GREATQUESTIONS
FOR COTTON MEN
Minimum Price Only
One Phase of Mont
gomery Meeting
ATLANTA, August 31. —Leading
cotton men from various sections of'
the state are in Atlanta today hold
ing a conference with officials of
the American Cotton Association pre
paratory to their departure tonight
for Montgomery, Ala., where the
semi-annual meeting of the cotton
association will be held tomorrow.
The Montgomery convention, which
will be attended by officials and
members of the association from all j
part of the South, promises to be
of unusual interest and importance.
Sessions covering a three-rlay period
will be held in the city auditorium
of the Alabama city.
President R. W. Mattox, of the
Georgia Division of the American
Cothon Association, will head the
Georgia delegation. Among others;
who will attend will be Harvie Jor-j
dan. secretary of the national asso
ciation; J. J. Brown, commisisoner,
of agriculture, and L. B. Jackson.;
director of the state bureau of mar-;
kets. Both Mr. Brown and Mr. Jack
son are members of the acreage and
price committee, Mr. Brown being
chairman. Commissioner Brown will
insist on 40 cents as the lowest fig
ure as the lowest price for cotton
that can be considered. He thinks
it likely that the committtee may
recommend more than 40 cents.
The association has been urged
not only to give consideration to a
recommendation for a minimum price
for cotton and seed but to also ar
range plans and see that they are put
into systematic operation in every
county of the fourteen cotton pro
ducing states to assure a large in
crease in the acreage of small grain
this fall and food and feed crops
next spring, and the drastic reduction
in cotton acreage.
On account of the enormous in
crease in the scope of the work of
the American Cotton Association the
board of directors, it is stated, will
subdivide and systematize the work
in o various departments, electing
one of the most prominent and suc
cessful men of the South as vice
president and general manager. The
report of the consideration and plans
will be put into effect to assure the!
uniform adoption of the co-opera
tive plan for handling and market-;
ing the cotton crop throughout the!
entire cotton belt.
A special committee of the lead
ing representatives from every cot
tor. producing state will be appointed
for the purpose of holding confer
ence with the Federal Reserve Bank
ing officials and also leading finan
cial institutions sq as to absolutely
t are the securing of the comple
tion of necessary financial arrange
ments to enable the producers to
market and warehouse their cotton,
stretching the sale of it over a full
twelve months period and only sell
ing when the minimum price named
by the American Cotton Association
has been reached.
Another important matter at the
Montgomery convention, which has
been recommended by President
Wannamaker, will be the formation
of an export trading corporation for
the purpose of trading in Europe,
the stock of which is to be paid for
in cotton. Mr. Wannamaker will
ask that a million bales of cotton
be subscribed in the stock of this
corporation and that each of the cot
ton producing states take its pro
portionate share.

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH.
Bob Refuses to Fall for Katherine
Miller’s Petty Trick.
Having hurt myself as much as I
could with the reflection that Bob
and Katherine might share a dispo
sition to harmonize, and having de
cided that a soft voice in a woman
is often excellently worth cultivat
ing—even if it says nothing—l pick
ed up my blue blossoms and start
ed for the kitchen door. I stopped
on the threshold intending to be fair
to Katherine, if not generous. 1
planned to say:
“Katherine, you’re laugh is won
derful!”
But I never was to pay my rival
that pretty tribute. 1 caught a
glimpse of my husband in the mid
dle of the room; I saw the slender
silhouette of Katherine against the
wall by the table, and 1 was about
to speak when Miss Miller pressed
a push button and switched off the
lights!
Involuntarily, I shut my lips tight
and kept back the friendly compli
ment. Steps crossed my linoleum,
but no other sound came from the
darkened kitchen.
What ought a wife to do under
the conditions? Run away?
In the name of honor, 1 couldn’t
stand in the doorway very long. I
must make my presence known. My
heart almost stopped beating as I
imagined the insinuating nearness t<x
Bob which Katherine Miller had had
in her mind to achieve when she
turned off the electricity. At best,
such a bit of spoon would last only
half a minute—and the girl had risk
ed a good deal to get it.
It was just one more revelation
of what Miss Miller was like. I felt
that I could trust my husband so far
as his own conduct went, but I want
ed more than that. I wanted Bob to
see the true nature of the tiger lady.
1 wanted him to avoid her. And I
wanted him to be fair to me.
Jf I ever let go of my .reserve, if I
ever play the coquet to attract him,
Bob is always out of temper. He
says I am acting, but I am not. I
am only very feminine. And as I
remembered how he enjoyed the
lighter moods in Katherine’s ex-

tremely light nature, I felt indig

me responsible for sweet dignity
and common sense while he indulged
Katherine in every silliness?
The episode in the kitchen was
only another detail of the drama
which had gone On between them,
plotted perhaps by the woman and
undetected by the man, ever since
I had come to live in the ■Lorimer

And Bob didn’t see through the

Katherine had moved to the mid

standing.
Bob had disappeared! Bob had
fled. He had fallen for the cheap
trick! Indeed, it was only such a
trick as a woman with the mind of
a child would think of carrying out.
Her cuteness had failed and I could
afford to smile rather complacently,
I am afraid, as she" turned toward

The Way It Is Done;
Home Town is Loser
A New York cloak and suit manu
facturer makes up a line of goods.
He sells to retailers in New York, to
retailers in Atlanta, and to retailers,
for example, in Americus.
The New York retailer fits up a
traveling representative with a lot of
fancy engraved invitation cards. The
traveling representative comes to
Atlanta and engages a suite of rooms
in the finest hotels and mails out the
invitation cards and inserts a very
nifty and modest little advertisement
in the newspapers saying that “Mr.
So-And-So,” representing So-And-So,
of Steen Hundred and Steen Fifth
Avenue, will be at the Marble Col
umn Hotel for the week with an ex
elusive showing, etc., etc.”
And the Atlanta dealer prints a
lot of fancy engraved invitation
cards and his traveling representa
tive pulls the same stunt in Ameri
cus or Albany. And the small city
women think Atlanta dealer has their
local stores laid in the shade; while
the Atlanta women think the styles
which they are graciously permitted
to view in the Marble Column Hotel
could not be duplicated outside of
Paris.
In the last seven -or eight years
diamonds have risen 200 to 250 per
cent in value.

Court Defines Blind
Tiger and Bootlegger
ATLANTA, August 31.—D0 you
know th difference between a boot
legger and a blind tiger, or in your
ignorance did you imagine they were
about the same?
Well, the Supreme court has. de
termined and defined the difference
in a decision handed down.
A bootlegger is “a person who sells
intoxicating liquors unlawfully on the
sly, not from any particular busi
ness location, but carrying his wares
in his pocket* or somewhere else
about his person.”
“But when a person establishes
himself in a definite place of busi
ness, where he may even pretend to
be selling other things but where he
really sells liquor unlawfully then he
is a blind tiger.”

office of state legislator from Sumter

I favor an economic administration
of the state’s affairs, and if elected

tion. I shall appreciate the support of
