Prochecy on King Cotton. Precariou* is prophecy, with uncertainty emphasized when the subject dealt with is that of cot ton, since on more than one oc casion the white king has not | scrupled to disappoint the expec-j tations of his followers. Discounting, however, the ele ments of hazard and conditions yet to he unfolded, the southern farmer has ground for buoyant optimism in the present auspi cious trend of the markets for spot* ami options. Throughout the country, the former is ranging well up toward 1H cents a pound ;while those who regurd quotations on futures as the shadow of coming events point to an approximately heal thy altitude in this aspect. Should the present prices, or prices of comparative dimensions, prevail throughout the selling sea son, there is ample reason to be lieve that the farmers of the south will enjoy an era of prosperity splendidly compensating them for the relative lean yeur that has just gone into history. And this means, hy inevitable sequence <>f logic, that every oth er industrial and commercial ave nue in the southern states will will flourish in proportionate ra tio. Cotton is the umpire to a great extent, of things commercial in the territory south of Mason and Dixon’s line. If the while fiber j brings u continuously fuir price j in the imirkets of the world, the | benefit is reflected upon every factor in southern business. The farmer is able to pay his debts, to make needed improve- i inents upon his home and planta tion, to better clothe and educate his children, and to lay hy a nest egg against the proverbial rainy day. Conimensurately,the prosperity of the small country town takes on new liorizons.The effect spreads j to the city, stimulating trade and giving a new impetus to individ ual wealth and to the upward ten dency of iddustrial development. In the face of these promising conditions, it is not inappropriate to point out two phases which have un instructive bearing on the subject. The first is that of diversification a doctrine preached energetically for virtually a quarter of a cen tury hy The Constitution. The higher the price the southern farmer gets for his cotton, the greater, necessarily, will he the sums sent out of the south to oth er sections for the sheer essentials of life, such as beef and grain and wheat, and bewildering variety of lesser food products. Practically all of these commo dities could be produced on south ern soil, without diminishing the financial return from the south’s j great money crop. Such proce dure would romove or mitigate ttie unbusinesslike practice ot an nually placing wliut is tantamount ' to a tiio'tgage upon the cotton crop. Tin* other phase is the par amount one of organization and cooperation. In the lust few years tin* Farmers* 1 ni in, with its more than two million houa fide pro ducers scattered throughout the cotton belt, and its warehousing system, has taken a decisive role in movements looking to placing tin* marketing of the crop upon a business and a remunerative ba sis. This year the organization will be more thnn ever prepared to discharge its important functions. If cotton is the umpire ot pros perity in the south, then the or ganized farmers are largely the custodians of the umpire. It is their loyalty to organization that will largely determine the propor tions of the south's business the coming fall and winter. And evi dence that they appreciate the na ture of their responsibilities is ample. —Atlanta Constitution. |, AUTO RAN INTO RAIL ON BRIDGE. Kylvania, Ga., July 17. —Doe dead and eight badly burned is the result of an automobile acci dent which occured Wednesday evening at a picnic about five] j miles from this place. Hewlett Hill is dead. His ! father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. I I George X. liiil, are expected to] die, and Master George X. Hill,! Jr., Reuben Thomas, Lurrine Cooper, Fannie Mi I Is, George Hil ton and Howie Saxon, all child-] ren, mostly in their ’teens, were] severely burned. The automo bile backed against a bridge and ' the railing tore a hole in tin tank filled with compressed gasoline | and an explosion and fire followed, j SAYS DIVERSIFIED CROPS ARE PAYING HANDSOMELY. “I have never seen better ftlid cleaner crops and a more wide spread spirit of optimism among I lie farmers of South Georgia,” said local Superintendent of Hrad street’s Commercial Agency, Mr, K. C. Myers, this morning, upon his return from a trip of several days spent in Tiftoii, Valdosta, Waycross and other places in that section of the state. “The cotton in that section looks like it is high enough now Ito hide a horse, and the corn is likewise in the finest shape and growing rapidly. And what does me so much good is to see that a j feeling of good times ahead is in ] j the air. ‘Another encouraging sign is to see how the farmers of that sec tion are diversifying their crops and are getting away from the all cotton-und corn idea. One farmer in Tilton has just realized $1,600 j from eight acres planted in can taloupes, and he estimates that he will have an additional three hun dred crates, all of which should amount to $1,000.80, or a net pro lit of $1,200. lie is preparing now for a hay crop, which will bring still further returns. “Another farmer and truck grower, whom I met, has sold more than a half million tomato plants from a plot of ground fif teen square yards in area, yield ing a net profit of S2OO. This is the kind of diversified farming that cannot he stressed too much, I because it helps as nothing else does to make the farmer indepen dent and successful. “The wholesale dealers nil along the line of roads which I traveled on my trip are making good sales, and their collections are improv ing every day. And they expect still better times in the fall. Though the crops are not yet made j as the weather of the next 00 days I will have great effect upon them, nevertheless they nro so well ad vanced now as to insure the farm mers of that section a banner year.” PUBLIC SALE. lty virtue of a power to me given, as Hu* assignee of the sot tu lly deed j containing the power given by Jacob !
