We beg to call to the attention of all farmers the necessity of using your best-endeavors in gathering
and ginning this seasons cotton crop, as the DIFFERENCE IN GRADES 15.50 VERY WIDE your
bank account will be a disappointment to you if you fail tc gather your cotton while 1t 1s white.
Gin Cuts and Low Grades Are Almost Unusuable
At present there is a 15¢ per pound difference in the grades of low middling and good middling coi
ton. and we look for grades to become wider unless we have unprecedenteddry weather. Feelinga per
sonal interest in the farmers we are prompted to call their attention to these conditions which now
confront them.
Careful attention to ginning is imperative. There is a good demand for good grade cotton.

PROMINENT SOUTH GEORGIA
CITIZENS ARE ARRESTED BY
FEDERAL OFFICERS.
Although under the game law of
this state doves can be legally killed
during the month of August it is a
violation of the United States game
law to slay these birds, and as a re
sult a number of prominent south
Georgia citizens have recently been
arrested and will be prosecuted in
the federal court for violating the
federal law by shooting doves out of
season. The most recent arrests was
the taking into custody of Sam B.
Lippett and Ray Pinkston of Albany
and S. B. Smith of Leesburg, who
were required to give bond of $lOO
each for their appearance for trial.
The federal migratory-bird treaty
act prescribes a closed season for
doves in South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama except between
October 16 and January 31. The
state law allows an open season dur
ing the month of August and from
November 20 to February 28, mak
ing dove shooting in August or Feb
ruary a violation of the federal stat
utes on the subject.
While the government season is
from October 16 to January 31, the
federal authorities do not give any
one the authority to shoot doves in
Georgia from August to November
20. The statute on the subject pub
lishes the open season for doves in
Georgia as from November 20 to
January 31. A state hunting license
cannot be procurred for a person
wishing to shoot doves between Octo
ber 16 and November 20, and the
federal government in all cases re
quires the possession of .a state
license.
The conflict between the two laws
has existed for some time, but no
prosecutions have heretofore been
instituted against persons violating
the federal sections on the subject.

$35.500,000 MORE IS
Raise in Rates Will Give Express
Company That Much More. Not
Affected by Recent Increases.
WASHINGTON. Authority to
increase express rates 2 1-2 per cent
was granted the American Railway
Express Company today by the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
The increase by unofficial esti
mates will add $35,500,000 to the
annual income of the company. The
commission’s decision, however, does
not take into consideration the re
cent award of the Railroad Labor
Board of increased wages approxi
mating $43,000,000 to the express
company employes, and it is ex
pected application soon will be made
by the company for an additional ad
vance in rates to meet the wage
scales.
