Churchwell & Co
Starke Corner,
Thomasvilie, Georgia.
Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 20.—A
general meeting of the hard
yarn spmners of the South has
been called, to be held in
lotte. on Jan. 5. when matters
of vital interest to the trade
will be considered. A circular
letter is being mailed to all the
spinners interested to-day,
mg their attendance. This
course was decided upon at
meeting of the advisory board
last night, when the situation
was considered and discussed
length.
The recent slump in cotton
brought about a chaotic
tion in the yarn market, and the
spinners feel that it is
for them to be “up and doing”
if they would avert something
tEat-might be close akin to a
trade catastrophe, When the
price dropped, many mills were
loaded up with the raw material,
bought at high prices, and the
matter that now concerns them
is getting rid of their products
without a loss.

WITH COMPLIMENTS OF .THE SEASON.
| The hundred of employees of
the Augusta Railway and Elec
tric Company We r e completely
taken by surprise yesterday
morning on receipt of a Christ
mas present, the gift of the
company.
It was the regular mid-monrh
pay day. Motormen, conduc
tors, linemen, trimmers, and
other employees, on opening
their pay envolopes found that
they contained in addition to
the amount due, a second en
velope on which was printed:
“ Wishing you a merry Christ
mas and happy New Year.”
Opening this second envelope it
was found to contain a $2.00
bill.
It is needless to say that the
men were- -oleased. The $2 bill
takes the place of the usual
Christmas turkey given the men.
The gift was highly appreciated
by all.

THIS IS THE ADVICE 0 F WUUSSIONER 0

\ a -
Commissioner O. B.
. solves the problem of
better prices for the cotton
! as follows:
I think all this talk
: burning up 500,000 bales of
i ton so as to get better prices
j the remainder of the crop
ipure nonsense, and take
stock in it. What would
j the use of burning it up
j then planting next year to
1 place what has been
: Now’ woouldn’t it be better
to plant . for . .. big
a croo next
* 1 '
and then . would .. not , have
we
burn any cotton? My
I to the farmers is to store
i the half of the present crop,
for instance, 6,000,000
and next year plant for
6,000,000 more. In other
just plant half as much land in
cotton next year as was planted
in cotton this year, and take
rest of the land and put it in
grain and hay. Raise hogs
cattle and home supplies and
independent. The way for the
cotton grower to get his price
for cotton is for him to make
that crop his surplus. When
he can live without being forced
to sell his cotton, he will then
be in a position to demand a
good price for his crop. The
buyers will then ha ve to come to
him instead of his going to the
buyer. If a man is not forced
to sell a certain thing and can
get along without doing so he
is then independent of the other
fellow. This plan in mv opin
ion, beats burning cotton ail
to death.”
“Now, if the planters will
next year plant twenty acres in
cotton to the mule and put the
other twenty acres in grain and
feed stuffs, the crop will be
smaller than it is this year and
we can then hope for better
prices. If we can get practical
ly as much money for 6,000,000
bales as we can get for 12,000,
000 bales, why not raise 6,000,
000, and then on the remainder
of our land raise products that
will make us independent, so
that we can put our own price
on the cotton that we have to
sell. However, it is my opin
ion that we will have a demand
for all the cotton we have, if
not within the next month or
two, why before the next crop
comes in, and if the crop is cut
down w*e will be in just that
much better fix. The countrv
is growing, and naturally we
need more cotton. It is my
opinion that a very large pro
portion of this year’s crop that
has been sold has gone to spin
ners across the waters and that
our own mills have not bought
much more cotton than they
need to work along on until the
1 price comes down to suit them,
or until they feel satisfied that
the price has made a landing
then to stay at least until the
next crop is gathere \
“Let the farmers get in a fix
to live at home, make their cot
ton a surplus crop, and then
they can be independent and
dictate the price.”

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE’S.
Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies
To The Good Qualities of
Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy.
Ashburnham, Out., April 18 ,
1908 .—I think it is only right to
tell you what wonderful effect
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
I was so distressed with a cold and
cough that I did not think to be
able to take any duties the next
day, as my voice was almost chok
ed by the cough. The same day 1
received an order from you for a
bottle of your ouge Remedy. I
at once procured a sample bottle,
and took about three doses of the
medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely
disappeared and I was abl^ to
preach three times on Easter Day.
I knew that this rapid and effec
tive cure was due to your ough
Remedy. I make this testimo
nial without solicitation, being
thankful tb have found such a
Godsent remedy.
Respectfully Langfeidt, yours,
E. A. M. A.,
Rector of St. Luke’s Church,
To Chamberlain Medicine Co,
This remedy is for sale by
