All at once the wires that controlled
the automatic sprinkler system in the

other instant the whole interior of the
building burst Into a blaze. The
sprinkler wires had In some way touch

EATONTON. Ga., Dec. 14.—Every
body In Georgia recognizes that Judge

the strong men of the state. Stepping
Into hla office today, he seemed willing

great cotton slump caught him with
some hales on hand.

did so before our,people had Invested

His face had worn a somewhat
troubled mien, but brightening as if a

suddenly chnnged the tenor of hls
marks and said: “Why don’t you Ma

for our next governor? We need Just

hope your Macon people will do the

Thus spoke one of the solid men of
Georgia—a man, too, who was strong
for Bryan In 1898. but who sees the Im

HAWKINSVILLE. Oa., Dec. 14.—
The appeal sent out by the fanners of
Washington county on the cotton alt
untlnn, and the actions taken by the
cotton holders of Texas, Oklahoma,
Indian Territory and other places haa
met with high favor among the farm
era of Pulaski county and this sur
rounding country.
Many of the leading representatives
planters from all aetlons of thla coun
try were here Saturday and Monday
and the situation was freely discussed
on the streets.
Fully three-foutrh of the cotton
raised around here has been sold at
an average of 10 cents and when the
price fell under 10 cents the market
Ing was vltually discontinued without
financial embarrassment either to tho
merchant or to the farmer on account
of the fact that the farmers have paid
out of debt and have, so to speak,
full sufficiency of ready cash with
which to mnxe next year’s crop, and
they declare that they will hold this
cotton indefinitely rather thantsell
far less than 10 cents per pound.
Mr. G. W. Brown, one of this coun
ty’s most prosperous planters, says that
In hls Immediately section thfy have
the unsold cotton scarcely housed
good shelters with the exception
some which is stored In the warehouses
of Hawklnsvllle. He says that nine
out of ten of his neighbors are !n fine
financial condition nnd that they can
hold what little cotton they have left
all through next year nnd hardly feel
It, and that they are not going to sell
until they can get their price. Mr.
Drown has sold 40 or 50 bales at‘ an
average of 10 to 10 V4 cents.
Mr. M. B. Simmons of Eastern Pu
laskl, reports thnt hls section is in
prosperous condition and thnt they are
holding some cotton for a rise. "We
have it well stored where It doesn’
cost us anything to keep It nnd we
will keep it until It rots rather than
sell It for less than 10 or 12 cents/
said Mr. Blmmona.
Mr. Simmons says two of hls neigh
bors have on hand almost their entrie
crop but that a majority of them sold
the bulk of It at a good price, and that
they are truly independent of the sit
uation. He sayr. they are taking steps
to curtail next year’s 'crop and that
they are ready to enter into any or
ganisation with that object in view.
Mr. M. C. Scoot of the upper edge
Dodge county and who has made
average of 11 hales of cotton and
bushels of corn to the plow, says that
some cotton 'Is being held in his sec
tlon and that they will glndly Join any
combination to curtail the next crop
aa some of them have declared it their
Intention already to plant 38 1-3
cent less cotton. He says they have
made all arrangement to hold their
cotton for better prices if It requires
a year’s time.
Mr. T. J. Meadows of Cary, a flour
ishing agricultural locality In North
ern Pulaakt. reports favorable and
prosperous conditions there. Mr.
Meadowa numbers among Pulaski’s
MeVay at the head of this movement.
