SAYS WHEN SHIPS COME TO
CARRY IT TO EUROPE THE
PRICE WILL ADVANCE.
SAVANNAH, Ga.—Jacob S. Col
lins, of the Oglethorpe Savings &
Trust company, gave to the Savan
nah Press today a statement relative
to the cotton situation that is full
of interesting information. Mr. Col
lins said:
“In looking at the cotton quota
tions, which in my opinion are large
ly due to manipulations, and saking
into consideration the amount of cot
ton needed to supply the world, as
well as the cost of producing it, the
hand _of the ‘manipulator’ appears to
have been played very high.
Cost of Production.
“Taking figures furnished to me
by intelligent and reputable farm
ers, it is claimed cotton at 32 cents
_per pound will show a net loss of $8
per bale to the farmer. |
“I am reading, with considerable
interest, the various opinions given
by first one and then another bank
er and the concensus of opinion ap
pears to be that the farmer should
sell his cotton. The action of the re
gional reserve banking system has
greatly depressed the cotton market,
as has the advice of the governor of
that institution to the committee
which called on him seeking finan
cial relief in the handling of cot
ton that ‘they should go home and
help themselves and sell their best
grades and stop begging’ This is
rather out of line with the claims
which were made for the regional
banking system when it was enacted
into a law. Those favoring the act
creating the system were loud in
their expressions as to the great ben
efits which would flow to the farm
er in the handling of his product. All
of this seems to have been forgotten
or the system has found more prof
itable fields in which to operate.
Steamers Chartered.
“It is a well known fact that a
great number of steamers have been
chartered to come to the southern
ports to be loaded with cotton and
it is well known to the man#ulators
that with a rush of cotton to the
market, with the inability of the
banks to properly finance it, they
can hammer it down to suit them
selves. The answer to all of this is
that the faymer who is able to do so
should hold his cotton. In 1914 a
meeting of the bankers was held in
Savannah and, though good middling
was selling at seven cents per pound,
it was the opinion of one of the
larger bankers that cotton would go
lower. I took the position that we
would see high prices for cotton, and
this position was verified and, all
.along up to this season, I have been
correct in my opinion of the cotton
market. . :
“I am not in the cotton business,
but my bank has numbers of people
doing business with us who raise
cotton; therefore, T am interested,
and then also for the further reason
that a city is only so good as the
surrounding country makes it. Fail
ure to the farmer means failure to
the city to’ which he is accessible. |
.Regional Banks Are Money-Making
Concerns.
“I do not believe all of this ap
parent effort to force the sale of cot
ton*is necessary. If the regional sys
tem and the bankers generally would |
stand behind cotton it ‘ought to be as
easy to finance the cotton crop as it
is to sell the obligations of France
to the extent of one hundred million
dollars. I do not want to criticise the
regional system, but it does appear
that it has been converted into a
money-making proposition. If the,
reports* we hear are true, the re
gional system has made in the past
six months two hundred million dol
lars. It seems that a little more elas
ticity might be used in financing the
South’s cotton erop.
“Recently the English people
started out to ascertain what could
be done to produce more cotton nec
essary to supply the world. That
would indicate that they know there
is not too much cotton grown. It
should also be remembered that, all
duiing the war, the farmers were
appealed to to grow more foodstuffs
and food, and, without their help,
this and the old countries wouvld have
been in a deplorable condition. If the
government provides a subsidiary ar
rangement to care for certain other
enterprises why is it not legitimate
to make come arrangement to keep
the farmer going?
“The farmer who has plenty of
food and plenty to live on should
hold his best grades of cotton and
plant less each year; then they will
ha skle to come into their own. This
~dvic =2 ie contrary to the advice giv
en in circular letters being sent out
odvising the farmer to sell his cotton
and unless 1 am mistakin most farm
ers can afford ®to hold their cotton
and when those ships, which are al
ready chartered, begin to reach the
southern ports prices will advance.”

MUCH OPPOSITION AT CONGRES
~ SIONAL CONVENTION TO EN
| DORSING THE PRESIDENT.
AMERlCUS.—Excitement charac
terized the session of the Third dis
trict congressional convention which
met here to formally nominate Con
gressman Crisp.
Delegates present were almost
unanimously in the selection of Chas.
R. Crisp as the party nominee, but
a fight developed when W. W. Dykes
of Americus, introduced the follow
ing resolutions: )
“Be it resolved by the Third dis
trict convention, That we do hereby
unqualifiedly endorse the splendid
achievements of the democratic ad
ministration under the leadership of
the great democratic executor, Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson, with the as
sistance and co-operation of the dem
ocratic representatives in congress.”
W. T. McMath, a delegate repre
senting Sumter county, was the first
to oppose the resolution.
“I do not approve the acts of the
administration in attempting to dic
tate to Georgia two years ago how
she should vote,” McMath said, “I do
not approve the act of the adminis
tration at San Francisco in seating
the rump delegation from Georgia;
I do not approve the stand of the
administration on the league of na
tions.”
Sam A. Rodgers said one hundred
and twelve thousand votes were poll
ed in Georgia a few days ago against
the administration’s policy, and R. B.
Gaston intimated that Judge Crisp
had obtained the nomination through
the endorsement of Thomas E. Wat
son when he said, “If we endorse
Judge Crisp we have got to repudi
ate President Wilson.” This state
ment caused T. M. Furlow, personal
represerntative of Judge Crisp on the
floor of the convention, te assert “I
feel that this question is no longer
open but that we’ve settled it.” At
this J. E. Hayes, of Montezuma, who
was in the chair, immediately ruled
the discussion out of order and the
Dykes resclution was adopted with
six dissenting votes. .
After the nomination of Judge
Crisp a new district executive com
mittee was named as follows: Ben
Hill county, A. J. McDonald, Fitz
gerald; Clay county, G. M. Bell,
Bluffton; Crisp county, A. F. Church
well, €Cordele; Dooly county, J. W.
Lyttle, Vienna; Lee county, J. H.
Randall, Smithville; Macon county,

count, R. L. Moye, Cuthbert; Sum
ter county, Hollis Fort, Americus;
Schley county, A. S. Rainey, Ella
ville; Stewart county, E. L. Carter,
Fumpkin; Terrell county, -R. R.
Jones, Dawson: Turner county, W.
K. Jenkins, Ashburn; Taylor county.
F. R. Purvis, Howard; Webster
county, A. P. Passmore, Weston.
Is Now Willing to Accept 10 Instead
Of 20 Per Cent Increase in
Tax Valuations.
AMERICUS, Ga.—State Commis
sioner Fullbright has notified Sum
ter county officials that he is willing
to accept a settlement in valuations
in Sumter county on a basis of 10
per cent increase over the valuations
reached this vear by the ceunty
board of equalization, instead of in
sisting upon 20 per cent increase
called for by him in a previous let
ter. The decision is arrived at, he
says, in consideration of the state
ment of George D. Wheatley, writing
for the board, that. valuations had
already been raised by the board this
year all that could be increased in
one year, and also in order to effect
a settlement at once without further
delay and the necessary expense of
resorting to arbitration. It was his
contention that, despite the increases
made, Sumter county valuations were
still 20 per cent below the standard
he had set.
