It was not possible to enter the
buildings, but from what could be
seen of the interior it is in keeping
with the exterior, plain, substantial
and thoroughly suited for the pur
poses for which the buildings are to
be used.
“The rubbish is not yet cleared
away from around the buildings.
When that is gone the appearance
will be considerably improved.
Two Good Suggestions
“There are two suggestions that I
wish to make in the interest of the
institution, in which we all feel a
pardonable pride. They are:
“First. Have a large sign put up
down by the railroad, wherever the
depot is to be located, bearing the
inscription in as big letters as it can
stand: ‘Third District Agricultural
College.’ This will be a fine adver
tisement for the college. Standing
where it does, where every day pas
senger on the Seaboard can see it
prominently before him, there should
be such a sign to let him know what
the place it.
“Second. Shade trees should be
put out at once. This should be done
this fall, and before it Is too late.
Superintendent Collum might take
cognizance of this matter, if he is in
position to do so. An avenue of trees
leading dow nt othe railroad station
would be a very attractive feature.
Then there should certainly be some
in the vicinity of the buildings to
take off the aspect of bareness that
now surrounds it. With the grounds
under cultivation, and shade trees
growing, there will be the most at
tractive agricultural college, as well
as the best located, in Georgia.”

AMERICUS DELEGATES
A1 Y.M.C.A.CONVENTION
Agitation Following Recent
Secretaries Meeting.
Secretary Lemley, of the Young
Men’s Christian Association, has re
turned from the gathering of state
secretaries at Macon enthused with
what he saw and heard.
Mr. Lemley was made Secretary to
the conference. In the discussion on
“How We Can Make the State Execu
tive Committee of more benefit to
Our Own Association,” he was the
leader. This was one of the most im
portant of the open discussions.
The state commitee is composed
of representative members taken from
all associations of the state, and they
employ one or more state secretaries,
who travel over the state when neces
sary and aid local associations in dif
ficult places.
Another important subject was that
of establishing a Southern training
school for secretaries. There are two
such schools in the North. It is like
ly that a similar school will be es
tablished in Atlanta next summer.
Need for Secretaries
In the discussion it was shown that
there was a crying need for young
men to enter the work of Y. M. C. A.
secretary. The rapid development of
the organization has created a de
mand for secretaries and many places
cannot be filled on account of the lack
of good men.
“The greatest need of the work,
said Ms. Lemley, yesterday, is not
buildings, nor money, but men of
mental, spiritual and moral jvorth to
undertake and carry on the great ob
jects of this world-wide institution.
“We also discussed the ne wbuild
ings in the state. Americus and
Waycross were shown to be on an
equal footing in the matter of the pro
gress in building, both expecting to
finish their homes soon.
To Big (lathering
“It was decided to make every ef
fort to get as large a delegation as
possible from Georgia to the Interna
tional Convention at Washington late
in November. It is hoped to have a
special sleeper for the Georgia dele
gation.”
On last Sunday State Secretary J.
V. Read was in Americus to take up
the matter of a representation from
the local association. It is probable
that two or three delegates will go
from here.
BOUGHT HIM A HOME
ON THE SALTS.
Col. Thornton Wheatley Se
cures an Ideal Spot.
D o wn on the salts, in the beautiful
suburb of Montgomery, a few miles
out from Savannah, Col. Thornton
Wheatley has bought a summer home.
The deal was consummated on
Monday of this week. Already Col.
Wheatley is planning for the improve
ments that are to be made, that are
t Q convert the spot into an ideal place
for the heated spell.
Facing on the salt river, where the
breezes coming from the ocean but
a short distance away will sweep al
most uninterruptedly across it, he
has purchased a lot 170 feet front by
350 feet deep, with a cottage on it.
The lot runs down to the water’s
edge. In front of the cottage, which
is t 0 be remodeled and improved gen
erally, a walk wil be built out over
the water, leading to a pavilion where
the Colonel and his family and guests
can enjoy the outlook. Beneath will
be built a private bath house.
A gasoline launch will add to the
enjoyment of the place. Oysters
crabs, shrimp, fish, all are at hand,
with boating and bathing gal o re.
Beautiful live oak trees are on the
ground and there is every opportun
ity to make an exceedingly attrac
tive summer residence.
Col. Wheatley looks forward with
the keenest anticipations of pleasure
to the new retreat he has secured. It
is not unlikely that he and his fam
ily will spend several months at Mont
gomery.

"SOUL-STRANGLING”
LONGING TOR WEALTH
Education Would Lift Men
Higher.
LONDON, October 22.—(Special)
In an address to the Manchester In
stitute of Bankers, Sir Frank Forbes
Adam, who has just been elected
president of that institution, ascrib
ed many of the financial crises of
the past half century to what he des
cribed as ‘the soul-strangling longing
for wealth.” He was speaking of the
frequency of crises in the United
States at the time, but he said his re
marks were intended to have gener
al application
“The consuming passion and strug
gle for rapid acquisition of riches
and the accompanying gratification of
material desires had,” said Sir
Forbes, “grown and intensified. This
had narrowed and dimininished the
scope and diversity of the aims, pur
poses, ambitions and motives of men.
The tendency was to be ruled by
and to be absorbed in one engrossing
object, the accumulation of money.
This was the danger that ought to
be counteracted, for it was a fertile
seedbed of crises.
Broaden the Outlook
“The most powerful weapon to,
wield against it,” he declared, “was
a proper and effective system of edu
cation which would exercise a two
fold influence for good. It would
cultivate a broadening of our out
look on life and so bring back a
greater range of interests and a smal
ler concentration on the single soul
strangling longing for weath.
“It would also train men in greater
numbers to think for themselves, to
strive habitually to form independent
judgments on ascertained facts, to
get to the bottom and real value of
things, to examine and weigh teach
ings, assertions and schemes of lead
ing authorities and prominent per
sons in the press and on the plat
form, on change and in the market
place.
He is a wise man who considers it
too much trouble to look for it.

COUNTRY TOO 816 FOR
LASTING INJURY.
In Doubt as to Causes of
Depression.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 22.
—(Special)—“This country is too
big, its resources too vast and its gov
ernment too sound to be wiped out
by the conditions of any stock mark
et. Eventually everything will right
itself and I look for an improvement
shortly.”
Richard R. Rushton, eminent finan
cier and president of the Fourth
Street National Bank, concluded with
the foregoing statement in an inter-*
view on the panicky condition of tfie
stock market.
“I do not regard present conditions
as extremely critical,” he said in res
ponse to a question, "and I look for
an improvement perhaps this week.
The bank clearances last week were
encouraging and if during the present
week brokers are a bit careful of
their margins I see no reason for
alarm.
Cannot Trace Cause.
‘Analyze the situation? Name the
exact causes for the depression? I
cannot do it,” he continued. “I look
ed for a depression at this time of
year as always. Money is tight. It
is crop-moving time and other agen
cies which operate at this time of year
tend to cause a slight depression in
the market, but for the continued de
pression, I cannot give the cause.”
Mr. Rushton said he was not op
posed to the Roosevelt policies of
curbing unlawful combinations, say
ing that they would nave much to do
with restoring confidence. He ad
mitted that the Administration atti
tude no doubt had something to do
with upsetting market conditions.
“Speculation,” he continued, “has
undoubtedly played a part in affect
ing the market, and if it is true that
the stock brokers have been deceiv
ing the public, with false values and
are now being forced to give honest
values, certainly it is a good thing.”
