WILL ORGANIZE
GEORGIA DIVISION
Movement Started at a Big
Meeting at Jefferson
Saturday.
Atlanta, June 11.-With twelve
surrounding counties represent
ed, steps were taken at Jefferson,
Jackson county, on Saturday for
the preliminary organization of
the Georgia Division of the
American Cotton Association.
This association was formalv or
ganized at a meeting in New
Orleans in May, and each state
will perfect its own division.
T. S. Johnson of JefTerson, a
Georgia director of the associa
tion, and manager of the Jeffer
son bonded warehouse, was ap
pointed temporary secretary
treasurer with, authority to re
ceive subscriptions looking to the
formal organization of the Geor
gia division at a big meeting to
be held later on after the farm
ers have laid by their crops.
Mr. Johnson is authorized to
receive subscriptions from all
interested and to receipt for
same. Such subscriptions will
be credited on membership dues
and fees, and those subscriptions
now will be enrolled as members
of the association. These funds
are needed for the purpose of
meeting the expenses of-bring
ing about a substantial state or
ganization.
The meeting was presided over
by Hon. John N. Holder, speaker
of the house of representatives;
and Commissioner of Agriculture
J. J. Brown who took a leading
part in the organization of the
American Cotton Association,
and is one of its executive com
mittee and directors, explained
how it is proposed through this
association to take away from
New York and Liverpool their
assumed and unnatural peroga
tive in putting what prices they
please upon the product of the
southern farmer.
It is proposed to bring this
about through a uniform system
of bonded warehouse, and a capi
tal stock of $50,000,000 raised in
the south, which will enable the
association, with the assistance
of the Federal Reserve Bank, to
finance all distress cotton, so
that it will never have to be
thrown on the market, regard
less of the price. It is proposed
also to uniformly supervise and
control the cotton acreage and
look after domestic financing to
the end that the producer shall
get a fair margin of profit on his
crop.
Organization of the American
Cotton Association will be per
fected as soon as possible in each
of the cotton growing states,
with the definite object of main
taining the victory already won
in the hard-fought cotton battle
of the last eighteen months.
It was particularly appropriate
that the first steps toward or
ganization in Georgia, should
have been taken in Jackson
county, where one of the most
efficient bonded warehouses in
the country has been operating
for some years. Cotton went
into this warehouse when the
price was as low a six cents, and
was financed until sold a few
months later at 18 to 20 cents a
pound.

A headline says the hotel men
are saddened by dryness, and
they are coming from the east
down to Georgia to learn how a
hotel can run without a bar. We
have never been able to under
stand why a hotel must have a
bar, but there are other folks
smarter than we are —Marietta
Journal.
Unless the next session of the
legislature comes to the rescue
the fishing industry in Georgia
is liable to suffer on account of
the inability of the fishermen to
get snake medicine. We would
suggest that the legislature
amend the prohibition law so as
to provide a severe penalty
against snakes running at large.

Twenty-one Georgia counties
have already voted bonds for

* One of the sad features of the
closing exercises of our school is
the fact that so many of our
teachers, who have endeared
themselves to us by their school
work and their personal contact
with our people, are going to
leave us for large schools and
better paying positions. Our
people should bear in mind al
ways that we cannot get the best
teachers without paying for
them. — Cochran Journal.
We are glad to welcome Hon.
Royal Daniel back to the Quit
man Free Press. Mr. Daniel has
recently been honorably discharg
ed from the service of his country,
after rendering splendid service
in the Red Cross work and in
other departments. He is one of
(he most gifted newspaper men
in the State and his work for
this section of the State has been
of a high order. Mr. Daniel has
many warm friends in Adel and
Cook county, he having always
been our staunch friend.—Adel
News.
There is some talk that an ef
fort will be made at the next
session of the legislature to re
instate the two-year term of
county officers, as the four-year
term does not seem to prove
satisfactory thruout the state.
As for this section, that is Taylor
county, the people are very much
pleased with the new plan, and
not interested in changing again.

Slave* in Abyssinia.
The Inhabitants of the Gemlra
country In Abyssinia ar<* pagans. They
appear to believe in a divinity inhabit
ing the sky—not to he Identifier! with
the Wah of the Galia —and also in
secondary genii dwelling on the earth.
Slavery Is not officially recognized, but
It exists In fact, though with some ex
tenuation In form. The slave Is not
free to change hig master; he Is put
In chains If suspected of an Intention
of escaping; he Is beaten if he does
not work or inarch at the will of his
master, and he receives no pay. On
the other hand. If he can he “present
ed” he cannot be openly sold, and
must be designated gnbare (“subject”)
not baria (“slave”). Even these dif
ferences disappear In distant prov
inces like Gemlra, and in times of dis
order. Those who will not submit live
as fugitives In the forests.
