W. W. DYKES.
The following address to cotton
planters has been issued by President
J. A. Taylor, of the National Ginners’
Association:
To the Cotton Planters:
I have received so many letters en
dorsing my efforts for a reduction In
acreage from nearly every section of
the South that-1 have decided to con
tinue the work aud by request write
another article on similar lines that
will be curried by the Southern week
ly papers all during this month so
that every planter will have a chance
to read It. Cotton for October, deliv
ery sold this week at eight cents per
pound. Can you produce it at a
profit at this price? No. Then in
order to get a profit on what you
raise this season you must plant less
than you intended planting at first.
Reports on the acrease issued so far
show that the acreage will be about 4
per cent larger than last year. This
is probably due to the new farmers
that have settled in Oklahoma an
West Texas putting in so much new
land. We must more than offset this
increase by reducing in the rest of
the belt.
I again state that the main cause
for the decline in prices is lack of
confidence caused by the fear of a
large crop and even lower prices than
at present. Do you want to grow a
crop at an actual loss? If not reduce
your acreage; then if jfiur neighbor
perelBts in planting a large acreage
and you have to sell your crop at a
loss you lose less than he. If by re
ducing you add $300,000,000 to the
wealth of the South you will not only
receive a part of this but j’ou can
feel that you did your part to add to
the prosperity of tbe country.
Is it good business to plant a crop
where there Is no profit In It?
No. Then let every reader at once
plant part of his present acreage in
tended for cotton In some feed crop,
or let the land lie idle one season as
you can get more money for the crop
grown on the part you do cultivate.
If you have It already planted do not
work it out aB it will be labor thrown
away.
Which do you prefer? To plant your
present acreage and get from 7 to
8 cents per pound or reduce It and
get 11 to 12 cents and possibly high
er. The present contemplated acre
age and good weather means a return
to the old days of cheap cotton of
ten years ago while a reduced acre
age means a continuance of the pros
perity of the past few years.
Let every planter that reads this
at once make up his mind that be
will not be the cause of Wall Street
bears fixing the price for your crop as
they will do with a large crop. Go
to work at once to reduce your owe.
acreage and see as many of your
neighbors as possible at once and
get a united action in this matter as
this is the only way we can be inde
pendent and prosperous.
I urge every merchant and banker
throughout the South to advise their
customers to reduce their acreage as
It means n loss to you as well as to

"DURN FOOLS” HAVE
FEW WORDS 10 SAY
Another Hot Roast for
Hoke Smith.
ATLANTA. GA., May 3.—The two
employes of the Western and Atlan
tic shops who scored the Atlanta
Journal for accusing them of Ingrat
itude for supporting Joseph M. Brown
for Governor, replied yesterday to
that part of Governor Smith’s Fri
day night speech in which he declar
ed that some “coriwration lawyer,”
had written the article.
The men say:
Editor Constitution: Governor Hoke
Smith is still under the Impression
that the workingmen of . Georgia are
“dura fools."
In his stump speech In Cook’s dis
trict last night he told a big audience
that the card In which we replied to
the attack of the Atlanta Journal was
the work of a "sharp corporation law
yer.’
Governor Hoke Smith doesn't be
lieve the working people of Georgia
have brains enough to defend them
selves when attacked by himself or
his organ.
He thinks they must pay “sharp
corporation lawyers” to turn the
trick for them!
It's true Governor, we can't put
out “hired politicians’’ like Judge
Hines, who Is collecting a salary from
the State for doing nothing, tp speak
in our Interests.
Its true, Governor, that your organ
attacks us on its editorial page in
box-car type and buries our anslwer
In microscopic type.
It's also true, Governor that we’re
still—
“Dura fools” about prosperity.
“Dura fools In our unalterable res
olution to send’ back to harmlses priv
ate life a man whose every- name
spells agitation and panic.
"Dura fools’’ about fraud and , de
ception in getting our votes, and
then cowardice in trying to evade res
ponsibility for producing conditions
in Georgia favorable to panic.
“Dura fools” about putting agita
tors like yourself out of office, so as
to render the Job of every working-
man, the prosperity of every farmer
doubly sure.
Still."dura fools,” Governor.

PRIZE WINNER WAS
MISS HALLIE ALLEN
Guessed Americus Popula

• PRIZE WINNER.
Miss Halite Allen—Guess 11,238
One year's subscription to the
Times-Recorder has been awarded to
Miss Halite Allen, her guess on the
population of Americus being the
nearest one received. The actual flg-
uers were 11,272, the winning guess
being 34 below the exact total.
Thus has ended a spirited contest
in which the good judgment of the
participants was the quality that
won. The Times-Recorder gladly
places the name of Miss Allen upon
Its dally subscription list, paid up to
May 3, 1909.
The second best guess was 11,237.
just one below the winner. This guess
was made by Mrs. Fred Arthur, who
will be presented with a copy of the
Directory by the publishers, Messrs.'
Fort and Ames.
Two other guesses were also very
close to the winner, those of Mr.
Chas. L. Ansley, who guessed 11,234,
and Mr. W. T. Weekly, who guessed
11,232. No prizes were provided for
these, except the satisfaction of hav
ing proved a good estimator. The
highest guess was made by Mrs. S.
E. Ryals, who placed the figures at
18,000. This was nearly 5,000 In ex
cess of the next highest guess. The
lowest guess was by Mrs. H. R. John
son, who handed In the figures 9,500.
Mr. H. T. Poe, Jr., guessed 9,600.
Each guess, with the name of the
guesser, was recorded, and a careful
comparison shows that the winners
were kb named.

To facilitate the shipment of the
Immense peach crop In the orchards
of the Bagley-Ray-Gober Co., near
